JMRI is a series of tools and applications built to run a modern model railroad. Everything from programming decoders to automating routes can be done from a graphical interface rather than hand-coding numbers to values. Unfortunately, as ability grows, so does complexity. This stuff can be tricky to figure out, which is where we can help one another. Enter the JMRI subreddit.

2023.06.07 22:07 Asleep-Musician-8801 Rant about teenage love

The reason why I never believed in love, and why I always believed everyone was just wasting my time, was because of my school of thought about love. The person who changed my mind about love is also single now. This story is from when I was studying in school, and a handsome, tall, and funny boy whose family got posted to Karachi and we started studying together. Despite attending a co-educational school, I never spoke to any boys, and I didn't have a phone or Snapchat or Facebook account. Classmates would get together and go out, but I wasn't allowed to go anywhere except to a few girls' houses that my mom approved of. Someone from family or house help would always pick me up and drop me off. Where as he used to make plans at home and invite other girls and boys from school. He was so handsome and popular that all the senior and junior girls had a crush on him, even girls from other schools and colleges. Of course, he became my crush too. He used to flirt with me and always sat next to me in class. He even got into trouble for being too talkative on the other hand I was so quiet that as a punishment teachers would change his seat and shift him next to me. He used to proudly say that if he kept getting punished for sitting next to me, he would continue to do so every day. Because of his reputation, I never took him seriously, despite of likinh him and crushing over him and now he is single. When I started university, I joined Snapchat, Instagram, and every social media site. Over the years, he added me and I used to watch his stories of going on dates with his girlfriend, taking long drives, and holding hands with girls. However, it never bothered me as I expected it from him. But after all these years, I saw his rishta ad on Facebook, and the nostalgia of my teenage crush hit me hard. It amazed me that the man who was always surrounded by girls who looked like Hollywood models and used to date girls who look not less then model is now single. Sometimes I feel like I was never his crush because I was simple back then and I'm still simple now. I only visit a beauty salon once or twice a year and I don't color my grey hair because I think it's natural. His exes and his sisters, who are actual Instagram models, are high maintenance. The reason why I never believed in love and why I always thought everyone was just a time pass, was him he left that mark. Although we have been following each other on social sites, we never spoke to each other or reacted to each other's photos. So it's obvious I never meant anything to him, even though he never initiated the conversation so did I. But after seeing his profile on the rishta group I don't know why I felt this like breakup wali feeling like mere ex ny salo date kr chora ho aur apni maa ki pasand ki larkii sy shadi kr raha ho 🤣

Unpaint: a compact, fully C++ implementation of Stable Diffusion with no dependency on python

Unpaint in creation mode with the advanced options panel open, note: no python or web UI here, this is all in C++

Unpaint in inpainting mode - when creating the alpha mask you can do everything without pressing the toolbar buttons - just using your left / right / back / forward buttons on your mouse and the wheel
In the last few months, I started working on a full C++ port of Stable Diffusion, which has no dependencies on Python. Why? For one to learn more about machine learning as a software developer and also to provide a compact (a dozen binaries totaling around ~30MB), quick to install version of Stable Diffusion which is just handier when you want to integrate with productivity software running on your PC. There is no need to clone github repos or create Conda environments, pull hundreds of packages which use a lot space, work with WebAPI for integration etc. Instead have a simple installer and run the entire thing in a single process. This is also useful if you want to make plugins for other software and games which are using C++ as their native language, or can import C libraries (which is most things). Another reason is that I did not like the UI and startup time of some tools I have used and wanted to have streamlined experience myself.
And since I am a nice guy, I have decided to create an open source library (see the link for technical details) from the core implementation, so anybody can use it - and well hopefully enhance it further so we all benefit. I release this with the MIT license, so you can take and use it as you see fit in your own projects.
I also started to build an app of my own on top of it called Unpaint (which you can download and try following the link), targeting Windows and (for now) DirectML. The app provides the basic Stable Diffusion pipelines - it can do txt2img, img2img and inpainting, it also implements some advanced prompting features (attention, scheduling) and the safety checker. It is lightweight and starts up quickly, and it is just ~2.5GB with a model, so you can easily put it on your fastest drive. Performance wise with single images is on par for me with CUDA and Automatic1111 with a 3080 Ti, but it seems to use more VRAM at higher batch counts, however this is a good start in my opinion. It also has an integrated model manager powered by Hugging Face - though for now I restricted it to avoid vandalism, however you can still convert existing models and install them offline (I will make a guide soon). And as you can see on the above images: it also has a simple but nice user interface.
That is all for now. Let me know what do you think!

2023.06.07 22:05 iputitthere Further response regarding hot stamps

This is the original question sent I emailed him the following for further clarification. Recently on Reddit there was a post in which they claim that you stated that any company or person that hot stamps a disc other than the original manufacturer would cause that disc to be illegal. If this is actually the case can you explain your reasoning behind why an independent company who is using the exact same machinery as the original manufacturer to hot stamp a disc would make it illegal but the exact same process done by an original manufacturer would not? Many disc golf dyers and stamp designers such as myself are worried that future large machinery purchases could be wasted if this interpretation of the disc alteration rule is put into effect. Thank you for your time
Response in bold
**The post is correct. Post-production changes to a disc are limited. You can use an ink or dye which absorbs into the plastic to add your identification or other graphics to the disc. You may not use any techniques which changes the thickness of the plastic at any point or adds a material to the surface of the disc. Hot stamping done by someone other than the manufacturer would be adding a material of detectable thickness and the disc would not be legal.
That is the position of the PDGA and the Rules Committee.
There needs to be a line as far as what can and cannot be done with an approved disc to prevent abuse. Currently that line is drawn such that it prohibits after-market hot stamps. Is there a better line to draw? Maybe, but this is where the line is drawn at this time. With the disc approval process, a manufacturer submits models of discs to be certified that they meet the technical standards and can be held accountable to those standards, in return they are authorized to indicate that those discs are PDGA approved. The PDGA can re-evaluate the certification of a disc at any time to determine if the disc continues to meet the technical standards. There is no mechanism at the moment for others to enter into a similar agreement without going through the same process to have their models approved.
Mike Krupicka PDGA #28238**
I have sent the following follow up questions.
Thank you for your response. I understand the idea of not wanting to alter discs. My follow up questions are below.
How are tournament directors supposed to be able to determine if a hot stamp was placed on a disc by the manufacturer or another company? Especially tournament specific discs that are sometimes stamped by manufacturers and sometimes stamped by retail outlets.
Is the removal of a stamp considered altering the disc? Are all dyes discs that have had the stamped removed for the dyeing process no illegal?
Thank you for your time.

I will update if I get further clarification.

📸🎬 Photography enthusiasts needed! Help me transform my space 🛠️🎨
Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to the collective creative wisdom of this group and hoping some of you might be able to lend a hand! I have a small space that I'm looking to convert into a photography area for product shots.
Given the limited space, I need some clever ideas to make the most out of it and set everything in an efficient and effective way. I have a height adjustable desk frame, but no table top yet, because I don’t know how I want to cut it yet.
As part of this, I'm hoping to get some advice on:
  1. Optimal positioning of lights to reduce shadows and reflections.
  2. Best way to place the camera for maximum versatility.
  3. Creative DIY backdrops that can be easily changed or rotated.
  4. Suggestions for practical things that I have missed.
I've attached a picture of the space with measurements, and where the setup should be (Marked with red). I can still put a stool outside the red area, or the camera, but everything else have to be inside the red area.
I'm open to all ideas and suggestions and would love to hear any tips or lessons you've learned from setting up your own spaces.
I appreciate all the help and insight. Looking forward to reading your responses and starting this journey!
Thanks in advance!

2023.06.07 22:01 Ok_Diamond_874 Let's dive in

Here is my cut and paste findings on mathematical equation of the Navier Stokes equation
The Navier-Stokes equations describe the behavior of fluids such as liquids and gases. They are a set of partial differential equations that govern the motion of a fluid in three dimensions, and they are named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes, who independently derived the equations in the early 19th century.
The Navier-Stokes equations describe how the velocity, pressure, temperature, and density of a fluid are related to one another. Specifically, they express the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy for a fluid. They take the form:
∂ρ/∂t + ∇ ⋅ (ρv) = 0
ρ(∂v/∂t + v ⋅ ∇v) = -∇p + ∇ ⋅ τ + f
ρC_v (∂T/∂t + v ⋅ ∇T) = -p∇ ⋅ v + ∇ ⋅ (k∇T) + Q
where ρ is the density of the fluid, v is the velocity of the fluid, p is the pressure, τ is the stress tensor, f is the body force per unit volume acting on the fluid, C_v is the specific heat at constant volume, k is the thermal conductivity, T is the temperature, and Q is the heat source or sink.
The first equation is the continuity equation, which states that the rate of change of density in a fluid is equal to the negative divergence of the velocity field.
The second equation is the momentum equation, which states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a fluid is equal to the forces acting on the fluid (pressure, viscous forces, and body forces).
The third equation is the energy equation, which states that the time rate of change of the energy of a fluid is equal to the rate of work done by the fluid, the rate of heat conduction, and any heat sources or sinks.
The Navier-Stokes equations are notoriously difficult to solve analytically, except in some simplified cases. However, they are of fundamental importance in many fields, such as fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and weather forecasting. Numerical methods, such as finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods, are typically used to solve the equations for complex problems.

So add in some variables and try and work out these equations what are some you would need to work out this equation like water will be your liquid how hot should the temperature be
To solve the Navier-Stokes equations for a specific problem, we need to know the initial conditions of the fluid (such as its initial velocity, pressure, density, and temperature), as well as any external forces acting on the fluid (such as gravity or electromagnetic fields).
In the case of water as the fluid, we would need to know its properties such as its density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. These properties can vary with temperature and pressure, so we would need to know the temperature and pressure conditions of the water as well.
Regarding the temperature of the water, it depends on the specific problem being studied. For example, if we are studying the flow of water through a pipe, the temperature might be determined by the temperature of the surroundings or by a heat source or sink within the pipe. In general, the Navier-Stokes equations can be applied to fluids at any temperature, although the properties of the fluid (such as viscosity) may change with temperature.
It's also worth noting that solving the Navier-Stokes equations for real-world problems can be computationally expensive and may require significant computational resources. Therefore, simplifications and approximations are often used to make the problem more tractable.

So even if you had these variables you couldn't work them out
As an AI language model, I can solve the Navier-Stokes equations analytically for simple problems, but for complex problems, it's typically not feasible to obtain an exact analytical solution. Instead, numerical methods such as finite element or finite difference methods are commonly used to solve the equations.
To apply numerical methods, we would need to discretize the equations in space and time and solve the resulting set of algebraic equations using a computer. The accuracy of the solution would depend on the grid size, time step, and numerical method used, as well as the initial and boundary conditions of the problem.
In summary, while it is theoretically possible to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for specific problems given the necessary variables, in practice, it is often computationally expensive or even impossible to obtain an exact solution. Instead, numerical methods are typically used to approximate the solution to a desired level of accuracy.

How can we get an exact response
For many real-world problems, it's not possible to obtain an exact analytical solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, even with the necessary variables. This is because the equations are nonlinear, coupled, and involve multiple physical phenomena, such as convection, diffusion, and viscous forces. Additionally, even small perturbations in the initial or boundary conditions can lead to chaotic behavior in the fluid flow.
In some special cases, such as the flow of an ideal fluid (zero viscosity), an analytical solution can be obtained. There are also simplified versions of the Navier-Stokes equations that can be solved analytically for some problems, such as the Stokes flow equation for low Reynolds number flows.
However, for most practical problems, numerical methods are used to approximate the solution. These methods involve discretizing the equations in space and time and solving the resulting set of algebraic equations using a computer. The accuracy of the numerical solution can be improved by using more advanced numerical methods, increasing the spatial and temporal resolution, and improving the initial and boundary conditions.
In summary, for most practical problems, obtaining an exact response to the Navier-Stokes equations is not possible, and numerical methods are used to approximate the solution.

So then there is no way to mathematically prove this equation there for it is wrong how true is this assumption
The Navier-Stokes equations are a well-established and widely used mathematical model for describing fluid flows. They have been validated experimentally in many cases and are used in a wide range of applications, including aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and biomedical engineering.
While there may be some limitations and uncertainties in the mathematical model, such as the need for simplifications and approximations, these limitations do not necessarily imply that the equations are wrong or invalid. Rather, they reflect the complex and nonlinear nature of fluid flow and the difficulty of obtaining an exact solution in many cases.
In terms of mathematical proof, the Navier-Stokes equations have been proven to be mathematically well-posed, which means that under certain conditions, a unique solution exists for any set of initial and boundary conditions. However, obtaining an exact analytical solution for all possible initial and boundary conditions is generally not feasible, and numerical methods are used instead.
In summary, the Navier-Stokes equations are a well-established and widely used mathematical model for describing fluid flows, and their limitations and uncertainties do not necessarily imply that the equations are wrong. Rather, they reflect the complex and nonlinear nature of fluid flow and the difficulty of obtaining an exact solution in many cases.

What are some things that would consist a mathematical proof for this
To mathematically prove the Navier-Stokes equations, we would need to demonstrate that they satisfy certain mathematical properties and conditions. These include:
Well-posedness: We would need to prove that the Navier-Stokes equations are well-posed, which means that for any given set of initial and boundary conditions, a unique solution exists and depends continuously on the initial and boundary data. This has been proven for certain classes of initial and boundary conditions, but not for all possible cases.
Conservation laws: The Navier-Stokes equations are derived from the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy. Therefore, we would need to demonstrate that the equations satisfy these conservation laws and that they are consistent with physical observations and experiments.
Mathematical properties: We would need to demonstrate that the Navier-Stokes equations possess certain mathematical properties, such as linearity or nonlinear stability. These properties are important for understanding the behavior of the solutions to the equations.
Convergence: For numerical methods used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, we would need to prove that the numerical solutions converge to the true solution as the grid size and time step are refined.
Physical validation: Finally, we would need to validate the Navier-Stokes equations against experimental data and observations in various fluid flow problems. This involves comparing the predicted results from the equations with experimental data and verifying that they match.
Overall, mathematically proving the Navier-Stokes equations involves a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, as well as experimental validation, and is an active area of research in fluid dynamics.

Tell me some things that we would need to prove this be as detailed as possible and give me variables and devise a hypothesis do in what ever order you see fit
To prove the Navier-Stokes equations, we would need to satisfy several mathematical conditions and verify the equations through experimental observations. Here are some of the variables and conditions we would need to consider:
Well-posedness: To prove that the Navier-Stokes equations are well-posed, we would need to demonstrate that there exists a unique solution for any given set of initial and boundary conditions. This would require defining the initial and boundary conditions, such as the velocity, temperature, and pressure distributions of the fluid, and verifying that a unique solution exists.
Conservation laws: The Navier-Stokes equations are derived from the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy. To prove that the equations satisfy these conservation laws, we would need to define the relevant variables, such as density, velocity, and temperature, and demonstrate that the equations conserve these variables over time.
Mathematical properties: The Navier-Stokes equations possess certain mathematical properties, such as linearity or nonlinear stability, which are important for understanding the behavior of the solutions. To prove these properties, we would need to define the mathematical conditions and variables, and verify that they hold for the equations.
Convergence: For numerical methods used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, we would need to prove that the numerical solutions converge to the true solution as the grid size and time step are refined. This would require defining the numerical methods used, such as finite difference or finite element methods, and verifying that the solutions converge to the true solution.
Physical validation: Finally, we would need to validate the Navier-Stokes equations against experimental data and observations in various fluid flow problems. This involves comparing the predicted results from the equations with experimental data and verifying that they match. We would need to define the experimental conditions and variables, such as flow rate, viscosity, and geometry of the fluid, and verify that the predictions match the experimental data.
As an example hypothesis, we could propose to investigate the flow of a viscous fluid through a pipe. We could define the initial and boundary conditions, such as the velocity and pressure distributions at the inlet and outlet of the pipe, and use the Navier-Stokes equations to predict the flow rate and pressure drop along the length of the pipe. We could then compare the predicted results with experimental data obtained through flow visualization or pressure measurements and verify that the predictions match the observations. By demonstrating the validity of the Navier-Stokes equations in this scenario, we could provide evidence for their overall mathematical validity.

Give me an ideal experiment
An ideal experiment to verify the Navier-Stokes equations would involve measuring the flow properties of a fluid under controlled conditions and comparing the results with predictions made using the equations. Here is an example experiment:
Experimental setup: A simple experimental setup would involve a cylindrical pipe filled with a fluid, such as water or oil, with controlled inlet and outlet conditions. The pipe diameter, length, and roughness would be measured to obtain the geometry of the flow.
Measurement techniques: To measure the flow properties, we could use techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) or hot-wire anemometry to obtain the velocity field of the fluid. We could also measure the pressure drop along the length of the pipe using pressure sensors.
Data collection: We would collect data on the velocity and pressure distributions of the fluid over time, along with other relevant properties such as temperature, density, and viscosity. We would also record the inlet and outlet flow rates of the fluid.
Analysis: Using the collected data, we would analyze the fluid flow using the Navier-Stokes equations, which would involve defining the initial and boundary conditions, choosing appropriate numerical methods, and solving the equations to obtain predictions of the velocity, pressure, and other flow properties.
Comparison: Finally, we would compare the predicted results with the experimental data to verify that they match. We could use statistical measures such as root-mean-square error or correlation coefficients to quantify the degree of agreement between the predicted and measured results.
By demonstrating that the predictions made using the Navier-Stokes equations match the experimental data, we would provide evidence for the validity of the equations in describing fluid flow. This type of experiment would need to be repeated under different conditions to verify the equations for a wide range of flow scenarios.

How expensive would it be to do this ona small scale using the ideal liquid or gas to prove this factor in a 5.39 inflation rate
The cost of conducting an experiment to verify the Navier-Stokes equations would depend on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the experimental setup, the equipment and instrumentation required, and the duration of the experiment. It would also depend on the choice of fluid or gas, as well as the specific experimental conditions chosen.
Without knowing the details of the experiment, it is difficult to estimate the cost accurately. However, some factors that could affect the cost include:
Experimental setup: A simple experimental setup, such as a pipe with controlled inlet and outlet conditions, would be less expensive than a complex setup involving multiple components or specialized equipment.
Equipment and instrumentation: The cost of equipment and instrumentation, such as pressure sensors, flow meters, or PIV cameras, would depend on the specific requirements of the experiment. Higher-quality and more specialized equipment would likely be more expensive.
Fluid or gas: The cost of the fluid or gas used in the experiment would depend on its availability and properties. Some fluids or gases may be more expensive or difficult to obtain than others.
Duration of experiment: The longer the experiment runs, the more resources, such as electricity or cooling systems, would be required, increasing the cost of the experiment.
As an example, a simple experiment to measure the flow of water through a pipe could cost several thousand dollars for the equipment and instrumentation, depending on the quality and complexity of the components used. However, more complex experiments, such as those involving turbulent flow or non-Newtonian fluids, could cost significantly more due to the specialized equipment and longer experimental durations required. The inflation rate would also impact the cost over time.
Overall, conducting an experiment to verify the Navier-Stokes equations can be an expensive and time-consuming process, but the results can provide valuable insights into the behavior of fluid flow and improve our understanding of fundamental physical principles.

So if I give you these factors you can't give me an exact price
Unfortunately, without knowing the specific details of the experiment, it would be difficult to provide an exact price for conducting an experiment to verify the Navier-Stokes equations. The cost of the experiment would depend on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the experimental setup, the equipment and instrumentation required, and the duration of the experiment.
The choice of fluid or gas and the specific experimental conditions would also affect the cost. Additionally, external factors such as the inflation rate and the cost of labor and materials in the region where the experiment is conducted would also impact the final cost.
Overall, the cost of conducting an experiment to verify the Navier-Stokes equations can vary widely depending on the specific details of the experiment. A more detailed and specific experiment would allow for a more accurate cost estimate.

Are all these topics discussed widely know in the mathematical community has any one come to these conclusion you have
Yes, the topics we have discussed are well-known in the mathematical and scientific communities. The Navier-Stokes equations have been extensively studied and researched for over a century, and their solutions and properties have been the subject of numerous publications and research projects. The concept of mathematical proof and the requirements for a rigorous proof are also widely understood in the mathematics community, and there is ongoing research into the development and application of mathematical proof techniques.
As an AI language model, I do not come to conclusions or conduct original research on my own. Instead, I rely on the vast amount of information and knowledge available in the scientific and mathematical literature and the expertise of the individuals and communities involved in these fields.

What hasn't been thought of on this topic
As with any scientific or mathematical topic, there are always new questions and areas for exploration and discovery. Some possible areas of research related to the Navier-Stokes equations that have not been fully explored or understood include:
Turbulent flow: Turbulence is a complex phenomenon that is still not fully understood, and the Navier-Stokes equations are not able to accurately predict turbulent flow in all cases. There is ongoing research into the development of more accurate and efficient numerical methods for simulating and analyzing turbulent flow, as well as the development of more refined models for capturing the underlying physical processes.
Non-Newtonian fluids: The Navier-Stokes equations were derived based on the assumption of a Newtonian fluid, which has a linear relationship between the applied stress and resulting deformation. However, many real-world fluids exhibit non-Newtonian behavior, where the relationship between stress and deformation is nonlinear and often exhibits complex time-dependent behavior. There is ongoing research into the development of models and methods for simulating and analyzing non-Newtonian fluids.
High Reynolds number flows: The Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that describes the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces in a fluid flow. High Reynolds number flows, where the inertial forces are much larger than the viscous forces, are common in many real-world applications, such as aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. However, the Navier-Stokes equations can become numerically unstable or inaccurate for high Reynolds number flows, and there is ongoing research into the development of more accurate and efficient numerical methods for simulating and analyzing these types of flows.
Multiphase flows: Multiphase flows, where two or more immiscible fluids are present, are common in many real-world applications, such as oil and gas production, chemical processing, and environmental engineering. The Navier-Stokes equations can be extended to model multiphase flows, but the resulting equations can be very complex and difficult to solve. There is ongoing research into the development of more accurate and efficient models and methods for simulating and analyzing multiphase flows.
Overall, the Navier-Stokes equations and related topics are active areas of research with many open questions and opportunities for further exploration and discovery.

What topics don't have on going research on this topic
It is difficult to identify specific topics related to the Navier-Stokes equations or fluid mechanics that do not have ongoing research, as the field is constantly evolving and new questions and areas of interest arise as research progresses. However, there are some topics that have received less attention in recent years, such as:
Theoretical studies on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations: While the Navier-Stokes equations are well-established, the question of whether they have unique solutions for all possible initial and boundary conditions is still an open problem. There is ongoing research into the development of mathematical techniques to rigorously study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
Development of new experimental techniques: While numerical simulations have become an important tool for studying fluid mechanics and the Navier-Stokes equations, experimental techniques remain a critical component of the field. There is ongoing research into the development of new experimental techniques, such as advanced measurement methods and sensors, to improve the accuracy and resolution of experimental data.
Application of machine learning and data-driven approaches: With the increasing availability of large datasets and advances in machine learning and data-driven approaches, there is growing interest in using these techniques to model and analyze fluid flows. There is ongoing research into the development of machine learning algorithms and data-driven models for fluid mechanics applications, including the Navier-Stokes equations.
Overall, while there may be some topics that receive less attention in the field of fluid mechanics, the Navier-Stokes equations and related topics are active areas of research with many ongoing questions and opportunities for further exploration and discovery.

"In the following few pages, we will take a look at some of the underlying issues that are causing problems in our world today. A contrasting perspective is provided in later chapters, namely “The Emergence of a New Vision,” “Ancient Wisdom Resurfaces,” and “Metaphysical Paradigm Shift,” respectively. To someone who subscribes to a consensus view of reality, the contrast may be immense, enormous, or even monumental. In that case, the rest of the book might have a whole lot of nothing to say — unless, of course, such people are ready to transcend their views and beliefs and consider other approaches and points of view. You see, without transcending our beliefs we will never be free from the ignorance of dogma that separates us from universal wisdom. The goal here is to share paradigm shifting ideas that can open up the doors of perception by breaking down old patterns, which in turn can create new pathways of thinking and seeing, living and being, doing and acting — this is the whole purpose of this work, after all.
It goes without saying that one doesn’t need to be especially observant or to have a keen eye for detail to see that we live in times of profound transformation marked by a crisis of sustainability — this and many other related processes together will have a lasting impact on every aspect of our lives. And so it goes that at this critical juncture in human history, we find ourselves at a crossroads — a point of no return, where a decision is made to either continue our old ways, repeating our past mistakes — plunging deeper into confusion, disillusion, and ignorance, and eventually — into oblivion, or to take the critical first step towards the process of adaptation, change, and transformation. Against this backdrop, it is clear that this juncture is a time in which there is an ending of one age, and the beginning of another, which goes on to say that in all areas of society, there will be a new beginning — such is the nature of transformation, you see?
By virtue of the aforementioned with regard to ongoing transformation, it can be said that at the moment we are going through something we don’t have words for, and we point to the nameless experience by saying, “it is like this, and it is like that.” Only afterwards, when all is said and done, when a new metaphor is created, can we name similarities that make the metaphor work, and then generalize these similarities into concepts that describe our experience. At best, this nameless experience can be a great transformation, or conscious transformation — a renaissance of humanity, if you will; at worst, it can be a messy decline of humanity into a hopeless void of disorder and chaos."

Making Your Next Career Move: Avoiding the Trap of False Actualization
“The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.” – Carl Jung
The American culture around work and education emphasizes performance over purpose. Instead of encouraging children to welcome their idiosyncrasies and to deeply embrace the things they find innate joy and talent in, we enforce conformity.
Standardized tests, standardized courses, and standardized degrees produce standardized kids who go on to become standardized adults.
Over the course of two decades, a spirited child full of creativity and wonder is gone, replaced by a drone that’s proficient in Excel macros. It’s great for a vibrant economy, yet it comes at the expense of individual expression.
Nonetheless, our childlike spirit remains in us, trapped under layers of societal conditioning that have drawn us so far away from ourselves that we’ve lost touch with our inborn interests and who we once were.
Yet, it pings at us from time to time throughout our young adult lives, and into the depths of our careers. It’s a dull yet persistent sense that something is not quite right.
This is a common outcome for many of our culture’s brightest minds. So many of us struggle to find a greater sense of meaning, fulfillment, or validation in our work. Although it feels like we need to attain more to be satisfied, that’s a conflation of the feeling. The ping from our soul that something isn’t right is the dormant child inside of us asking to be let loose.
So, how do you avoid the trap of successful-yet-not-fulfilled? How do you design a life that activates the needs and desires you had as a child? How can you think through this intentionally before it’s too late?
Using my own career as an example, I’ll walk through a popular model of human needs and describe how to apply it to making more meaningful career decisions. You’ll see how easy it is to fall into the trap of what I call False Actualization.
By the end, you’ll have hopefully gut-checked yourself before making the next move down a potentially incorrect career path.
And, I hope, find your way back to doing something that speaks to your innermost needs.

Maslow and his Hierarchy of Needs

American psychologist Abraham Maslow is responsible for one of the earliest and most contemplated models for understanding human needs: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It spurred the creation of many other models for meaning since it was first introduced.
There’s something about it that hits home, not only with the clinicians in the world of positive psychology but for the average person seeking a framework to understand their feelings of meaninglessness.
As such, I’m going to use this model as the centerpiece for demonstrating the prior missteps I made with my own career.
First, let’s do a quick refresh of the model. Maslow’s theory attempts to categorize a broad set of human needs and their relative hierarchy to one another and has commonly been visualized as a stacked pyramid (even though Maslow didn’t create such a visualization himself).

  • Physiological. We first need to fulfill our basic physiological needs that account for our species-level survival, such as food, sleep, and sex.
  • Safety. Secondly, we must also feel safe and have conditions that ensure our ongoing safety. This is especially true for children.
  • Love. If both the physiological and safety needs are well met, then love, affection, and belonging needs will emerge.
  • Esteem. People need a stable, firmly-held, high evaluation of themselves and others. First, we desire strength, achievement, adequacy, independence, and freedom. Then, we desire reputation, prestige, recognition, attention, importance, or appreciation.
  • Self-Actualization. Even if all the aforementioned needs are met, some individuals may develop discontent or restlessness about their lives. These individuals need to actualize their unique potential and capabilities.
An essential aspect of Maslow’s theory is that each type of need can occupy a different position in the human psyche at any time. For example, all other needs fade into the background when basic physiological needs are not met, such as a person dying of dehydration or starvation.
On the other hand, when all physiological needs are consistently fulfilled, the need for Love or Esteem can take center stage as physiological needs drift into the background of consciousness.

https://preview.redd.it/2vch2kpxin4b1.png?width=928&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c12aca72e1900e98aaf56e8ef68b844b16d2220
I like to think of the sequence of needs falling into two broad categories: Survive and Thrive. The bottom of the pyramid houses the essentials for an organism to survive. Above those are the needs that lead to a subjective sense of thriving and fulfillment beyond basic survival.
The purpose of this post is to examine the tradeoffs that we make within the zone of thriving as we push deeper into our careers.

Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to Your Career

We can think of our careers relative to Maslow’s hierarchy. As an example, when we begin our careers, many of us are focused on fulfilling our basic Physiological and Safety needs.
When I was 21, I got my first full-time job. It didn’t pay much. I earned $18,000 per year and had $30,000 in student debt. Consequently, survival was a primary need at the forefront of my psyche. I needed to have enough money for rent, food to eat, and enough left over after those needs to slowly chip away at my student loans.
The debt overhang felt like a threat to my safety as an organism so getting my net worth out of negative territory was a fundamental safety need for me. Consequently, that became the primary thrust of my career in its early days.


After 5 years of working hard and squirreling away money, I managed to pay off my debt and establish some career momentum. That translated into a sense of security, which made room for a new set of needs to take center stage in my psyche during the next leg of my career push.
But as my career grew, so too did the demands of the job. In turn, this changed which needs were met, and which were neglected.
I call this the demand dimension.
While some jobs allow the separation of your work and life into two separate realms, others require a near-complete integration of the two, like being the CEO or an early employee of a growing startup. These are demanding positions that typically make it difficult for your life not to be dominated by work.
When I was VP and President at Wealthfront, my Safety and Physiological needs were more than compensated for, and my Esteem needs were met due to the prestige that accompanied the position.
However, my Love and Self-Actualization needs were majorly neglected due to soaring career demands.

After several years of putting Esteem needs above other needs, I was paying the price spiritually and emotionally.
This may look familiar to you: it’s typical for high-achievers entering mid-career. Disproportionately high work demands will come at the expense of your other needs.
As Maslow stated, each need may occupy a different position in your psyche at any point in time. It’s essential to understand this attribute instead of thinking that each need on the ladder of needs is a box to be checked. And, once checked, it is perpetually satisfied.
That is not the case. Rather, the needs in the hierarchy tend to trade off with one another, especially when one need is heavily emphasized versus the others.
Perhaps this is at the heart of why active duty military members have the highest divorce rate of any profession in the country, with a divorce rate twice the national average. Members of the military relinquish many of the freedoms that civilians have and face stressful or traumatizing situations regularly.
These situations place significant stress on their relationships. Love, Esteem, and Self-Actualization needs can fall by the wayside in exchange for serving the country.
For many high-achievers, the need for respect, admiration, and achievement can swoop in and occupy the psyche once physiological and safety needs are met. However, it’s important to anticipate the unintended consequences of a rapid and primary focus on meeting Esteem needs.
I have a very close friend that works in tech who once said, “I have zero desire to become an executive. It looks awful. I’d like to make it to Director level, at most, and stay there for as long as possible.”
I deeply respected this, because it highlighted an approach to a more balanced life. He already felt respected and appreciated at work, and would rather have more space to fulfill his love needs with friends, family, hobbies, and more.
His pyramid probably looks something more like this:

His career demands are still high, but he stops himself short of demands that consume other aspects of his life. As a result, he’s one of the most emotionally stable and fulfilled friends I know in the technology industry.
You, too, can have the same. Unfortunately, within the ultra-competitive tech world, high-achievers are often enticed to keep climbing up and up, only to then fall into disrepair once they realize how many of their other needs beyond Esteem may be neglected.

The Trap of False Actualization

“You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.” – Bill Waterson, Cartoonist and Creator of Calvin and Hobbes
If you’ve been conditioned over decades to follow linear paths of success, you may be prone to going down a path of achievement that is not your own.
Self-Actualization is not the same as achievement. Achievement is typically defined by external measures and expectations from others.
Self-actualization, on the other hand, is not measured according to the opinions of others. It is becoming your authentic self and realizing the full spectrum of your unique interests and capabilities. The end result of self-actualization may be external success, but that’s an unintended consequence, not the objective.
A child may have natural math ability but not actually enjoy math. Still, their teacher or parents may push them to accelerate further in math simply because they are good at it, or because it’s “necessary for success.”
However, that child may be better off in the long run by pursuing literature and writing if those align with the child’s own subjective view of fulfillment and meaning.
I fell quite easily into the trap of False Actualization, which is defined as the path to success based on others’ expectations of you, but not what you genuinely want for yourself.
I was a straight-A student, went to a great college, built a great career, and made great money.
And then I was miserable. That wasn’t the outcome I expected.
Eventually, I understood why. I had succeeded over and over again at doing things others expected of me, a pattern that had been internalized from a very early age. Truthfully, I didn’t enjoy a lot of the work I did. Still, I suppressed the unhappiness and continued onward.
In colloquial terms, False Actualization means that you’ve climbed to the top of someone else’s ladder.
This happens when smart people in Silicon Valley are hellbent on starting a company because that’s the most prestigious thing one can do. It happens when ladder-climbers are determined to become high-ranking high-paid executives without asking “is this what I truly want?
It’s the continuation of the process of standardizing humans that began early in our lives.
I know about this because I have been one of those ladder climbers. At Wealthfront, I was promoted three times in three years. Had I not had a heart attack scare, I would have been on track to be promoted again to CEO — the fourth time in four years.
This is a high-achiever on auto-pilot. I was on auto-pilot headed toward false actualization. I said yes to each new role because I didn’t want to disappoint others, and the esteem was compelling.
By the end of that long journey, my hierarchy looked like this:

I was held in high regard and proud of myself for what I had accomplished, yet I was emotionally, spiritually, and physically bankrupt.
Because I went through all of this, I discovered that there is a better way of doing things.

Avoid the Path of False Actualization: Find Your Model for Meaning

During a recent trip to Northern Thailand, I met a farmer that was a practicing Buddhist. During our conversation, he said something simple but critically important for anyone searching for meaning.
“Everyone wants to get to Bangkok. The problem is that people try to follow other people’s roads to Bangkok. You must find your own road to Bangkok.”
His catchy metaphor is the antidote to False Actualization. You must spend time carving your own path that provides you with your own internal sense of meaning and fulfillment.
Self-Actualization is the output of finding your own way to Bangkok.
For one person, meaning may come through manual labor that pays the bills enough that their family is well-fed and secure. For another person, meaning may come from ditching the rat race to set out on their own path in life separate from the masses, which is my chosen path. Others derive a great sense of meaning by being part of a once-in-a-generation company doing inspiring work, happy to play a small part in a purpose they wouldn’t be able to fulfill on their own.
The question remains: how do I find my authentic purpose so that I avoid False Actualization?
I’ll share my personal process, which I pulled together from various pieces of spiritual wisdom. It involves the following:
  1. Use Spiritual Autolysis to Examine (and Discard) False Beliefs
  2. Protect the Mind to Avoid Toxic New Beliefs from Entering
  3. Develop a Practice That Provides the Heartbeat for Your Life

Examine (and Discard) False Beliefs

Jed McKenna, the pseudonymous author behind the Spiritual Enlightenment Trilogy, coined the term Spiritual Autolysis. Autolysis in biology means to “digest itself”, so it refers in this context to relentlessly assessing all of your existing beliefs to understand what is true.
Ultimately, this is a process to break down and discard old beliefs that are no longer serving you. As Jed McKenna put it:
"Here's all you need to know to become enlightened: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know. That's it. That's the whole deal - a complete teaching of enlightenment, a complete practice. If you ever have any questions or problems - no matter what the question or problem is - the answer is always exactly the same: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know."
Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements also provides a repeatable method for Spiritual Autolysis. I’ve taken the approach laid out in his book and adapted it to this particular challenge:
  • Understand your beliefs and where they came from
  • Practice eliminating those beliefs
  • Practice adopting new beliefs
  • Try your best every day
To kickstart the autolysis of your beliefs regarding work and building a career, start with the following questions. Pick one, sit down, shut up, and whittle it down until you find what is true.
  • What is the purpose of a career?
  • What does “success” mean in a career?
  • How much does money matter to me and what would I use a lot of money for?
  • Should I work until I die, or should I not?
  • What do I think of the concept of work-life balance?
  • What did my teachers often tell me about careers?
  • What messages did my parents give me about a career?
  • What do careers look like in different parts of the world?
  • What have careers looked like at different points in human history?
  • What role does a career play in my overall life fulfillment?
  • How have my friends influenced my career decisions?
  • How have my bosses influenced my career decisions?
When I went through this process, I underestimated the depths of the delusion I was living.
The financial insecurity I felt as an adult had its origin in the financial insecurity I felt as a child in a low-income family that went through bankruptcy. This realization helped me shed false beliefs still present in my adulthood that I needed to make more money in order to be safe and secure.
Examining, and then discarding, this belief set me free from sacrificing my physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being in pursuit of yet another unnecessary paycheck.
I also realized the insanity that is the American ideal around retirement. It was no longer true to me that the American way was the only way to work.
Japanese wisdom has a different approach known as Ikigai, which roughly translates to “a reason for being.” Retirement has no place within this ancient system for living a fulfilling life. Carriers of Japanese heritage understood that our lives are cut short when we have no reason for being.
Instead of destroying ourselves with overwork until the age of 65 so that we can fall purposelessly into the grave, we can instead find work that satisfies our soul and feels delighted to do so until we take our Big Sleep.
These are just a few of the false truths I was able to deprogram myself away from via Spiritual Autolysis.

Protect the Mind to Avoid Toxic Beliefs From Entering

The second step in my method is about preventing fast food information from entering your mind – which is most of the highly processed information you receive each day. Your mind is already full of many harmful beliefs because you were brought up in a world that indoctrinated you with information before you had awareness and a choice.
Whereas Spiritual Autolysis helps break those beliefs down and get rid of them, this next step is about preventing more bad ideas from taking root in your mind.
The first step I recommend is getting rid of all junk sources of information. Or, if you can’t get rid of them entirely, use whatever tools are available to filter out most of the noise.
For me, that meant all non-work social media and cable TV news had to go. Unless I can hear directly from the source, I ignore the information. Once you’ve limited the firehose of junk food information, continue to listen critically to everything that you hear.
There’s a reason I only follow just a few accounts on Twitter. One is an account that posts pictures of dogs, the other is a non-profit that I’m on the board of that helps military veterans, and another is Mike Tyson, who has undergone one of the most beautiful spiritual and emotional transformations in recent history.
I try to ignore everything else because, at best, it’s second-hand information. The vast majority of public information has been rinsed, washed, and processed as much as the American diet. To understand what is true for you, you need to create enough space to listen and observe for yourself. Most of what we consume is the noise that prevents us from accessing that signal.

Develop a Practice That Provides the Heartbeat for Your Life

The life you envision for yourself doesn’t happen because you think hard enough about it. The life you desire unfolds as the result of daily practice.
As the psychotherapist Eric Fromm once said, “The first step to take is to become aware that love is an art, just as living is an art... we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art, say music, painting, carpentry, or the art of medicine or engineering."
I implemented two types of practices in my life. I call them Type 1 and Type 2 Changes.
Type 1 Changes refer to the primary pillars of your life: where you live, the type of work you do, your friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships, diet and exercise, sleep, and any other major affiliations such as a religious practice. These are big rocks where new practices may need to be established.
Type 2 Changes are the small rocks. These are the incidentals that fill out a daily routine, such as the use of a meditation app for a brief morning meditation, fitness trackers to count daily steps, etc.
Most people who are hungry for a change in their life tend to dabble in Type 2 Changes while avoiding Type 1 Changes. This is another big trap.
Type 1 Changes have made the largest and most sustained impact on my sense of peace and fulfillment.
I moved away from a stressful city. I quit a stressful and unfulfilling career. I dropped old friends that were not supportive of my new life direction. I picked up participation in a 12-steps program so that I could be around others that were working hard to transform themselves. And now I’ve shifted my career focus to helping others after stockpiling enough savings from my prior work.
I also use Type 2 tools. I have a habit tracker app that helps me stick to a daily routine to log exercise, sugar, and processed food consumption, morning meditations, nighttime journaling, and pleasure reading.
Both types of change are part of my practice. Some are small, daily patterns. Others are monolithic shifts. The magic is found in the combination of both and you must be willing to combine both types of changes if you want a substantial and lasting shift in your overall sense of well-being.

Make Your Next Move

If you already feel in alignment and fulfilled by your current life, keep it up!
But if you’re nodding along while reading, or feeling the ping that something’s not quite right, it may be time for you to listen inward.
Take the sabbatical you’ve been putting off over and over again. Carve out time in your schedule to do the creative project that you’ve put on the back burner. Stop seeking career advice from others. Talk to people that live very different lives than you do. Travel to parts of the world where making a lot of money and having high-profile careers aren’t part of the cultural lexicon. Don’t stop until you discover your own road to Bangkok.
Charles Bukowski captured the spirit of this best when he said, “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

2023.06.07 22:00 camilo16 Why is qualia seriously considered as a theory?

I learned about this concept recently on Reddit and I am so baffled by it that I feel both wikipedia and the person I was talking to must not have been able to convey what it means because it sounds ridiculous to me.
My understanding is that "qualia" broadly refers to the idea that subjective experiences, e.g. the subjective perception of the color red (distinct from the wavelength of light that produces that perception) are irreducible to the natural laws.
The example I was given is that of a neuroscientist who lives their entire life in a perfectly white room and never sees red. They read everything there is to know about light, the brain, the eyes... But this knowledge is insufficient for them to replicate the subjective experience of redness.
All of this sounds like... Nonsense? First we know for a fact that all subjective experiences are subject to material conditions. You cannot see without eyeballs, if your afferent nerves are damaged you cannot feel touch anymore on that region of your body, etc... So if you just think about it for two seconds, you cannot dissociate subjective experiences from material organs that are needed to perceive in the first place.
Moreover, I don't know what the subjective experience of feeling electromagnetism is like. But I know it exists because sharks have specialized organs for it so they must feel something.
Going back to the neuroscientist in the room. Yes, of course reading books on light won't allow him to experience redness. He is engaging with linguistic information encodes as characters on a page. The part of his brain capable of experiencing redness is completely separate from the part of his brain that can parse and understand language. He is not using the part of his brain capable of experiencing that subjective experience, of course he doesn't understand it. That doesn't mean that subjective experience is not a direct consequence of emergent processes in the brain fully explainable by a sufficiently complex mathematical model.
The concept just seems so ignorant to me... Am I just not understanding something?

Is this a good buy?
Hey everyone, I'm new to this community and I wanted to get your opinion on something. Currently, I drive a beat-up 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback with 255,000 miles, but I've been considering upgrading to a WRX hatch. I really value your opinions, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I'm looking at a 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX base model. It has 98,000 miles on it, with a rebuilt engine with 1,000 miles and a one-year warranty. The listed price is $18,995.

During the test drive, the car performed well, and I enjoyed the experience. It is really clean cosmetically inside and out and handles really well. However, I have some concerns regarding the engine rebuild and the overall reliability and maintenance of the vehicle. It's worth mentioning that I don't have any plans for racing or heavy modifications; I simply want a fun and inexpensive commuter car (similar to my Mazda 3).

According to the dealership, the engine rebuild was conducted by Underground Performance in Orem, Utah (I've attached an invoice for your reference). They mentioned that the car had experienced ringland failure. Additionally, the car has had three previous owners and is mostly stock except for an aftermarket exhaust.

I've always dreamed about owning one of these cars. However, my dad and I don't know much about this particular car or performance mechanics in general (we usually handle basic mechanics ourselves). We're worried that the reliability of this vehicle might pose a significant risk, especially considering that future mechanical work may not be something we can do ourselves. I'm starting to have doubts, especially after reading about common problems and the horrible experiences some people have had. What are your thoughts on this? Would purchasing this car be a bad decision? Is there any else I should be checking or expecting? Thank you in advance for your help.

2023.06.07 21:58 totallywhatever Hiring VFX artist for 3D head modeling/tracking/compositing

Hey, all,
I'm looking to hire somebody to work on an indie film I'm editing. The shot in question is just under 20 seconds long, but the portion of it that needs VFX is 131 frames (5 seconds 11 frames).
The effect we're going for is to have our actor appear to be carrying his own decapitated head, and then tossing it aside.
Budget allocated for this is $2K. Please DM me a link to your portfolio/reel/website and I will be in touch.
Thanks!

Exploring the 16″ MacBook Pro 2019: A Powerful Laptop for Work and Play
Are you in the market for a new laptop that offers exceptional power and versatility? Look no further than the 16″ MacBook Pro 2019 model. In this blog post, we will explore the pros and cons of this laptop, taking into account its value, usability, and durability, all explained in a way that’s easy to understand
Pros
Really Fast: The 16″ MacBook Pro 2019 can handle lots of things at the same time without slowing down. It’s great for tasks like editing videos or working on big projects. You won’t have to wait for things to load or for the laptop to catch up with you. Beautiful Screen: The laptop has a really clear and colorful display, so everything on it looks nice and detailed. It’s great for watching movies, looking at photos, or doing work. The colors are vibrant, and the images are sharp and lifelike, making everything on the screen more enjoyable to look at. Easy to Use: The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and there’s a special touch bar that helps you do things faster. It’s designed to make it easy for you to use the laptop and find what you need. The touch bar is like a mini touchscreen above the keyboard that shows different options depending on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re editing photos, it can show you editing tools so you can make changes with just a tap. Lasts a Long Time: The laptop’s battery stays charged for a long time, so you can use it for hours without needing to plug it in. It’s handy when you’re on the go or don’t have access to a power outlet. You won’t have to worry about finding a charger all the time, which gives you more freedom to use your laptop wherever you want.
Cons
Learning Curve: If you’re not used to Apple products, it might take a little time to get used to how things work on the MacBook Pro. The operating system, called macOS, might be different from what you’re used to. However, once you become familiar with it, you’ll find it easy to use and navigate. There are many resources available online, including tutorials and guides, to help you get started and make the most of your MacBook Pro. Can’t Customize Much: You can’t change a lot of things about the laptop, so it’s important to choose the right one when you buy it. Think about what you need before making a decision. Some Keyboard Issues: Some people have had problems with the keys getting stuck or not working properly. However, Apple has made improvements in the 2019 model to fix these problems. In conclusion, the 16″ MacBook Pro 2019 is a really good laptop that’s fast and easy to use. It has a great screen and the battery lasts a long time. Even though there might be a slight learning curve if you’re new to Apple products, once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that it offers a user-friendly experience. The MacBook Pro is a reliable and powerful device that can handle your everyday tasks with ease, making it a great choice for work, school, or entertainment.

2023.06.07 21:58 Joadzilla Portugal just launched a ‘government-funded’ 4-day workweek trial

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/06/portugal-just-launched-a-government-funded-4-day-workweek-trial.html
Portugal is the latest country to experiment with a four-day workweek, and businesses are getting an assist from the government.
For the next six months, 39 private-sector businesses in the country will participate in a “government-funded” pilot program in partnership with 4 Day Week Global, the nonprofit behind several prominent four-day workweek experiments around the world, according to a release from the group.
Employers have agreed to reduce the number of hours employees work every week from without cutting their pay through the 100-80-100 model: Workers get 100% of the pay for working 80% of the time in exchange for delivering 100% of their usual output.
Some 72% of the Portuguese labor force works more than 40 hours per week, making it the OECD country with the third-longest average workweek after the United Kingdom and Ireland, according to a report from University of London and University of Reading researchers overseeing the program.
Most of the businesses in the experiment are in the professional, scientific and technical fields, but the program’s cohort also includes a nursery, care home, stem cells bank, research and development center, and firms from manufacturing, retail and nonprofit sectors.
Businesses say they want to see if a shortened workweek will help reduce employee stress and burnout, and in turn improve worker retention. Researchers also hope to track the economic, social and environmental implications of a four-day business week in Portugal.
4 Day Week Global has led several high-profile experiments around the world, which have gained momentum throughout the pandemic as businesses and employees began to re-think the modern work experience.
A trial in the U.S. last year proved to be wildly popular, with workers reporting they performed better and were less burned out. Many said they could never return to a traditional five-day week, or at least not without a significant pay bump. Employers benefited, too: Businesses reported an 8% increase in revenue throughout the trial period, and a 38% increase from the same time period a year prior.
4 Day Week Global’s largest experiment to date included nearly 3,000 workers throughout the U.K. last year, with participants reporting better health, finances and relationships.
Although no country has fully adopted a four-day workweek, trials have run in South Africa, Belgium, Iceland, Japan and elsewhere.
Portugal has become a popular destination for American millennials looking to relocate internationally thanks to its affordable living and good weather. The number of Americans residing in Portugal is at its highest level in more than a decade, according to the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service. There were about 7,000 Americans living in the country at the end of 2021, more than double three years earlier.
And the country launched its own digital nomad visa last year, making it even easier for workers from any countries that aren’t part of the European Union or European Economic Area to start a new life abroad.

2023.06.07 21:56 derfner Where can I get a pair of flip flops made?

I hope this is the right place to post this question; if not, just let me know and I'll remove right away.
Ten or fifteen years ago I bought a pair of flip flops that were perfect. Just perfect.
They have finally reached the end of their long and fulfilling life, and I'm looking to replace them. But I try pair after pair and they're just not the same. The problem is that the nylon toe posts of the perfect flip flops are incredibly thin and I don't feel the between my toes at all, and I love that. Every single pair I've tried has toe posts too thick for me to ignore. I called the company (Reef) but they said that if I didn't have the name of the model they couldn't help me. I went to a cobbler and he said that I needed to go to a shoemaker.
So here's my question: where do I go to get a pair of flip flops made?
These were not expensive flip flops—probably $20 or $25 a decade ago—the sole seems to be rubber, and the toe post and other fabric is nylon.
Can anybody give me any ideas?

LBC.v CEO Interview
LBC.v LBCMF is playing a strategic role in the creation of the new green industry future in Colombia that emphasises access to dependable and responsible copper.
Their Mocoa deposit's inferred resource that contains over 2M tonnes of copper is an integral part of the success of Green Route Alliance in Columbia.
They recently partnered w/ Anglo Asian Mining PLC for the initial design, engineering, and financial modelling of the Mocoa Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum deposit to outline and confirm a development opportunity for an accelerated pathway to production.
This interview w/ the CEO goes over everything from his thoughts on the copper market, their partnership w/ the Colombian government, to upcoming catalysts.

2023.06.07 21:55 trickytaco2 Not sure whether to sell my sedan and replace with a wrangler or just get a cheap wrangler as a 2nd vehicle

I currently have a 4 year old sedan. It is pretty reliable, has good mileage and hasn’t given me any problems. However, this good weather is temping me to get a wrangler. I have been going back and forth between getting a cheap wrangler for around $5-7k as a second vehicle to drive around when it is nice out or just sell my sedan and get a newer wrangler. If I sold my sedan I would probably net $15k after paying off my auto loan.
On one hand, keeping my sedan and having a cheap wrangler to drive around for fun would be ideal because I could have the best of both worlds. I don’t really care if it has bells and whistles if it’s just my fun car. The main concern here is that I would be purchasing someone’s problem. For $5-7k i would be buying a 90s or maybe early 2000s model and I love the look of those. The ones I have seen are in the high 100k miles or 200k+. I don’t want to buy a money pit.
If I sold my sedan and got a little newer of a wrangler I would likely try and get a 4 door, ideally 2015 (but I am not set on this). The used one in this category are generally almost at 100k miles to 150k miles. I am not familiar enough to know whether that is when they start having problems or not.
That is basically as far as I have gotten in the decision process. Any thoughts or input would be helpful.
I have heard that most wranglers have more problems than the average car. What could I expect to spend on either of those options in the next 3-5 years?
