I think death is inevitable in the way that in order for further life to continue, there must be death. The reason we love and experience things and go do stuff is because we know we have a limited time in this earth. We make way for the new just like the ones who came before us made way for us.
There is such a thing, actually. Not explicitly, but international copyright law has been largely harmonized through the Berne Convention. With 179 signatories its a pretty universal 'floor' for copyright protections. The only big abstention was the USSR and they aren't around anymore.

In case it might save a life... there’s a technique [1] for survival where you exhale to remove buoyancy, sink to the bottom, and launch off the floor to get a gasp of air before repeating .

It’s arguably the first technique people should teach/master when learning to swim as an adult, as it’s the ultimate “fallback technique” in a situation like one you describe. It’s widely taught in the US Navy, but applicable in freshwater swimming, as well.

Drowning is indeed a shockingly common and particularly tragic way to die. Most multigenerational families personally know of at least one person that’s drowned, to put the statistic you shared in perspective. :/

> Have you registered your company name as a trademark? If so, you may be able to sue for trademark infringement (consult a lawyer).

But if you don't have your name already registered, register it now, and your prior use may still allow you to subsequently sue for infringement.

Definitely consult a lawyer, but my understanding is that trademarks (ie. ™) don't have to be registered (ie. ®) to prevent infringement (because the purpose is to prevent confusion as to whose service or product is being purchased), the difference is in the penalties that apply.

I think Jobs was a special and good leader in many ways, but also a total jerk.

Imagine if Jobs were to have kept notes and been more coherent in his feedback i.e. "I don't like the menus. Don't distract the team now but analyze it, and I want a plan for adjust them in X weeks. Then, push it into the schedule".

There may actually be some benefit in keeping your devs. on a 1 or 2 weeks sprint dogleash but I doubt it. Keeping them on pace but not needlessly diverting them is good.

And Hardware leaders not understanding refactoring is bad. I mean, we never really estimate it well, but still.

I think it shows us how far marketing goes with respect to how we understand a company as much as it's products.
I agree that there are problems, but there’s still plenty of room to start new towns with better rules. Although certainly it varies, I believe that the process is to get enough people to move to an area and then agree to form a town together. And the rules in existing areas can be changed too, if you prefer. Just get a group of like–minded people to all move to the same area.

Also, I suspect that there are more towns out there that are dense and walkable than you realize, and more HOAs that are useful and reasonable (and that therefore never make the news) than there are terrible ones. The one my parents are in seems to have been run entirely without drama for decades; it just cleans the community pool and mows the median of the central avenue and replaces the sign at the front of the neighborhood every so often. A few years back a contractor replacing a culvert caused a flood and damaged a street and some houses; I’m not sure if the HOA hired them or the city did. Either way, the road was repaired and the pond refilled, and this is the most dramatic thing that’s ever happened in the area.
I've actually thought of something that sort of comforts me when I think about death. Our brain is just a mix of chemicals interacting with eachother. When we die, our brain starts to decompose. This changes the chemicals in our brain. At some point, we go from being a being that knows the difference between itself and everything else to being nothing that doesn't know the meaning of self and non-self. We sort of meld into everything else. We lose our identity and become part of everything.
It's all sort of hand wavey but it seems beautiful to me. Kind of like an Alan Watts vibe.

This intro doesn't get to the depths of the issue. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-019-0732-0, by one of the pioneers of the "egondocity economics" is very nice for both going over the math and the academic history of the error.

Given the illustrious history of statistical mechanics into Modern probability theory, information theory, theoretical computer science, etc., it's a real shame Econonomics is still stuck with this bad math.

https://aeon.co/ideas/how-ergodicity-reimagines-economics-fo... the pop-sci narrative here really doesn't seem that much an exaggeration. The way non-ergonomics fixes the math and confirms some real-world intuitions is quite profound. And certainly there is a lot to critique with orthodox economics' math. (See https://themountaingoateconomics.com/ for another example.)
I use Sway and Tmux.

Scrollback, selection, search, and buffer piping are 10x more powerful than any terminal emulator's builtin selection/search/URL-detection that I've tried. With one keybind, I can interactively select Web URLs with the keyboard; with another, I can fuzzy-search both Web and non-Web URIs (including mailtos, gemini://, etc) with FZF. I can use a non-URL regex as well if I want.

I can also detach/reattach sessions, which is useful both with and without ssh.

You get all these features in any terminal emulator you use, including the virtual console (which doesn't normally even have scrollback).

If you build Tmux as a static binary, your favorite terminal emulator is just an rsync command away on any machine you use (assuming you're allowed to chmod +x a file).

This is a good example of death phobia. Anyone who is interested in research of someone who has faced death head on over 1,000 times should read "Die Wise" by Stephen Jenkinson. He was in charge of end of life care in Canada health care system for a decade. He despises palliative care and thinks it distances us from the reality of death which makes it all the more worse. This article really emphasizes the extents people will go to hide their own death, or deny it.

What a great reading.

I am in my 4th mounth as a bootstrapper. You experience is giving me a lot of thoughts.
I am not sure about years, but I think that there are a large number of couples with newborns that are loosing some significant amount of sleep for at least 1 year or so. Not every day perhaps, but I think as new parents we run pretty much on sleep debt. I asked most of my friends and parents and this seems to be the case for all of them.

If my experience is not local and limited then someone has to do a study about loss of sleep and the effects this have on parents.

I found a lot of articles about the lack of sleep and the effect on mental health or health in general, but I am not finding a good explanation about how come if this is true people still become parents, then they go back to work and seems to function well.
Is something special about parenting and recovery from lack of sleep? Or we all parents will remain forever with the negative effects due to sleep deprivation happening in early years of parenting?

Just sharing another personal experience: think book came out exactly in the year my kid was born. After reading some reviews and finding out that it does not give any advice about how to handle sleep deprivation I refuse to read it then as I was afraid it will make me more anxious about the small amount of sleep I was getting thus making me sleep even less :)

I read this article in full, and I have to say: Amen. This subject has a deeply personal meaning for me.

I watched my wife go through similar things. Her stomach stopped working, and even with groundbreaking surgery and one of the top 10 gastroenterologists in the world at her side, nothing could be done. She tried to get treatments that she thought might help, until one day her GP just down the road finally told her what no doctor had the guts to say out loud: "you're dying."

That was a punch in the guts. That was late November 2019. She'd just turned 45. She went on hospice care just 4 months later. Hospice care was the best medical care she'd ever received. Finally she was in less pain (but still a lot of pain- starving to death is the opposite of pleasant). Finally able to have one on one care with a nurse who genuinely cared about her.

She passed away at home in February 2021 at 46 year old. Nobody tried to violently resuscitate her. Nobody stuck tubes in bad places. Nobody caused her more suffering in order to prolong her suffering. The green paper on the wall said so. One of my own biggest fears was having our home invaded by EMT's and police, with EMT's shattering her frail body to try to save it. But that never happened.

So, doctors have it right. Die in peace the old fashioned way, if possible.
There is no civil forfeiture as such in Europe. The UK and Ireland have a weaker version of the US situation but no other member of the European Union has it. What you are talking about (crossing a border with over a certain amount of money in cash without declaring it) is a completely separated topic that exists basically everywhere and is not a problem because it is very clear what you should and should not do (do not cross a border with thousands of dollars/euros in cash without declaring it to customs).

> Furthermore, nuclear plants take 5 to 10 years to even build.

But that's the problem.

The cost of solar and batteries is declining rapidly. For how long? We don't know. Exponential curves eventually flatten out. We had Dennard scaling until we didn't.

So the question is, do they get cheap enough before they hit the wall?

We have two choices. Choice one, build new nuclear plants, and then if alternatives are even cheaper, we pay the current/historical price for electricity for a while instead of some lower price (or the investors in the nuclear plants lose money, take your pick). This also gives us new nuclear plants to use to destroy all the stupid plutonium created by old nuclear plants, even if it costs more, and we really do have to get rid of that stuff.

Choice two, we don't, and bet everything that the alternatives get cheap enough before we hit the wall. In which case we're completely screwed if we bet wrong, because it takes a long time to build new nuclear plants, so if we don't start now by then it'll be too late.

A tesla 2 powerwall, weighs about 120 kg and holds about 14 kWh of power.

In India, the average household has a 2.5 kW Peak Power meter and usually, about 10 kWh per day is consumed.

So, not exactly a back-pack, but yeah.

The average individual house in India, is constructed in a plot of about 200 Square Yards. Usually available roof space is about 1000 sft.

Assuming no shadows or high rises in the vicinity (80% of homes have good sunshine even in dense cities), this area is sufficient for about 5 kW of installed capacity.

Most of the deccan plateau gets about 6 hours of good sunshine year-round. So that translates to about 30 kWh of power generation capability.

So, a 3 kW installed capacity, with 1 powerwall will be sufficient to power an average household for most of the year.

Of course, this does not take into account usage of ACs (a fast increasing power consumption category in India)

However, it costs about Rs. 100,000 for 1 kW of installed capacity (including inverter and grid connected meter, no batteries) For 5 kW, that is 500,000 Rs. (about 7000 USD) of investment.

Average annual salary of an Indian household in an urban area is about 15000 USD. About half of that in rural areas.

If there are good financing options and grid connected reverse selling meters (they are being encouraged by many local and state governments), there could be a revolution in installed solar capacity and utilization.
Agree about brew and highly recommend nix in its place. Failed updates can’t take down your system (it’s literally impossible, as changes are made atomically), different packages maintain separate versions of their dependencies so there’s no dependency hell, and it’s very speedy. Only downside is it’s not as Mac centric as brew, so AFAIK casks are a no go.
This is over-dramatizing. For many people, life is obviously a valuable enough experience to be extended many times over.
> With no successful prosecution I find such claims difficult to swallow.

lol ok then

> Trying to draw connections to such conspiracy theory favorites as MKULTRA, the CIA, Epstein, etc isn't persuasive either.

I'm not "trying," the connections are there. The FMSF was a key player in getting the media to adopt a standard line from the early 1990s onward that any allegations of organized child abuse must be false and concocted. And cases like Epstein's are relevant to a thread about child abuse and questions around whether it is real and whether we can rely on "successful prosecutions" to confirm or deny it.

Private owners of US bonds, foreign or domestic.

The US has an enormous privilege by having the global reserve currency. Through our military and political influence we have also forced several commodities, specifically oil, to only be priced in USD. This has driven global demand for USD in order to pay for goods not exported by the US - everyone needs oil, and oil can only be purchased with USD, so everyone needs USD. This causes countries to export to the US at cheaper exchange rates, basically guaranteeing that US manufacturing is at a permanent disadvantage for low-complexity goods that don’t play into our research strengths.

This also allows us to run insanely high deficits, as we can print dollars more easily than other countries without reducing demand for further dollars.

However I think the reserve status of USD is under serious threat. I don’t think US citizens care for war and are much more isolationist than politicians want. I don’t think using our military to enforce reserve status will be palatable anymore, and threats from China and experimental currencies like bitcoin will undermine the reserve currency status.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barrier_Reef#Protection_... suggests that quite a lot of effort went into improving the water quality and pollution/protection situation, so maybe the takeaway shouldn't be "scientists are lying about climate change" but "actions we take now actually can make a meaningful difference". I still think it's a little optimistic to suggest we won't ruin our planet through unaccounted-for externalities, but it gives me a little hope (and also doesn't, ya know, convey a tone that might encourage the science deniers as your comment might be accused of doing).

On the other hand, while micro-scale interventions can affect pollution and acidification, global temperature rise may be an entirely different beast, and that's what the people in this article are worried about.

They usually have very high performance code under the hood so this is a shame.
In general I agree with the renewable energy movement, and also with the ideas that come with modern approaches to electric mobility (like car sharing etc).

The only point I have left that I have to agree with, and that's a huge one, is recycling.

Our governments across the planet have failed to enforce sustainable recycling pipelines in the plastics industry, how would this be any different?

Why is my laptop battery useless after a year and has only 60% power capacity?

How is this even legal that warranty for batteries is 6 months?

I think that in order to make more sustainable battery tech, we need better recycling pipelines for it. And more important: all the plastics, chips, and pcbs needed around it need to be 100% recycled, not upcycled. And manufacturs reusing only 10% of their materials aren't worth a shit.

The ironic thing today is that a simple plumbum/acid based battery is more sustainable than a lithium ion one. It's energy density, however, is a joke. But it never gets useless, and is maintainable, and, more importantly, doesn't lose energy density over time so it's ideal for buildings that have a longer lifetime than a car.
So, diversify and do both?
