I have a oppo a-something I acquired in Malaysia nearly 2 years ago when my phone broke down. Even thought it was like $120 I still use it and have zero issues except outdated software which I can live with.

In fact I never had a smartphone this sturdy.
I'm a big fan of using vim and asciidoctor and an organized notes directory. I quickly jot down notes about certain projects or ideas using vim, then go back and format the notes at a later date with asciidoc markup. Then I run it through the asciidoctor chain to create personal html pages. https://asciidoctor.org/
I think the distinction is between places in the wilderness (peaceful) and tourist beaches (not-so-peaceful).
I see this more and more in the fitness community of people thinking it is perfectly normal to be on TRT after 30. I personally think it's insane, a normal healthy male doe not have his libido disappear after 30 and does not need TRT.

There was recently a post here about that most ED cases are psychological (stress etc. ) and not necessarily a problem with hormones.
Yes, please. Something that can open OneNote documents compatibly, in particular.
First things first: everyone is different, so try various alternatives first. Run some experiments and see what sticks.

That being said, I strongly suggest a personal wiki. I write about Dokuwiki on my blog (https://blog.ivansmirnov.name/how-to-make-a-personal-wiki/).

Key takeaways:
- Make sure the underlying storage is as simple as possible. Markdown in text files is as safe as it gets
- Friction has to be close to zero, otherwise you won't use it
- Put information in a deterministic location. Store any information that you might come back to, so that you don't have to repeat your research.
And that made sense when the Senate was the representation of the states' desires and most states chose their Senators at the state legislature level. The system as set up so that that the people chose their Representatives directly, and the states chose their Senators at a state level. Now, thanks to the 17th Amendment, Senators AND Representatives are chosen by popular vote. So the initial reasoning behind splitting the two house of Congress is basically moot.

Realistically, if we went back to allowing state legislatures to choose their Senators, Republicans would have an essentially permanent 60-70+ seat veto- and filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
American cities have a “citizens are too lazy to walk an extra couple blocks” problem.
Appropriation and disproportionate credit for white people is a real and serious problem, but it's not the whole story. Most of the actual musicians who were inspired by black music fully acknowledged their inspirations and were often annoyed at how no one seemed to care about the people they looked up to.

The actual artists out on the stage doing the music know exactly what comes from where. Culture spreads like that: someone likes a piece and adds it to their own, fusing two cultures. It's how we have American Chinese food that looks nothing like Chinese Chinese food. (the xenophobic policies that led to it is another matter)

You have a very narrow and stereotyped view of American culture. The whole of it is not a few white-majority cities in the north and one over-funded region in the west.
But they also are a cop out to not solve the real problem.

If you give tuition money to a few poor kids via a non profit, you don’t solve the college debt and education accessibility problem, but it makes people who did it feel better.

There seems to be a rule of thumb for black ice strength: kilograms = centimeters squared times 5. Seems to jibe with recommendations for a 80 kg walker (4 cm), 2000 kg car (20 cm) or big 48 ton truck (1 meter).
If ONLY your "distopian nightmare" of high density cities were true.

In reality it is the opposite. The vast vast majority of space in the US is reserved for the low density living.

Even the supposedly "high density" cities in the US are nothing compared to what they could be. Even places like New York have difficulty building enough housing to house everyone who wants to live there.

I just want a single city, in the entire world, where everyone said "hey, let's just allow building to be as high as anyone wants, and not put a single building restriction on anything".

The people who want low density living having an entire world to choose from. And yet that's apparently not enough for them.
> Roads have to be repurposed to make light personal transportation safe. Take every two-way two-lane and split it into a one-way, with a physical separation between a car side and a personal transport side. Remove parking from the curbs, and put it in the middle so one side can be for cars and the other for bikes, scooters, skaters, etc.

As a cyclist, I'd argue that most separated lanes as implemented are less safe than taking the main travel lane.

These lanes seem to be based around the idea that intersections don't matter for safety, and in practice they tend to greatly increase the number of problems at intersections.

In Austin, TX, where I live, the city had added several fully separated cycle tracks near where I live. The only reason I ever use any of them is if I'm stopping at a location on them. If I'm continuing further down the same road, I instead take the regular travel lane. I do this because so many drivers turn directly into the cycle track without checking for oncoming cyclists. This is despite the signs placed prominently on every one of these to look before turning. (In my view, signs like that are strong evidence that a particular location is dangerous for cyclists. They don't noticeably change driver behavior in my view, and seem to exist more for the city to cover their asses than anything else.)

I'm not the only cyclist who has a problem with these cycle tracks either. A friend of mine has additionally pointed out that the city tends to put the cycle track on the downhill side of the road, but not the uphill side, which is exactly the opposite of what they should do because cyclists go much faster downhill than uphill.

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem comes from politicians and bureaucrats who are not cyclists being the driving forces behind the construction of these lanes. You don't need to talk to too many cyclists before you'll hear my views about cycle tracks.

I'm okay with separated facilities when done well, but the vast majority I've seen are poorly designed and amplify problems.

Bullshit. Norway was the poor European country before they found oil.
"States' rights" is used as a dogwhistle in the United States for supporting legally protected racial, sexual, and religious discrimination.

[edit] In many political circles. In the antebellum era of US history it was used to excuse and defend slavery, and later, Jim Crow laws and segregation. There is a legitimate need for states to protect their rights, but that's not how the phrase has been used historically.
Once you understand exactly what is meant by the terms, the theorem seems immediately obvious. If your servers G1 and G2 cannot communicate with each other, of course you can't write data to G1 and read the updated data from G2.

Power drops off with distance squared. Device density increases background levels, but this study wasn’t looking at background levels; time spent transmitting per device is up but the location of that transmission is no longer right up against your head, just your hands.

I’d love to see a study about background EM exposure in the various EM spectrum bands that are now in continuous use in urban environments. But it would be very hard to run such a study!

The U.S. military has been very aware of this threat for a few years (though a legacy of disregard precedes that, as they saw no peer threats and were fighting low-tech insurgents). They're not idiots; it's obvious and they hack into their enemy's systems. In fact, they have been focusing on systems and training that enable units to operate while disconnected from the defense networks.
This is why we need higher gas taxes. Driving is much more pleasant than the alternatives to most Americans, until the true cost of their behavior is reflected at the pump we'll keep going in circles.

Right now my outrageous urban rent and taxes are subsidizing your driving privileges. Real estate for garages instead of housing/retail and road lanes for cars over pedestrians/cyclists. Those costs need to be passed on to the suburban drivers and not the car-less city dwellers.

Unfortunately the political will for gas taxes is null and we'll be left with draconian measures like car holidays and congestion tolls which won't alleviate the need to provide car infrastructure for peak demand, which is artificially high due to the distorted market.
I have a long term personal project that was well outside my capabilities when I first took it up. I've been using the same knowledge base app (Devon) that I used for my thesis and book. I find that it's much easier to recover stuff that I've "found out about" but didn't "learn".
The people commuting 1 hour in the US usually don’t even have a public transit option or it would take 4 times as long. In my city, a trip that would take 1 hour by train/bus would probably be 20 minutes by car and parking is plentiful and cheap.
If those barely capable give up and take cabs, then explain my morning commute. ;)

Seriously though, I don't see truly autonomous vehicles unless we acheive general artificial intelligence. I don't see that happening in my lifetime or my children's, but obviously I am not an optimist.

I don't know that driving skill will correlate with desire to drive or own a car. I think getting average Americans to give up their private vehicles and rely solely on public transportation or autonomous vehicles is a SV pipe dream.
I've heard this referred to as the "cycle of autodependency". This graphic describes it well.

https://imgur.com/Kuu4j8m

Once you've created an auto dependent city it's really difficult to undo it.

Surrey, the biggest suburb of Vancouver, is trying to shift from being a car centric suburb to building its own compact downtown. It will take decades to change development patterns. They're trying to jump start it by creating their own LRT system, but of course due to auto dependency there is push back because LRT will "get in the way of the cars..."
Wow I love this comment. Especially because I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
That birth control pills contain hormones is not exactly a revelation. Another very common term for them is "hormonal contraception". They are not benign; their side effects can be pretty brutal, and they alter cancer risks (some forms increased, some decreased).

(Some women are also prescribed hormonal contraceptive pills to mitigate problems like endometriosis.)
>They designed a fix innovative enough to file a patent on, 22 months before they acknowledged the issue.

They work on changes, ideas, and improvements all the time, and they have 1000s of similar patents for everything, doesn't mean the work that lead to that patent was a response to the specific product issue -- could be just a patent about avoiding dust in keyboards in general (a problem that harks back to the ages).

>That requires costly engineering time and organizational direction that is not used on a whim.

Again, you'd be surprised. It just requires the idea, and someone to write it in patent-ease. They have patents for all sorts of ideas and some make it into products while others never see the light of day. They literally use those "on a whim". For Apple filling a patent is peanut money.

It's a controversial subject. I also think it's a political subject in western countries (not in India).

Many have tried and failed. I salute the attempt but I would take a bet against it. I have tried to get access to high end radios that don't have strange carrier modes and haven't found them. A usb modem goes a long way in terms of isolating things but the new tricks are way smarter than the old.
It is because of government meddling that the US doesn't have high density living.

Yes, please please please let's get the government OUT of the housing market, and let's get rid of those building height limits that disallow anything above 6 stories, even though rent is in the thousands of dollars for a studio.

You should be allowed to drive your car and live in whatever low density place you want. Can you offer the same thing for me, by allowing the market to produce high density living as well?

Interesting. It looks like he just uses those picks to keep clawing his way through thinner ice until he reaches thick enough ice that doesn't break. Seems like that could be dangerous if the thin ice goes on for long enough that you freeze before you reach a thicker region.
By default, yes. But it can be increased. See limit(1) and ulimit(1).

The Bay is the garbage dumb of modern America. I'm sorry that it left av memory. Next time head to Chitown or NYC and absorb some culture.
But in the most popular areas, many cars get multiple riders and find their next rides in the same area.

And out in the boonies, some people will keep their personal cars, as it will take longer to get a ride.

Also, the average car size will shrink. Not only will we lose the driver's seat, but peak demand as people go to work may be met with even smaller one-seat cars.

You won't need a car that can handle your worst-case scenario for most of the time. Bigger cars will still be available, of course, because people do like to travel with their friends and family whenever possible.

All in all, it's a lot more likely that that most seats will be filled.
You said,

“Yep. After I had proven experience working remotely with a known company the offers started to come more frequently.”

I’m just trying to point out that this isn’t useful for most people: it wouldn’t work that way.

It seems like you unrealistically need to assert that there can be no downsides, even for others, about the particular remote working experiences you have had. Even so far as to make some sweeping, judgmental comment about me based on the very wrong presumption about my prior remote work.

I hope your insecurities about your choices will subside so you can admit that the risks implied by your advice are too severe for most people to consider abd negate most of the upsides you talked about.
The US is spread out because we choose policies that make it easier to spread into undeveloped land than to increase density. It's not some unalterable fact such that it has to be this way.
Easy to explain your commute. We don't have cheap automated cabs yet. People can't chose an option that they don't have.

Although you may have a valid criticism of the change in mechanism, I would not agree that the change makes it outright moot. The Senate still allows each state the same number of votes as any other state for that body. The House allots a varying number of representatives based on population. This was done intentionally so that larger/more populous states can't simply ignore smaller states. It preserves the voice of smaller states to some degree. It was intended to balance concerns and make sure that neither a demographic majority nor a demographic minority was at the mercy of the other.
Not disagreeing with you, as everyone has different workflows etc. but my experience is really different. I've found LibreOffice entirely suitable for heavy duty work, completely fine.

Microsoft products crash inexplicably on our systems too, and in fact, we have much weirder problems with corrupted instances and things than we've ever had when using LibreOffice. I also have serious problems with the Office UI, basically that the ribbon UI as it's implemented is inconsistent and incoherent, which is frustrating as hell. If you're going to have a ribbon/tab UI, make it consistent throughout, and don't have special exceptions for some functions.

Having said that, I do think LibreOffice loses to Microsoft's edge in some areas of polish, like in implementing equations, and in drawing figures. Some of the UI with the drawing actions are much more intuitive in Office.
Just because it can be a bit heavy. But honestly it's a capable and proven format.
Headline in alternate universe: "With the powerful computers available in the mid-late 2010s, it is now practical to browse an international web of documents, from your own home!"

Seriously - just this increase is 2x the total memory of a computer I used to browse the internet 20 years ago. People, including programmers, seriously misunderstand how amazingly powerful today's computers are, and how amazingly bloated and inefficient today's applications and websites are.
But wasn't this because first people decided they wanted to purchase larger amounts of goods per trip, so they needed a car to transport that? In Europe's old cities, people often go shopping every day even if they're single. It's annoying to me, as the infrastructure is mostly built for lugging around as much as you can carry home on your feet and even all the packaged foods come in very small sizes (2 servings). US stores, like malls, seem much more convenient for families.

What I don't understand is the number of restaurants built in a similar way, i.e. far away from residential areas and with huge parking lots. But I guess that's more family-friendly as well, especially with 2 or more kids.
Yes, that’s true. Unfortunately in the UK there’s a lot of cross-subsidy taking revenues away from commuter and intercity train services, which are in demand, and giving it to rural services which people don’t use. Hence the commuter services are not able to grow enough to compete with cars.
In the article you've linked, the whistleblower says: "the company itself was founded on using Facebook data" (watch at minute 09:00).

Nobody wants to take a cab to drive from CBD to suburb at 10am. The cabs still have to drive to somewhere to park themselves until most of them are needed again at 5pm.

Cars in general are mainly used at both rush hours and are parked somewhere in between. Sharing cars won't magically change human behaviour.

I was wondering that too. It seems like there might be collaborative editing, given dat project involvement?
lmao

The cost and availability of parking is one of the primary deterrants to car ownership and driving. If that is removed, then due to induced demand, the price commuting by car will substantially decrease. Following induced demand again this means the amount of traffic on the road will substantially increase, which will be a nightmare for cities.

Autonomous cars will not solve anything and will in all likelihoods make the situation much worse.

The only thing that will take cars off the road is simply to reduce the amount of road available to them.
I thought the impersonator's voice in the first video was male for sure. I had to go back and reread portions of the article to confirm that the impersonated person was female.
He can work on it now. This is not the last cave rescue. Doing it now is less glamorous though.
Is there a generic term that captures the same idea? If there is, I'd like to use it.
If anyone in city government is smart Chicago is going to have no real choice but to go against this trend because of its utterly atrocious parking meter deal 10+ years ago - or they're going to have to take that glut of spaces and make them free parking to try to get out of the deal.

Basically the city committed to keeping a fixed number of street parking spaces for 75 years in exchange for a pittance. If spaces are closed for construction or eliminated completely, the city has to pay the private company for those spaces as if they were being used. Want bike lanes? Don't forget to account for the paying for all those eliminated parking spaces. Pedestrian only areas? See above. Ride sharing cutting into driving? Guess they'll have plenty of empty space to pick up and drop off in - unless there's a way for the parking meter company to charge for that couple of minutes in a parking space.

But it's not all bad - the city only has to put up with it until 2083.
