What is their responsibility and what are they doing that is so insidiously addictive exactly? Endless shitposts by your friends for you to scroll-through is that the fentanyl of the internet?
To me this just seems like they're trying to get some control over what people are exposed to and to find out who's doing what.
To me this seems more than shortsighted. The decision to do this seems almost like the manic stage of bipolar disorder. The depression the YouTuber falls into almost instantly into the experiment adds to that suspicion. I think on the first(second?) day the YouTuber is breaking down from the idea of sleeping on the street - surely he anticipated that? The almost complete absence of any attempts to make some money bar a hare-brained buy-sell craiglist scam, which wasn't explored nearly enough on it's own to gauge its viability, seems slightly disordered also.
I knew it would fail, but being unable to get off the streets is a remarkable failure. I think he simply didnt want to get a regular job to get stable housing and instead thought he was going to make 50k in the first month sitting in a public library.
That's strange as you would expect quality to suffer in every single respect when forced to work inhumane conditions. I would find a different mechanic if I thought the one I was considering was miserable from being overworked.
Was there an explanation for why outcomes improved? Perhaps it is necessary to look into who conducts these studies as I imagine someone up the ladder profits greatly from having 1 doctor do the job of 2.
One simple reason might be this over: people make errors over time, but they become familiar with the case. That familiarity is lost whenever they hand over a patient. And you can't solve that with documentation since people would be busy all day doing paperwork instead of caring for patients.
This problem exist in every domain, and in medicine it can have deadly consequences. People sign up to become doctors knowing that they will have to work crazy shifts. But I guess they underestimate how the system hobbles them since it is focused on being efficient, not on achieving the best outcome for the patients.
Quality does suffer as the hours drag on, but quality suffers more when you hand off a case (which can be quite complex) to someone else. The tired but experienced-with-this-case doctor still does a better job than the rested doctor who is brand new to the patient's case.
There's plenty of people trying to be self-sufficient and in my anecdotal experience the vast majority if not all are still unable to entirely disconnect and thats with modern technology and knowledge. The most isolated hermits still buy flour/sugar/salt. I'd like to see the experts here fend for themselves too see how much 'abundance' they come across. Nature is in a state of fierce competition; nothing falls on your lap.
Even ages ago hermits relied on others in some way. Saint Anthony of Egypt weaved baskets to trade for bread and constantly went deeper into the desert when he'd get too many visitors...yet he still traded for his food so he never went too far away.
It mistakingly incorporates coordinates from other planets/satelites in our solar system. Seems a large fraction of those point nemo locations are meteorite impacts on nearby satelites.
Diskpriced has a lot of organic popularity because it actually is extremely useful. The lesson here has nothing to do with UI design. There is real value in aggregating, cleaning, and providing structured access to information that helps people make decisions.
I'm looking for disks and this is exactly a tool I'd like to have, bookmarking this one. If this is an SEO play, good job. If all SEO linked to treasure, it wouldn't be so reviled.
When I was younger I used to draw constantly and I'd say that was the only period in my life when I would often picture images. Looking back it was more flashes of angles and line shapes and how it would feel to draw them.
This makes me wonder two things:
1. Apart from understanding how a mechanical object functions or recalling how to get somewhere what other query benefits from visualisation?
2. Do people with aphantasia dream in images?
1. It really depends on how you think. I assume that people with strong visualization abilities generally tend to use those abilities to reason and think about many different things, like math or code or filesystems or even, say, cooking. But other people use different "internal modalities" to reason about the same things.
As a photographer, one of the skills you develop is to have a concept of a photo in your mind before actually taking the picture. Likely this is the same for any visual form of art. Literally previsualizing what you want to express seems to be the most obvious way to think about it, but I assume there are also other ways that make more sense to less visually-oriented people.
Yes, I do. As it goes, I think it is some neurological thing, a receptor that is misfiring, or something. I've been testing it for the past decade and I only found three conditions where I can see images:
1. Dreams
2. Transition between awake and asleep during classical music concerts (This one is very interesting, cause one of my most vivid experiences was actually seeing different seasons during a Four Seasons (by Mozart I think?) piano concert, based purely on the music, without knowing which one was actually playing).
3. Psychedelics. Or, at least, mushrooms. Haven't tried others.
It seems when some neurological inhibitor is turned off, the images come back, but I don't know if there was any research on that, or whether it is even true.
> The question of buying freehold land recurred to him again and again.
> He went on in the same way for three years; renting land and sowing
wheat. The seasons turned out well and the crops were good, so that
he began to lay money by. He might have gone on living contentedly,
but he grew tired of having to rent other people's land every year,
and having to scramble for it. Wherever there was good land to be
had, the peasants would rush for it and it was taken up at once, so
that unless you were sharp about it you got none. It happened in
the third year that he and a dealer together rented a piece of
pasture land from some peasants; and they had already ploughed it
up, when there was some dispute, and the peasants went to law about
it, and things fell out so that the labor was all lost.
"If it were my own land," thought Pahom, "I should be independent,
and there would not be all this unpleasantness."
Yep can't see any sort of economic ideology regarding land ownership at play here.
I didn't say the story is about Georgism, I said its influence is reflected in the short story. It's "about" greed, but it's no coincidence that the greed is specifically greed for land and that it goes into such depth about specific ownership structures of land.
This stuck out to me also. I don't mind a joke but not if someone/something has to get tortured for it.
