The man of action serenely regards ruin as the most likely possible outcome, mitigates it where he can, and leaps anyway.

It is actually. And mental prisons are real, I was trapped in one for many years. I'll stipulate that i have to tweak the way I say things as it's not coming across the right way.

Dang, look at the context. I was simply repeating his self-assessment back at him, and trying to flip it with a positive message that one's circumstances of birth do not define one's potential - unless you let it (mental prison).

Around the time I signed up for this site, I thought the same as you. 10 years and a couple of successful startups later - perspectives change. I don't know if I'd actually unironically call myself "elite" but we need s

Wow. This really spoke to me. This is a key part of what it means to be a responsible elite. You use your privilege and your personal judgment to explore and solve problems that no one else can.

You join those dots like the arrival of "Avatarism" is something obvious and inevitable, but reading that blog post doesn't give me that idea at all. Instead, it makes me think the author is way, way too deep into a too-long

Isn't that graph hopelessly tainted by eg. the dominance of WordPress? I mean, yes that's PHP, but just because 80% of sites are running it doesn't mean 80% of development is in PHP. Far from it.

Some decent responses, all of which may be true, but something not mentioned is that it's simply easier to inspect & maintain engines that hang down.

No, you are not. If I am not vaccinated I am far more likely to carry the virus to you, and your vaccine, while good, is not 100% protection. So you have a significant decrease in your risk by forcing me to be vaccinated.

I don't understand this attitude. Yes vaccines aren't 100% perfct but they are a whole lot better than nothing. Same as masks. It's not "pointless" at all, it's a government taking totally reasonable measures t

Easy. If it's a third party service like an exchange or other custody provider, get a court order, done. If it's on a personal wallet (very rare) then compel them to hand it over right now or go to prison until you do. No rubber h

You are correct. I have had the "pleasure" of going through the negotiation process before. There are even companies that specialise in it, and have DBs on who is a "trusted" threat actor (the industry term) who will act

Summary: East asians are partially adapted against alcohol because they invented it first and alcohol reduces fitness. No evidence presented but it sounds cute. Presumably they are also adapted against milk because of reasons.

One I've learned from grim experience is that most of the time, 1 person with a strong vision and the willingness to fight for it is better than 10 or more people just kinda doing their own thing in their own sandbox. Sure, the former
