This reminds me we need counterweights and counters for the counters.

With some of the health and drug plans being pitched I noticed a huge influx of negative ads about them.. the pharma and insurance coompanies have tons of money to push 'facts' - and there is no counter balance aside from some of the media.. other parts of the media we weaponized into do commercials for them and for some the paychecks or residual percentages kept them quiet about any possible discrepancies..

So we have some good counterweights with some media fact checking numbers and ways for plans from Warrren and Sanders - which was good because it has kept the conversation going.. but where is the counter to that counter?

Transparent facts and callouts of the false facts in ways that are easier to find perhaps?

I tried to reverse image search a hoax pic someone had posted on fbook the other day and it was not as simple as it should of been - no wonder people are having a hard time determining truth.. partial truth.. plain lies / intent.. etc..

bloomberg promising public option? Is he paying for it? How is it going to happen? If him and all his Dems win? Let's see we had that once - Obama and both sides of congress had full control of all the laws and purse strings, promised affordable health care and keep our docs.

That did not really work out the way everyone thought, and I see similar with these kinds of promises on a candidate's site. How they intend to do these things is just as important as promises them imho.

Supposedly a single human produce around 300g of carbon per day in the form of carbon dioxide. A tree's dry weight is about 50% carbon, but when the tree is alive, it's probably still 80% water. So I'm approximately guessing that a tree needs to grow 3kg per day to offset a single human's CO2 production. I don't think there are many plants that grow at a rate of 3kg per day -- you'd probably need 500 indoor plants making 6g of mass per day.

I've grown some hydroponic basil that makes almost 50g of material per day, so maybe it's possible to have 60 indoor basil plants to offset your carbon production. When I chopped the basil plant, it was as tall as I was.
Eh, many OSes have been down this road, but the problem is that you end up having to emulate the Linux ABO, but the Linux ABI is large and fast-evolving and underdocumented, and you'll need to be compatible with it, and that's ETOOHARD. Even Microsoft has given up on emulating the Linux ABI.

Then what's this Linux subsystem that Windows ships?

> Linux ABI is large and fast-evolving and underdocumented

You don't have to keep up with the latest ABI. You don't need to match tip-of-tree. You only need to match some version of Linux that programs still target, and that version can be pretty old, since enterprise customers scream bloody murder when you force them up upgrade kernels to run new programs.

There's been some recent experiments[1] that suggest that an observer's measurements can be subjective, and that different observers can experience different past facts.

If that's the case, does that suggest that rather than a neat tree of discrete universes that don't interact after they branch, the universe could be much fuzzier mess of conflicting realities that can intercommunicate?

Talk to people. Don't take a few seconds of something that they said and relentlessly mock them, like the guy is doing in that video you sent. That's why our country is so divided these days.

Again, there is such thing as aggregate behavior, but break it apart. How much of it is toxic, and how much of it do you just find weird/not quite your taste?

Going back to the video, you might think all that focus on triggers and anxiety is indicative of a greater toxic culture (evidence of aggregate behavior as you say) -- but were you there for the whole thing? Did you try to understand what they were coming from, and why they take that approach? Did you try to first discover with an open mind what you have in common and what your values fundamentally disagree with?

I'm sure in a moment of carelessness or stress you've probably done something stupid in traffic, but it would be unfair for someone to categorize you as a negligent or inept person without talking to you first.

I am kind of harping on this because I used to be pretty judgmental, but since breaking out of that mindset I've become a kinder and frankly much smarter person.

It's easy to treat someone like the "other" and project a lot of unfavorable traits onto them, because it's human nature. But it's important to try not to other-ize people.
looks like there are (led?) lights under the pictured double-sided gas station solar panel canopy. letting some of the light through would be more efficient that the conversion to electricity and then back to light.

and yes, you'd still need lighting at night, but a semi-transparent roof combined with the wider area lights already in use at gas stations would still likely be more efficient.

Maybe startups would be more desirable alternatives if they gave RSUs instead of stock options, or at the very least have an exercise period of 7+ years instead of 3 months, or not be forced to pay the cash equivalent of taxes just for exercising...

As it stands now, startups are just places that offer half the salary compared to public companies. Working for half what you could be making is a large ask of almost anyone.

> You can make the argument that although absence of E2EE does help identify pedophiles more easily, in the balance it is more important to enable E2EE to protect privacy.

You're correct in what we should NOT argue.

Now, the problem with "in the balance" between security and privacy is that when in fear society will quickly go for patriot act.

It's curious how we, as a society, can't find a simple, true and incontestable argument in favor of privacy. The only one I know is that it is a fundamental right.

But still this argument is a little too abstract for most people.

Most of the time, startup founders will have been successful elsewhere, or else they’d not have the ability to risk enough to do a startup. That’s why one avoids startups run by executives kids who are “creating” a track record.
I tend to agree with you: sometimes smarter just means better at rationalizing your current ideology.
In practice: there are many companies that built interesting networking products on top of BSD kernels and had no compulsion to release the source, and meanwhile the performance of Linux's networking stack slowly beat it, because companies were working upstream.
This seems like the first time I have ever seen a GNU/Linux distribution switch to BSD.

> You can mitigate it with infrastructure changes like aggressive caching

Rate data has a very limited validity period. Customers get super super pissed (and assume you're scamming them) if when they click through they find out that the hotel/flight/whatever that on the previous page you had said was $200, is now either $250 or sold out. Customers, and the local authorities also tend to get lawyers involved if it happens (in their eyes) too frequently without a good explanation.

It's expensive to get that rate data, because unless you have your own inventory, you have to go out to third party APIs to request that rate for the search parameter tuple which has a specific checkin/checkout dates. When you're searching larger cities - where you might have thousands of hotels - that can be an insanely large number of API calls to return rates.

Most places (including my former employer) don't have a problem issue with scrapers, so long as they didn't abuse the platform to the point that it was causing a ton of extra load. When you have someone who spins up huge numbers of connections at once, that's when we have to do something about it.

> you can charge for access for everyone

That's implicit in the purchase process.

It's like if there's a little cafe that provides free water and tables to sit at on their balcony. That works out for them because it attracts customers. Not everyone might buy something, but most do.

Then someone who runs a dog walking business decides to make that a stop on their walk with 20 dogs. Their dogs eat all the treats, run around the balcony, while the walker sits at the table and drinks the water. Meanwhile, customers are annoyed that there's now 20 barking dogs running around and so they leave.

The business is well within their rights to tell the dog walker to leave and not return without also blocking others who aren't abusing the system.
Maybe, indeed the article says:

Ugh. I hadn't heard that. WSL2 being a VM is a huge disappointment. There's the technically-cowardly Microsoft from the Ballmer era. Just when I thought Microsoft had rediscovered how to do technically interesting things, they wave the white flag and run away.

Using a VM for WSL means that it'll never be possible to write a program that's simultaneously a good win32 GUI citizen and a Unix API user. WSL1 (AFAIK) didn't allow this use case, but there was a path to get there. There's no path from a VM to a native USER32 process.

The bright side is that at least Cygwin won't die. Cygwin allows for precisely this use case.

Actually "the other poster" is a Nigerian that is beyond fed up with how easily Westerners swallow up barely coherent narratives about the politics and economics of my continent.

I do find it impressive how you link an article that talks about the actual solution already being implemented to drive down mobile internet costs in SSA - expanding the existent fibre-optic cable networks like MainOne and stimulating the growth of the local telecoms providers - to apparently support the idea that we're trying to launch satellites to get better internet (or, as per the original post, call rates within a country. Have you ever actually used a satellite phone?)
Big clever complicated models are important and useful of course but I think this sort of back-of-the-envelope calculation is important too. They can give a clue that a model isn’t massively wrong which is useful when developing a model and when replying to a complaint like “this model is so big and complicated that no one could have any confidence in its predictions.” It’s also something useful in directing further research.

I guess the point of the article is to say “here’s an implication of climate change that you possibly hadn’t thought/heard about.”

I know I’m inclined to think this is a serious issue and the effect of present indoor/city/outdoor CO2 levels on cognition is something I was concerned about anyway. CO2 levels outdoors are already 1/3 higher than 100 years ago and something like double the level of 10,000 years ago. And people spend more times indoors in better-sealed houses and denser offices.
What if these stars are disappearing as part of an orderly shut down procedure of some grand simulation, taking millennia from our perspective.

Civilizations would get to a level of science where they find out and even if they could reach us before the reset, there'd be no point. Like when you're playing a video game and you get "server shutdown in 30 minutes", you log off right away or mess around until it happens.

You are a much better founder than my founder was, and I'm glad you are. My founder was a good business man, kind of slimy, but effective. And definitely not transparent and gave a pretty employee unfriendly options contract. Again, I was an unwise jr and that experience was years ago now. I was also employee ~50, so I don't know if that was early enough to get real warm intros for investments with people I didn't interact with that much.

TBH the pre-ipo company I went on to next has given me a much better network than the startup I went to as a jr. One coworker direct has started a company that I think will do pretty well, along with a bunch of others who have gone on to VC firms, their own startups and so on.

The simulation is shutting down.
Go's concurrency design trades off memory usage for productivity; instead of red-blue functions where you have to explicitly design for function interrupt/yield points with the async keyword, you can just write sequential code and the runtime will handle the rest. The downside to this approach is that often the stack will have to be copied during the switching process vs the stackless approach preferred by Node.js, Rust, C# etc.

"if product has long shelf life and does not require refrigeration - it is probably unhealthy"

There are a lot of exceptions though: dried lentils and pulses, pasta, ground spices (and to a less extent whole spices). Tinned fruit, vegetables, beans and pulses are often fine too. Some vegetables, like onions and potatoes, can be stored for many weeks in a cool environment (not in the refrigerator).

Also, UHT milk has a long shelf life and is not unhealthy, although it tastes awful.

Right, but the flipside of that is people are using similar arguments they used against black civil rights like the horrors of integration and the dangers of mixed race marriages against LGBTQ+ community. At one point a majority of the country agreed with those opinions and that the government was overstepping its boundaries to further a harmful ideology.
Unfortunately this just turned into an off topic argument about racism. It's clear that you didn't intend to post flamebait, but fire safety depends on effects, not intentions.

Going into the military before you go to college seems to be a very common thing in the US.

In the UK you'd either do college (university) first, or you wouldn't be planning on doing it at all. Some people do in-service degrees but I don't think it's common for large number of people to do a normal undergraduate degree after a military career.

I fly Delta a fair amount and (with status), Delta seems quite good to me. With even the lowest level of status, there are no bag fees for anything approaching typical luggage load. Their app is fine. Web ticketing seems good to me. Domestically, I can almost always buy an economy ticket and get upgraded to first. Even where I have to pay for it, the upgrades are reasonably priced. During irregular ops (weather typically), they’ve always gotten me there within 18 hours of scheduled. I agree SWA is also good and my only experience recently on United was also good (but in business class Mumbai->Newark, so atypical to say the least).

I suspect flying up front on any of the majors is fine. Economy experience is driven by a race to the bottom price-wise, but if you want cheap travel, it’s readily available. If you want comfortable travel, that’s also on offer.
