I know that but some might argue if the regular state is beyond the reach of our legal system and ordinary checks and balances than makes it “deep” in that it is secret rather than public.

Some may point to this as evidence of the deep state, but there could be some innocuous explanation that’s not being reported.

Yes, the issue is free speech. That right doesn’t give you the right to commit crimes like fraud. Nobody who self describes or is described as a free speech absolutist believes in decriminalizing fraud, sedition, perjury, etc. It means,

Flonase and air filters rather than cpap is the answer for many it seems. I wish the sleep medicine doctors and apnea specialists were more knowledgeable about that.

No, it’s a matter of supporting free speech that doesn’t violate existing laws.

It’s a legal decision. The case they decided on was not, “should free speech absolutism be protected by law?” The case was about what sort of speech is a type of criminal conduct. A scammer is breaking the law if he lies to you in committin

Espresso requires a multiple of that— 9 bars minimum if I recall correctly.

I take slight issue with a few things here: 1) grind settings will change for different coffees, roasts and ages (time since roast), 2) liking strong coffee and light roasts is a contradiction, the author likes dark coffee and that’s ok, 3

Inflation can be measured with and without wages. That’s one of the first things to know about inflation. Inflation with inflated wages is arguably a bigger concern. I didn’t read the article but the headline is good news for Australia.

The war would be over if it weren’t for American funding. You think Ukraine will win? Ukraine is nothing except what American war hawks pay it to be, a surrogate army fighting a war funded by American dollars, using American weapons, fighti

Ukrainians are dying in a war that any educated person knows they are likely to lose. The more money we send them, the more Ukrainians will die. The best solution is a peaceful solution. If you are so righteous in your concern for the pligh

I think this is commendable. Of course talk is cheap, but silence can be deadly. I hope that the usual people who live on a steady information diet of MSNBC, CNN and FOX news see this statement and hold western leadership accountable for ma

Good point. React is extremely popular. I give them points for that. But when I compare react against say the many technologies that have come from google, I’m still pretty underwhelmed.

Meta is lame company that’s never had a good product or an original idea. They stole the idea of Friendster/MySpace and used anticompetitive tactics to monopolize. Instagram is sort of cool, but that was just an acquisition. They are t

Yes. That’s definitely not a childish idea that seems to be based on the idea that you can will things into being simply by stamping your feet and holding your breath until the adults break down and give you ice cream.

If they sell their home and leave. Being forced out of your community is a rather perverse definition of “getting rich.” A wealthy refugee is a refugee nonetheless. That’s what getting rich means in this context— replacement.

As someone who years ago decided to never use Facebook, I can confirm that abstaining from social media is socially damaging. It’s a bit like the automobile. You can’t opt out of the technological society. I suppose the silver lining is tha

I use apple products despite their marketing, certainly not because of it. They have better products and support, and reasonable lower cost devices like se phones and Mac minis. Their appeal for some may be the marketing, but it’s certainly

Most people who have a psychotic episode have never had a prior psychotic episode. Meditation being marketed as a solution to emotional (psychological) issues is precisely the point I’m trying to make. This is the same problem with detectin

There is a spectrum, on one end well adapted, psychologically advantaged individuals, and at the other end people who are more prone to suffering or various difficulties. I cited ray dalio as one of many examples of same, wise stable people

My intent was to single out a-spiritual meditation. Meditation that occurs as part of an established program of spiritual practice, that goes along with other aspects of religion within a centuries old framework is obviously the opposite of

I’m inclined to think this stuff is more correlation than causation. Meditating is a weird thing to do. Outside of eastern religious practice at least. You get some some semi-normal people who do it, ray dalio comes to mind, but mostly it a

A lot of great comments here about the difficulty recognizing one’s own biases. A related thing I like to think about is the jungian concept of the shadow; if we can see it, it’s not the shadow. I do think we can look for evidence that we a

Wow, you just invented open source software.

That’s probably the reason. Most Mac users stick to Macs exclusively, whereas Linux and windows users are more likely to use both windows and *nix so having a single cross platform editor, besides vim/emacs, is useful.

Oakland is a pretty slow boil “emergency” if ever there was. I can’t think of a time in the past 30 years that “emergency” wouldn’t be an apt descriptor of the place. The PD have been under federal oversight for more than two decades now. I

I think it can depend on job duties and home environment. If you’re a manager and have a family or live with a SO, home is probably less productive. If you’re one of us who write code or build things, and you live alone, it’s almost 2X mini
