Not OP, but politicians aren't scientists and claim all sorts of things for a variety of reason.

They mentioned a DOI: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/669121

The abstract: The provision of toilets and menstrual supplies appears to be a promising strategy to promote adolescent girls’ school attendance and performance in less developed countries. In this article, we use the first round of the Malawi Schooling and Adolescent Survey (MSAS) to examine the individual- and school-level factors associated with menstruation-related school absenteeism. Although one-third of female students reported missing at least 1 day of school during their previous menstrual period, our data suggest that menstruation accounts only for a small proportion of all female absenteeism and does not create a gender gap in absenteeism. We find no evidence for school-level variance in menstruation-related absenteeism, suggesting that absenteeism due to menstruation is not sensitive to school environments. Rather, coresidence with a grandmother and spending time on schoolwork at home are associated with lower odds of absence during the last menstrual period.

In reality the current approach just alienates the people in power with the ability to do something meaningful.

People that werent going to do anything meaningful, but still wont. Except now they wear black and blue versions of the American flag in a specific counter protest.

While the actual person of color has to listen to your ilk proclaim rewriting the language is so progressive and for that person no matter what their life experience has been, and also wonder about how much the “silent” people resent them because they think it’s we’re going to cancel them.

Hope that people can further refine how the energy and sentiment is directed. I feel like we’re close, but people are still so out of touch.
When a momma gorilla and a papa gorilla love each other very much... (and significant resources are dedicated to keeping them safe, content and ready to procreate, which is what I'm assuming Reddit has achieved.)
Yeah, that would be nice for a variety of subjects like this where there are so many competing theories.

The articles always make it sound like it's a done deal when there is so much more ambiguity.
What's a paywall technique that works now? I tried googling the article title, but that failed.
The whole financial system actually has some usefulness: you can pay for things with it. Anywhere in the world. Without paying $30 in fees, without waiting for 3 days to clear. It's also not likely to run on 60% coal.

Since bitcoin zealots have moved to pretending that it's a "store of value", you can compare Bitcoin to the energy used to secure the gold in the world. Hint: it's much more worse.

It seems like it uses Web Workers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers...)
I see, thanks. I'm sorry for the amount of questions, but I'm very curious!

Do you see the ruling elite technically qualified for such leap? And if they are not themselves, are they hiring adequate decision makers, engineers and such?

Also, is there an education system in place (or in advanced planning) that allows to grow local technical talent?

The part where they use lidar to handle condensation from car exhausts and heating vents is very interesting.

It looks like it's almost impossible to detect pedestrians in such situations using only cameras.
I would like to add that not all people see it as that bad. On some Android phones these apps are already pre-installed and you can’t even delete them. You have to disable them one by one. On Apple you’ll be able to simply click “No” and reject the whole package.
Mine died to this. USB port came loose, sat in the back of a drawer waiting for me to get round to fixing it, to be thrown away in a fit of "I'm never going to get round to any of these 20+ projects-in-waiting that have been collecting dust for the past N years". The battery was probably knackered by that point anyway.

Genuinely regretting that now.
Given the name, I'm assuming OP is the blogger. Please follow up on this, seeing as it was only posted a few days ago. You almost certainly don't really owe that. This type of thing happened to me many times years back when I was going through repeated spine surgeries and years of rehab and therapy. It felt like a nightmare seeing some ridiculous huge number pop up that my insurance refused to pay, but there was never a time I actually had to pay that. Medical providers effectively just send arbitrarily large numbers to insurers knowing they're never going to see much of it, but they also know they're not getting it from the customers if insurance denies it, either. Maybe a hospital is different, but there is no benefit to them in forcing you to go through a bankruptcy and then not getting paid anyway. Sometimes, these charges will just go away on their own and there is nothing you need to do. Sometimes, you'll have to go through a ton of hassle. But 1) they know damn well you can't pay two and a half million dollars, and 2) that isn't the actual cost to them anyway.

This last point is confusing as hell and was one of the all-time great WTF moments of my life when I finally asked the office manager at my spine surgeon what the deal was with these absurd prices they were charging the insurance company. At one point, some neurologist I'd never even met did a two-minute consult while I was under anesthesia via video and charged the insurance $14,000 for that, which they did not pay, but neither did I. Whoever that was got along fine losing two minutes of his life without being compensated for it. When the office manager explained to me how they do billing, he told me the providers and insurance have no upfront agreement regarding what the prices of each procedure are going to be. The provider just knows there is some limit to what the insurance will pay, but not what it is. So instead of even trying to set some sane price, they just bill an arbitrary very large number hoping it is higher than the limit and they'll get whatever the limit actually is, and when they don't, the times they are overcompensated will cover for the all the times they are undercompensated. It's like metainsurance for the providers themselves, except they're also providing the insurance to themselves as a sort of ad-hoc forced savings mechanism.

Billing is totally messed up and the US healthcare is maybe the worst example of a jacked up attempt at combining some semblance of a market with centralized regulation the world has ever seen. But you almost certainly will never have to pay this money. There was never a single year I actually ended up paying more than my out of pocket max. And all those credit dings for the $120 bill that was one of 60 and slipped through the cracks just because it's impossible to track all the mail you're getting feels like a bigger deal than it really is. Don't fret over your FICO score. It's not what it used to be. In my experience, only consumer lines of credit really care and anything that matters like a mortgage uses a much saner evaluation algorithm that isn't going to penalize you for this.
I'm looking at folks that are having kids when they are older than i was and they seem to have their shit together so much more. In looking back I feel like I squandered some of the time I had with my children by not really understanding how fast the years go by and focusing too much on being a provider vs. being present. My youngest is ready to leave the home and I still have these flickering day dreams of these things I'm going to do with my kids and I still see them as kids.
There is also work going into building opportunities for the people who are likely to poach.
Calling him the Andy Warhol of 3d rendering is to not understand what Warhol did.

Beeple is indeed famous for his quantity: occasionally he puts out something good, but the fame is almost entirely for the pieces that are "crazy good for having been done in under a day".
The N900 was fantastic. The phone was to be a leader until Stephen Elop.

Elop was a Microsoft employee who never stopped being a microsoft employee. As fake ceo of nokia he convinced the board to switch to microsoft OS and drop their success. Nokia did that and then when Nokia sales plummetted to disasterous level he proposed selling that division to Microsoft at quite the discount. Afterall who wants to buy a failing division. 11,000 employees laid off because of Elop's incompetence.

What the board should have done was fire Elop very publicly and move right back to the Linux ecosystem. They had a leg up to basically be what Pinephone, chinaphones, and so many other phones are trying to be.

Seems very political indeed.
First one is definitely the primary use case.
Amazing! You have a customer at CareDash. Feel free to reach out to me if you want any feedback as we will start implementing this shortly. rcarlton@caredash.com
This is pretty much what they're already doing. It's all a throwback to a meme. Meme "investors" turned meme "philanthropists"
Interesting. But I cannot judge if further syntax is worth the suggested improvements. Is it okay to say that it is better, that the committee decides that for me? I would appreciate actual UTF Support within language more ;)
I used my N900 until a week ago, I finally moved the SIM card over to another phone (a dual-SIM one), because the (original) battery didn't take much charge anymore. Hardware-wise it's as good as new (mine is Made in Finland). Over the years I've used it to do support work in Antarctica using VPN from whatever cafeteria I was at at the time, other types of work where I needed a Linux computer and only had the phone, it's been running my minicomputer emulator, I did development work for it (the SDK running on my PC - basically a Debian setup), and, of course, as my phone.

The MicroUSB socket was a weak point, the fix was to file off the two notches on microUSB cables before using them with the N900. So my N900's USB socket is still good as new.
Another benefit of struct is since enumeration can't be inherited, you can achieve something similar with struct and operator overload magic as I did with OpResult [0], to allow consuming applications of ASPSecurityKit extend possible OpResult values with their app specific failure codes, without having to do ugly explicit casting if an enum was used instead.

using the phrase "adopt" to mean "funding the ongoing care of" is pretty common parlance, at least in US-based charities. You can, for example, adopt a highway:

Just because some people do a thing doesn’t mean most people do that thing. Most Linux devs don’t use .NET. Maybe they have technical reasons or maybe they just don’t want to use a Microsoft product
I love Bitwarden. It's a great piece of software and it's reasonably priced. We use it at my place of work (I pushed to install and use Bitwarden on the company level). I also tried the Bitwarden_RS, it does the same work however it's not suited for company use as it lacks the feature to create groups. There's an open issue that provides a workaround, however that workaround proved to be unusable. I tried to reach out to maintainers to see whether the feature could be implemented and paid for their effort but.. let's just say the answer was "No.".

Long story short - we use official Bitwarden and are paying for it and couldn't be happier. Bitwarden_RS looks like a cool toy, but I can't see any reason why anyone would run it. It's good for personal passwords, but Bitwarden itself offers free service so there's no need to venture down the self-hosted road.
If you're washing it, I guess you could use a towel like you would in the shower after equivalent washing.
Not sure what exactly you're referring to. It's virtually impossible to prosecute most sexual crimes. And if somebody's really out to frame you, the truth doesn't matter in the first place. Getting murdered by an angry lover may be more likely.

All this does is make people think twice. If you're married and trying to have children how can any craziness ever happen? Not sure what "collective sex-culture" is, but it may be what many just call "promiscuity" (which is kind of my point).

Best thing I did was to reduce my work hours. Went from 40h contract to 32h and it has been a great improvement.

The first month I spent gaming, but now my projects advance more quickly. At least one whole day can be dedicated to my projects.
Also, a day off a week is 52 days of holiday a year.

If you are able to, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Communism necessarily implies authoritarian government. What you think you believe in is a false utopianism due to a lack of erudition.

Unlike disks flash has the nice advantage that it's not really constrained by form factor though. With a server full of E1.L drives you get strong performance and large storage in a dense space. Of course that's eye-wateringly expensive today but I think the combination of these factors will be what displaces disks rather than purely $$$/TB.
Rip out your spyware first, it's a bigger problem than forcing users to the App Store.
Some solar panels on house roofs to compensate the house consumption is fine... But when I see such pictures, I always wonder about the impact of massive solar panels on albedo. Just like wearing a black t-shirt in the sun in summer.

Indeed it is changing a red-ish reflecting soil into a huge black surface in an already hot location. I mean this is not carbon emitting, but this surely produces a significant local warming. So I am cautious about creating massive solar panel parks because of that.

I have never found any study that would count the calorific impact of turning black square kms in sunny places, and what impact it would have on global warming if we go massive.
That's been going on for a while now.

I’m very skeptical about water supply (and related infrastructure) being more environmentally friendly than tp.
This is going to get extremely expensive:

1) demand, mostly from Asia, for body parts of endangered animals. Unfortunately, the customers are willing to pay a lot of money (a single rhino horn for example can fetch 15.000 $!), and don't care if they actively contribute to the extinction of a species.

2) Enormous poverty in the regions where these endangered animals live. The median wage of South Africa is 17.000 $ - so it's no surprise that many turn to poaching.

Basically the West would need to impose drastic sanctions on China and other Asian countries that act as demand for rare animal parts (not made easier by the fact that the West has a shoddy history itself in that regard, e.g. ivory, and so such politics always has legitimacy/neo-colonialism issues), while at the same time directing massive amounts of money towards eliminating the poverty and establishing alternative, legit jobs for former poachers.

>paper doesn't EMIT light

Your retina doesn't care if the photons it receives are emitted (as with CRTs) or reflected (as with paper). If you feel like you're staring into a lightbulb, your monitor's brightness is set too high. Set it properly, and, in a well lit environment, your monitor's white should match that of the wall behind it, or that of a piece of paper on your desk.
I cut my teeth on GUI development with PyQT back in the day. I couldn't afford an N900 at the time, but was sorely tempted.

Ironically the best mobile platform for hacking GUI and mobile apps in Python now is, er, iOS. Pythonista gives access to almost the entire iOS API suite (and slightly hacky access to all of it), even has a GUI builder built-in, and is highly programmable directly on the device. Pyto is pretty cool too. Hard to believe, but that's where we are.
Correct. Although that sounds more like the entire number of reddit users, not just WallStreetBets.
That's a cool idea but isn't that the problem? Humans destroying their habitat?

> a preserved notebook of someone semi-famous with 5000 pages of drawings

That is the crux of it - will Beeple be semi-famous in 200 years? Doubtful. There isn't anything here that is particularly noteworthy to stand the test of time... the unique difference in this work is its delivery, not its content. (In that sense, the buyers were correct to not care about the content.)

It does deserve some recognition for being the first of its kind. But just like the videos of people who took a picture of themselves every day for years were once new and innovative, they are now commonplace... so will works like this become commonplace. So the point is that there is no reason to expect this to appreciate in value and become worth a billion dollars.
Looking at the answers there're definitely a lot of common trends. But yes, I see your point. Part of the problem is separating the pure productivity question ie how to fit in hobbies, vs asking whether the question itself points to deeper issues around health, excessive pressure to achieve and so on.
You can avoid this by only storing part of your password in Bitwarden. The random part.

Then when you log into somewhere add another secret (which you keep in your head) to the end of the password you stored in Bitwarden.

frawk: An efficient Awk-like language
The JVM itself shipped with a ton of vulnerabilities, e.g. in vendored ancient versions of libjpeg and similar stuff. Those didn't only affect applets but all Java client and server side applications that presented e.g. image processing as an attack surface.

Also, vendoring the JVM itself by virtually all java applications lead to those vulnerabilities being exploitable for ages, even after they were publicised and fixed in the latest version. In that regard, the JVMs were usually in worse shape than the browsers' applet interface which was updated far more regularly.
This is the use case that something like sandstorm.io tries to solve, by locking down system calls on the backend and (slowly but surely) CSP on the frontend. I don’t think BitWarden has been ported yet, though.
Kinda difficult to say because it was over 15 years ago and I only tried it once. I was only using it as a desktop for easier development because I was experimenting with it as a replacement for some proprietary embedded software and was trying to port something to it - tbh I was reaching for something way beyond my ability, I was pretty green at the time so consider that most of my progress was highly dependent on the manuals (which I suppose is a testament to the quality of the NetBSD manuals.)

In hindsight I would have used a different OS as a desktop and then done dev over SSH. The reason being, my (probably outdated) memory of it was having to wait a lot for compiling the relatively large desktop ports because it lacked a binary package system, and spending a too much time messing with configs probably due to lack of use as a desktop - partly to blame was my cheapskate employer of the time who would never invest anything in anyone, forcing me to scrounge for spare old very slow machines. Other than that it felt like a much more minimal OS compared to FreeBSD, setting up X felt similar to other OSS systems of the time.

It seems to have a stable community around it and keeps getting updates since then, i'd be interested to see how it compares today. I think OpenBSD has a much stronger following as a desktop OS though and is similarly minimal but not as portable (i mean not "runs on a toaster" portable), it's desktop/laptop hardware support is better even with their exclusion of bluetooth, and I suppose those are the ultimate deciders for what works well as a desktop OS today.
If you're an Emacs user, I must recommend magit (https://magit.vc/) - the interactive rebasing (including squashing/fixups) is one of the best UIs (overall, not just git) I've seen in my life.

I'd switch away from Emacs but magit keeps me hooked!
Have you ever built a product yourself? I will be honest with you, I just use the python standard library for algorithms. I don't even remember what kind of sorts there are. They don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. What matters is whether you can build and ship something. This is how Valve evaluates applying engineers too, by the way. Finished project list first.
