A friend of mine who did a masters in wine (pinot noir) and a phd in sensory perception ie tasting, keeps scads of left over wine samples in her fridge in used (and washed) plastic drink bottles of various sizes (to minimize air volume).

The tricky part of all this though is to know, for a given red wine, how long it should breathe before pouring. It seems some wines really benefit and others don't.
People are disgusting and I have zero desire to share a vehicle with another person let alone thousands of people.

There will be no shift in mindset. No. Just no.
I would suggest first to get something used and cheap, like ThinkPad and try it out for a little bit. Get something for around or less then $500 and see if you can make it yours.

I got Thinkpad, I love a lot about it, it’s keyboard is supreme. Touchpad didn’t work well for me and I turned it off and use the nib.

Still for daily driver I use desktop and macbook air (m1).
>However, this model ultimately ends up treating children and sometimes marriage (And even romantic relationships to an extent) as shackles and hurdles on the road to success.

And not just shackles in the traditional sense. Having children compounds matters because wealth and competitive advantage is largely about relative values.

If it becomes the norm that, defying economic pressures, everyone has children, culture in a democracy can force societal change in policy and business to make these conditions reasonable. On the other hand, in a highly competitive labor market, it's a chosen competitive disadvantage to have a child. Less time to devote to work, higher comp needed to support them and the family, etc. You're at a disadvantage to your peers that can sacrifice their personal lives more easily than a responsible parent can.

Case in point, I've done a large amount of contractual work. I have a friend who works in the same ecosystem and they've had to pass up on opportunities to work a bit of overtime that helped me solidify a future business relationship and contract by being there to deliver when they needed it. My friend on the other hand has a family and simply couldn't put in the extra hours in the short turnaround requested. The bias went towards me, the one with flexibility (no children but relationship with working professional who understands) to grasp these opportunities. That person shortly after had difficulty finding a new contract while I had a solid portfolio to work from. I don't like the idea because I'd like to have kids in the near future but it's quite clear you suffer a huge blow economically, in ways often seen and unseen, at least in the US.
I've always been skeptical of Curtis documentaries but I have to give props to the BBC for airing. I can't imagine any major network in the US touching these projects with a 10 foot pole.
Remember first Apple phone? It was Motorola ROKR E1 "iTunes phone" https://www.cultofmac.com/444315/apple-history-motorola-rokr... mediocre phone with many stupid restrictions. Released to test the waters and establish relationships.

Apple in talks with Hyundai reminds me of that play. Release Kia with full Apple integration, maybe little 'by Apple' on the back and test the waters while learning by doing. second iteration will be the real deal manufactured by someone else entirely.
I'm pretty sure most of them would double as writers, or illustrators, etc. It's not a normal magazine per-se, since the articles are all technical ones. It also mentions many of the 12 are part-time and/or wear other hats.
There was some research into using it in concrete.

I thought perhaps it can be shipped to northern territories that spray brine onto streets in winter to melt snow.
Well, there is no future climate data.
The default mode of Delta Chats "email interaction" setting is "show only chat messages". This includes replies to messages you sent out from Delta Chat, even if the reply came from another email app or a webmail interface. So you can chat with anyone who you know the email address from.

If you set email interaction to "all" then you see regular email appearing as a "contact request" if you haven't already accepted the sender. In current development repos there is already support for mailing lists, and for html-mail. With this and a few other improvements, delta chat can be used as an e-mail client in more situations.
Also this requires support from the WiFi chipset. Most laptops likely have support, but not all desktop WiFi dongles.

I understand it’s not the usecase, but would be cool if this also worked over ethernet.
Show me the Mastodon server with the moderation policy that fits the author's use case. It appears I can't even search mastodon instances by the criteria of moderation policy. (But if I'm missing something obvious please correct me because I'd love to be able to do this!)

There an abundant history of examples of centralized, publicly accessible forums where the quality of the discussion matches what the author desires. Plenty of FOSS mailing lists too, many of them extant. (On the topic of security, the cryptography list comes to mind.)

Mastodon's only value is in its utility to deliver discussions that are at least as functional as those I've participated in on these ancient services. If the author and I cannot easily (or ever) discover how to engage in discussions like that, it doesn't matter at all whether the underlying infrastructure is centralized or not.

Edit: clarification

Ok that explains how we ended up here. I'm considering some other common uses! A search-index for example greatly profits from being able to normalize representations and split words.
Your use case is probably different. But the vehicle parked outside my house is one:

- Whose features I very deliberately chose

- Has a roof rack that can accommodate my canoe and/or kayak

- Has all the stuff I carry around with me--especially for northern winter driving

And if I want to run to the store right now, I can be on the road in 1 minute. I don't want fractional ownership and I'm sure I'm not unusual. Most of the depreciation is in the miles anyway. And, to the degree it becomes more related to how old the car is, that will be reflected in the costs.
Offices don't vote, so you can charge high taxes. Build a house and raise the taxes and you may be voted out. Or even build a house and a different party member may buy it and take your town in a different direction.
I've tried this the past three times it's made it to the front page. Using both an iPhone and iPad with safari I was unable to even connect the server. It acts like it's loading then fails.
Everyone on the supply side seems to want ownership disrupted. It reduces material waste, and permits for continuous monetization in a world where the environment's needs supercede the externalities of productive growth.

I'm not happy about it (in fact I'm quite terrified of it). But to quote the IMF in their predictions for 2030, "You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy".
> You may speak as you will, I do not deny that the current usage of the word “man” has acquired a secondary meaning of “adult male human” opposed to it's historical meaning of “human" and if you wish to use it as such, then I'm confident I can usually discriminate by context.

To be fair, while I consider your original wording to be pretty clear, this is wrong. According to Wikipedia, the word 'man' has adopted the meaning of 'adult male human' as its primary meaning starting with Middle English, when it displaced Old English 'wer'. There are still uses where it retains the much older meaning, but its primary meaning today is 'adult male human', and has been for a good few hundred years.
Pearl Harbour doesn’t count. Certainly not in the same sentence as Rape of Nanking
I read your comment as "boring is hard if your existing platform is on fire" and I totally agree with that.

The advice is that you take the new tech and do a boring thing with it first, like deploy or build something non-critical and gain the production experience that way.

The least interesting thing to do would still be to stabilise $old while carefully getting $new ready.
If the customer paid a really high price for software and source code (like a few million dollars), he might rightfully decide that publishing it and giving it to everyone for free is not in their best interests.

> What was the median price of a home in the US in 1980 vs 2020. Then, what was the median salary in the US in 1980 vs 2020. Thats the real comparison.

Per the St. Louis Fed [1], the median American home price in 1980 was ~65k. The median American home price in 2019 was ~320k. That's an approximately 4.9x increase. Also from the St. Louis Fed, the 1980 median American family income was ~21k, and the 2019 median American family income was ~86k. That's an approximately 4.1x increase. So it looks like median house price has increased about 20% more than median salary.

I am Dutch; it is quite similar here.

It is about “ethnicity” as in country of origin and customs, not skin color.

I was not born in the Netherlands but did spend my formative years there; my skin is certainly a fair bit darker than the average Dutchman; my eyes are more oval; my nose is wider and smaller; my lips fuller; my hair is a perfect black. — yet never have I been treated as non-Dutch.

This is very different for my parent who speaks Dutch with a Surinamese accent and has different mannerisms, as it is for my parent's younger sibling who looks quite white but also has the Surinamese accent and mannerisms.

Surinamese people in the Netherlands definitely seem to feel some sort of kinship, and large parts of my family live in areæ of high concentration of Surinamese people, but these come in all colors, many of them are quite white but speak with a Surinamese accent.
Funny how little humanity invests in things that are vital for it. If something important is only invested in by monopolists, humanity has been caught with its pants down.

I'm glad they fixed that, but isn't this a case of Gell-Mann Amnesia? There's a lot of range between being so transparent you scare everyone and being the mayor from Jaws.

I got it from regional news, at the time. If building a lake is how you bribe people into doing something they don't want to do, and then you take the lake away, then from their perspective you've lied.

There are other ways to build a cooling plant for a nuclear power station, btw. Lots of places make them do that now, because dumping the heat back into the environment instead of into the sky causes far more mundane problems than this. And occasionally weirder ones. And since the thesis was about heat pollution, not regional nuclear politics, I'll thank you not to nitpick.

I recently saw a graph of the average monthly mortgage payment in the UK (a country where house prices have rocketed in the last 30 years). The average monthly mortgage payment has basically been flat over the last 30 years so I think your point is absolutely correct - affordability on a monthly basis hasn't budged.
“...not only has there been a recent spike in people deciding to postpone (or even better, entirely avoid) procreation...”

Judging by the other comments, others share my sentiments.
Subsidy doesn't change what the technology costs, it just changes how that cost is paid.

Subsidy can make sense, but not because shuffling euros around under walnut shells makes the cost disappear. The argument for subsidies is generally that it helps technologies move down experience curves. This improvement is a positive externality that a pure market would not necessarily reward. Unfortunately, nuclear (and nuclear in France) has been showing NEGATIVE experience effects.
That article is from 2020. Link to article in Japanese:

The gist of this is that everything gets more expensive. Our environment was basically tailored to us. Moving away from that, and losing stability to boot adds costs.

It’s another short run vs long run tradeoff. Fossil fuels brought and bring us immense short term benefits. But increasingly the benefits now will lead to larger costs in the future, both in adaptation and also in attempting to reverse the costs by taking co2 out of the air.

The best solution would be to bring future costs into the present and charge for co2 emissions. That way the truly valuable uses could still happen and the more optional uses of co2 would be discouraged.

This article is talking about building for the next few decades, but the non-stationarity problem will only grow if we keep emitting.

The traffic coming over Tor is completely different than the traffic coming over Hola & co. You can't seriously compare the two.

That, I believe, is a function of one material: PLASTIC.

There's just something about plastic that feels cheap and replaceable even when used in a "high end" product. There are toasters from the 50s made in stainless steel that are timeless. Contrast that with the plastic enclosed toasters of the last few decades and it's just no contest.
"Would it fit the company’s profit profile? Tesla achieved close to 20% Gross Margin in 2020, GM came in at 10% and Ford about 12%. Apple’s Gross Margin exceeded 38%, a different game."

The opportunity to integrate in to peoples' lives - and the services revenue that would continue - may make up for a, say, 15% gross margin on the initial car. No? Maybe?
Are you saying JPM going down means there is no alternate provider and everyone defaults in 12 hours or if the entire tri-party repo market fails? Those are not even remotely the same thing.

I would be shocked to learn that Exxon mobile will go bankrupt in half a day because one bank has an outage. It would speak volumes to how piss-poor financial networks are architected.

More realistically, JPM goes down and within an hour all of its large repo clients have already called BNY or whatever and are ready to go. Billion dollar businesses have contingency plans for headquarters being taken out by a bomb, you better believe they have a plan for their repo provider taking a shit.

Do you not see how ridiculous it is to suggest that the entire functioning US economy hinges on a single service run by a single company being available 24/7? If it were true, it would be a bigger terrorist target than the Whitehouse.

Apparently the entire US economy is dependent on the uptime of the work of a few engineers at one company. Better hope that information doesn’t become public or else they will be prime targets for coercion, bribes, nation state level manipulation, etc. These engineers are literally more important than Congress to keep alive and working.
Its automation / systemization / manufacturing vs. limited throughput.

Cars can be built on assembly lines, mostly by machines, with very few humans doing the labor, and thanks to the speed of manufacturing, many millions can be built every year.

How do you "build" servants? Right now, a Mommy and a Daddy have to romp around until Mommy gets pregnant, then it takes 18 years and 9 months minimum to build that servant. But what about the systems in place to identify top talent and utilize that servant better? What happens if that servant is tested and has a 140 IQ. Well then we need her to be a nuclear physicist, or a cardiovascular surgeon, or an AI researcher. She's wasted as a servant, and we can't afford to waste our resources in the modern world.

The problem with Agatha Christie's quote is her outdated understanding of the world. In 1910, when Christie was 20 years old, the smartest person born to the lowest class of British society had precisely dick-all chance of rising to become a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, even if it was clear to everyone he interacted with that he could easily do the requisite work.

I suppose one day someone will say, "I never imagined I would be rich enough to afford a robotic kitchen, but too poor to live on Mars..." or some such nonsense.
>Less demographically challenged countries are not a renewable resource.

At the moment, poor people who are prepared to migrate to richer countries to get a chance at a better life are very much a renewable resource. They just keep coming. Hopefully we will move to a fairer world where this isn't the case, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
I think the model 3 UI is terrible too. I believe there should be a status display directly ahead of the driver, and direct controls for critical driving functions.

Why can't Tesla relent just a bit - adding a dashboard and discrete single-use controls for windshield wipers, defog, lights and autopilot?
Trump appointed 50% more judges in half the time. So, triple the rate.

And to your second point, the popular vote went Democratic in the last 7 of 9 elections (and electoral in 5 of 9) but 3 of 9 Supreme Court Justices are Democrat appointed. The court does not reflect our deeply ingrained values.
There is a ridiculous number of moving parts, stacked on top of each other, interacting in unforeseeable ways to allow you to shoot yourself in the foot, and absolutely nothing is straightforward.

OK, that basically describes any kind of software development, but web seems so much worse than anything else. And I say that as someone doing mainly Java backend development who's learned to live with the AbstractProxyFactoryManagerFactory jokes.
>Truly pure water becomes quite acidic quickly

>truly pure water becomes acidic on exposure to air.

Correct, the carbonate is about impossible to avoid by distillation alone, you need to follow it with point-of-dispensing deionization to get a good blank. Though sometimes the older tradition of freshly boiling distilled stock might still be OK to get rid of CO2.

I just don't like stock any more, micro-organisms can change pH more than air and be more insidious.

But contact with the ever increasing concentration of CO2 in the air is not going to soon rival the amount of CO2 simply pressured into solution for mineral-free seltzer water. Way more carbonate ion in soluton as well as dissolved CO2 gas. Great to drink straight and not nearly as acidic as orange juice. Can nicely moderate the acidity of orange juice to end up with a refreshing lower-calorie orange soda too.

pH is very important but the huge difference is in buffer value where the titratable acidity of the carbonic acid in DI water is insignificant compared to the seltzer.

IOW when you take a sip of pure distilled water with no more carbonate than you get from the atmosphere and no other ions either, the pH of that sip takes on almost the exact pH your mouth had beforehand.

OTOH when you take a sip of seltzer which is simply pure carbonated water, that sip can make very prominent changes to the pH of your mouth (depending on how different your mouth was at the time).

I prefer to do both, repeatedly.

But not club soda which as the name implies has sodium like seltzer does not.

You can get even more carbonate buffer reserve into the water when you dissolve concentrated minerals like sodium bicarbonate and get true soda water instead of just dissolving CO2 gas under pressure, but for me there's too much sodium coming from too many directions already so I want my carbonation to come without sodium and not be a true "soda".
I'm a lifelong Texan, though I spent the first 19 years of my life in a smaller city of about 40,000, which had a lot of small town culture.

When I spent a couple of months in Ohio in the late 90s, I had many tell me they found my friendliness odd.
Prolonged forest fires in Europe??? Is that a thing? I’ve heard of Australia having insanely massive fires (easily bigger than all of Southern Europe) and west coast US having smaller but more intense fires. Where are the fires in Southern Europe?
This is really regionally dependent. It would be extremely difficult to do 75K in the bay area or many parts of the northeast. Very easy in many parts of the southeast and midwest.

Regardless, I think the point of 75K is that it's the threshold where you are generally confident that you can start thinking about future planning rather than immediate needs. Yes you still have to rent, think about budgeting, and be a bit cautious in spending, but at least you know that the basics of living are covered.
thanks for explaining!
How is an autonomous car any different from taking an Uber? I think most people who currently own a car rather than taking an Uber or taxi everywhere will continue to own a car after self driving cars are a thing - there is a lot of value in having a car immediately available to you no matter what, and it's nice to drive around in your car that is set up how you want and has all of your things in it.

I think if autonomous cars are much cheaper than Uber it could push some people to get rid of their car due to cost, but personally I would never do that since a cheap car isn't a huge expense.

Till 96th amendment, I used the work done by https://github.com/captn3m0/constitution and https://github.com/anoopdixith/TheConstitutionOfIndia/

96 onwards, I downloaded the gazette notifications and applied the changes manually. I could not find any automated way.

I'll file an RTI one of these days to the Legal Department to source the Constitution as is, after every amendment.
Let's see where that goes.
Pay attention to the context of that quote about regression to the mean. The problem in this case manifested as the opposite: 'egression from the mean', which can happen due to the combined effects of binning, cross-thresholding and heteroscedasticity (see https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.15.422942v1). I think that _is_ a fairly arcane point, at least to most life scientists.

"highly concentrated brine which will kill anything near it."

That sounds a bit dramatic, for salt in water, don't you think?

Sure, it is not a enviroment, live can prosper and it kills most living things, that would have to live in it, but it is also not deadly toxic, "killing anything near it" like your comment implies.
I wouldn't worry about this too much. Psychology is in favor of ownership - people have hardwired hoarding behavior.
