It's the irl version of being accused of hacking in Counterstrike.

It’s probably selected for. We’re pokers by natural selection.

If you enjoyed TRM, his other book The Happiness Hypothesis surprisingly covers this and other concepts in much better detail relative to the OP.

Old enough!? I'm old enough to remember that and I'm only... nearly 40, damn.

Haha. Thats very well put!

My favourite episode (The Bear with a Comet on his Belly): https://www.sleepwithmepodcast.com/414/

The Sleep With Me Podcast is very good. It helped my wife when she had a period of insomnia.

He has a number of tricks he uses from a monoto delivery, to meandering stories where the narrative constantly interrupts itself with. So you can’t really “follow along”.

What are we doing where looking after children is seen as a con for “the labor supply of senior workers”, and “the labor supply of young mothers”.

Won’t someone think of the labour supply!

Childcare is labour. It is work. It’s the most important work in a society.

What is this very mild cyberpunk motif doing in my cyberpunk library website?

Grandparents, young cousins, older siblings, family friends, aunts and uncles, and extended family beyond. Simply being around frequently, and also easily available when needed. Very little of this has to do with female labour force participation.

Yes, my wife and I live away from family. On the weekends, when there is no nanny, we are at work 100% of the time with him. One's only downtime is when he naps, or when your partner is looking after him.

Once we add a second child to that mix it'll be 100% of each of our time the entire time.

It's pretty extreme.

We both work full time (like most millennial families), so if we couldn't afford a nanny we literally could not have a child.

Indeed. And because of it’s age and outlook its view is very far back and very far forward.

The casual reference to a 135 year old encyclical that dealt with the seismic shift of industrialisation took me quite aback for a number of reasons.

For some reason writerdecks almost all insist on having tiny little screens.

Archive.org mostly ignores robots.txt

Any business greater than Dunbar's Number should not be considered small.

Funnily enough I work in the security industry and the term is ubiquitous there, so I didn’t even notice it.

I am above average (by a small margin) on Lichess, and it sounds trite but to be average at chess you have to not make blunders.

Things like not leaving a piece hanging undefended, not falling into one move tactical traps (forks/pins etc.), and learning how to check mate.

You can achieve all of that by playing slower games, and doing some puzzles.

Business school writing frequently smells like Post hoc rationalisation to me (with some confirmation bias mixed in).

While I always wanted to like Locke's arguments more, they always felt the weaker of the two, and frequently seemed to need to plug god into the gaps.

Unifi (which the OP uses) even has dedicated devices for this type of failover: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/29887153953559-UniFi-5...

To be pedantic he actually gave 613 commandments.

Isn’t that this from the (Anthropic) article:

“Our first step was to use Claude to find previously identified CVEs in older versions of the Firefox codebase. We were surprised that Opus 4.6 could reproduce a high percentage of these historical CVEs”

Well good on you for having the wherewithal for such an interaction. Keep fighting the good fight.

Your parent literally said that nobody will ever convince them otherwise. It’s probably not worth trying.

Protest of any kind only works in systems where the rulers aren’t insulated from the sentiment of their populace by a steady stream of natural resources money.

The z in the username feels like a clue.

The London review of Books frequently has domain experts writing their reviews.

You could have a lid that folds back from the top of the box to form a cup that the box could pour into.

I haven’t found that to be the case at all. I replaced adguard with uBlock lite months ago and haven’t noticed any problems since.

uBlock works on Safari on iPhone too.

I didn’t get ads or redirects.

Firstly why wouldn't one be scared of an opponent that can just steadily press against me, winning a war by attrition?

Secondly, this is a naive mischaracterization of Ukraine, Russia, and the war itself.

Ukraine is a serious modern military power. One that very few countries could successfully invade. One with major support from other countries. Stormshadows, HIMARS, Javelins, NLAWs, Patriot systems are not home made drones.

That said, if Russia had managed to establish air superiority over Ukraine it would have probably won the war as fast as they intended to. But they didn't, and couldn't, because Ukraine isn't a guerilla outfit with home-made drones. They spent more than a decade preparing for this conflict.

It is also Ukraine, with defenders advantage, defending against a % of the Russian offense with their entire defensive capacity. Nearly 30% of Ukraine's GDP goes to defense currently. Russia's is somewhere closer to 7%.

Russia would probably like to do what they did to Chechnya when they got rolled out of there. Just sit back and shell the place. But because Ukraine's drones and long range artillery are a match or better than the Russians, they have to find other means.
