Oftentimes it's undiagnosed health issues, such as vitamin deficiencies and/or malabsorption conditions such as gluten intolerance preventing proper vitamin levels, that can present much like "inexplicable" burnout, imho.

> As long as it is in the normal range for your sex and age, you're fine even if your ferritin remains at 0.

This is simply wrong when one considers that iron has many bodily functions outside of hemoglobin, such as acting as a cofactor in tyrosine hydroxylase for dopamine synthesis.

I've read some of your stuff over the years and was appreciative of its accessibility.

The above is another example I appreciate: the authors charge for physical copies and complete documents but generally make the work content available for free. I've bought a physical copy in that case because I really valued the work.

I agree with the cognitive premise unfortunately. But even so, I start to speculate about solving this by DIY book printing, or advances in digital reading technology (mostly I'm interested in the latter, for example, means of "spatializing" the flat screen experience, and reducing latency to a minimum)

In most cases that is also true, although in rare cases I will buy physical copies of certain books for that reason.

I have a hard time cognitively justifying most physical book purchasing anyways when internet shadow libraries have most of what I want to read.

Reminds me of how startups now will change their social proof marquee on the landing page from actual testimonials, to "trusted by XYZ", to just one composed of company logos (with the level of corporate engagement to be imagined up by the viewer)

‘At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production, or this may express the same thing in legal terms - with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetter. Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the economic foundation leads sooner or later to the transformation of the whole immense superstructure.’

People salivate so hard at the thought of the high level of automation promised that they're willing to do away with privacy altogether and live in Data Communism.

My thinking is, this will increase the demand for backup and other resilience solutions.

Not really, personally... time waits for no one.

This is awesome! In the past I would use the promise of starlink or other LEO internet as a tiebreaker for booking flights and was disappointed a few times (as clearly not all of the airframes for an airline have the capability)

I found it absurdly slow yesterday.

I don't know much about UL but I can say that FCC certification (also technically required) for electronics can range from about $3k to something like $30k depending on what you're doing.

($3k would be for "unintentional radiator" device, i.e., not supposed to be a radio, $30k would be for "intentional radiator" device, i.e., supposed to be a radio)
