> That's why it's a very good idea to pair as many devices as you can

Doesn't this increase your attack surface greatly though? The more devices you have this on, the greater chances that one or more of them could be compromised and used to access your passwords. Since there's no master key, one has to only compromise the OS to get at everything. Given that so many devices do not receive regular security updates, this seems like it would be a concern..
When I was a kid (France, west of Paris, the 80'), there was that I'd kid who would wear braces.

Today there is this odd kid in my children class (same place, same age) who does not.

I honestly wonder whether dentistry standards changed /evolved that much or if it is just fashionable (and financially interesting, at 1000 EUR the brace). I just hope it is not actually harming the children.
And for me some days the first step is just fixing some linter warnings.

It's amazing how clueless some people are about the damage that regulation that isn't well thought out can cause to small businesses.

GDPR isn't a well thought out regulation because the regulators couldn't even take the time to give examples of how to to migrate common internet infrastructure in order to be compliant. Instead they just threw out their shitty law and told the world to figure it out.

This new link tax further proves to me that the bureaucrats in the EU have no idea what they are doing and have no technical knowledge.

For those readers that are curious who Tannenbaum is, he wrote (the best IMHO) operating systems book [0]. This book contained the complete source of an operating system 'Minix'. At the same time Torvalds wanted to build a OS system. Did Torvalds use/steal or extend the Minix source? It is extremely controversial [1] amount CS types.

I think generally people are only sensitive to people who are not mutually respectful.
I hate that I try to stream a game for my friends and they don't see what I did til 10-15s later. I'm trying to have discussions with them in real time on our voice chat server and any input they give me is inherently dated. Mumble gives extremely low latency, so achieving this kind of thing over the internet isn't exactly impossible, the bandwidth requirements of video would probably make it a bit more iffy, but should still be doable with some random issues.

Maybe I just need to get away from the public streaming services which use HLS, switch to UDP streams and sub-1s buffer sizes.
This is a common sentiment, but I disagree.

In technical discussions, rudeness and informativeness are orthogonal. There is some information that is not polite to convey (such as information about someone else's personal/physical characteristics) but that information isn't relevant to technical discussions. Sometimes there is a choice as to how rudely one wants to convey a particular fact, but that is indeed a choice that reflects more upon one's desire for politeness or rudeness than it does any actual constraint on the transmission of factual information.
Yes, but if the scientific value capture problem were solved then science could scale appropriately rather than beg for charity.

I was (and would be) much more valuable to society as a structural biologist than I am as a software engineer, but the market disagrees so vehemently that it's cost prohibitive for me to fight it, and the result is that we all lose. The reason why it disagrees is not hard to understand and not particularly difficult to categorize as a market failure rather than a "hard truth." I can't really think of a good way to actually address the problem, though, so mostly this just amounts to venting.
Back then, nobody realized how bloated the Linux kernel was going to become, with way too much in kernel space. The kernel is somewhere above 15 million lines of code now.
I'm sure government will be providing more than plenty of moats to prevent any new entrants into this market as soon as this industry is developed.
> We're gonna have to do it in a very progressively liberal area

In my experience, liberal areas are only permissive when it comes to national policy. When it comes to changing anything significant about their "historic" neighborhoods, you're going to fight tooth and nail with everyone. They'll find an endangered bird species that nests near your old mall to slow down development.
Yes, there's actually another distinction we can make: between incomputable numbers and indescribable numbers. The latter is very slippery, since it can lead to things like the Berry paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_paradox

For example, we would need some way to avoid expressions like "the smallest indescribable number", since that itself is a description ;)

That's the argument for why health codes should be optional, that customers can choose whether or nor to eat in dirty restaurants and the market will settle the issue. Nope. I don't want to play that game. I want everyone to obey a mandatory set of minimum rules.

It's about information imbalance. Without mandatory minimums it is too easy for businesses to hide faults from consumers. I don't want websites to use business judgment when deciding whether to protect consumer privacy. I want them to fear massive retaliatory fines should they not do the bare minimum necessary to protect the public from harm.
As far as I can tell, it is exactly the Uber "I do what I want and fuck you" model. It's really disheartening to see startups still cargo culting that.

I honestly didn't have a big issue with powered scooters until they turned into VC-funded litter all over my city. They were clearly in the category of "experimental vehicle", like e-bikes, the tourist GoCar things, Segways, and whatever those one-wheeled feet-wrapping things are called. They were small in number, their users were responsible participants in traffic, and it was interesting to see where they went to. And I'm a big fan of the Go Bike bike sharing program, which worked closely with the city to integrate well into the urban environment.

But suddenly, a few different startups seemed to believe that they could turn the sidewalks into their place of business, turning a lot of untrained goofs loose with a powered vehicle. Even if I were chill about the probably-illegal taking of public space for private profit (and I'm not), the sudden rise in dangerous idiots on the streets is a big deal for me.

Now my general feeling with these clowns is "Oh, fuck me? No, fuck you." I'm generally very pro-entrepreneur, but if my city bans these clowns, I will shed no tears. Let them serve as a warning to future overly entitled entrepreneurs.

I'd also like to learn how to code in C/Rust, but the amount of time I need to invest in it to be even partially sufficient is discouraging. It's completely different from my current job, being a C#/JS full stack web dev.
I'm very far from being an expert, but as far as I understood the reasoning, it seems that the author is arguing that as time passes, the current conditions of chaotic physical systems are going to start depending on more and more information regarding (or "binary digits" of) the variables defining the initial conditions.

Since the deterministic equations of classical physics are defined over the real numbers but physical variables cannot contain infinite information, at some point some of the information/binary digits of the initial conditions that (partially) defines current conditions must be a random digit -- although this conclusion is only reached after arguing that almost all of the real numbers are numbers that contain random digits (as random as they can be, because they have no structure and can't be named/characterized/defined).

As a layman, I'm not really convinced by this reasoning (if indeed this is what the author argues), but this is the gist of what I understood.
Regenerative braking elevators exist: https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/elevators/w... has a good summary.

Well, I said it doesn't need it to feed the yeast. I hope I wasn't implying any controversy over whether adding sugar to a product can alter its flavor or texture.

But even if you include sugar-for-flavor on top of any practical uses, my point still stands: Spread across all the different kinds of foods you can get at the grocery store, a little sugar here and a little sugar there adds up to a whole lot of sugar overall. Maybe it's worth accepting a somewhat less carmelized crust on your paninis in the interest of having a healthier diet.

Can of worms scenario.

When something is in a degraded or broken state, it's just that: broken or degraded, but for unspecified reasons.

Once you start messing with it, you're likely to discover numerous unpleasant truths. These are small revelations or griefs:

The damage is worse than you thought.

There is other damage, previously unrealised.

You lack the tools, equipment, or parts to diagnose, repair, or replace broken equipment.

You're in over your depth.

Others around you don't respect or trust in your skills.

You need to dedicate space over time to the repair, contested with other uses or people.

If a repair is in a domain I have experience, skill, tools, trust (or full independence), then it's little problem.

Large or novel projects, or social interference (co-workers, management, vendors, clients, household members, neighbours, politicians) make the prospect far less appealing.
That is kind of frightening - why stop at school? Why not have Sweets Inspectors checking up on parents in their home? And talk about taking the fun out of any celebrations.

Being socialised is not a force of nature, because that implies that it’s non-changeable. It’s a societal choice to prioritise certain things and deprioritise others, to raise our kids to believe certain things, to allow the use of marketing in ways that reinforce existing beliefs, and so on and so forth. I find it weird that you consider “women” to be a homogenous group who all want the same thing and agree on exactly the method of achieving it, btw, as implied by your suggestion that a female teacher would never do anything that might hurt a girl’s sense of self worth.

I don’t know why studies suggest that boys are often better at correctly estimating (or maybe overestimating?) their skill level, but there’s lots of potential reasons aside from “biology” and “bad study”. Perhaps boys are just told “fake it til you make it” more often, and do so. Perhaps girls focus more on grades than boys in school for whatever reason, and the grading system is just set up to demoralise people in general. There’s a hundred thousand possible explanations - but they’re irrelevant to the point being made that if this is happening, then in order to encourage people who already believe these things about themselves to apply for a job, thinking about how to change your job posting to fit people with those beliefs is a good idea.

Have you actually read some of his messages? He is mostly very nice and patient with new people but he can be harsh with experienced people who should know better in his opinion. He also almost always attacks the idea, not the person and explains his rationale. I'll take someone like him any time over a lot of corporate people who regularly go through their politeness rituals without ever making progress.

And I think the history of Linux proves him right. It's phenomenal that he has been able to keep it together and thriving for so long. That's a pretty rare achievement.
Which is cute and all but it's the blockchain proponents that seem to think it will give right answers. Hell they frequently ellide the need to supply figures-right or wrong- at all.
The videos are mostly of my daily life, it can be friends & family, things that inspired me that day, or even something as simple as enjoying a coffee in the sun. Some days it can be just a screen of code, or a routine task. However the main idea for me is to find a moment a day that I'm more mindful about.

Initially I used 1 second every day app to do this, but have since a few years created my own app for it (https://www.leapsecond.co). Here's an example video from 2016 https://youtu.be/CBstXlmy35k
My approach is, when you want something done, you have to be ready to do it yourself or stop wanting it.

If you want home cooked meal and your wife doesn't cook for her own pleasure they you can ask her to do it for you, if she does, you must thank her, if she refuses, you must accept and respect her decision and either stop wanting home cooked meals or make them yourself.

Of same approach should be applied by both spouses.

As far as I know that's best recipe for happy, conflict-free life.

Expecting someone to do something will lead to disappointment, miscommunication and general decline of relationship.
> You use the name "gardai" as if it is different from "police"

Indeed this is just the Irish word for police, and it is different in only one way that I'm aware of, that the Irish government has long been inextricably linked to the Catholic church. You absolutely can't blame one without the other, in every instance where they've shamed the nation, they almost certainly and universally acted in concert.

I have no insider knowledge, my Irish heritage is several generations removed, I don't "trace my roots" back to any clan or keep contact with relatives, and I'm not able to become a citizen of Ireland by birthright, etc, so take anything I say with a grain of salt, I'm just as outside as you... (assuming)

This is a terrible story, and I don't think you can explain it other than "the shame must be hidden away, at all costs."

Everything I've heard from media sources that interviewed people who were victimized by the establishment and the church, not just in this case but in other cases where the church and government agents provided cover for large scale abuses... it's amazing to hear so many that are not the least bit interested in "justice" in the way of retribution or punishment for the offenders; many of them just want their story told, so they can have their true identities, and actually start the healing process.
It's nutritional profile is significantly less than an average vegetable. I advice switching iceberg lettuce for darker leafy greens. Assuming you eat the lettuce in salads this can be done without much discomfort by slowing introducing darker greens in your salad, and adding more as your body is accustom to them.

You aren't hurting yourself by eating lettuce, but it's a missed opportunity to do so much more for your diet. See the difference for yourself.

Yeah, and to be clear, we’re talking “luxury” apartments here, not anything single-family. Bay Area developers ALWAYS pull this: promise “affordable” housing and only sometimes get stuck accepting affordable housing programs into their otherwise-expensive apartments. Examples of the developers who lost: https://www.lowincomehousing.us/CA/santa_clara.html

Btw:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines "affordable" as housing that costs no more than 30 percent of a household's monthly income.
I'm going to assume the example was a bad one. I could see something like a remotely activated bomb leveraging live TV to inflict the most damage.
Possibly the implication was that this is one of several jobs they are forced to work in order eat and have housing, which is not pleasant, but common enough to approach 'average'.

Psychiatry and psychology rejected Freud as an unscientific laughingstock a long, long time ago. This shouldn't be trotted out as a an example of how these fields operate today.

They do attempt the scientific method, they just aren't doing a very good job of it much of the time apparently. If you think Freud, psychiatry and psychology are so synonymous that they can be referred to interchangeably, try picking up a current psychology textbook.
Population stability is probably the metric to optimize for if you care about sustainability. Rapidly growing or shrinking populations cause problems.

> I think it's pretty obvious that on the whole, quality is generally proportional to cost.

There are numerous examples that this is not true, and is a very common consumer misconception. If you found a LASIK place that charged $50,000 for the procedure, doesn't that make it a better quality procedure by your own definition? What about $500,000?
Expensive wine comes to mind. It's easy to find examples of consumer perceived value in the wine industry. I can get a $20 bottle of wine at Costco that costs $40 at a nice restaurant. I'll still pay the $40 because it adds to the dining experience, but at the end of the day I'm drinking the same $20 wine. Natural diamonds have massive perceived value but you can get a lab produced, flawless version for a fraction of the price. Consumers put a higher value on natural diamonds because of clever marketing and decades of supply chain manipulation to make them seem rare.

> Different surgeons use a variety of different equipment and have widely varying levels of experience.

That's true and definitely something to consider other than just the cost. The cost of something shouldn't be the sole indicator of the quality, so telling people to stay away from cheap LASIK centers solely on cost is not giving a complete picture. It's going to vary from center to center often times regardless of cost. Here's a good read on perceived value: https://moneyandvalues.blogspot.com/2008/03/psychology-of-mo...
