I totally disagree. I just cannot see a racial aspect in the word "Ghetto blaster". What makes you think so? Was it only used by white old men? Or by middle aged cyan women?
From back when I researched it, accommodation mismatch is a huge problem for a small (but significant) proportion of the population in terms of nausea or headaches. It's less of a problem for movie-theaters because accomodation is at infinity for the screen itself, so as long as they don't have too much for too long that is much closer to the viewer than the screen, it doesn't cause any issues, but it seems like it would be a major issue for a screen designed to be viewed up close?

Thank you for the correction! I uncritically took my story from a webpage on soviet watch history. I also didn't realize that the design was a shared ancestor of both rolex and molnija - I thought molnija had copied rolex. Such are the pitfalls of being an amateur.

I've found that most soviet watch brands decay in quality as you get into the 90s. If they don't, they start to match the price points of their western counterparts.

Most of us were hired consultants in the open office that we shared with her. Management and internal staff sat in private offices, mostly. The instructions from my employer were always to not disrupt the status quo. She was their employee, and it was not up to us to complain about it.

Indeed - if that is just ‘speech’, then surely trump can argue that his Ukraine call was just ‘speech’ that the 1st amendment protects.

To be clear I think that would be absurd, and it seems equally absurd for the Slate to be making this argument.
Yup, thin air. When people borrow money, the bank just creates the money out of nowhere. That money doesn't actually exist until the debt is paid. Banks are ultimately responsible for the extreme inflation of virtually all currencies currently in use.

A Weightlifting Routine for Software Engineers
That's essentially correct, regarding the necessity of fracking to make natural gas able to have the impact that it has for the US.

US natural gas production had not net moved higher from 1976 to 2006.

Here's the boom from 2000 to 2013:

https://i.imgur.com/S8Ky983.png

You can see that it doesn't really move until 2007, when the fracking lift-off begins. Primarily Texas and Marcellus.

From mid 2000 to 2009, natural gas prices in the US averaged around 100% to 150% higher than they are now. From 2003 to 2009, prices were essentially a minimum of 100% higher the entire time than they are right now. There simply wasn't enough supply to tame the demand impact, so prices got really crazy during the commodity bubble years in there.

The long-term global NG demand chart is remarkable:

Russian natural gas production is now well over twice what it was in the mid 1970s. And Middle East natural gas production is something like seven times higher than it was just 25 years ago.

One hypothesis is that part of the short-term stock movements is causing about publicly visible stupid acts, causing either physical or PR disasters of various sizes. That would imply some correlation, but a relatively small one.
Is this going to be the sort of phenomenon that we will eventually look back as a signifier of the dumb money economic bubble we're in, similar to past trends like the wild access to credit in the Roaring Twenties, the run up to the S&L crisis in the '80s, the worthless tech IPOs of the Dot-Com Bubble, the liar's loans of the 2000s, and another examples of rampant finacialization?

If the environment is one in which non-financial institutions can easily create banks, easily find customers for their banks, and not invite regulator scrutiny, does that mean behind the scenes something is going horribly wrong?

Yes? But I did not classify it as scandal, but as news, or as as something of interest to the general populace. In the same vein, I did not discuss journalism as a whole.

What game really matters. High attention games I find don’t work. Just like driving during rush hour in tretcherous conditions doesn’t work for me, but a driving sim where I can’t physically die if my mind wanders might...

Multiplayer games of high action, like overwatch similarly are bad.

Other games that don’t work well for me are zachtronic likes, too hard, and too much like the problems I’m trying to solve.

Suprisingly, though, dark souls is a good game to play. Something about the combat is meditative, especially the corpse runs from dying to an easy mob, that focuses my attention in ways I find other activities don’t.

Homm3 seems like a good meditative game. Lots of relatively brainless combat, especially if you use save games to avoid truly stupid moves. Many one more turn type games can fall under this historically. Newer strategy games I find lack this quality though. It seems that modern game design generally avoids the dominant and dominated strategies that I used to enjoy finding and exploiting mindlessly decades ago.

By and large though, I personally try to avoid games until I’m done for the day. I find it hard to go back to work, and my working sessions are shorter and shorter the earlier I allow myself to play any games...
From Western Europe I moved to Mexico City. I work and live here now, and this city suffers intense amounts of pollution almost every day. When you take an Uber somewhere they all drive with their windows open (airco's are expensive to run) and you get the full blast of diesel trucks and older cars' fumes.

I came here for a girl. I'm leaving because of pollution. The city is amazing in its own right, but I feel like I'm breathing lung cancer.
"The System" is never broken. It works as it's intended to work by the people who control it.
I sometimes use GNU Make to fire off custom code generators, before the files are handed off to other parts of the toolchain which can have their own complicated dependency management. This works quite well. The one annoying problem that I often encounter is that Make does not handle multiple targets (i.e. the code generator generates multiple files, e.g. 'file1.h', 'file1.cpp', 'file2.h', 'file2.cpp', 'test.cpp'). I usually end up inserting a bunch of .PHONY targets, which causes unnecessary evaluation of the dependency graph, but at least it works, instead of breaking in seemingly random ways.

My other use of Makefiles is to capture small (< ~5 lines) of bash, python or such scripts for doing certain things within a directory. I find that to be more efficient than documenting that sort of info in a README.md file.

While I think it's great that these big coal-fired power plants are going away, i never see anyone talking about the millions of homes in the United States (mostly in the northeast) that are heated by individual coal stoves and coal and oil furnaces.

Individual coal burning is a huge problem because homes don't have the same environmental regulations or efficiency of a coal power plant. One of the environmental advantages of electric cars and other machines is a reduction in "point source" pollution. You can put huge scrubbers on a power plant that you can't on a million stoves or lawn mowers or whatever.

Even when all of the coal power plants are gone, there's still another huge coal burning problem waiting to be tackled.
Reminder: The drivers are digitally signed, in most cases.

The use of the word "intelligence" overall is problematic. To most people, "intelligence" is human inductive reasoning. We see "intelligent" creatures in mass media and books--creatures that act just like humans except aren't biological. We think of Commander Data from Star Trek. Proponents of AI know most people interpret the term that way and gladly use the term as a way of implying the same magic we see in media.
We had a well growing up, and I think we always just considered the water free. Though we did have a water softener, so I suppose there was the cost of salt for that. Similar to water heating though, I think we didn't really factor that into the cost of the water.
It's about the balance of positive and negative effects. There's always some kind of pollution and there's always some kind of benefit from exercise. The benefit from commuting on a bicycle is considerable. Question is how does the effect of pollution compare. If air quality is better indoors and you can do it indoors, great, but for many people commuting is one of the few opportunities to be physically active.
I have one of these and it's easy to hook it into your home automation stuff as it presents a CIFS share and it's simply a matter of attaching and reading a text file.

I'm definitely sensitive to noises and am a stereotypical introvert.

One thing they didn't mention that gets me is not related to noise. It's privacy. I have an extremely strong innate need for privacy and I'm not sure where that comes from. I never liked sharing personal details or preferences (like favourite bands), and the idea of someone watching me work just makes me uneasy.

It's not even a fear of being caught out avoiding work. I'll happily sit there and read HN in full sight. It's just off-putting and distracting and makes it hard to do real work so anything that takes my attention away will win.

My current workplace has low-walled shared cubicles which is at least better than the big no-barrier desks I see at startups. Barely.

The production in Jan-Mar of 2013 was 244,000 according to your own link.

Over the same three months in 2019 it was down to 179,000 according to your own link.

I'm not sure what you think needs to be explained. Coal production is down substantially.
Yep. California stopped buying the electricity generated by the coal mines and coal power plants owned by the Navajo Nation in Arizona and New Mexico. The power plant shut down, but it's actually expanding its financial dependence on coal. It recently bought two huge coal companies in Wyoming to send the coal to Asia.

I just got the new AirPod Pros with noise cancellation, and have found them excellent and filtering out a lot of the ambient office noises. I turn them on and the AC whoosh, keyboard clicks and other white noise disappear. I can still hear voices, but they're much quieter and easily defeated with some music. If you haven't tried them it might be a good option, I find them comfortable to wear for hours at a time.
That is essentially the feature of the “good” thinkpads. You can replace almost anything, but the whole thing is built in this weird upside-down way and replacing anything that you really want to replace means that you have to take the whole thing almost completely apart. On the other hand if you read the official procedure for that and take inspiration from that, the only tool you really need to take it completely apart and assemble back is literally an cheapest swiss army knife which includes philips screwdriver.

This isn't true in any reasonable sense, and SA retract the claim in a footnote. But nuclear plants produce so much less waste than coal plants that overall, they release less radiation joule for joule.

That's an extremely generous description. For one, he's not really a journalist. All he does is publish leaked information. In that regard, he's not unique at all nor has he published more quantity or quality than MSM sources. James Risen on the NY Times broke the mass surveillance story. Sy Hersh of the New Yorker broker My Lai and Abu Ghraib. Glenn Greenwald published the Snowden leaks. Assange is best known for Cablegate where he actually mishandled that info. He's also best known for the DNC email leaks which we now have evidence on the record showing that he coordinated this leak with Roger Stone at the behest of the Trump campaign and probably received the info from professional Russian hackers. He has absolutely debased himself. And he's been far less influential than he believes himself to be.

Do you have numbers on people in the northeastern US using coal stoves for heating? I'm not necessarily doubting you, but I lived in New Hampshire for a long time and still go back regularly to see family and friends, and I don't think I've ever seen a coal stove. IME most houses use either natural gas or wood pellet stoves for heating. Which aren't ideal but they're leaps and bounds better than coal.
