Uhm I... I just think it's a bit like quicksand. In a few years, things will have shifted somewhere else. A percentage of our time should be on staying current, anyone have a good strategy?

Well since the claims seem to have come out of left field, we could ask, "are there holes in law or oversight?" I'm not looking at a fishing expedition, rather if we have heard for instance that people are becoming injured building ships. Then maybe we can look ahead to prevent the possibility. No specific place was mentioned in that instance.

I mean looking ahead, rather than looking backward.

I don't know, I was thinking maybe because Houston is a large trade/energy hub. But maybe that is also too simple. Probably a lot of factors

Diversity may be a piece of the puzzle, but there are other diverse places, so possibly more is contributing?

I think we don't know for sure, but can we still find value? Does this open the door for questions to be asked? Maybe the right questions are more valuable than answers?

Thanks sir :)

My sites said all okay, I guess, what is this looking for exactly?

For me it is him eliminating the worm that is in drinking water. Uhm but I'm not sure of all of his investments and I was stuck behind the paywall.

I hope his nuclear plans work.

"All they had to do was provide proof that McDonalds sells Big Macs."

I still think that seems odd. Seems the judge can say "I need proof these are sold" and force them to show weekly sales receipts?

I guess I would need to see the decision. I think a "Big Mac" is a fairly known thing. There even is a Big Mac inflation index, because of how uniform they are.

Edit: I guess it is a purchasing power parity index.

I can see the US perspective with concerns after 2001. It is hard to have to be scritinized, but it is a new reality.

Nothing wrong if you are a foreigner avoiding it. I don't think the anti US crowd is productive here, because they still will have to keep the measures in place.

That's a cool link. I will spend the next hour working through it. Thanks.

Fred Brooks had an essay, There is No Silver Bullet.

Also I think there was an extra tax for other abrahamic, and if you married into you had to convert.

I think I've noticed watching blunders in pro-chess tournies, that as a scrub chess player I see moves like: Develop, get rook to open file, don't advance pawns protecting the king, knight on rim is dim.

The pro may calculate a huge line that requires breaking a simple rule, and in the end that may come back to bite them. Where me, all I see is "hey don't leave the knight on the edge like that."

I think it was better, but maybe less addicting. Quirky blogs, when you wanted to know something very often you were linked to a professor's page, more text, less interaction. Though there still were forums, there was less of the comment board stuff everywhere. Less emphasis on social. Also there was some really bad design. HTML was trying to also style things and people would get really cute with colors and animation effects. It was pretty tacky. I guess this is after the time when it was academic, but before Facebook.

Interesting video, It's used by confidence men. The term I think is a shill. Posing as a satisfied customer.

He's like Cassandra, fore-telling, but no one is listening. Hard to fight against a mountain.

I suppose Google and the rest would be the trojan horse?

Good advice

So Poland should just accept spies or beware China's wrath?

Im 1800 classical on lichess but bullet I'm like 1300, so for me bullet is real strength. It's obvious I'm not great at chess

Great insight. and thanks for taking the time to clear things

I was likely butchering the Godel incompleteness theorem.

No I did not say that you shouldn't try, but that doing what they do, don't expect that you will be them. It is cargo culting success

I think the reply below, it helps us prioritize our time and set good goals. Maybe look at our motivations, are they outside our control or inside our control? Trying to be honest is not giving up and lying down.

Also agree, failure is complex and society has been known to sweep people under the rug.

We have this tendency to look at successful people and think we can imitate them and have their success. I see Bill Gates is always giving a list of his favorite books of the year. Sorry Bill, if I read your books, I won't be a billionaire. Well Jackie Chan as great, talented, funny as he is. No matter what, I will never be him. Survivor bias and luck play a large role beyond what hard work and pain alone do.

I guess in math they found it just gets more complex, as you go deeper? eventually you need new tools, upon new tools? Is this like philosophy? you just find you need more tools? I'm no expert. And that's why I'm putting question marks around.

Well it's odd because a sentence later it is being emphasized that the water must be 190 not 189 or 191. Maybe the kettle was set to 220 as some strange setting not relating to the actual temperature of the water? Or maybe being NBA players they have a moon kettle.

Dellavedova of the Cavaliers, drank tons of coffee before games during the finals series against the Warriors when Kyrie was out. He played above his perceived ability, though the Cavaliers ultimately lost.

Good connection! I looked it up, and it's interesting.

Sobriety startup, that's a great idea! Fixing problems, and using the fast speed of startup culture. I'm not sure if they can fix it, but it seems like unique idea.
