I don't appreciate your condescending link. I would caution against treating the FBI as a good-faith actor in the realm of statistics or otherwise.

Most is hard to quantify, but there sure are a lot of them:

Don't forget this gem, which was roundly blamed on MAGA voters:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli-American teenager was found guilty in Israel on Thursday of making about 2,000 hoax bomb threats against Jewish and other institutions in the United States and elsewhere during Donald Trump’s rise to the U.S. presidency in 2016 and 2017.

Its just a series of outrageous political operations.

The context is the battle between capital and labor. Its (historically) very important and this is just one tiny instance of it. Another instance was on NPR today about the proposed railroad workers strike, apparently they don't get any paid sick days which is outrageous especially considering how lauded Warren Buffet is when he yaks about paying less tax than his secretary; well she doesn't spend $10m a year on tax lawyers and maybe Buffet could spare some sick days for the BNSF workers? Tech examples could include workers in China suffering under 9-9-6, or Google-Apple wage suppression collusion, or a common topic around here, how early startup employees lose their equity comp through some kind of legal slight-of-hand.

Maybe they want the dataset for StableDiffusion type stuff.

Makes me wonder what percent of image searches would be better served by image generation?

That assumes mutually-assured destruction. The way to win a nuclear war is with a surprise attack that takes out the opponent's nuclear capabilities, then demand their surrender.

Bell pointed out that while the United States has always had the "technical capability" to implement a policy of launch on warning, it has chosen not to do so. "Our policy is to confirm that we are under nuclear attack with actual detonations before retaliating," he said.

Not related, but I came up with a workaround to add scrolling for Kindle on Desktop. Kindle doesn't support scrolling on their desktop app -- they only allow page-by-page reading for some wacky reason. Workaround is to install "Windows Subsystem for Android", then read it on the kindle app inside the subsystem.

The Bitcoin miner space is a good place to look for articles; they are always looking for cheap/profitable electricity generation.

walkscore.com has heatmaps, theyre very accurate for MN

im not the best, but i think if i was better at math id be closer to that no. 1 spot. i think you should learn about how to succeed at university/how to get the most out of your classes. stay away from digital addictions chess, instagram, hn, reddit, dota and from things that will move you away from your goal.

Michael Crichton gave a talk covering these points.

Seems a lot cheaper to grow mushrooms than raise pigs.

namedpipes didn't work on linux last I checked, but that's fairly insignificant.

C# is the easiest language and I already know it. Facebook was written in PHP, not because it was the best choice, but because Mark already knew it. If I was doing ML stuff I think I'd have to learn python. To be honest I wish I was some emacs genius doing everything on linux, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its way easier to write scripts in dotnet than bash. I'm trying to build a startup with dotnet + kestrel + cassandra on linux.

"dotnet x.dll" is how to run it. Not much to it. I run kestrel webservers on linux.

We wouldn't have to overthrow mid-east dictators every time they threaten to price oil in Euros -- but obviously this wouldn't help much because we'd still need to maintain superpower status or risk losing the world order.

Its really silly. Its not for going long distances and it doesn't solve last mile problem, because well you could just walk 1 mile and wouldn't need to lug 200 pound monstrosity onto the bus. I think the bicycle will never be dethroned as the urban accessory vehicle.

Moving. All the famous actors moved to New York or LA at some point. Elon Musk moved out of South Africa, Silicon Valley, etc.

Sounds like Tim Ferris tbh. His cookbook attempts to teach you hunting and basketball skills iirc. Maybe some kind of travel hacker community: "I spent two months learning to cook pasta in Italy" or similar, but idk.

People don't feel velocity, only acceleration, starting from a point of wealth the children might get bored or just party all the time (see "Born Rich" documentary). I think its a great question: how to raise children from money, but not spoil them?

You beat me to it.

Hit the gym, its important for mental clarity/stress relief and its too easy to gain the freshman 15. Learn to cook one crowd-pleaser meal, like chili. If I were to do it again I'd try to live with some like-minded people instead of getting a solo apartment asap.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo[1] is the coolest, but not in your price range. Gerald Genta made like all the famous watches: AP Royal Oak, Patek Nautilus, Omega Constellation, Bulgari Octo, Cartier Pasha [2]. In terms of your price range, reddit has price-range guides [3]

neat. I'd like to see this for non-computer setups as well: artist studio, musician studio, workworkers garage, writers setup. Please drop a link if you know of one.

The State is hostile to privacy-coins. Its kind of astonishing that the State is not hostile to all crypto as it seeks to separate money from state. Back in the olden days, I thought bitcoin would go to zero because of how the Feds neutralized the Liberty Dollar, this flaw in my modelling probably cost me $100m :(

(Liberty Dollar founder was convicted of "making, possessing and selling his own coins" which were either silver coins or paper-notes backed by metal)

fwiw I think NFTs will be a big deal b/c they will unlock experiences. If we ever move to a Metaverse-type system, this will enable the creation of uncopyable digital experiences (can't just rip an mp3/mpeg)
