Not so much the West Virginia woods (just Charleston), but we had a similar experience with a WV blizzard. At the time we still had a stone fire pit in the back yard to cook in. It was an experience digging that out from under two (or three) feet of snow, but it worked for what we needed.

That's all fine provided you can keep the house warm to begin with. Our house was built in the 30s, and had always used natural gas heat. Big floor model in the central-most part of the house with a couple radiators at the peripheries. Gas only, needs no electric. Physical levers on the thing to turn the heat up or down. Pretty standard. That would've been great for this storm had we not put in central air/heat in the mid-late 80s, which needed electric. Oops.

We ended up evacuating to one of our relative's houses after a couple days, along with a few others in our family. Made for an interesting hike in that much snow. We stayed there until things thawed and life returned back to normal-ish (a week or two later). We had to replace most of the hot water pipes in our house, which had burst before we could bleed them out. Otherwise the only damage was to our ego.

(Incidentally, kerosene heaters were verboten in our family, many of whom were firefighters who had seen one too many families burned up by them.)

That experience shaped how I prepare for disasters. And it's helped me through a couple particularly nasty hurricanes. (Ike, where we were without electric for a couple months, and Harvey, which was a whole different kind of fun.)

Actually, it's like saying that those billions are comprised of a hefty number of people who tried both and the vast majority determined that overall git is an unquestionably superior tool due to a combination of the tool itself and it's ecosystem.

Why in the world would you use xlC, unless you're masochistic enough to target IBM-AIX? PowerPC is a very well supported architecture, supported by common compilers and operating systems.
The IRS can't go after people using legal loopholes, but that has little to do with what's being discussed here.

The enforcement arm, which goes after people who aren't using loopholes, but committing actual tax fraud (and stuff like non-filers), has a ROI of something like $5 for every $1 spent. Cutting its budget is like burning piles of taxpayer dollars in a barrel.
Block the memes at the source. Each time I see it, I block it. If the people on your page are like mine, they are reposting from these meme groups and not manually uploading these pictures.

Not all ex-post theories are BS. For example, I slam my hand in the drawer and theorize, "Slamming hands in drawers hurts; one should not do it." That theory is pretty solid. It doesn't cover all the edge cases, but following it is better than not following it.

There are lots of startup theories that are equally solid, despite being ex-post. I know a startup that didn't pay payroll tax for a couple years, and it ended badly. The resulting advice is pretty obvious.

There are theories about how to hire, how to find customers, how to negotiate deals. These theories might not apply in every single case, but you should definitely start by knowing what worked in the past.

This post picks a couple of unsupported startup theories, but it's sort of like criticizing physics for the 1% of reality it can't explain and ignoring the 99% it can.
And? Why are audits targeted to a type of organization a problem?

If doctors started forming non-profits to do financial engineering to get tax-exempt status, I'd sure as hell hope that the IRS would devote a bit more scrutiny than usual to practitioners of that profession.

Political groups started doing financial engineering to get tax-exempt status. The IRS started auditing them a bit more closely. I don't see the issue.
Except neither of those are in the same performance ballpark as Intel, while Power ISA is.
Success frequently hinges on execution, not changing the fundamentals. The entire premise of the free market is that market competition rewards those who execute the fundamentals the best. If changing fundamentals was a requirement for success most businesses would fail against the incumbent.

After all, there are plenty of competitors to McDs and Wendy's, most of who are doing quite well even though there's a McDs on nearly every corner and all burgers basically follow the same recipe.

It doesn't.

What's being released here is the instruction set architecture, not the microarchitecture for any particular processor design. As RISC ISAs go Power is relatively pragmatic, though not to the extent 32 bit ARM is, so it has relatively good code density compared to SPARC and MIPS. Plus it doesn't have annoying misfeatures like branch delay slots or register windows.

For mobile processors it seems about as good as 64 bit ARM but with a bit less software support in the mobile world, though a good history of software support in general.

“Is this more of a priority than X, what I’m doing now?”

Thats the advice I’d give to Asperger people: ask a follow up question (or several) that clarifies the situation before making any direct response.

There’s several subtler reasons — but the simplest is probably the most appealing: it takes advantage of your ability to explicitly define a situation, and the clarity explicit kinds of thinking bring, but in a way that lets the other person feel in control of that process.

It's more about which features they add/remove etc. So the core will be webkit, and will share those quirks.

Meanwhile we still have stuff like extensions, privacy policies, dev tools, etc. Also they have the ability now to tweak webkit to their needs.

You're right, most "new browsers" are essentially just chromium, I'm hoping since MS is large enough that they'll make it unique in some way - great dev tools and privacy would win me over for example.

I think there might be a misconception that liberalization in China would change anything.

I don't think that would be the case. In fact that would seal China's status as the top superpower.

They would become the largest democracy on Earth (at current population levels). Their attractivity would increase. Re-unification with Taiwan would become much more likely.

I hope this myth goes away soon. It is trivial for any bad actor to force-port a number, even if it is reclaimed a day or two later. If I wanted to get fired, I could yank your GV number (which is, most of the time, really at Bandwidth.com) in a few minutes; the medium-sized voice provider I am at does several of these types of ports a week to help customers trying to leave recalcitrant providers.

My Lyme story is probably one of the less dramatic posted here, but it is telling that I feel like I was relatively taken good care of compared to many others here and elsewhere. My first symptom was the classic erythema migrans (bullseye rash), which was painful on its own, but given that this was during summertime in southern Italy it got unbearable at times. I saw a doctor who told me I had probably been bitten by a spider or lizard, but nothing to worry about. I asked him about Lyme but he insisted there were no ticks in Italy (!)... Eventually I got low fever and terrible upper joint pains, as well as deformed nails and fingers (the second stage of Lyme). This was still not enough for the doc as again, there are no ticks in Italy... After a short time Bell's palsy kicked in (severe facial paralysis and a drastic change in taste in my case) and then I knew that I was 100% dealing with Lyme. So off we go to Italy's main institution for infectious diseases where they tap me for an insane amount of blood to analize, and tell me I will stay at the hospital for maybe a week. Tests came back and Lyme was positive, even though there are no ticks in Italy... I ended up staying at the hospital almost two months with antibiotics pumped intravenously multiple times a day for hours. After recovering I had to go to the hospital for health controls every 2-3 months or so for a around a year.

And I was lucky enough to go through this during a time where antibiotics are still effective at fighting bacterias. One of my biggest fears is entering a post-antibiotic era, where bacterias grow resistant at a faster rate than we are discovering new antibiotics. If we keep misusing them, to erroneously treat ourselves, to feed livestock, pumping the rest products into rivers, this might not be such a far fetched scenario.
> How does Mercurial feel like "it wants to just make a literal log of what I've done"?

Because rebasing was literally an afterthought - a plugin. I don't think I ever push commits without rebasing them a few times. There's also now about six different ways to rewrite your history in Mercurial. It's a mess. Git has one way to do it and it's a normal part of the system.

If a Mercurial user asks me how to tidy up their history my answer is 'er... well there's rebase, mq, histedit, evolve...' that's a lot of options to teach people. In Git I just show them rebase.

It's all subjective isn't it? For me, less concepts, nouns, and plugins adds up to a simpler and so better architecture and UI. Maybe the extra concepts are what floats your boat and that's fine.

Some firmly believe it and even hold protests against Hong Kong. Nationalism is huge in China. But most probably just believe it because they don't care about it and as such don't give it a second thought.

I mean the same happens here too basically. Most people barely care and just go with whatever they overhear in the news. Western media is pretty biased too in this regard. Chinese media only shows protesters throwing rocks at police, we primarily get to see protesters injured by police.

Then we have quite a bunch of people thinking the extradition law was literally saying that Hong Kong would have to surrender any dissident at China's request.

While fears of this law muddying the waters are justified, I think it is purposely misrepresented in Western media. As of now, Hong Kong has no treaty at all with China, Macau and Taiwan. A lot of criminals, from murderers to real estate billionaires that cheated others for millions are walking free in Hong Kong while wanted in China or Taiwan. And even then it's not like China or Taiwan could just request anyone to be surrendered to them. Each case would still have to go through the Hong Kong legal system, meaning the crime must also be considered a crime in Hong Kong. For more details the Wikipedia article on this law is a good starting point, there's also a link to the full version of the law.
The US has massive amounts of deficit spending and we're pretty far from balancing the budget. Why does the amount of lost revenue even matter?
This just goes to show you how path dependent things are. I have been given an equipment budget for home office (not to mention the cost savings of no commute), and I have also had relocation expenses covered for multiple moves, including international.
People pay good money for “sea salt” to use on their food. That’s just the dried residue from this process, assuming clean sea water to begin with.

It’s common to add a bit of salt and Epsom salts to water when brewing - the harder water improves the taste.

You get your minerals from food, not water. I doubt your premise about leaching body minerals by drinking distilled water (or rainwater!).

I believe those have been deprecated in favor of the evolve extension.

Mercurial is my goto for version control. However, in my experience, the information on the ideal tools/extensions is very scattered. The Mercurial book is 10 years old! For example, few mercurial users make use of branches for throwaway work - they use bookmarks. But how is a new user supposed to know that?
I used to regularly block pages and posts that reached my feed that were from entities who weren’t in my immediate network. Pages people liked, news articles and their organizations. All these things that make Facebook money. I stopped reacting to anything that wasn’t made by someone in my network and cleared out my generated “interests” multiple times, but they’d always come back.

After being off it for a couple of years, whenever I look at someone’s feed I’m absolutely blown away by the saturation of things that are at best ads. It seems like 4/5 items on a timeline would be an update from something that wasn’t a directly-added friend. Facebook shoves the impersonal stuff in my face while all I wanted is the personal stuff.

Power is totally mainstream and well established. You have your choice of a bunch of operating systems and compilers. Linux, llvm/clang, GCC, etc. all there for a really long time.

Windows also ran on the PowerPC architecture at various points.

In 1996 I worked briefly a company that had a bunch of "PERP" ("PowerPC Reference Platform") machines lying around given to them by IBM that for application porting to Windows NT PowerPC. For kicks, I put Linux on them, so they'd actually be useful for something.

PowerPC is not strictly identical to Power architecture, but is related and most tools and OSes can be made to work either.

The History of Digital Spam
I've seen places where it's like that joke where the guy goes to hell and has to pick a room. The one room that seems most appealing has a bunch of people standing around in shit drinking beer and talking. Beats the other really unpleasant rooms where people have to stand on their heads on hard surfaces, so he picks it. He's getting settled in when the devil says "ok, break's over, heads down".

What those places have are pictures on their hiring site of people doing fun outdoor stuff or enjoying themselves, and a few stories of what a great culture they have.

But the actual culture is one where it's quite stressful and no one much really does the fun things any more than any other place, because ... "a sense of urgency".

I've heard a lot of good things about Patagonia though, so I think my cynical observations about some other places I've seen above may not be accurate, which makes me curious how things are actually run, day to day. I don't think it's easy to keep that balance, long term.

BTW: sometimes lots of urgency is fine too, but let's all be honest about it.
It depends on how you define “power user”. Many power users don’t understand a lot of the issues surrendering this either.

I’ve known many people who perceive stuttering, slow page loads and game lag as a result of a slow connection. The ISP’s could solve this but I’d imagine it works in their favor. While I’m more than capable of tweaking SQM/Cake (OpenWrt) values and testing (keeping ping times below 40ms), I believe a simple consumer friendly (read: automatic) solution is sorely needed.
I'm against people living off of food stamps also, and if there is a subsidy out there for the taking, then i'm going to take it. I agree that government should not be involved in either of those things, but promoting certain kinds of businesses might be worth the subsidy for some people.

Where AWS succeeds is actually in its ability to save money. Netflix has elastic demands that are negatively correlated with other users. Netflix doesn't have a system to share compute resources with say a hedge fund. Amazon steps in and allows them both to save money by having one server fulfill both their needs instead of two. The problem being solved has nothing to do with expertise. Netflix is as equipped as anyone to manage their own data center. It's not just domain expertise. It's a marketplace.

That said, there may be reasons that WeWork could entice companies to join, but there still need to be reasons. Extrapolating with a hand wave just doesn't cut it.
