It may be unusual or surprising even but I don't think it matters who has popular support in Russia - Russians have lost the minimum agency they had in the mid 90s. There was a failed attempt to regain it in 2011 but it was crushed.

Well, not if you worked on a MacBook using an ungrounded socket in Europe, for example. Forearms are not that strongly insulated

Google says we can have 1-4 days of warning for this kind of thing. Is there any approach to circuit breaking that can help appliances against such an event?

I'd pay Youtube if they would stop tracking me in return, but I simply cannot believe it will happen at any point

at this point, older of two evils is a factor as well

.. and what upsets me the most about this and similar systems is that such status quo is not reformable without a huge crisis or a catastrophe. This may be naive, but I feel like humanity could experiment more with some artificial way of breaking and reforming "working" systems with minimum harm.

For anyone interested, there's an interesting fact that adenosine build-up due to sleep deprivation improves depression briefly, in many cases [1]. It's not a treatment, obviously, personally I have used it as an immediate relief technique.

Of course they are necessary. They have to be used responsibly and not as a job perk, that's my point. Light signals are usually enough.

I also live in 1.5 mil city and I haven't got used to how many there are after moving here almost a decade ago.

Also, sirens are noisy and nobody even talks about regulating them adequately

>given all the videos online of kids beating up teachers and getting away with it

I don't think I heard of a single such story in my life. Is it a thing?

Interesting question, I'd say both. The harder it is to stay in the middle class (by arbitrary standard of living) or "ascend" by incorporating in Ireland, the more hesitant people are regarding children. F.e. if middle class population % is big (like in Czechia or Sweden), there is higher fertility.

>the richer you are, the fewer children you have

Not entirely true, there is a reverse-parabolic correlation [1] After certain income level, number of children per family increases.

Middle class is shooting itself in the foot economically by having children, that's why there's such correlation.

"no-ego ego" strikes again

GPT explains things in a personalised way, it's in no way in the same league as manuals. It's each user's native language.

I have a lot of technical discussions and arguments and usually do the following:

1. State the disagreement clearly and politely

2. Show the willingness to engage in as-objective-as-possible argument (in a smaller group, if feasible)

3. Always remember that ideas are produced by personalities, with all the background going with it. F.e. if I feel strongly against something but cannot effortlessly explain why, disentanglement work is on my side (in between p.1 and p.2 above).

Somehow it seems to me Twitter will just die and nothing will “overtake” it. People might randomly disperse to multiple new places, as they did from Google+, for example. Twitter had a good decade, little point now to try to reproduce the experience.

Doesn't matter how good it will be (same as Chrome), I am never touching it

Since we are talking about education, there is no such thing as "third world", for 32 years at least.

on the flip side (if you're not), the talk is much more interesting and memorable

Imagine summiting the highest mountain, while being physically carried, as being socially acceptable and widespread. is it to a benefit or to a harm for the idea of summiting? Corruption is unnecessary dimensions added to the thing, which destroy and devalue its essence.

Using sherpas is cheating yourself out of reality. Normalising using sherpas is a display of deep corruption.

Well, I change laptops every ~four years at work, and the problem goes away by itself

Explains some things about Hungary though

With HN, medium is the message as well

Glassdoor is one good candidate for "disruption". Anyone knows a competing alternative for a global workplace review website?

I think they also had problems before with the opposite issue. Once OpenAI introduced paid subscription, they didn't implement "back to basic" account conversion after the billing expiration, I think I used it for more than two months instead of a single one that I paid for. Felt really startup-y

Even without US specifics, prison systems seem to not have adapted to the declined birth rate. Maybe the luxury of measuring the system by recidivism rate is more affordable for societies now.

When a person's impact is x100, it takes x99 less villain-ness to be a bigger villain

Well, that's about to change for the midterm perspective, but that's also not good news for everyone, if you know what I mean
