Yes! Make money!

So if I declare you to be an idiot nobody ever has to listen to anything you have to say in the future?

Aside from the obvious problems of how to determine “established oneself as an idiot”, what implications does this have for the concept of redemption?

What's your point?

I'm saying that SirensOfTitan's comment adds nothing that isn't already present in the linked video (and he freely admits that he didn't watch it) and therefore really serves no purpose (other than to boast, "I know things about this topic already _and_ I don't even need to watch the video".)

Your defense of SirensOfTitan's comment's supposed utility is to make your own tangential point which does nothing to argue that the original comment is valuable.

So I maintain: What was the point of SiresOfTitan's comment?

You make a lot of good points, but the conclusion is, depressingly, as always, that power and influence necessarily win out over truth every time.

There’s no reason to expect truth to prevail in an environment where it doesn’t have an adaptive advantage.

Why are you commenting if you didn’t take in the content of the link?

The little fact you drop here for some reason is right there in the video description.

I haven't looked into any automation options, but I doubt it. Seems like Working Copy takes a specified folder in the "Files" app and treats it as a git repo (in this case, the Obsidian/YourVaultHere folder). When you launch Working Copy you're basically sitting at a (very nice) git UI, so all the standard git workflows are present.

I'm used to using a variety of editing software and then manually pushing my notes repo, so the lack of automatic syncing doesn't bother me. In fact, I prefer it. I've been burned by auto-syncing before and it makes me nervous.

Confirming: Working Copy is _itself_ amazing, and solves the syncing-obsidian-to-github-on-ios problem.

I just found this: https://workingcopyapp.com/

Did you use some plugin that helped with the committing and pushing?

No, it's just a folder of markdown files that I keep in version control and access through a variety of software, including (usually) Obsidian.

So, bad news for me if I’m using GitHub?

Edit: looking in to https://workingcopyapp.com/ now. an iOS git client.

Is there a non-paywalled version somewhere?

That’s what THEY want you to think!

It had this quality seemingly out of the gate, not after a period of selection. that’s part of the problem.

aren’t the weapons a bit different? or do you think rural americans are stockpiling rocket launchers and AK47s?

We just need new disruptors.

A little tougher now that the current companies have the government on their side.

I set up a newsletters email folder with automatic filtering. When I feel like reading newsletters, I go there. Otherwise, I don’t see them. Sort of the same behavior loop of opening up my RSS feed (which, incidentally, is how I’m seeing this post).

I’d be interested in reading your hard-to-represent analysis. You can find various ways to contact me, including email, at vinneycavallo.com. Send it over!

Two (plus a space) for me. if you’re on iOS - and I think Android - if you hold the “123” modifier and then _slide_ to the “!” and release, it inputs the character and then switches the keyboard back to alpha. one touch.

What’s up with all the black flags and raised fists?

what about grinding?

this is a great summary: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/politics-industry/

It's interesting to consider how those primary candidates got there and to what extent it would be possible to change who shows up in that position.

Check out "Hate, Inc." by Matt Taibbi. He details the process by which party bosses essentially determine the primary field (and have done so for decades), and the media complex reinforces these choices using terms like "electable" or "wise choice" or "stubborn" or "off reservation".

Yes, this is only about the single off of the President (the Vice President choice is even less available to the people), but there is something to be said about the most visible and paid-attention-to office being the one that is categorically the least in the hands of the people. ...yet nobody seems to mention it.

There is a political duopoly in this country that has a democracy-murdering stranglehold and barely anyone is aware of it.

even if people cared a lot, you think they’d get presidential primary candidates that they want? or a vice president that they want? these things are faze choices.

Sort of an interesting detail on the safety standards. Even though these mostly impact/protect the eventual owner _only_, they are forced into the car design such that a prospective buyer’s choices (and prices) are constrained. Oddly enough, both these mandated price-increases and the inflation-hiding hedonic adjustments that benefit from them are coming from the same general vicinity..

That critical detail whooshed over the head of the comment to which you’re replying.

No, thanks!

not to be a dick, but, i don’t think you understand that the problem with recklessly printing money is not whether you’re using paper or plastic.

read up on inflation a little.

It strikes me as very odd that you would suddenly so fundamentally distrust your co-workers with whom you share so much. But I'm also not in the US and maybe this is just the current climate over there.

Yes, it absolutely is the climate here. it’s awful. tribalism, division, distrust and eagerness to demonize anyone who doesn’t tow your line.

we’re doomed
