I have an entire system for this. It has four levels: reality, perception, choice and action. The most relevant part here is action, which has three properties and corresponding tactics. 1. Effort: make it easy, increase the ability to act,

Things did get better globally, even if marginally for most, but at what price. If I take out a loan to live it up for a year, but then have no way of paying it back, because I haven't invested the money into anything substantial did t

These self-improvement charlatans keep repeating these tired old mantras about how hard work is the solution to everything. Billions of people toil their asses off, literally off just to barely afford a damn roof over their head. Being able

By today's standards Watergate would be barely a footnote, let alone a scandal, but in the 70's this is all it took for Nixon to resign. Just this month an American president was caught stealing TS/SCI designated documents, a

The Doom community is very active, plenty of ports, maps and mods are being made. It's an art medium at this point, it won't ever go away completely, just like oil paintings are still a thing. https://www.doomworld.com&

Humans no longer seeing themselves as the pawns of nature is nothing to be proud of. We still depend on nature, nothing have changed, only this dependence is now obfuscated. There is a buffer between us and nature, which makes us utterly bl

People living such lives would start dying more frequently between 25 and 35. People in their twenties think they are invincible, so they roll the dice too many times, which starts taking it's toll. People in their thirties tend to set

I indeed forgot about those, but to be fair the VR market is a niche. VR doesn't have a broad appeal. AR might make it, but Apple has a big advantage there.

Meta is not a hardware company. They make software for iOS, macOS, Safari (Apple), Android, Chrome (Google) and Windows (Microsoft). I bet you also didn't know that Apple uses Samsung parts in their devices, or that Ukraine is transpor

Hardly, and we should start concentrating on adaptation. Geoengineering is too risky for now, but we should work on it either way, because one of the long-term risk is microbial blooms capable of destroying the atmosphere. The shit will kee

Exactly. With a proper lexical order you can search efficiently. A composite index that starts with a month would be useful for finding entries with the given month, but usually we want to find entries recursively, starting with a year, the

The Western name order is what's a bit awkward to me. I don't like starting my name with my given name when it's the other way around officially. In a catalog of names you wouldn't start with the given name either. The m

Free speech absolutism is not practical. Platforms like HN, Twitter, Facebook or Reddit would be quite hostile, it's like letting people out in the streets doing whatever they want. That's not practical. The irony is that mainstre

Who said anything about not having a due process. Of course we need a constitution, and need laws, but they are all worthless if you don't have a police and a military people can rely on. This is so obvious.

No definition is perfect, but there are objectively better and worst definitions. The German constitution called Basic Law is among the best definitions. It seeks to preserve human dignity and provide a decent set of rights, freedoms and eq

Western democracies don't embrace absolute freedom, nor should they. Intolerating intolerance, violently if we must is the only way for tolerance to exist. The only problem is that you need a value system geared toward long-term sustai

At least where I live AMD notebooks are a much better deal because they always have either more storage, more RAM, a better dedicated GPU, or a better display for the same price. While everyone is still looking for an Intel Core i5, i7 or i

Those resources (both equipment and guidance) must come from somewhere, and unfortunately usually they don't come from the school. Schools tend to treat science fairs as an extracurricular afterthought. In Robert's case there are

The most expensive iPhone variant (Pro Max) has the best camera, but the bulk of the social value is having a contemporary iPhone, which is an iPhone with a notch, X and newer. Social value hinges on obvious differences. Cameras are used fo

We don't buy the next iPhone because it has a better camera, but because it makes us feel not being left behind. I routinely see people who can't afford one splurging on the newest iPhone and AirPods. People even wear fake AirPods

If I write a Python script that cuts together a bunch of pictures and the output makes you laught the script hardly deserves all the credit. It's us humans that create meaning.

Machine learning just glues together existing things, which is how art is created. As amusing these pictures are, it's us humans who bring meaning to them, both when producing what these algorithms use as input and when consuming their

This is always the case when these young and wealthy prodigies are being covered by the media. They always invent a toy that the industry already tried or keep trying to make practical. Practical as in not just performance, but cost too.

Worst drought yet. But seriously where I live everything is dead. We are left with two seasons, winter and autumn, both hot and dry. Our farmers are not big on innovation, and the government keeps making them whole, so they can keep running
