I just checked front side of CNN, first 6 titles are about some unofficial trip. They do not know if it will happen, what will happen, where it may happen, what that means...

There is no value for me there. Even if I invest time into filtering, there is no value to gain from that. Maybe it is important, but I am not policy maker or investor, it is not important right now for me!

I can find out about that visit week later, after it actually happened. Without all the speculations and opinions. And since it will be podcast I can listen while running or exercising, and with much lower investment from my side.

》CNN, WSJ, and BBC

That is a news equivalent of junk food. Clickbait partisan outrage generator.

I would suggest some independent podcast with daily or weekly summaries. Much higher information density.

Well, that really is just technicality, is it? We could call it recession now, and later correct it, if data show something else.

I am worried we will get another wave of censorship about "recession conspiracy".

Why we have to wait until 2023 to call it "recession"? Because of elections in November? Why not wait until 2025 after presidential election?

People are rational, model works.

But you can not approximate complex system like human brain with couple of variables. There are not hundreds, but millions of biases.

Advanced epicycle models had dozens moving parts. JPL planetary ephemerides (modern equivalent in polynomials) have several millions of parameters and terabytes of equations.

》epicycles were still not enough to describe what could be observed.

Epicycles based models were far superior in practice, such as predicting planetary conjunctions. Heliocentric models did not really catched up, until Newton invented gravity and calculus.

And centre of mass of solar system (barycenter in Newtonian physics), is outside of Sun, so heliocentric models technically never gave solid predictions! Stellar parallax (main prediction from Copernicus theory) was not confirmed until 19th century! Heliocentrism is mainly philosophical concept!

I will stick with my primitive old thinking and biases, thank you! If I get mugged a few times in a neighbourhood, I will assume it is not safe. There is no need to overthink it!

I visited Manhattan once, what I noticed was how run down metro (underground) was. I would compare it with Kiev metro around 2016, and that country was already at war. I have no idea how city hall can get away with doing so little!

Get refund for your CPU. Clearly broken design, most likely not fixable by microcode update.

It seems disabling JIT on JS VM and only using slow interpreted mode is a good choice.

Why bait? Heathrow has terrible service and 400 pounds may be worth it to get normal service. It is something like bakshis in Egypt... It pays off after couple of hours.

Some friends I know returned to Poland and other countries. It does not make a sense to stay in ultra expensive Dublin, if there is no work during covid.

When you were younger, it was worth it to work. Today basic wage often does not even cover rent and other living expenses. You loose money by working.

To get some perspective go to www.daft.ie and try to find studion near airport...

Feudalism was more like slavery. Serfs could not marry, move or own land without permission. Serfs could be sold (not individuals but entire villages). Comparing it to BMW ownership is disgusting!

Better way is to make a scientific committee, that would declare all side effects (muscle loss, bone density loss...) as totally random and uncorrelated to moon environment. Worked before...

Raising kids with remote work is easy and relatively affordable. If raised correctly, kids do not give much troubles.

Kids are handicap, but people tend to fill void with other handicaps (alcohol, chasing skirt...).

But it is big decision and very long run. You should not make any compromises on partner (even before you start). Marrying woman over 24, with debt or mental issues should be deal breaker.

In europe garlic in jar is "snobbish" option. It is 5x more expensive, produces a lot of waste and has brand and "proper bio" markers. Normal garlic you buy at streetmarket or grow yourself, is noname option for poor people.

》The containers are blocks of fans and filters that suck in air and extract its CO2, which Carbfix mixes with water and injects underground, where a chemical reaction converts it to rock.

It uses A LOT of water! Bitcoin mining is propably more ecological than this.

Geothermal energy is not infinitely scalable. And I have serious doubts about CO2 emmisions of this thing!
