Anecdotally, there's a large amount of people who will read a book wholly for the purpose of being able to say they've read it. Whether it's a sense of elitism, vanity or bits of both -- it's strikingly obvious when you ask deeper questions about a book and they can only respond with basic one sentences you could infer from the synopsis.

I believe the above has been amplified due to the false dichotomy of information technology vs good ol' books.
They likely already have commercial dishwashers. Maybe there’s a machine that can do high-temperature cleaning of laminated menus with minimal labor, but I doubt it’s cheap.
This entirely depends on individual's perspective.

As Chris mentioned, this is exactly what Big Corp™ wants. They'll be the ones buying it too, and would likely pay extra for such a feature. They're the target market for these vendors.

Thus, sure, for those looking to buy second hand, this is indeed advertising irreparable damage. But for Big Corp™, this is advertising security (in my opinion quite rightly so), and ensuring their data isn't stolen.

> Everyone else in the thread is referring to chattel slavery when they use the word "slavery"

And here I thought everyone was referring to an American practice analogous to the Chinese state forced labor of those who have been deemed harmful to society; while chattel slavery is, I suppose, loosely analogous there, I'd say penal slavery is actually a closer analogy.

For the youngsters, Reveal Codes would show in reverse text, things like "[Boldface On]". As you were pressing your cursor past it, that would be considered a single character. You could copy, paste, or delete it. It would be as if <b> were a single character that you could manipulate.
> Are we putting a contract on reproductive promise for markets?

There are no contracts stating the the companies in the S&P 500 must perform enough in the future to support the current market cap of the index, but still the index is where it is.

The market is forward looking, and children are implicit in that valuation.

The rest of your post, again, seem to sidestep that argument.

As a Westerner who travels to Pakistan once in a while, of the three biggest cities (Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad), Karachi seems like an outlier in terms of corruption, even for Pakistan, with entrenched mafia rule. I don't know the reasons this is so in Karachi, perhaps as the port city smuggling is big there.

In terms of infrastructure, Karachi also seems different as you said, with lots of apartment buildings, where other cities like Lahore is almost exclusively villas, so density will be higher with more strain on infrastructure.

A very interesting development is the premiership of Imran Khan who is politically independent (excluding being beholden to the military as is all political leaders) and genuinely making a big effort in fighting corruption. It will be interesting to see how much he can accomplish.

Both solutions present heavy machinery, presumably aimed at big industrial installations.

How about home use? Could it be used small-scale, e.g. as an alternative to Tesla's PowerPack? I've long been curious about distributed energy solutions, from heating (e.g. cogeneration / CHP, heat pumps, geothermal energy, solar+battery for off-grid energy), could this be a low-cost, low-tech, low-maintenance, low-risk alternative to batteries?

Interesting stuff. One question:

> After a few years, there’s no distinguishing between a child whose performance was improved (or worsened) by daycare and one who did not go to daycare.

Is this potentially because most schools are aimed at "middle of the road" kids, kids who come in with more experience / skills / knowledge spend a couple of years just reviewing and waiting for the other kids to catch up?

Not arguing against the findings, just trying to explore alternate hypotheses.

>Overclocking can cause harm (worse battery life, excessive heat).

How is that different from increasing the maximum acceleration of a car? Worse battery life and excessive heat. It is entirely possible that people think Tesla is greedy instead of Tesla choosing one trade off at the expense of another in software.

Tesla's more expensive models often share the same battery and motor but they tend to push the hardware closer to its limits which also results in higher wear and tear. High performance cars usually need more frequent maintenance. It is entirely possible that warranty on the cheaper model is longer than on the higher end model and by installing the upgrade Tesla can no longer guarantee that longer warranty or any warranty at all.

> Apple has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act due to having a monopoly on Apple services?

Sort of. There are two possible avenues of attack here against Apple. And it depends on how the market is defined.

1: if the "market" is defined as you have, which is a "monopoly on apple services", then it absolutely true that Apple does have a monopoly on the specific market as defined by "Apple services", and I would accept 10 to 1 betting odds on that.

BUT, I think it is a bit of a stretch that the "market" will be defined that narrowly. Instead I think that the market will be defined as the smartphone market share of the USA.

2: If the market is defined as the smartphone market, in the USA, then the argument will be that Apple has control of ~50% of the market, in a 2 entity duopoly. It is a common misconception, that anti-trust law only applies in cases, of a overwhelming singular monopoly. Instead, anti-trust law, applies even in cases where there is not a singular monopoly, and the company in question only has significant market power.

Controlling 50% of the market share, is a bit on the edge of whether anti-trust law applies, or does not apply, as according to government guidance. So the case is far from a slam dunk, and I think that there will be interesting arguments brought up in court.

But, even though Apple has less market share than, say Microsoft did, when Microsoft lost their anti-trust case, I think that Apple's actions are significantly more restrictive than Microsoft's was, and thus this contributing factor will push them over the edge into losing the case.

I expect that this case will be a landmark case, that will determine future court actions, and will be even more significant than the microsoft case was.

I understand that when enough people do not have children the human race will disappear. Civilization might disappear before then. I'm not talking about that. I'm also not talking about people having children or not. I'm arguing for people to assume responsibility for their choices(whatever the choice may be) and to not go "Oh, I really didn't have a choice in the matter".

I especially dislike it when people present their choice as a sacrifice for humanity. Another poster put it better:

> People can have children without congratulating themselves for a sacrifice well delivered ... Kinship for species only extends so far and not much at all when there is parental entitlement.

Current versions of the traditional LWR design can ramp at about 5% of full power per minute, which is about the same ramping rate as a CCGT plant. With steam bypass it's possible to ramp even faster.

Demand response, frequently promoted as a way to increase penetration of intermittent renewables, can also be used to reduce the cost of a system composed on high capital cost, low marginal cost dispatchable generators like nuclear. Charge the EV's and run heat pumps to warm thermal storages during the night when demand is lower, say.
Where does this 2.1 number come from?

[..] The single most important factor in population growth is the total fertility rate (TFR). If, on average, women give birth to 2.1 children and these children survive to the age of 15, any given woman will have replaced herself and her partner upon death. A TFR of 2.1 is known as the replacement rate.[..]

In other words, if a woman has 2.1 children, she can replace herself and her partner. Even halving this number will not result in ‘the disappearance of society’. There will be a dip in population.

Which is actually desirable because we are at 8 billion and our resources are fast depleting as we are in the midst of the sixth extinction event.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-replacement_fertility

[..] Sub-replacement fertility does not automatically translate into a population decline because of increasing life expectancy and population momentum: recently high fertility rates produce a disproportionately young population, and younger populations have higher birth rates. This is why some nations with sub-replacement fertility still have a growing population, because a relatively large fraction of their population are still of child-bearing age. But if the fertility trend is sustained (and not compensated by immigration), it results in population ageing and/or population decline. This is already happening and impacts first most of the countries of Europe and East Asia.[..]

[..] Some governments, fearful of a future pensions crisis, have developed natalist policies to attempt to encourage more women to have children. Measures include increasing tax allowances for working parents, improving child-care provision, reducing working hours/weekend working in female-dominated professions such as healthcare and a stricter enforcement of anti-discrimination measures to prevent professional women's promotion prospects being hindered when they take time off work to care for children. Over recent years, the fertility rate has increased to around 2.0 in France and 1.9 in Britain and some other northern European countries, but the role of population policies in these trends is debated.[52] In Italy, for example, natalist policies may have actually discouraged the Italian population from having more children. This "widespread resistance" was the result of the Italian government, at one point,[when?] taxing single persons and criminalizing abortion and even contraception.[53][..]

As a female, I am disgusted by how women’s bodies and reproductive ability is being commoditised. Natalist economic policies are akin to forcing them into flesh trade.

And then there is religion. I don’t want to risk a aneurysm and will refrain from that commentary.

Is there any evidence of this stuff?

I googled one of the examples given. This seems to be the most substantial reporting: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/06/the-newest...

> In June 2016, Mr. Kareem was at the location of four different aerial attacks. The first and fourth incidents involved strikes to the OGN office in Idlib City when Mr. Kareem was inside the office. The second attack occurred in the town of Hariyataan while Mr. Kareem was there conducting an interview. The strike hit the exact location where Mr. Kareem was setting up for the interview, but at the time of the strike he had climbed a nearby hill to “view destroyed homes a street away.”

> The third attack occurred when the vehicle in which Mr. Kareem and his staff were traveling was “struck and destroyed by a drone-launched Hellfire missile.” At the time of the strike, Mr. Kareem was sitting in a different, nearby vehicle which was “hurled into the air by the force of the blast” and “flipped upside down.” In August 2016, Mr. Kareem was again the victim of an attack when he was at the Kulliyatul Midfa‘iyyah (Artillery College) to film. He and his coworkers were in his car “when there was a huge blast only yards away from the car.” The occupants survived, but all were hit by shrapnel from the blast.

> As a result of these five near-miss experiences in a three-month period, Mr. Kareem alleges upon information and belief that he was the target and that his name is included on the United States Kill List.

I can see why he might think he's on a "kill list", but at the same time, maybe the people he was meeting were the targets?

It sucks we even need to ask this question, but the OP's link makes it sound like all of this is simple fact. As an outsider, I don't think it's possible to come to an actual concrete conclusion here, which is basically what all the courts have said.
Please pardon the COVID parent in me, but... Spare time? What the fuck is that even? Mental health? Critical, but after the absolute minimum needed to stave off burn out, everything is diverted to minimizing the long term damage to my kids (especially those with special needs).

So far I haven't been asked for ID on any account, since my fake account is quite well connected with other (fake) accounts.

On certain pertinent internet forums you will find threads regularly where people are connecting with other's made-up accounts.

They're pretty much indistinguishable from real accounts, so unless Facebook starts implementing an ID requirement for all accounts, they'll never be able to stop this.

And even then determined people could be sending in fake IDs.

My recommendation for creating a fake account is, once you have seeded it with a few friends, just add most people facebook recommends you. Plenty of real people (the 900 friends facebook addicts) do this as well.
It’s like an EEPROM that holds major version numbers and debug configurations. If fuse says “major version:20 allow debug: no, allow unsigned: no” and updater is for version 17->18, the user is trying to force a downgrade on a production board. Usually the updater refuses to continue and kernel do the same upon boot. Updater itself is signed and verified so checks are supposed impossible to bypass.

I believe Xbox 360 one was rewritable while Switch one is not. They also require higher voltages than rest of CPU to write. So modders used to modify PCB to block writes or tried to write old values. For Switch they had unrelated nonupdatable boot exploits to bypass signature checks for early batches.
The worst one I see on a regular basis is the belief that because TCP is "reliable" that the other end going away will be detected promptly.

For all intents and purposes you have to assume that calling send() or recv() on a TCP socket will block indefinitely. Apply your own timeouts and, if applicable, a heartbeating and acknowledgement/recovery mechanism.

Another one I see is that people forget that the TCP network stack has (dynamic) buffering, with all the latency and loss issues that can incur.

Well, it all depends on what you think the purpose of an economic system is. Perhaps you'd just let the mortgage market blow up, if your only concern on this Earth was to know exactly what the market price of an asset was. But you'll have to explain to me how you think the distortions are the product of Federal Reserve and government policy, since I am not following whatever you're alluding to. The distortions I see are inherent and inevitable products of the economic system we currently have, not the product of any specific policy. In fact, these distortions seem to be the product of an absence of an adequate policy to alleviate them.

The amount of risk depends upon where a person lives. I am in a part of the world that acted aggressively early and got the spread under control. The only real concern is that someone from outside of the region will import covid since we are still dependent upon trade and some people don't like playing by the rules, while people within the region are getting a bit complacent should that happen.

Even assigning one child care professional per household with children is impractical. That would amount to one care giver per one or two income earners in those families, while still introducing vectors for the virus to spread. It is a disproportionate amount of the workforce and would be incredibly expensive. Good child care professionals aren't working for minimum wage.
