This was my first experience with KDE Neon, so I can't compare the installation to an installation of an earlier version.

Was there any information missing that you would have liked to read? I would appreciate any feedback you can provide!

Yes, and yes.

I had great mentors early one. And I am doing mentoring today, while still having great mentors in my life and work.

There are almost no downsides. In most cases, everyone benefits.

People helping people grow, do more, be better, and all the basic stuff humans tend to desire and benefit from, is a net good activity. Basic.

Pumped storage is a great idea for places where the topography will work with it. But it's expensive to build new. The multi-hundred-million dollar costs of building a new pumped storage facility might be compared to the new costs of building a massive gridscale battery (what Tesla did in South Australia). I'm hopeful that liquid metal/flow batteries designed for grid scale sized applications will become economical in a $/kWh stored rate. There's a lot of applications for batteries which are too big/bulky/dangerous/hot for domestic use or vehicle use, but are perfectly suited for deployment in an electrical grid application.

Electrical grid operators are already really experienced with the process of building substations, basically get a square or rectangular plot of land, level it, put down concrete pads for transformers and switch gear, cover the rest of it in gravel, erect fence with barbed wire around the perimeter. Now do the same but add more concrete pads for big, 20'/40' container sized batteries.
It says the minimum workday is 10 hours. Who would retire at 50 and want to spend 2 months intensely working 10 hours a day? You obviously had the work ethic and happened to find the right line of work to both afford an RV and retire at 50... why go back to what is the most entry level of entry level jobs to get a little extra cash? What would you use the cash for? $13/hour * 60 hours a week * 8 weeks = $6240 * 30% tax = $4368 for your entire duration (plus free utilities). I don't see how that's worth it. That's less than two weeks of an 8-hour-a-day job for pretty much any professional in New York City, and they get a 401k, insurance, etc.

I'm not sure I'll retire at 50, but I am sure I won't be working 60 hour weeks out of a van. Unless something changes dramatically, of course. You never know.

I would really like to hear what information or topics you missed in the review.
That's all very well and good, but it's not really what moral philosophy/ethics is trying to solve. It's about what is right and how society should work, and whether the right thing is say, what brings the most happiness/utility or what's someone's duty as a good person or what not.

No, those are not meaningless goals, since they kind of determine how society works/should work, and are often the basis of fair political and legal systems. Here's how it worked in the past doesn't justify it working the same way now, and cultures throughout history have done all sorts of questionable things on the assumption they were in the right. It's the job of moral philosophers to figure out how to move forward from this, figure out what's right for society and go beyond tribalism and instinct.
If you speak in gross rather than in net, then it is even a lot more than what you're saying. But then it is not income tax, which is the percentage of what was discussed.

If you want to account for everything that is removed from your salary between gross cost for the employer and your net after taxes, it will surely be between 50% and 60% in average. But then we can talk about the benefit of all this.

I don't know for you but I strongly prefer that and the ability for everyone to get an education, health, unemployment, retirement, infrastructures, etc. than doubling or even more my own salary. Viruses won't stop spreading if you have money. Health is a social and political issue, not a personal one. I like being able to drive everywhere and not just in cities where people are rich enough to pay for roads. I like that when a friend is fired from their job they can keep their appartement until they find a new job. I like teaching to everyone who wants to learn rather than to the children of people rich enough to pay for tuition fees. I like that my parents will get a retirement salary and won't be in my charge when I may also have kids to take care of.

Now of course our system is not perfect and I largely idealized it here. But it is far better than if everyone would get their gross salary, paid no taxes, and would be able to care only for themselves.

Machine Learning as an Advanced Personal Training Solution
Parent was originally dismissing the complexity of the situation mentally and emotionally by insisting that there's just a simple biochemical thing that needs to be changed, like adding more gasoline or oil to a car engine to make it run longer. The reality is way more complex than that.

My critique is that Hola VPN users don't realize that they are peers, nor what that entails even if you were to use more direct language than the vague "share your idle resources with the community!" rhetoric on Hola VPN's homepage.

But since you brought it up, we both know residential proxies are especially attractive to bad actors and circumventors.

It's like how we're both capable of pitching Tor as the emancipator of the sanctioned journalist trying to publish the truth in the face of mortal danger. Yet 99% of Tor traffic to my websites is malicious despite our feel-good hypotheticals.

Of course, residential proxies are even better than Tor because a network can't just block the residential IP address space. ;)

I also viewed Snap as an platform built on a single missing SMS feature, temporal messages. They have added a bunch of other stuff, but that single feature was always the adoption driver, and eventually users figured out screenshots trump deletion. I also thought that the other features were in direct conflict with that adoption driver, as in actively providing negative user incentives for continued use.
Silicon Valley Investors Shunned Juul, but Back Other Nicotine Startups
I’m with you up until you associate alpha with being intimidating and willing to lie. Alpha implies leadership 100%. It is possible to be a strong and convincing leader without these negative traits. In practice, most leaders are in fact more ruthless as you portray. But look at the #metoo movement for one data point of how the balance of power is shifting.

All of that notwithstanding, it is very possible and in fact extremely common for alpha traits to be displayed in chess, both the Machiavellian style and the more “woke” for lack of a better term. In a one on one game, this is communicated in the non-game communication ie body language. In a club or team setting all of the usual social dominance tactics apply.
The sad thing is that it applies to many other companies these days, most notably Facebook, Google et al.

Why do people buy common shares which give them no voting rights as a shareholder?

Sure while company is minting money (or debt and marketshare) you can find a greater fool to offload your shares.

However when things turn the Zynga way, what recourse do you have with these no vote shares?

At least Bond holders and Preferred Shareholders have certain rights.

>> Speaking as a senior engineer myself, I disagree because time estimation in software is not a useful activity. The only thing it helps is political manipulation in a layer of management above you.

This is truly an amazing statement to make, especially from a senior engineer. Without a clear estimate and communicating that estimate to those who relies on your output, how can the others plan their activities, or how can you plan your activities without knowing how the others will take?

This is really cool. I wonder how it could be scaled up to make it easier for organizations that can’t get a chef like this to do something similar? His process was pretty custom (parenting with people he knew from his career as an haute cuisine chef and making gourmet food from scratch) that would be difficult to replicate, but if he could systematize this in some way that would be an amazing win for large organizations (dorm cafeterias, hospitals, schools etc). Given what we know about nutrition and the importance of fresh, high quality food and it’s role in all aspects of health, it’s high time that hostpitals (and everyone else) serve better, healthier food.

Like a lot of European countries. For Germany the (very) rough rule of thumb is net salary equals 50% of gross salary (please refer to your German tax adiver or accountant for more details). That is after taxes, social security, health insurance and unemployment insurance.
> Would the people planting an additional component not expect a company to inspect their own boards when doing normal checks?

Absolutely.

I often miss assembly errors on boards that I, personally, design and debug.

Unless someone has an automated tester doing optical examination of every single part, it's really easy to miss.

Even moreso if it was just a small batch that had the change.
I entered Canada a couple of times in the 90s and it was basically cursory look at my passport + have a nice a day. Something like 5 seconds. Today I am a Canadian citizen and overall the experience is much worse than it used to be in the 90s or even 10 years ago.

Which border crossing had those incidents? So those girls were on the bus with you, they came back crying, and you have no idea why? Is there more context here?

Just sort of to tie this in to current events, some guy just drove into Canada without stopping the other day:

The only reason I talk about empirical evidence is because I constantly see sweeping claims regarding efficacy of static typing. If somebody makes broad claims of one approach being strictly superior to the other, then the burden of proof is indeed on them to support said claims. The null hypothesis is that both approaches are effective, and it's in line with all the currently available research on the topic [1].

Furthermore, fixating on static typing as the one defining feature of a language amounts to concept space reduction. In practice, there are many complex factors that contribute to overall quality of the language that have to be considered holistically.

> I resent your implication that trying to help others avoid the same outcome is in any way dangerous.

I resent bad medical advice offered on a public forum. An absolute position in anything is always bad advice when the facts are not known. Parents let their children down, I'm not suddenly going to eschew all parenting because of it.

> What we need is well-rounded advice that allows patients to make informed decisions about their road to recovery. Medication is one possible path, but it's not the only path and it's not without it's downsides.

I think we're actually on the same page, then. Recovery is complicated and we all need to do our best supporting everyone in whatever unique journey leads to their recovery. Medication and therapy (along with family, meditation etc.) are all critical to the process and you don't always get the choice of one without the other. I'm sorry that medication and mental health professionals let you down.

I grew up a little differently than most. Drug-dealing parents, foster care, hoarding, crime & violence, and much worse. I escaped it during the late 90s because I learned to do things other people couldn't (build websites), but I brought my trauma with me as an adult until - as the VP of a start-up that raised over $300MM - lost my shit and then disappeared for 2 years on a "spiritual journey" that included seeing over three dozen mental health professionals.

If it hadn't been for a chance recreational encounter with MDMA the day before my dad died of a sudden heart attack (which precipitated me losing my shit), I would have withdrew into drugs & alcohol instead of seeking the help I needed. I'm especially glad I didn't listen to all the people around me that offered bad advice ("you're fine, look how successful you are") because they couldn't possibly have known the extent of my problems.

KDE feels amazing on Manjaro. I always liked KDE but it has always felt rather immature (severe bugs, clumsy design, questionable architecture) and now it feels complete finally. I would probably prefer tiling window managers if I had a huge display and used terminals a lot but as long as neither applies to me KDE seems the best of all the options available today (XFCE is not bad too but it lacks native support for Win7-like task panel).
The default approach to a medium shifting from trust to distrust is a significant change.

Yes, I wish I had clarified that I meant that Clojure beats everything else for me for what you describe as "business problems" and also, I've found it quite enjoyable for writing simple games.

From my casual observation, someone's IQ and intelligence doesn't seem to be a dominant factor beyond the point where it is considered a disability.

People with a level of intelligence that is measurably above average can still have difficulty finding and retaining jobs. There is a large group of people who can be expected to take whatever jobs they can find, out of necessity, regardless of their skills and aptitudes.

You do not think that established medical treatments generally improve outcomes?

What do you do if you think you have a medical problem? Where do you go for help? Obviously there are mistakes made and some unnecessary or counterproductive treatments are given in some cases. We’re talking about a massive endeavour involving millions of practitioners across the world. But claiming that in general this activity is not beneficial seems a big claim to make based on a single article on an issue with seemingly specific scope.
Hegelian, you mean. Kantian argument would be pretty boring, as it's typically exhaustive.

I once had a job in which I was asked to modify the girl with a balloon. I was never given any contact details except for an email address to who I was told was Banksys manager. Considering the extent to which I butchered the artwork for a specific event I was quite shocked at how quickly I was given approval to show the piece that I had modified. I guessed that there probably was no such manager. I also guess a few people do help out with the projects but I think it's one person conceptually behind it all.
And what would I get and why would I probably need it? In fact the only things I want from a DE are a Win7-like task panel + pretty and convenient window decorations. Another thing I love about KDE is Krusader - the best Linux file manager I know (I've tried using it in a GTK environment on Ubuntu but it looked ugly to the point of unusable).
And once again you read "slowed down and ruined it" (aside from the language, which is too strong) ... people REALLY respond to latency.

I wish Google would pay attention to this. Especially Gmail. It's just unacceptably slow and there is just no excuse.
Steve Wozniak's $13,200 coding bootcamp is 'broken'
Posted from KDE Neon.

I like the concept of "Stable OS, Updated GUI". I've been running it for a while on my laptop.

Good:

* Things just seem to work. The notifications and system settings are pretty easy and slick. The start menu is good.

* Annoying: I miss Ubuntu's Unity keyboard shortcuts. Not just that, but holding down "meta" key showed the shortcuts. I also had trouble doing... I think it was adding a hidden network? There was something in the network manager I couldn't do. AND: To this day I don't know how to make a multi-line taskbar like you can do in Windows.

I never liked KDE (Been using Linux since 2005) but this 5.1.x is making me swing my vote over.
Hey as long as we're on the same page that they're not at all comparable phones, with comparable hardware, or comparable manufacturing requirements, get whatever phone floats your boat.
Incidentally, that's a perfectly valid reason to migrate, but it's not the one the parent suggests. :)
Except for that it's not a quota, at least not in the sense that the word is used within the context of affirmative action, because there is no maximum cap set on the number of board members.
Ok, feedback of one: I don't care about the installation. I can install anything just fine. Should I though? Is this version better than the last one? Is it better than windows? Mac os? True os?
How is it better? Should i care about kde neon? What if i am mainstream Ubuntu with that gnome ui that wants to be MacOs (or wherever it is lately), will Neon appeal to me, why?

Stuff like that, otherwise you provided yet another installation process screenshots and we have enough of them lately.
Yes, you're right - it's possible to place fake orders and cancel them as soon as the actual trades start happening near them. However, from my experience, it only happens during the pump (when the whales are pushing the price higher).

You can see the explanation for including all buy orders here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18162456

Sell pressure is a bit different: while the lowest price is zero, the highest price is unlimited (technically, there is a limit enforced by exchange engine, but it's very high anyway). So actually, sell pressure should be calculated in base currency (in coin itself) instead of USD.
The magic of reddit has always been in its detachment from real-world social structure. Reddit is successful because it grouped users by common interests and eliminated the burden of having your real identity associated with your online alter-ego. If they ruin that in an effort to sell more ads, it will be a sad loss.
Could be useful server side if you have microservices.
I find quotas in bad taste, and somewhat lazy.

There is clearly an issue, but if we attempt to fix it with positive discrimination, we just create more issues.

A better way to approach the problem might be increased scrutiny (for discrimination) on boards/companies with significant gender bias, and increased penalties.

This would be harder to implement of course, but might go further to actually solving the issue.

I used to use KDE Neon installed on my work 2015 MBP. Very happy with it and missed the keyboard shortcuts so much that I switched back to KDE on my new laptop from PopOS.

I'm not sure what the point of kubuntu is any more since that's what most people will get and they'll get an old and outdated experience as a result. IMO KDE Neon should become the new Kubuntu.
Presumably KDE neon ships with an LTS kernel. Does this impact support for newer graphics drivers or hinder gaming usage?
