To add on: Synology largely repackages open protocols into a fairly user-friendly package. Connections can be made over SMB/AFP/NFS, and their Synology Hybrid RAID for utilising different-sized disks is basically mdadm + LVM.

Color me unsurprised that this is (probably) based on some real life creature. I used to think that Dr. Seuss was incredibly "creative" and made up all kinds of stuff whole cloth that was just bizarre. Then, I lived in San Diego County for a while.

Dr. Seuss lived there. The zany architecture? It's exaggerated, but not entirely made up.

For example, there's Horton Plaza, a five story open air mall in downtown San Diego that is built like that because there's so little rain down there. It reminds me of the architecture in stories like Horton Hears A Who:

https://www.westfield.com/hortonplaza

The bizarre trees that looked like sticks with something puffy on top (in The Lorax story, actually)? You can see similar trees (with pink bark, no less) in La Jolla, where he lived for a time. (Not disputing that he drew inspiration from Kenyan trees for this story in specific. Just saying the vegetation in La Jolla is weird looking and not like what I grew up with or have seen in other parts of the US.)

Dr. Seuss was a political cartoonist during WW2. It's not surprising that a controversial political position is one of his favorite works.

There's a statue of, iirc, him and the Cat in the Hat on campus in front of the Geisel library (his actual last name) at UCSD in La Jolla.

Shocking!
It's not a conspiracy theory. That's what happens when you purchase mineral rights for drilling.

And it is cheaper, but there are also significant questions about what will happen to that cost if consumption significantly increases via mass transit.

I'm all for lower emissions, but let's not pretend there isn't a vested interest behind it.

Especially when there are also other options that don't get nearly the attention.

To offer some alternatives here are three books which I believe are relevant given these challenging times:

* Enlightenment Now (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35696171-enlightenment-n...): Offers a defense that our current institutions have delivered the goods and should be defended. The left doesn't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We should continue improving the system we've got -- especially urgent today as they're under seige.

* Your Money or Your Life (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78428.Your_Money_or_Your...): Philosophy masquerading as personal finance. Challenges the reader to ask "What is enough?" and honestly evaluate whether they are living an integrated life that is consistent with their values. Lays out one way to help answer these questions and course correct as necessary.

* Stand Up! (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35989237-stand-up): A hand book and call to action to answer the "knock at the door" and step up to address "a world on fire". Especially useful for those interested in or actively leading volunteers.

If, like me, you're upset about the current state of affairs and unsure where to go from here I recommend the above as a small tonic and, hopefully, stepping stone.

Interesting that you should bring up type I diabetes. It is a perfect example of how current medical practices treat symptoms, at the expense of patients. Why? Because treating it with drugs makes companies lots and lots of money. I have an in-law that took his medical condition into his own hands and went on a strict very-low carb diet. After a few months he was taking a fraction of the insulin he was previous to the diet. Why isn't this the first thing the medical community tells patients to do? Because there is no incentive. The drug companies wouldn't like it, selling so much less insulin.
The common wisdom always says have an off-site backup. But what if the backup is small enough to fit in your pocket? I always have a Swiss Army knife on me anyway so if I have a backup thumb drive that’s the same size, it should fit just fine, and be as safe as my house keys. I really think we’re in a new age of self sufficiency because of advances in technology and physical storage size.

The recent studies that talk about this are slightly more nuanced. But much of it comes down to, what I suspect to be, some combination of the 60hr per week fallacy (that someone working 60hrs/wk creates more value than someone who limits their work to 40hrs/wk), the play trade off, the physical trade off, and the sleep trade off.

The brain needs lots of downtime to properly learn new skills, and if you're trading downtime for studying, at some point you're going to get negative returns on investment. This seems to happen somewhere between 40 and 50hrs/wk for cognitive tasks.

There's also a growing body of evidence that play, hard as it may be to define, really has an enormous impact on learning, as well as mental health. One of my favorite anecdotes is by Richard Feynman who was completely burned out when one day he, for the fun of it, tried to calculate the wobble of a plate being tossed in the air, and this changed his attitude with long lasting effects on his work. http://sistemas.fciencias.unam.mx/~compcuantica/RICHARD%20P.... (search for "throws a plate in the air", though the whole book is a fun read)

I'm convinced, though I've not seen much research on the topic, that physical movement is essential to learning. Something related to stimulating the entire nervous system, or possibly just related to increasing non-circulator fluid exchange in the brain. Hell, it may just be a chance for certain areas of the brain to have downtime, while the centers related to muscle control take their turn. But if you're making this trade off, it'll start to have negative returns.

And then there's sleep. You're doing yourself a great disservice if you switch an hour of sleep for an hour of studying, your long term retention will go to shit, and the odds of you remembering some fact 3 months from now will greatly diminish, which mostly defeats the purpose. This may be the biggest problem with giving homework to highschoolers, who tend to have the habit of both procrastination and staying up late.

So, yes, I can see homework having almost no academic benefit when a student is in class all day. I can already see issues with my daughter in Kindergarten. There's so much pressure to teach too much content, that her school has made huge tradeoffs around play and exercise during the school day. I certainly don't want them forcing even more work on her, especially as she's getting old enough to start to have chores and other responsibilities that have nothing to do with school.

This looks like a great gift. Thanks for the idea!
I disagree with the rebuttals, but along a different line of reasoning:

1) The article repeatedly leans on the concept that the municipal tax itself is insignificant and unimportant, that it's ability to grow or shrink is bounded, and that implementing an LVT will raise taxes overall.

An LVT is supposed to supplant other forms of tax - you aren't supposed to be paying income tax, school tax, etc. in addition to it. The increased property tax should be a wash at the individual level unless you're making poor use of land.

His own priors indicate that municipal taxation is not LVT-like, but he claims that it is.

2) He claims that the rich won't care about the tax increase (so why not increase revenue there?) but that seniors that are land-rich but wealth poor will get liquidated.

He doesn't bother to think about what this means - land values decrease as non-productive land is returned to the market. He claims renters will get squeezed stating that there's only housing supply where there are profits. Sure, but how would it look? Would we be out popping medium size detached dwellings in suburbs that create net-negative income for cities in the long term (but are profitable for developers and speculators), or would it favour densification in areas already served by infrastructure? No argument is provided.

Basically the key point made that is decently supported is "there will be pain during a transition between the two systems", but I don't think anyone believes otherwise.

Absolutely. See Tarski's axiomatization of the real numbers, for instance.
I think the rule of thumb for any project is, the more people there are involved, the less the project is allowed to be cultured or express any specific culture that’s not inherent to itself.

That presumes a lot more focus and attention than I'd assume a hedge fund billionaire would be able to devote to a low-probability bet. Also, unless your name is Erik Prince, you probably don't even have the skills. When the SHTF, your head of security (who put in the time to earn the loyalty of the troops) is going to be king.

Honestly, I think the best survival strategy for a billionaire in a post apocalyptic world is to stockpile supplies to be explicitly given as gifts to whatever community forms near your hideout. It's foolish for the ex-CEO to try to be king of a new world where he has few valuable skills, but he may be able to survive by ingratiating himself with the the nearby communities.

A 3TB main hard disk HD01. It has everything of mine from 1998, photos, docs, code, media (self-generated) books everything. All things sorted by type in folders (Media, Own Data, Books, Video, Cloud(Dropbox, Yandex, Mega, Drive)).

An exact mirror of above HD01, labelled aa HD02. Mirror updated every 20-30 days.

An exact mirror of above HD01 in cloud(Yandex & Mega). Mirror updated every 20-30 days. This does not get downloaded to PC back to cause recursion (Cloud on Hard Disk & Hard Disk to cloud)

Few working folders on PC, worked upon, work in progress, mirrored back to their original place on HD01 every week or 10 days.

Stuff of two phones & one tablet gets synced to Dropbox, Yandex & Mega as daily or hourly via foldersync app (Whatsapp backup is synced daily whereas Camera folder as soon as possible). This gets downloaded on PC boa Dropbox or other windows versions. This whole cloud gets synced to HD01 every week or 10 days. Also PC's Chrome's download folder also get mirrored to Cloud very often.

Stuff on gitlab, github & tumblr gets downloaded 1st of every month to Google Drive via Google Apps Script with an email report of log. This also gets downloaded to PC via Drive windows app. This Drive folder is synced to HD01 in Cloud folder.

All sync profiles on PC are setup in FreeFileSync with Drive Labels, Exclusions, Inclusions, Filters & limits.

HD02 is at different house, brought in only for updating monthly.
Extremely doubtful in reality though, it's still going to be all noise.
I'm pretty sure this is a well-known problem in general on Linux -- file locking is almost never a good solution. It sucks, since there are definitely times where it would be useful.

In any event, this is probably a low priority for glibc/kernel devs -- the fact that syncing doesn't actually behave as expected is much more important (https://lwn.net/Articles/752063/).
Do you track stats like:

- installer (maybe handling or technique affects longevity)

- rack # (maybe power supply to one is smoother, or there is variation in audio or emf exposure)

- position in rack (top, bottom, middle, edge)

- average use (assuming it varies) per drive

Sorry if these questions are addressed elsewhere.

Organic marketing is the result of our education system failing to properly educate our populace on chemistry and the marketing taking advantage of the failure. When you go to a conventional farm you can see the exact chemicals sprayed onto the crops in a precise manner, there are GPS programs to correctly allocate based on prior science efforts.
Then someone noted that isolated chemicals were not natural and stated that natural was better for you; not questioning why spreading manure instead of the chemical necessary was better (which the manure now runs off and causes issues like when we did not have the agri stewardship we have today).

Organic marketing works because decision makers lack the critical thinking to question the efficacy difference. This being said, there is a difference in taste between and organic red delicious and conventionally grown red delicious.

> one is economic theory and one is political theory

It is an absurd notion that there are two manners of discussing how the pie should be divided up - one objective, scientific, fair-minded etc., and one "political". Obviously it is all political.

As it was originally called - political economy. The term economics was promoted by Alfred Marshall, one of the most political of those focused on the economy.

However, if you like to tinker with your NAS a bit more, FreeNAS is excellent. It's pretty comforting running zfs over standard RAID, and you have a FreeBSD system where you can run anything you want in native jails.
