This is precisely the arrogant ignorance that led to the British Navy's shame with Camperdown and Victoria and then the weak showing at Jutland.

Real soldiers have respect for their adversary and since they practice war in war games, they know that no adversary can be discounted. In particular intelligence and willpower count for far more than weaponry. The film Avatar is another good example of how arrogance about the adversary led to defeat.

The enemy that you need to fear is the one who is not afraid to suffer pain and loss. Like the Soviet Union in WWI for instance. Or Syria's Army nowadays.

I've actually experienced this exact thing. Usually a refresh fixes it for me so I never gave it too much thought. I'm not sure what causes it exactly but I'll follow up with the team about it. It usually happens to me on merge requests -- do you notice it on specific pages at all?
My understanding is that Qualcomm would allow Samsung to do whatever it wants if they paid a high enough fee. Sounds like the fee is to high for the US market at least. Afaik Samsung does ship some chips for the other markets.

Just because Samsung could earn a higher profit using their own chips, doesn't mean that Qualcomm should license it at that price. They could in theory compete on quality, or power at a higher price tier. Nothing in FRAND indicates that you should let competitors maximize their profits.

> is it just an available option that you don't usually bother to exercise?

Even if I don't exercise it at a particular time, so what? Why should I be forced to interact when I don't want to? That just keeps me from exercising some other option that would have more value to me at that particular time.
I have a nexdock; an HDMI screen, bluetooth keyboard + trackpad, webcam, USB hub, and battery - with no CPU. It's intended to work with continuum/handover compatible phones, compute sticks, or raspberry pi like devices. Something like MaruOS would be an even better option in my mind.

And yet, then I think why would I bother carrying a laptop-minus-cpu plus a phone with desktop ability when I could just do what I currently do and carry a phone and a full laptop? I can see this brings a bit of flexibility, and my files/config would always be on my person, etc. But we have global and close-enough-to ubiquitous internet now - isn't that sufficient or even better?

I guess I just don't get the use case. Or maybe I get the use case(s) but not the business case.

As you get older, a few things happen.

First, as your eyes lose the ability to focus (which is a gradual process, not a step change), you find that over time you need more and more lenses: one for objects at 18 inches (your laptop), one for objects at 24 inches (your monitor), etc. You don't always have the proper lenses at hand when you need them.

Second, all the transparent bits of the eyes slowly become less transparent with time. Some problems (cataracts for instance) can be fixed with surgery; others would require replacing the entire eyeball.

Third, a number of unlucky people develop problems with their retinas, which may or may not be fixable, and the fixes rarely leave the retina in as good a shape as it was when it was younger.

So "wear corrective lenses" is not a bad suggestion, but if web designers are targeting older people, they need to assume the the reader's eyes are not what they once were, and that there may not be much that the reader can do about it.

I'm currently in a similar situation about what to do with an elderly relative with dementia who is currently in limbo after the last relative taking care of him died. The best moral option is to take guardianship and look after him. The best financial decision is to "divorce" from the situation and let the state take care of him so I have a chance of my wife and I being able to retire and saving for the kid's education expenses.

It's a crazy system the U.S. has.

I know Spanner uses atomic clocks to get tight time bounds on transactions. Since CockroachDB doesn't use atomic clocks they have to use a slightly different approach:

"While Spanner provides linearizability, CockroachDB’s external consistency guarantee is by default only serializability, though with some features that can help bridge the gap in practice."

"A simple statement of the contrast between Spanner and CockroachDB would be: Spanner always waits on writes for a short interval, whereas CockroachDB sometimes waits on reads for a longer interval."

Stored procedures offer no inherent protection.
Spending the last years of your life worrying about how you will make ends meet is not an appealing option. Of course, if you set an end date for your lifetime, you can better plan ahead, but I have only known one person who voluntarily followed through on that plan, and it was a lifestyle choice with its own downsides.

There is an inherent asymmetry between living somewhat more frugally and dying in poverty.
The core idea here is great. I've often wanted to contribute to Gnome projects but have been more than slightly put off by having to learn their ecosystem of tooling/hosting on top of already having to learn how their projects are used together, built, etc.

Hosting on a git based system will lead to more people discovering and reading the code and ultimately contributing. This benefits everyone. Gnome has truly excellent projects and the more people work on them the better we have it.

However, this is one case where being a curmudgeon about being hosted on an open platform will shunt the possible growth of contributors.

Please use github instead.
> so why does it point the finger at globalization? just like immigration, attacking people in far-flung countries spares us a painful inward reckoning.

I wonder whether MBA students learn about the Coase theorem, for which there's abundant empirical evidence. It seems to me that deliberate attempts to shirk the costs of externalities are little more than the 'conspiracy to defraud the publick' that Adam Smith famously mentioned.

Depends where you define Asia as. Saudi Arabia plays in the Asian conference in FIFA, but so does Australia. Australian and Saudi values differ ever so slightly :)

This idea is definitely more acceptable than it is in the west in all the world. Africa. Asia. Middle East. Maybe not South America, but even there it would be more acceptable than it is in say Norway.

As for the absolute level of acceptability in each area or country, that is hard to work out, especially in Asia where saving face means something can be unacceptable in theory, but practiced quasi-openly, as in the example of the article, where Lola was an open secret in the guys family.
It's hard to imagine they'll build bigger versions that the 70,000 kg one. They are way behind schedule on the first version, and still don't have a compelling mission commitment.

There is no doubt they could send some pretty large payloads to Mars with the SLS, esp. the later block designs. The question is whether congress is going to commit to the tens of billions to build those designs and actually launch manned missions to other planets or the moon with them.

There are two tracks in America. On one track are people with almost no net worth who will depend on social security and their homes, if they own one, for retirement savings.

The other track is people who actually read articles about retirement savings. They are a smaller group, often getting the advice meant for the former. They constantly hear that Americans don't save enough for retirement. The financial industry is constantly saying people aren't saving enough, in media venues that appeal to the affluent who don't really need that advice. But the more those affluent invest the more commissions they collect. So they stoke the anxiety to those who shouldn't feel anxious.

(Edit: never mind. I think there's some mistake in your chronology that renders my numbers invalid. Died at 84 in 2017 == born in 1933. Retired in 1988 at age 55, probably not after 60 years at XOM, more like 30; or retired after 60 years, probably more like 1933+18+60=2011. Guessing maybe he retired at age 60 in 1993? Got sick at 72 in 2005? Died at 84? The numbers change a bit--missed out some big gains in 1988 and 1989, hit the flat 2000s, and probably got creamed by having to cash a lot out during 2008 crash.)

What I was going to post based on your original report of retiring in 1988 with $3M (keeping it for illustrative purposes):

He must have sold the stock when he retired to buy that house and those cars. Had he kept it in XOM, his $3 million would have been worth $22 million today, with a dividend that would have covered his expenses and that kept pace with inflation.

Not that keeping your nest egg in a single stock would have been advisable, but the S&P return for that would have been comparable.

Some sites have "don't be scared" text, which some users might actually read. For instance: "Once you push this button, you will have another chance to review your order before it is submitted". Or when appropriate, a "be scared" warning: "Once you push this button, your order will be submitted, and it cannot be cancelled".

If you are targeting older users, keep in mind that many of them are accustomed to reading text, and would prefer a couple of explanatory sentences to a semi-mysterious icon.

Preetam here, founder and lead developer of Maru.

Thank you for all the critical feedback on security in this thread. Maru used to ship with sshd disabled [0] but it was enabled because of all the requests I was getting from users who wanted to run the system headless without needing an HDMI display and BT keyboard/mouse around to set sshd up. I assumed that users would change the default password after the initial login, but as many of you have pointed out, hope is not a strategy when it comes to security. I've opened up an issue [1] to fix this.

Please feel free to open up issues (or, even better, PRs!) at any time if you have further suggestions for improvement. It's thanks to feedback like this that Maru continues to move onwards and upwards.

A land value tax would be far better than either an estate tax or a real-estate property tax. It is only assessed against the unimproved value of the ground one has enclosed and excluded others from occupying, and not against the value of improvements which have been constructed and maintained.

While the consequences of non-payment would also be forced sale, it is possible for residents to petition and sue the to assessor's office in order to reassess the value and obtain deferments, and the owners are still compenseated for the value of any real property located on the site. This is more just than an income tax, as failure to pay could never result in imprisonment.

Additionally, it would lead to far lower cost of housing, mortgages, and rent. This means less savings and income would have to be allocated toward acquiring the house in the first place. It would also be more just to those who are not wealthy enough to buy a house outright, and must instead rent or obtain a mortgage.

When spending on public services increases the land values and attractiveness of the location for which these services apply, and is financed via taxes on labor rather than taxes on land, this subsidizes land holders and banks invested in mortgages by allowing them to charge higher rent for housing.

I feel the opposite way. This sort of thing rarely happens in the west, but quite openly happens in other places, and that fact makes me want to help fix the inequities in OTHER countries that cause this, not tear down my own country.

Specifically (and proselytizing to a degree) it makes me more determined to give a significant portion of my income to https://www.givedirectly.org/basic-income so that at least some of the poorest people on the planet can be empowered to make their own choices.

Get a bag.

My family have two cars. We have two kids. Somehow we manage to do all stuff you are moaning about using a bag. I think your argument boils down to how much effort are you willing to do to save some cash. For you storing a few books in the car is worth $500 a year to you. For most of us we'd take that $500 and buy a bag.

I'm sure if we're all sharing cars you'll be able to order one with a child seat. And why wouldn't they have complimentary wet wipes and all the other stuff? Books, iPad, whatever.

Hammocks are not a problem for the back just so long as there is sufficient tension in the strings and that the hammock does not hang too low. You sleep with your feet up - good after a day on your feet - and, because your body weight pulls the hammock straight, you have a very well supported and straight back.

Once in a hammock there is no 'swaying', the feeling is more like being in a flotation tank. If you have enough duvet, pillows, blankets and the like you can sleep in other positions and move with relative ease.

I badly pulled a calf muscle once and spent a fortnight getting back to strength, given the option of a normal double bed or a hammock slung above, I found at the hammock provided me with the sleep I could not get in the normal bed below.

Sadly I had to move from that attic room and I lost the anchor points needed for the hammock. I believe a hammock offers better support and comfort for a back.
People used to run out of money all the time when they were old. A hundred years ago in America most elderly were very poor and taken care of by their families. Now poverty is more concentrated in homes with young children. That sounds more comfortable to me, as an adult professional, but is it better for society?
It's like ... slavery-lite. Fundamentally what's the difference between Lola's role and a common role of a wife a hundred years ago?* And second – a dangerous question – is it necessarily wrong? I ask not to lead one to believe to think that it isn't, certainly there are aspects which are unquestionable immoral, but is there room for such a social construct? More importantly, answering why not in a robust way could make the societal goal of maximizing each individual's personal freedom a little closer.

> An argument could be made that the entire capitalist system is built upon uncompensated labor.

In isolation, I think I can agree with that. But in context you seem to be making a moral point using "slavery" as a jumping-off point to an economic argument.

Needless to say, slavery isn't well-defined by "compensation". That whole "freedom" angle tends to be more important to most people.
we could as a society pay (women) people for emotional labor and for taking care of children and elderly. we could choose to economically value teachers and nurses instead of economically devaluing "feminine" roles -- and creating economic value specifically for masculine-branded roles. (those moments when piloting and programming became branded and $$ as male professions)

in order to end professional segregation, we need not end capitalism so much as the patriarchy. we could redefine "masculinity" as cooking for one"s family, providing emotional support, and other domestic labor -- and stop assuming women need to do it or that a "masculine" worker's time is too important for doing their own laundry or their own dishes.

it's complicated, and testosterone may even be a disability in a sense, but many of the differences between genders are not biological so much as social constructs that re-enforce constructed economic inequality.

we can stop accepting and propagating a narrow status quo.
