I suppose you would, and I print a copy for each vehicle and do just that. So I suppose it doesn't save anything, wallet-wise, but I keep electronic cards for each vehicle just because it's probably easier to find when it's needed than digging through that black abyss of a glove box.

Fuel card I don't carry, but I can picture parent comments having a fuel card attached to their name, but they might drive a different vehicle each work day ("fleet card" tells me it's for work, not personal).
Texas is really going out of its way to suppress voting.

“Abbott in July acted to lengthen the early voting period and allow voters to deliver completed absentee ballots in person for longer than the normal period. But after large Democratic counties including Harris and Travis established several sites where voters could deliver their ballots, Abbott ordered Oct. 1 that they would be limited to one… Harris County — home to 2.4 million registered voters and spanning a greater distance than the state of Rhode Island — had designated a dozen before Abbott’s order forced them to close most sites.” [0]

Something really useful I recently discovered is multi-stage Dockerfiles. Using FROM and then COPY --from to copy from a previous stage to prevent unwanted intermediate build steps that might expose secrets or just bloat your images.

Two ways this was useful for us. Firstly, we needed a private key in the image to pull some private git repos. By doing this in a previous stage, they're not included in the final image layers. Secondly, we have a python backend and small react app served from the same image. By splitting their build steps into a backend and frontend stage, changes to frontend code don't break caching for the later backend steps or vice versa. E.g.

FROM python:3.8.3-slim-buster AS frontend
# Do frontend build steps
FROM python:3.8.3-slim-buster AS backend
# Do backend build steps
FROM python:3.8.3-slim-buster AS final
COPY --from=frontend /app /app/frontend
COPY --from=backend /app /app/backend

Ha, hilariously naïve. I still have the "Black Dragon Fallacy" written down as something that deserves a full writeup, but in short: What's the missile made of, and how does Bostrom propose that we build it?

Bostrom brings us "fine phrases and hollow rhetoric," mostly. Sure, we should do something about aging, but what, exactly, are we failing to do as a society here? He seems to think that the problem is that we're treating aging and death as inevitable, but science already has marched past that position; instead, we now know that aging is part of a tradeoff involving cancer and is closely tied to maintenance of DNA as cells reproduce in multicellular organisms.

Further, the notion of agency is hopelessly confused by the design of the fable. Humans are deliberately sending other humans to the dragon while the missile is ready to go, in the story, and Bostrom insists that we are supposed to regret this. However, when we move back through the analogy to the real world, then the way that humans send other humans to the dragon is via war. Will ending aging end war? How?

Anthropomorphizing psychopomps may have been a mistake, since it has led to Bostrom imagining that if we just collect all of the psychopomps into one really big mean dragon, and then kill the dragon, that we'll have defeated death. Easy peasy!
Still, we have little information and the rest is guesswork. Articles about Google's monorepo say that it had around 2 billion lines in 2016. Should be much higher now. And there's no chance that anyone at IBM knows how many lines of code they have.

Really great question! Two things:
1. We have found doctors to actually want to try to do the right thing for patients in this space. Oftentimes they are seeing people who have tried 10+ SSRIs and experienced mental health conditions for decades. These patients are suffering immensely and doctors want to help
2. Our software also helps streamline administrative tasks for doctors, such as scheduling, dealing with insurance, etc. So there is a financial/time-saving benefit for them as well

Every ballot I've ever filled out has had blanks for write-ins. Sometimes I've written myself in. Sometimes, I write "no confidence". Sometimes, I simply leave the provided choices blank.

It's different for referenda -- no write-in on those. But you can still leave it blank.

And nobody will know (unless you're the idiot that writes theirself in), because your ballot is secret. Turning in the ballot can be compulsory without making it compulsory to actually fill it out.

I've been a homeowner for nearly a decade now and I have to say I sympathize with you, even if for slightly different reasons, mainly the "hassle" factor. I see most of these "smart" things as just one more thing that can break.

Sure it may take a bit longer for me to initially run some wire for speakers (or cost more on a new home build), but once it's set up it is one-and-done. My stereo receivers are a little bulky, but they hide in a corner and the last forever and I don't need to debug their internet connection when I change my Wi-Fi password.

In engineering we talk about building solutions that are as simple as possible, and no simpler. Light switches and door locks are the epitome of this; adding batteries and wireless communication yields a "wow" factor at first, but I cringe at the idea of the numerous ways these can all fail now! I have enough to deal with just keeping up with maintenance on the simple stuff. I'll keep my nightly routine of manually turning off lights and locking doors, thank you.

Not to mention the fact that all of this is changing so fast. Are my HomeKit compatible devices even going to work with whatever phone/speaker/tv setup I have 10 years from now? Am I going to have to pull out all my light switches then? You know what's compatible with the human finger I expect to see at the end of my hand in 10 years? A normal freaking light switch.

I expect that by the time my kids are grown up everything will have settled on a common standard and "smart" devices will be a boring commodity product made by boring brands like GE on my boring Home Depot shelf. At that point I'll probably consider putting it in the wall. Right now I see 50 different one-off Chinese brands racing to the bottom competing with $100 top-of-the-line latest-and-greatest Apple techs and it's all just not worth the effort.

Apathy likely plays a large role.

Most people have zero clue what PRISM is, and they just don't care. They're trying to pay rent and make sure their kids are learning long division over Zoom.
> I'm not sure what there is to "get" about trans.

There are questions that are easy to answer that you have touched on such as bathrooms (just make them all solo and genderless), and decency/respect (give it to everyone, obviously).

There are also FAR more difficult questions to answer such as, how to treat the gender separation in sports and where trans fits in there “fairly”? What to do if there is post-surgery regret? Why can a person consent to a drastic and permanent gender/sex change operation (the effects of some hormones at certain ages is irreversible) while being unable to consent to sex itself? (this is not an appeal to pedophilia as much as it is one of non-hypocrisy).

Right now this studio seems to be a set of tutorials, a PDF annotation/search tool, and the common knowledge project. Seems innocuous but Google is just about the last company I trust to be involved in the journalism industry - not just because of their internal political biases but also because I simply don’t trust that big aggregator tech platforms care about making journalism thrive. I expect instead to see the industry squeezed further. Getting in bed with them isn’t a wise strategy for long term sustainable operation.
Monitoring crypto prices and fundamentals is not so bad compared with traditional finance folks having to read through hundreds of all-caps tweets to know how much value the USD will lose this month,

No, you just have to worry about how much your crypto will change in value each day. Bitcoin's value changed by over 7% in just the past month, and in the past year has dropped in value by over 20% twice. That's so much better than worrying about the fraction of a percent in the monthly deltas for USD over the past several decades.

One explanation would be some cabal or ‘the political class’ having an authoritarian agenda.

The other would be that some of the danger is real and people in power are wary of giving up tools to fight it.

This is some nice work, but doesn't really pave the way to what I'd call "practical superconductors".

Of course, the material studied here requires some of the highest pressures we can produce and so we can't deploy the technology. More importantly IMO is the fact that we were already expecting room temperature superconductors with this route. There is a theory of superconductivity which accurately describes these materials.

The more interesting materials are the unconventional superconductors which have a high transition temperature. From the side of physics, we still have no idea how they work other than something involving many body interactions. Plus with their rising Tc, they might be a route to practical superconductivity.
I want to zoom in the other direction, because in the big maps the small numbers are difficult to read.

I am sure I mean what I wrote. If someone thinks SmartScreen isn't a good solution, they should disable it. Using a different solution is independent of that.

To use your smoke detector analogy: if a smoke detector goes off twice a day and once in the middle of the night every other night, you sure as heck DO throw it out. If only because every false alarm desensitises you to actual alarms and makes your default reaction to just remove the batteries of that thing.

The real issue is that the false alarms don't necessarily come from a faulty detector, but are due to the fact that someone keeps smoking in the house or keeps burning their food all the time and then keeps telling everyone that smoking doesn't affect them negatively, because they only smoke one cigarette every other day so smoking is actually safe for everyone and that the detector is to blame for all the false alarms.

> "Don't update system packages" is bad advice. There are base Docker images with out-of-date packages that need security updates. CentOS for example doesn't update their base image for months on end.

Generally, if you want to update system packages, rebuild the container make it the new base for you. Updating with every build provides a potentially non-reproducible build.

I don't think any language that could ever be invented could be described as leaving programming students "mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration", no matter how bad it is. So either he was being hyperbolic (and the sarcasm was lost on me), or he was being shockingly dogmatic.

> automatically add a rule to open the firewall on linux

There's no way this is true. This completely defeats the purpose of a firewall.

If it is happening, then it's Docker doing this - not the linux firewall that comes stock with most distribution (iptables and the like). They would never simply add rules to the chains just because something was listening on that port.

Really, the best security advice for using Docker is to not use Docker. Unfortunately, there aren't very many "hold your hand" alternatives available. Aside from LXD and that family of technologies, which are criminally underused.
It's a good rule of thumb, but that doesn't check out in practice.

The wireless charging mechanism, while solid state, generates a lot of heat, which has the potential to degrade the battery especially in certain climates.
I think the internet age has changed this. The pure cost to offer customer service is insane for the costs users are paying. If you want good customer service you're going to have to pay for it, but the market has shown that's not going to be a option, because not enough people are willing to pay for it.

Great customer service used to be a differentiator, but for many services, cost is way more important, and customers are willing to pay.
I could see the benefit of creating many forms or ones that frequently updated.
Escaping Restricted Linux Shell
I think this varies a lot, depending on town, gender, area of country, what college you're trying to get in, etc. Also, if everybody is not getting to do their sports, it's not as if that puts you at a disadvantage in regards getting into college.

Not that this would be the impact on kids' mental health, anyway, that would depend on whether they found sports to be satisfying and rewarding, or just one more stressful opportunity to be declared a failure. That, in turn, probably depends on the parents and the coaches.
Exciting and fun? If you're a sociopath.
So you claim is they're trying to create "lock-in".

That has a specific meaning whereby they prevent customers from leaving, somehow, but forcing everyone onto their platform.

As far as I can tell, the basis for this claim is that somehow the "jamstack" label is so valuable that people will be "forced" to work with Netlify so they can enjoy the privilege of using that trademarked term, but you'll forgive me if I find that to be a pretty weak basis upon which to levy such a strong claim.

Ultimately, again, this is just an architectural pattern and a bunch of open standards. Netlify is absolutely guilty of hyping the holy heck out of this thing as though it's the silver bullet that'll solve all of the world's problems. And sure, maybe they're trying to build a brand around it.

But I fail to see how any of this is so nefarious as to qualify as attempted "lock-in".
Sure, but there's middle ground.

The ideal would be for the people actually running the show to be able (and willing) to decide, "We've got enough material in us for two more seasons, then we're done. We want to wrap it up there." and the network/Netflix suits to say "OK, then you get two more seasons. Make 'em great."

Very slightly less ideal would be for decisions about whether there will be, for instance, a season 4 to be made at the beginning of season 3, so that the writers can design season 3 to be a final season and wrap up loose plot threads.
Hmm. I’ll start watching things after season 1. A lot of times, season n + 1 will recap the story so far and try to get new viewers in.

Maybe the statistics bear out that season n + 1 has audience <= season n, but I don’t really think that way at all

Also, why haven’t malignant melanoma rates gone down as sunscreen adoption has increased?

I'm imagining if superconductors become widely used it will be in small quantities and for their unique properties that cannot be achieved otherwise. Not for minor benefits over alternatives?
