Could you point me to this episode, please?


> People buy expensive items and expect to be able to get those items maintained and serviced. If the business was cutthroat, that could be more difficult. I don't want my dealer going bankrupt, frankly.

So, more competition is bad for the consumer?


Do you have any suggestions for a good one?


I have got good results with Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 cameras (which also have a mic). They are available for $15-20 on ebay.


He records every aspect of his life -- even design meetings. You can watch it all here: https://livestreams.stephenwolfram.com/


Wow, that's crazy. Imagine you have to be a very chilled character to be happy to be micromanaged by your boss (for example https://www.youtube.com/live/rtkioIv7x_Q?feature=shared&t=14...) and then have the meeting immediately put up on Youtube.


I usually have too many windows open (upwards of 20). And yabai tries to tile all of them. Is there any way to say "have a maximum of 3 windows horizontally and but for the left most tile, split vertically into two if needed"?


Which app do you use for notes?


I use both Notability and Apple Notes. I tried Good Notes and Notability just worked better for me. Even though it cost more.


A totally uncritical media, owned by crony businessmen who supports him, just amplifies his party's message and creates the impression that he delivers. Imagine if 95% of the viewership is for some version of fox news. His dramatic failures (like the botched up demonitization) are silently forgotten. Combine this with a huge social media propaganda machinery that circulates fake news, most Indians are forced to live in an alternate reality.


> like the botched up demonitization

Another disaster was his handling of Covid. People were literally begging on streets for oxygen cylinders. He can't put together a sentence to speak in front of media w\o reading from a prompter. He's winning elections by hyped-up narratives, playing with emotions, oppression, lies, religion and caste play cards.


All media is owned by cronies for parties. It's how Indian politics works.

For example, in Punjab the main Punjabi news channel (PTC) is owned by the Badal family - who used to control Punjab as leaders of SAD until 2018 when they lost elections to the INC and then the AAP in 2022.

The main Tamil language news media company Sun Group is owned by the grand-nephew of the founder of the ruling DMK.

The 2 main Telegu language media companies - ETV and Sakshi TV - are owned by businessmen related to the leaders of the BRS and YSRCP respectively.

The BJP will end up losing power at some point, but Indian media is already owned by political dynasties and that will never change.


Is there a place where I can get a whole genome sequencing and where they don't sell my data?


Nebula Genomics has a pretty good privacy policy.

Selling data is the credit card and ad tech industry, not genetics. Your 23AndMe data has approximately no value unless you take the research surveys, since there's nothing to associate it with.


why do people say stuff like this?

for example, they sell it to GlaxoSmithKline

not to mention the recent data breach


They don't because it isn't worth anything. You are misunderstanding what happens.


I used Dante Labs and asked them to delete my data under the GDPR after downloading it

They give you all the data – raw reads and a whole aligned genome for a fairly reasonable price


It is amazing to see him code. Are there other expert programmers out there who code in Python (instead of Rust)?
