The app seems compelling but not something I’d likely use much. I’ve noticed this lowkey buzz for Roam building. While I respect their approach and agree with some core concepts, I feel like the implementation is not ideal for the types of notes I, and many others, take. If anyone’s interested in a new note app we are building, PM me for access to the alpha. We are launching the beta in May but would appreciate feedback in the meantime!

Thanks for the great summary, you made the whole point so easy
Thanks
You are completely ignoring my point: you can't go by a one-sentence summary in an article to infer that the Court's ruling on allowed items is vague. You'd actually need to look at the written deicision instead of spending your time pre-judging and coming up with a bunch of hypothetical examples.

Additionally, most goods sold are already classified as a certain type of item for regulatory purposes in the EU, so that work has already been done.
> You won’t be able to scale your solution before a vaccine is out

Why not? Scaling a test is a completely separate exercise to scaling a vaccine, and it has the advantage that multiple proven working tests exit now, they just need to be scaled. Both can be done, by different people.

You might also find that having a vaccine and a test is better than having just a vaccine.

> If their vaccine is approved

Multiple vaccines are in development. This is not a situation where we should stop doing X now because Y _might_ happen in 8 months or more time. None of the vaccines are guaranteed to be ready and working and scaled at any given date. None of them.

This opposition is just as much, if not more, motivated by people feeling like their class interests are at risk.

"...interesting example of how organizations learn."

Highest recommendation for Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation, first published in 1963, 5th edition in 2003.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations

It's seminal. Having read a lot of process and innovation books in 90s and aughts, I really wish I had known to just start with the original text.

Knowledge sharing takes time. We know how to model it. This book (and others) helped me to calm down and try to hasten the process instead of wasting my energy railing and failing.

Over a forty year career, I only worked full time for perhaps 30% of that time. Sure, I left a lot of money on the table but my wife and I are still financially secure and working 25 to 32 hours a week on average gave me more time with friends and family, and time to write (which I enjoy doing).

Spend effort on career and job skill development, but treat jobs as transactions of time for money, and I suggest devaluing the value of money once basic needs and saving for future needs are met.

Snap is honestly driving me away from Ubuntu. Managed systems are less manageable with snap involved.
There are more than a few varieties of regulations in the alcohol business. It’s such a jumbled mess, especially for interstate commerce. Check out freethegrapes.org, they are an industry advocacy group and are sure to have an ongoing lobbying action in your home state to permit direct wine shipment. There’s only a few holdouts still, although many states make it prohibitively cumbersome and expensive for small alcohol businesses to open up direct shipping, even if it may be legal.
He is of the "5G is causing cancer and being used to cull the population" variety. He is unsure of his position on the COVID aspect of it, but "both come from China so you have to wonder."
Totally agree, just have to report back that it's no huge'er job in terms of systems management. But am on your page. I guess it's relative, I was Ubuntu, too, because I liked the next-next-next ideology, but, when it comes to it, either system-types can be as maintenance free as any other. Rolling releases has the convenience of not being so difficult to upgrade, as you just roll along, you sometimes end up having to reinstall, on these systems like here, like Ubuntu and co I mean. But yeah work is what's most important. I've been a happy Ubuntu user for ages, glad you're getting your work done. It's all that matters relatively speaking. Thanks
As a Toughbook owner since the Pentium-90 days, they're a mixed bag. Everything you hear about them is true. I've shot up some old ones to see what calibers they'll withstand (.22 and birdshot, not much else), and I've used them in the rain, dropped them down stairs, launched rockets off one when I forgot the pad and didn't want to make another trip back home...

...but what you don't hear is all the annoying stuff. At least the old ones had super lame BIOS functionality, perhaps intended for a corporate environment where allowing the user to boot from USB (and this reinstall their OS) was actually a bad thing. The keyboards range from "mediocre" to "godawful". They're at least a generation behind in pretty much everything, and about 4 generations behind in max RAM capacity, for some reason. Since RAM tends to bottleneck my usage long before CPU, that means they become irrelevant a lot sooner than a Thinkpad with the same CPU, for instance.

And of course, the metal shell means that RF is tricky. They do all sorts of tricks to get the wifi signal out, with antennas inside plastic pods on the sides and stuff, but it's always a game of compromises.

Know that going in, and you can be very happy with a used Toughbook. I would have to be spending someone else's money to buy a new one.
It runs LXC. NOT LXD.
And now LXD does the same as proxmox pve. It runs both VMs and containers.
I can’t either and besides the Mac, I’m fully onboard with the Apple ecosystem - iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, and an AppleTV 4K.

I bought Macs way back in the day - my last one was a 2006 Mac Mini to use as an HTPC. But every time I get ready to buy a computer, Macs don’t seem to have any advantage. I would be installing the same software I use for Windows - Chrome, Visual Studio Code and various language runtimes, Visual Studio (or Rider), a bit torrent client, Plex, etc.

I can buy a Dell a lot cheaper - of course from the MS store to avoid all of the crapware - and have more options.

I still recommend Macs for other people though who have the budget. They are still slightly less of a hassle than Windows and they can go to an Apple Store if they have any issues.
You're using "energy" as a pseudoscientific gloss. A human being provides an extremely meager amount of energy in the physics sense of the word. That energy could be purchased much more cheaply. The economic value of human labor is more closely tied to human intelligence/dexterity.

More reasons to think your comment is more about making the reader feel the insight is deep: there are other important conserved quantities in physics like charge; shouldn't that play a foundational role in economics if your analysis was correct? Will you next say that business leadership is really about "taking charge"?

GNU Aspell has an en_GB-ize-w_accents dictionary, which I think is what's needed. The source seems to be here: http://wordlist.aspell.net/

It's the UN's official version of English [1], and my employer's, and it's widely used in scientific publications.

I'd like to use it in Firefox, but the British dictionary extension[2] accepts both versions. I have "feces colored airplane modeling" marked as misspellings, and "digitized aeroplane signalling" accepted, but "digitised" is also accepted by this dictionary.

Except that this pattern doesn't hold for Indian immigrants. (The research is out there, I invite you to go find it.) So it's not fundamentally about foreignness, but rather about the uneven distribution of certain qualities amongst different population groups.

One could argue that the problem is at root with the American? Western? structural bias in favor of extroversion and assertiveness, but you need de-mystify the dynamics involved in the first place to make that case clearly.
I have a vastly overpowered machine - i7 6900k, GTX 1080 and electron apps definitely don't feel as snappy as apps using traditional GUI toolkits. They almost all have typing latency, loading screens, etc... a pain all around.

My blood pressure decreased by a huge amount the day I replaced discord & slack by ripcord... and it's also much better in term of UX when you are on a ton of different instances.

e.g. the difference in responsivity is huge :

and ripcord does so in 87 megabytes of RAM with while slack does it in 758 :
https://i.imgur.com/xivK3gr.png

and that's not counting that I would also need discord next to it. I had to buy 64gb on that machine because of all this fuckery - add a few additional work workspaces and a 16gb machine which is already more than what the general public have and it's unuseable.
Just checked in the website of the biggest french retailer, and 7 out of the 10 most currently sold laptops have 8 gigs of ram for instance.
I’ve been chuckling a fair bit at the changes around here. Alcohol delivery very rapidly became a thing here as the lockdown was looming; local breweries teamed up to put together a website and the logistics to deliver their products together (Want craft brew from these 3 companies? You can get it all in one order!). Other companies are also delivering “mainstream” beer and wine as well. In-person liquor stores are still open as well, with one-way aisles set up and checkout distancing requirements, etc, because they were deemed to be “essential services”.

That’s not what makes me laugh the most though; pot is! Less than two years ago, marijuana was illegal in Canada. Now? The stores themselves are not open, but the local gov’t relaxed restrictions and there’s now a number of same-day delivery services! From illegal to essential in under two years!
Being burned by an AirBnB stay generally at least leaves you with an entertaining tale of OMGWTF. A bad hotel experience usually just leaves you grossed out or with bedbug bites.

I have one of each: a funny AirBNB caper and a totally disgusting hotel story I wouldn't bother telling. The latter involves stains of the uhh... lonely masculine sort... on towels. Shudder.
He was the first person I thought of when I saw this. He's been saying for weeks that the ventilator strategy was wrong and was harming patients.
I think it does still fill something like that mid-point if you're staying with a host instead of renting your own private space.

I haven't generally had social hosts most of the times I was staying with airbnb, but I'm also fairly anti-social myself, but even just this last year, I was up in Buffalo NY for an event and ended up asking my host where to go for dinner, which turned into us hanging out the next day because he was starting his own brewery and wanted to share some of his homebrew.

Even without something like that, for me, a lot of the value isn't even in interacting with a host as much as it is the feeling of sharing a lived-in space with someone. Small bits of personal decor, or looking through what random DVDs they have on the shelf provides some warmth that a chain hotel never will. It's a bit trite, but I think you can often tell the hosts that really care about providing a good experience from how they describe the rental, as well as looking at the actual decor and the space you're renting.

India is well known for its casteism against untouchables which is nothing but pure racism. Even after 70 years of affirmative action - India still has 20% of its upper castes controlling 80% of Class A and Class B posts. Without affirmative action - it would have been 100%.

What, science says it's round? The same mainstream science that only serves a globalist agenda to reinforce the status quo and prop up big pharma, and brainwash people into conformity? The same scientific establishment that lies about gender and race and climate change? Obvious bullshit.

To relegate such activity to a permanent place in the past assumes a very hokey fundamental change in human nature, or, commits a very naive faith to regulation and transparency.
