In order of impact I noticed:

1. A condensing dryer (used to hang washed
clothes on a line and have to take them down again when dry)

2. An extra car, old station-wagon with trailer hook + trailer. It's nice that it's old and crappy so I don't care when it's getting dirty, scratched or dented, it will be decommissioned when it breaks down (used to borrow car every time we needed to transport something larger than fit in the small main car, or when we had to use trailer.)

3. A toaster (used to toast my bread in the oven which is both slow and energy efficient)

4. An electric kettle (used to boil water in a pot when we lived a place where gas was practically free)

5. A standalone freezer (used to have only a small one builtin to the fridge, with room for maybe 5 frozen pizzas)

6. Good powered studio monitors along with a XLR usb dac, I use them for general-purpose listening, love them. (Used to use headphones)

7. Coffee maker (used to either boil water and do slow pour-over or use instant which is expensive and not as yummy as an espresso)

9. USB Switch, for switching between the computers under my table, along with a monitor with multiple inputs, (used to switch cables around)

10. The long IKEA USB-C charging cables + 3 outlet chargers. (used to move smaller chargers+cables around the house, now there's charging spots in bedroom and in the livingroom, and the cables are long enough that we can sit comfortably and use our phones while charging).
Food in other countries is so much better and cheaper. We stayed in Mexico for a few months (not saying I want to live there) and food was all organic and dollars. A bag of about 15 avocados cost $1-$2 dollars. In the US that will buy you maybe one avocado.

Dozen eggs = $5-$8
Bag of apples = $5

We have some food allergies such as sensitive to gluten (wife is celiac).

Two things broken in US (that are pain points for us now) - food cost and healthcare. I pay about $800 month for healthcare that is essentially a safety net for an accident ($5K deductible). I am not sure why universal healthcare is not viewed the same as public schools. Many people dont have children but still pay taxes for schools and education. I would probably pay less than $800/month in extra taxes for healthcare.
The Inside Scoop of Ben and Jerry's
What kind of fertilizer though? I believe this article mentions using manure and organic fertilizers.

I'm no expert, but you cannot maintain a healthy soil without putting stuff back in it - manure, biomass / mulch, etc.

Anecdotal and incomparable, but my backyard (just a few m2 of exposed soil) has had an overhaul in the past year or two; it was very sandy and kinda boring, but mixing in mulch / soil improver made it a lot better. There's worms in the soil now, that kinda thing.

But yeah, you need some kind of fertilizer or the soil will just 'die'. Leave the clippings after harvesting, yeet a load of other biomass on there in between harvests, let it lie fallow, etc.

But I think an issue is that biomass in whatever form is actually quite difficult to get in significant quantities, or hard to balance, so artificial fertilizer is used instead.
IIRC the main limitation is the power supplies. They're failing slowly and they need to keep turning off instruments to allow it to keep running.

I believe it's expected that they'll need to pretty much turn off all of the instruments in the next 5 years, and after that it can run it's comms a bit longer but nothing else.

Edit: found an FAQ page from JPL about the Voyagers:

https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/frequently-asked-questions/

It looks like this year they need to start shutting down instruments more aggressively, expect to be able to run at least once instrument until 2025, and then there's a possibility of the voyagers staying contactable until 2036 with no instruments running.
I don't spend 2k, but a US data point-

1lb of rice: 0.89$
1lb of rolled oats: 0.69$
1lb Cherry tomatoes: $4
(Quality) chicken breast: $8

In other words they sound similar. However, there's a shop downtown that sells all the same things for 30% more.

I suspect people with crazy food bills are:

1) in exceptionally expensive locations like SF or Switzerland
2) buy more packaged food
3) eat out more than you
4) maybe are taller than you

In regards to the last, I swear my (short) friends eat half what my (tall) family does.

I am often reminded of this anecdote:

> how great minds answer these "simple" questions can be quite interesting

Yes for sure. But rather than directly ask the naive question which we simple listeners want to ask, I want a smart interviewer to give us some quick signposts about schools of thought on this and where the interviewee probably comes from given what they've said in the past. Then you can get a deeper answer. Even, perhaps especially, when they disagree with the way in which the interviewer has framed the question.

Your very comment espouses everything wromg with this. You feel it's important, so it must be.

Then you use the derogatory term 'snowflake', only you twist its meaning to call out people for not bowing to your whims, to me you are the one thinking they are special, and are too much a 'snowflake' to see the other side of the argument.

There is a huge difference between giving and taking offense.
Apple's Perplexing Verizon Promotion
I store my resume in XML and use XSLT to generate an html version and Python to generate a plain text version. I made it about 10 years ago after I learned XSLT for a project at work. I feel secure in knowing that the XSLT code I wrote will never become obsolete, as compared to the Python script I wrote which will eventually become harder to run as Python 2 is phased out. The biggest disadvantage is that I haven’t done any XSLT work in 10 years so I need to relearn it every time the script needs modification.

The quine introduces a few concepts I've not yet seen before, and I always appreciate deep-dives into the (very) sloppy and forgiving parsing that browsers do to forgive the developer's perceived mistakes. One can argue, quite convincingly, that this was a bad idea™ and should never have been done; given that we can't break web backcompat, it's here forever, to live alongside all the sloppy coercion hacks and "did you mean?"s living in PHP & JS.

I just refuse to listen to a three hour podcast. I have a one hour limit, and even then I have my finger on the skip button.

See that’s the thing, the denial is being packaged as the whole thing (especially the possibly incriminating bits) being fabricated rather than only the meta story.

I think the lack of denial from the campaign (as well as taking the candidate off the campaign trail for days) is a strong indicator the contents are not fabricated.
HTML by itself can't receive input or create output. It is input/output. It can't run or be executed. It doesn't transform state or even have state. It's not Turing complete.

See, what I find interesting is that even before it was a reality (in the public sphere), this was one of the main justificatons being used in the smoke filled backrooms for the turning on of the total surveillance system. The end of the nation state threat actor and the beginning of single-actors being able to do just as much damage if they wanted. Hence, they want to track everything and everyone in the hopes that at a minimum they can "walk the cat back", but things are headed for predictive analytics which have all kinds of dangers/downsides.

I don't agree with it, but understanding that is the position many of the machiavellian natsec experts are coming from really helps in having more productive conversations.

Again, based on what evidence? If you ask about specific Sanders' policies, routinely more than half of Americans agree with them (like universal healthcare, green new deal, economic support in dealing with COVID,...). So I think this new platform could have large support - except people are worried that nobody would vote for it. (But the problems with American voting system go far beyond that - voter suppression, gerrymandering, delegates, bribery of the supreme court; the whole system can only be considered democratic under a very antiquated definition.)

In the 2nd sentence, you're assuming exactly the conditions of the two party system. In Europe, new parties (like Greens or Pirates) were successfully able to bring new issues to the traditional political divide.
I purchased 6 sets of cheap headphones so I could keep them in all my backpacks/bags/around the house. Anytime I forget to bring headphones to listen to my iPod, I know I have an extra set in my backpack.

I purchased 10 USB chargers that attach magnetically. I keep 2 at the office, 1 in my gaming console, 1 in my computer, 2 in my car, 1 in the wall with an adapter next to my bed and have the other 3 set aside. The metal connectors wear out after a year or two of constant use. I recommend getting the 360 degree ones. I also bought two 3m USB extenders so I can plug in my console peripherals from where I sit while gaming. One for now, one for later just in case. Overall cost of this was ~$60 but it's some of the best money I've ever spent. The convenience is incredible and since all the adapters are the same, they work with all my devices as long as they're not being connected for data transfer reasons.

The best thing I've ever bought that has improved my life, has been an "extra" of anything I find myself using frequently.
Neither example seem to fully apply to my example, for example you did not layout how the online class is viable post Section 230 and the second example does seems to apply to small time actors like the small, volunteer(clarification), conference in my example. If you want to focus on one and elaborate I am willing to follow up.

I have not used the word impossible or implied it. I have said the change would throw out "a considerable amount of value" and I have talked about value generating venues having to shut down.

Right, I am not sure the limiting factor here is our ability to send or interpret the received signals. I think the limiting factor that is most impactful is the probe itself.

Eventually, its power source will die out, its components will fail, or enough cosmic rays or debris will corrupt enough of its systems it can no longer transmit.

Given those factors, I do wonder what the expected lifetime of the probe is, with the power source being the most clear "game over" line.
In Switzerland we have the equivalent called "Generalabonnament" (GA), which is quite a common thing for people to have. It's steep in price, but often time it evens out pretty quickly if you travel by train often - I have my GA since my apprenticeship about ten years ago. I looooove it, just a bit sad that during Covid train travels weren't possible as much.

To be sure, shield it from any form of radiation (neutrons, gamma rays, etc.), too. Even getting a single bit “there’s a mate in less than 7 moves” to a player could be (possibly rarely) useful, as it would direct a player’s search for a move and/or have them commit more time looking for a move.
Maize ends up being one of the most economically efficient and calorically dense crops to grow. If you have very little money to invest in your land, it's definitely one of your best choices. We're trying to get farmers a bit more capital access to be able to move to more productive systems, but if you don't have an extra 50$ for fertilizer, you definitely are going to struggle to switch to potatoes.

Yeah, every one of us has their own prior (in this case, on how likely it is that big corp is at fault versus a small business owner is at fault). We then update our priors based on our interpretation of available information.

Both of these steps are highly subjective. Especially the choice of the priors, since they are based on years of unique personal experiences and personal analysis of those experiences.

I would never attempt to change or challenge anyone's prior. I don't know whether human civilization will some day develop a way for people to converge to similar priors, but it's certainly not happening this century, so it won't be relevant to me.
Bird flu doesn't seem like an important environmental consequence which is what you two are discussing.
Just because it only has x1 lanes doesn't mean you can't put an x16 card in it it just means it'll only run at x1 when you do. Same story as why the x4 NVMe drive worked when attached to the x1 slot.

As far as the physical you can either get a riser or just Dremel the plastic back stop off (though you'd still need to figure out physical support for a larger device). Many short PCIe slots come with an open back out of the box just for this purpose, I'm surprised the Pi (for all it's hacking purpose) doesn't. Power is also going to be another thing, PCIe is supposed to provide up to 75 Watts. There are solutions for this as well, particularly if you went with a "bitcoin mining" type riser in the earlier step.

The bigger problem is that they're powered by an RTG, which will soon cease to produce enough power to run the probes. They expect to start shutting down some of the few instruments still running next year, no longer have any power available for science around 2025, and run out of enough power to do radio transmission around 2030.

If the probes still had enough power by then, the current DSN would be able to receive data until the mid-2030's.
At this point I'm pretty sure we'll actively destroy most other species and irreversibly pollute the environment which will render it not hospitable for us to live.

If that is true, then my guess is that the only viable solution is to develop Humanity 2.0. Species that are much better adapted to survive the new environmental challenges and also have the ability to modify and improve themselves faster than natural genotype based fitness.

Perhaps technological singularity is our only chance. Does anyone else think in a similar fashion?

That doesn't change the fact that alternative stores (which exist on many devices) are allowed to install all packages and autoupdate them.

> And multiple competing and interoperable implementations should be seen as a good thing in my opinion.

How is that a good thing? We all understand and agree how IPv4 and IPv6 works (mostly), and how HTTP works, and how (mostly) the networking layer works.

Introducing more competing standards leads to a complete mess, have you seen USB lately? USB-4 and its optional components, USB 4 gen 2x2 and USB 4 Gen 3X2 but there's also USB 4 Gen 3x1 and Gen 3x2 as well as 3x3 and 3x4, except I am lying about the last two, or maybe the first two? I can't remember the standards are confusing.

Oh, that USB-C cable bricked your Nintendo Switch? Oh the Raspberry PI screwed up their type-c implementation?

Yup, competing standards are amazing, especially when they compete with themselves!

I agree with what you're saying partially, but at times you do need someone who can make a decision and be the decider of how things work.

Do you really think you could type in this textarea today without people deciding that? I am sure of the 100's of processes involved in using a computer, writing in this text area, clicking "post" (http, browser, the OS, kernel, drivers, even electricity itself, ISPs, etc etc) somebody made a decision and that was that.

Mostly because they got away with it when it came to Russiagate, and the fact that they were never held to account for the lies and half-truths (and many people still pushing them), precedent has been set that they can cudgel the public with that thing.

Received radio power decreases as the square of the distance. If the repeater started now, to be useful it would have to be similarly large to the big radio telescopes used to receive the signal. It would need to have the same speed as the probe it was following to keep up the signal. But the Voyagers each were massively accelerated by their giant planet encounters. Launching a much-more-massive repeater at much higher initial velocity than the original probes is nonsensical.
In Japan it seems this is how farmers work, on very small lots.
