There's an easy solution to this - it's called the information:action ratio. Actions include reading deeply, writing, coding, etc. For every piece of information you consume, you in general, want to produce twice that.

Citing your IQ is cringe but I like the idea of information:action ratio. I think I would benefit from keeping that in mind


> Citing your IQ is cringe

Agreed. Doing so would indicate that the authors "Social IQ" is approaching zero.


> Some open code carries relatively light requirements, for example: “Don’t use my code commercially (don’t sell it or use it in something you sell)” and, very basically.

How can anyone even enforce this? Why can't I take some code, create a SaaS product for drug dealers, and then go sell it to my Opp Daquavion Marshawn III down the block? Who will ever find out?


The reality is that open source license violation is rampant, even in big, recognized names. Enforcement, as you feel, is sparse. Usually an entity has to notice, and then make the effort to react to the situation, which doesn't happen often. There are entities who specifically work on licence violations, for example, you can report them on gnu.org[0]. Because there are large cases like TikTok using OBS code, and not contributing back[1], I'm sure there are lots of cases where the community simply doesn't find out in the first place, similarly to how software piracy is rampant in some places in the world, even among commercial entities.

One underrated benefit of using Anki is you become a god. In a meeting, when I can recite the Q1 revenue along with the names of everyone working on the project, everyone automatically becomes submissive to me because they think they have just observed a superior intellect.


wait so how do you decide what minutia to try to memorize?


He won't tell you obviously because he's a selfish person who dosen't want to aid the competition.


yeah exactly, as a man, you should focus on increasing your status in society, and through those activities that increase status, you ultimately find meaning.


I would recommend listening to Andrew Tate.


Saying "it's not something men in my generation do" might be offensive to some people especially at these left-leaning woke tech companies. I know you're autistic so just thought I'd drop some advice.


How is that offensive? We were just brought up not to ask for help,


Just FYI, in modern pop culture, anyone using the word ‘woke’ to describe something almost always a bigot.


Not true. I know many people, including me, that use the word woke and aren't bigots.


After the QAnon crowd started the whole “I’m awake, not woke” thing, I think it became pretty clear that the intent of the word is only used to incite hatred under the guise of poking fun at something ala trump’s penchant for nicknames.

I certainly use it as a cue to stop listening to someone.


Its frustrating that groups can appropriate words, slogans or sayings and then they can never be used again as they are attached to that context forever :( . Just having to keep up with it all is very tiring.


I'm not too familiar with "QAnon" and neither are most people I know. We all know what woke is though and use it regularly.


Does anyone find it weird that the General Conference of Weights and Measures has acronym CGWM instead of GCWM?


It's CGPM, from French "Conférence générale des poids et mesures"


This is also fairly common on international bodies' initialisms for which there are multiple official languages, to not favour any one of them.

"ISO" is the International Organization for Standardization, in English, Organisation internationale de normalisation in French, and Международная организация по стандартизации in Russian, its three official languages, as one fairly well-known example.


That's what he means.


The application fees aren't that much. Lots of people have access to that kind of money, although it'd be pretty foolish to spend it on a TLD. If you were planning on selling domains from the TLD, you probably need a lot more money to set that up, but why would I let anybody else use .toast???


realistic daydream != practical idea

realistic daydream is like an oxymoron because it conveys the idea that it is unreasonable for most people, but practical for him.
