Quit piano because it seems impossible and you don't have the "aptitude".
This is how people view most skills. Obviously if you practiced hard enough and long enough you could eventually play a Chopin etude. I can't think of any skill that is all that different than that.
I think part of it is our language isn't the best here. "Patience" is the right word but patience with putting in work as opposed to just waiting.
I think the only way to really fight this is to take it to a stupid level.
Something like try to take down all videos about aliens on the platform as misinformation.
I mean how can we take down all these videos but let videos about aliens be fine with zero proof for the existence of aliens? It is clearly conspiracy theory and misinformation.
It seems many people have a completely unscientific view of reality in that they have absolute certainty in what they believe to be true.
I think there are people who are looking for North Korea level approval ratings on things. If you have zero uncertainty in what you think is true then anything contradictory is naturally "misinformation".
Wonderful. I am such a Taleb fan boy but have been putting off Designing Data Intensive Applications. I am starting on it this afternoon from this post.
I just started on Daniel Kahneman's Noise. It will be disappointing if it isn't one of these type of books.
Absolutely. I loved Usenet in the mid 90s. Message boards just seemed like a cool upgrade to Usenet and I didn't have to bother with a reader. I doubt I even had a reader installed by 2002ish.
What would the point of a FED created USD stablecoin be over USD?
People act like you have to take gold bars to the grocery store to make exchanges as opposed to just using your bank card and electronically settling up in USD.
Completely absurd. You obviously haven't read much of financial history or the history of banking. No one would ever want to trade banking now for the late 19th century.
You can't know what you are talking about and say that. It is just so ridiculous.
The real problem here is the natural preferential attachment that emerges with tech companies at this scale.
"A preferential attachment process is any of a class of processes in which some quantity, typically some form of wealth or credit, is distributed among a number of individuals or objects according to how much they already have, so that those who are already wealthy receive more than those who are not."
I don't know how we deal with this in the modern world. IMO we need to at least start with network science on the table and realize we do not have the answers if using outdated ideas.
I just can't imagine these are not non-US Military drones.
I think the problem is in the US we think of drones as the DJI phantom and not FPV drones.
I mean if you look at FPV pilots like Johnny FPV or Mr Steele on youtube then extrapolate out a few billion $ on research and development you would end up with something completely alien.
You can leave the house. You aren't doing anything that import.
The straw man of amputees doesn't cut it.
