> Selling puts is a long position -- a bullish position -- not a short position. You would only sell puts if you were optimistic about the company. The fact that you don't know that tells me you're not ready to trade options and vindicates my statement that you don't fundamentally understand stock trading. So maybe stop going around and telling people to "put their money where their mouth is by shorting."

Originally, the "15 minutes city" is simply a city planning guideline, which tells you that cities should strive to have every amenities close to where people live, ideally everyone should have everything in a 15 minutes radius. Far-right lunatics interpreted it as being constrained by the government in a 15 minutes radius around their home, which is insane thinking indeed.

I live in a "15 minutes city", Paris, I have 5 grocery stores in a 5 minutes walking radius, I go to work in 15 minutes using the metro, and if I want to I can get anywhere in France in a few hours by taking the train. That someone would not want this and instead fight for their rights to commute 2 hours everyday by car is insane to me.

That still counts. It would technically be eliminating DST shifting, and then redefining the standard time zones as minus one hour. It would just be the new standard and no more switching.

In the part of the world where I currently live there are cafes/restaurants that have a menu ONLY in the form a QR code that leads to some shitty slow and laggy webpage with the actual menu. I can't express how much I hate this.

Why do I even need a smartphone the go to a restaurant and eat something? Why would anyone effectively refusing service to people who don't have smartphones or do not want to use them? If I need their service and have money to pay for it why would they put additional obstacles in my way? What's their motivation for scaring of a potential customer using totally arbitrary criteria that has nothing to do with the service they provide?

Oh, I hate it so much.
> The russian soldiers also largely don't think they represent evil, they think they defend russia

Let's suppose this is true (I'm not convinced, in practice most of them are fighting because they don't have choice, so what they think doesn't matter that much anyway). How do they explain the cognitive dissonance that instead of defending Russia they are actively attacking Ukraine? It makes no sense at all.

If you say that they believe that Russia should be great again, and Ukrainians should be its subjects just like Belorussians, this makes much more sense, and there is support for this kind of thinking in the population. But let's not pretend they're good guys then.
As a child, time changes were my first "peak behind the curtain" where I began to clue in to the artificiality of clocks, and later many other social constructs.

To me, the absurdity of time changes is a reminder of how much of our life is governed by strange conventions and practices from a bygone era.

I would like it if we stopped doing time changes, but until then, at some level I still enjoy observing this strange tradition.

You are describing daylight saving time.

I think it is nice to put an extra hour of sun in the evening. Most people don't get up at like 5am to get the first hour of sunlight.

As the day gets shorter you'd be better off putting it in the middle of the day to keep the morning lit up.
We should eliminate (user-facing) standard time. Now that virtually everybody has time-telling computers instead of just mechanical clocks, we have a real opportunity to go back to True Solar Time. Noon can be set to precisely when the sun is highest in the sky at your precise location. This is enabled by smartphones knowing the astronomical date and your precise position on the geoid. Your noon and the noon of people a few miles away would be slightly different, but computers can automatically handle all the calculations required to coordinate with these time differences.

As a species, we didn't stop using solar time until sometime around the industrial revolution, when getting workers into factories at a precise predictable time became important to the people with money. (Some, such as people in monasteries, lived their lives according to clocks before this for superstitious reasons, but that wasn't the norm for the general population.)

We now have the technology to free ourselves from this clock tyranny and restore balance between our lives and daylight, if only we are willing to once again break from tradition.
I suppose UK politics with a more representative voting system would actually be a multi-party system. Last election, Labour and Conservative got 60% of the vote, and neither would be close to a majority on its own. And that's already with some people voting tactically.

So I guess the two are inextricably linked.
Yes, I picked SOTU because that's a general audience, unlike economic clubs.

And heading in the direction of Dick and Jane doesn't mean that we ever reached it; according to https://community.jmp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8926i... recent SOTUs should be comprehensible to high school freshmen.

EDIT: keep in mind that the expected "general" audience for the SOTU has also expanded dramatically due to technological change in between 1790 and 2018...

These are quasars in 13+ billion years old footage.

Using the official age of the universe we need to then form the quasar in a dense matter region and then speedrun a galaxy merger that ejects the relevant quasar out into sparse space, all of that in a few hundred million years only.

Using contemporary cosmology practices I suggest we add a Dark Age to everything observed. Yes the age of the quasar is 13 billion something years in the axis of regular time, but due to observations disagreeing with this timeline we can just keep adding years to any given observation in the Dark Age, complex time axis, until the problem is solved

I wouldn't say that I thrive, more that when the flight-or-fight instinct kicks in, I become extremely productive.

Prior to getting diagnosed and medicated, my life was pretty much long periods of nothing, with small bursts where I did everything.

Take college, for example. I was completely unable to partition a project into daily tasks. I'd get borderline anxiety from looking at the problem set, and then get distracted. It was only when the deadline started to get close, that my fight-or-flight instinct would set in. Then I'd sit up 1-2-3 days straight and work on the problem - not 100%, but small bursts of 100% focus and attention, before eventually getting distracted. I'd oscillate between those states.

To outsiders it will look completely ridiculous. You could literally be dealing with life-altering decisions, with the clock ticking down, and then you suddenly start looking at cute cat vids. Before shifting back and grinding away at the problem, but even more stressed.

Luckily medication has worked wonders for me. I'm able to just start on the tasks, and work consistently on them. Work and life now feels like a marathon, rather than a bunch of impossible sprints.

In Turkey, they killed the daylight savings and people are hating it because it means waking up in the dark in the winter.

However It's an active political topic, creates 1 hour difference with the European neighbors and the secular Turks believe that the government is doing it to separate them from Europe and bring them closer with the Arab neighbors(Which is somewhat plausible, the country's population and economic activities are concentrated in the western part), which might be influencing the opinions on the matter.

But this is my point - the definitions are the way they are because it's a good model of counting (and other counting-like things). They weren't invented in a vacuum.

Similarly the fact that multiplication and division are inverses is a property of this model. Conceptually you can imagine splitting and copying groups of objects quite independently of one another (and which one you view as fundamental is really a post-hoc choice).

In general these days we mostly see clean mathematical abstractions because all the scaffolding has already been removed by mathematicians past. And as a result people come to believe that this is how mathematics is done. But always there is an initial period of exploration (which eventually gets forgotten) as people try to work out how to axiomatise the various systems they are interested in.
Wait a minute. I thought the USB-C port on the Raspberry Pi 4 was only for power input. Is it also useable as a data port?
I don’t know if I have ADHD (though I recently had some tests done and am waiting on results), but I found this relatable. If I’m interested in something I will hyper focus on it all day. If I’m not, and there is no deadline, I’ll find it impossible to get started. As a deadline approaches (a real one, not something made up), a point is reached where I think I can get it done if I literally do nothing else, and then I can focus and get it done.

Deadlines that our made up, I know are made up, have no consequences, and the where the whole project seems pointless, do not work the same way. Those are still ignored in spite of the stress and external person might try to apply.

My old boss saw this pattern and if he gave me a project I didn’t instantly latch onto and turn around, he’d give it to someone else and I’d get something I was actually interested in and spent most of my days working long hours because I’d be hyper focused on whatever project I was working on and put in 12+ hour days every day.

Since I was talking about russian soldiers, I did talk about their motivation. Not about russian people who are not soldiers and don't want to become soldiers. Because the russian army still largely consists of voluntarily soldiers.

And as far as I know, defending mother russia from NATO aggression is a major motivator, as well as money is.

But also the Nazis did not view themself as evil - but rather as powerful because of lack of restraint. And protecting the poor suppressed aryan people.

So my point was not at all, that the russian soldiers are somehow nice - just that the world is not as black and white as fantasy often is - but people like the fantasy approach of black and white - and the proplem starts when they apply this thinking to the real world.
Ditto. Roomette is highly recommended.
Yep, we don't need open source anymore but LEAN open source and that, including the SDK.
> but generally I just want a set of knobs to tweak behaviour.

But you can do that so easily as well! Like, take this YAML (substitute equivalent JSON or TOML, specific configuration language is irrelevant):

options:
someOption: 14
nested:
foo: "some string"
bar: true

I don't see how that's so much easier than this version in Lua:

options = {
someOption = 14,
nested = {
foo = "some string",
bar = true
}
}

And when you do need to get a bit more complex, you have the the tools to manage that complexity. Like, if you have a bunch of very similar things (say, job definitions in CI/CD), you want a way to not repeat yourself so you only have to edit that once, YAML has a tool for that, "anchors" [1]. But it's obscure and a bit hard to use. In a real programming language, it's trivial: just stick the repetitive parts in a variable and use that. Or define a simple function in case most of the stuff is repeated, but some is not, so you can do

foo = generateRepetativeConfig('specificOption')

Or maybe you can just do that with a simple for-loop. And if you want to do something like a string substitution, you have a whole dang language with the tools you need to do it.

Dhall and languages like that are a big improvement, but really, I just want a normal programming language. We have decades of experience now with managing complexity in computer systems, and programming languages have evolved robust systems for handling that.

I agree that sandboxing and security can be a real concern for some of this stuff, in which case Starlark is perfect, though you can sandbox languages like Lua or various Lisps as well.

I suppose... If I ask Google's AI to walk me through the process of baking a chocolate cake, I don't care if the AI seamlessly recommends a brand of flour or appliance. As long as it doesn't compromise the fundamental cake-making advice.

Where it gets problematic, is if the AI pushes a specific brand as a necessary step of the cake-making process. Suddenly it's unethical.

It would also be a problem if the AI recommended a competing brand of appliance if I were specifically asking the AI to tell me how to use XYZ brand of appliance. Kind of like how Google lets advertisers buy ads for competitor keywords, which in my opinion is grubby and borderline unethical.

I read Putin's rationalization that was published just after the war broke off and retracted soon after but you can still read it.[0] He basically claims that Russia has to be great again and it is his historical role to conquer it so that Ukrainians are his slaves just like Belorussians are.

So yes, they have their reasons and realizations, just like another ruler in 1938 and 1939, the problem is that nobody else agreed with them.

What is the point of a standard that is not pulicly available ?
Honestly, I have never particularly enjoyed that it gets light here at 4AM in the summer, with the false damn beginning nearly ann hour earlier, even with DST: we certainly don’t need it getting light any earlier.

During the summer it has already been light for hours before I actually need to rise even with DST. To me this decades of scientific investigation seems to have come up with a conclusion that may well only make sense within a narrower range of latitudes rather than being some sort of universal truth.

Also, it’s in the winter that it’s dark when I rise and leave the house, which apparently is a problem I should worry about in summer according to this piece.

It reads pretty nonsensically to me.

For some people, psychedelic use leads to mystical/spiritual/religious thinking.

But that's not the main way in which they are able to treat mental health problems, specifically not in the majority (I suspect all) actual scientific research on this subject, but also just for people using them outside medical trials.

The key thing, it seems, is that psychedelics temporarily (while you're under the influence) increase the connectivity between different neurons in the brain, and between different areas of the brain. That can help in two ways, the first of which is that some new connections can become not temporary, and keep existing for the foreseeable future. The other is that, while under the influence, those additional neuron connections allow the person to think in different ways than they normally do, to see ideas or problems from a different angle/perspective. And this difference is what allows the therapy administered at the same time as the psychedelic drug (or the self-therapy version of using a drug and then thinking about the subjects that are causing you distress in life) to potentially have a better chance of making a stronger change to how the person thinks about certain things than if the same therapy were provided without psychedelics enabling greater levels of rewiring of the brain.
