I'm aware of that, haha, I live nowadays right by the 60N latitude (Stockholm, Sweden) and came from Brazil at around 23S, I've experienced both types of sunsets and I'd say I find the ones at higher latitudes to be much more spectacular than the short ones closer to the equator.

So let's say a trip onboard a 787 around the +-60 latitude during spring/fall equinox is completely doable for chasing the sunset :)
That's been the experience I've had as well. One company I worked for around 2015 had 5 or 6 mainframes (which they kept upgraded to the latest hardware on an IBM lease program every few years), and it was well understood that the number of distributed computing servers required to keep up with the volume and resiliency of the mainframe would be too great to even consider.

Another company I interviewed with did just what you said, they built REST APIs and other "modern" interfaces to the mainframes so that 99% of app developers in the company don't have to learn anything about the mainframe.

The following is mostly speculation. I don't really know the inner workings of the Reddit business model.

Businesses that rely on advertising revenue will always seek optimal channels for peoples attention. The mobile app gives them two very import things:

1. Push notifications. Push notifications give companies the ability to advertise to you without you even visiting their website. Also, it allows them to piggyback on the Pavlovian response that has been conditioned in your brain by smart phone companies. Essentially this allows them to "mainline" their product into your brain. Just woke up? McDonalds breakfast PN. End of a long day of work? PN from reddit to remind you to binge their content for your entire evening.

2. People can't run adblock on mobile applications. Even if that only accounts for 10% of it's users, it's still a huge increase in ad revenue.
Robust T cell immunity in convalescent individuals with asymptomatic Covid-19
> SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells will likely prove critical for long-term immune protection against COVID-19. We here systematically mapped the functional and phenotypic landscape of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in unexposed individuals, exposed family members, and individuals with acute or convalescent COVID-19. Acute phase SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells displayed a highly activated cytotoxic phenotype that correlated with various clinical markers of disease severity, whereas convalescent phase SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were polyfunctional and displayed a stem-like memory phenotype. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were detectable in antibody-seronegative exposed family members and convalescent individuals with a history of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19. Our collective dataset shows that SARS-CoV-2 elicits robust, broad and highly functional memory T cell responses, suggesting that natural exposure or infection may prevent recurrent episodes of severe COVID-19.
Price of something in a competitive environment is equal to cost of it's production. What is the cost of production of services? It's the cost of living of a person performing those services.

Price has nothing to do with a vague concept of 'value'.
For some more background, I've been working in the industry for 10 years. In the past imposter syndrome was a barrier but there was interesting work and I got regular feedback from my team that made me feel included. It's only recently that I've become apathetic and withdrawn from giving my opinions.
I vaguely recall hearing of this from a different field of study.

The article touches on the importance of YouTube’s discovery a bit but doesn’t do justice to just how strong it can be.

Multimillion dollar businesses are built based on just the discovery feature.

From the article:

> “If you do run a YouTube channel with any type of significant viewership, I highly recommend backing up your videos, in the event you may need to self-host your content in the future.”

Sure, backups are good but anyone with significant viewership should make sure they promote their other web assets to diversify.

Getting people subscribed to your YouTube channel is #1 priority. Getting them subscribed to your email list or to follow you on another platform should be your #2 priority.

There are plenty of alternatives to YouTube for pure video hosting (Vimeo, Wistia, self hosting). There are no alternatives to YouTube for discovery.

"...reaffirmed IBM’s moral leadership by refusing to discriminate on the basis of race, resisting the prevailing attitudes of governors in the southern United States."

"[We petition you to prohibit] IBM and its employees from using any Trump owned or Trump branded properties for business purposes..."

Ugh. When did so many employees become fifth columns pushing a very narrow and minority political view? This is happening at many large companies lately.
The idea is that if we have reached herd immunity then we can all go back to work/school and forget about Covid. This is a very dangerous line of thinking, and indeed is self fulfilling - ignoring Covid will sure enough result in herd immunity (assuming we get lasting immunity - unlike the common cold coronavirus!), but at the cost of thousands of lives and serious long term health effects.
>At this point, you’re probably thinking — Finders Keepers.

No, because that's not how any of this works, even when you're a child.

It's well established that obvious mistakes are obvious mistakes and you don't get to profit from them. Brigade either had a very dumb lawyer or they were having a really bad cash-flow problem and wanted this money to cover their issues...

This is a very close-minded view. Professionals with psychological and/or therapeutic training can offer insights that you don’t have.

Would you refuse to work with a trainer if you were trying to improve at a physical activity? Would you reject a professional mentor in your field if it was on offer? Would you refute a doctor’s care if your physical health were impaired?

Also, it’s strange to refer to women as “females”, or treat all women as interchangeable, unless you run a crooked bar on a space station.
Can I encode video to one format, like webm, and only serve this format without reendocing specifically for a client? Force all clients to watch only in resolutions in which the file is available on disk? It would deduct CPU/GPU time and only need to get storage and network, which isn't that expensive. I have a few dedicated kimsufi servers that are under-utilized.

You sound like the people against student loan reform because “I had to pay mine back, why shouldn’t they”. That’s peak entitlement, demanding others suffer because you did.
I built a game in the Flash days called Stunt Pilot, which happened to sit at #1 on HN the day of its release way back in 2007. Though that's way less of an achievement than it would be today!

You played a stunt plane that would fly through hoops and around obstacles. The game featured a lite physics destruction model where if you made a mistake it would blow to pieces and tear down whatever you ran in to. Not as part of the gameplay, but in order to make your inevitable mistakes more entertaining. It featured user editable replays and a level editor, so people could post and rate content. I guess you know where this is going...

Probably 50% of the levels and replays turned out to be something along the lines of "9/11 simulator". I culled it manually as best I could and eventually turned it off. I found it pretty funny how much of a cesspit user generated content turned out to be (in the same way that you'd laugh at 4chan), though I do wish I spent the many weeks rolling it out on something else.

IBM should try, everyone should try.

But on the same side people just can't believe that the middle management and/or line level people responsible for some of these decisions are being malicious.
discovery is really a function of having all the content, so yes you cannot assail the function of having all the content until you have a significant amount of content.
Source code access, and being free of charge seems to be the main things you would get compared to 1Password. Also, great Linux support (from what I've heard 1Password only recently even added a Linux-compatible client).

But to me it sounds like you have a solution you are very happy with, and you don't mind paying for that solution, so my recommendation would be to stick with it.

Although, as a happy user of KeePassXC, I'm tempted to ask the counter-question: why would I want to pay for 1Password when KeePassXC gives me a great solution for free (and also gives me source code access)?
What would be the repercussions if you still do? Assume the website is hosted in some banana republic...
The website is user-hostile; if you accept the Advertisements it attempts to set a cookie which the Firefox tracking protection layer won't allow to happen, resulting in an error and no article access.
It's unix philosophy alright, but it's the other unix philosophy -- worse is better. tar has a poorly designed base format with lots of incompatible extensions, but for most people most of the time it works fine. So why change?

I had to switch to keychain because the safari extension stopped working.
I do this for a living and if there is one thing that I have found it is that due to COVID-19 on-site visits are no longer an option (especially not internationally) and this has caused us to be blind to certain classes of problems. It is a lot of work to get around that remotely and to not have a drop in quality because of that. We are at least aware of the problem but even then this is a tricky thing to solve. When looking through a keyhole you can get a completely different view of a company than the one you get when you spend a day on their premises.

This reminds me of a story. A friend of mine once had a significant amount of money (several thousand euro) deposited into his account accidentally. Being a bit of a shyster he left it alone for several months but eventually started spending it.

Some years later he got several phone calls from his bank all in a very short period of time. His luck ran out. Apparently what had happened is that he'd been in the bank having something changed on his account, the next person came in to deposit money but the teller failed to change the account.

In the end they arranged a very low interest loan for him to pay back the money over time, so in the end he probably came out ahead.

anecdotally youtube seems to have aggressively increased the number of ads just in the last few weeks or so

i see ads on almost all videos i watch now, there are two ads before the video (the first one i can’t skip at all, the second i can sometimes skip after a few seconds), and then some videos have more ads at different points in the actual video that show up out of nowhere.

and then there’s the search ads that take up the entire mobile interface plus ads beneath the video

given i’ve mostly been using youtube for recipes lately and skip around the video a lot the experience is like being forced watching 30 seconds of ads for every 5 minutes of content.

it’s completely completely unbearable
As a parent, I couldn't care less about social classes - I care about my child having a joyful and loving childhood. I don't want my child to be a number in a statistic that both the teachers and classmates spit on, like I was.

In my own case, putting me in special needs education (I tried) would do much more harm than good, and would not provide in any way the good experiences alternative schooling could have (sadly that didn't work out for me too).

Some kids thrive in homeschooling, some kids thrive in special needs education, some kids thrive in small group schooling, some kids thrive in democratic schools, etc, this is not a simple normal vs special needs question, and you can't say that homeschooling does not work - it works for the right individuals, and these children don't need to have anything to do with the children that need something else (as long as we don't socialize their education, of course).

Sometimes the kind of school is right but that particular one does not work and you need to put the child in a different but alike school - often impossible in socialized systems (where school is usually assigned based on residence location).

I think it's incredibly sad that we have hard science on each child being an individual with vastly differing needs, hard science on the outsized influence of childhood on later life, and yet we force children into either normal or special needs school and suppress competition and new ideas in the name of class struggle.

These people believe that men and women are identical (except for socialisation), and so any less than 51% representation is under-representation and evidence of sexism.
Is that FF tracking protection turned on by default?
So in those 50% antibody areas in this unethical experiment we gain the knowledge, if herd immunity is possible, I guess. Or - if it's like the flu - USA just gradually weeds out everyone that can't handle this specific disease while still rotating seasonal waves for everyone else.
just like the auditors!
> What are the "obvious limitations"? There are many problems with today's industrialized agriculture, but I wouldn't call the limitations obvious. The article says it doesn't work well in Africa for instance, and I believe it, but isn't it just because we don't have the proper GMOs/fertilizers/pesticides for this kind of soil due to a lack of interest? Is there some "obvious limitation" that makes it impossible.

Basically pollution, resource destruction, and expense; from the OP:

> But today, the downsides of that kind of farming are becoming all too painful. Excess nitrogen fertilizer runs down watersheds to create vast dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere around the world. The rich soils of the U.S. Midwest or Ukraine, grown over thousands of years by billions of grazing animals, are almost gone, damaged by relentless plowing, blown away by the wind or washed away by storms.

> Everywhere, farmland is becoming increasingly acidic, demanding additional liming. Vast monoculture plantations act like an open bar to pests and diseases, forcing farmers to spend more and more on pesticides. Aquifers are being sucked dry, raising the cost of irrigation as new wells must be dug ever deeper. Industrial farming is engaged in a vicious circle of ever more inputs at ever greater expense to try to keep up with the challenges it creates.

> And often, it fails. About a third of the planet’s farmland has already been abandoned because of soil degradation.
Thanks for finding that. A 1m wave height limit makes it basically useless in the North Pacific.
He also achieved the highest black unemployment rating under his administration. That does not seem like something a racist would do. This is why no one is buying this narrative.
I agree with everything but strongy discourage you from trying out Arch. It's easy if you've done it before but coming from MacOS and being used to everything working (which already in Linux is not the case haha), something Debian based like Ubuntu is better... (Or Pop OS imo since it's just like Ubuntu but better...)
Sure, my comment wasn't great. Was just surprised by the chef thing since it seemed like a non sequitur.

Maybe it depends on the peers near you and when you watch. I tried to play a video on the OP's website, it played immediately at 1080p without any stutter.
Pick whatever gender and/or race you like. That's just the most commonly used example.

My point is just as in there have been and are people that are willfully malicious and ONLY hire white men/women, it seems we have a hard time accepting there will be some willfully malicious enforcement of a policy such as "we need to make an effort to hire more outside of a gender or race group".
Judging someone simply on his race. Simple example: refusing a job to someone because of this criterion. It doesn’t matter if Asian, Black, White or other, if the candidate is dismissed because of race, it’s racism.

> Yes I know the theory makes some predictions that have turned out to be correct

However, I must say that once P. Steinhardt gave a seminar in my department, and he debunked two famous "predictions" of the inflationary theory (flat universe, scalar index n_s slightly less than ne) showing that papers published in the 90s claimed that inflation predicted "naturally" an open universe with a scalar index larger than one [1]. He used this to stress the fact that inflation can predict almost everything. I must say he sounded very convincing, he wasn't claiming that inflation is false, only that it is far from being a well-established theory, and that other hypotheses must be considered as well.

In 2015 I took a contract job with a large team at Verizon because I am an old man and know both Java and COBOL. The idea was to replace COBOL code with Java. The Java ran on IBM iron that was similar to the existing COBOL system. The COBOL code consistently ran at least 3-4 times faster than the Java code, no matter what we did. I think that the bottleneck was access to the huge Verizon customer database, but even the straight Java ran slower than the equivalent COBOL.
They moved the project to another data center and I lost my job (my last job before I retired). I don't think that they ever got things going. I'm not sure that they ever will.
