What is your config?

(Sincere question, not a rhetorical one) I think it would be helpful if you explained how distillation works (as relevant to the conversations threads here) because I agree that th…

This seems like an important post. It looks like these letters are occasionally used to as a tactic, and i can see how such a tactic can really scare employees in a country where l…

Super useful succinct crystallization!

Your statement is technically correct (and mirrors my initial feelings) but the comment below that notes that we accept many other abstractions seems more “meaningful” in the large…

The current administration's actions are for sure signaling a distinct lack of predictability or stability. The U.S. is either harming itself erratically, or systematically enforci…

If you re-read my comment, I am not saying that. It seems to be observably true that expressing opinions critical of the administration, even about one's own business, leads to fur…

Unfortunately saying it in the press is going to make it even harder for them in the current environment. I know this administration gets non-trivial support from the valley, but w…

Buying state owned enterprises and running them more efficiently to double their valuation (or more) has been a reliably profitable business in many countries. This suggests to me …

Option-shift-hyphen Thanks for sticking up for my humanity ;)

My favorite part of the paper is that the “attack” isn’t just exploiting a bug — it’s exploiting how different components interpret the same input. Modifying an executable as it’s …

Super cool! We live in the future my friends :)

This is god's* work OP! Thank you! * Or gods' work if you are polytheistic, or $god's work with "god" as a variable for all other belief systems on the Unix shell ;)

I have just recently discovered Watts, but I think he may have agreed. “Watts left formal Zen training in New York because the method of the teacher did not suit him. He was not or…

Causality, in all my experience of human relationships in real life, in books, even in movies, is rarely single factor, and often goes in both directions :) A marriage certificate …

Where we probably agree: I would agree that it is the commitment that matters. Where we may agree: Social norms really do impact human behavior. Marriage is a social norm supportin…

Like Matt, I am a supporter of the state providing a solid safety net on basic needs (food, health care, self-improvement, safety) to ALL its and pay for it by taxing the well-off …

I understand his critique of the stats, but I wonder if Mr. Bruenig disagrees with the author’s points of view. In particular I wonder what he thinks would be best for his own kids…

Working hard to ensure you don’t repeat the mistakes of your parents already makes you a good parent - one who cares and strives. I worry too, especially about the weaknesses I sha…

makes sense. thanks.

Thanks. While steep, I’ll happily pay for the procedure if the risks are minimal and the impact on his quality of life is likely to be meaningfully positive.

Sincere question: my relatively non-aggressive-at-sales vet, whose office has beocome a bit more aggressive recently, said this month that my nearly 12 year old dog has had a tooth…
