How do I explain what my prefered "level of abstraction" is and why it is superior to all the others? How can I be convincing with a fuzzy and subjective term "visual noise"? Etc.
A strong argument should not only, as it is customary in modern times, to look at the advantages and the interest of the individual, but also consider the benefit of the commons, in this case the the country that (hopefully) designed their digital nomad program to the benefit of its population. It is their responsibility to attract and reject people accordingly.
If you can argue well, an appeal to a "we" and to a specific use of language in an online forum won't be necessary.
Without a higher public awareness of data security, severe punishment for any breaches and failures to keep data safe, and a software ecosystem that prioritizes security much higher I feel you are right expecting the worst.
Yes, inflation matters a lot, but the psychological part is significant as well (and is conveniently overlooked in basic classical undergrad economics).
A similar thing happened when the Euro was introduced in Europe in 2002: The act of changing the price tags, the confusion of consumers when showing different numbers was an opportunity to hike prices.
I do think that Git is very well established, and it would probably take a major player, maybe Azure or AWS with a cloud-based IDE to change paradigms.
If this rejects actions and limits possibilities that Git provides, so be it.
Insert rant here about bloat, deteriorationg user experiences, HN possibly turning into another little social network, the cognitive load of tending to notifications, of making the little numbers on top of inbox-icons go away
The original intent was to offer a well-rounded education that includes physical activity. Healthy body healthy mind. Nerds who are also in shape. This concept is lost by creating a pro athlete caste within a school, students more respected for their success on the field than in the classroom. Maybe sports is truly subsidizing academics, but then again if 280 Million are spent on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQIGwxsVv1E, is there enough institutional focus on academics?
Ok correct me if I'm ignorant on this topic but give me more than that oneliner that I've read a couple times before.
- if there are more drugs legalized and therefore out and about, people can use and abuse more different drugs and compound their negative effects (i.e. smoking and drinking often goes together). People might drink alcohol as usual, try mushrooms at a party and also take steroids (yellow on the chart) for muscles.
- some drugs might have random effects and can be hard to dose (magic mushrooms?); single may have permanent or long term effects; alcohol is 'safer' in the sense that the effects are linear.
What is your main intention here, minimize potential harm from drugs overall, or responsibly legalize a drug that you find very beneficial and intend to use?
I do think that the Eastern way of avoiding direct confrontation is a major cultural difference to the West, and is reflected in both Go and geopolitics.
Going back to the article, any Strategist should probably study a wide range of games to maybe gain a small improvement in strategic thinking.
- Chess, a popular game in Russia and a game of gambits and bloody material exchange for a pawn: the Ukraine war
- Go, a popular game in China and a game of long term development and area control: China building artificial islands, investing heavily in Africa, and avoiding direct confrontation in Taiwan
A certain characteristic of chess is the need to study and memorize openings and lines, which has no parallel in real life. Overall, if there was a strong correlation between chess and other areas of life, chess grandmasters would be prominently successful in top military and business leadership positions.
Minimal, aesthetic and functional things remain few and far between; the old iPod was Bauhaus, but most other things? Not so much.
- assuming you found an egregious issue, do you also double down on maintaining that the tool is 'deliberately designed to make negative uses easy'? How so?
- I disagree with the 'safety catches' metaphor and would offer the 'hammer' metaphor instead.
- Actually, with the rapid development in this field I expect that anyone will be able to locally prompt for any content, even movies, soon, limited only by people's taste and imagination; with this realization I don't think I will follow up on this discussion that will surely be outdated in a minute.
Only when published, and when put into context of the entire work, could a creation deemed harmful. A tool should not, for example, prevent you from making a bunch of images with ominous poses, from which you select one to use with an article that discusses the history of ominous poses.
It's about the recurring payments, the lock-in, and ultimately literally having the knowledge and business processes of the world economy on their own computers. If this is true, the reason why it is important to run data and scripts locally should be clear, and so is the motivation of your PMs to actively combat any such things.
But if you get a summary in your inbox and show it to your PMs let us know how that goes down.
- friends and people you've met who fell off the radar, some came back and now speak negatively about their past drug use
- plenty of homeless drug users in big city streets, clearly in a bad state of mind
- dead celebrities, their path documented by the media
So I have a hard time understanding how these articles downplay the risks and downsides, why they even pop up on HN and are so well received. On Fentanyl the straw man is "carpet bombing Mexico", the only alternative cheaper and more dangerous versions of this drug? That sounds a little tone-deaf.
It's one thing if you are well-established in life and experiment with a mushrooms from a trusted source under expert guidance - may you become a better fin-de-siècle poet. But opening the floodgates to the general public even more? Can't be good.
