> I think part of the reason for an apparent increase rise in cancer rates is that we have eliminated many other causes of death already

Where did you read "an apparrent increase rise in cancer rates" ? in this article or in one of the articles it references? which one?

I am not a biochemist, but I would assume academics are referring to incidence rates, not causes of deaths... If you did actually witness such a confusion in the papers, it's important to point it out, but if you didn't it would be equivalent to a physicist suspecting a colleague of confusing mu (the reduced mass of a binary system) with mu (a muon)... rather incredulous if you ask me...

Every academic discipline expects its disciples to be at least proficient in disambiguating words from context, so when one refers to a "cancer rate" in the context of causation, that it would refer to "incidence rates" i.e. the transition probability per surviving individual per unit time. This is independent of deaths by other causes.
Wearables started off looking like toys, but are poised to drastically change how we think about health. The whole point of this argument is that the next big thing will come out of left field, not that you should build toys to try to solve a major problem.

I love the postmarketOS initiative but right now it's very much a bare-bones project. The installation process is troublesome, hardware support is very limited and desktop environments work partially if at all. Phosh development is looking good but it's certainly not finished.

As of now, I would certainly not advertise it as a Dex replacement.

>But the difficulty in doing so is ridiculous in comparison

Buying a used base layer on eBay is not ridiculously difficult as compared to buying a new one from other online retailers. Amazon is certainly easier but compared to going to an online store like REI, I'd say it is comparable.

Are you saying that the brick and mortar stores? REI I believe has used gear in their brick and mortar store, the selection is probably going to be all over the place but I'm not sure how a single store would guarantee a used stock. I think their used inventory is listed online. There's also good will and other consignment shops and things like that.

I'm wondering if what you really want is better marketing for used services to increase awareness. That seems pretty legit. Maybe there's an opportunity there to really blast out a marketing/propaganda campaign to get this concept burned into consumer's minds?

One day I walked into our company’s swag closet and grabbed 10 identical company shirts that are kinda subtle about the branding and just look like some band t-shirt. I’m a couple years into wearing only these to work (plus two pairs of jeans and two pairs of shorts) and it is indeed one less thing to think about. Occasionally people notice and it’s kind of a fun conversation, and that’s about the only consequence of it.

The real test, I think, is something that has genuinely useful applications to anyone with a little bit of vision.

Big entrenched players are unable to see the next big thing, because they see the world through the glasses of their successful business. Microsoft for example almost missed the internet, and suddenly realized it in 1995. I believe Bill Gates was quoted as saying it was just a fad. The funny thing is that more than a decade earlier (about 1980) I heard the same thing about "personal computers" or "microcomputers". Just a fad. A toy. Never will compete with IBM's "real" computers, etc.

Similarly, these new fangled "automobile" thingies will never become popular. They are noisy. Smelly. Unreliable. Difficult to start. You can even break your arm if it kicks back while you are cranking it. And worst of all (gasp!) they frighten the horses! That's why these automobile thingies are just rich kid's toys. A fad.

I guess they couldn't see that all of those imperfections I listed could be fixed.

Back in the 1990s I saw this interesting tv program. Sorry, can't remember. It was about personal computers. The person being interviewed said the entrenched players NEVER see the next big thing coming. So they hire someone smart who will see it coming, and then tell them when its coming. And then when they are told this is the NEXT BIG THING! They never believe it.

Speaking of Microsoft almost missing the internet, they did entirely miss the new generation of smartphones starting with the iPhone. Ballmer laughed at the iPhone. They woke up to the new reality after it was too late. Sorry iPhone and Android already dominated. Smart phones sold in unit volumes that dwarfed PC unit volumes. Win Phone 7, followed by an incompatible Win Phone 8 didn't stand a chance -- even with nice Nokia hardware.

People generally have an intuitive understanding of the security properties of doors. On the other hand, my mid-70s in-laws still have not internalized the idea that the threat model for bad / reused passwords is not "some guy sitting at a computer randomly trying passwords". A better example for the door analogy would be that you leave it unlocked so you can grab something out of the car in your driveway, and by the time you get back someone from Russia has taken all your stuff.
A nitpick, in your FAQ's it should be "in the 1960's" not "the 1960th" if I'm reading the year correctly.
Android's driver APIs and userland implementation are nonstandard. They have their own libc (bionic) and their own linker. Vendors supply binary blobs for many drivers (RIL, graphics, etc.).

These drivers need a series of compatibility shims to work with "normal Linux," on both sides of the driver API.

The Kernel <-> Driver interface needs to be backported to Android's non-mainline HAL, usually using Halium. The driver <-> userspace API needs to be implemented, for example by xf86-video-hwcomposer or libhybris-libwayland-egl. Finally, the blob needs a libc shim to work with normal libc (libhybris itself).

Alpine has to use OpenRC rather than systemd because it's designed to run in containers. Using cgroups or lxc requires running your container with elevated privileges. This doesn't only affect systemd, it also makes it impossible for me to run Nix builds in unprivileged containers with isolation enabled, since isolation requires cgroups.
Personal computing and the Internet were a much bigger deal than cryptocurrency. Each completely dominated the overall cultural dialogue for years at least in the U.S.

If you ever watch "The Graduate" and the guy gives the college grad advice to go into "plastics" because it's the next big thing, that's computers in the 80's and the Internet in the 90's.

People were quick to latch on to the web because it facilitated things they really wanted to do like keep in touch with friends and buy things easily. Cryptocurrency doesn't do that for most of the population. PC's were a hobbyist thing at home and more akin to cryptocurrency, but at the same time they were completely taking over how business operated.

The web had a similar impact on small businesses too. Having a web presence exposed small companies to a much larger customer base than they could have ever hoped for before.

Cryptocurrency doesn't really solve real-world problems like this. Most people are perfectly fine using traditional currency and wouldn't see any benefit to replacing that with Bitcoin, et al.

Edit: I think the most recent change that you might have been around for was the introduction of the iPhone and the smart phones that followed. Huge paradigm shift for the general population.

The battles happened where they happened; nobody was specifically targeting small towns, but nobody took much care to avoid them either. There aren't any really remote places in Donbass, it's not that big of a territory - and most people live in the cities or large towns.

A lot of elderly people did stay. Ukraine does pay the pensions (which they absolutely rely on), but one needs to travel outside of DNR-controlled areas to get them. DNR also pays pensions, and some people, apparently, get two pensions; both DNR and the Ukrainian government are not happy with that, and so that won't last long. Russia is being more active now with giving the people there Russian citizenship, but one would need to go to Russia to get the pension.

All in all, it's a complicated mess, and the weakest get the worst of it; those people who live alone in villages are screwed.

Nobody gains anything by harming the elderly, but they are a liability that nobody really wants to take on. For Ukraine, it's dumping money into territory occupied by the enemy. It's a burden for Russia, which their citizens aren't too happy about either. DNR has little need for the elderly, but has to pay up if they are playing the "we are an independent state" game.

There is a mounting pressure to resolve this situation, but the whole point of this mess was to make it complicated (Russia didn't play a Crimea scenario in Donbass so that it remains a long-term unresolved slow conflict, like Transnistria in Moldova and Abkhazia in Geogia).

Yes, I also try to be a conscious shopper and try to be able to maximise my wardrobe for multiple outfits. This is out of necessity too: I travel a lot, so having many outfits from a few items of clothes means a smaller suitcase. I used to have a rule that I would buy something only from a store where there was no more than 2 of but as the years pass, I admit that it's easy to slip into Zara when I'm in an airport with time to kill and suddenly "need" a new skirt or something. The ease of access is quite scary. I'm glad I didn't grow up with fashion available like this.
I've seen such limits imposed on private property, but as far as I know there aren't any laws (specifically for cigarette smoke) that extreme.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a smoker and never have been. I like these laws. I'm just being a bit pedantic. There has been a general trend of restricting smoking and I think that trend has continued outdoors. It used to be that you could smoke anywhere, then businesses started creating indoor smoking sections. Then indoor smoking sections were banned and smokers moved to the outdoor seating. Then smoking outside near exterior doors was banned, in a way that effectively banned smoking at many restaurants entirely. Beyond this, in some places like NYC you have smoking bans in public parks and beaches as well, regardless of how far you are from any exterior door. (To be clear, I support these bans because cigarette smokers are notorious for their litter.)

And in the case of cannabis the restrictions are even more severe. In Washington you cannot smoke cannabis in view of the general public or in most buildings (except residential, although many apartment buildings have smoking bans too.) California is more permissive, but even they enforce a 1000(!) foot smoking ban around schools and youth centers.
Not all aesthetic creations are valuable art. If you want to buy ever more clothing because the designer created art, then pay the designer the same, produce one piece and put it in a museum; then we can get on with economising to reduce or negative impact on the planet sufficiently so it race might just survive the next few centuries.

What's the relative pollution of production of an article of fashion wear vs a game download? It's going to be something like a 100k times more pollution from the clothing, surely?
>2-4 are great examples of survivorship bias.
>For every success story with those traits are thousands of failures.

I guess that is the reason why 2-4 start with "luck from...".

I was there in early 1990s, and it was completely different.

The immediate benefits of the Internet were obvious, and much more interesting than any theoretical "take over the world" growth story. People were willing to tackle slow connections, bad UIs and device configuration hell so that they could get chatting on IRC or posting on Usenet or downloading files from weird/shady FTP servers.

With cryptocurrency, there's nothing new or interesting you can actually do, no meaningful human connections to be made. It's just speculating on a made-up growth story, like penny stocks you can trade 24/7 — but we already had penny stocks and boiler room scams.
That's mostly used in Taiwan for typing, I don't think it's really common in China. I could be wrong though.

Linux containers on Android devices have a long history of failure. I wonder if there's a technical reason why they keep going under, or if it's strictly a lack of interest from end-users who want a Linux desktop environment on their phones.
In my experience, Uber and Lyft have sucked out of LAX since they started requiring them to only use the arrivals level for pickups and dropoffs.

The drivers will consistently try to call/text me to ask where I'm going so they can cancel or ignore me if the ride isn't as long as they'd like. Then you end up playing chicken with the driver to see who cancels first and gets stuck with the penalty. If the driver does show up, I've noticed they'll often give a shitty rating out of spite.

I've decided that it's usually not worth it to deal with the Uber/Lyft bullshit when I can pay an extra $1-5 for a taxi. I don't have to wait for the driver to work their way around the horsehoe of LAX, I don't have to worry about the driver canceling on me, and I prevent the driver from wrecking my social credit score in the Uber and Lyft apps.
JP Morgan has about 50k "engineers."

A lot of them are managers, analysts, or people who work with tech, but aren't all trained software engineers. A scrum master is considered an engineer.
