I bought a 920sq ft, 30 year old trailer home for $50,000 in a lovely community and I love it. I don't pay land taxes, instead pay about $600/month in rent on the land (equivalent to land taxes in my area - New Jersey). For reference, in my community people are not allowed to sublet/rent to others and houses are spaced apart about 3 car widths. Highly recommend to everyone!

If you look you can find RV's that are built to last. The vast majority are built as cheaply as possible though.
The Intel 80386, part 13: Calling conventions
Isn't the whole crux of this discussion whether or not "immense disrespect" should be enough to jail someone?

Denying provable facts shouldn't be a crime, it should label you as an idiot. Being disrespectful shouldn't be a crime, it should label you as an asshole. I don't want to live in a world where being an asshole and an idiot is enough to get you put in prison.

I'm not with CF or APNIC, but it's likely due to issues with sensitive data.

Say a web service is hitting `http://internal.example.com:5220` with basic authentication, or there's a misconfigured jira trying to access `internal.example.com:3306`, but the DNS admins have retired `internal.example.com` and decided to make it return `1.1.1.1` for some reason. Showing all traffic that hits the service would expose a little too much sensitive information.

Right, but like all things it ignores other variables, such as for example the sun going into a cooler period or the gulfstream or el nino changing.

Obviously the former is global while the latter likely won’t counteract the warming effect much. But it’s extrapolating based on the assumption that we know there won’t be any other mechanisms — feedback, collapse, new phenomena being activated by this like the growing of new phytoplankton-like organisms or trees outside human habitats which automatically sequester trillions of tons of carbon back)

I'm not sure you could pay me to visit Egypt in the last 10 years which is a real shame.... Did some diving in Sharm El Sheikh years back and it was awesome.

Right not (maybe incorrectly) i have Egypt filed in my big brain database alongside Iran/Iraq/Saudi.
This is indeed the leading theory about where the world will be heading over the next couple of decades. But I think the answer really depends on the culture of subpopulations.

In the USA for example, republican ruled states have more babies than democrat ruled states [1]. Or in israel, the fertility rate of the orthodox haredi minority is very high with 6.9 children per woman in 2017 (children not childbirths) compared to the non-haredi per-woman value of 2.4 [2].

So where will this lead us to? I think we'll experience growing percentages of conservatives/orthodox populations across the world while the liberal populations will shrink. Overall there will be a shrinkage but the conservative population growth might eat up that shrinkage and one day we might have overall growth again. But predicting the future is hard of course. For example, you could have the conversion of the conservative mindset towards liberalism which is happening in the entire world since maybe 100 years or such eat up every population increase of the conservative minorities.

Or you could have sci-fi tech that influences population infertility quite much, e.g. with artificial uteruses. With them, minorities that value large amounts of children might grow quicker and governments could want to influence how many children are being grown to fight population declines.

Or it might be figured out how to prevent/reverse aging and the number of "natural" deaths will sink to zero. Then your population will start growing again even without the contribution from conservative/orthodox minorities as the number of babies would still be larger than the (low) number of deaths due to accidents, crimes, etc.

I find the Freshette to be by far the best type, and it has the advantage of being flat & pocket size.
You can get all the books to really learn the material (the ones by KB6NU are the best) but if you already have the background you can just study the test. I use an app called Ham Test Prep on android to take quizzes that basically amount to flashcards. Once you learn most of the questions and answers, you can pass pretty easily.
In some circles, surely. But I took quiverful literally as that sect where they don't use anticonception at all (including counting days) and accept as many kids whenever they come. E.g. no conscious birth control at all.

They move in similar circles, because it is ideology. But I don't think they are much sizeable even among religious.
Good angle.

But we're not just talking about headquartered companies.

Cloudflare has datacenters in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney and an office in Sydney. Could they be compelled to hand over your website's certificate that they have because they're the front end load balancing proxy for your website?? That way the police can man in the middle your website. Cloudflare would be gagged from telling you they gave away your private TLS certificate you entrusted them with.

Have we ever seen this happen to a drastic degree in recent times? If so, what happened? Who says that governments couldn't address a crisis, when they often involve themselves heavily in crises the economy, bailing out banks and so on.

If a modern government can force every young person to to join the army for the ostensible "defense of the nation" (e.g. Israel) , why not force them to take care of old people?
>Full of stupid, and impulsive, and likely religious zealots,

They are so stupid, yet everyone else let themselves be out-bred by them? I think if that happens in the long-term, it more or less suggests "religious zealots" have adapted better.
Take a step back and figure out what you really care about and be humble.

You may find that you are placing alot of attention on things that ultimately don't matter. When I've been in tough times, 8/10 times I've put blinders on and tried to fix everything except what is broken for me. It's a cycle that you have to break!

There's a reason why pride is in religious tradition the cardinal sin thats the root to all others, it blinds you to all sorts of things -- you start believing your own bullshit.
Confused: that graph shows birth rates dropping like a stone, all toward 2.
From the comments it looks like it requires 1900 watts.

Not van friendly, but maybe tiny house friendly assuming you have full electricity hookup.

Of course as another YT commenter put it, this doesn't handle "grey water" - another element of tiny living that isn't ever discussed.
In a word, no. If one thinks that marriage will simplify life and reduce stresses, well, I have some bad news for you.

Don't get me wrong -- marriage is/can-be wonderful, but you owe it to your partner to bring your mentally-healthy self to the table, not to burden someone else with your problems because new challenges will result. Life is struggle, and having someone to lean on is wonderful.

If you exercise first thing in the morning (like myself), I'd say breakfast is essential shortly afterward.
Alternate take: now that there's serious money to be made in the cannabis industry, there will be more and more bad science about how there aren't risks associated with its use, just as there has been with literally every other recreational drug that is legal and many high-dollar pharmaceuticals.

Pretty much the same way as this.setState in a class does.

React knows which component is rendering at any point in time — so it knows which component useState() call corresponds to.

I think this explanation is quite accessible:

Well, look again. Humans are quite the only species capable of understanding at a higher level the reproduction and controlling it. So, yes, this plays a bigger role than environment, where humans can thrive in almost any conditions, if the technology is allowing it.

No intrisic force makes a woman to have children and how many, just cultural and basic economy.
Interesting. And when Palestinians openly advocate for genocide of the Jews or Farrakhan refers to Jews as "termites" how do you feel about these things?
> It opens perspectives, and opportunities.

I completely agree on that, but as you said, there is just so many things to read / watch / learn, and it's so easily reachable that we often end up with "choice paralysis".

I don't have a crystallised opinion on the subject but instinctively I'd argue that picking a few topics and getting a good in depth knowledge of them is more valuable than splitting your attention span on so many things that in 10 years from now you won't really have anything to show.

Personally I see that as any other kind of distractions, it's easy to hop on from topics to topics, learn the absolute minimum about it, get our quick fix of dopamine making us feel good about "learning something" while you haven't actually learned anything valuable and will most likely forget about it in the next days or weeks. Not saying that we should avoid that at all cost, but it's nice to be aware of it.

Edit: seems like I could end all my posts by a quote from Seneca.

"Accordingly, since you cannot read all the books which you may possess, it is enough to possess only as many books as you can read. "But," you reply, "I wish to dip first into one book and then into another." I tell you that it is the sign of an overnice appetite to toy with many dishes; for when they are manifold and varied, they cloy but do not nourish. So you should always read standard authors; and when you crave a change, fall back upon those whom you read before."

Of course it stands, regardless of the pedantry over whether it is a category or a detail.
That's too bad, because they got very good products.

I love my jabra elite 65 t, they are the first ones that allowed me to make peace with the dreaded wireless ear plugs. I basically live with them, I can't recall the last time I put my phone on my ear or put the music on speakers.

But yes, I can't make them work with my Ubuntu laptop.

This sucks, especially for a 180 euros product.
> The German giant has staked its future, to the tune of 80 billion euros ($91 billion), on being able to profitably mass-produce electric vehicles - a feat no carmaker has come close to achieving.

This is an immense number. This is almost twice the current market cap of TSLA.

Ironically, I don't think this would have been possible without Dieselgate. There was just too much profit in the current business. Now, ICE are forever associated with €27bn in fines (so far).

Tesla may have the current lead in battery tech and in marketing, but on just about every other front, Volkswagen is just an immense force. It'll take them a while to perfect electric drivetrains, but once them have them, production (what has plagued Tesla) will be no issue.

Daimler, too, has committed $42 billion.

These are major forces.

Quantum Mechanics doesn't really allow for a particle to have many of a set of incompatible properties at the same time (like your example of both spin down and up).

What Quantum Mechanics actually postulates is that even talking about those properties makes little sense if somebody doesn't look at them (it's more of the tree falling with nobody to hear paradox), and once you look you may get one of the properties with some probability.
The Society for Amateur Radio Astronomy (SARA) mailing list and website (http://www.radio-astronomy.org/) should be your first stop. There's also a decently active (daily) radio astronomy news feeds/forum over at http://notabug.io/t/radioastronomy . Like others have said, cheap SDR receivers like RTL-SDR based devices have made it easy to get involved.
Came here to say this. I want to visit Egypt for the history but I honestly think I'd be content with the museums in NYC and London.

Only Giza and Luxor are my list still, I'll have to wait until a safer time though according to friends who just went and didn't have a pleasant experience.
Easy health tips for remote workers
Well, the city has done very little to move density forward. They continue to approve buildings that are mostly overpriced, poorly built, studio apartments.

The other problem is that the commute pattern in Portland isn't into downtown only. There are people who commute from the east side of town, through downtown, through the tunnel (or one of the other limited transit options over the hills) to Beaverton or Hillsboro to work at Nike, Intel, etc. The efficient public transit options for that commute simply don't exist. It can take 1.5+ hours to do that via MAX and bus.
there might nog even be a 'real' reason. This happens a lot more than you may think. Visa waivers can be arbitrarily rejected (it's in the small print), if you encounter an official having a bad day, you may be out of luck.

If your visa waiver is rejected, you are suddenly illegally accessing the country (you get put in the next flight back by armed officers; if there is no flight back, you get to wait in a federal prison until there is).

Once back, you can never apply for a waiver again, so it's up to getting a real visa. The process is not made for that at all, since they except anyone from the waiver countries to just get a waiver. That results in long processes, many, many forms, long interviews, and an arbitrary time period, after which you may or may not get the visa (again, seemingly up to the arbitration of someone needing to not have a bad day).
Personally, I don't find it any more concerning that many software engineers with extensive professional web development experience had such a difficult time understanding React when it came out. (It was universally ridiculed and dismissed for about a year after it came out.)

It's a different mental model. It doesn't "click" immediately for everyone but I've seen it "click" enough times for both beginners and experienced developers that I'm not worried about it.
I am sympathetic to your incredulity but you are the one that needs to realize that yes these people exist and this one is here on HN discussing his mass murder plans with you.

Years ago I looked into treating pathfinding in EVE as a graph problem because I was annoyed by losing money in the collapse of the Mt. Gox scam and read that its owner had solved the same problem. I thought I'd show him up by showing how easy it is to blow his terrible PHP code out of the water. :)

You can find the writeup and a link to the code on my blog:

A model you might look at if you are a majority or 100% shareholder is to have a separate AWS account that you control 100%. You can have write-only S3 buckets that another AWS account can post to. You should be able to do this with other cloud systems as well. You can then use replication rules to copy data from your production AWS account to this backup one.

Although I am the technical co-founder in this situation, I am protecting myself against mistakes made by senior technical staff. It would also protect to a measure against malicious action.

I certainly hope I never have a dispute with my business partner. If I did, I would try to resolve it amicably and if necessary resort to the courts. At no point would I even dream of cutting off my nose to spite my face by damaging production systems for example or deleting code. That just gives the other side ammunition at best and at worst the consequences can be very serious [0]

As others have noted, there is little you can do to stop a trusted director-level partner or employee if a switch flips and they suddenly become evil. Setting up a write-only backup system is about the best you can do... but if you're non-technical who are you going to trust to do this?

AirPods Are Now One of Apple’s Most Important Products
I am focusing on one day at a time, one week at a time. Seeing a psychotherapist and attending various groups when I have the energy.

Burnout for me is a deeply physical experience of contant tension and utter exhaustion, with mental overwhelm and low stress-tolerance. So I find that I have to take things on the moment-by-moment level to see what I'm good for, and give myself permission to cancel everything if need be.

I'm also taking small, but practical and tangible steps towards a difficult life transition and health goal. Each step I take (there have been many) has lifted a bit of weight off me and put wind in my sails, because I've been on the fence about it for so long. I really enjoy and appreciate these 'small wins'.

Even on that personal journey side of things, I am not planning much, if anything, beyond the next day or two at a time (even while I have longer-term projects I am working on).

I have put my business on indefinite 'tickover', servicing existing clients but not doing any work of expansion at this stage. I have communicated with all staff about that as well and let them know that I am not available for any kind of meetings, calls or creative work.

I have 'uncommitted' from various projects (whether personal or shared/group) for which the ball was in my court. This alone gave me a lot of headspace to move forward in other ways.

I'm sleeping a lot, mostly at night, with some daytime naps.
I've been enjoying playing RuneScape again, spending time tidying up and decluttering at home, sitting in cafes, going for short walks, doing self-care stuff.

People say to read books, but part of my burnout was information overwhelm. The one book that's been helping me a lot is Essentialism by Greg McKeown. GTD is also helpful but only when I have the energy to follow its guidelines.

For me the trick is to just really not expect anything much of myself for now. It's also Winter where I am, so I can call it hibernation, which helps.

One general thing that has really helped is being honest about where I am at, coming out to other people about it, and treating this burned-out stage of life as seriously as if I had pneumonia. Treating it as a friend rather than an enemy.

Hope this helps.

Even some things are super easy to do alone. One of the things I really enjoyed doing was drifting through wormhole space in a stratios salvaging abandoned POS and drones while watching Netflix/listening to music. Super relaxing

I think I still have around 3B in faction drones and random loot from a couple of weeks of jumping around exploring. Super fun game, you just need to find your niche.
Anyone have a Bluetooth earbuds that works flawlessly with Ubuntu?

I recently got a pair of Funcl AI buds, works great with my phone but I connect on computer and there's constant skipping. I gather this is a common problem.
Let's see. As a child, some family lived on a farm. No running water. No indoor plumbing. Coal stove. So you heated water for bathing on the stove. At night, and especially in the winter, you used a chamber pot. But hey, they had electricity!

And a couple decades ago, living off the grid in the US, it was sometimes pretty much the same. One winter, I lived in a tipi. There was a communal outhouse. But hey, I did have a down bag.

So whatever, any well-equipped van would have a composting toilet. And a solar-heated water tank, with a portable shower. Just like RV stuff, but on a smaller scale.
Communism implies violence against anybody who does not wish to have the fruits of their labour stolen from them by the state. If people had the choice as to whether or not they can keep the wealth they generated, or to give it up "for the greater good," then which option do you think most people would take if they were not under threat of violence?

This is why communism simply cannot work. If you give people choice, it turns out they generate wealth not only for themselves - but they generate wealth for the societies in which they live too. This is what Adam Smith calls the invisible hand. Free markets economies are prosperous because people's self-interest leads to innovation and improved standard of living for everyone.

http://freedomschool.us/how-an-economy-grows.pdf

Communism is rooted in jealousy. Even though people owe their standard of living to the merits of the capitalists which built their societies, they're bitter because they are not among the most wealthy. It is no surprise that there are now countless examples of it being tried in the real world and it leading to all around suffering. The "dictatorship of the proletariat" is always going to be controlled by bitter people, and they're going to use their newly found powers to extract wealth in attempt to cure their own bitterness.

You suggest that technology would progress to free us of natural resource constraints, why wouldn't it also free us of manpower constraints? (after all the robots are coming).

As for population going to zero, I suspect it'll be a while -- and that we could increase birth rates with financial incentives, 2-3 years parental leave wouldn't be very dystopian :)
