Riesling

learning to morse

As I am living an almost mouse free life, automatically setting the input focus at the window (or input field) that I am currently looking on, would be a very nice comfort feature.

Last time I researched this, I could not find a solution, that works on Linux and also has widescreen support.

Will definitely check out this python package.

Inflation of specific asset prices is also playing into this. Money is losing its value. Try buying a house with a regular wage nowadays. Politicians, central banks and economic experts are sleeping at the helm.

Ironically I could not finish this article.

Here is the one thing, that works for me, if I must read a text:

While reading I use a Text-To-Speech-Engine to read out the text at the same time. TTS-reading speed should be at least 1.5x. It should not be too easy to keep up.

I have no explanation why this works, but it does. Maybe someone else with ADHD finds it useful.

This was different. They tried DST all year around. Russia also tried this in 2014 and also failed.

I suspect a connection with the intestinal flora. Bacteria in the intestinal flora are able to synthesize all kinds of neurotransmitters from carbohydrates.

I myself become very lethargic under a normal carbohydrate-containing diet. On low carb I have a lot of motivation and a lot of energy.

As a night owl (wich most people actually are), Standard Time all year around would be best for you, from a biological stand point at least.

Sorry for being imprecise, but I actually meant Standard Time (as in noon at about 12pm). Our circadian rhythms are not as flexible as many people think. There are many studies showing that people sleep less if the sun sets later, causing a net sleep loss with related health problems.

> because people have little control over when their day starts.

This is actually one of the best arguments for standard time all year around!

If we force people to start the day at a specific time, we have the obligation, that for as many people possible, this time will be in sync with their circadian rhythm. And this can be guaranteed best with standard time.

No, it does not make any sense!

It forces the majority of the population to live with a constant mini jet-lag. It causes productivity loss and many health issues.

There are no chrono-biologists advocating DST (or constant summer time) over standard!

I hope Germans also reconsider and start listening to the scientists!

This is again one of those issues where people voted against their own interests, because they associate summer with warmth + light and winter with cold + darkness.

You didn't happen to have a short position on Tesla when the infamous 420 tweet happened?

> clearly rape isn't such a big evolutionary disadvantage that no species exist with this trait.

If different species (with different evolutionary strategies) also have different moralities, would this not be a strong hint towards morality being based on evolution?

Two additional quotes from Bezos himself:

> "If you double the number of experiments you do per year you’re going to double your inventiveness."

> "If you decide that you’re going to do only the things you know are going to work, you’re going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table."

> Can’t you see that your happiness is dependent on none other than yourself?

I agree with that but differ from your conclusion. I think it is our responsibility to keep looking until we find what makes us happy.
