Hi, great to see you here on mastodon!
I listened to many MoneroTalk episodes, appreciate them a lot, very interesting stuff.
I think it would be good to link to https://www.monerotalk.live/ here also, for those (like me) who want to avoid youtube.

@davbjo bra förslag men jag tycker nog att 50 miljoner kundre räcka. Kan kompensera det med att man får ett ännu finare diplom, kanske med guldkant och ett personligt grattis och underskift av kungen eller Greta eller nån.
@samuel Karlstad University is on the list!

So I guess the answer would be that to persuade someone, instead of trying to tell them how things are, one should try to nudge them into a situation where they are likely to discover things for themselves.
Not sure exactly how, but something like that, I think.
It's like Morpheus says to Neo in the movie:
"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

@lispi314 it's frustrating but I think somehow this is the kind of thing that you cannot be told by someone else, instead you must discover it for yourself in some way.
I have tried to remember how it was for me personally, but I cannot pinpoint when I started understanding and caring about these things. But I'm pretty sure it was not that somebody told me, it was more like I started to think about things on my own.

@tschaefer suppose I work for an internet service provider (ISP). Do you have any advice on what an ISP should be doing to help IPv6 adoption? I have the impression that everybody is blaming others for the slow adoption, it's always someone else's fault and therefore little gets done. If an individual ISP were to look at its own part, what should the ISP do?
The fact that what you are saying is very important makes it even more difficult to persuade them, because the consequences of you being right would be too heavy, too hard to take in.
They would need to accept that their way of life is stupid and that they need to fundamentally change. Nobody wants to change, it's so much easier to keep living as usual.
I'm not sure if I managed to explain this, but do you see roughly what I mean?

> Why?
It's an interesting and important question.
I don't think it's that it's too abstract as you suggested, I think it's more about that what you are telling them, it they accepted it, would be such a huge change in their world view.
We humans have a very strong tendency to stick to our beliefs. When confronted with something that turns our world upside down we do almost anything to avoid our worldview collapsing. It's like being told you live in the matrix.

@w96k Learn C first. Because C++ is also C. 🙂

Attempt at networking post!
Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc
I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics
I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.
I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx
Please boost 😀
@nenne@mastodon.nu hur gick det med insändaren?
@fantomtexter ah, vilken besvikelse.
Tyvärr måste jag meddela att det dessutom är så att när någon är drogfri betyder det INTE att hen är fri att ta vilka droger hen vill.
@Nodami @smallcircles @DrPen @EU_Commission
Note also that the "download the ticket to a smartphone" part most often means you must surrender to either Google or Apple. If you do not want to be a Apple/Google customer, then you cannot buy a ticket. To be free is not an option if you want to get a ticket.

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."
Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.
