1. I think you're mistaking marriage for a wedding. The wedding is the expensive ceremony (and studies show the more expensive, the less stable the marriage!)

2. A marriage contractually binds you together in a lot of ways that are subtle but powerful. You share debts, you share risk, you share counsel. Your spouse cannot be compelled to testify against you. While few people will ever encounter this scenario, the idea is powerful. Legally speaking, your spouse and you are a unit that cannot be turned against each other.

If marriage has no point, why has it lasted so long and is so widespread? The reasons are there if you look for them.
This was something i wrestled with for some time. I found that the first 'unlock' for me was to identify how i was doing. That led me to understand 'why' i was feeling the way i was. Then it was all about managing and trying to limit it.

For example, if I wanted to break a bad / destructive habit first I needed to recognize and acknowledge that it wasn't a good thing. Then i would understand exactly why i did it (i.e., root cause). Afterwards, I would not only try to manage/remove the triggers but also break the routine that led me to the bad habits.

(as a side note i built an app that helped me solve this but in a professional context - which i intentionally didn't share because your question is broader than professional development shortcomings / improvements :))

I'd say that's an exaggeration. Hannibal Lecter is insane.

An entry-level laptop not supporting dual 4K screens (for whatever reason) sounds more tame, especially if the vendor has statistics that show that a tiny minority use theirs with such a setup even in the Intel version that does support it...

The 16GB max memory is another problem, but again mostly not for the kind of users the machine is intended for.
As with my previous undeniable smash hit The Most Dangerous Writing App, I think that while the app is preposterously antithetical, there's a real value in it.

In short, I believe we care about too. much. stuff. all. the. time. Ironically, giving less fucks makes us happier if we know how to distribute them well. This app is trying to do exactly that.
We were already maxed out on closeness:

Cool, I made it just for fun when the corona started and business was slower than usual.
Funny, I've heard from multiple married friends of the "marriage tax" and how it knocks their finances all out of whack tax-wise. Some have seen the tax burden go up, and then again when getting divorced a few years later. But as for "why get married?" It's a way that people show commitment to each other.
Yes, that's correct. I write open source software as well and I don't begrudge anyone for licensing under GPL. And, I'm perfectly willing to obtain a commercial license, but I'm going to pass that cost on to my customers. In this particular case, though, the question for them is whether they want Apple silicon bad enough to pay an additional $50-100k in software licensing costs to keep their code private or to just buy an Intel or AMD chip. I know where I'd spend my money.

I strongly recommend Vaclav Smil, Energy in World History and Energy and Civilization (along with many other books on resources). The "Burning Buried Sunshine" paper (Springer link above)describes human energy use relative to net primary production. As of the late 1990s humans wwere accounting for (using directly or indirectly) 20% of all net primary production, with other energy use roughly doubling that.

Whether or not remaining biological systems could survive on just 60% of plant life is a possibility, though the impacts would likely be large. Further growth in human energy consumption would obviously be limited.

I'd come across that independently, Smil also cites it.
If it's any consolation, the type of person to do that is the type to have their house burned down around them because the solo king-of-the-castle, all plunder survival strategy has a very limited lifespan.
Cool! Java is coming soon for Config.ly. I think we view having many client libraries as an advantage over something like Spring Cloud Config that I believe only has Java implementation / HTTP -- since many folks have clients in several languages. I could be wrong, but I also don't think Spring Cloud Config has a fancy web UI with version history nor caching (so you can let PMs update copy instead of interrupting developers!).

The hope is that these and more features for Config.ly along with the fast integration will make it a no-brainer over rolling your own implementation as many folks do today.

Good points. And there is also Tornado Alley:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Alley

Excerpt:

Although the official boundaries of Tornado Alley are not clearly defined, the main alley extends from northern Texas, through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota. States such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota and Ohio are sometimes included in Tornado Alley.[4] Research suggests that tornadoes are becoming more frequent in the northern parts of Tornado Alley where it reaches the Canadian prairies.
Yes, China is doing a bad thing (understatement of the century). When the world moved against apartheid in South Africa, trade with them stopped altogether. Apple phones, and a million other consumer products, are still coming over from China. Stopping that would be a good start.

But then we've got TikTok, which some American lefties are using to exercise their free speech. The ticket-buying campaign around Trump's rally in Tulsa really seemed to ignite Trump's ire. Is this about the atrocities, is it about national security, or is it about Trump's ego? I can get behind the first, I'm weary about the second, and cannot tolerate the third.
This is a good time to consult Chesterton's fence [1]. If you go up to something that's existed for thousands of years, and find it tempting to declare it pointless cruft that should be swept away in the march of progress, maybe there's something you're missing. I don't have time to make an extended argument but one idea is that the most important part of marriage isn't for the happiness/benefit/pleasure/romance of the couples, but for the benefit of children. Studies demonstrate that children of single-mothers have worse outcomes, such as worse mental health outcomes. A marriage is supposed to be difficult to get out of, to disincentivize broken families. Not that this is anywhere close to a full answer; cultural evolution [2] means we may never get to a full understanding of whether/why the customs we have are beneficial, simply because societal dynamics are extremely complicated and still beyond our understanding.

I realized recently that at some point as the Rugged Individualists have become more shrill, that many of them have crossed the line from Libertarian into Anarchist and I don't think they know they have.

What's funny-sad is that I'm pretty sure they (used to) hate anarchists, and now they've become Them.

Guns instead of supplies is a very anarchist mentality. Guns make sense (at least in a self-consistent way) when you have something worth taking. If you have the guns but nothing to take, then you have a very different plan for an actual emergency. Whether you acknowledge it or not is a different story.
Congratulations WiFi Dabba.

It seems there has been an overhaul of the company since I last checked them out in January.

Key changes I could immediately see from their current website-

• Inexpensive WiFi Mesh service targeted at mobile users, small shops (1GB/1 INR) -> Broadband service aimed at homes and offices (Although the backend still seems to be their FSOC).

• WiFi Dabba India Pvt. Ltd. -> Delaware C Corp.

• Raising funds by selling PoP.

I (we?) would love to hear what led to these overhaul? @mildlyclassic.

I've been an advocate for Non-Cellular mobile Internet[1] in India and was eager to see WiFi Dabba venturing into this space, now that broadband seems to be their focus I'm bit sad although I understand if fighting the oligopoly's cheap cellular Internet(coupled with free voice calls) is an unwinnable battle for small startup building the ecosystem(innovative computer networking) from scratch.

Then again I'm excited to see the sale of PoPs, as I've been advocating for monetary incentives in sharing Internet[2] as well. Although WiFi Dabba's PoP isn't directly related to that, distributing the ownership of network is very exciting. I hope it ends profitable to both the company and its investors.

Recent reports said Internet penetration in India is limited to ~40% in Cities and ~15% in rural areas; So obviously there's a huge need gap in the country and attempts improve that through existing Internet players has repeatedly yielded disappointing results.

My previous startup was involved in VSAT services for in-flight entertainment system through a major U.S. Telecom, I've worked with several talented Network Engineers in the country, I hope some of them get motivated by WiFi Dabba to start their own network startups and bridge the need gap.

I don't understand why people use config servers like this, instead of keeping it in version control. Keeping it in the repository allows me audit changes of everything. If you move it to an external service, you lose that. And even if the external service has an audit trail, now you have two sources of version control. My assumption why people would do this is because 1) they're told that's how it should be done 2) they have a slow deployment processes, where it takes too long to get the change merged & deployed. Anyway, I've very happily never used a config service, and I still remain unconvinced. :)

> I think it’d be useful if phones could all do this natively.

Most phones (meaning those running Android and iOS) can do this already. On iOS, it's called AirDrop[1] and on Android it's called Nearby Share[2].

Both work without an internet connection or centralized server.

> If two people are going to stay together, a piece if paper telling them they're officially together.doesn't make any difference and if two people are going to separate, some paper's likely not going to stop it

"Marriage is a contract" isn't just a catchphrase, it's literally a contract and serves exactly the same purpose as a business contract.

See how this statement sounds: "If 2 businesses are going to keep doing business together, a piece of paper telling them officially doing business together doesn't make any difference and if 2 business are going to break their engagements, some paper's likely not going to stop it"

In a sense everything above is true, but yet, a businesses wouldn't enter an important business deal without a contract.

Marriage can be seen similarly, when you sign the contract you are doing so with expectations : "this person makes me happy, I'm ok combining forces to go further"/"this business partnership makes me increase my profits, I'm ok doing this deal with them"

Both marriages and business deal can go sour. People change, business constraints change. Getting the right provisions in a contract makes sense in both cases.

Both people getting married and businesses striking a deal don't enter the contract with the hope that they will have to break the contract.

Both know they can break the contract if needed, with effect somewhat known.
My parents are amicably divorced/remarried, as are (obviously) the parents of my step-sisters. The parents of my stepmoms also divorced and remarried. Our lives are all so much better because of it.

Yes, managing holidays with a complicated family is complicated, but that's really a minor inconvenience. Me and my step-sisters have two sets of stable parents that we can go to if we need help, and an even larger support network of aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. beyond them. Our parents are much happier and that in turn gives them more energy to be supportive. No matter how unusual a problem, there's almost always someone in my extended family who has experience with it and advice.

Divorce doesn't have to make life less stable. It can make life richer and more stable. If you care about the children but the marriage isn't working, it's better to divorce while you're still capable of co-parenting than wait until you're constantly arguing and can't stand the sight of each other. That's part of fighting for stability as well.
The news to me is now arstechnica.com is syndicating content from wired.com ... And as far as I'm concerned, no good can come from that...

... starting with this article which gives credence to these Asp and Greenhalgh fellows, who have deemed the current situation with batteries as a "structural parasite" while at the same time proposing to incorporate them into the skin of the vehicle, which moves mass way upwards and way outwards-- both of the no-nos in regards to stability. The negative effects from just the shifting of mass will likely outweigh any of the gains using their method, which so far seem to be a bit nebulous. And that's ignoring many of the obvious safety, reparability, and complexity concerns...

With the upcoming administration, the likelihood of a ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds is a possibility. Both Joe and Kamala want gun registration, which is a no-no. The government has no business knowing who owns what. They work for us, not the other way around. And no, I'm not a right-wing gun nut. Quite the opposite, actually. I dislike the current administration. Our rights are inalienable, not granted by government. The second something is granted, it's no longer a right, but a granted privilege. I don't do granted privileges. Needless to say, no one I know who is a gun owner plans on registering anything. Most of the people I know who are gun owners bought them in face-to-face buys and there is zero record of them owning anything, as it should be. I dislike both the Dems and the Reps as far as rights go. I'd be happier with a tiny government that exists to protect the borders, ensure free trade, and prevent monopoly. The Founders were correct.

You are expecting Ableton, a professional tool, to act as a toy.

Spend $100, Take a course, or watch some tutorials in the styles you want to make, and you'll build to proficiency.

Tools take time to learn. Toys less so.

I found that Ableton push was actually extremely helpful to take my understanding of Ableton to the next level. I then sold my push, and am more proficient with the software now.

If you don't have the "muscle memory" of other DAWs then ableton will be a new paradigm and absolutely hard to use and understand. Esp the difference between midi and audio.

Edit: I had a long day, so I might sound harsher than you expect, but the core of my message is: learning new powerful instruments is hard. Best of luck learning ableton, it's great. Go make some drones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdRcpRxYJK0

I think it makes most sense if you see it from the perspective of your child. Having family and friends "witness" your marriage ceremony (especially your vows) has a strong cultural pull toward monogamy to the benefit of raising your children in a two parent household. Apparently the government saw this commitment so valuable they tied into it legislatively.
OP here. Thank you for the questions. Yep, metadata and quick reconnection is the key for birds and such - we are able to do it almost instantaneously. Regarding 4G, our networks are choked and as many towers that can be placed, have. The spectrum is packed and noisy and dense commercial areas get horrible signal and speeds, the situation in rural areas is worse. And to make matters worse, less than 30% of the mobile towers themselves have fiber backhaul - so we hope to make a contribution there too. And finally, the core of the network can't be overhead fiber simply because it's not reliable enough to be the backbone because you're stringing it across trees, poles and over buildings. It's fine for the last mile to the customer's premises, but overhead fiber is not good enough for the core.
