Those implements of death have been tools of liberty, stability, and safety in the hands of hundreds of millions of people across the world in the last several hundred years.

The world, under its thin, patchy veneer of peace and prosperity, is still a savage place. Ask the IDF, Ukraine, South Korea, etc.
So how is the platform itself doing? :)
I don't understand how it's in any way feasible. Do none of these people own laptops with sensitive business or political information? How do they think they're going to protect any of it without strong encryption? Or all the sensitive data on their phones or other mobile devices? How do you secure anything ever against espionage without strong encryption? Have these people not put any thought into this?
I've been wondering if the following was part of Biden's retaliation:

Google says there are about 50,000 killer whales right now. They are apex predators and similar in mass. Of course sea creature versus land animal, but also I believe we are at a low point for killer whale population.

I was shocked by how cheap it was too. Very cool!
>Lots of people won't stop using encryption software just because it's banned.

In particular organized crime, which the government is claiming to address via this policy.
Yeah that’s potentially true. When I raised the price, the conversion rate stayed pretty much exactly the same though.
So 7.5% of all humans born in 52.000 years are still alive.

Ergo, humans have an average lifespan of 4.000 years.
This always stops people in their tracks.
All the minerals needed for plant life are available in the sand, silt, and clay in soil. Soil life is the key to breaking down aggregate minerals into plant usable nutrients. In healthy soil fertilizing is not necessary.

It is hard to talk about soil life without sounding like a kook to most people. But, our practices of using synthetic fertilizers and spraying fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides are literally killing the soil's capacity to feed plants.
In my experience AirPods have excellent mics for what they are. They're definitely a million times better than the built in mic on the various (high-end) phones and laptops I've used in recent years. I wonder how they compare to a standalone mic or a decent headset mic (or that ModMic you mentioned.)

I have often thought this, but what balances my FOMO is the old story about the stockbroker in 1929 who got a stock tip from his shoeshine boy, and immediately decided to sell all his stocks because if the shoeshine boy was into stocks even, that meant the bubble was about to burst.

I have no idea when the speculative bubble bursts, but I am pretty sure that I am the equivalent of the shoeshine boy. If I'm ready to speculate, that means we are very late in the cycle and a burst is coming. This helps me shrug off any FOMO; if I did decide to speculate, it would be a sure sign that the fall is imminent.
Well, political activism doesn't have to be about that, but EA isn't opposed to activism per se. EA is just, by its very nature, opposed to political activism that believes the only way we might make things any better is demolishing the current system and somehow building the perfect one from scratch - because this kind of activism tends to entail the belief that any kind of charity-based solution is a bad thing because it might make people stay longer under the unacceptable system instead of revolting as they rightly should.
Or children if we are being really serious about the whole problem.
SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Response in Persons with Past Natural Infection
This kind of response saddens me every time I get it.

Every time governments start scaring people about pedo-terrorists behind every corner and start demanding censorship/mass surveillance/back doors, the standard response from fellow people in tech fields seems to be "this doesn't concern me, I will just do $CIRCUMVENTION".

It utterly misses the point. The issue here isn't a technical one. If a law is proposed that you can see as morally, ethically flawed and outright dangerous to society, the response definitely shouldn't be to laugh it off and pretend it doesn't concern you.
It seems extremely unlikely that there was a flat population for millions of years (considering e.g. the human population has doubled in the last 50 years), and this wouldn't be my starting assumption.

A small, flat population is even more unlikely - any disruption would wipe out the population more quickly than millions of years down the line.
I was not actually able to try the game. The images all loaded as blank white squares for me on mobile. It also seems to hijack the browser back button every time a picture is clicked.
A lot of internal enterprise tools explicitly have "filter everything" as a feature, so in those cases you might as well use a super-generic API, since you'll need that flexibility anyway.
There appears to exist a fundamental but dissonant set of principles exhorted by people who are interested in the exploration of the male/female equity narrative:

(1) "There is no meaningful difference in intellectual, risk-taking, leadership, or genetic ability between men and women".

(2) "As a whole, instutitions perform better when more women are involved".

These statements each imply that the other could not be true, but they are often discussed in conjunction with one another. Which is it- are women superior in some way that men can't access and including women yields a reward to any organization, or would substituting women in for men lead to no measurable performance changes across industries because men and women are balanced in ability?

You probably don't want a shotgun mic, as a regular condenser set at a distance of 30-70cm will work just fine in most situations. When talking about condenser microphones for voice recording most people think about large-diaphragm condenser type, but actually it's absolutely possible to get great results with a small-diaphragm condenser with a tighter polar pattern ("pencil").

You can always play with the angles to get the mic closer to you. Usually, it means miking from slightly below and shooting from a higher point.

It all depends on your particular situation so if you have further questions contact me or drop by #mixing:matrix.org

Most desalination plants do just inject saline water back into the ocean. There's no where else to put it. In most cases the outflow pipe runs some distance offshore into deeper water to reduce the environmental impact.

The Haber-Bosch reaction is what turns atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) into ammonia. Ammonia can be oxidized to make nitric acid and nitrate fertilizers, combined with carbon dioxide to make urea, or used as-is for fertilizer. The inputs to the Haber-Bosch reaction are hydrogen and nitrogen gases:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

The nitrogen is easily separated from air. The hydrogen is the energetically expensive input. Most hydrogen is presently made by steam reforming fossil fuels. Hydrogen can also be produced from water and electricity via electrolysis:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

In the 20th century, surplus hydroelectric power from dams was used to electrolyze water for making ammonia. More direct demand for electricity and cheaper processes for making hydrogen from fossil fuels gradually eliminated it. Now people are planning to bring back large scale electrolytic hydrogen for fossil-free hydrogen from renewables:

Perhaps it’s time for the development of a standard where your email address isn’t tied to a domain; instead, email is addressed to an identity and the underlying plumbing automatically handles routing and delivery. Very similar to how your mobile phone number is portable between providers.

We can’t expect everyone to own a domain to control their messaging sovereignty.
Yes. I also made the choice to pay for my email hosting from a reliable provider, it's cheap (1.5$ month) and I'm considered as a customer, I can have a support with real humans.
It would probably be worth contacting someone at the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which is part of the USDA. It was literally created as a response to the soil lost during the dustbowl and was originally called the "Soil Conservation Service".

> But in the fight against child pornography, domestic politicians and legislators have identified [end-to-end encryption] as the core problem and would prefer to ban it.

There's no logic to this. These people already access banned child pornography. They aren't going to hesitate to use encryption to do so, banned or not.

The encryption tech already exists and is widely and freely available and a ban doesn't change that. A ban could keep good encryption out of popular, high-profile platforms. But these people are already seeking out the dirty, dark corners of the web, and I'm sure will have less trouble adjusting to this than almost anyone else. My random guess is they will be communicating and sharing images via encrypted blockchains that are ostensibly (or even mainly) for something else, or some such.
You sound like someone who may be in better shape and / or doesn’t sweat a lot.

> Right, and in the very beginning, only some single-digit percent of the people living in the US were eligible to vote. Women, slaves, non-landowners, etc. did not have the right to vote.

Slaves would not have been a large proportion of the country as a whole--about 20% at their height. While the early US did require landownership for adult free males to vote, the US also had unusually high landownership rates. It's estimated that ~60% of free adult males had the right to vote (contemporary Britain had about 15-20% of free adult males having that same rate). So ultimately you end up with about 25% of the current franchise rate, or somewhere in the mid-high teens after taking into account the existence of children who still cannot vote.

Two things:

1.) My first (and most imminently actionable) conclusion is that you should immediately stop what you’re doing and give yourself some deserved praise. You’ve accomplished something unbelievably cool and achieved what I’d consider the ultimate in validation. Not only have you found some form of product/market fit, but your clients commit.

2.) What does data tell you?? How is your pricing relative to competition? Do you have clusters of users inside of the same organization? Do annual users have anything interesting in common? What does support/suggestion volume look like between monthly and annual? Pick four users who you would like to smoke a joint/have a beer with - are they annual or monthly users??

Basically, figure this shit out - you might be running into pricing theory (charge more) or this might be real serious insight into your customer base.
Adding to my comment on my XPS13 7 days ago:

* I raised a service ticket with Dell.

* They asked me to install the latest firmware for the XPS13 9310, dated 8 April 2021.

* That solved the problem: now I can close the lid and the laptop properly sleeps; I can put it in my bag without it getting noticeably warm; battery loses just a couple of % overnight, not 75% as it did before.

So irrespective of whether this 11th gen does S3 sleep or not, my laptop is now performing in line with what I expected.

Thus: thank you Dell.
Thanks for reply - I don't have much to add. I think we pretty much agree at the end of the day.
That's how the gov't views you, as an economic unit = labor production.
Yes, but the point is we should expect elephant population to be larger than that of an apex predator.

Requires a subscription.

'Replace it' is a little imprecise here, allowing for substitutes. I'm sure some people are trying to make substitutes but we know a lot more about how soil becomes these days and we're able, to an extent, to create it by introducing food to the right food chains.

Unfortunately for perennial crops, you have to build that food chain up orders of magnitude more than you do just for annual plants. At the same time the carbon content and resiliency are much much better.

One idea might be to focus on trying to convert monthly subscribers to yearly.

You could offer a subset of monthly subscribers a one-time upgrade to a yearly subscription at a prorated discount.

So people one month into their subscription could get the remaining 11 months for the annual cost minus the 1 month fee they already paid.
Luck the environmental lobbyist have got the suckers into only caring about CO2 levels, and not harming the planet.

That said, if this reduces productivity that would mean more forests to cut down but I'd need to see a more full report on what is happening.

Loss in land value and productivity should also be happening to back this up. The entire region will not suddenly become useless at once.

And if there's anyone left who cares about the environment not CO2, helping quantify this at land sale level would help push some market forces.

Desalination is sufficiently cheap to not be a material problem for US consumers (or other developed countries). State-of-the-art desalination plants in Israel are fulfilling contracts at ~$0.40/m^3 [1] and the per-capita water usage in the US is ~1200 m^3/yr [2]. Even if we assumed that the current price of water is $0, this would only amount to a $480/yr increase in expenditure per American which would constitute a one-time 1.4% increase of yearly expenditure for the median American. Note that this accounts for all agricultural production in the US; if we consider just water for domestic use such as drinking, bathing, and watering the lawn the average person only uses ~100 m^3/yr [3] which is ~$40/yr which is within reach of every household. This also assumes that increased water prices will not result in changes to water usage which is very doable as the US uses ~3-4x as much water per capita as other peer countries such as France and Germany and 10x the water of Israel which already needed to adjust to a regime of desalination water prices.

All in all, considered merely in economic terms, desalination is a perfectly viable solution to the water crisis in developed countries and would incur at most a relatively minor economic impact by this analysis. Note that this does not necessarily apply to developing countries where a $40/yr expenditure increase could be catastrophic. I am also not making any statement about non-economic considerations such as possible effects on the environment that may occur as a result of the need for increased power generation for mass desalination.

The thing is that, if you don't propose radical political action, there is little to no reason to be opposed to EA. The only reason I can think someone might be opposed to EA is that they believe the only way society might be improved is through revolt and total reform, and therefore any kind of charity-based solution would just be stopping The People from rising up as they rightly should.
Of course the kicker is that you need Steam VR.
