We're headed for a potentially disastrous future as a result of climate change being viewed as a hoax and old diseases being revived. I view the potential destruction of the human race as being far more dangerous than potentially some checks and balances on tech companies using 'faulty algorithms' as an excuse for why their content engines keep recommending conspiracy theories and false information to everyone.

While the earth's climate ends up being permanently altered and forever affecting human habitation we'll still be arguing about how vaccines are turning the frogs gay.
They are legal medicine. If you suffer from serious disease, doctor will prescribe them to you.

Now interesting question is: if someone wants to have big muscles - is it serious disease? In some sense it's similar to silicon breast implants - in both cases it's mental 'disease'/disfunction/discomfort - so some doctor's help is needed. Or surgery due to bad looking nose eg.
My point was not that Churchill wanted fascism or communism. The point was that Hitler was a genocidal leader and that the British/Victorian government during the 20th century also perpetuated genocide, directly or through inaction.

Hitler didn't take a "peacetime situation." There was hyperinflation in Germany post WWI, and a massive arms and military-industrial build up all the way through the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Furthermore, Hitler didn't want to "abolish democracy everywhere" - his objectives were to make Germany self-sufficient and in control of Europe. He was certainly anti-democracy in terms of slowness, and believed in stronger centralized power, but I don't think he cared if South American states for example were democratic or not.

The British Empire didn't "dissolve" itself in India - there were decades of non-violent protest, including strong political pressure after WWI (Britain promised to give India independence after WWI, but didn't). Millions of lives were lost in this process both due to colonial brutality as well as 1MM+ dead due to the partition of India and Pakistan and it's aftermath.

Look up books like Late Victorian Holocausts [1], which make the exact argument of how British and other colonial governments created or at least prolonged famine situations across the world.

Happy to discuss further if you want to.

> Hopefully it will have upgradeable parts again (at least RAM and disk).

Pretty sure that won't happen. Don't know why, but somebody in control thinks that professional users prefer the slimmest available device over being able to put in a bigger SSD or more RAM when they need to. Better start looking for something else, because the new MBPs are no "replacements" to the one you have.
A hint is in how they go out of their way to reassure the reader that no new hardware needs to be installed on the aircraft to support this. The actual answer, though, is down in the "Impact" section:

> Customers who operate an aircraft or an aircraft fleet and are looking to be compliant with the mandatory FAA/ICAO/EASA flight tracking requirements, can do so now with our space based ADS-B constellation network and tracking their fleets under RadarBox.com Business accounts.

i.e. airlines (by law) need to constantly know where their planes are, especially when something goes wrong, and they pay companies like this to do the tracking.
If this were being applied to the media, where the links come from, we wouldn't need to apply it to tech sites, where the links are shared.

This doesn't cover all cases but it's offloading the responsibility from "journalists" to tech.

If the media were honest at all they'd acknowledge that they're most of the problem.

> avoid the mental work

for me, that's the most alluring part. i find (good) coding or design work leads to decision fatigue. more stuff means more decisions. less stuff means less decisions (even if the initial purchase requires a bit more effort).

if i could manage to keep things organised after a long day, i'd probably do that. but some people need a strict set of rules, some people need the opposite (most people just cope/get by and never think about it - is that better or worse?).

There is nothing special about drugs that means they have side effects while other things don't.

Take epo for instance. What makes epo risky is not epo, but the increase in red blood cells. Now other things that increase red blood cells like intense training at high altitudes have the same risk. But we always draw the line with drugs.

It's definitely cultural. Imagine a ruling body finds out about a performance enhancing drug and a performance enhancing technique. They have the same risks. Which gets banned?

I hope that startups like Omni (https://beomni.com) / autonomous cars + cheap remote storage end up working out well, because it would allow people to not actually need to own the things they’re not sentimental about.

I love living light and spending time all over the world, but it seems super inefficient for me to need to lug all my crap everywhere every time I move, when the same exact crap is available in every locale.

Typical example is a drill/toolkit, if I’m only going to use it occasionally, wouldn’t it be great if I could just borrow one one off for a day here or there? I don’t need to own it, I just want to use it. Multiply across all the sufficiently generic things I make use of in life, make it convenient and cheap enough I can depend on those things often, and you can live only truly owning the things you actually care about.

We are actually in agreement, you're right. I just wanted to say that trying to decide too actively on what to keep, and what to let go may be too tiring and working against your purpose.

The method I mentioned is a way to set things in motion, and your brain unconsciously decides what to keep by getting it from that pile. Then you can give the rest (or some of it) away.

Hope it helps.
> Who decides what is a "proven source of disinformation"?

That question doesn't get nearly enough attention among those decrying the rise of fake news. Even the NYT occasionally gets it wrong. Does that make them a "proven source of disinformation"?

The answer is not to throw your hands in the air and concede to factual relativism. But the first step to solving this problem is to recognize that it is a very, very difficult problem.

The problem is that on iOS Apple's "quality control" includes banning normal and fun human activities such as sex.

If that is now coming to the Mac as well then I will stop being Mac user and I will move away from Apple's platforms altogether.

Requiring Apple's permission to run WireGuard automatically means requring the permission of the government as well.

You don't even have to resort to China to see why that is bad. Many western governments are aggressively working towards banning various forms of encrypted communications.

I think any effective, honest campaign against lying in public life has to take both newspapers and politicians into account somehow. UK press regulation is absent but at the same time we have onerous libel law.

If she initiated to break a marriage by cheating, she did out of her own volition and should have been mindful of her actions having consequences, rather than shifting the burden conveniently on husband.

In other cases where also the degree and market value of the divorcee woman is close to zero, its also the responsibility of the her to get back to college with a loan of her own. This is because the husband is already contributing equally towards the living expenses of kids+house financially and is taking care of it( its not nil) along with providing for wife for whatever the benefit I got from her. So the husband doesn't owe her anything. These are the terms by default by entering the contract.

If I was a stay at home dad, I did get covered with a roof, food and cloth. Not only that, I get enough security in such matrimonial home from any threat of life, the alternative being homelessness ceteris paribus. My contribution towards my working wife is way lesser in value compared to what she gives me even after I took care of her children who were my children as well.

So I can't ask for alimony as if I earned it in case of divorce. Alimony should at best be a loan not security. You got to list out the contributions of husband during the marriage too!

Just because my ex-wife was a stay at home mom doesn't make me a free cash supply after marriage. Her alimony is temporary to find herself a job and she is expected to stand on her own feet as soon as possible. I'd also argue that she should pay back with interest whatever it took to support her from financial destitution post marriage. The husband is not at all obligated to pay for someone's living, even if she was his wife before.

Even after correcting and compensating with current rules of alimony, if husbands are richer and wives are poorer financially after divorce, that itself is an indication of husband's cost towards such marriage and working wife's freebies of such marriage. Even then, most women are initiating the divorce because financially poorer doesn't mean being in completely destitute. Free money!

MISRA C is annoying mostly if you have to change the codebase to fit the standard. If you iteratively solve MISRA warnings they become second nature and you almost don't make them anymore.

What is annoying is the paperwork when you need a deviation. However that's kind of the point of the process. Make it annoying enough that people really think about whether the deviation is necessary.

At the same time it's only a coding standard. Not a panacea for all your coding issues. You can have 100% MISRA conformant spaghetti.

It does reduce the "shoot yourself in the foot" surface area a little bit though.
so... personally? were I to shell out unusual money for experimental treatments, I'd be way more comfortable with a pay-for-performance model. Like if my doctors think I've got a year left, and you think you can cure me for $120K, sure, that seems like a totally reasonable deal if you can actually cure me (and maybe even good for everyone, regardless of if I live or die, if you then use what you learned from me to help others.)

But I'm a computer nerd, not a doctor. I'm not really in a position to tell the difference if you are giving me sugar pills.

Seems to me like we'd align incentives if I'll give you 1/10th that for every year I live past treatment, maybe for the next 20 years (say you have a 50% success rate; I'm not objecting to you taking my money if you can cure me, I just don't want to pay you if you don't) I mean, maybe even I put ten years of that in escrow or what have you up front...

I mean, that's the thing, it is experimental and experimental medicine seems totally reasonable if I'm probably gonna die with non-experimental treatment... but it seems like incentives are misaligned if a for-profit entity gets to offer up "experimental" treatment that I can't tell from sugar pills and they get paid regardless of efficacy.

(I think paying for conventional medicine regardless of efficacy is probably fine, 'cause I think there are standards treatments have to meet before they become 'conventional medicine' - and obviously, 'experimental' treatments don't have to meet that high bar.)

That is because climate alarmism has been around for quite a while and anybody who has memory longer than a goldfish's can easily recollect the promised catastrophes which just didn't happen. Anti-vaccine nonsense is often painted as refusal to do all vaccines (there are nuts like that but they are few) rather than not exactly groundless suspicion that SOME new vaccines and aggressive vaccination regiments are pushed onto public not for the benefit of people but rather for the benefit of pharmas and because of evident willful misrepresentation of potential for dangerous side effects - not to mention that the very notion of forced medication strikes many people as utterly totalitarian.

These movements are growing precisely because of persistent lying, exaggerations, and totalitarian inclinations of people who promote climate "change" (a good example of Orwellian newspeak, isn't it?) and ever-growing number of must-do vaccines as reason for more taxation and more corporate welfare. A normal human reaction to being forced to submit is to resist. Even if force is supposed to be for the victim's own good.

Going for cubesats, since info is easier to assemble.

Cost of the satellite itself depends on the payload and on the attitude-control requirements - you can get a feel for rough costs by looking at the parts costs from suppliers like [1], adding in highly-skilled labor costs, etc. Numbers I've heard for simpler, smaller RF-only sats can be about $50K, while fancier things like Planet's Dove earth-observation sats (custom-built telescopes, precise pointing, high-bandwidth ground links) can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. (This is from what they've said to the press; Planet is very cagey about revealing precise cost numbers.)

Once you've built them, it's about $100K-$500K to launch them to LEO, depending on size (e.g. Nanoracks [2] will launch a 1U via the ISS for $85K, while Spaceflight Inc. [3] launches a 3U for $300K, or a 6U for $550K, or a 12U (who even builds those??) for about $1M).

So let's say a moderate-cost example would be a 3U with off-the-shelf payload hardware. Construction cost ~$100K, launch cost $300K, so $400K per satellite. You want a constellation of 50, that puts you at $20M.

For a more general Fermi-esque estimate, I'd say $2M-$200M depending on size and complexity of your constellation. Compare this to the cost of a single Falcon 9 launch at ~$60M, or to the $3.5B total cost of the Iridium NEXT constellation that SpaceX just finished launching.

What complete and utter bullshit. Yes, not all of the predictions behind climate change have come true; science evolves and new predictions or estimations are made as advancements in technology grow. Yet we've seen many of the predictions come true and many far worse things start to pop up, including the mass decline of insects worldwide and the rapidly rising sea level.
