how much does it cost to keep the lights on really?

Depends. Would you like original reporting based on reporters actually going somewhere and investigating, and not just reviewing documents in the evenings? Would you like them to have health insurance and a retirement plan?

Should the publication be edited and fact-checked? Should their website be capable of supporting more immersive style than simple blog posts: videos, visualizations, timelines, graphs? Should they host independently or remain at the mercy of censors at YouTube?

Would it only cover one city? One country? A big one like the US or an organization like the EU? The whole world?

The cost can easily range from $20 a month to $20 million a month.
That's a good portion of it. Of course, you can do all the branding you want and be as productive as you want and have it fail because you aren't in the right circle of folks to make your career take of. Basically all successful artists in the 20th century have had this last bit.

Creativity, productivity, hard work, or mastering something doesn't get you very far.

His sense of absolute pitch shifted in later age, leaving him constantly unsure as to the correctness of the notes he was playing. The music was intended to be a check against any confusion arising from this. At least this is what he claims. Would be interesting to know if this was necessarily entirely psychological or not.
I disagree, Descartes believes that he had proven the existence of "a priori" thought, a place from which thinking could be conducted without doubt - that was the point of his project. That place is also the only reliable locus of personhood in his view. Future thinkers who talked about "embodied" thinking, were conceiving of a personhood that could exist before that a priori consciousness, rather than as a doubtful thing perceived by it.

But anyway, I am not a believer in this because a lot of data that I'm aware of flies to the cloud already pre-compressed. Not because it saves hard space, but because it saves bandwidth and time during transfer from user land. I've never seen any algorithm take a compressed file and smash it down to anything less than 98%. Maybe I'm a loon living in a niche area though.

Getting there...

IMHO you need to ditch the wrapper divs and put a single 'main' in there. Then you need to apply CSS Grid to the outer container with something sensible for the outer rows to do the wrapper thing more succinctly. Also get rid of the div around the footer.

There are also a few spans too many around the links at the start of each article, if you can do things with pseudo elements instead then I think you will like it that way - moving presentational stuff out the document into the stylesheet.

Also be bold with the classes. If you are using elements instead of divs then you can style them without the class tags.

Don't take these points as criticisms, there is a lot to unlearn with CSS grid and using proper elements instead of the usual divs. I don't think you need the armbands any more, it is good to see!

> Germany [...] has employment laws that are actually enforced, but only if you go to court (but contrary to popular belief, don't make you "unfireable", just allow the employee to get a few thousand EUR as compensation for when the employer does try their hand at something exploitative - and they will, hoping you're not aware of your rights)

Thousand time yes! In case one is not fluent in German they behave like shark smelling the blood. Overtime, underdog tasks, imposing ridiculous decisions, defaming reprimands (Abmahnung). The labour code is on one's side, but good luck finding a lawyer who'll engage in an individual case.

> All while lowballing immigrants in terms of salary and imposing an industrial-grade glass ceiling for any non-German who tries to work here. E.g. they will boast how their company of 300 has over 80 nationalities and work exclusively in English (because 90% of clients are American/British) but oddly enough, everyone in mid-upper/upper management is white and German.

Forget about English speaking environment in Germany - it's a trap, especially when managers and directors are German. Anytime the shit hits the fan, the communication fallbacks into local language because that's the language of the labour code. They will try to screw one over while wrongfully accusing of various things and breaching rules which previously "didn't matter".

Swedish Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Nominated for Nobel Prize
You probably won't find professional kitchens using stoneware, the only exceptions I can think of would be things like tagines, where its more down to cultural baggage, than inherent properties of the material. I'm not sure you'd find much cast iron either, who wants to be lugging around cast iron all day.

Use in professional kitchen doesn't prove some underlying superiority, its just a different set of optimisations.

I want to make a caserole, fry on hob, then in the oven, in a dish that I can present on the table, put the leftovers in the fridge, and be able to put the container back in the oven or microwave to reheat. That isn't what a professional kitchen is optimising for.

I'm going to assume you're honestly sticking up for the internet.

I don't think this piece is contradicting to the fact the internet has brought lots of good things as well, especially in when it comes to making information accessible and easy to use/copy etc.

But it's pointing out that we also lost something in that process. Which sometimes can be hard to put a finger on, seeing as it's mostly about letting ourselves be bored, letting ourself be inspired from something within.
I was looking for an intro on economics of reuse the the other day but I haven't found anything useful.

So, for example, if law allowed only for a small number of different container types (to turn them into a commodity) and then taxed production of those containers heavily, what exactly would happen?

Naively, one would expect companies to cut costs by buying second-hand containers rather than buying expensive new ones.

That would create a market for used containers. For an ordinary person it would be very much like deposit: Buy stuff with the price of container included, then sell the container to get back the money.

It would, obviously, provide a new way to cheat: Produce new containers and sell them as used ones, thus avoiding the tax. But that's just a tax avoidance trick and could be dealt with using the existing anti-tax-avoidance mechanisms.

It would be interesting to know what would be the unintended consequences of such a law.
Well, again that is not the same thing. It's about 'personhood' only in the sense of existence.

To quote Wikipedia:

"While other knowledge could be a figment of imagination, deception, or mistake, Descartes asserted that the very act of doubting one's own existence served—at minimum—as proof of the reality of one's own mind; there must be a thinking entity—in this case the self—for there to be a thought."
My goodness, that story is truly incredible.

This Alara Mills is an utterly reprehensible character, and her comments are astounding.

Suicide is not part of conventional military doctrine. Pilots are tremendously expensive and take time to train, so they are not expendable. One of the things going badly wrong for Hitler by the time of the Normandy invasion was he was running out of trained pilots. Factories can build ten more planes when you lose ten per night, but your pilot training can't replace ten men overnight regardless of whether those men are dead or in POW camps.

The RAF was losing planes too of course, but mostly in friendly territory, so it kept getting the pilots back. Put them in a new plane and you've kept all that valuable real world experience.
Well, Qatar did.

And for my own country, Russia, nope. It is just few steps away from becoming North Korea now...

Many chefs in high end restaurants won't accept a microwave. Michel Roux Jr even complained when contestants used them on British TV show Masterchef.
At this point, though, I don't know many people who go there out of patriotism or brand loyalty.

They mostly go there because it's convenient and it's cheap enough, and quality is usually acceptable given the price. I sometimes get coffee there not because I'm expecting something great, but because I need a quick infusion of caffeine-containing liquid and Tim's is 10 meters from my front door while everything else is further.

In my mind, Tim Hortons is all about location. They're everywhere. And even if the quality is mediocre, at least it's consistently mediocre so I know what I'm getting. :)

I don't think it is a good idea to mix payload data and consistency mechanisms. Better keep the two split. For instance, if you want to ensure that your system is consstent, you can identify your events in such a way that you can infer the previous in sequence (e.g. if you received event 1 and 3, you know that you've lost event 2).

This way you keep two separate, simple mechanisms to deal with two problems, rather than getting one more intricated problem.
The waste problem is regulatory. If the nuclear regulatory authorities allowed us to build breeder reactors and thorium reactors the waste situation would basically go away.

Other than that there's a lot of info online nowadays. EEVblog aside from the forums has a nice youtube channel with videos with topics that range from beginner to advanced, GreatScott! is another one that explains things really well. Ben Eater has also a very interesting channel.
Also check other people's projects similar to things you would like to make.
As for kits, I started with the Arduino starter kit, it comes with a project book and a few varied components, after that I started buying components locally or from major international component shops and going towards the things that interested me the most in electronics.

The worst bugs (C++)
Copper tape on cardboard.

Cardboard is a fantastic material. You can draw the schematic on, and then run copper tape along the schematic. It's easy to annotate, since you just need to use a pen. It's able to handle much more current than a breadboard, since the copper tape has a lot more metal than thin wires. You can solder directly to it, and with tape (or some other insulating material) you can cross wires without having them short.

You can also work with SMT ICs. Using a pair of scissors, you can make your own pads and solder to them. I connected an SO8 to read off the SPI data using copper tape. I built an amplifier using a spare Novena amplifier IC on cardboard with copper tape. And I have a level shifter done on cardboard with copper tape.
