  1. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · quoteThe most rational people today are the folks who choose to focus on that which they can control and that which brings them joy. https://x.com/sapinker/status/1444022798935117831
  2. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Also our diets are bizarre- the natural thing is to eat when you can, a lot of whatever's in season, but from a wider variety of foods throughout the year (with a *lot* more fiber), and food from nature has more intense tastes because isn't bred for rapid tasteless growth
  3. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Nature-wise we starve our subconscious of the normal low volume signals of safety like soft wind and bird calls, and screw up our circadian rhythms indoors + lamps, and don't get enough low intensity relaxed physical activity
  4. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Socially, we're on a quest to find the right fish in the sea rather than build the best relationship within a small set of options, and then expected to parent the next gen without a tribe; plus modern comms feed your conscious brain but starve the subconscious of nonverbal info
  5. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Disconnect between the environment humans evolved in and modernity- in particular, contact with nature, cognitive load of information and decisions, loss of deep social connections with a small tribe of relatives, continual interactions with unpredictable strangers.
  6. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · repostRT @patio11: Apologies for schadenfreude but I’m still chuckling over “Better give me my money back or I’m gonna pop a 1099-DIV in your %]*…
  7. Oct 1, 2021Twitter · repostRT @50x2030: “Real-time data...can materially enhance crop yields, soil quality analysis, resource management” and so much more. Identifyin…
  8. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog So all the recent drama is jostling for position in a 3-month queue?
  9. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · post😂 "downvoted" https://t.co/NGUIIWuQbg
  10. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@cmiciek @mer__edith (I do like the vision of a world where humans scamper around underfoot as a much wiser all-powerful being competently manages the big stuff... I'm sure Aspie-ish techies will be favorite pets for their adorably-underpowered hints of rationality)
  11. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky Some people were really offended by that Hermione-Malfoy sex scene, you know?
  12. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@cmiciek @mer__edith Directed energy-armed drones will be pretty much indistinguishable from Zeus... Particularly after the next pandemic knocks us back to the Dark Ages.
  13. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@cmiciek @mer__edith No I really think there's some truth to it, in the long-term... We are starting to offload our moral decisions and punishments to an ethereal non-human entity, taking the leap of faith that it will be more fair than If an individual biased human made the decision.
  14. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@FPallopides Doin my best here... It'd help if others would stop taking every decision of mine as an implicit judgement of them for not doing the same...
  15. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@eirene_inc @Abihabib Opinion-havers are the best
  16. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 Do they really taste "tomato" with the same intensity as a vine-ripened heirloom tomato from a backyard garden?
  17. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@nickcammarata Otoh, like, Inspiration4... People doing something amazing that would never have happened if we'd stuck to what a sub-100-person tribe can accomplish.
  18. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @nickcammarata: Also it makes sense why < 100 person startups are so powerful for their size. It’s more like they’re not broken and ever…
  19. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quote😳 https://x.com/slashdot/status/1443728210890407955
  20. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @ModeledBehavior: I am amused but not shocked that supply chain shortages are being used to call globalization into question, but not th…
  21. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias 👏 congrats...
  22. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Lol, odds are you're talking to a bot there.
  23. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Tbh I can't wait for the first Rachel Dolezal situation, where the company claims to have been mislead by the claims of the member.
  24. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Surely evidence of having at least one board member with "(she / her)" in her Slack username will suffice?
  25. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky How can you dispute someone's gender identity / sexual identity? If she says she's a woman attracted to other women, that's good enough- irrelevant that she still shops in the men's section and has no idea how to contour.😏
  26. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@robinhanson 🔥 bold tweet ... I really think the future is in robo-pets.
  27. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @christianamusk: https://lnkd.in/gjD_sHk8
  28. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@AMCApeBrandon @unusual_whales @citsecurities I was assuming they're talking about seeing a rumor from someone other than Robinhood, so went to the source to confirm?
  29. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @nickcammarata: It’s possible to be happy even if there are more than zero bad things happening in the world
  30. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quote@Duderichy Lol, the next tweet in my feed... https://mobile.twitter.com/CoinMarketCap/status/1443651872779350030
  31. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog I think this is called FAFSA?
  32. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@jerry_dot_ai @Duderichy I *feel* like the right cross joins might do nicely, but the thought of puzzling out the details... Clearly I've lost my geek edge
  33. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@jerry_dot_ai @Duderichy Wait, this is for fun, not some legacy data / performance fiasco?
  34. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@GDebatta At her age you don't have time to wait till 5pm 😏
  35. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Lol, yeah, teaching slippery slope fallacy from a young age... This is why we produce the *best* Tweeters
  36. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quote"white board with a whip count" ... 🤔 https://x.com/SmithInAmerica/status/1443650779991187461
  37. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quoteHence Snowflake... https://x.com/isosteph/status/1443249337287446531
  38. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quote😂 if you consider reassigning IPs and resetting connections as kills, this is all pretty close to true. https://x.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1443653043841556481
  39. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@simonch26478468 @WholeMarsBlog Also interested in trading strategies, so would like full set of orders placed not just seeing fills via basis.
  40. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@simonch26478468 @WholeMarsBlog Lol, true, except my utter inability to follow through on routine! Was thinking to run some analysis on the resulting portfolio data because perennial questions in my group- how much was dumb luck, or willingness to take risk, vs actual smarter decisions?
  41. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@ATabarrok ❤️ seeing one on a childhood road trip sparked my lifelong interest in sustainable architecture, and these days biophilic design
  42. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@goodtaxtakes Repeal 💯 ... Just another complication in figuring out my estimated taxes.
  43. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@EricAdler2 @Spencer_3g1up @Dazzleox @AbsoluteDon41 @downtown7thave @itslinzzzz Well. You can tell that race isn't part of the data they collect in your credit report, so it isn't available as an input to the formula. The argument is that because race and economic class are correlated, not giving huge loans to poor people is systemic racism.
  44. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky But the women would also have more money.... Disproportionately so, since most billionaires are male... History suggests that when women gain economic power they are more likely to choose to stay single. So confused
  45. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @fawwazanvilen: gdi i'm shedding tears rn listening to the music and looking at the images of voyager's golden record https://t.co/09jeZ…
  46. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@robinhanson The concept of "fandom" seems counterproductive to rationality? Motivated reasoning signals deep loyalty, the more ridiculous the argument the better.
  47. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog Sure- I meant the sharing part 🙂 ... Have been mulling over a side project to build this for my investing club, was wondering if there was a lazy way out!
  48. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog Do you know of any tools to easily do this?
  49. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @cigfran_llwyd "a lot of people I follow are insane" ... All the best people are!
  50. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Aw
  51. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · quote🤔 how does a land value tax make a man less loathsome? I'd rather live with roommates than put up with nonsense from a man-child partner. https://x.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1443456347148677129
  52. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Frank_Giustra: Fed Chair Powell calls inflation 'frustrating' and sees it running into next year…it goes from “Transitory”,to “Frustrat…
  53. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @LPDonovan: Wildly different paths to similar numbers here https://blog.ohpredictive.com/press-releases/kelly-leads-in-all-head-to-head-matchups https://t.co/laYomC3NTZ
  54. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Austen Ha actually I like that phrasing better... Acquiring a taste for the simple life is healthier than hustling and risking it all to become a billionaire.
  55. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Sigh, ordered but way oversubscribed in my area of course, so no idea when I'll make it off the wait-list
  56. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Yep, my WV cabin is great except for the no internet issue... Which is tricksy since my employers clients are not local to DC (we don't do govt work as a rule)
  57. Sep 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Lol, well I live in Capitol District - West so...
  58. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@typesfast Well, to be fair, the biggest "port" in the US is actually Chicago because so many containers are put straight onto rail and go through customs at the other end...
  59. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 We choose to default on our debts... 😏
  60. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 It just takes more time and money than you'd think to expand, so the economic unpredictably is part of the problem- who knows if the extra demand will last as economy rebalances back towards services, manufacturers adjust supply lines, stimmy effect ends, air cargo increases...
  61. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Um, I happen to know one port was able to rent some adjacent extra space for the overflow, but it's tricky... If you move things to another location you have to track it all and have customs and gates and get the right truckers to the right place...
  62. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 The other problem is that the yards are full to bursting with stacks of containers awaiting pickup because of scheduling issues & truck driver & chassis shortage; makes everything move a little slower when there's no elbow room
  63. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Well... You're assuming people want to work... 😛 Pay is according to ILWU so they can't easily bump it up, particularly with contentious renegotiation coming soon; also covid + rigid skilled categories = whole gangs idle because one person had a fever
  64. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@sadalsvvd @datasstrowife Invest in all the things that would maintain their value regardless of currency- strong local community relationships, DIY skills and tools, orchard and gardens, etc
  65. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Covid + politics have increased demand & trade imbalance, reduced supply of labor in ports & trucking, and increased unpredictability which decreases efficiency
  66. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @SwiftOnSecurity: You realize this is a fresh start, you work on yourself to become someone wanted. A court order reverses all temporal…
  67. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 The rate of unloading is a bit slower than the rate of new ships arriving, but it adds up over months and customers react to the delay by shipping more / earlier which adds to the crunch.
  68. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 Increased volume of shipping + slowdown in port efficiency / prev lack of investment to add capacity, compounding over time
  69. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @blkgirllostkeys: Pro tip: Your system will get stale. We already know this. You can have a new one ready to try when it gets stale. Or…
  70. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Duderichy: Time to send every family who’s home went up $100k in value a $30k tax bill.
  71. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@robertwiblin Imo Manchin keeps the peace with leadership by not negotiating via press release.
  72. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Katie_Roof: “I said I think our stock price is too high and this did nothing to stop the rise of the stock price. I don’t know what els…
  73. Sep 29, 2021Twitter · reply@e__vehicle The best car for my lifestyle would probably be a Jeep Wrangler, but no EV version available yet!
  74. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@e__vehicle Mini Cooper Sport, tbh half the reason I'm procrastinating on an EV is because of the fun of driving the Mini on twisty West Virginia roads on the weekends
  75. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@e__vehicle Also been considering an electric assist bike, but scared of bad drivers
  76. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@e__vehicle Ah well.. sticking to my old Mini for now, hoping for more cute urban EVs soon
  77. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @SethS_D: This is crazy/dangerous. Peter Singer is one of the most important contributors to animal rights & effective altruist movemen…
  78. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · quoteSo cute, I need one! Most of my trips are 4 miles or less... https://x.com/evehicle_com/status/1443055288572002306
  79. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@Miles_Brundage And lastly, voicemail 😏
  80. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl It was so awesome I quit after one year to spend more time riding horses. Was able to dive right into college classes with no apparent gap in my knowledge, so I tend to doubt the value.
  81. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@QiaochuYuan I will say, sleep deprivation has been shown to improve symptoms of depression... But in the psych ward they bully patients into taking sleep meds rather than waking them up, because of course.
  82. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Piers_Taylor: Forgive me, but yes, I’m pleased. What a long strange trip my own academic journey has been, from being expelled from 3 s…

  85. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@timkaine Yes, please put climate before the UAW when it comes to EV rebates.
  86. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · quoteSo apparently a Carbon Tax would be paid by the Global 1%... https://x.com/steviedubyu/status/1442237110178574341
  87. Sep 28, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Too bad, I do think we should lower the age to 17 because (at least in Virginia) it would mean all HS kids can be pushed to register and vote by HS teachers before they leave for college and are faced with the extra absentee hurdle.
  88. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Cubecumbered @robertwiblin Shipping prices = supply vs demand for shipping; early pandemic shutdowns shifted from containers to ro-ro cargo and left empties in wrong places, labor is a limiting factor as covid hit workers and union contract isn't pandemic-optimized, air cargo space disappeared..
  89. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · quote@savanarola5 @robertwiblin If you're curious I recommend https://mobile.twitter.com/man_integrated/status/1241374453449265152
  90. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@robertwiblin He said the short term wouldn't be too bad because there's some slack in the system to make adjustments and substitutions, but that the whiplash effect would cause increasing disruption that would take several years to settle.
  91. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@robertwiblin Yes, a supply chain management consultant I know did predict this in convos in Mar-May 2020, but then he's old-school and not on Twitter so maybe doesn't count?
  92. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@DrNoah_MTBC @xpepeslayerx @mattyglesias And going out with a group is tricky when there's no good vegan options on the menu, so you're left googling to find out if they're good at off-menu requests
  93. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@JacquieTeo1 @MattGlassman312 @tylercowen If only we'd gotten our Columbia Pike Trolley... 😏
  94. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan Depends what you mean by "large" and whether you're talking a spike of positive tests or of severe cases.
  95. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @jasoncrawford: This is a point also made by @rachellaudan: dishes we think of as “traditional cuisine” are *not* what the average perso…
  96. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 Not even signs of psychological instability and talk of posting a major root CA private key to laugh at the ensuing chaos?
  97. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Socialism requires a group-oriented personality to feel that your personal needs and the group's decisions will be generally in harmony... Brains like that aren't good at taking outsider perspectives, they shy away from those dangerous ideas that might disrupt the groupthink.
  98. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @GDebatta: plague doctor aesthetic is hott 🔥 https://t.co/FsjS5NxFRg
  99. Sep 27, 2021Twitter · reply@TeslaAndBitcoin imo fear of inadequate data on nearby threats is quite rational... but I guess this explains the no-lidar / pure-vision direction
  100. Sep 26, 2021Twitter · reply@robinhanson Enjoying a chance to womansplain after years of hearing how my hormones make me unsuited to tech work 😛, but also see https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2019.0867
