It could be a Marxist dog-whistle, though their literature would suggest that is unlikely, as you'd expect a few nods towards inequality. It's also not technology that's suspect. It's the choice of the word "accel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism Though it has left-wing and right-wing variants, accelerationism argues that one should double down on capitalisim in order to destroy it.

Fascinating. You have to wonder if they are cognizant of the associations of the term "accelrationism" with the extremes of the political spectrum and signalling a dog-whistle for one or the other, or if they just think it sounds

Fascinating. Really surprised to see they have it as "reconsider travel". Reading the explanation it makes some amount of sense. I can't say that the issues they state don't happen, it's just they are so rare I neve

I'd be happy to consider it. There are a number of good technical and non-technical advantages: * Strong, mature eco-system * VM-based so we can easily change OS and/or other dev-ops related params. * Large hiring pool with lots o

Can you elaborate more? I honestly can't think of a time I have been unable to do what I want in Java without frameworks, but I've obviously not tried to do everything.

Anecdata, but I've never been able to switch to using a computer for note taking because I just get no long-term memory retrieval. Typing notes seem to be like never having learnt the thing. The search doesn't help because I don&#

This is a real shame. It was much better than eBay was if you were into obscure/esotric stuff with low press counts. I don't collect as much as I used to because I spend less time listening to music that I used to, but I got a lot

Desire and willpower are actually quite weak tools to affect behaviour. I definitely fall into the camp of people who find it more effective to alter my environment to introduce friction against behaviours I want to reduce, and reduce barri

Personally, as someone who has read (and often rereads) the Tao in the original Chinese (with a lot of assistance and references!). I actually really like Hogan's translation. I don't think it holds as the only translation you nee

I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the anxiety increasing side-effects on stimulants made me into a gibbering wreck. My extreme reaction was part of what got me the OCD diagnosis as I was forced to come clean about some of the th

Yeah, I relate and got an ADHD (inattentive) diagnosis some years ago, though wasn't able to take meds. This kind of really wired manic phase descends on me sometimes and it's usually quite brief (two weeks) but I have come to res

Sounds like the primary worry is having their bike or other gear stolen, which is reasonable I think. If you can't earn without those things, then you won't want to risk them. The solution seems to be either to get customers to co

Two questions out of curiosity: * Do you also reject Church's more formal proof? * Do you more generally reject the rule of the excluded middle and would you generally think of yourself as a Constructivist?

Always love hearing other people enjoying Remains of the Day. I never would have picked it up in the first place if I knew that it was "about" a butler reflecting on their career. But it has ended up being one of my favourite book

It's interesting that it is the widely believed theory in China, or at least it was often stated to me as fact when I lived there. Seems to stem from the discovery of the Peking Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P
