Yeah, I really think comparing common street crime with high financial crime is Apples and Oranges. Common criminals don’t have much to lose, yes going to prison sucks, but it means less when you live in low income housing with other people, can’t afford basic shit and/or are in significant mental distress. On the other hand Financial criminals usually have a LOT to lose, and to get into the position to commit those crimes they likely have a degree of rationality that’s less guaranteed than in street crime.

Frankly, I think we need a lot more of this kind of punishment to get more trust back into our high-trust society. More rich people need to go to prison for crimes against society, because honestly it feels more like Madoff and SBF were one offs rather than business as usual.

Is this the study you were referring to?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7898726/

> Effects of moderate sleep restriction during 8-week calorie restriction on lipoprotein particles and glucose metabolism

Because the conclusion starts with,

> In this study, 8 weeks of calorie restriction with and without sleep restriction of less than 90 minutes per day on 5 days with 2 days of ad libitum sleep per week, resulted in similar degrees of weight loss

Let me be clear that sleep deprivation doesn’t seem to be good for your circulating lipoprotien levels or insulin sensitivity based on that study, but they didn’t gain weight.

Why does it seem like there should be something better?

I mean it’s all but spelled out in this quote.

> "There are very big individual differences," he said, "Some people have absolutely none and some people have pretty close to 100 per cent

I don’t generally think in words at all. I predominantly exist in a state of "unsymbolized thinking” according to the terminology in the article. Even when I’m doing difficult things like reasoning about/problem solving with code. Almost everything I do happens “behind a curtain” im my subconscious.

I don’t think freedom of speech should be given to any collective. Individuals should enjoy it as an absolute right, but a corporation is a legal construct undeserving of such natural rights.

A similar example, people should be able to freely assemble, corporations should not be able to form cartels.

> I want to read a newspaper, I buy a copy. That's literally how it has worked hundreds of years

Ehh, no, not really. Based on your username, I’m your age, so in your lifetime newspapers and magazines used to be something that was commonly found in every cafe and waiting room. As a voracious reader growing up I remember this pretty vividly. Waiting rooms meant I got to read different magazines or read the Wall Street Journal! You could have a single newspaper subscription for a whole multi-generation household. You could also pretty easily find discarded or thrown out newspapers if you went to public places or even ask a stranger for a section they weren’t interested in. I got tons of back dated magazines as gifts, and loved reading them. There were options.

> Money is a good and transparent indicator of what's worth your time.

This is a very privileged thing to say.

From the examples section:

> making their reports feel psychologically safe

> ask how they thought their report felt after the tough convo

> bad answer = not sure, or saying things in a non-supportive / non-generous way

I wouldn’t feel “psychologically safe” with someone who expects me to read minds. How can you ever be sure about how others feel as a manager? I check in with my reports and their colleagues but I’m still never certain. Your reports don’t want to be fired and as such every interaction you have with them is flavored with coercion.

If I asked this question and they didn’t say something to the effect of I’m not sure, that would be an enormous red flag to me that this person doesn’t give others proper agency.

Fascinating, thanks.

I can maybe shed some light, however I’m not 100% positive. And you very well might know all this:

My read here is that “aircraft grade” alloys, probably like 2000 and 7000 series, are relatively harder to recycle. They are less used and more expensive, I cba to look up stats on raw production estimates, if they exist publicly.

This is separate from recycled Aluminum being treated as a separate product(green aluminum), with effort made to bring it to parity with traditional Aluminum.[1]

Again I don’t know for sure, but I suspect a lot of it comes down to Aluminum cans being the highest single use of Aluminum globally and being efficient to recycle and make with recycled aluminum.

[1] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S007964252...

I don’t know where you read that.

To quote wikipedia:

> Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium from the raw ore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_recycling

Which cites this article from The Economist: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2007/06/07/the-price-of-vi...

Why does it sound like addiction and not just enjoying something?

I don’t get this sentiment.

Both of those studies on foods consider only people who already have Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. One of them is about specifically sugary beverages, not whole fruit. Neither show “Sattvic food is not good for your health”.

My experience is that if you are on that side of things no one is gonna be honest with you. To them you are just someone to fool.

You are an organic strawberry farmer?

Yoga has many styles. The one I am familiar with, Ashtanga Vinyasa, isn't very static at all.

> Who has time for that?

Is this linkedin? Who doesnt have time for that? We are talking <10 hours.

> At least Microsoft can't ever ban you from selling Windows apps since you're not forced to use their store to sell to Windows users

Ha. Oh no, virtually complete piracy protection, whatever will developers do.

>I'm baffled how people can write this out with a straight face.

I would 100% buy an iPhone with no appstore, it would still be better as a smartphone than my Samsung with F-Droid and Google Play Store.

> "these warnings would dissuade 50 percent of users from proceeding with their purchase."

How is user activity/behavior about developers?

> This is not a real issue on Android

What!? Yes it is. I've seen it first hand on numerous kids phones, that "have a bad battery" or "stopped working".

Turns out downloading unlimited arbitrary binaries from in-app/in-youtube advertisements leads to a functionally bricked phone. I assume adults are too embarrassed, don't want to hand their phone over to someone and just buy a new one.

I can guarantee you they aren't going to mention code audits.

It's not really consent if you are being coerced by your employer.

It only has a very specific meaning in software. To consumers Apple's App store is trusted.

This isn't about developers, it's about Apple customers. to them iPhone = Apple, not developers

But not paying with Apple is a risk. Handing out your payment info to any random website isn't the same risk profile as paying with my Apple account. The popups are fair given that this is a new interaction for users. As someone who has for over a decade given/recommended Mac/iPhones to tech illiterate people, I would be appalled if they didn't do this.

Developers forget that users also have a relationship with Apple.

I would rather have my home than a bag of cash. I’m not even old, but I did grow up here and it has immense sentimental value to me. My grandma lived in her house for over 65 years, and died in it. I doubt she would have moved for anything short of multigenerational wealth.

I mean I think the sales pitch in this case is literally, “Burn an enormous pile of (oil) money, to gain a large but smaller pile of (chip) money”

> weird and tough to use, presumably due to a fruitless bid to target the pros.

Have you tried the phone app? It’s fantastic, and easy to use. I assume the expectation is that if you are opening Garageband on a Mac these days, you “graduated” from the phone.

> fruitless bid to target the pros.

I personally know multiple musicians who have albums on streaming services that they made in Garageband.

It's pretty straight forward to me. "$CORPO_STOOGE does all the things that make you a great leader and talks in platitudes that seem genuine! That makes them a decent person!"

Nah. I have a quote that I think about often on this topic, from none other than Bojack Horseman[1]:

Bojack, "Well, do you think I'm a good person... deep down?"

Diane, "That's the thing, I don't think I believe in deep down. I kind of think that all you are is the things that you do"

$CORPO_STOOGE is just a sociopath who follow the suggestions of "Lean In" as a behavioral guide of motions to follow. That doesn't make them a good person, just maybe a more pleasant manipulator.

the proceeding part of that quote has, "(once these are much lighter and less intrusive)"

Definitely not going to run with the current product lmao.
