I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago to replace my old wired aluminum Apple keyboard that got bent after traveling a couple of times in my suitcase. After a couple of hours of typing, when looking at the keyboard, I found that something was off. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D6wuM-eXkAA_UGK.jpg:large

The Keyboard Company(https://www.keyboardco.com), offered great support and immediately send the missing key with instructions on how to replace the faulty one.

My overall impression of this keyboard after a few weeks of typing. Coming from an Apple wired keyboard, it takes a while to get used to the firmness of the keypress that is needed to get a keystroke out of it. In that respect, I miss my old wired Apple keyboard. The colors are a nice addition, however, what did it for me is the built-in USB hub, which makes it so I only need one USB connection to have a stable keyboard and mice connected to my Mac.

I disagree, death for example is inevitable but nonetheless we are commanded to protect life. The inevitable does not exempt a person from doing their best, everyone will be held to account for their actions.
Unfortunately the pressure in HPP machines is dispersed over a large vessel (foot scale diameter cylinders), while diamond anvil cells and the like focus that pressure at the mm/sub-mm scale.

Thank you for articulating that better than me. This is exactly what I'm trying to say. Now the question is why would anyone in the foundation take a drastic action on the bases of a flimsy complaint? My life experience has taught me that these kinds of things are usually done by men in power out of love for a woman. Or by women who know they will face zero consequences in case this blows over. I'm ready to eat my hat, if we ever get the whole picture and we find out that a feminist was not involved (either the complainant or the foundation member who took action).
I have always thought that, out of all the hype and cambrian explosion that was Web 2.0, Youtube was the only site that clearly improved the world. There is an astounding amount of great content on Youtube. Turns out that giving normal people a platform, and a way of sharing, can have results which are utterly amazing.

I'm not happy that Google basically has a monopoly on this, but honestly, I consider youtube to be a force for good. And even more honestly - to some extent Youtube, and the fantastic content creators I've discovered on it, has gone a long way towards restoring my faith in humanity. Man there are some smart, wise, knowledgable people on this silly little blue speck we call home. And man am I glad they feel the need to share and educate the rest of us.
What is the basis for your claim? EROEI? I’m curious what those were, so I found these:

Solar EROEI: 9-35

Wind EROEI: 20-50

Nuclear EROEI: 59-70

Which certainly looks great for nuclear (I do actually like nuclear in general), but is it actually important to be the best when it’s high enough to be economic?
Do we need to learn from people that fall into good luck because of family money?
We are talking about reducing 2/3rd of your electricity consumption.

The only 2 classes of devices that could save that much is incandescent -> led light and resistive heating -> heat pump.

And those efficiencies aren't enough to offset all the other devices where efficiency improvements are in the single digit percent.

So you're still having to combine that with something else, which seems to be moving away from the relatively painless the great(?) grandparent described it as.
It's much easier to waste time nowadays, I agree (my son is a perfect example; left to his own devices he'd do pretty much what you said). My father got rid of our TV when I was 10 years old and haven't bought one since. Internet also wasn't a thing back then.
FWIW, "release the complaint" could simply mean releasing the details privately to the arbcom, which regularly handles privileged private data under non-disclosure.

I've seen no explanation in the article or in any of the discussion which would justify keeping the arbcom in the dark here. It's quite surprising, but not the first recent incident of WMF doing this.

The American food supply chain has a luxuriously high waste rate. It’s an issue that a few companies are trying to tackle, eg Imperfect Produce.

Wasted food in the home though is mostly a cultural/price issue, as well as a misalignment issue between seller and consumer. Grocery stores try and increase AOV by selling you a 3lb bundle of carrots because they believe it to be profit maximizing to do so, at the cost of deadweight loss borne by the customer if they don’t eat all that they buy.

Solar is listed at 4x more and wind seems to be on par with nuclear. Both solar and wind are far better than the hydrocarbon alternatives.

I used to be very pro nuclear but I think nuclear has a lot of hidden costs - very long ramp up time, long and expensive cleanups.
Well that's the coolest thing I've seen all day, then
I’m fortunate enough to live in Iceland so both my kids got a place in a state kindergarten (leikskoli) from 18 months. Having seen the care and attention they pay to the development of kids I honestly don’t know why this isn’t more common outside of Nordic countries. Particularly with modern societal expectations on parents and the future of society being entirely dependent on the effort it put into its future citizens.

I've found that the best way to reduce wasted food at home is by establishing and maintaining your food budget (groceries _and_ eating out), and gradually reducing it until you don't have any wasted food.

People (myself included) get carried away buying stuff, even groceries. Without planning you will quite easily blow past your budget and then stuff will sit in your fridge and rot.

Or another scenario: you buy a bunch of groceries and then eat fast food all week and throw most of your groceries away. Gotta use what you bought or it will go bad.

It's very easy for a family of 3 in the US to spend $2K/mo on food and throw most of the groceries away. If you drive that down to $1K/mo, you can eat pretty well, and there won't be much wastage.
> White privilege simply means that white people benefit, however implicitly , from a society which was founded on white supremacist ideals.

You know what it really is. It is called in Christianity "Original Sin".

There is no such thing as a society founded on White Supremacist Ideals. The only one that did exist was Nazi German and we damn well made sure that the German's would never move back to that.

We just happen to be living at a time after the largest Empire in History was run by a country that happened to be white. Would you be talking about Mongol privilege if we living in the time where the Mongol empire was at its height?

It is a total nonsense concept that is used by racists to guilt trip white people.
Honestly, that sucks
How about not using 'pick a random number from 1-10' as the source of entropy? For example, have everyone (from a group of some size) select a natural language sentence of 5 words or more, sum the ASCII values of the upcased alphabetical characters of everyone's sentences, and take the last digit (then add one).
It’s amazing how effectively they were followed around by so many people.

At the start of the video, you might think “well, the USA has concentration camps so who are they to point a finger” but by the end you realize how huge a scale and intentional this program is in China.

If this is all accurate, people should definitely watch this video to completion.
I blieve it's not about visitors "not caring", but editors. A stub may be "Firstname Lastname is a person on Pitcairn Island" and nothing else. The article just sits there, doesn't provide value to anyone looking for info on that person and nobody appears to care enough to grow it into an informational article.
I think it's a problem of management not knowing what to do with developers once you have a solid stable product.

Without proper direction people just keep adding features that are only used by a tiny subset of the userbase, and you end up with a bloated application that's slow to use because it's full of functionality that nobody uses.

And of course, you still need to pay those developers, so you shift the burden onto your userbase through ads or fees, making your application less appealing.

WinZip was a good example of this.

They're both true, though. Expectations of decent parenting are lower: just taking both my children to the park gets 'wow, that must be a handful' comments that my wife doesn't get. At the same time, I'm not assumed to be a competent caregiver, and am excluded from some of the social/mutual support side of parenting as it's in practice mums only.

GP is correct; these are in many ways two sides of the same sexist coin.
I never used LyX so I cannot compare. The point I wanted to make is that in TeXmacs cursor movements are actually movements inside the document tree and there is a notion of current focus which is the innermost environment you are in. Many operations involve the current focus (e.g. you can switch from a Theorem to a Lemma or change round to square brackets with one keystroke). Then another peculiarity of TeXmacs is that what is on the screen is exactly what will be on the PDF, because the same typesetter is used for screen and PDF output.
Clearly it would make sense to cease all solar power subsidies in developed word, allow private sectory to buy whatever cheapest energy there is, and let India build their cheap solar power.
The title should have been "I've picked getting unjustfully condemned people out of prison, over my kids". It would make 2/3 of the comments irrelevant.

My friend works for Engie/GdF. They are importing coconut shells from Sumatra to France in order to fulfill biomass requirements in their power plants. This is nothing near to clean. It is just another absurd due to eco-regulations.

>If you're intellectually driven then looking after two young children isn't fascinating.

I've never understood this viewpoint - children are simply the most fascinating things!

They're born with next to no inborn knowledge and yet have the potential to learn about quantum mechanics. Someone with the same potential would only have learned about fire some hundred thousands of years ago.

In the early days you get to see a baby slowly mentally program the things we take so for granted we forget that you actually have to learn them - how to walk, how to speak, language.

YMMV but for me to see the world indirectly through the eyes of children is like rediscovering everything there is to the world we live in!
This is laudable as a way to draw attention to the decentralized media. This is not the typical "social media is bad for you get away". Of course i very much doubt it will work. The best way to make decentralized systems work, is to kick a lot of smart people outside corporate media. Smart people will improve the decentralized platforms and influence others to use them. It will be sort of like what happened with the birth of Bitcoin.

I think we should be asking for swift regulation and more censorship on corporate media. It is the kind of thing that really puts off smart people, and will push those early adopters to use the decentranet.

Is there a reddit-like decentralized alternative?

I want to add:

BTW I don't think that the constraints you are talking about just have to be constraints - I like to think of them as a measure to standardize software. Also the keybindings play a big role which is another feature of many unix tools I love ('e' for edit and 'q' for quit is just crystal-clear no matter where you come from).
Sorry, but from my experience, this is not true. I did have several machines Running w95 and I did try to run OS/2 on them. It would boot but it would not run fast enough to work with it. W95, on the same hardware, worked quite well and responsive.
A really stupid decision.
I believe it to also be caused by the huge amount of subsidies American farmers receive from the US government, pretty much incentivizing them to grow and sell as much food as they possibly can.
> In the United States, households on average spend 19% of their gross adjusted disposable income on keeping a roof over their heads, below the OECD average of 20%.

For Germany it’s 20%, in line with the OECD average (and the average number of rooms per person is 1.8, compared to 2.4 for the US).

http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/topics/housing/

So adjusting for average income housing costs about the same, and adjusting for average income US doctors make more than twice as much as German doctors. How many years of income do you think a doctor needs to buy a median house in the US and Germany? If you think the number is lower in Germany I’d like to see your numbers.
Last time I tested it, boiling a kettle takes less than 2 minutes, it draws 2 kW, so 8 cups per day is 22 watts average.

An electric shower is about 20 kW, so at 30 minutes per day that’s an average of 417 W. I’m not sure about electric ovens, but I think it’s a similar range.

Heating/cooling and transport are the biggest users. The low-hanging fruit is mostly a mixture of “eaten” and “not tasty” if you’ll excuse extending the metaphor.
Ah the typical microkernel FUD.

UNIX clones, Linux and BSD variants are the surviving monolithic kernels.

On embedded space, most high integrity OSes are microkernel based, Apple and Microsoft OSes are hybrid variants, and as shown at this year's WWDC in a couple of years Apple OSes will only allow for user space drivers.

Even Android now uses a mixed model with userspace drivers (Treble compliant ones) and the standard Linux drivers (Treble legacy mode drivers).

You might want to turn your skimming level down a bit.

Wikipedia's community has a long established set of processes for self-governance, but they were bypassed in this case.

The administration in question was banned by staff of the Wikimedia foundation, the 501c3 non-profit created by the community for the purpose of the operation of the infrastructure of Wikipedia, and have done so without providing a clear justification both for the circumvention of the project's governance and the specific. This is a highly unusual though not completely unprecedented event.

99% of the people who are up in arms about this would have had no issue had the arbcom banned the user in question, the constitutional issue is what has people so concerned.

Where are you getting your definition for social media?

Wikipedia defines social media as [1]:

Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies
that facilitate the creation and sharing of information,
ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via
virtual communities and networks.

I don't know if there's an "official" agreed upon definition somewhere, but I do know this: The definition of what social media is and what it will become is not yet known -- it will continue to evolve as the Internet evolves and as our understanding evolves closer to true -- but at its core, I would say social media is technology that enables bidirectional public communication among people whereas mass media [2] enables unidirectional public communication -- one to many broadcasts to people -- with no direct feedback loop.

The Internet provided the foundational infrastructure and was the prerequisite layer that made social media interaction possible. What we do with social media -- how we use it, build upon it, and optimize for it -- is yet to be determined.

For example, who would have envisioned the mobile phone as we use it today when the telephone was invented. Phones aren't just used for phone calls anymore. The iPhone changed that, but the iPhone couldn't exist in its present form until the foundation for the Internet infrastructure was laid. Today our vision of the Internet is not what it was when it was invented. It continues to evolve, as does its uses and definition. Social media will be like that too -- it's part of the next layer to build upon, and we're still learning what that is -- its definition is still being formed, and its optimal form is still to come.

Huh, a flagged comment, that's a first, sorry.

I was really responding to what I saw as the GP breaking other guidelines by not responding to the article, so I quoted the only relevant part of their comment and the appropriate part of the article.

I suppose I should have flagged their comment instead if I thought it was bordering on off-topic?

Carrots seem like a poor example, they are literally meant to store over winter.

Lettuce? Id struggle to eat 3lb of lettuce before it went off.
I think part of the problem is, at least in my experience, buying stuff you tell yourself that you’ll eat but rarely do.

If I were to be more honest with myself in a store, I’d cut down on food waste. My problem is I see certain things, and think to myself, oh I’ll eat those. But in reality, only ideally I’d eat those. What ends up happening is I get hungry and look into the fridge for something to eat, only to see that exact thing staring me right in the face before I say, damn nothing to eat.

As well, going to the store more often. Buying only a couple or three days worth of groceries makes it easy to lower food waste. When I try to buy over a weeks worth of groceries I find myself having to throw away things more often.
I personally don't and I never understood the argument that underpinned this idea of connectvitiy that the article hints at.

Hyper-connectivity between each and everyone to me never made sense, because it's a fundamental recipe for conflict. The notion that everyone gets along and is equal and that we just need to let everyone talk to each other because rational people always change their mind and come to conensus is a pie in the sky fantasy. People don't work like this. Some people should just not be in the same room because they'll hit each other on the head after five minutes of interaction.

That the constantly over-stimulated internet where people who fundamentally don't get along get to talk to each other leads to false realities, noise, and argument for argument sake always seemed extremely obvious to me.
I think I lost most hope a while after the Snowden leaks, when I realised that nothing substantial was really being changed or put into place to fix these things aside from what I observed to be token gestures.

I remember growing up on the internet ~1995-2010 and feeling truly free the whole time I was connected. Now I just feel trapped and monitored in a way that I don't know how to handle anymore.

Without sounding to crazy, basically anything internet connected I use these days appears to be designed to circumvent my privacy (to sell me shit) or to curtail my freedoms (government surveillance) and getting around those things is a game of cat-and-mouse and constantly requires my attention.
