Having one remote is a huge advantage that a lot of people overlook. Most people don't want to think, "Oh, I'm using the Roku, which remote is that?"

It sounds dumb, but it is a major barrier for both of my parents. I ended up just switching them both to Harmony remotes that I preprogrammed, which is far from ideal and most people won't want to do that.

Sounds small when it's the price of a single fill up but $3/gallon would cost US drivers about $500 billion annually and that's before the second order effects of making basically every single good and service more expensive along with it.

I mean losing Florida outright would cost $1 trillion annually so you got me there. As long as we keep half of Florida we're probably good though.

Let that sink in. $3/gallon is about the same as losing the entirety of Ohio. There's a reason we fight wars over this stuff. I desperately want to be better to our environment but these kinds of 'simple solutions' can't possibly work in isolation. Reducing consumption sounds nice until you remember all the people whose lives depend on that consumption to live.

A set of instructions that would allow the end user to build
something cannot be subject to any copyright license insofar as it doesn't actually contain the software that is bound by said license.

The unofficial patches are presumably by definition not copyright the project considering they are written by a third party.

This is kind of how multiple source based packages work. Nothing is being distributed by the repo save instructions the end user does the fetching and building.

Normally people do a small amount of research before attacking volunteers who are providing free labor to make their package more broadly available.

An example dialog could have been opened like so.

"We at the Pale Moon project prefer that distributions package as close as possible to the default experience to ensure that all users have the same experience and aid in troubleshooting. Can we talk about the patches that are being distributed with Pale Moon to see if they are really needed for our product to work on your OS?"

If no agreement can ultimately be reached respectfully ask for it not to be distributed but use the know how generated to add a forum post "Building on OpenBSD" not burning any bridges AND actually profiting from the experience.

Instead Pale Moon devs appear to have learned nothing from the interaction.

I've noticed that you didn't bother to address the technical reasons whatsoever. Your browser is probably the best vector into your system and malware no longer just screws up your system. It's now common for malware to encrypt your files and hold them for ransom.

In effect an out of date firefox means that malware authors can use up to date firefox's security fixes to target users using old software that perforce is vulnerable to the same attacks. This needn't be specifically targeted at JUST palemoon users. All users of out of date firefox represent a possible victim pool with attractively low security.

Facebook's Libra: What to Expect at Launch
And just last Friday in my walk home, two young gentlemen on scooters on the sidewalk, riding in the direction I was walking, passed by me at 20 mph, on my left, just as I was stepping left around something in my path and I came very close to being hit. Had I stepped a second earlier I could have been severely injured, even killed.

I've been walking to/from work for 23 years, and I've never felt less safe on the sidewalk. I abhor these scooters because of how the users of them disregard the safety of pedestrians.
Maybe we should look at why these people are vulnerable in the first place.

I suspect we would be way more likely to succeed in empowering undocumented people by removing barriers, rather than erecting new constraints against them and a way to earn a living.

But then again, few probably care about the long-term future of illegal immigrants. A charity budget is a way easier number to show-off than a small-looking % increase in spending power through economic activity... Who cares if hundreds of thousands of people waste away their productive years in legal limbo, as long as they don't disgrace our country by working for less than the minimum wage we decided on.
So there were three deaths for who knows how many rides. How does this compare with bikes and cars? Surely some people die using those or any other means of transport, including walking.
this is actually really cool!

Yeah, it's much easier and cheaper to have someone else emit all of it (and most likely more than we would have) on your behalf on the other side of the world. Locally it wouldn't fly, because people don't like the idea of just burning it and releasing all of the pollutants, but if you ship it in the container that would otherwise go empty anyway, and then they do it for you, it's okay.

They're examples of why "just let patients treat themselves" is frequently a horrible idea.

A layperson shouldn't be diagnosing something like diabetes. Once you're on insulin, refills will typically be a (free!) phone call or email away. My daughter's on growth hormone, for example. Obtaining a new prescription when we run out of refills doesn't require payment or a visit. (The meds themselves do cost an insane amount, of course, and the doc does like to see her once in a while to make sure we've got the dosing right, which seems reasonable.)
Right, but at least with a different email provider it's infinitely more likely to get actual support if this happens.

That would measure only US transportation vessels between US ports, not imports or exports.

It would exclude Navy, Coastguard, fishing, pleasure vessels and I would assume cruise ships.

Sea transportion between ports is limited in the USA due to a law preventing non-US ships transporting between US ports.

This could be done through the Paris MOU yes. The term is "Port State Control" and the way it works is that when you get to a Port, the Port State, not your Flag State has a say in whether you can enter and leave.

As originally conceived the Paris MOU was about labour standards. European ports didn't like the fact that "Flags of Convenience" (legally, "Open Register" countries, where you can register a ship without any relationship to that country) were allowing ships in their register to have crew that weren't meeting European labour standards. Long working hours, poor pay, no healthcare and so on.

But by coincidence, as the meeting to sign the MOU was starting a terrible accident happened. Suddenly the headlines were about this nasty shipping accident, and you've got a bunch of people in Paris negotiating a new international agreement, so... today the Paris MOU is very interested in safety, with worker rights being a subsidiary consideration (after all if you're at the end of your fourth 16 hour shift this week you're probably not terribly safe if you're even still awake) but it also created this idea of Port State Control now seen in similar institutions around the world.

The US already de facto exercises Port State Control, and has laws which effectively bar foreign ships from doing a lot of stuff in US territory anyway - it could make a pollution regulation today if it cared, which obviously at least the Trump administration does not. But PSC wasn't really a thing anywhere else before the Paris MOU.
> And a hardware keyboard doesn't mean you can't make the user interface better.

How can you do this when the device has already been shipped with the keyboard? Unless you're suggesting that Blackberry offers an unrealistic replacement program to change the keys and their function. Also tactile keyboard takes away a significant screen real estate. The market has also proven that people want bigger screens. There is no disputing that.
> aggregated statistics (across all fields, all ranks, tenure-track/non-tenure-track, etc) are useless because of the variance

Could you expound on that? How does the variance in underlying data cause aggregated statistics to lose usefulness?
In the late 80s, Virginia Tech's CS department mandated A/UX on a Mac 2, making us incompatible with every other computer on campus. It was great having a real Unix, but since networking wasn't a big thing yet, it was still pretty isolated. (The campus had a computerized phone system that could have been adapted to networking, but it wasn't set up for it, and in fact hampered even dial-up networking because of the nonstandard phone jacks.) CS assignments were submitted on floppy disk.
Comcast Launches Eye Control for the TV, an Aid for Physically Disabled Viewers
Creatine Phosphate is a fuel - it is converted very quickly and the muscles only store tiny amounts (enough for a few seconds only), and creatine is used in recycling ATP as you say.

I didn't realise lactic acid was used to provide energy so thanks for mentioning this - having looked it up though, this produces tiny amounts during anaerobic respiration at which time glucose is still the main energy provider.

Blood glucose may rise because your body has released stored glucose from the liver, but this takes time - there is a delay between blood sugar levels dropping (due to the intense exercise) and the liver releasing stores and it also takes time for the full aerobic cycle to produce significant quantities of energy and convert that glucose

I am most definitely not an expert here so details may be incorrect, but I looked into this when I started running. I was focused on how to maintain energy levels over long distances so may have a different perspective from someone more interested in weight training or other high intensity/short-duration exercise.

I found [1] useful as a simple overview of the different energy producing mechanisms, and [2] goes into far more detail than I can readily understand...

You're conflating miners and brokerages and they don't operate nearly anything like each other.

Miners do not custody funds. Large miners that control a farm can't run on empty, they need to pay for space, hardware, and electricity - they need to sell through crypto through a brokerage to end users to make a profit. The brokerage (e.g. Coinbase) may then custody those funds on behalf of brokerage users, but the miner no longer has it.

Mining pools directly pay out the pool contributors in crypto who then themselves decide to either save or spend.

There are some "cloud mining" services but they don't account for a lot of power and most end users play with them at a loss.

A brokerage does not own or generate new coin, it simply holds it on behalf of users and enables exchanges between users via the market.

"[Coinbase] claim that it will take a few days to process the transaction" -> This is very vague. When you withdraw crypto it generally happens near instantly. If you're talking about a purchase which involves processing a fiat withdrawal from a bank, that's not the same thing.

So marginal incremental improvement in drive-train technology and electronic doodads? That's how I read that list you gave me.

Cars these days don't age any better than cars from 20yr ago or the more modern cars of the 90s.

I guess anti-corrosion has improved but it hasn't improved by that much. You still have plenty of vehicles that repeatedly rust out in some spot because the salt gets flung there and the surface coatings aren't adequate to stop it.
This decision will hopefully have positive follow on effects for mental health care.

Currently, (in California, so outside the jurisdiction of the court in the article), it is extremely difficult to get someone that is coherent, but violent or suicidal admitted to a hospital, even if they have insurance, doctors and family members that agree with hospitalization, etc.

The next time someone like this is denied admission, and then commits suicide or murders a bunch of people at a school, religious / political gathering, etc, I hope the facility that denied admission is held financially responsible, and these policies are changed as a result.
There is a company called Loop that is shipping and re-using packaging. Much of it is aluminum. (Personally I'm looking forward to laundry detergent not coming in an extremely thick single-use plastic thing I know will end up in a landfill.)

Glass is very heavy relative to other materials so you've got to include the added shipping weight into CO2 calculations. Glass makes a lot of sense for things you don't buy very often where the ratio of product-use-count vs weight is high (condiments, cleaning products, personal-hygiene, etc).

I'm not the person you responded to, but are people buying them?

I'd actually be curious how many people are buying them - it wasn't enough to save RIM. I think not as popular as the iPhone is a pretty big understatement and thinking that's mostly about Apple's marketing comes across as pretty clueless to me.

Some people still prefer horses to cars, but it'd be a generally bad idea for someone getting into the transportation business to focus on horse drawn carriages.

Popular doesn't necessarily mean better, but when you're an extreme outlier compared to what's dominant in the market and what's dominant in the market directly out-competed your preference when it had dominant market advantage, there's probably a reason.

This comment seems so weird - it's just a European brand - not a rich one. Alfa Romeo is nowhere near the price of a Rolls.
