This is great, thanks for sharing.

Now if I could just find something that acts like selinux in permissive logging mode so I can grant : to something in a dev environment run the thing I need to write a policy for and have it log every permission needed to run the thing I just ran. Would simplify policy writing a ton.
I am similar. At Uni I had a gregarious circle of friends and got a nickname that "everyone" used including my now wife.

Out of Uni, in the workplace I am legal-name - no more, no less. I don't want work bullshit to taint what I associate with friends and good times.

In further adult life, you get my legal-name until I know you well enough that we're social and you overhear my nickname.

It also means legal-name is more disciplined, whereas nickname is not...

My wife knows when to use which one. :-P

The savings rate in China is 40%. Economists have observed a negative correlation between the personal savings rate and the availability of a social safety net. In societies where the state does not provide a substantial safety net, people adapt by saving high percentage of their income, and this is why the savings rate in China is so high.

Incomes are higher today than during the periods in American history when economic growth rates were highest, so the fact that more people are living paycheck to paycheck is more likely explained by the establishment of a comprehensive social safety net reducing the incentive to build up personal savings.

Social welfare spending has massively increased over the course of the last several decades.

Here's the part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/fcxgk6

I shopped around and waited for sales/price drops and got it all for under £500 (not including drives). I don't the pricing if your're not in the UK, so it may be cheaper elsewhere to do another combination.

As for drives wait for good deals on WD Elements/My Book Desktop External Hard Drive and shuck them. Note, only do this for +8TB drives (these are CMR drives atm) as under that size the drives are SMR which you should avoid like the plague for RAID/ZFS as they have been reported to fail if you ever need to rebuild. So then you're looking at 4x£120 which is another ~£500ish investment.

If you want to save money get a preowned box like the N54L off eBay at ~£100, and spend the money on drives, then stick FreeNas on it and if you're only file-serving the box is good enough.

I think the custom box is a bit overkill but it's got so much room for upgrades, I plan on getting 8x10TB drives in there one day, plus you can run VMs on it as the i3 processor isn't too bad.
> This seems to work on only the most basic of locks, and doesn't seem to address "Security Pins" or false pins (pins if you move, will seize the keyway), which will cause false sets, clicks, partial keyway turns, etc.

I don't see why either of those are relevant.

A key in normal operation won't interact with false pins, and security pins (I assume you're talking about spools/mushrooms) act like normal pins to a key.
I was speaking to Europe in general, but good to know about Germany specifically.

>> How many cubesats can fit inside SpaceX Spacehip?

Spaceship capacity to LEO >100,000 kg (wikipedia)
Cubesat max mass 1.33kg (wikipedia)

That comes out to 75k max mass cubesats.

Cubesat is (10cm)^3, 100 fit in 1m^3, 75k fit in 750m^3.
Starship pressurized cargo volume is 1000m^3 (plenty of space).

At $2M per launch, it comes out to $27 per cubesat.
1) Your reasoning, even if potentially valid (I don't think it is) is incredibly selfish and leads to the exact scenario of rising inequality that we have today.

2) Social benefits accrue to everyone, including wealthy people. They just accrue equally to everyone rather than unequally to your specific wealth. That's an important distinction here because you're basically saying you should get favoritism for your wealth because you happen to have more of it. That's a bit of a weird stance.

3) In case it's not clear, the US doesn't currently collect enough tax revenue to actually pay for a well-functioning society. Take a look at [1]. If you want a first-world society on par with Denmark or Sweden, guess what...

Assuming plenty of time, not much luxury taste, wanting to ramp up tech skills, limited (but existing) funds

Buy one, establish a hacker space, hold regular events, show the awesome projects you do, try to have community-positive impacts. Do some remote gigs for funding.

At worse you get kicked out because people don't get technology, don't want you around, find out you're not going to be a source of income.

At best, people love what you do, help you renovate because plenty of materials and help can be had in some communities, and you go from homeless to remote tech worker.

That's what we do. How would letting others construct a meaning for us be better? The reason societies exist is because we lean to a human-centric meaning, not radical individualism necessarily, because we are hard wired to do so. But having a meaning imposed on you is not good, I think. Also, the reason we do good to society is because it satisfies us INDIVIDUALLY, not because we think it is efficient - there was no thinking involved in us being social beings, but evolution.
Just FYI, people have seen headline numbers in this Zillow report for SF market. But it is misleading. The overall housing market in Bay Area is actually stronger than pre-COVID [1] Even within SF, prices in condos are dropping but SFH are rising. So the narrative is people are moving from dense units to units with more space within the same MSAs. Which makes sense for me, as it allows people to WFH 2-3 days a week, and be in good school districts, while still commuting to office a few days

That's super-cool. Honestly that's what I was expecting the submission to be.

When I looked at the example image in the original submission, the same letters all look basically identical to me -- I can't figure out why it's JavaScript rather than just a font.

Yours actually looks like real handwriting. It's quite slow, though -- like the actual speed it takes to write. Was just wondering if you slowed it down intentionally for effect, or if that's just how long the NN takes?

Also, I'm not familiar with the space, but this feels like something you could commercialize as a plugin for Illustrator or something like that -- particularly if you had a range of sliders to really fine-tune the desired text properties (width, weight, weight variation, etc.).
You are severely mistaken. At will doesn't mean you can fire people for any reason without liability. Wrongful termination is a thing that companies are terrified of.

This reminds me of masks, but unexpectedly used in real world rather than in acting and/or improv.

For more on masks, if someone’s interested, read Impro by Keith Johnstone and (tangentially) Emissary’s Guide to Worlding by Iain Cheng.

Also, British comedy improv trio Pappy’s comes to my mind—in some podcast episodes there is a time where Tom spontaneously drops into another persona; Matthew immediately switches to addressing that mask instead of Tom, until Tom snaps out of it. It would’ve sounded incredibly bizarre to me had I not read Impro prior.

> basically just checking if they do drugs or take medication or not is quite a risk

The questions were a bit more probing than that. One question was something like, 'How are your relations with your family?', and I think there were questions about mental history etc.

> Also true, to be clear I think that Goenka courses are great resources for people who have sat shorter retreats before or have a long-term, stable practice. It's the "jumping in at the deep end" type stuff that happens, partially because they're free and so easy to access, partly because of the "boot camp" style image, that's risky. Many people aren't inclined to dive into early Buddhist texts and make sense of its philosophy and practice before attending a retreat for the first time.

Much of the seriousness of the retreat is described on the dhamma.org website. I had read and understood this before I signed up. I think I may have even had to confirm that I had read this before I was able to apply.

However, it's likely a lot of people just skip this like the T&Cs on their Facebook account. So I do agree with you, it would probably be to the benefit of the students to at least be aware of the seriousness of the course, and for this to be better communicated.

I had maybe sat 10 or so 1-hour meditation workshops just casually at festivals before I took my course. I had very little about Buddhist philosophy or practice, so I was very much diving in at the deep end, but I entered the course knowing it was a serious psychological intervention from the introduction on the website. During the course, I found the discourse tapes enough to give a satisfactory explanation of what I ought to be aiming for, and sometimes they even pre-empted questions or conflicts I had in my mind.

> A footrace (and sports in general) is a really poor metaphor for economics & tax policy. A better metaphor is pruning trees in a forest so that smaller ones actually get enough light to grow instead of withering away on the floor.

By that standard, a legit analogy in that case would still be basketball. Let's cut legs a bit to everyone taller 6' so that shorter ones actually get enough opportunity to score, instead of them abandoning this amazing sport and spending their days at office in a hope to get wealthy by their economic skills one day.
True. Basic research can takes years to yield anything useful. However, basic research is also relatively low cost compared to the cost of say, running a clinical trial.

A single phase 3 clinical trial can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. You can fund a lot of basic research for that kind of money.

When I was in grad school, my PI got grants of ~$2M a year and that supported a lab of ~10 researchers.
Well, corporate research money may be drying up, so now the public is being asked to fund it (at least in California). There's a $5.5 billion bond initiative (Proposition 14) on the ballot for 2020.

> The Hydrostor facility can keep up to 10 megawatts of power, enough to keep the lights on in about 2,000 homes, or approximately half the town of Goderich for about five hours.

Megawatts instantaneous power, but the sentence wording makes it sound like capacity. That's how much energy it can supply at any moment vs how big the battery is.

And they talk about X number of homes for Y hours. Did they mean 10 megawatt-hours? Or did they mean 10 megawatts for 4 hours? That's 40 megawatt-hours or MWh.

Judging from this other site, it is 1.75 MW max and a capacity of 10 MWh. Which means someone messed up units in the article. Possibly even they read "MWh" from a technical summary and just guessed it meant megawatts. Because they spelled it out in the article.

More details -

Is this real?
Yeah! Listen to them admit to the bug on tape here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNI2kVAyEQ4

How do I use the extension?
Install it, pin it, then follow these instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k2YYlb21N8

I've been cheated. What can I do?
The extension has instructions: call UberEats support (for me, the number is 800-253-9435 - check the app for your number). Ask for a supervisor. Email support and first-line phone support _cannot_ help you. The supervisor can. Explain the problem, be relentless, and you'll get a payment adjustment. Do this for every transaction you've been cheated on.

That's a lot of effort for a few dollars
You're right - it's not realistic to expect everyone who has cheated to call Uber and spend 30 minutes on the phone to get a few dollars back. Worry not - I anonymously track how much each person has been cheated on each transaction. If there are thousands and thousands of people who have been cheated, and I can prove it with data, there might be bigger action we can collectively take.

What next?
Uber can block this app at any time. They can prevent me from checking the GPS coordinates of the pickup/dropoff location, and once they do that, this extension is forever dead. Nothing I can do. So please download it ASAP so we can find out the extent of their cheating before they block the extension!
A couple hours of standing at the actual door, picking is not comparable to surreptitiously snapping a few seconds of audio and doing all the work elsewhere, then showing up with four or five possible keys, one of which works.

Claiming any data as unbiased seems illogical to me, note how they are constantly revised.
