Obvious studies crack me up.

It is a shame that PE is continuously being removed from many K12 school curriculums. If you get people into the habit of exercising and being active when they're young it's much easier to maintain that habit into the future.
Yes, when measured at surface levels, but I believe that, unlike CO2, methane is extremely concentrated within a region of the stratosphere (being significantly lighter than CO2 and O2); it’s not hard to imagine strategically placed sequestration “facilities” being able to get to it better. But I’m on my phone and it’s hard to find out what the max ppm at the elevations it is most concentrated at are.

Is this worse at specific companies? I heard great anecdotes from friends at Google. Amazon I haven’t heard many positive things about, although I saw the NYT piece years ago but dont trust them as an outlet.
Most software EULA say they are non-transferable, but that court order overrules it. That restriction has become meaningless. Interesting!
I’m not trying to defend kubernetes complexity or saying it should be used for deployment of all server-side software, but I’d push back on the oft-repeated idea that kubernetes is just solving for scale. It’s a model of deployment that happens to make scaling easy, but the model has many advantages other than scale.
From the article, it's not evolution. It's due to changes in weaning habits from industrialization, poor indoor air circulation, and lack of chewing solid foods as babies such that the jaw doesn't develop properly - when the jaw fails to develop properly, it makes it less easy to sleep with proper tongue posture pressing at the roof of the palate. This tongue pressure is partly responsible for widening the palate during development, and then proper nasal breathing during sleep encourages the airways to develop properly. When mouth-breathing, these nasal passages degenerate (or fail to develop properly) in a positive feedback loop that further reinforces the issues, including poor sleep.

Moral of the story? Wean your children later, don't use pacifiers, feed them solid foods once they're coming off of breast milk, and open the windows in your house. Also, if your child develops picky eating habits, poor attitude, sleep, or other behavioral issues, look into whether anatomical issues might be at the root of it.
That's what I figured from the "Classic." bit, but I didn't want to spoil it for everybody else. :)
No, Chef decided that they wanted to use someone else’s software, without paying that person, to do something that person didn’t want their software to be used for.

So they stopped allowing chef to use their software.

That Chef didn’t have an alternative is entirely on Chef.

Unless of course you are saying that you believe that individuals should be required to provide it to anyone who asks?
Affluenza strikes again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Couch - "G. Dick Miller, a psychologist hired as an expert by the defense, testified in court that the teen was a product of "affluenza" and was unable to link his actions with consequences because of his parents teaching him that wealth buys privilege."
As a non-designer, I am finding it easier and easier to get something professional looking up. Couple this with Material-UI and a solid looking template and you could have a beautiful, custom landing page up a day.

There are obviously UX and other issues that I struggle to excel at, but from a simple, consumer-facing perspective, I see UI getting more and more manageable.
Another way to get huge efficiency gains over using Hadoop is to intelligently memoize results and compute as-you-go. But that requires making some bespoke architecture. However I contend that at any scale where it actually makes sense to use Hadoop (especially in the cloud era), it will be cheaper in the medium-term of 1 year or so to dedicate developer time to make something more efficient than a big daily pipeline of Hadoop jobs
lol, yes let's start with Linux first ;)
So SSDs are getting the "bad block map" that HDs have? Honestly, I thought they already had that...
To this day I still do the sound effect of the skeletons that floating up the screen as my go-to "spooky noise". What a fun game. Burn:Cycle was my #1, followed closely by Escape from Cyber City. The CD-i did have some really fun stuff.

Zelda... nope.
>> John Burns Real Estate Consulting, a firm with offices across the country, found that roughly 30 percent worked at home between one and four days a week; 13 percent worked at home full time.

That's very surprising. My knee jerk reaction was, there's no way that 13% of the working population with degrees is working from home. Anecdotally, I only hear of very few people working from home.

But, then I check the statistics for Remote job posting (from stackoverflow) on https://skilldime.com/app.php?PieChart2=Remote and found that 846 out of 7591 job postings (roughly 11%) were fully Remote. and another 469 (~5%) were onsite+limited remote. And, even more impressive is the fact that those remote jobs don't pay less than the same jobs in most cities.
World's Most Destructive Botnet Returns with Stolen Passwords and Email in Tow
So, you run three different Gmail accounts in chrome, and two different office 365 logins in Firefox. Not only can the firefox process, under you user ID, read/write chrome's cache, local data etc and vice versa, but so can your calculator app, your cpu temperature widget and your solitaire game.

Lxc can improve a bit on this, as can "containers" (lxc or otherwise restricted processes).
Migrating the Sanity.io Codebase from Flow to TypeScript
The company coreos renamed their distro coreos to Container Linux (have fun googling help for that) then later they coreos were bought by redhat.

container linux is forked off my the community as flatcar linux. Redhats container linux is getting rolled into fedora silverblue or something? This paragraph I'm not really sure about.
Similarly, if you are cycling, rowing, running, cross-country skiing, etc., with high intensity, you need to recover. You can recover while sitting at your desk working on your computer. How much recovery can be estimated with TRIMP, and TSS if you have measured your power output.

If you want to have availability guarantees you should arrange a paid contract. Otherwise you are literally demanding someone else do free work for you.
I imagine it's the difference between using the oven in your home and installing insulation. The oven does directly heat your home a bit, and the insulation does not, but the insulation will have a much bigger impact.
How on Earth is pointing out the hypocrisy of censoring paid propaganda by a state actor, but not by a corporate actor whataboutism? This is an incredibly relevant issue.

And we're not even trying to 'deal with the problem of Coca Cola being on Twitter'. The whole raison d'etre for Twitter's existence is dissemination of paid propaganda by corporate actors. It's what keeps the lights on at Twitter! Ads, promoted tweets, and other forms of paid speech.
The situation with Chrome is actually even more misconstrued than that, since ad-blocking performance isn't the only, or even the most important, issue Chromium is dealing with in Manifest v3. Chrome extension security has become one of the biggest time sucks in corpsec/IT security, and that team had been planning for years to address it. But people have a rooting interest in uBO, so none of that gets out.
I think the parent commenter made some great points about social media, but I was going to say something about that line as well.

This seems to be a really common sentiment, and I could not disagree more. At worst, it comes across as severely narcissistic. At best, it's avoidance of reality.
I should have elaborated on my exponential claim. Resistive losses are indeed linear, however in the context of a maximum transmission voltage, efficiency is bounded exponentially.

If you consider a voltage source of 1V, a line of 1ohm, with a load of 1ohm (0.25W), the transmission is 50% efficient. With a load of 0.5ohm (0.33W) the line is 33% efficient. with a load of 0ohm it is 0% efficient.

> Also with very high voltage AC we can actually transmit quite far.

We can't transmit efficiently at a quarter the circumference of the globe, which would be required for a continually directly solar powered grid.
I would recommend "The Space Merchants" by Cyril Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl, and also the sequel, "The Merchants' War" by Frederik Pohl. They predate the cyberpunk era, but you'll find what you're looking for in them.
I've seen those for 30 years, it's not futuristic at all.
Should we expect contributors to projects used by China in their 'reeducation' camps to do similar things, or is this just an isolated demand for morality?

This is a good reminder. I received a phone call one day from a recruiter on the west coast (I'm in Toronto) right around dinner one evening and was caught off guard. I had to ask how they'd found it and they explained.

I'd forgotten where I'd made it public, and did so intentionally, but had forgotten.

There are some solutions for email addresses. I use something like this on my website: http://wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html

GP wasn't falling back to "it's the law", but expressing skepticism that enforcement of immigration controls constitutes one of those unjust laws, which seems to be on firm ground, esp given that every country on earth does it.

I wonder, would it be feasible for them to use wind power to run time insensitive batch jobs in the daytime - crank down the processing power on these jobs when there's less green energy around?
A fair criticism, but let's not forget these facilities and practices were opened during the Obama administration. People like to point to this as a point of criticism against Trump.
I wonder if it would be possible to extend open source software licenses and include morals clauses.
We have tried to do this and we nearly succeeded in Seattle before the mayor antidemocratically shut it down. When you’re up against so much money and power , you’re up against the people who write the laws too.

I think a significant issue with this is how ICE has been enforcing the law. It has been argued that human rights offenses have been happening on a large scale, as committed by ICE.

That is to say: It's difficult to say that ICE is upholding the law by committing alleged crimes against humanity.

Unfortunately, ICE also has large-scale immunity to being investigate for these alleged crimes, leaving the public with no other avenues to uncover the truth besides the court of public opinion- their morals.
Thanks. Adding them to my TBR list now. Frederick Pohl is one of those classic sf authors that I know I should read but have yet to get around to.
It's only immoral when Trump does it. When Obaama does it, or starts it then its okay. Obama always gets a pass from dems/libs.
This is a great tool! I have also recently started using a divergent color palette[1] when designing figures for publication, it's amazing how much nicer it looks than, for example, default color schemes in most graphing software...

Definitely going to bookmark this for future use.

This is pretty telling of the present state of U.S. law... there's no law against this (even today).

The existing laws that protect privacy and what can be done with information companies collect have never been updated post computer revolution... the same generation that was in power before then is still in power, and they've never had any interest in changing that.

The US government started failing a long time ago, and everyone in that generation is either part of the problem or unwilling to admit it IS a problem.
I was talking about the two levers the Fed has to guide the economy at work - Printing Money and Lowering interest rates (as described by Ray Dalio https://youtu.be/PHe0bXAIuk0). My coworker starry eyed, looked at me and said, "What about Quantitative Easing?". I responded that is printing money. I think the issue is, these concepts are given difficult sounding names, so people do not question their ethics. I'm not saying they are not needed - in a credit based economy it seems they are absolutely necessary, but perhaps they could be implemented in a way that doesn't so favor the rich.
Is it possible the anxiety and self-loathing would have existed in another form if not for social media, and social media is getting scapegoated for other issues that you've got, which are now hiding dormant because rather than deal with them you externalized them onto a technology?
Some quick backstory as to why I just posted this: I originally submitted it almost three months ago [0]; it was quickly flagged down as a "conspiracy theory". I don't necessarily agree with everything here, but don't think it's that. I'm posting again in light of rms' recent expulsion from almost everything, because I think the increasing "corporatization" of OSS stuff will lead to him eventually being kicked out. I'm certainly not sure of any of this, but I think recent events make this article particularly pertinent.

You might be surprised. When the shit really hits the fan, people run back to USD holdings first and foremost and the dollar spikes.
according to the link the Wing drone doesn't land. It hovers and lowers the package by winch.
Basic income also means citizens can't be held as economic hostages by obsolete "too big to fail" industry players who've achieved significant regulatory capture. The labor market can't efficiently shift supply around when workers are trapped in crushing poverty and stressed to the breaking point.
Intense physical activity helps too, given that our bodies are designed for that.
> Another mashes up Super Metroid

You just reminded me that there's supposed to be a good entirely fan-made Metroid SNES rom out there that I wanted to look at a few years ago but entirely forgot about. It's AM2R[1] if I'm remembering correctly. Thanks for that!

Another vote for Firefox Containers here. I do use Safari for my personal stuff, but Firefox Containers is _extremely_ useful when you work with multiple clients and have to switch between contexts for the same site (in my case the Azure portal and various e-mail accounts).

One container per customer, and it's all neat and tidy.
Arguably he did people a service by reminding relying parties of this vulnerability. Both that upstreams might pull their repos, and that upstreams might incompetently run their distribution infrastructure (all the npm issues...)

I don't understand how the marketing goals of firearms manufacturers should influence firearms policy.
But you are not making another copy with physical goods. You are giving/selling it to someone else. Those things aren't analogical (for the same reason making a copy isn't "stealing" it's at most copyright violation). There is a reason for this distinction. Making physical goods costs money, making digital copies is free (basically). If we accept the premise that copyright holder can exercise control over it there is no reason why you magically should be able to make exactly one copy for someone else once you stop using yours.

The author also doesn't control your life, quite the contrary the court wants to control the life of the author by forcing them to implement ways to move the game to another person/computer/account.

I think selling a computer where the game is installed to someone else is more akin to selling a book or a car or whatever and I doubt anyone would oppose that.
That's amazing, but what sort of computation does it do while heating? Are you supposed to queue up your rendering until it's cold outside, or does it mine bitcoins?
Why young climate activists have captured the world’s attention
"Therefore, there is still a stigma associated with those who do choose to go to therapy."

Is there really? I haven't really seen it, at least among people who I hang out with (which admittedly, include a good number of therapists. Also a good number of knowledge workers who have a therapist.)

I suspect this might be class-based. The therapist market bifurcates into high-functioning professionals who can afford $400/session without insurance and just need someone to talk some feelings out, and people who really need therapy and are often referred by the school or court system. Therapists will usually take on a number of the former to pay the bills, and then a few of the latter to feel like they're doing good in the world. Who doesn't get therapy? What's left of the middle class, who are the people who usually need it the most.

If you're a member of the missing middle class, who do you see who goes to therapy? Usually the latter group, the folks who are visibly mentally ill and have trouble functioning normally. You probably don't know a whole lot of corporate executives in general, and if you do, they're often fairly good at keeping quiet that they have a therapist. So you get a very distorted picture of reality.

And knowing these class-based distortions, it's only when the highly-paid professionals, managers, and executives get together that they will casually remark, "Oh, my therapist said..." Occasionally you'll catch glimpses of this in media meant for this social class though, eg. TED talks or songs whose audience is primarily this class.
It used to be easy by comparing reflection on eyes - one was completely different than the other. Or teeth line. I can see they've improved it a lot. I can't tell the difference now.
I'm comparing the use of pardons. I don't intend to compare the men themselves.

The fact of the matter is: Arpaio demonstrates that some pardons can be "unfair". I don't think you can expect to get a system of "fairness" when pardons are in play. In contrast, I still personally have great confidence in the jury system.
I still by all my console games on physical disc, so I can sell/trade them.

Steam raised PC Gaming back up but it also created a world where we don't buy games any more, but licenses to games. I still try to buy off Humble Bundle or GoG if the same game is available in their store DRM free, even if it cost more.

I can see as it being better for artists, but it's also this weird situation where the license to the game is attached to the person. Physical media can be sold later, restored or copied if it's in danger of not being readable ..and old content is still preserved. Classic games from this era won't really be preserved the same way if any of these licenses servers from Steam/Origin/BattleNet ever go under one day.
No. Wind production in the UK over the last 12 months has varied from 12,456MW (on Jan 7th at 21:00) to 142MW (May 1st 08:50)

Most of that is from the sea.
> * FB can be a great way of sharing, say, photos of kids or activities or events with people who are... maybe a bit more peripheral than friends I see every day, but who I still find value in keeping in touch with.

What got me off Facebook (>3y ago, not a passing whim) was the realisation that I found no value in keeping in touch with people I was only 'in touch with' via Facebook.

> * YIMBY activism. Facebook especially is a great, low-friction way to get new people involved.

Okay, that probably helped too. ;)
> The majority of people already own houses and have mortgages.

The majority of boomers maybe own houses. Exclude them and your claim isn’t even close to true.

Regardless, this entire situation is a huge moral hazard. I think the majority of us wouldn’t approve of the fed deciding winners and losers.
I'm wondering where you got the idea that this developer dislikes ICE because it enforces immigration law. That, on its face, makes little sense. It is quite clear that OP dislikes ICE because of the tactics it uses to enforce immigration law, not the enforcement of it outright.

I believe this discussion would go a lot more smoothly without pedantic, black and white arguments being thrown around with the thought that your argument is the correct one, and just needs to be crammed a little harder into everyone else before they get it.

EDIT: If you don't like what I have to say, rebut it, don't downvote it. Silencing me does nothing but make you feel good.
> Look, I don't exactly have any love towards ICE, but you can't delete code that you were paid for.

You absolutely can. This is the point of a contract.
Just like basically this biggest nit ever, but Snowden revelations didn't reveal anything and nothing was described in them. Snowden exfiltrated a bunch of powerpoints that neither he nor you nor I can understand out of context. The most supportable conclusion you can really glean from Snowden's slide decks is the US intelligence agencies were able to intercept traffic of undersea cables.
Stallman made those questionable, problematic statements on his blog a decade ago.

He was cancelled because of a email thread related to Epstein that media outlets lied about. If the blog statements were enough to cancel him, why now and not a few weeks ago or a year ago?

> I am informed that "History is written by the victor" is bad historical thinking, one that people should not use in their arguments

Who informed you of this? The person who wrote the histories of given events absolutely matters. Time and again textbooks have had to be recalled and reprinted because of crazy amounts of slighted disinformation that amounted to little more than sexism or racism on the part of the original authors.
> Even loans against production are dangerous and eventually lead to debt peonage and wealth concentration, as we have seen time and time again, from roman times onward.
> The problem is usury, and there is a long, historical argument about it that is completely ignored in the west. This is because history is written by the victors, and the usurers won. We are all usurers (or aspiring usurers) now.

You can say 'it was always like this' as much as you want, that doesn't make it true.

Not a single society that didn't have 'usury' ever developed a middle class, human rights, a welfare state and most other things in modernity. The reason the 'usurers' have won is because it is a far superior system and no society that has experiance it actually goes back to the old system.

People like to complain and complain, but when somebody actually tries to remove these insitutions from modern society its a total failure. As we have seen with different communist and other revolutions.

In fact broad access to credit was a major driver for the industrial revolution and for the modern world. It didn't lead to wealth concentration but rather to a broad wealth explosion.
And conveniently enough allows them to make tons of money!
It's a good start. But there are other problematic institutions in the US.

No developer should accept theirs code being used by the racist Police or by the Army.

And if you truly want to change things, you should strive towards supporting the dismantling of American capitalism and ending its global hegemony, so no code use by banks or finance companies either.
