That also explains why it's become astronomically harder to make it as a content creator, instead of easier, like this whole information revolution promised.
I like this video, it helped me visualize the Fourier transform when I first started getting into this stuff. Still only in calculus 1 though so definitely want to come back to it down the road.
This is all a ton of pontification without arriving at any sort if logical conclusion. You used to be vegan but stopped because you didn't feel like you could enact change with your diet? Weak .
So... You used to be vegan but you stopped because of how 'monstrous the self righteous were'? So billions of animals raped and slaughtered every year for taste but but na fk that, some vegans are uppity...?
So it seems to me you are projecting after all. There's nothing wrong with 'virtue signalling' whether we do it by nature or not. It's ALWAYS brought up in the context of trying to shame white men for being supportive towards women and minorities.
It's tragic how much of afar fry the effects of capitalism are from their ideals. In a 'pro business' world, business would constantly sub contract out to each other; think like these scooter companies being used to make deliveries. But the reality is resource management is just so much more effective in-house. Like you state, it becomes increasingly difficult for third parties to operate. It's almost as if centralization is a natural result of industry.
Not all views are valid and should be tolerated or platformed, though. Assuming you disagree, I challenge you to argue against that without using what amounts to a slippery slope fallacy.
Recently built a machine and had some setup issues and was quite dumbfounded by the lack of community support on windows. 90% of search results aren't relevant, and the rest are dead ends. Realized it was the result of ms acting as a source-of-truth.
'Common' in 'parts' is weasel-wordy with a tinge of orientalism.
Whether gutter oil exists in any capacity whatsoever, it'd be merely a brief encounter with rural Chinese principles and the commercialism of the developed world; therefore it won't stick around for long as China becomes more developed.
Indeed. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when the most disadvantaged members of society have no other means to advance other than illicit activities and then those statistics are turned around and continued to be used against them. It's depressing that plenty of people fall for it, citing "the numbers" as evidence for thier hateful claims.
Your friend is not wrong but they were still being toolish about it. You mentioned your struggle, your problem; and instead of trying to commiserate they basically said "it could be worse". Know how you feel, most people can't relate with my life experiences either so in the past when trying to discuss them I received similar levels of dismissal. Something I realized though is that it goes both ways: in the moment they said " that's your privilege talking", you had a window to turn the conversation back to them, to ask about their experiences. Of course that direction for a convo isn't always appropriate, or it may be asked too awkwardly to get a thoughtful response, but I will mention those times I shut up and opened my ears were some that broadened my perspective the most.
> there are plenty of companies that did far worse that we don't hold equally accountable for
Close, bur no cigar. We should definitely hold those companies accountable. We don't, and that's the real problem, not being too harsh on Ms. Crazy-Eyes.
I did live TeXing for about a year, after only having ~a year of emacs and latex use. It's not as hard as it sounds but yes like you mention, it takes your head out of the lecture and into your editor. However, the idea of 'rewrite your notes at the end of the day', who has the time for that though?
It's an effective method of learning. Expose your brain to the concept, then walk away, come back the next day it later on, repeat. Continue to do this and you'll eventually understand. Repetition is the key to mastery, after all.
Discrete math at 17? But can't visualize more than a simple shape? Quite the opposite from myself. Vivid spatial imagination, but abstract ideas take lots of mental effort to assimilate. In calc 1 at 30; after spending three decades hating math I found an interest in it, had just never been 'taught' the right way. It took an acid trip to see the beauty of mathematics.
I come across that attitude often. I was mocked for pointing out Apex legends wasn't running very well on a $2200 sager machine from 2013. "Lol you idiot!!! How can you possibly expect a new game to run on 5 year old machine!"
I deleted my fb+twitter several months ago. It was lonely at first. I realized I had let social media 'automate' my social life away. Since then I've been trying to foster actual friendships through the 'normal channels' like talking, hanging out (when I can make the time) and sms. It feels a bit Luddite in a way, and I feel less like I have 600 friends, and rather like I have 6 friends.
It hasn't been some relevatory experience like some would suggest; social media does make things easier and life without it feel quieter. But like anything else, it's a trade off. biggest positive I've noticed was that I find myself less dopamine-addled. I no longer waste hours on my phone scrolling in order to relax. It took some adjustment time, but I find it easier to get my dopamine fix from more productive hobbies.
Really? I've witnessed zero efforts on behalf of the government to curb free speech. But if you're talking about private speech that happens on privately owned websites, then that's flat out what is allowed by the constitution.
Seems to me that the issue is actually with private ownership being able to censor. Which can only be addressed with, guess what, government intervention.
As someone trying to break into the field, I'm very intimidated by coding challenges. The ones on leetcode take me an afternoon and some change to get through the easy ones. Some people seem to take no issue with googling the result then moving forward but I thought that wasn't in the spirit of doing these challenges.
