I was excited to get lasik when wavefront came out due to one eye having astigmatism. I came out with 20:15 in one eye, 20/20 in the other. Overcorrection is normally avoided, but I jumped when wavefront lasik came out. Totally worth it.
I'm against most restrictions on gun ownership as I assume you are, but I can't agree with your analysis here.

Though I'm currently living somewhere it's not legally possible, I have carried a pistol for self defense in the past. I never had to draw it or fire it at anybody. Nobody is dead or maimed because of my pistol. When carrying a pistol, I was always especially careful to try to de-escalate any potential conflicts, because I do not want to maim or kill anyone.

Its designed purpose, however is 100% to maim or kill other people. I carried it in case I needed to maim or kill someone (or more likely, use the threat of doing so) to prevent harm to myself. It isn't a piece of sporting equipment that's only incidentally deadly, like a target pistol, but a purpose-built defensive weapon.

Claims that the subset of firearms designed primarily to be antipersonnel weapons are something else come across as disingenuous to neutral observers. I hold pro-gun positions because I believe individual armed self-defense is a good thing, not because I think we should consider guns primarily as sporting equipment and only incidentally as weapons.
Because I'm an anarchist and believe that the only two people that can police communication between me and another person, are me and that other person.

Yes, this is what I'm saying. I'm not suggesting that the margins of quality are worth a 5x price point (it's not), but it's not quite the same as some of the voodoo beliefs among audiophiles that a 20k tube amp makes an appreciable difference.

As a disclosure, I own expensive audiophile gear, but, again, for the aesthetics primarily. I would be much happier with audiophiles if they just said they like the aesthetics.
Same situation with trams in several cities in France (Nantes, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Lyon, Lille, even small bits of the periphery of Paris).
Whoever concluded that the margin is low is probably plain clueless about the enterprise IT, or they were looking at developer-friendly tech gigs or colo-providers, etc, not the IBM Oracle EMC Vmware NetApp etc.

When I joined Amazon in 2012, the message is clearly that AWS competes with IBM Oracle EMV Vmware NetApp. I do not have proof if the original plan was that in the early days. But given my impression on Amazon and AWS' executive team, I'd say very likely enterprise IT has always been Amazon's end game.
I'm actually thrilled about this idea, and I hope it spreads to other cities.

The key to effective mass transit is not the type of equipment (train vs. bus) or the surface (rails vs. asphalt). It is the right-of-way, plain and simple. All other things being equal, a transport that has right-of-way, unimpeded by cross traffic, will be faster than a transport that has to deal with stop lights, cross traffic, etc.

That being said, mass transit can be extremely expensive if you take too many pains to construct the right of way off the surface. Digging is expensive and dangerous. Building elevated platforms is also more expensive, and often unsightly.

Now let's compare the means of traction: rails provide only fixed paths. They're relatively time-consuming to fix if they break. And if there's an equipment breakdown, if there aren't redundant paths with effective switching, it can cause a head-of-line blocking problem (comparable to a message queue). Meanwhile, tires are cheap and safe, while steering can easily avoid obstacles and other dangers. And repairing asphalt streets is relatively inexpensive.

So: we have good road technology. We have wide-enough arterial roads, many of which are already redundant. We have good-enough signaling technology now to create a virtual right-of-way (by setting lights to red before the vehicle crosses). Buses are pretty reliable these days, and far cheaper to manufacture than train cars. They can also be outfitted to be quite nice inside.

So, to me, dedicated bus thoroughfares using existing streets are a no-brainer. They win on cost, they win on effectiveness, and they win on time-to-market.

I can totally see 1 out of every 4 streets being used in major cities as dedicated bus thoroughfares as a viable alternative to building super-expensive and relatively unreliable transit alternatives. I've often said I'd love to see it happen in San Francisco. (The 1-in-4 idea being an approximation for most people to walk to their ultimate destination in a reasonable amount of time, but it's obviously adjustable according to block size, geography, etc.)

(Footnote: for those who maintain residences on the impacted streets, there should be various accessibility exceptions.)
Ugh. That streetscape is terrible, just garage door after garage door. Absolutely no character, no charm, no expectation you might run into an interesting art installation, parklet, store, or anything. Bland and pedestrian hostile.
I don't think we disagree?

Note that there has historically been another way, to force the oppressor to be brutal enough that they, or the people sent to do it, will turn on the government. This worked in India against the British and almost worked in Tiananmen, rural army units had to be called in. I don't think it will work currently against China, but it is the only thing HK protestors are willing to do which I respect them for.

Your comment is almost completely orthogonal to dekhn's. The point is that, regardless of progress/stagnation in cancer research, success in mouse models is not a strong indicator of eventual success in humans.
There's a lot of people in this hobby that use Dvorak, and the other obscure layout that I don't even remember the name of. Some even design and sell PCBs/entire kits for them. Most of the keyboards seem to use QMK, an open source, programmable firmware so you can do whatever you want.

There's a lot of debate on those layouts and their usefulness. There's people that swear it saved them from RSI and there's people that say nothing can be proven about the health benefits of any alternative layout. There are a lot of people that switched to an alternative for a few weeks, months, or even a year and then went back to qwerty. I've stuck with qwerty so I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject.
Well,it's not an absolute rule to follow in every situation but they key is adjust your speed to enable preventive action. In your scenario I don't stop, but maybe I slow down instead of sailing through the intersection. I can come to a stop faster if the other guy does do something stupid, so at least I have a chance.

As the article suggests(and from my own experience), making eye contact is no guarantee.

Reading wallet.tether.to/transparency shows they are issuing Tether tokens on more networks than just Bitcoin (Omni layer) now. This includes Ethereum, Tron, Eos, and Liquid (in order of volume). I find this rather interesting. Many blockchains support issuing tokens, but the security of their respective networks is more concerning as the networks get smaller.

I would only hold Tether issued on the BTC or ETH networks, and only for a short period of time in order to purchase the cryptocurrencies I wanted. Simply holding Tether is unwise.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst to detect, often detected in the very last phase when nothing could be done; if I were you I would insist on regular checks given you likely suffer from seborrheic dermatitis given your symptoms.

From Internet: "(Eczematic) dermatitis can be one of the earliest indications of pancreatic cancer."
Differences in headphones are real. Spending 20k on a custom tube amp is not.

I wouldn't really consider nice headphones to be a prime example of audiophile gear, tbh.
Another factual observation is to look at Virtu's recent earnings numbers. They're basically pivoting as hard as they can to get out of speed-based HFT and into execution services, because the profitability of the former is cratering.
So far I just handle it manually. I've dialed in pretty good preferences for incoming content, (for example, using regex-based whitelists and blacklists to weed out material I'm not interested in from channels that aren't already organized into appropriate playlists) and when I browse the videos directory to find something to watch I delete things that have been sitting there a while which I don't expect to get around to.

There would be a lot more work to do if I wanted to "product-ize" the tool, and periodically youtube breaks it by adding a new feature or moving something around. For personal use, though, it's very needs-suiting. The whole approach is also less of a tempting distraction than browsing youtube itself, so it's easier to manage how much time I spend watching videos. If I ever run out of content, I just go for a walk, or read a book!

I'm not saying it's not marginal, but if you spend time around audiophiles, they make lots of claims that aren't just "marginal" but simply not based in reality. I would not spend $2000 on a keyboard, but I believe people who do are doing it largely based on aesthetics, not the kind of imaginary science that audiophiles do.
This has completely obvious anti-trust implications. How many major networks are there - 4. And all of them except fox either have streaming services or will have them soon (nbc's peacock, disney/abc whatever its called, cbs has streaming, and fox will have one I'm sure).

You've got me curious, what makes a particular keycap sell the prices you quote?

I can understand how valuation tied to rarity, but people paying ~$500 for a single cap implies that there's significantly more to it than scarcity. I know that if I try to search for an answer I'll get a bunch of cruft given my lack of knowledge of what question to even ask, so I'm hoping you can provide some background for a n00b :)

Thank you in advance!
That's not universal advice, it depends on the problem domain. Since people are used to yellow being brighter than purple, if you try to maintain the same luminosity you can make things totally messed up. If you're trying to recolor a purple object to yellow, you're unlikely to get a satisfactory result unless you keep the original intensity - keeping a constant luminosity will give a too dark result that doesn't even look yellow.
I'd love to hear more anecdotes about this if you have any.

They should extend the sidewalks so there's only two bus lanes and build some protected bike lanes there. Make this permanent. Drivers will figure out a way. I hope more cities do more of this. Cities can change. Just look at Amsterdam now compared to the seventies. I have always and still do drive around everywhere due to where I live, but this is the only way to change things. Just do it. Hopefully the judges throw out the frivolous lawsuits that prevent changes for the better like this.
The problem is, in a lot of enterprise environments, you can’t rely on a tool that lists itself as non-production ready, and therefore doesn’t / won’t have CVE, etc.

Scroll to the bottom of the wireguard.com site. It’s right on the tin, so to speak.

I’m very excited for wireguard, but have some empathy for large enterprises on this one.
Are there any switches that come close to the feel and sound of buckling spring (aka Model M) switches?

I haven't been able to find anything like that; even the stiffest and clickiest and tactilest cherry key switches I've played with don't come close to the feel.

I'm not sure where Unicomp gets theirs - likely make them in-house would be my guess.

I currently own two original Model M keyboards, and one Unicomp Classic USB (it was given to me as part of my severance package from a former employer because nobody else wanted it after they downsized me - so they stuck it in the box of my things they shipped back to me).

But I can't find keycaps for any of those that are "all black" (which I'd like for my Unicomp - which is a black case design - but greyish keycaps).

So a "standard" switch, with keycaps - but with the same feel, etc as an original buckling spring switch - that's what I'm looking for (under-key blue glow to match my case effects would also be a nice thing - but baby steps).
Yes but from memory that outbound mail is only able to be received by machines configured to receive it with no authenticity checking, i.e. your other servers you set up. The usecase I usually see for this is you set up one server as an MTA that forwards to GMail, etc, and all other servers send mail to that MTA.

But that local MTA you have is not typically something you log in to check your mail, and all of these things are not set up by default.
> she’s not happy to share the measurements with me as she fears I’ll run off and get my glasses made online (I’d never do that!).

This is ridiculous. Why should I not be given the value measurements that have just been made?

That's why I bought my own optician test lens set and now do the measurements myself. I can also test these measurements over a long period of time looking at a screen for example.

I've had people stop short of saying I should be arrested and that I'm doing something illegal.

I don't think I want to know what my potential employees get up to on their own time - I don't want your facebook or instagram or twitter feeds. Maybe linkedin. Github is just a resume anyhow.

And as for publicly posting about it ... why would you criticise an applicant ?

Hell it was beaten into me we barely let the next employer know anything about someone who actually worked for us for years - dates and title as if we are under the geneva convention.

Edit:

I was reconsidering the wisdom of posting this story. It is a story that captures something about the changing relationship we have with our online identities, perhaps generational, perhaps not.

It clearly has garnered some concern - no it's not intellectually gratifying as a story - but it touches on many issues - not least the question of are we slowly trying to find a new netiquette- is there one minimum acceptable cultural level that we will all adhere to, or will there be pools of different acceptance levels never talking to each other?

So no, I think it is a worthwhile story after all :-)
pretty much how all politicians operate when they want something and how they get their message out through what we assume are reputable sources. They on the sounds plausible or I already agree with that type of wording to eventually turn us to what they want us to believe and get behind.

however this article gives that up instantly and even warned us up front "Opinion" is the clear label and that means when reading you must come in with the understanding, all bets are off, what you are about to read may or may not be true and it is up to you to do your due diligence. Sadly most people won't if they agree with any of the premise of an article.
You need to find a way to development mindfulness. There are many apps but when you are talking about being able to manage your feelings, think of this way; those monks who sat down and burned themselves alive as a protest...that's what mindfulness can do.

Sam Harris has an app called Waking Up that, in my opinion, is one of the best courses on breaking down a rather complex skillset. Good luck.

The mindfulness well help you recognize when you are starting to allow an emotion to build, so if you can catch the snowball when it's tiny, it won't become an avalanche and wreck your life.

EDIT - I couldn't be more emphatic about this - other than getting 8 hours of quality sleep, prescribed medication or therapy, this is the next best thing.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Satoru Iwata or Satoshi Kon yet. Both were fairly high-profile losses because of their reputations and how suddenly they left us.

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation.... <- Note that in this one, coal is only counted with carbon capture technology, which increases cost

Coal is among the cheapest conventional source. Note that solar (other than solar thermal) and wind do not include cost of energy storage. Gas combined cycle (basically, a jet engine + a steam turbine heated by the jet exhaust) does beat coal in many of these estimates, but this is new technology that has only been deployed widely by first world countries. Generally, only countries with developed aerospace industries have that infrastructure to built thermally efficient gas turbines. Thermally efficient gas turbines need advanced materials and fabrication techniques like monocrystal casting.

These figures are highly dependent on the kind of infrastructure available to a country. What's cheap for a country like the US with extensive gas turbine manufacturing is not going to be cheap for other countries. There's a reason why so many developing countries use coal: it's a much more low tech solution that does not require complex industry. If your claim about the lower cost of gas was limited in scope to the US and similarly developed countries, I'd agree, but I was talking in global terms. Many countries are sticking to coal because it's cheaper:

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2019/08/22/asian-governmen...

https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-ne...

There are good reasons to move off of coal, regardless. Coal extraction is dirty, and it generates pollutants that are much worse than gas turbines. It'd probably be good policy to facilitate the export of gas turbines to developing countries.
Cyclist rather than motorcyclist here, and that's correct. You read the body language of cars. If you pay attention - full attention with your head up on the situation, and not on your music or phone conversation - you can read what cars don't notice you, which ones do and will yield, and which ones do but will aggressively move first. You adjust your speed and path to accommodate for that as best as you can, case by case.

Holding to your line every time you know you have the right of way is stupid, because some drivers will violate it either intentionally or inadvertently. It should be the [motor]cyclist's right, but realistically it isn't because we're the ones not shielded by two tons of crumple zone. But defensively yielding every time is also stupid, because some drivers will indeed respect your right of way, and that impedes other users on your same right of way.

The right approach is to judge it case by case with your full attention on how best to react, which changes with every situation.

Mouse models are almost the only indicator for future success. So while many fail, most progress comes through research just like this.

Just remember, successful means lower the rates of deaths they don’t generally eliminate it. So, yay study 1357 got the survival rate from 5% to 10% that’s real progress. (Reported as curing cancer). Study 2217 got the survival rate from 10% or 15% wow progress. (Reported as curing cancer). Study 3... I mean grated they did help some specific individual within that study so it’s not meaningless, but come on.
It's a language learning curriculum in our case, so individual progress is tied to the subscription, making it undesirable to share (but possible s'pose)
