We primarily cook on induction and (for us) it solves all of the issues with traditional electric and all the issues we have with gas. It can really be the best of most worlds (efficient, fast, precise, easy to clean). I do understand that there are a few edge cases that induction doesn't handle (legacy or specialty cookware, recipes that need a literal open flame).
Thanks for the link; I hadn't heard of Holochain!

From what I've read, it doesn't seem to be comparable to GNUnet in any way, though. As far as I can tell, it is just another p2p network (or, rather, framework) running on top of the existing TCP/IP stack. However, GNUnet aims to replace the internet stack.
Nothing will become inaccurate, because JS never introduces breaking changes.

The guide might come to lack some newer things over time, but I doubt those will include any major paradigm shifts, because the past ~10 years have likely been the most dynamic that JS will ever see in terms of idioms and best-practices. JS made a radical shift into a mature language, and now it is mostly on the other side of that transition. So writing a "modern" (post-transition) tutorial makes perfect sense to me, and I don't think it will become irrelevant any time soon.
I mean good luck getting rid of the biggest games around then. The majority of the top 10 games on Steam are multiplayer games with anti-cheat systems in place. Even outside of Steam, Riot and Blizzard have games with huge player bases and they all use anti-cheat systems.

Wealthy is about how much wealth you have, not your income.

In 2020, $121,411 was the median household net worth in the United States. This is up from $97,225.55 in 2017.

The average household net worth in 2020 was $746,821. It was $692,100 in 2017.

The disparity between these two numbers is itself a major problem, but not the point. If you have a net work of $120k you aren't wealthy, even if you earnt that all in the last month.

The way you get from having no wealth to having an average amount is by working harder and earning more. However the tax system is built to punish people who earn more money from work, and reward people who gain more wealth through things like capital gains -- you pay more tax if you increase your wealth by a dollar from working than from the side-effect of being already wealthy and seeing your assets gain value. You're also far more likely to have higher outgoings if you're working (higher cost to live near a high paying job, commuting costs etc)

If you are on the median ohio wage on 37k a year, so $30,427.47 net, and spending 37k to live, your wealth doesn't increase.

If you work an extra 1k, you take home $31,202.47 -- $775, 22.5% tax.

If you make 1k in capital gains, you keep $971, 3% tax.

Look at twice median wage of 74k a year. Take home 57,439.49. Extra $1k will give you 58,109.69, an extra $670 - 33% tax.

Make 1k in capital gains and you pay 18% tax.

Earn 10 times the median wage at $370k and you keep 239,713.20, 42% tax.

Get 1k in capital gains and you keep $764, 24% tax.

I like stuff like this but am always ruined by the text-to-speech engines. I just can’t do it.

For people who want a curated selection of high-quality articles read by best of breed narrators, check out Audm [1]. It isn’t going to be be on-demand or cover everything that one would want, but the source material is quite good (The Atlantic, New York Times, ProPublica, the New Yorker, Wired, etc.) and the narration is notable because most of the roster are well-known audiobook readers, which is different from similar services or even the stuff Apple is doing with Apple News+. For me, I’ve found that not only does having a human narrator make a huge difference, but having a good reader is a game changer. I’ve been a subscriber for a few years and it’s one of the most high-value subscriptions I have.

I read a lot — at least four or five books a month and hundreds of pages of blogs, magazines, scientific papers, etc. — but I really do like to listen to books or news when I have the chance. I can read about twice as fast as I can listen, but it isn’t always ideal.

(Generic situation, not an ethics violation): One couple I talked to wanted to give their house to their infant grandson. So long as Billy lived in the house his parents could stay too. (Parents effectively passed over, avoiding some taxation issue.) I had a standard approach to this:

So you don't want Billy to join the army? What if Billy wants to be a fighter pilot? Then he won't then be living in the house. What if he is offered a great job in New York? Do you want him to turn that job down in order to keep his parents living your house? When Little Billy is 50 years old, and you have been dead for decades, do you still want him opening up your will to ask your permission before he makes a life choice? Instead, how about we let him live in the house until he is 25 and then he can sell it?

It's not just a california problem. Upper middle class suburbanites do this (with the best of intentions) everywhere they go. For every coffee shop their money keeps afloat there's two local businesses getting screwed by new local ordinances.

Sure everyone's land is worth more (as if selling the home you own or the land your business is on is actually an option when you can't readily replace either) but at the end of the day but everything winds up inflated and your standard of living flat-lines or decreases despite the increased stress.

Generational leaps emerge in the same ways everywhere.

Adding some context: in Steam on Linux, you can right click on a Windows game you've installed and in the properties, you can select various alternative runtimes for the game. If you select a compatible Proton runtime, then you are able to launch the Windows game on Linux and it usually works.

I don't have modern hardware but I'm easily able to play things like Mass Effect with Proton with no serious issues on an older graphics card (Radeon 7790). I'm not so confident that brand new titles would just work (even if I had a modern gfx card), but people tend to have good success overall. It's really good.

In case it's not clear, Proton is a Valve fork of the Wine project. The one problem I've run into is if I don't have the right dependencies installed. I didn't play any games for a long time, then went back and started playing some again, and through several `apt update` runs something had gotten out of whack; Proton is Wine, so you can still get into difficult "what does this error even mean" situations.

I'm guessing it's that people don't like wasting or letting out air that's been heated, cooled, humidified, or dehumidified.

They also make some games actually playable, which is a shame.

Ultimately anti-cheat within the application itself, I find, should be considered acceptable whereas Riot's Vanguard/rootkit solution is an ugly hack. Valve seem to be showing it's possible via both automation (ML) and community judgement to make achieve results - the aim needs to ensure all players look "normal", not stop all cheats (the latter aim is impossible).
One great thing about bootstrap is the availability of good quality themes.

> "The rest is just him trying to make a long enough article out of one sentence of information"

This is how I understand the article too. Bloomberg probably tried to recruit a source within the Apple Silicon team who wouldn't provide much information, but did say "well the Mac Pro will have a CPU better than any other high end PC".

Bloomberg wanted to run with that line since they have "unique" information so they could capitalize on it. So the author was told to write an article about it, with really only half a sentence of fuel to run with. So the author states the half-sentence, and then proceeds to use conjecture and speculation to fill out the requisite 500 words needed per the Bloomberg Style Guide that they are forced to file for submitted work.
Destroying the aircraft in mid air isn't really the threat any more, though.

The threat is using the airplane and its occupants as unwilling kamikaze weapons as in 9/11, and with the armored doors on the flight deck now it's unlikely the aircrew will allow the aircraft to be hijacked no matter what you bring on board. There's a reason the flight attendants stand in front of the door when the pilots have to use the washroom; it's so that you have to kill or incapacitate them first which buys the pilot(s) time to close and secure the armored door.

Several ways to read that question. Assuming one key reason is the heavy environmental cost, a thing that could be done very easily and have a huge impact is to replace meat in foods where it's not center stage and/or cheap meat products.

Why do they bother making cheap chicken nuggets out of chicken, or cheap fish fingers out of fish? It's the worst bits, ground to a paste, texturizers and flavors added, then coated in crumbs and fried. Doesn't need to have any meat in it at all. Many cheap hamburgers are known to be basically a chewable substrate for flavors concocted in a lab in New Jersey, so why not go the extra step? The "meat" in canned chili? The shrimp in frozen egg rolls? The ??? in hot dogs? Far-sub-premium versions should be much easier texture-and-taste targets to hit.

The bakery chain Gregg's in the UK has had a smash success with their veg-meat sausage rolls. The "meat" was so heavily processed and flavored, taking away the animal protein was a minor change and a major win.

But to target premium hamburgers? Standalone chicken breasts? Why add the extra degrees of difficulty?
Something else could easily eclipse Covid-19 even within the parameters of what matters to Thiel.

Production is limited by energy supply. Once renewable energies have reached the point where carbon hydrates have to be dumped onto the market to make any profit at all, there will be an abundance of energy. At that moment, unless enough AI is built, workers will become the scarce resource.
In my experience, those are only effective as a grease trap, catching the aerosolized particles of cooking oil/fat.

Keep in mind you’re living in a post-Basquiat world, he’s been ingested by the culture, his novelty is hard to feel now. Not that novelty is everything, there’s still obviously a lot of really interesting latent talent. But he also was making statements and refuting trends of his time, and all great artists innovate. It’s like seeing Rothko now, harder to appreciate because there’s been so much after Rothko, and a lot of that style was successful because of him since.

In a way a lot of artists reveal new paths, unique ways of seeing the world, so you need the full historical context to appreciate them. Kanye was revolutionary in hip hop, but today it’s easy to hear him and say so what? But he invented many of the popular sounds now.

Your entire criticism boils down to "what waste of time trying to solve trivial things" without defining what you regard as trivial.
It's ok to just not like something that is widely seen as beautiful art. I enjoy Basquiat but his work certainly hasn't moved me as much as someone like Beksinski. It doesn't make you a dullard or anything for not appreciating Basquiat. Can you believe there are people who think Pollack is trash too?

Last time I checked Tachyons (before Tailwind ever existed) there was no easy way of configuring it. The recommended way of, say, changing the stock colours was to do a find&replace in all of its css files. Not great.

Electron uses an IPC to communicate between processes. Each process is like a thread, but really it’s more like a chrome tab. Most apps have at least two processes, main and renderer. The IPC passes JSON events between them. “ElectronSafeIpc” appears to be a Microsoft implemented function that is wrapping up the native IPC functions and is assumingly providing some sort of safety checks. I gather the safety checks weren’t good enough, so once one process is taken over, the researcher has managed to use the IPC to access the main process. That’s still sandboxed usually but...
While I don’t disagree with you, I think there’s a bit more nuance to that. Please don’t take my comments below as critical of your point, just thinking through it out loud a bit.

What you’re describing is a very utilitarian perspective towards ethics/morality and I’m not sure everyone would walk away with that conclusion. There are plenty of people who do not believe the ends justify the means, or at least, don’t always. Others may think it is immoral, but necessary in some circumstances. This includes people that do or have worked in this line of work, to include me. It is also complicated, because there is no way of knowing if the outcome would be worse had they not done the “bad” thing. It also assumes we all agree as to what is “bad” versus what is “good”, or even somewhere in between.

Maybe a better way of looking at it is as though they are portrayed as flawed heroes? Or even good people that sometimes have to/choose to do bad things?

I don’t know the answers to those questions and it is very likely I am way off, but I appreciate you bringing up your thoughts on the matter!

The 529 plan, specifically the prepaid tuition plan, is an amazing option here. Another user has already pointed this out, but I want to add personal direct experience.

We used the 529 plan for our daughter, who will go to college in a few years. Let's say 5 for the purpose of the math. At this year's price her 4 years of college tuition will cost her ~ $48k. This total expected to go up around $10k every year before she gets to college (around $2k annual tuition rise, over 5 years).

So if we paid her tuition when she went in five years, we would pay $20k, $22k, $24k, $26k, for a total of $92k. Instead we pay $50k now, and are guaranteed to not have to pay any additional tuition costs, for a savings of $42k. The tax deferment might be another $8k (spitballing).

Which means the using a 529 plan now you can send two kids to college in 5 years for the price of sending one to college in 5 years and paying for it then.

Yes, there are risks.

* They may want to go to a private school, or out of state. The money isn't lost, but you don't get the guarantee either. You just get the money applied to the tuition.

* Tuition prices may come down and stay down. They haven't yet, and it seems unlikely without major upset. They might come down over the next year, but I suspect they'll go back up.

* Universities may become free, or become extinct in their current form. With any forward-looking investment there is a risk of a true disruption that completely changes the landscape. This would be such a huge change that it's not likely to completely happen within the 9 years until she would graduate, if it happens at all.
Geology definitely has more experimental falsification attempts going on than economics.

If you have a theory that is impossible to falsify experimentally, we're no longer talking about science (at least if your idea of science is the pursuit of objective truth). Modern "science" running amok with people more concerned with attempting to prove themselves correct than find the truth doesn't change that.

> Popper's falsification is a pretty unrealistic account of how science actually works

That's the rub though. A pretty strong argument can be made that "science" is not working and that "scientists" have lost their way, if you look at things like the reproducibility crisis.
