Yeah it makes no sense, it's basically a manual for running friendships like a business which is of course bad in the long run. It makes me actually wonder how many people read that book but on the other hand I think many have been raised with the notion that everything needs to be great all the time

It's funny that the article starts with drawing the line to the "old days". It makes me think the true reason is basically people moving far away eventually - and it's by all means desirable. At the same time many aren't interested in starting a family, divorce rates are high anyway.

> How to Win Friends and Influence People is still a good foundation

I think a lot of the advice in the book is quite dreadful. Although I could imagine this to be an interesting read for sales people

As stated somewhere else, at the end the video will go through very lossful compression and often be scaled down when used at work. I mean I'm now at my 4th webcam since the pandemic started because the other cams were: too dark, constantly zooming in and out for no reason (MS Cinema Lifecam), poor image. I now sticked with the Logitech C920 because I can manually set brightness/contrast/activate autofocus.

I think that understates how bad the current state of webcams really is. Esp. when you move around a lot while talking/there's an unusual light situation. IMHO first these core problems need to be solved (and then of course it'd be great be build upon that)

True... Also in the stock trading community I think crypto has always been seen with suspicion if not even as pure pump and dump.

(Although the original goals seem interesting, speaking of an inflation defying currency. It's hard to imagine the problem wouldn't pop out elsewhere)

That's true, I can also imagine how the discussions on the project went. Privacy was never mentioned at all

OTOH with that knowledge Facebook might probably want to filter certain keys and values

At first sight it is a great setup. And yet to take the argument to the extreme and considering unregistered work, at first it seems a good deal for workers, less paperwork and less taxes etc. But it only works until workers try to make use of their rights, get sick or similar, then it can turn out to be really bad.

I think overall it's fixing the right problem (complex paperwork, privacy issues) but not in a sustainable way.

From a purely isolated Experimental (Physics) point of view this might be true. But of course both theory and experiments are highly intertwined. For instance if you would like to observe Neutrinoless Double beta decay in nature, even if it exists, you might never get a chance to actually measure it because it would occur so seldomly. With setups like the LHC there is actually a realistic chance (if such phenomena exist) to measure them and thus applying that knowledge to various theories existing or in the making.

That said, of course particle physics results have direct applications. For instance in speculative commercial applications of Nuclear fusion and also Quantum Computing is connected to particle physics. I mean even GPS systems are based on 4D space time. Not entirely sure if any of that can be directly attributed to research happening in colliders but this is just one part of the field, mainly the experimental part - which can verify/falsify theories or result in new ones.

> The hypothetical machine could not truly test string theory

Interesting point, there was a time where it wasn't even clear whether string theory should be considered part of Physics or rather Mathematics or even Metaphysics. That said, the LHC has continuously given additional insights into existing theories and also it's not the only collider in the world although probably there's no other where so many countries collaborate. Also an interesting read about the early history of CERN: https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.1955503

Well, this is pretty much Google Docs or any Open Source clone like Nextcloud or LibreOffice Online I guess. It's surely possible though to write something like that with a very lean UI.

I think many Web developers go by default for something more complex though because it's not necessarily more effort. And well, there are already a bizillion similar apps.

But this one might be relatively close to what you're looking for: https://github.com/DanielDe/org-web (At least if you self-host, the web server of org-web.org doesn't seem very fast :))

Well it's a flawed optimization in the end. Shareholders will actually not gain from removing critical thinking, the inverse happens but at an unknown point in time which is somehow the worst-case for a shareholder. But I think things actually got better, there was a time when people would have to answer about their greatest weaknesses that they are impatient about tasks getting finished.

No expert but here's a link: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2022/05/24/u...

The text below the yellow headline "州直各县市公安局:" means "Public Security Bureaus of all counties and cities directly under the prefecture:" and is Simplified Chinese if I'm not mistaken. In Traditional Chinese it would be written "州直各縣市公安局:".

The differing 4th letter is 县 (simplified) vs 縣 (traditional).

Checked with https://www.purpleculture.net/traditional-simplified-convert... and Google Translate...

I think the only reason nuclear is in such high regard is because it's so risky and complicated so it must have an enormous efficiency.

What a bad company. Also just 2 weeks ago a recruiter from them wrote me on LinkedIn that they are looking to fill various positions

> Well, we went entirely off the gold standard and starting printing money.

Germany had a similar dynamic actually speaking about proportionally less money in employees' bank accounts. And the explanation is simple and I think already mentioned, due to the reconstruction efforts after the war the economy expanded a lot and many people could raise their standards of living easily. Surely that couldn't continue until forever.

At the same time this paved the way for more hawkish politics both in the US and in Europe. IMHO this doesn't have much to do with decoupling from Gold. I think only the Money supplies M0 and MB were coupled to it but the others M1-M3 which are larger by several orders of magnitude can even be created by commercial banks.

The curve of M2 isn't changing much in direction during 1970:

Yeah, the cane toads were introduced to control beetles (I thought it was the case for the other animals but it's not)

Everything in the more general direction of environmental engineering has failed IMHO. For instance speaking of efforts to limit animal populations in Australia that led to explosions of other animal populations. Or trying to make rivers straight. Also considering the concept of sponge cities and that Wuhan is one of those isn't very reassuring.

But generally I'd agree if everything else possible was done (like a 10x reduction of fossil fuel) but we've not even started. In fact CO2 emissions increased 6% in 2021.

After all it's the perception that counts.

From my experience the perception is usually rather negative. I think the reason for this is it's hard to impossible to have the full context which can include effort spent already on something as well as actual need and other information that is just not available to the other person.

Same for me. I'm also astonished about the amount of time that is often expected to be put into an interview process especially speaking about take home tasks. But apart from interviews, I think self-taught engineers are still in high regard at most places because solving blocking problems and building things that last is not something that can be learned easily.

That makes ThinkPads with Linux look much different than before compared to MacBooks with macOS. (And save a lot of update/re-configure/re-install cycles...)

That's true, also considering how many people believe or pretend to believe in conspiracy theories as absurd as reptile people and looking at violent protests that have been happening in the last years. So at least the negative effects have become most apparent in adults actually

Buying near expiry OTM options is kind of the gold standard on r/wallstreetbets anyway. But I think giving away insider DDs there would cannibalize the winning chance and could in theory even turn a projected win into a loss which is why ultimately this information isn't thrown around easily. That said, a winning streak by someone can really just be pure luck and most DDs are based on incomplete/speculative information. Also that's really the point of wsb to place actual bets (safe plays are on r/investing...)

No worries! True, true... Might be worth a try and see how people react. At least it sounds less technical

Yeah metalanguages sounds good. I was also thinking of tongue or jargon, but metalanguages seems less ambiguous/more polished (not a native speaker anyway) Ah cool, that's definitely a useful job. In my last adventure in the corporate space as engineer that was definitely a topic.

(To answer the edit: I think this emotional communication reminds me so much of EQ and all this. Dealing directly on the language layer with this seems more next level I would say)

But generally I think that's where a lot of conflict in workplaces (and not only there) comes from. People have different preferences for talking, also because of having different goals, speaking habits and interests. Telling someone who speaks very diplomatically to read their goddamn email might come off intimidating while another person might just think this is really important. Or vice-versa passive aggressive/condescending. Both sides knowing this would already help a lot. IMHO this would even make frameworks like non-violent communication obsolete. People trying to bend their way of talking too much is definitely not fun

Yeah there's not much the other person can respond to that stuff. Better would be to start a discussion if any of these things are worth bothering

The next time I learn something I might do that actually. With books I learned programming and Linux. Also it doesn't have to be read at once but can be stretched over months. Now it seems much harder for me to learn something I'm not familiar with at all.

Learning with video series/online courses rarely works for me also. Although I do like good Getting started tutorials for topics with flat learning curve

I think it's quite popular, also speaking of testing it really has all options available. Since unit testing is now absolutely the standard, adoption of TDD has also been growing from what I've seen

I guess this also shows the limits of communities where the topic is basically everything

It's transactional anyway so it's possible to make the file/dir structure as merge friendly as possible. In the simplest case just 1 file per operation with unique filenames.

Speaking of trusted parties, (multiple) of those could be set up using a chain of trust in every network segment that do as much cross-signing/-verification as deemed necessary. Once it goes online again, the performed operations could go on-chain.
