P-value thresholds: forfeit at your peril
A 100 million people in the developing world are probably going to die as a result, that number ticks higher ever year as the impact becomes more severe.

Climates changing means ecosystems are going to change. Food stuffs will disappear, lowering food diversity. Natural ecosystems will disappear lowering natural beauty. Rising sea levels and failing water cycles will cause cities to migrate. You aren't wrong that your children will probably not be very affected in a life and death sort of way, but they will lack the quality of life you do and many other people's children will die.

> the presidency is not the highest security clearance

Presidents usually have the same clearance as the highest clearance.

> the president does not have a right to know everything

This is true, clearances are need-to-know compartmentalization. I was only briefed on stuff required for my job... and would often be told something was outside of scope.
Kudos but it's not even necessary to go that far, basically sitting down and being indoors all day long is the culprit and incorporating more walking activities in our daily lives would be a good start. Pushups and exercises are good on the body but are not addressing root of the problem, they're merely ways to cope with it.

Change Chinese to American, or Ethiopian in that part of your comment. This is selection bias pretty hard.
As someone who's worked on old Macs and has also done lots of 32 -> 64-bit porting, this is the sort of trick that works wonderfully...until it doesn't. And then you've got a nightmare on your hands.

I'm not saying never do that (ok, maybe I am...) But definitely think long and hard about how long your code will be around before you do it.
The median figure doesn't exist. I've looked for it for ten years, it never gets reported anywhere.

The $34,000 figure (2019) is the average for all new consumer passenger vehicles, including SUVs, trucks (eg F-150), luxury, etc.

A typical mass market vehicle will more often be in the $22,000 to $26,000 range. From a Honda Civic around $19k, to high volume trucks around $26k-$32k (all base model prices). The Ford Explorer is one of the only vehicles on the top 20 best selling list where the base model well exceeds $30,000; it starts at $36k, versus the F-150 that starts at $28k.
Pet peeve: I think anyone designing a terminal / code font in 2019 should be including Powerline glyphs.

Most therapists are well-meaning but have no idea what they’re doing. You’re just paying somebody to be your friend for 50 minutes a week. A competent therapist should help you get results in 6-8 sessions, faster if they really know what they’re doing. If you seeing a therapist and you’re not getting results, you’re wasting your money.
Surprised to see so much sentiment against this ruling. Digital software sale and distribution is just supposed to make software management easier and faster. A license is the same regardless of wether it's physical or digital. Why shouldn't this apply to resale of said merchandise?

I rarely say this- but the French really make a ton of sense here.

I see deals all the time for VPN companies selling "lifetime subscriptions." Always have to remember it's talking about the lifetime of the company, not the customers.

I'd love to know what the average length of those ends up being. A year? Three? Looking at you, FastestVPN, KeepSolid VPN, VPNSecure, SaferVPN, Ivacy VPN, VPN Unlimited, VeePN, etc.

It'd be more believable if they'd offer bargains on a multi-year subscription. Selling a lifetime subscription to something with operating costs reeks of "We're going to run out of money, how can we scrape some funds together and keep afloat a little longer? We'll deal with long term consequences later if we haven't gone bankrupt."

The best way I can describe therapy to a tech oriented person is this:

Therapy is rubber-ducking for your brain and thinking patterns.

Sure, you can figure the bugs by yourself but you often get stuck in your ways of thinking which make you blind to them.

The therapist is the equivalent of a senior brain & behavior engineer. Use them, talk to them. Talk about your quirks and your bugs.

You may think you have a perfect solution, but that solution is most likely flawed. You wouldn't expect a software to debug itself. You wouldn't expect a junior to fix huge breaking issues.

If it's on top, it's the currently active tab. I'm not sure on the black border around white icons, I don't use the light theme.

Tab groups are the colored borders, very handy if you use containers. That's one of the killer features to FF, if I'm in a Google, Facebook or Amazon domain I'm isolated. Then when I click an exit link or anything not categorized, I'm in the default container. It's stress-free browsing for me as I got tired of seeing online entities pick up things about my life that it shouldn't have had access to.

I also like Safari (and Edge). I've been using FF since it was in beta (Phoenix) and never left, FF is the only browser popular with the features I think balance out the energy efficiency improvements of native browsers.

Cut-n-paste from a comment yesterday, apologies if you've seen it already, I think it's worth it:

For practical advice on what to do I recommend Toby Hemenway's videos in re: Permaculture

http://tobyhemenway.com/videos/

Especially "How Permaculture Can Save Humanity and the Planet – But Not Civilization" and the sequel "Redesigning Civilization with Permaculture".

Permaculture is a school of applied ecology (the word itself is a portmanteau of PERMAnent agriCULTURE) that has adherents and practitioners world-wide. It's not the only form of regenerative agriculture either.

If Valve prefers not selling games in the EU to implementing a way to sell second hand games, sure.

Remember that the French court is referencing EU law. This basically means that the practice is forbidden across the entire EU based on current jurisdiction.

It's possible for Valve to introduce pay-as-you-go games, but doing so would probably violate the contract under which previously sold games were sold. This means that they still need some way to allow customers to either resell or download and resell the old games regardless of whether they will charge a fee to their users or not.

They might also undo the sale of the old game, assuming the customer agrees to do that, and give back the entire paid amount spent on the platform in exchange for removing the old games. This would be a huge financial loss to the company and would only be possible if all customers agree to getting their money back.

If they do charge a fee, they should expect their consumer base in Europe to shrink significantly.

If Steam wants to appeal, they might be able to put the case in front of an EU judge. This will cost them even more legal fees and is likely to end in the same result. Reselling digital goods is allowed in the EU and Valve (as well as other companies like it) are breaking the law.

In my opinion, just following the law would be a better choice commercially than trying to work around it.

It's definitely some level of stereotyping, but there definitely appears to be a divide with friends (especially from college) who are a few years older than me, and those who are a few years younger. The older group finished college and entered the work force just as the internet was really beginning to churn, when it was interesting but not necessary, when it was still easy to ignore the digital world socially and economically. As a result they seem to be much less plugged in online than my friends who are just a few years younger.

I have mixed feelings about this. It's clearly a wealthy guy being written about by his privileged daughter and he was was pretty reckless in using his unlimited pass. Entitled, maybe. It's hard to have much empathy. He missed 84% of his booked flights. That's a huge amount, and he did the same for his companion pass. He said himself that the pass had paid for itself for how much he flew so it's not exactly like AA is taking advantage of some middle class nobody that spent a significant chunk of their lifetime income on this.

Still, AA was shitty in their response. It was dumb of AA to offer this to begin with. And the author's dad was clearly struggling with depression, substance abuse, and grief.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. I guess I just find the eccentric details of the lives of the wealthy to be tiresome to read about.

edit: I guess this is a dupe and these thoughts were all already expressed in old version
Hmm, much of this can also be said about the UK. High levels of surveillance, strict gun control, generally good public safety, but high air pollution in urban areas.

Except for the drug control part: the police here seem to have pretty much given up on that.
It's interesting to compare this car against the Honda e, which looks like an awesome little car. However, they've priced it about €7,000 more than the id.3 which is probably the reason it's getting comparably little buzz.
> Given there's so much of this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs) right now, I'm not convinced #1 would have a such a negative impact.

Well, it would. Now, you can certainly argue that with an ideal distributional system (or even a far-from-ideal one that is still better than the one the US has, which aren't exactly rare in the developed world), we could have significantly lower total output and still equal or better overall well-being (and far better practical conditions for the lower 60-75% of the income/wealth distribution). And, sure, you'd be right. But we don't have such a system.

> If we broaden are thinking it could have an awesome impact long term.

Returning to a system that encourages positive-feedback economic crashes isn't broadening our thinking, it's just blindly throwing away beneficial progress.

Are there other economic friend that might eliminate the need for the current mitigation for that problem and be far better overall? Probably. Find and implement them first, though.
Many people feel that burdening their friends with their problems isn't easy. This is more complicated than it seems - even if you're ok venting a few times to your friend, could you do it every week for a year? Also, is your friend equipped to deal with difficult emotional questions (what if they've never been depressed?). Professional therapists, while expensive, do fill a role.
I wonder if that's what the founders had in mind when they formed our government.

FWIW, the founders didn't intend for presidents to have nearly as much power as they have today.

Perhaps you can research intelligence operations during the Revolutionary War to glean some of their thoughts on how intelligence and the intelligence community should be set up. Of course, I don't know if our founding fathers were burdened with the task of maybe or maybe not covering up the existence of UFO's. :)
This hardly operates as a justification for human brutality towards animals. Most aspects of human society are less horrible than the natural state of affairs and an argument from nature that would should relax our standards seems highly suspect, both from an intuitive and logical perspective.
At the height of my depression, I didn't feel like ever leaving bed, much less trying to corral a bunch of friends into somewhere they weren't going to be already. Also, my therapist is a $20 co-pay, which is way cheaper than going to the bar. This non-answer just demonstrates your lack of perspective.

I think I didn't explain myself very well, so I apologize; I meant that if you've already exhausted one of the mainline Zelda games (which you probably have if you're looking at the Zelda CD-i games), then I would recommend one of the many many many fan romhacks out there that add new levels and characters. Emulating a CD-i is kind of a pain in the ass...installing romhack patches is too, but at least if you choose one of the more popular romhacks you'll at least get something decent.
You could argue about Microsoft. They started out by offering MSDos as a low cost option and now own close to the entire OS market.

Google is undercutting everyone in the mobile OS market. What once was a varied market died completely because nobody could compete with Android's "it's free if you agree to preload a bunch of Google apps" (iOS isn't really on the market since its Apple exclusive, LG can only reasonably choose Android). Google makes all that lost income back because this creates a monopoly for the Play Store, and massively helps other Google services.

Not really textbook examples, but that's because the textbook example of selling at a loss to kill all competition and then raise prices is illegal in most cases

As somebody who's recently started going to therapy (and a tech worker), I'm skeptical that apps will help -- most of the point is being able to talk to a real person, in a real place, and get honest feedback.

This said, therapy is not as "modern" as people think. Catholic confession has been around for literally millennia, and it basically had that same role: one guy will listen to your deepest thoughts and shames, absolve you from guilt, and discuss ways for you to be a better person. It's just that we now know how to do it without all the religious baggage.
I work in front of a computer, at a standing desk. You can get adjustable desks too and stand for part of the day.

The "not sitting" part is achievable, I believe there are countries (Denmark maybe?) that even mandate that computer desks in offices be adjustable so everyone can choose whether to sit or stand.

That said, I've been working at my standing desk for over a year, I wasn't very fit before, and I don't feel any different now. I don't think that literal "not sitting" has great benefits in itself. Standing is not exercise, you would have to move more to get a real benefit. This study might be measuring a difference in steps taken rather than in "sedentary" behavior vs. standing in place.
This is important. Finding a therapist is like finding a significant other. It needs to be a relationship where you are comfortable with one another. It takes time to find the right person. I’m happy with who I am seeing now, but my eyes are wide open to the idea that it still might not be the correct approach for me.

So... don’t be afraid to fire your therapist if it isn’t working. Trust your gut.
My point is no one is going to cure cancer or solve global issues because of psychedelics.

I have no issues with experiencing things. I just don't like that people try to sell it like it is anything more than that.
Rebuilding the world for the comfort of cars was probably a mistake then.

Noooot gonna lie, I actually like the idea of social credit as a replacement for money in a capitalist society. Seems to me that people who don't like it would have low scores anyway.

China is communist and has committed many atrocities. This has contributed to strong propaganda in the West, driven by the wealthy and those that stand to lose power if we did away with money. People believe they will lose everything they've worked for without money, or that without money, no one would do their jobs.

But if we replaced money with social credit and used positive contributions to society to drive capitalism instead of profit at all costs, we might actually see the world get better. People would contribute because if they didn't they'd lose everything (It works this way now with money as a middle man). I know I'm idealist but I've had this idea since I was very young. People like to laugh at me for it.

Basically, why can't we be like bee or ant colonies? They don't use money, they continue functioning, and we're animals too we shouldn't need money to function.
In certain countries getting Sodium Biflouride (such as from armor etch) is easier and it readily turns into HF.

The alternative for an ethical person is not taking something you shouldn't.
Your spouse is not your therapist. They're not detached. They're biased. They don't have training (unless they're a licensed therapist, in which case they are definitely not your therapist). You can't get useful advice from your spouse when you need help coping with your spouse's issues.
Yes I realized porting a template library to Rust would basically require implementing a whole new compiler (easily more difficult to implement than all of Rust). Like you said, the only workable way is to link to C++ source code (fully translated units/obj files) compiled by clang. Rust would have to learn how to use C++'s name mangling, data alignment, and calling conventions to be able to invoke C++ functions. See my other post in this thread.

Basically it would be a "extern C++". The FFI to C++ would hopefully have as low overhead as "extern C" while making it easier for C++ codebases to gradually adopt Rust.
