> Most hotel and airline miles allow for C. It might cost a fee to transfer them but that's the same with any monetary transfer.

While true, in a lot of cases it ends up costing almost as much as they are worth to transfer them, so I'd argue it's different.
If anything, social media has enabled newer generations to express themselves in "meaningful" ways more than ever. It may not be as a full-time profession, but plenty of people create for hobby. See: the hundreds of thousands of IG/Youtube accounts for musicians, designers, artists, and amateur poets.
What good does recognizing someone's traumas do, exactly?

The leading therapeutic modality, CBT, specifically says not to do this -- to basically ignore and try to get past trauma by attempting to live a better life moving forward, rather than rehashing the past and perpetually opening old wounds.
> The purpose of this site is to recapture, explore and celebrate the Art of Computer Programming.

There's real good stuff here. Minor quibble: 'The Art of Computer Programming' is a well known series of books by Donald Knuth. You might say:

"The purpose of this site is to recapture, explore and celebrate the art of computer programming."
From the very same link you provided (fetched via WebArchive[0], as FAO seems down right now):

>However, deforestation is the second-leading cause of climate change after burning fossil fuels and accounts for nearly 20 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions — more than the world’s entire transport sector.

How can we be doing "not that bad" and it be the second-leading cause? These do not equate.

The alternative is staring into space, being aware of your surroundings, focusing your thoughts on the things going around in your immediate life, rather than using every available 20 second period of time to stare at a screen. Sure, people read crap on print while on the train before, but people weren't whipping out the paper for those 30 seconds in the elevator or while walking across the street.
whats the use-case for an encryption layer?
This is semi-unrelated, and I've kind of lost hope of cryptocurrencies ever achieving popularity (since all everyone seems to do with them is speculate), but I recently came across a page explaining Stellar and it seems to me like it's the best of all worlds (decentralized, fast confirmations, inflationary, no mining, etc).

Does anyone know what the downsides are? I haven't been able to find any posted anywhere, but I don't trust something until I've seen the cons, so I'm wondering if anyone here has looked into it.

So one of the major bats being affected by wind energy in the south are Hoary bats. While they aren't currently endangered, they are very elusive and could become endangered if current mortality rates continue.

"The hoary bat population could decline by as much as 90% in the next 50 years if the initial population size is near 2.5 million bats and annual population growth rate is similar to rates estimated for other bat species (λ = 1.01)"
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00063...

In Hawaii, there is a subspecies of the Hoary bat that is endangered and primarily threatened by wind turbines. There are also studies happening out there on wind turbines (I applied to work for the study like a year ago, I don't think BCI will be publishing anything any time soon).

RE this study - I believe this is part of the work being done by Dr. Sara Weaver at Texas State. I don't know that she's published much on it yet, it's been very hush-hush because of the huge implications it could have if successful. The NRG tech being used is mentioned in the Texas State article below.

That being said, wind energy is like... maybe #2 or #3 threat to bats right now. The biggest one being a disease called white-nose syndrome that is absolutely devastating hibernating bats.

A third major danger to bats is human persecution. People either are scared of bats, or hunt them for food. In places like Australia, bats are sometimes seen as a nuisance where the congregate in large numbers and poop. Bat Conservation International has a lot of articles and social media messages talking about how bats are threatened

Much of the article is about Brian Goss's setup. Goss is not using ham radio. He is receiving satellite broadcasts and re-transmitting them with a goTenna device into the goTenna mesh network.

goTenna is a Part 15 (unlicensed) device, like a Wi-Fi router or Bluetooth device. It does not transmit on Amateur Radio frequencies. Unless I missed something, there is no connection with ham radio here.

The article also mentions how Elaine Ou sent a Lightning payment over the 40 meter amateur radio band. This may have been a violation of the Part 97 Amateur Radio regulations, as noted by other commenters.
Strange seeing all these new mail threads. I just responded elsewhere but if you are open to self-hosting, you can try Cloudron on your own server (I recommend Digital Ocean). For 5 bucks, you can run an email server with unlimited mailboxes.

Firefox on Windows handles hundreds of tabs also just fine in my experience (assuming you run some kind of ad/script-blocker, otherwise some runaway ad somewhere will probably get you). Only thing I can think of that something might have triggered the multi-process mode to disable - that'd cause performance problems, but can be forced through the settings.
Owning repair shops, I have heard all the reasons people buy bigger phones.

The #1 reason people buy a bigger phone is the better camera. They don't necessarily want a larger phone, but they definitely want that camera to take better pictures of their kids/dogs/vacations/spouse/family.
It's especially important, while seeing that sequence starting around 5:20, both the crazy scary angle and the speed of it, to remember the way people defended Boeing and said the pilots could have dealt with it using arguments along the lines of "if they took a step back and though rationally" or "if they read the full procedure manual they have access to" or "if they connected the dots and realized it was similar to other system X".

Those people, pilots included, were thrown to the grounds.
Of course we have treatments and symptoms for many diseases. But many diseases present the same way. In fact many symptoms are a result of immune response, so naturally they are going to be difficult to differentiate. It's not because the physician doesn't know something. Further, a web based system would limit the amount of information a physician could get and be subject to the reporting of a lay person.

Overtreatment and overdiagnosis is also a thing. How would you like receiving thousands of dollars of testing every time you visited the doc?

There will be bad docs like in any field but its presumptuous to think most don't know what they're doing.

I think adults can stomach that, and from time to time learn something new.
Seems reasonable. I’m surprised this didn’t happen earlier, honestly.

I don’t expect this is going to be pretty, but it will be entertaining to watch.
https://send.firefox.com/ is probably the easiest way to securely send a file that I can think of off the top of my head. You don't need to be a developer, and the file is automatically deleted after a period of time.

With a file stored on the blockchain, I remain continuously and permanently vulnerable to a data breach or any other loss of secrecy control. The moment that link/password combo is compromised, that file is permanently public.

Now, you could argue that the moment a file is briefly public, it can be downloaded and thus is outside of your control anyway, and you'd be correct. But the case I'm more specifically thinking of is trying to send a large, reasonably secret file through email. You can't attack 1GB to mail, so you upload it somewhere and send the email with the url/password.

If you use Firefox Send, that file gets to its recipient, and then shortly thereafter, the link becomes invalid. If I use this service, that link stays valid forever. If my company's email archive is then later exfiltrated by a hacker or disgruntled employee, that secure file in the first case remains secure. In the second case, it's now compromised.

This doesn't invalidate certain uses of your service, but to not mention anywhere on your site that uploaded files will remain available irrevocably and forever is negligent.
Brave doesn't block first party cookies by default IIRC, so that's not hard to imagine.

This is good advice. However, unless it can be rewritten to appeal to a CFO, the important guidance will never reach the people who define the positions and filter candidates.

Executive management needs to understand WHY fundamental/generalist skills are more valuable than specialized skills (or at least are of comparable value except in rare cases). And the "why" that most executives understand is "because it results in more profit long term".

Few executives or hiring managers are technically experienced enough to really know what skills are required to do a certain job. Since they know they don't know, they make effort to be very specific and target the technologies (and frameworks) that the person they are replacing was known to be using. If it's a new position, they have selected a popular stack based on what other people in their industry are using. In the mind of the manager, it makes practical sense to aim for exactly what they believe they need.

Successfully delivering this message to the right audience would require a great and charismatic communicator. Unless this leader is already famous, I don't see the advice having a lasting impact. Heck, even if... I still don't expect lasting impact. Companies have been getting by ok (measured by executive compensation and shareholder value) so far, so putting in the extra effort and risk for possibly a better long term result isn't likely to happen.

There is a bright side to this situation: some very talented people who don't fit the current hiring process may go off and do something on their own (or with others like them), resulting in great new things. In fact, that's usually how innovation happens.
> but really I've internalized the idea that everyone is living a life less than what they hoped their life would be to various extents and that there is also a near infinite combination of ways to achieve this effect such that no one can be dismissed for their misery in any respect without also dismissing the "legitimate" misery of a wide swath of people.

There's a downside to this logic, one of the enabling sort. I consider myself fairly empathetic, but with a very pragmatic tint. I find many, many people take on complaining and a victim/underdog status with an almost hobby-like approach. And I watch how others react, which is exactly as expected: sympathy, attention, allowing those complainers a way out of personal responsibility or true introspection (specifically into their role in managing reactions to external events). It's a never ending cycle. And it hardly ever promotes growth. And almost never results in true happiness (happiness is probably the wrong word...maybe contentedness is better, tho maybe not).

So, the same way you wonder about those people who "dismiss others' concerns," I wonder about those who kowtow to others' words and fail to consider the reality (perceived, of course) behind them. It often feels lazy to me. And short-term thinking. Truly caring about another person sometimes means forsaking short-term "feel goods" for long term growth.
6 years ago, my wife and I went camping. I ended up over the course getting bit by no less than 15 ticks of various genuses.

I got rocky mountain spotted fever, and was treated for that. It's easy to see cause your body gets spots along with pretty nasty illness. During that course, I was also treated for Lyme as well.

The key here: I was bitten by the primary carriers of lyme and spotted fever, and had one of those diseases. I'm not recommending everybody be given lyme antiparasiticals - but use some critical thought here. We can tell when we've upped our risk significantly. And some doc that talks for 5 min sure doesn't really have much vested interest.
And we have already seen glimmers of such behavior with all the emissions scandals around diesel cars... the outcome is not immediate death of passengers, but car companies were/are skirting health regulations to increase profits.
Yup, and in debates they even prop them up as a pair of talking heads, giving them the veneer of equal weight, no matter the merits or general agreement.

It seemed like the author was just refuting the idea that particular groups "have it good", and using the classic "has it best" group as an example. So I think they'd agree that wealth sometimes creates new unique problems that make them unhappy, but that certainly doesn't mean that it counteracts all the positives. I mean, which is worse - you get divorced and then are alone (but have money), or you can't afford to get divorced, so you live in an abusive relationship your whole adult life?

Couples therapy.

There's no real good way to really address this over the internet.

From what I understand, your interpretation of CBT is not correct. I understand that the first step of CBT is to analyze a patient as a whole to decide what behaviors need to be adjusted. This requires recognizing that trauma happened and its effect on the behavior of the person. Is this incorrect?

If people wore an accurate net misery score on their foreheads, I wonder if it would reduce or increase identity based conflict? Would we look at the scores of people at the intersection of disadvantaged groups, see that they were suffering a lot more, and increase our support for them? Or would we see that putatively privileged classes suffer about as much as others, and conclude that people are people, and our sympathy and support for each other shouldn't focus on demographics?

I wonder if an objective misery score is possible, maybe with a portable continuous brain scanning device. I'd think that the data is in there, if only we had the tech to extract it.

The kind of people who work at the FAA jobs where those decision are made know enough about planes to realize that a different engine placement is not without effect.

I didn't get that at all. The premise of the article is that society, for agrarian/industrial revolution reasons, has conditioned us to be "packers" - reactive cogs.

It implores us to learn from the Japanese post WWII practice of Total Quality Management / Kaizen to become imaginative mappers.

The article strongly divides people into one of the two camps, with frequent Dilbert references and disparaging remarks towards packers as "holding their toothbrush with chopsticks". It strongly criticizes packing as worthless ceremony for the sake of social ritual.
