Been there, done that.. Still overweight though, but not by much (~10Kg).

What has been working for me was a change of perspective, i.e., to accept that life is complicated and there's not enough time in one day to do everything I'd like to do. I now have a new "mantra" which is something in the lines of "any-thing is better than no-thing"..

I too used to read a lot of self-help books, but now they bore me.

I'm still playing catch-up with a lot of things that I should do, but I try to not overload my days. I have daily TODOs with no more than 2/3 things, and each Sunday/Monday morning I go to my weekly TODO lists and split those items through the week days. When I don't finish one thing on one day, I'll move it to the next one, etc. I use evernote for that, but could use a text file as well. I have some liberty in setting my schedule, so I try to do things in the morning and keep my afternoons free for house chores, taking walks, napping, or going somewhere to do something..

One cool thing that got me unstuck regarding things to do, was to sort them by "Easyness x Importancy x Urgency". If you tackle the most easy, important and urgent things first, you'll see things moving faster.. When you're down on motivation, don't listen to those who say that you should do the hard things first, as it requires motivation.

Also, every morning I do 20 abs on bed, then stretch my arms, legs, and do some 20 squats and some 10-15 pushups. It started by being only stretches, then abs, then 5 pushups, slowly moving along. Now it's a routine I have. I have way more energy, my partner agrees..

Also, I have dry eyes, so I started putting some drops, 2-3 times a day, and now I'm seeing way better, less headaches, more things being done.

In summary, it's the small things that add up. Don't try to do too much, too fast, too soon. Accept that life is hard and that our behaviors are hard to change (accepting != conforming).
In, or rather around, passive houses they are meant to block light during summer. That's why it's recommended to plant trees that will shelter your house from the sun thus lowering temperature inside (and your cooling energy requirements, if you've got air-con, etc.). During winter they shed their leaves and let the sun in, providing the opposite effect. Of course that's in climate zones that actually have summers and winters. Granted, you don't need entire forest for that.

Naturally, that works for most kinds of houses, not just passive ones. It's just especially important for those, if you want to achieve their stated (very low) energy requirements levels.
>To counter

I agree with you, but this isn't really a counter-argument; it bolsters my point.

The examples the OP gives of things that were coinsidered "not worth the time" were, in fact, so desired that the time between "first" and "first commercial" was sometimes spread over tens or even hundreds of years.

These were not things that skeptics wanted thrown in the dustbin, but instead a Great Man worked on to bring them to fruition. They were fine tuned over long periods by many people.

We have this weird thing where you can find a quote by some monk, or Steve Ballmer and the iPhone and we think, "No one believed!" But there is plenty of evidence (judging by time from "first" to "first commercial" ) that people saw value from day one. The iPhone was a big step, but itself was still just an iteration. That's how progress works.

It certainly is more dangerous than the flu but if you're not weak or old taking some random untested drugs recommended on an internet forum by someone who has no idea what he's talking about is most likely more risky than just following health organisations recommendations.
If you are doing enterprise software I think you’ll find OIDC support less important - I don’t think most enterprise IdPs support it.

If you want one target: you’ll want SAML to federate against ADFS. That gets you going with an open standard and targeting one of the most common IdPs.

Also worth noting that the political structures in 1984 are described in the book as "Oligarchical Collectivism" - not being in the US I tend to associated the term "oligarch" with Russia.
Surely it's just a WHOIS privacy service?

Surely they should provide the information in response to any reasonable request?

(* reasonable request is obviously a bit vague and needs clarification, but I think there really does need to be a proper policy/procedure for this - WHOIS existed for a reason, and that reason hasn't gone away just because access to that data has been abused).
As i said, i understand not everybody is willing. I personally am willing to do it for the most part.

There are of course apps/services where it's not practical, like facebook which seems to have become the worlds social life agenda, and even my kids school posts arrangements through facebook.

That doesn't mean that Facebook has the run of my phone, in fact i don't even have the app. I use the web interface along with content blockers (1Blocker) and PiHole/PFBlockerNG on my network.

Almost every service has some option to at least limit your exposure.

Your comment reads like stating "I am right and deep down you know that too", and that is less than pleasing.

I completely agree with that. Right now the system is less than ideal. But, there is many people willing to fight for a better world. And cynicism is only going to make things worse.

Many wrong decision are taken in name of profits. But that can be changed, our well being, our planet are at stake.

We have time and will to make things better. I just want to point out that we need to work for it. It will not come for free.
In the Enterprise space you will definitely want to offer both. Most enterprises still sadly leverage ADFS which is SAML2.0. Fortunately a ton of shops are adopting cloud IDaaS, so OIDC is becoming the standard (mostly because SAML for native apps is awkward)
The review was global and included Australia. It is linked from above. :)
People don't vote on things, they vote on other people. That's the first problem of modern democracy.

Second problem: to the extent people vote on politicians over things they promise, they vote based on what politicians say they will do (and not in absolute, but relative to competing politicians), not over what they actually do or have done in the past. Since politicians are not accountable for their promises, and the general population has a really short memory, the main impact of voting is as an indirect signal - politicians hoping for being (re)elected have to say and do the things they hope will win them the next elections.

(In other words: the control input to political decision making system isn't what the populace wants, but the prediction of what would make most people vote favorably.)

Three: people vote based on what the media they read tells them is important, which usually has zero relation to reality and relative relevance of things. I'm far from believing media sources (including social media) are bought and controlled by politicians - no, it's worse. All sides try to nudge and control the narrative, and not just the government, but also the private sector. No one wins that tug-of-war, but the end result is that modern media is a form of complete DDoS attack on population's cognitive capabilities. It's literally making the society stupid.

Starships sitting on Earth are under compression. Starships hanging from one another's nose via a tether are presumably under tension, unless the tether is somehow anchored to the engine support structure at the base of each vehicle. So some non-trivial structural modifications would be required.
If you haven't, you can try chickens or guinea fowl. Chickens are vastly easier, but I hear guineas are more effective (they were too wild for us and wouldn't return to the barn).

I think this points at a fundamental question that creeps up in lots of different ways around our discussions of Silicon Valley. A founder needs to ask themselves: Is your business really a software company. I'd suggest that actually, the technical complexity of HelloFresh's core business is about as complex as the mail order business Pryce Pryce-Jones set up in 1861 to sell mail order Welsh flannel. Which begs the question why you're paying rockstar software engineers at all.

Obviously part of the answer is "Because I need a tech unicorn valuation". But maybe your marketing to investors shouldn't be what you're actually basing your hiring decisions on.
Unless I'm very wrong about the technical implementation, the data that the bank has is just the store where I shopped (merchant, card terminal) and the amount. They do not have data on what I bought, as in the data that's on the store's receipt. The store, on the other hand, only has the card number and not my name. This is where I see the need for legal protections. The store should not be allowed to keep that receipt info (item breakdown) for more than X days. They should not be allowed to transmit it at all. The bank should likewise not be allowed to engage in any data mining or forward that information anywhere.

As for the broader privacy implication, that is something I would hope a national cryptocurrency addresses. While cash is anonymous, anonymity is not a property exclusive to cash. From my point of view, everything sucks about cash except anonymity - so, by a software analogy, it makes more sense to port anonymity to cashless systems than to maintain a legacy cash system.
Sonos speakers have beautiful sound but the constant loss of connectivity is a nightmare.

This is why I like to draw a distinction between space exploration and space colonization. The former is definitely within the realm of possibility, using existing technology (never mind the Superheavy/Starship system).

But Musk, with his talk of a self-sufficient city, is clearly targeting the latter, and there are a whole lot of details we haven't worked out.
GPUs still have higher memory bandwidth than CPUs though. So if you miss in caches all the time, GPUs can still potentially come out on top (as long as you can keep the higher memory latency under control, which the massive effective hyper-threading of GPUs should be able to help with). That's the point of using GPUs for solving memory-hard problems for mining those "ASIC-resistant" coins.

Some strange revisionism there as few of the authors of UHH were involved with Windows.. which is what ended up completely eating commercial Unix lunch... a win that was not so much due to Microsoft’s competence as their competitors stupidity.

Meanwhile calling Mac OS X or Android Unix-like just because they have some tools in common (MAC OS X is only vaguely a BSD — and launchd seems to get some love by the same people that have a conniption fit over systems) .. none of those systems use X for sure. Desktop Linux is a rounding error.. the part of Linux that gets used heavily for servers that is the reason that WSL is a thing (to ease development)?? Yeah that has basically fuck all to do with the disasters in SySV/commercial Unix... not too many people using SySV IPC on Linux, and cgroups, epoll, io_uring hardly remind me of the miserable APIs of now ancient Unix.

What's the use case for this dumb mode? Does Anki not have a "cram" mode that just goes through all flashcards with none of the fancy interval logic?

One of the wonderful things about software assisting with spaced repetition is that it automatically selects and remembers efficient intervals. It's crazy how little time is spent per flashcard with this automation.

From the long term view, it seems reasonable to assume that the high economic growth rates of the 20th century are not going to be something we’ll see again anytime soon. An environmentally-sustainable economic outlook for the future is likely to see long period of close to 0% growth, and more frequent periods of negative growth. Environmentally-sustainable economics seems like a net positive for society, and at this point, an almost necessity.
Not the OP, but I walk around with a bunch of bills and occasionally a feature phone, most often no phone whatsoever. It works perfectly fine, my friends keep in touch with me in more roundabout ways, usually drop me an e-mail or call the landline when I'm home or in my office.

So, what about the hypothesis that aliens 'released' the concept of crypto currencies on Earth, resulting in that idling computers and whole data centers would start mining bitcoins instead of investigating signals from extra-terrestrial life forms?

Pretty sure what happened is: someone said ubiquitous facial recognition would discriminate against ex-cons, minorities, et al. Someone saw that as saying it's OK to discriminate against minorities for the same reason it's OK to discriminate against ex-cons, and got upset on behalf on minorities. Others got upset at that person on behalf of ex-cons, and a valuable lesson about clarity in expression was learned.

What do you mean unproven? There are reinfection cases with incredibly low latencies being reported all over the globe. A handful of reports might be written off as misunderstandings or outliers but there are multiple reports per day from reputable sources. Reinfection is certainly a factor, the only question is by what mechanism.

Even from a customer interaction point of view it's dubious. Sonos gear benefits from a network effect, so giving someone a hand-me-down speaker has potential for future sales there.

I’m amazed as well! Notifications are like permission for strangers to interrupt my life at their leisure. I don’t want their coupons, their announcements, their... whatever else. I’ve got important things in my life that I want to give my attention to and the last thing I need is a direct line into my pocket, desk, and home to try and get my attention. To me this sounds like a dystopian society where ad agencies rule the world. I recognize that not everyone is as extreme as me, but why can’t we agree that such notifications are not the best thing for us?

Some people decide whether or not a site is worth looking at extremely quickly - if it looks "old" or "broken" they hit the back button immediately.

You build good systems with a combination of technical and legal measures, of course. Ban sharing of purchase data (legal measure) and also build systems to the data is encrypted with your on-card key (technical measure). It's no different from any other system. Violators need to be punished accordingly, but that's a broader failure in tech, that fines for abuse are very small.

Of course legal restrictions don't work well without technical measures, but anything privacy-related is a social problem first and foremost, so it needs legal solutions in addition to the technical ones.

Myths and bad arguments about climate change (2016)
I am from Spain, and today the people in power there are socialistic(psoe) and communist(podemos),the last one friends and money receivers from Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Iran and Cuba.

I attended a talk in the past("Know your enemy") when they defended and wanted to collect money and people for helping Colombia's FARC.

Those guys want to destroy democracy from democracy, just like Hitler, Mussolini or Chavez.

The last thing you want to do is give a Government like this all the information of all transactions made by the people in the country.

And that is exactly what "cash free" means. In countries like the US the mechanism of control of political power by people are more powerful, but even there companies control and concentration of information is too high(Americans distrust Government but trust companies) for a healthy system.
