I used their RL book for a course I taught. It's beautifully written and freely available (http://incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-2nd.html)! I kept getting distracted by the beautiful writing that I would miss the actual content.
Sorry, folks. This is what you get when the institutions fail to help the people they ostensibly were designed to help. There are more than 400 government agencies. No one even knows which one is responsible for what. There are artificial fiefdoms that exist because they self-perpetuate, are effective at shifting blame, and curry a perception of importance.
IMHO, Elon is an agent of chemotherapy for an obviously overgrown bureaucratic cancer. He will take it too far. It's a dirty and thankless job. However, it might be the only way to "refactor" the state without a civil war or revolution. It reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian_I , who rewrote laws (cut 90% of the volume) to consolidate their meaning.
I'm not cheering for it, but institutions have lost.
I don't think everyone should have bunch of kids. However, if you are in a good relationship and both like having kids, think about having 5 instead of 2. My personal experience of having 5+ kids is that the difficulty mostly scales logarithmically, meaning kid 1 is a lot of work, kid 2 is a lot more work, but kid 3 more (but less more) work.
The social dynamics can really work well. Kids can be less work when they can entertain each other. Add some homeschooling, work from home, and creative projects and it makes life really fulfilling.
YMMMV, but it's a valid and reasonable way to live for some.
The issue is that a bunch of people living in conventionally valid ways are contributing to climate change and overpopulation. Not making a value judgement, because no one is used to or equipped to deal with the scale of billions of humans. Still a problem.
FYI, I posted this mainly for its description and illustration of the VHS format. The author of the video has very high quality explanations of technical and cultural details of instruments.
True? How could it be anything but true. Twitter is a complex system that started when text messages were by and large SMS via a 10 number key pad on brick phones.
While Elon has rough edges, imagine his situation. It's a hostile take over where it's not just the board, but the workers themselves who have bad blood with Elon specifically. How do you manage a company when 90% of its employees are expecting and almost encouraging it to burn to the ground?
It's tricky. Imagine your coworkers were tying to sabotage you and you needed to be able to give them tasks on a large complex project. Even when goals are aligned, small differences in implementation directions can fracture teams. So, I understand where he's coming from.
She may be getting off relatively easy. If she happened to be in an embassy, it might have cost her an arm and a leg, and another arm and another leg...
This makes it worse, no? I can't imagine this is not happening right now by lovers, close friends, and agencies.
Just look at past attempts such as xkeyscore. It was keyword based and included words like UNIX to target people. They don't mind being wrong!
