I do 10k miles a year, the range on my car is about 90 miles effective in the summer and 70 in the winter. I charge fully every 2-3 days and top up on long journeys over 60/70 miles using the motorway chargepoints.

My bills have not really shifted - there may be an increase as the battery becomes less effective, and as winter sets in - but I'm due a new car in 8 months - as the pcp deal I have runs out then.
Until we all learn chip design and have in-home fabs, establishing trust from the ground up is impossible. It's correct to pursue a trusted stack, but it isn't incorrect to consider auditing that stack from an external trust anchor.
TL;DR:

- the 2nd stage with passive graphite divertor tiles ready to fire up plasma tests again

- now temperatures of 70m centigrade for the ions possible, vs. 10m for the 1st stage tests

- operation of up to 10 sec next

- 3rd stage planned for 2 years after is supposed to prove operation for up to 30 sec

haha !! That's why I never installed messenger or their app. They forced me in different ways to install, but I never did :)
Prosperity gospel is very popular in Brazil, in fact many politicians are now paying lip service for churches of this kind. Some of the largest new churches in Brazil are prosperity gospel churches, like the IURD of Edir Macedo, the richest Brazilian pastor according to Forbes, and owner of a bank and the 2nd largest (secular) TV network.
Thanks for the information! Good luck with the project!
"clean natural gas" should read as "slightly less dirty" but it would be much less dirty to leave it in the ground, as both raw and burned it is a greenhouse gas, and I'm pretty sure liquifying and transporting it is definitely energy intensive (and thus dirty) .

I could point for each bullet point in your minux link how structuring your code like a microkernel (and a debug/instrumented build) solves the same problems, but I'm to tired to bother.

Lets just say, that in two decades of writing drivers and OS internals, i've shifted my opinions away from being a strong micro-kernel advocate toward a hybrid approach similar to what NT does.

Also, per you last link, i'm still one of the people who think virtualization and non zero copy syscalls adds too much overhead. Burning up 100% of a core to copy packets between userspace, the kernel, and then DMA'ing them to the device is pointlessly slow. Adding in a copies between kernel subsystems is worse and can't be avoided as easily as something like the NT registered I/O model. There are whole projects (dpdk for example) for which that single context switch/copy is to much too.
What are the special situations where 1 gives way to 5? The well-regulated part would imply to me that the possibility of slipping to another situation are eliminated or not allowed.

Is the goal changing someone's mind? Or is it making the site hospitable to more users?

Reddit doesn't care what people think, but it sure seems to care how many people are willing to use the site.
You don't have to put the computer in the right orbit, you have to put yourself into the right orbit. Your time goes slower, so it gives the computer outside more time to work.

Does this kind of nitpicking actually invalidate the argument? Use sexual assault if you prefer. The point is that a behavior being natural or instinctual doesn't make it moral or desirable.

The EU's worst nightmare is a successful UK post-Brexit. The general feeling amongst my friends and colleagues is that we are more than willing to put in the hard graft to make it happen. Anyone that thinks the UK will roll over is going to be disappointed.
I mentioned modern democracy. I'd have serious trouble considering those to be modern democracies at the time. Universal suffrage seems like a minimum requirement.
I think the usual formula is maybe 1-3x earnings for small businesses (under 250k annuall, maybe 3-5x for a really reliable income stream or a record of growth. Yours might be at the lower end since you rely on a traditionally fickle income stream like advertising, which seems to be on the decline.
It seems you're on the right track. Using a postmarketOS is your only option, but depends very much on the device you have and whether the community is supporting it.
The danger in this contrived scenario is still the human driver, who is distracted and careening down the road.

If all the cars were autonomous, it would more likely to be a matter of frustration than safety: the gnome causes a traffic jam because the cars won't endanger the passenger by driving into the opposing lane. Then what? They find an alternate route? They automatically call in a service crew to clear the road? Not the end of the world.
For every 1C degrees increase in atmospheric temperature, the air can hold 7% more moisture. While not proven, it's a sound theory that more CO2 in the atmosphere allows hurricanes to absorb more energy from oceans (which themselves are warming, creating a positive feedback cycle; warmer water fuels hurricanes).
Same boat here, I greatly prefer Square Cash (money goes directly between checking accounts so there is no second step to empty your balance), but the network effects of Venmo are too strong at this point. The all-transactions-private setting is easy to turn on.
> but with no access to the DOM

There will be access to the DOM, but even without it, WebAssembly is still useful.

You compile libraries that are performance sensitive, you use them from you JS code, and voilà, you have the best of both words : the flexibility and DOM access with JS, and the speed of compiled code with wasm.
I got rid of my phone ~2 years ago and I feel the same way about that decision
> My challenge to a community that includes "hacker" in its name is to consider picking up the radio hobby.

You hit the nail on the head here. I've been fooling around with computer programming for over a decade now (since I was in Jr. High), and Arduinos and Raspberry Pis as long as they have been available, but I never put much thought into ham radio. Most of the makers I know go straight to pre-made WiFi or Bluetooth modules when the time comes to make their projects work wirelessly - accepting their limitations while overlooking much simpler solutions which can be achieved though RF and a little bit of know-how. In hindsight, I wish I had learned about ham radio much sooner.

There is a massive schism between the ham community and the hacker community which doesn't make much sense to me. They are both very much interested in finding novel solutions to problems and sharing them with the community, doing more with less, placing value in decentralization, and have a similar sort of independent counter-culture and grounded respect for technology.

I think it is simply a problem of awareness. Before I got into ham radio, I assumed that the FCC simply allocated a tiny bucket of useless spectrum for amateur use, and that it's practical utility was quite limited. I didn't know that amateurs had access to bands all the way across the spectrum, that they are allowed to transmit at 1500 watts, that they could talk directly to the ISS, or make use of satellite repeaters and reach across oceans with a walkie talkie. On the HF bands, ham radio makes international communication possible without any middleman, subscription fee, or infrastructure. It is also a godsend for people launching weather balloons, allows you to build some incredibly badass RC craft, and can serve as the backbone of all sorts of other fascinating endeavors.

I think the schism is generational. The maker movement is composed largely of kids who grew up with the Internet, and really took off with social media and web 2.0, while the ham community is composed of a large body of people who came of age and mastered their craft before computers became ubiquitous. For better or worse, a lot of them seem to remain set in their ways. Many ham websites, including those of active clubs, brick and mortar stores, and repeater networks, look like they're straight out of the 90s, and social media outreach remains quite limited. I suppose the fundamentals of radio, much like physics or mathematics, hasn't changed much in the past 50 years, but these communities unfortunately seem to be living in different worlds.

I think that it is essential for us to bridge the gap. The alliance of the hams and the makers really stands to bring positive outcomes for both communities.
Perhaps the growth of the platform or certain internal user-based metrics are not being met, so whoever is in charge of making sure they "hit their numbers" is pushing like mad to find ways to grow product. I can see some very aggressive people sitting around a table coming up with ideas to force engagement. Then after a month, they sit back and figure out all the A/B testing that drives the machine.

This reminds me of the quote, “Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
Not everything needs to be created for happiness maximization. It'd just be really really cool.
To me the problem here is the transition: they appear available then are marked as sold. Had they appeared sold from the start, that would have been fine. But by transitioning them they've stated a timeline for their sale which is incorrect.
Is this not just a matter of "the joke of the times?" Whatever is currently trendy can almost certainly be found referenced in every front page thread. Currently it's DJT, previously it was the FPH, etc. The masses shift targets, but fixating on a current trend seems pretty steady.

Here is a perspective I read that I thought was interesting[1]:

"There are a billion active accounts on facebook and other than the 208 that are set to private, I can communicate with every single one of them. I don't know what other word I can use other then Power. This is great power, just like the power held by the presidency, with great power comes great responsibility, and loneliness.

The worst thing about Facebook is not the power it gives me. The worst thing about facebook is what I chose to do with the power it gives me.

I certainly couldn't handle it. You might as well say the worst thing about facebook is me.

On facebook, why would I give someone privacy when I have access to all this information. And I don't even need their permission. I can watch your private pictures because you made them available. It's not that I can find out where you work, where you live, where you eat, everything about you. It's that I actually do find out without ever hiring a private detective. It's not what I can do, it's what I do!"

I've been trying new diets and focusing on reducing my intake of GMOs, specifically corn. For this I've been shopping at Wegman's quite a bit, avoiding Whole Foods which is closer, because of the prices. This article gives me a little hope WF is getting better. Good food costs money, at least that's what we're told, so I'm happy to see things getting more competitive, at least.
I noticed that that the sentiment about self-driving cars become much more pessimistic (or more realistic) in the last few months compared to the previous hype.
This thing happens yearly as BBC runs their BBC 100 Women series.

As much as I love the BBC for their news reporting, their gender diversity reporting tends to be very contrived.
Insane for whom? Regardless of rate of depreciation it's still an asset. The relentless drive to push everything to rental transfers value from individuals (as equity) to industry/corporations in the form of operating profit. There's a reason why much of the economy is moving this way and it isn't beneficial to the vast majority of us.

yes they do. Name one scenario where they don't

Given that Spencer is an anti-Semite I'm not sure that is a particularly tough question. It's exactly what Sartre described.

One can still disagree with the decision of course, but there is no doubt which way Sartre would lean.

FYI many (possibly all) of the Whole Foods here in Seattle did in fact change overnight: they added higher shelves, rearranged the layouts & product placements etc. All of this happened within the final day of the switch from what I can tell.
They're completely different things; Reddit is strangers, Facebook is people you know.
It's all serverless now
In the February 2017 case of a California artist who was questioned at San Francisco International Airport upon re-entry, after he finally agreed to unlock his iPhone, it was taken out of his sight for several minutes and could have been imaged without his knowledge. Under iOS 11, unless the artist, Aaron Gach, decided to actually give up the passcode (rather than type it in himself), he could at least have been reasonably confident that the phone could not be imaged without his knowledge.

So, doesn't this just mean that border agents will force you to write down your password, key it in themselves to verify that it works, then walk away with the phone to image it?

I think the bigger issue is why FB hasn't been able to create the kind of conversations that reddit does- the lack of real threading and the lack of a true downvote (preferably anonymous) keep conversations on FB abysmally superficial. You can't engage in a debate with someone if the back-and-forth gets impossible to follow after the second reply, especially with more than two participants. Likewise, FB and users have no idea whether people disagree with a post or are simply ignoring it; or on something like a critical article, whether a user agrees with an article and it's the article's subject which makes them angry or the user disagrees with the article and the post itself makes them angry. FB, with its status as the defacto social network could be a place where people have real constructive discussions, but instead its inability to foster real dialogue has a lot to do with the current stupidity of political discourse and the problems with reality bubbles and whatnot.
I don't even think you are contradicting me here. It's just that "MIT" has grown to be a lot lot more than educating its students (for better or for worse), and its ... "interests" much more varied as a result. After all, the students are there for a few years and then leave. Who are the real long-term stakeholders here? As I pointed out already, it's the bureaucracy, the professors, all the commercial interests wanting in on the MIT pie, and an institutional leadership interested in all the powers that accrue to overseeing a larger endowment with a greater capital return.

How MIT's immediate neighborhood has developed into an unlivable office park is a vivid example of what I say.
With so many cars destroyed, maybe Houstonians will try taking the bus.
I have a facebook account, but I haven't even logged in in the mast few years. Recently (like a week ago), I started receiving text messages on the number i had setup, after constant nagging by fb about security, looking like this :

Robin, get back on Facebook by clicking: https://fb.com/l/someIDhere

I am OUTRAGED by this. My phone text messages is one of the only communication medium that has no spam, and i basically use it for urgent stuff. I never agreed to fb using it for anything further than 2fa. If it wants to spam me, it may send emails.

This was basically the last straw for me. I'm going to send a message to all my friends telling them to send a mail if they want to contact me, delete everything on my profile and wall, and bid farewell. My account will stay up mostly to keep scammers/impostors at bay.
Apart from the core message that the author was trying to push across, I immediately noticed that names/faces of family/friends were not masked. I personally wouldn't like it if someone put out my information this way. I think that is breaching someone else's privacy.
I am not sure farmer's markets are prepared, and perhaps could never be prepared, for the type of volume they would have to do to entirely replace grocery stores.

As someone who lives in a big city, grocery stores here are packed at all hours. There will be dozens of checkout lines open going through customers as fast as they can. There are a ton of grocery stores, too, with each one as busy.

Farmer's markets are clearly not as effecient at serving customers as a supermarket, which means they would be even more crowded. We would have to have a LOT more of them to replace all of the supermarkets, and they would take up a lot more space than the current supermarkets to serve the same number of people.

As a busy parent of a toddler, grocery shopping already takes up a lot more time than I want it to. I can't imagine trying to fit the extra time it would take to shop at a farmers market for everything into my schedule.

When we think about making some sort of massive change to the way we live our lives (like everyone doing all shopping at farmer's markets), we have to really think about what it would mean to operate at that scale. What might work great for you as an individual may not work for everyone in the world, if everyone were to change their behavior.
amazoone.com actually redirects to www.amazon.com, as do amazoon.com, aamazon.com, and amezon.com. It seems like finding a domain name that is "close" to amazon.com that is not already registered by Amazon is not that easy.
The silent portion is useful for moving data into a secure environment. One could argue that a non-networked storage medium is better suited for this task (USB/SD), but the idea is that once you have sensitive data in your possession to can secure it from any type of remote tampering/tracking.

The people referenced in the article don't even HAVE grocery stores, they just have things like 7/11 or other quicky marts.
>When most of us progressive types speak out against "economic inequality", we are not saying we want everybody to have equal wealth. The concern is about rising inequality, of increasing wealth concentrated in an increasingly tiny percentage of the population, while millions struggle to get by, often one bad month away from financial ruin.

Eh, I definitely care about at least some degree of real equality of wealth, because wealth just is the material basis for both political power and personal freedom. What I terminally care about is equality of choice: the mostly equal ability of people from different origins in society to make meaningful choices based on their own needs, desires, and values.

Not everyone can become an astronaut or a CEO, but if someone's born to a poor family in a minority neighborhood, we still want their choice to pursue being an astronaut to meaningfully affect the course of their life. Better that they make it into the Air Force and fail to make astronaut on their own merits than that they never get on that track in the first place because their station in life stops them from learning high-school physics.
Yeah that works for a bit. I was "more happy" when I deleted it. Now, a year later, I'm just as sad because my wife is on it all the time, but I can't influence that. It's not like I can just delete her instance...
