Ugh. Stopped reading after this bit:

They’re going to fall in love with you. Deal with it.
Nobody ever complained on their deathbed that too many
people fell in love with them.

That's just so outright dumb + wrong. Assumed the rest of the article would be of similar low quality, so left.
I have the same MOBO. Does it lock up entirely, or just gets stuck in that screen with the spinning white thing? If the latter, it just takes a really long time.
> Maybe this is wrong, but I'm really struggling to see why we would pump gas into our house and burn it under these conditions.

You have forgotten about absorption heat pumps, which are powered by natural gas and are even more efficient than electric ones.

I think this is the most likely explanation, and where I'd put my money. I'll admit if he pranked me (as a fellow prankster, that would be a good one).

But still, the slim odds times infinity makes this a story worth spreading so we can get eyes on it and put it to bed fast.
I'm glad you've found that. I'm sure it's possible here too, although with more effort, but with pandemic, and my general introverted nature, it's been very hard to do.

> This is a cherry-picked example and a bad-faith argument.

What’s the trend of claiming arguments are in “bad faith?” It’s like a verbal tic people have developed recently.

I didn’t “cherry pick” anything. The very first step of the author’s analysis was to exclude states that had banned same-sex marriage prior to Obergefell on the theory that federal law could be changed. That exclusion carried through all the subsequent winnowing steps of the author’s analysis, because each step built on the previous step. By the author’s own logic—that she wouldn’t want to live in a state that had banned same-sex marriage prior to Obergefell, because of the potential for changes in federal law—California should have been crossed off the list.

It’s fair to say public opinion in California has changed since 2008, but that’s true all over the country. I’m just applying the author’s own logic. And you’re incorrect: Prop 8 was implemented. A federal district court enjoined Prop. 8, but that order was itself stayed by the 9th circuit. Marriage licenses were not issued from 2009-2013. The Supreme Court dismissed the challenge to the injunction in 2013 on procedural grounds, and marriage licenses resumed. By then the writing was already on the wall with the Supreme Court’s decision in Windsor.

The premise of the article isn’t which urban areas “support” for LGBT rights goes the deepest. It’s looking at states which enacted legislation that might give LGBT people a reason to not want to live there. A large number of states banned same sex marriage in their constitutions between 2000-2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_constitutional_amen.... It’s notable that California was one of those states. Minnesota and Iowa and Indiana didn’t. Neither did West Virginia, Pennsylvania, etc., along with most of the northeast and Maryland and Delaware. These is something to be said for the culture of places that may not be “progressive” but unlike California were tolerant enough to not have jumped on that constitutional amendment bandwagon.
With most licenses couldn’t you use a fork?
It's the same with software - you can read all the ones and zeroes and memorise them, but you cannot write them back and sell it. Imagine a human is an object and has various attributes that you can exploit. You should only be allowed to use that data for legal reasons or if it serves purpose of the product you are selling.
> One of the hubs of the cooperation is a base on Mars — where, by the way, Eshed claims American astronauts have already set foot.

Lots of claims like this. Zero evidence. Grist for the UFO mill. The entire alien visitation narrative has failed to produce one scrap of credible evidence despite numerous detailed claims over several decades.
People don't realize that at that target rate of 2% yearly, your savings lose half their purchasing power over a 10 year timespan. The number looks small, so people see that and say "oh, no big deal" but they don't realize how big of an impact it has on their net worth if their assets are mostly fiat currency. Additionally, most people don't notice how this affects their behavior and encourages people to save less and spend more, but from a macroeconomic perspective the effect is plain as day, most people have less than 1k in savings.
I agree with your stance on this, but also there’s a pretty compelling argument for the other side. Especially when we’re talking about the equivalent of secretly recording audio and video at see-your-pores fidelity and extracting fingerprints from any product you touch, as well as doing forensic analysis on the dirt of your boots to find out where you’ve been.

At what point should we draw the line of what’s “[reasonable] observation”, and what’s not?
> Has the State of Israel made contact with aliens?

> According to retired Israeli general and current professor Haim Eshed, the answer is yes, but this has been kept a secret because "humanity isn't ready."

This premise is absurd and the fact that the only one that is coming forward is the aging head of "space security" in Israel, a nation that recently failed to land a robot on the moon according to the article, makes it prudent to write him off as crazy. Especially since he's trying to sell a book.

have you worked with GUIs much? complex interactive UIs take a surprising amount of code, doubly so if what you're doing isn't covered well by your platform/toolkit's native inputs.

i'm working on a webapp with a scheduling thing and even drawing a nice-but-not-interactive day schedule is a bunch of work. consider a day view that lays out overlapping events next to each other:

Dec 8
-----------
9
10 AAA
11 AAA BBB
12 AAA BBB
13 BBB
14 CCC BBB
15 CCC
16
17 DDDDDDD
18 DDDDDDD
19

like, even laying out those boxes takes a bunch of code. and then you need interactivity, the actual "app" part - you want drag-n-drop that snaps to columns and switches you to another day if you drag it to the side, and selections, and menus, and hovery-popupy things, and undo, and so on... it adds up quickly

I wouldn't mind dual-booting but I strongly prefer having independent physical devices for each OS. The way that the bootloaders can try to clobber one another can result in frustrating breakage.

Unfortunately my MSI board's BIOS doesn't seem have support for enable/disable the SATA or NVMe controller. I'd gladly take a recommendation of a micro-ITX board that does. This kind of thing doesn't make the spec sheet.

It's seriously astonishing how much progress has been made in the past few years regarding gaming on Linux. When I first made the jump to using Linux as a daily driver circa 2016, I had to keep a Windows partition to be able to play any game in the Steam library that wasn't native on Linux. With steady improvements to Wine and Valve's release of Proton however, I can play most games out of the box or with a minimal amount of tweaking.

However, the games industry is still largely hostile to gaming on Linux. I've always had the best experiences with indie games or FOSS projects, and the only trouble I've had is with newly released AAA titles. I wouldn't even bother with newer multiplayer-only games or MMOs, as anti-cheat on Linux is a pretty reliable way to be falsely detected and instantly banned (not to mention requiring kernel-level access, which is utterly ridiculous).
This is the first time I hear about the dangers of gas cooking. I have to admit I haven't read the whole article but from experience gas is much more pleasant to use. Excepting the fact that you have a nice glass surface that is easy to clean, cooking with electric is frustrating.

> The people most burdened by these impacts are those who struggle the most to pay for cleaner alternatives

I don't believe cost is the main issue, rather lack of awarness. I just checked, in Uk you find both gas and electric hobs for the same price tag - stating from 100 gbp.

The biggest cost of installing a electic cooktop is actually having dedicated wiring with a 32amp fuse. This is more tricky in old builds, it could require changing the fuse box and running new wires - a lot of mess. In new builds it is more common to have this by default.

So it's not exactlly a case of rich/poor but rather old/new.
What if they gave you the ability to disable anti-cheat checks but put you up against others who do the same?
GPS and Satellite TV are different, plus, your way of thinking is flawed - just because there are precedents, it doesn't mean we should continue to add on top of them! In addition to light pollution, radio pollution is worse than ever. After Starlink setting a brew type of precedent, more will try doing the same.
>"As a result, managers can paint very different picture of the same situation..."

What you describing is a fraud. In a big organization managers are not uniform group, there are multiple levels and factions. They will happily report on each other if the picture is grossly distorted. There are also a lot of metrics and built in controls in big orgs that can and are being used to estimate how particular policy affects the bottom line (profitability).

In reality there are companies whose bottom line did suffer from WFH and there are companies that had actually have profits increased as the result. If you think the latter group will revert because some low level managers feel insecure about their position I have a bridge to sell.

>Minimum wage is enough for this.

Minimum wage? LOL.

Even with a $80,000 salary, in the US a medical or other emergency (e.g. getting fired in a bad economy), can leave you unemployed, homeless, or living with a big debt. Even worse so for your retirement prospects (or lack thereof).

With a few cool million in the bank you don't need to worry about any of those things.

Absent self-driving--which was always a pipe dream--the overall price will not be materially lower than a taxi. Perhaps people will prefer the service for other reasons. Perhaps they'll go back to transporting themselves however they were pre-Uber.

To be fair, y'all did your best to dissuade expansion by intentionally avoiding some infrastructure improvements in the 90's and 00's. But then people came anyway, and it became impossible to ignore forever. This isn't to cast aspersions on either people who were fighting for better transit across those decades, or people who wanted to keep Austin somewhat smaller. Just my observations from across my life, with family/friends in the area, spending good amount of time there each year.

The ACT stuff is long-overdue and the new CapMetro Connect project is great. Hopefully it gets funded and built with fewer bumps along the way than Houston's 5-line rail network (which is still sitting at only 3-and-a-half of 5 lines built).

lowering the unemployment rate to 7.9 percent as of September.

Whenever the "unemployment rate" is announced by a US agency, the reader must remember that that's not the actual unemployment rate.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment#United_States_Bur... :

"Official unemployment rate... when people are without jobs and they have actively looked for work within the past four weeks."

It's kind of a lie, but not really, because the BLS gets to define the word "unemployed".

It doesn't work well with a wok though, nor does it - or any other ceramic-covered stove (halogen, IR) - cope well with those who have an "active" style of cooking where the pan is moved almost as much as the utensil. I was an early adopter of induction in the 90's in the Netherlands but moved back to a wood-burning stove when I moved to Sweden. Yes, wood, in Swedish called "vedspis" (firewood-stove). It warms the house, it works when the power fails - which is does regularly out here in the countryside - and it works wonders with a wok. I still have a few induction plates but I hardly ever user them other than outside when there is fire ban in summer.
When AT&T first did their Fiber rollout in SF, one of the things I remember was they charged you $10 extra if you didn't want them to MITM all your connections to insert JavaScript pointing to their own ads.

I would probably expect this to be some network card or cable or connector is failing though...

Bitcoin's history is littered with exchanges that self-destructed over one kind of problem or another with keys. If true, the reports are very concerning.

Contrary to popular misconception, users of Coinbase are NOT insured for losses of funds resulting from loss or compromise of Coinbase's cold storage keys.

Should something happen to the keys, Coinbase users will have no recourse for getting back the bitcoin lost on the exchange.
I'm not sure how strong a network effect other than in a local area. I'd be pretty sure that (in normal times) their primary market isn't business travelers flitting from SF to NYC to London but residents of $CITY using Uber Pool for commuting or Uber to go out with friends on a night out to a bar.
Do you have consistency between GTK/Qt, or only within each? I've never really bothered to set it up (just installed some theme I pulled a name from Arch wiki for, so buttons look like they're from this century) because I assumed I could go to a load of effort and still notice which is used for each program I use.

And then find myself caring which I install if I have the option, or not wanting to if it's only available in the wrong one.. whereas I'm presently free of that.

Rather stupid to be honest since it's not obvious how new mails could help the car salesman (don't know what zulieferer should be in english... supplier?) in any way shape or form.
