There can be multiple reasons for the same outcome in a complex system. Prevalence of social awkwardness at certain developmental stages due to variances in individual immutable developmental schedules should remain stable over short time frames. Unless you think the researchers/teachers are incompetent enough to have not accounted for the baseline levels of social awkwardness, then the fact that some people are awkward because genetics or whatever is an irrelevant point to make.

Ah, you've encountered a non-logarithmically-scaled volume control in the wild. All too common I'm afraid. https://dcordero.me/posts/logarithmic_volume_control.html

Are there any open source tools/projects worth contributing to that don't need specialized infrastructure, proprietary data, or a PhD in the field to understand?

Officially it's Google Chrome, but for practical purposes any Chromium-based browser seems to work fine, e.g. Brave, Edge.

Adobe already has a big AI research team and Shasta is already incorporating AI features. Check out http://shasta.adobe.com/enhance

You can use it right now if you make a free account: http://shasta.adobe.com/miccheck

Not mobile friendly yet though.

They only require a free account, no subscription necessary.

Shasta dev here. We're releasing an update soon to the enhance feature that does exactly this!

Anything with Dr. Eric Lander from MIT (e.g. https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-biology-the-secre...). Hands down the best lecturer I've ever encountered.

How is it that nobody seems to know that every major editor has either vim mode or a vim plugin. I love vim, but I almost never use it directly. I usually use JetBrains IDE with vim plugin. Best of both worlds.

What IDE are you using? Almost all of them have either vim mode or a vim plugin. I love vim, but I almost never use it directly. I usually use JetBrains IDE with vim plugin. Best of both worlds.

No?

Hi Daniel, we're already in the comments section :) Hope you're doing well!

Howdy, I used to run engineering at TradeIt. Just curious if any of y'all ever had any interactions with us back in the day, and if any of the brokerages mentioned us (I'm guessing they will either have really nice or really not nice opinions if they remember us, depending on the nature of our integration with them ). We had so many partners on both the broker and developer side, would be fun to know who picked up the torch after we dropped it. Feel free to DM if you ever want to chat about it.

Lol, we had literally this exact startup: TradeIt (https://web.archive.org/web/20200817053226/https://www.trade...). Launched about 7 years ago, had official OAuth integrations with most major brokers, an API, and native mobile SDKs that had customizable UI for portfolio/order management/trading/market data. We had some really big customers like Yahoo Finance. Sold to another company about 3 years ago. The buyers had no idea what they were buying and let it rot and eventually shut it all down. Fun times. If we could have held on until WSB went viral a few years back I think we could have been very big. Oh well. Maybe you guys can succeed where we left off. Good luck!

How do you feel about teaching critical race theory in public schools?

Don't feed the trolls. These are the same folks screeching about supposed critical race theory in elementary schools.

The only reason you don't consider all the other safety mandates you comply with on a daily basis to mUh FaScIsM is because the time for politicizing them to your ends has passed. I guess surgeons washing hands, smokers barred from restaurants, drunks barred from driving, schools and military requiring all kinds of vaccines, seatbelts, smoke detectors, two points of egress, ADA ramps, drivers licenses, commercial kitchen food handling procedures, etc. are all fine because the administrations that enacted them are long gone.

I have bad news for toddlers who want to smoke in restaurants...

1) Sterilizing immunity meaningless and unscientific: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/steriliz...

2) Sterilizing immunity is a pointless distraction. Seatbelts don't provide 100% protection in a car crash, surgeons washing their hands doesn't prevent 100% of infection, and having smoke alarms and two points of egress in a bedroom will not 100% save your life during a disaster. In fact, I can't even think of a mandated public safety feature that is 100% effective.

Meh. I would bet that has way more to do with the cost of travelling to Boston for the average person around the world and the growth in prestige of that particular event.

Also, athleisure is "active" in the literal sense, but is it contributing anything back to society? I guess one could argue it collectively reduces the cost of our growing passiveness. But I would argue, as someone who loves exercising, that exercise is just a video game that makes you feel progressively better the longer you play it instead of worse. It doesn't serve a broader purpose beyond a certain point of basic health, unless you are so good that other people derive satisfaction from your accomplishments (pro athlete) or you are doing it to form social connections (golf, intramural sports leagues, etc.) or like break a world record or something.

Because at the time Russell wrote that (1932), the Suburbs didn't exist yet. If you didn't live in the city, you were agrarian; think sharecroppers living with dirt floors (the dust bowl/Grapes of Wrath were the 1930's). Most "modern" leisure activities were only enjoyed by urbanites.

Yes, OR instead of rich self-righteous sociopaths, you could let the government help out (gasp, grimace, faint, yes, I know right?) and then instead of "follies" you end up with great public works like our National Park system [1] or electricity for entire regions of the country [2] (regions that now hate the Federal govt more than anyone).

The digging holes thing was a facetious example in a textbook where he said burying cash in old mines would theoretically stimulate the economy. He didn't mean that the government should literally do that and the government never did. It was intended to provoke thinking about how mandating jobs during times of extraordinarily high unemployment can stimulate a depressed economy. People who hate the government on principle more than they like facts then purposefully conflate that pedagogical example with real government initiatives of the time like the CCC (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps) which was one of the most celebrated government programs of all time that built and repaired tons of important civic infrastructure mainly in our national park system, which became arguably the greatest on earth, saved thousands from poverty and involuntary idleness, helped stimulate the depressed economy, and gave desparate, disenfranchised young men a sense of patriotic purpose.

But this just becomes "zomg govt so dumb pays ppl to dig holes lol, communism fail".

I believe the word you are looking for is _Abrahamic_.

Only 3% of the US is visually impaired, and often poorer than average due to disability, so for the vast majority of individual businesses, ignoring them would be less than a rounding error in revenue, and therefore warrant no consideration of accessibility. But the point of a society is to decide collectively upon certain moral imperatives that are deemed so fundamental to our collective identity as to take precedence over Randian self-interest, righteous indignation about "muh freedumb" and "don't tread on me" notwithstanding. One of those moral imperatives in the US is the protection of the rights of vulnerable minority classes so that we don't become a caste-based society where the circumstances of your birth (or unfortunate mishap) can indelibly decide your fate by limiting your access to society. This is actually MORE meritocratic than the alternative, and so I think, upon careful consideration, you may find that it dovetails nicely with even extreme Libertarianism.
