> The speed of the solver is not a problem in any other package management system I've seen

really ? It has been a large problem in Debian for instance and has enabled a lot of research (https://scholar.google.fr/scholar?q=debian+solver). One of the reason for Fedora's yum -> dnf change was also a change of solver. It's a hard problem that affects a lot of people.
If there is a clear evidence that killing some species of whales, such as minke whales will cause severe damage to the environment, just create a new international treaty and then the Japanese government will obey the rules. The Japanese government states that they are only killing the species that aren't endangered and also little amount that will not majorly affect the environment.

One thing to notice is that increasing of whales may also affect the environment. They eat large amount of fishes that may affect humans if the number increases. Increasing or decreasing both may affect the environment and the important thing is the balance of them.

I am pretty happy with my KDE desktop. The strength of KDE/Plasma is it extreme ability to be customized to the users needs.

Nevertheless, KDE itself comes with a set of background services too, which some users might find bloated.

I think nowadays its just a matter using what fits your needs. The only thing that nobody is perfect at is 'settings' as they mostly focus on desktop specific settings and many users don't know where to find more advanced settings (e.g. /etc).
I use i3, and when I plug in a monitor, I just figured out the command i need with xrandr and save it as an alias or command.

Or I also found out accidentally, I had to install gnome for some stupid test. But, using gdm as the login manager made automatic monitor detection work under i3? I literally changed nothing. But using gdm to login to my i3 and it works flawlessly. Even turning off monitors moved everything to one automatically.
I don't get private jets.

Even if I had Bezos money, I still don't understand why a private jet would ever work out an objectively better experience than flying first class except in very limited circumstances with lots of people.

You'd need to have air crew, storage, fuel, maintenance and I would assume (I know nothing about how this works) a raft of permissions and clearances for every takeoff and landing.

Even if you could easily afford all of the above with your skyscraper-sized cash piles, would it ever be worth the hassle to organize and maintain?

Maybe you have someone handle that for you, but you have to hire them - or hire someone to hire them. When does it end?

I really don't get the appeal.

>In the extreme if you perfectly assess risk insurance ceases to have any value.

For low probability high impact risks insurance is very useful even if perfectly assessed. For example you might determine the risk of my house flooding in any given year to be exactly 0.1%, and the expected damage $100000. Having to pay $100k would be a disaster for me, but paying $110/year to an insurance company is small cost I might not even notice.

With perfect risk evaluation insurance is mathematically a bad idea, but unless you have limitless access to capital at market rates it's hard to get an advantage from not talking that insurance

I caught my cheating boyfriend red handed with a lady he was having an affair with and this was made possible by a ethical hacker i met through a comment posted by ray marcum about his good services. I started getting suspicious of my boyfriend since he became too possessive of his phone which wasn't the way he does before. I knew something was wrong somewhere which was why i did my search online and contacted the hacker for help and to my surprise, he got the job done perfectly without my boyfriend knowing about it. My heart is broken because i gave him my all not knowing he's just a liar. I am trying to save more people out there from being cheated on by their man or woman by sharing this post with you all.

Neither of those metals becomes structurally weaker in any meaningful way over time due to oxygen exposure.

> life appeared so soon after the Earth became solid

It took hundreds of millions of years, possibly up to a billion years, for basic life to form on Earth. I would say that is not "soon"; it's a really long time.

The obvious response to that is, yes it seems like a long time, but it's not much on geological time scales. But it feels to me that there's an implicit circular argument here: the whole reason that geological time is measured in terms of such huge spans is because it took life such a vast amount of time to get to the point where humans exist to discuss it (understandably).

I don't think Sci-Hub breaks the loop. Researchers still need to publish with the mini Nobel prizes to advance their career in a highly competitive field, and governments/funders still don't want to dictate where researchers get to publish their work, so in effect, what happens is that governments mandate Open Access and pay the same old publishers significant (and disproportionate) amounts of money to make the single articles they fund openly available. In other words, the costs of research still don't go down, and the government-mandates were happening without Sci-Hub as well...

Anecdotal, but I, on the other hand, have had quite a few forced reboot.

It will then just hangs indefinitely on the BIOS password prompt. Fans spinning, CPU unthrottled for hours. And then lose network drivers inside Windows. Reinstalling drivers in the morning is not fun.

I use tcpdump continuously to analyse multiple RTP feeds coming in to our edge network. Found all sorts of issues with it, including packet reordering in Cisco and mikrotik routers (shouldn't be a problem with rtp - but tell that to ateme decoders), actual packet loss on juniper srx, and of course minor outages on international and even local links on the order of 100-200ms of loss.

Packet stream is dumped into some perl which keeps across the sequence number looking for out of sequence packets, summarise output every second into an elastic stack. Also have it comparing multiple streams for dual streaming and comparing skew.

Ironically I rarely use tcpdump to look at tcp packets - about the only interesting thing to me there is the SYN packets to see if the packet is getting through the firewall!

> Open-source desktops are never perfect for anyone, but everyone expects them to be

Oppositely, if I haven't paid anything I am happy to put up with quite some grief. Just knowing you could fix it if you wanted to spend the time has value for me too.

However using MacOS makes me very sad: paying $1000 for the privilege of bugs and user interface flaws galls me.

I have quite low expectations of Windows too, but that is (a) historical expectations and (b) I don't expect much from a now advertising-based OS. [Aside: I just wish Microsoft would charge me a subscription for a professional version that didn't have crapware and adverts].
Every time they buy one lab and crush it down, they are losing money. The amount they lose depends on two things:

1 - how much profit the lab owners are making (otherwise, why sell it to DeBeers)

2 - how many labs per year they need to buy

The possible scenarios here are complex. Let's explore one:

"It is cheap to create a new Laboratory, production of artificial diamonds (identical to natural ones) is cheap, and they produce handsome profits because the competing (indistinguishable) product (natural ones) is very expensive"

DeBeers will have a hard time buying all the laboratories popping-up all over the world, while at the same time the price of diamonds starts to drop because of the arrival of these cheap, indistinguishable alternatives.

DeBeers will bleed to death pretty quickly in this scenario.

Please note that we assume here several points:

- artificial diamonds are really indistinguishable

- there is no barrier to creating and producing artificial diamonds, other than the usual business barriers that other industries have (investment, IP, ...)

Unfortunately, the issue is really complicated, yet almost everyone who learns more about it will come to the conclusion that the current publishing model is ridiculous. Simplification is an effective way to introduce the issue, and in this case doesn't even lead people to conclusions they wouldn't otherwise arrive at.

Ideally, of course, we'd never have to simplify, but that's life.

I'll agree that the way you think of ABS should be unlike how you think of cruise control, but you shouldn't lump it in with automatic braking or adaptive cruise control. You just never need to think about ABS. It removes the need for the driver to weigh up how much or how fast to pump the breaks in an emergency situation, meaning that if you need to stop, you just slam the pedal, as it should be.

Conceptually, ABS means that the driver has a simple interface to make the car behave simply on the road. The other driver aids you mention give the drive a simple interface to make the car behave in a _complex_ way on the road, which is very different. The fact that there are smarts in the implementation is neither here nore there.

The same applies to other electronic stability packages introduced 25-20ish years ago which prevent / encourage skids depending on circumstances.
Part of the problem is the ANSI SQL standard specifies that 'TIMESTAMP' does not have any offset/timezone applied. The postgres docs pretty much admit this is a bad idea and recommend all timestamps be stored as 'TIMESTAMPTZ' (aka TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE).

It's problematic when moving data between systems with different Locale settings. Because ANSI timestamps are stored as 'local' time, timestamps will shift if you read from a DB in New York and write to one in San Francisco. Both will interpret an ANSI SQL timestamp as being in their locale unless told otherwise.
The point is that they're i) blocking people who aren't covered by GDPR. ii) not actually exempting themselves from GDPR because they still have all the data from EU residents from before the blocking.

Blocking EU residents as a GDPR protection is dumb.
