> I don’t see how you’ve arrived at marathons having any specific norms. No doping and no assault is pretty universal. Can you explain it better?

Sure. First, I'm going to leave 'assault' because I think it sort of changes the mapping between marathon running and speedrunning in an analogy-breaking way and adds ethical concerns that aren't really relevant to the point and practically don't exist for speedrunning anyway. I understood what the poster was saying, but I think it's not a great example.

Second, I'm going to suggest that like speedrunning, a marathon run is really against the clock. This isn't strictly true, but it's true enough for the analogy to work.

With all that in place, the apparent universality of 'no doping' is half the point. There are no marathons where you can choose to dope or not dope and they simply categorize you that way. Doping has a fair chance of ruining a career and disqualifying the participant from future marathons.

The other half of the point is that it doesn't have to be this way. We could have separate marathons for dopers, allow them to race together with non-dopers but categorize them differently, or even have specified paths to run but no organized marathon and allow people to get creative in speedrunning them. We could allow people to find shortcuts on trails to improve their time and then categorize them differently from those who follow the proscribed path. Yet we don't do any of it.

In contrast, speedrunning does allow this sort of activity. Tools are okay, but now you're categorized as TAS. You don't have to 100% the game, but now you're doing an Any% run. This does not exist in marathons. You can't take a short cut and get an "Any%" time, for instance.

Simply put, if a speedrunner finds a shortcut it is celebrated, but if a marathon runner happens to find a path down a vine that saves him 10 minutes of running, he's a cheater. These are two different ethical systems.

> The point was that speed runners are not operating with different ethics than any other competition, or society in general.

As you can see above, I disagree with this statement. I haven't read all the sibling and cousin posts, but neither the poster you responded to nor the top poster said the ethical system was bad; in fact both found it interesting. Both the marathon system of ethics and the speedrunning system of ethics seem to have the same moral or ethical basis in fairness, but the approach is different and therefore is the ethical system.

> “Anything goes” isn’t accurate as a description, and the top poster maybe didn’t realize that suggesting that exploiting game glitches somehow represented flexible ethics might be a bit presumptuous and patronizing, and also incorrect.

This is not my interpretation of the top post and I think it's extremely ungenerous. He expressed surprised that a system designed to work around the rules still develops a system of ethical rules. His edit then points out that honesty is a core tenet of the ethics of the group.

For the past 10 years I’ve only allowed two types of “notifications”

Phone calls. Vibration allowed, never sound.

Text/whatsapp messages. They are allowed to simply appear on the lock screen. No vibrations, no sound.

That’s it, for everything else I have to manually open the app to check it.

It’s shocking to me to see how the vast majority of people live with a constant barrage of notifications of which a huge majority are spam and/or not important at all.
This is the best debunk I could find: https://iter.ca/post/1875-epoch/
Lot of weasel words in there. "Virtually no one" and "genuinely important" stick out. You also say that these people have a PhD, not that they did the genuinely important research when they were getting their PhD.

The people doing research having PhDs does not mean you need one to do the research, and you are helping to demonstrate that. Even for the specific field you chose, you needed to add a bunch of caveats in order for your stance to be at all accurate. This shouldn't even need to be said, but many (most?) of the greatest mathematicians in history did not have PhDs.
Like I said, women don't want to self-reflect.

Many have this perception that they are contributing far more than they actually are, and they come up with narratives like this to justify that false perception.
Sharing a simple thought experiment that was shared with me years ago that explains (to me at least) why this is an interesting question. Imagine a billiard ball with nonzero velocity bouncing around an enclosed box. When the ball encounters a side of the box, it bounces off elastically. A replay of this ball's path over time is equally plausible if the replay were run forward or reversed. The preceding is also true if one imagines 2 or 3 balls, with the only difference being that the balls may also bounce off each other elastically. Even in this scenario, reversibility of playback holds no matter the configuration of the balls: they could all start clustered or be scattered and the replay would be plausible when played in either time direction. But this is no longer true when the box (now much larger) contains millions of billiard balls. If the balls start clustered together, they will scatter over time about the box and the replay of their paths has only one plausible time direction. This is because it is extremely unlikely that all the billiards will, simply by chance at some point in the future, collect together so they are contained within a very small volume. To summarize, in the "few scenario" we can plausibly reverse time but in the "many scenario", we cannot. The only difference between scenarios is the number of balls in the box, which suggests that time is an emergent property. layer8's answer elsewhere in this thread says the same, but more succinctly.

I must inform you that in my mind this makes you a wizard.

By which I mean, thinking ahead and preparing items that give you options in the event of unlikely but possible situations is a very wizard-like thing to do.
Except we're seeing the opposite in the real world.

Let me give you a scenario. It's the 1940's, a company has a policy that privileges white applicants. Someone says, "let's remove this policy, and tell the company they have to treat all applicants easily." Someone else replies, "no, because if this company was told they had to treat everyone equally and not privilege white people they would discriminate against white people. I have many studies proving this!"

Does that pass the smell test? A company that's intentionally trying to privilege group X is suddenly going to discriminate against group X if they're told they have to treat everyone equally?
I guess we're re-inventing "web safe" colors?

Pyramid schemes are illegal, but Multi-Level-Marketing schemes are legal.

And you don't need multiple levels. You can have one level. That's called affiliate marketing.

Loyalty points are a thing. You can earn them as an affiliate, for instance. It doesn't have to be a pyramid. But if you are going that route, almost all startups are "pyramid schemes" that end up with an IPO where the public continues to demand rents be extracted perpetually to boost stock price endlesssly, resulting in increased "enshittification". I'd rather people earn utility tokens they can spend once into the economy, than shares where they have the right to demand rent extraction and enshittification for everyone else.
Pretty close to impossible to find a modern vehicle (less than 20 years old) that is not using drive by wire technology.
The use case is any business with dozens/hundreds/thousands of physical locations spread throughout the country. They need to keep track of adverse weather events, road closures, power outages, etc. If you have a bunch of franchises $1k is a drop in the bucket. Let's say one of your stores opens at 7am but the system reports a power outage at 4am. Now you have actionable information to deal with it before your boots on the ground even get there.

Yes, you're correct on both counts. You can add non-default channels and get a different kernel if you so desire. Personally I have stuck to the defaults.
I suspect that few people want to be involved. It is difficult and dangerous work. It requires a personality that both cares for others, while being resilient enough to face the challenges of those in their care. By in large, it is also a thankless job. Just look at many of the responses here. The public don't care about the time and effort involved. Many think that it is best to just lock them up. Quite often the recipients don't care. They are too busy battling their own demons.

It's probably best to have safety nets in place so that people don't reach these depths in the first place.
The other side is that an empire can remain irrational longer than you can remain alive. There can be clear signs of impending collapse, but the actual collapse can be a year or a century away.
Step 1: echo $SHELL
Step 2: should mention profiles
Step 3: is likely confused by terminal emulators that do not start login shells so profile is not reread (this is also why you don’t have dozens of duplicate path entries all the time). Trial and error is misleading without knowing why login items are or are not reread.
Step 4: adding these statements to rc’s will generally lead to duplicate entries for nested shells
Step 5: starts nested shells, so prior instances of step 4 demonstrate the problem with step 4. A login shell can generally be started cleanly like exec env -I $SHELL -l

Problem 2: comes from an all too common choice not to understand profiles and login shells. This includes vscodes choices.

Problem X: adding empty string to your path. This has all kinds of bad outcomes.

"This is a very strong first world POV. Those U$D 300 rank pretty high across world's minimum salaries "

My point, since I was replying to a poster who said the above, was if you are making $300 a year, you don't have a laptop. So, if you read my assumption, that you don't have a laptop, android phone or laptop, and you are making < $1000 USD a year, the Flea-Scope will cost more than a decent one with a built in display and much more than a ~2mhz toy intro oscilloscope ($11 on Aliexpress) [1]

They "just" appropriate "profits" from those assets, which effectively means inflationary erasure of purchasing power on the scale of several billions per year, and use assets to back Ukrainian loans with everyone's tacit understanding of future prospects of those loans.

From what I understand, and there's some extrapolation so I may very well be wrong, the difference here is that rather than basing targeting on identification cookies and Google Ad Id, they're now using stuff like fingerprinting and ip addresses to identify and cross reference people.

I find it so extremely disingenuous to call that "privacy enhancing technology" and lay it heavy on the fact that it's less intrusive, when the difference is that instead of inserting a tracker in your browser they do the same tracking without the tracker, and in a less bypassable way.

I'm going to twiddle my thumbs for another year or two before even looking up data because the Ukraine war will be obscuring the trends - but that phrase could be describing all of Asia and most of Europe as far as I know. A lot of people trade with Russia. "want insulation from relying on USD for international exchange" could even include US citizens.

Do those aspects affect gold though; it seems like it'd maybe affect the crypto markets and international diplomacy. Scenarios where gold is used for everyday transactions still seem a bit far fetched to me. It seems more likely that people would trade in local currencies. Maybe, I suppose.

Reserve confiscation is something that the central banks have to worry about more directly and they tend to be gold holders.

Proving the nonexistence of signs is not a position I would be willing to take as it is far too philosophically difficult to defend.

The reality is that both the Ukrainian and Iranian situations are far from an equilibrium; there don't need to be signs to know that dramatic changes are coming, we just can't tell what those changes will actually look like.

But this is no longer true when the box (now much larger) contains millions of billiard balls. If the balls start clustered together, they will scatter over time about the box and the replay of their paths has only one plausible time direction.

List doesn't include "the same color should look the same on all renderers/browsers". One of the problems with CYMK (intended for print, not screen) is that screens render in RGB and each browser has it's own algorithm for how to convert from CYMK to RGB. So if you have an image in CYMK and use that on the web, it looks different on different browsers. And people complain and then you need to explain to them "convert it to RGB and use that, because this isn't a problem with the site it's a problem with the encoding not being meant for the site".
