>The idea that there is even someone to argue with about the preferred state of society is off

I completely agree. The idea of someone, or a small group of someones, who control the world is another scapegoat, a kind of fantasy we sometimes revel in to explain why everything is going wrong. "At least someone's in control".

The fact is, we're all in this together. Certain people have more influence on the direction of certain societies, it's true, but the whole mass is some kind of undulating, chaotic consciousness constantly trying to adapt to itself. The people "not in control" compose most of the mass, influencing the people "in control" from the bottom-up, like how plate tectonics et al cause tsunamis, while those "in control" attempt to place restrictions on the crowd. There is not usually a state in which one body can contain the other, unless we do have a society akin to what we have in 1984, or unless we don't have class mobility (distributing influences).

Fortunately, in societies dominated by European and "western" philosophies, we have class mobility and we have sectors of the mass actively attempting to keep the upper influences manageable and the greater mass informed. Our focus on intellectualism, scientific thought, and individualism are, in my opinion, the biggest reasons why this is the case. We want to understand how the world works, we want to know where we fit as individuals and how our individual power contributes to the collective. We want to mark our place on the world, which means we generally strive to expand our individual influence radius as far as it can go, which means any top-of-the-pyramid actors do actually have much less control of anything that might shake the boat (since we tend to shake the boat very often).

Saw a comment from you the other day on HN. Was really excited, even installed snap to try it out.

For some reason the application is not automatically in my path after installation. That’s enough for me to go back to apt, and unfortunately Polarized is collateral damage.

I preferred installing from a ‘repo’ which updates my software automatically, something it seems that your deb does not do.
Not very common for personal finances but there are already services (AutoEntry, Trifact365 etc.) that handle this kind of categorisation for small businesses with OCR, no need for NN.
It seems believable. It is sad but for many people, work still means spending a lot of time emailing. Some people don't do much beside emailing about meetings, calling about meetings, and actual meetings.
for me for now

What exactly does that mean? Do you expect your stake to go up or down in the future? Do you have it in writing that has been reviewed by your own lawyer? Because the reality may be 0%-50%-50% and you just don’t realise yet.
From the comments on the article:

> I took a look at the numbers. The categories are broad. If I check my emails 10 minutes per weekday it is counted as one hour for the purpose of calculating the mean. 62% of the participants report checking work emails in 2 hours or less. IMO there is still enough time to do deep work. Fore average calculation, the last category “more than 6 hours” is assigned “9 hours”. So I think these numbers are skewed.

> I don’t get why anyone would check their personal emails for more than two hours a day. The survey doesn’t say they did so during working time.

So, yeah, it seems like this was deliberately distorted to the point that there's no truth left in it.

Is it possible that people take 'doing email' as including facebook and other social media - messaging in any form?

Lets face it we tend to do those things through Web interfaces on desktop/laptops or in messaging style apps on phones that tend to look quite similar in layout.

And we need to be clear about the time frame as other posters have mentioned (per day or per week)

On the work based figures, I suspect that people include the time spent on a task generated by the email as 'doing email'. My colleagues certainly would, and a lot of the work related email we get is providing information directly into a rich format email.
One of the main advantages of Linux and all the different distributions is the freedom the users have to have a system that matches his or her needs. This has been the case for decades. There has never been a single packaging solution and I see no need for one. Of course packagers want their lives to be easier, but the request to target the whole Linux desktop segment without reproducing the package process is pretty unreasonable given that different users simply want different packaging systems. Developers should weigh the advantages/disadvantages of supporting (say) Ubuntu or CentOS just as they do for Mac and Windows.

From that article,

> The threshold of caffeine toxicity appears to be around 400 mg/day in healthy adults

That's only about 4 cups of coffee, man! Or just two "NoDoz".

The article does not mention snorting caffeine. It seems reasonable to me to predict that if people starting snorting caffeine in an effort to get greater neuropharmacalogical effects, it would be pretty easy to go over 400mg.

There are few (if any?) documented deaths from caffeine overdose from drinking coffee (or even energy drinks), probably because the delivery mechanism means you need to drink a lot of beverage to get that much caffeine (8+ cups of coffee is really gonna fill up your stomach etc.). There ARE documented deaths from caffeine overdose from caffeine pills etc. though. Mechanism of delivery matters. The range between usual caffeine dose and an amount that can be dangerous is smaller than most people think (in that respect similar to aspirin and acetaminophen).

I am not sure what you mean by "to the point of effect", but I don't believe the literature you cite supports your claim that "You can snort caffeine to the point of effect and healthy individuals will be fine." Method of delivery does matter, in part because it effects practical dosages.

In fact, we don't need to guess, while as far as I know nobody's snorting it, highly-concentrated caffeine in powder/granule form (presumably similar to what we'd hypothetically imagine people snorting) _is_ documented as dangerous:

> "FDA Warns Consumers About Pure and Highly Concentrated Caffeine"

> "The FDA advises consumers to avoid pure and highly concentrated caffeine sold in bulk as powdered and liquid dietary supplements."

> "It can be extremely difficult to accurately measure pure and highly concentrated caffeine, and you can easily consume a dangerous or even lethal amount."

> "Dietary supplements consisting of pure or highly concentrated caffeine are potentially dangerous, and serious adverse events can result, including death."

-- https://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/ProductsIngredie...

> "On May 27, his brother found him unresponsive on their living room floor. In an effort to increase his energy, Mr. Stiner had used caffeine powder a friend had purchased on Amazon, but miscalculated the dosage, overdosed and died. The medical examiner said the cause of death was “cardiac arrhythmia and seizure, due to acute caffeine toxicity due to excessive caffeine ingestion.”"

On the product: this seems like SimpleNote except that it is actually being developed with features. I have been happy enough with SimpleNote for over a year now, but trying this out now as an upgrade.

For both of these I like that its just markdown files that I can export if I decide to use something else.

Edit: there is a plugin for vim keybindings, and a solarized light theme. I am sold!
It's an interesting assumption to correlate prices with categories, I think this'll suffer greatly from omitted variable biases. If I end up having to check each time whether or not the number entered has changed the category, then I'm not sure that it's better than just keeping in manual.

I wonder when a country is going to overtake Belgium in IPv6 adoption. Belgium has been slightly above 50% IPv6 traffic to Google for quite a while now, thanks to major ISPs switching to native dual-stack setups (and those ISPs being in full control of home networks in general).

It seems that we in Belgium are somewhat stuck at this rate though. Consumer routers behind ISP modems that only provide IPv4, enterprises not adopting IPv6, mobile networks not adopting IPv6 (all IPv4 only with CGNAT if I'm not mistaken), ...

Nature is telling you an infinite number of things, the process of selecting what to measure and what to exclude in the measurement is a choice.

In terms of frequentism, how you define what the population distribution you are sampling from is exactly, is a choice.

You are limiting the discussion to what happens after you've chosen how and what the population distribution consists of.. that part is itself a nontrivial and subjective process.
It is like if Trump would want to help China by making it harder to produce in the US. A country like the US imposing tariffs to Chinese imports produces a small impact on Chinese companies as those products are needed in the US anyway and most of them can only be found there.

If Trump wants to have a competitive industry the solution is not trying to block the providers but facilitating global trade.

"So from what I understand, when I use my tmobile phone over 4g,I don't have an ipv4 address that is routable."

T-Mobile is IPv6 only, you will have no IPv4 address assigned to your phone.

"So I am basically NATed to ipv6."

Other way around, your IPv6 connection is NATed to IPv4 via one of DNS64 or NAT64.

"Is Google including this kind of mobile traffic? I would guess that they are."

Yes, but maybe not in the way you're thinking if I'm reading your comment correctly. The IPv6 only portion is just INSIDE T-Mobile, when you need to leave T-Mobile to access services you will be using v6 if the services support v6 and v4 if the services support v4. Since Google is measuring this by how you connect to Google and most Google services are v6 enabled then you'll be counted as v6 properly. For the ones that aren't v6 enabled you'll be counted as v4 properly as they are measuring how you go over the general internet not how you traverse a private network.
They don't. That's why they're passing the buck to someone who can.

Well the moon has had artificial satellites in the past. I imagine it might not be terribly common, but not impossible either.

>The almost nonexistent cases (at least in our Solar System) shows how rare it is.

It might not exist in our solar system, our solar system isn't a model from which all others operate from. Submoons may be rare, but not because they don't exist in our solar system.
I wonder if in a strange way companies like Sears were a victim of the first dotcom bubble crash. If they had pivoted at that point, they’d have been in a better place. But I could just imagine the executives being in such an “I told you this web thing was a fad” mode that they missed their window to modernize.

Especially since the kind of non amazon places that seem to succeed now carry heavy products and sears had no shortage of that.
Then again, IPv6 hasn't really been built with NAT in mind, precisely because "there are so many addresses out there you won't need it". So if you decide for an IPv6 deployment for your servers, you're essentially between a rock (you can't easily transfer an IPv6 address space from one cloud provider to the next) and a hard place (use ULA addresses internally and having to NAT to the outside anyway, but with less software and hardware support). As for me personally, I'm totally fine with IPv4 behind the load balancer: it gives me a much easier time with basically everything and I can still support both v4 and v6 for all clients connecting to my site as well.

Boblightd (https://github.com/bobo1on1/boblight) is great if your source is a computer. There is a plugin for Kodi - I personally haven't tried and just start boblight-X11.

Since boblight can use a capture source, at one point I did get something working with a HDMI spliter -> composite -> USB composite capture card so I could use boblight with any hdmi source.

At some point I'd like to pickup one of those android boxes that include HDMI input and try and get boblight built on android.

This is a really cool board however, i'd love to buy one.

Business continuity plan
Introduction
A veterinary practice can be defined as a type business operation that is much focused on the profitable delivery of veterinary medicine. However there is a mistaken belief from many veterinarians that a successful practice will come from the delivery of effective veterinary medicine. But the true reality is that veterinary practices are in an extremely competitive environment and are prone to risks. Although it is not essential for veterinarians to have formal qualifications in business it is considered important they have a foundational understanding of business practices relevant to the veterinary industry. With the increase of technology driven networked practices veterinarians are now taking are a more active role in practice management. The reality for many small veterinary practices is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain commercial viability and accordingly veterinarians must become good practice managers to have financial success. Hence the business continuity plan provides the means to deliver effective clinical service. It is essential that they understand the reality of some of the impediments to the practice that would hinder quality management of the veterinary practice. It is, therefore, important that the veterinary practitioners have a strong understanding of the framework that is associated business processes in the planning of a start-up veterinary practice.

> aren't planets moons of their star?

No. The difference between “star” and “not star,” within the context of a solar system, is well defined. (Brown dwarfs muddy the line in general.)

The difference between “planet” and “not planet” is a little more arbitrary, with the line between “moon” and “non-moon satellite” being more arbitrary still.

The all-encompassing term you’re looking for is “satellite.”
And it's been happening for years. I recall reading a story probably... 3 years ago (or maybe 4) detailing what was going with with ESL group (IIRC), and... I just couldn't quite believe everyone was going along with this. I'm presuming a some folks made a lot of money, but it was at the expense of gutting Sears.

There was no way they had any intention of even trying to keep it a competitive concern. This is one of those examples people trot out with "Amazon is killing competition". It might be in some cases, but the Sears situation was assisted suicide, and using Sears as an example of an Amazon victim is nonsense.

The nostalgic web designer / graphic designer from those years in me is really fond of and misses the old conventions of web interface and application design.

I don't know if anyone / everyone remembers phong photoshop tutorials (oh my god they are still there! http://archive.phong.com/tutorials/ ) but that type of interface design was my heart back then.

It was all about creating almost sci-fi like installation design. Wires, vents, metal surfaces, rust, plastic, gel, glass, reflections, scanlines, wireframing, grids and 3d grids, and other things like that. Think Starcraft's HUD design and the Terran installation type maps that floated in space. ( https://media-curse.cursecdn.com/attachments/21/437/b34694f4... <~ this is actually the perfect representation in my mind of what I wanted to make in terms of the graphical interface in websites in the mid to late 90s and probably early 2000s before everything became about "clean, flatter, simple, "elegant") and I'm not so sure I like things that way.

In fact I think I'm going to make it an express feature that all of my future side project's design portion will be dedicated to creating mid-to-late-90's-like interface / graphical designs based on phong's tutorials and other things I loved back then.
