Do they only break for users in the United States? I've been using Firefox exclusively since about 2.0, and I've never had any of the Google projects break for me. Not once. Yet this seems to be a pretty common problem around here.
I'm genuinely surprised to see Tetris have the lowest power consumption, since unlike the other two games, it does not use the HALT instruction. The HALT instruction puts the CPU to sleep until an interrupt occurs, supposedly lowering power consumption during that time. Most games have it somewhere in their main loop, after they've done the work they needed to do for the current frame, they halt until a V-Blank occurs. Tetris on the other hand busy waits, going over the same 3 instruction loop until the next frame. Most games halt 80% of the time, so now I'm wondering if that instruction ever did anything at all.

A curious phenomenon I have noticed only in India is that rental yields tend to be much lower than any other country. Arguably, if renting is so cheap, it makes more sense to rent than own a house, unless property is expected to appreciate in value indefinitely.
Personally I like either fiction books or historical/biographies-kind. Books that try to teach me something often do feel like a chore. (e.g.: i'm trying to read GEB after all the recommendations, but I just can't get into it)
I'm using Paint Shop Pro 7 as my main image editor[0], it has the best UX of any image editor i've used, was released 21 years ago and i have zero concerns about its security - not because i expect it to be secure (chances are it is using, e.g., a jpeg library with security bugs) but because there isn't any use case where that would matter.

Similarly i use Delphi 2 and C++ Builder (both around 25 years old) now and them for making small utilities (e.g. [1] and [2]) - again no internet connection nor any reason to worry about their security. Also i use Adobe PageMill (21 years old too) as a WYSIWYG word editor and simple site editor (like the sites i linked to) - that one can connect to the internet to upload stuff, but i use a separate (and under development) client for this.

Also aside the possibility for security issues there is also the probability for you to face them: after all just because a program has an issue it doesn't mean you'll encounter it - if anything, nobody is going to spend any time targeting such old software.

You might pay less in a cooperative, but you're expected to be more involved in its internal politics and in keeping things running, so you're likely making up for the lower monetary price by paying with your time and energy.

Ah, universal composition... the mother of complexity. Seems like the standard approach, in all manifestations of composed systems, is to find some property that makes composition “work” and then sandbox or guardrail the real system to (1) ensure the property holds in practice, and (2) recover without too much collateral damage when it fails to hold.

Of course there are no black boxes in the real world, but the staggering hierarchical complexity of life would seem to indicate that one can engineer systems (whether natural or man-made) that are close enough to be indistinguishable.

The US has similar capital gains exclusions and roll overs on primary residences. The transfer (“stamp”) taxes of 1-4% of the sale aren’t directly comparable. However most US locations do have property value taxes of 1-3% per year. Closer to the proposed land value tax scheme that was recommended a few years back. The other huge difference is where property depreciation and losses (negative gearing) can offset other income streams indefinitely. That doesn’t work in the us (and most economists are against mortgage tax deductions in general).

I doubt this would get anywhere. Usage of the spectrum as designed is not "interfering", and fairness at the physical layer/medium access level works at the per-device, not the per-household or per-person level.

There isn't even a requirement for "802.11-like fairness" on 2.4 GHz, which makes legacy analog wireless headphones that blast the entire spectrum without any listen-before-send policy as legitimate to use as a state of the art 802.11ax device.

I wonder if a dedicated "Wi-Fi only" chunk of spectrum would make sense, but it's not like such rules couldn't be bent by having multiple access points and spreading traffic over these as well.
I went through the page, but it's still not clear to me what problem it solves.

Also, I won't be keen to try something like that for the following reasons:

1.) When I want to try a different OS, I'm used to just downloading the ISO and spinning it up in a VM.

2.) No screenshots. I have no idea what I'm getting.

3.) I prefer to have my OS installed. And nowadays, installing an OS is not really that "painstaking" anymore, so that's not a feature I need.

4.) Having it on a flash drive that I can lose gives me an uneasy feeling.

I do, however, find the idea of it coming with books appealing. If the OS is really worth it, then it might be worth paying at least for the books. I miss the days that software came with physical user guides :)

Yep I am very happy to share details. And, I will write more about this as I test monetization options here (http://build.shepherd.com/).

This is a FT project for me (and a huge passion project as well). I am lucky in that I have had several business exits and I can afford to work on this without worrying about the money. That said, I need to eventually build a business around it because I do have costs for the amazing developer I work with, the amazing designer, and a few PT people that help with data entry. And, I'd like to accelerate development with the money the site generates.

For the next 3 years my focus is on growing the content, features, and traffic.

In the short term I have affiliate links to Amazon and Bookshop.org. I am not sure that will be enough to create a sustainable business but I should have more data within 3 to 6 months to know how that is going to play out.

I have some crazier/wild ideas I want to try eventually, but those require a lot more traffic. For example, I'd like to try putting a book ad in between books 4 and 5 on every book recommendation page, and see if that is a good model (the idea being like Google PPC to do book ads on specific topics and thus a higher CTR / interest from readers). I'd like to find ways to help authors make more while I also am making more. Such as autographed book sales, selling posters/art related to books and trying to monetize some of their IP more, and so on.

I am also playing with the idea of doing a Kick Starter or similar where I match what readers give to help get this going a little faster and giving a group VIP status within the site.

More basic things like robberies. It's nice to have the building security guy open the door of your car and walk you inside when you're carrying hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry on you.

If someone wants to kidnap or assassinate you, this kind of security will probably do nothing to stop them. At least it'll disincentivize robberies, there are easier targets out there.

The tragedy of New York, in my opinion. Upstate has such an outsize political influence compared to New York and surrounding areas. It makes no sense. What's sad is we have bought into the romanticism of the rural. We don't even challenge our lack of political power.

Upstate exists because New York exists. New York doesn't need the people upstate to survive. "Oh yeah but upstate is the source of drinking water for New York," someone told me proudly. As if the humans upstate had any contribution to the water cycle. If anything, the people upstate are polluting New York's water supply.

To add insult to injury, all these upstate politicians get to decide how much of the taxes collected in New York and surrounding areas are spent in New York and surrounding areas. Everything from CUNY to the MTA.

We built a C++ project-based course [0] that uses exactly the same ideas.

The core of our approach is that every code snippet is extracted from a fully working codebase and every code iteration is tracked in git.

We unit-test each commit, which means that every tutorial step works. Also, making a change in an early code iteration requires a proper git rebase, with the change propagating through history without conflicts.

We also annotate the code to extract snippets, and then run scripts to autogenerate git diffs for those snippets. The scripts also output the unannotated version of the codebase, which we share with the course participants.

We are thinking about writing a blog post about this if there's interest!

It depends on the size of cooperative how much you have to be involved --- if it's only one house, you'll surely have to be involved. Other coops have thousands of members, in these you can choose to just be a renter (in fact most people do that in my parents coop, less than 10% go to the annual meetings etc.).

It's certainly true that individual landlords have some trouble with renting out their property. The majority of homes however is held by companies, whose administration deals with renters. Maintenance costs of a single home can be uncertain, but of a number of homes it's very predictable. So the risks of big companies holding properties is manageable, and in no proportion to the profits that big conglomerates such as Deutsche Wohnen make.

My last home in the US was near a ski resort in Colorado, and it was a fantastic life - incredible mountain biking in the summer, and of course snow skiing in the winter. It was truly heaven. That was before remote work was as common as it is now. If I had to go back to the US, that would be the place.

Sure, you miss out on the cool things the city offers; but a couple hours drive and you're in a big city. I found the need to go only about once a month; the rest of my time was just too happy in nature to feel much need for what the city offered.

If you haven't tried mountain life - and I mean mountain life, not big city near mountains - you should. Rent a condo for the summer and temporarily relocate there. Chances are, you'll decide you don't want to leave when the summer is over.
Due to the systems in question themselves timing out relatively soon, this is what I in practise end up looking at anyway.

It's a good point, even though it cuts both ways: given some assumptions about the tail behaviour of latencies, the 20 minute extreme event is a treasure trove for estimating the probabilities of smaller tail events.

Without kids and if your an introvert- it’s a no brained. Buy you that 15 acre ranch

Back when I was a childless introvert, living on a 15 acre ranch by myself would have been living hell, and would no doubt have done terrible things to my mental health. I might not like being social, but I still went out to concerts, movies, restaurants and similar (often by myself) and doing so was always mentally invigorating. Plus going to the pub with that one friend I did have was very necessary for my mental health. Being an introvert doesn't mean you don't want to be around civilization. As a childless introvert having a small apartment in the middle of town where I could walk everywhere was the obvious no brainier, and worth every penny.

> I've seen people tell me to get a 5GHz capable AP and a dongle. But this shouldn't be needed.

You can't have the cake and eat it too: 2.4 GHz propagates through walls, so you share the spectrum with your neighbors; 5 GHz is much more easily blocked by walls, but that also means you have the (much larger) spectrum to yourself.

> 5GHz doesn't go that far, so I'd need to buy an AP for pretty much every room.

Well, for every room that you need a stable connection in. If you can see your neighbor's signals that well through (presumably) multiple walls, I suspect that you'll also be able to cover at least one extra room per 5 GHz AP so that calls don't drop while you're moving between rooms.
