Split a bottle of wine with the wife most days. That equates to 2-3 "standard" drinks per day I suppose. I find buying standard bottles of wine (versus boxes, 1.5L big bottles, etc.) exerts a certain amount of discipline. You're going to be averse to uncorking a new bottle after you just finished one :)

You're optimistic there. Where's my iPhone with a 7 day battery? Last time i had a phone that lasted 7 days it was a Nokia 6210 with a b&w screen.

I care about that too, but prolly not worth mentioning on an US centric site.

Huh, I use the official Twitter app on Android, and I don't even notice the "trends" - only time I even see the option to see them is if I use the search function.
I spent some time living in Queensland and picked up a used Falcon off some German backpackers. That car cost $2000 and never really had anything wrong with it. I drove it up and down the coast and into the hinterland, mostly sleeping in a blow up mattress in the back with our surf boards. I even towed a trailer to help a friend move home with it.

Good memories!

My next door neighbors just had a pesticide treatment sprayed on the entire exterior of their house... including patio furniture, outdoor cooking area, the yard that their young children play in... this just one week after a neighborhood wide mosquito treatment (I opted out and asked for an MSDS from the application company).

I just don't understand people. I would rather see a spider/wasp/ant occasionally than be doused in pesticides.
>If you go to a doctor with some kind of pain and she prescribes you some pills, are you hesitant to take them? Are you questioning the science behind these pills? Are you accusing companies the pills are a fraud and government for peddling them for corporate enrichment? Are you looking at list of side effects and say, because it has potential sideffects you are not going to take it?

Absolutely, yes to all of these, why wouldn't you in 2021? Are you not aware of the irresponsible over prescription which led to the opioid crisis? Are you aware that you can request alternative prescriptions?

>Are you questioning the science behind these pills?

Science is not beyond reproach, is never 100% certain, and doctors are especially fallible. It would be irresponsible not to conduct your own research, particularly when you can typically find all manner of studies, including trial results, for most medications.

It's irresponsible to blindly consume whatever a doctor prescribes without awareness for side effects.

>Just do the best job we can running the process correctly

You put far too much blind faith in bureaucracy.

>Peddling FUD is exactly what anti vaccine movement does where there is no reason to fear it.

That's just not true. The medical establishment makes mistakes all the time, both at large scale and individual scale. There are hundreds of different drugs which were discontinued after years of use permanently harmed or disabled patients who later sued. Frankly, your optimism is toxic. Further, it is not up to my doctor to decide what an acceptable level of risk is for an me.

None of this even touches upon the perverse incentives, political and financial, to get a "working" vaccine shipped ASAP. There's no reason to believe that the establishment, which has been granted legal immunity for this vaccine, will be entirely and rapidly forthcoming if there are severe negative side effects.

I even mentioned that I have the The luxury of being able to sacrifice my relationship with my family to stand up for what I find to be morally correct. I'm also fortunate enough that I don't have to sacrifice my family relationships to stand on the side of morality. The idea I'm trying to get at is that at some point what's right is more important than what's convenient. And I'd then argue, only children are afraid of being punished for doing what's right.
How Is Lower Back Pain Connected to Emotional Issues?
Backache is commonly found among adults. According to research out of every four to five percent of adults suffer from backache. As several major activities that could cause back, pain is smoking, sleeping in an inappropriate position, bending while performing house chores and laundry, mowing the lawn, taking the stairs, reading in bed, carrying groceries and other small bags, energy drinks, wrong exercises, and sitting in a chair with no activity all day.

>When is a more fuel-efficient jet not a good idea?

There are 2 different business perspectives to forecast:

(1) The manufacturers' perspective -- the article says Boeing estimates $15 billion to develop a brand new clean sheet airplane that's maybe 10% more fuel efficient. The business risk is that they won't get +$15 billion in new airplane orders to get a positive ROI. (This is not hypothetical when you consider that the Airbus A380 is more fuel efficient than Boeing 747 at max passenger configuration[1] but they didn't get enough new orders to recoup development costs. Therefore, the A380 is considered a financial failure.)

(2) The buyers' perspective -- some airline operators won't see 10% as enough of a savings to buy a new $250 million airplane. Consider that airplane buyers such as Delta Airlines, FedEx, and UPS deliberately buy older less-fuel-efficient airplanes. The savings on buying/leasing the old planes outweigh the projected fuel savings costs.

It's not that strange that a new fuel-efficient airplane is not a slam dunk in business terms. I have a 100 watt incandescent lightbulb in the attic but I'm not going to spend $8 for a brand new efficient LED light that takes 20w because I'm hardly ever in the attic. Even at 1/5th the energy usage, I would take me 20 years to make back $8 in energy savings.

I agree with all you’re saying. But I come across these things in a small fraction of cases where the tree is a hindrance.
If your drawing board has been blank for the last 6+ years and the next 5-10 years then your only strategy is for the gov't to keep you afloat.
Western airlines aren’t the only market in the world. Even if you only see Asian or African airlines buy Chinese airplanes, that will still have a major impact on the balance of global sales (and the bottom lines of Airbus and Boeing).

This is both true and not.

Yes, overall diversity is smaller, it's all white and mostly Russian population, skewed to West, but also some very different minorities (and climate). Russian North and Caucasus are very different.

It's anecdotal, but my trending pane is usually filled with mostly hard left trends, the occasional right wing trend, with the left trends being frequently selected to be sloppily editorialized by Twitter staff. I'm certainly on the right wing. More likely, it'll show you what's likely to make you engage, and there's no quicker way than to show you things which make you angry.
Agreed. This isn't slippery slope any more either, universities and other institutions have demonstrated a willingness to deliberately conflate "violence" with ideological transgressions even including _not_ speaking out on an issue a la "silence is violence".

Here are a smattering of cases in which universities suspend, fire, or pushed out faculty on the premise that they are creating "unsafe environments" (or similar implications/accusations) with their heterodox ideas (note that these are just professors, but there are certainly many more cases in which student transgressions result in suspensions, expulsions, etc):

* the Christakises were pushed out of Yale for arguing that the university didn't need to dictate to students what Halloween costumes were appropriate for students--that the students were adults who could decide for themselves. They weren't right-wing demagogues (far from it), but they didn't toe the party line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Christakis#Free_speec...

* A professor was suspended for saying a Chinese word that sounds vaguely like a racial slur: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/09/08/professor-sus...

* Another professor was suspended for the tone of a letter in which he declined to grade black students differently than white students in the wake of the George Floyd murder. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/06/10/ucla-professor-on...

* Another couple of university faculty (Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying) were pushed out of an Oregon university for declining to participate in a "no-whites-on-campus" day. When 50+ students assembled outside of classroom angrily chanting, accusing him of racism and white supremacy. Evergreen police were ordered to stand down, and told Weistein they couldn't protect him and that he should stay off campus. The mob also circulated names and photographs of his students and grafitied things like "fire Bret" on campus. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/opinion/when-the-left-tur...

* Another professor was fired for criticizing his university's handling of sexual abuse scandals and anti-semitic behavior by University employees. https://www.thefire.org/tenured-professor-abruptly-fired-aft...

* Northwestern Professor Laura Kipnis's is sanctioned by the university's Title IX tribunal for criticizing Title IX (criticizing Title IX is a violation of Title IX, apparently): https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/laura-kipniss-endle...

* St Johns professor found guilty of violating Bias, Discrimination, and Harassment policies and accused of racism for asking students to weigh the pros and cons of the Columbian Exchange (a standard history question) https://www.thefire.org/teaching-history-not-permitted-st-jo...

* A U Chicago law professor is investigated for a quiz question referencing censored versions of slurs: "n___ and b___" (that's verbatim, the full words were not spelled out on the exam).

Eyeballing it from Wikipedia, the 7-day average is probably about 9 or so. That's skewed because we had 15 reported last Monday, which is an outlier from the daily figures over the last few weeks. It's mostly been varying from 3 to 10 since mid May. Hitting zero isn't too surprising looking at the recent trends, but it does look like it might start going up a bit given recent infection rates.

It hasn't sat back in relation to Airbus in the narrowbody market

It designed the airliner the market wanted in the form of the MAX; it's just that a disastrous design flaw resulted in crashes and resulting groundings and losses of new aircraft orders. Airbus adopted exactly the same conservative strategy of incrementally updating a familiar design for exactly the same solid commercial reasons, but their aircraft didn't crash.

Wanting secure voting is not restricting it. Fighting for rights of the unborn is not a bad thing when you believe they are alive at a certain point before birth (some people are fighting simply for abortion to be banned after birth). Antifa/BLM has done more damage and death in these past years of riots than anything the "right-wing extreme" has done in terms of body count and property damage. What right wing group and what event are you talking about? Jan 6th, the only person who was killed was shot by a cop. Something tells me you just wanted to lay hyperboles down in an unfair way and scuttle away.

Locally, the border issue matters greatly to me and I feel a strong stance is both the moral, economic, and secure choice. We shouldn't incentivize people to make that terrible trip. The cartels make more money off of trafficking humans than drugs. Letting wall parts rust that are already paid for is a stupid move. Complete the wall, it works. It frees up agents to handle other areas and keep the cartels from smuggling and lets more people come in legally.

All that being said, those issues aren't even on the table. Currently the important issues are the 1A and the 2A and the Democrats seem to HATE them, they vehemently support censorship and gun control for law abiding citizens. If you can't even support the first two amendments, how are you going to get my support?

Why don't you search a bit and come back with a link?

Because I can't comment on an RFC I haven't seen, and a quick google search of my own based on your comment turns up nada.

That said - I'm fully aware of the downsides of this approach, but I want my browser to be (to put it crudely) MY FUCKING USER AGENT. I want to be able to allow sharing by default in most cases, and I want a little dropdown menu that shows me the domains a site has listed as friendly/same-entity, and I want a checkbox I can uncheck for each of them.

Then I want an extension API to allow someone else to do the unchecking for me, based on whether the domain is highly correlated with tracking (Google analytics, Segment, Heap, Braze, etc)

The way I see it, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You're conflating trusted computing with there being an OS-manufacturer monopoly over TCB boot keys.

Trusted computing is great if you're an IT admin (or even an "IT admin of one") and you order devices with an open/unsealed boot-key store from your hardware vendor. You can install your own boot keys on your fleet of devices, seal the boot key store, modify OS images/updates to your heart's content, and then sign those modified images with those same keys. Now only the images you've created will run on those computers. People won't even be able to install the original, unmodified OS on those machines; they'll now only ever run the version you've signed.

This isn't just about employees not being able to futz with the MDM. Even the OS vendor won't be able to push updates to your managed devices without your consent. You'll truly have taken control over what code the devices will (or more importantly, won't) run.

In any situation where the person intended to have physical access to the device is not the same as the owner-operator of the device, this kind of thing is essential. Obviously, public-use computers in libraries et al. But also, ATMs. Kiosks. Digital workplace control panels and dashboards. On all of those, nobody's around to monitor the hardware to ensure that someone doesn't just open the back and swap the hard drive out for their own. With TCB, swapping the hard drive out just makes the device not boot.
Just in case, in Sciter if you will add this:

div {
behavior:check;
}

then any div will behave as a checkbox - will toggle :checked flag on element and so we can use:

}

Yes, the fact that, using your metaphor, many people's use of internet is more akin to a castaway drowning in the middle of a busy shipping route than your average road user.
How is that cannibalizing?
This simply doesn't match the facts. For example, the United States ranks near the top of the World Giving Index, which certainly wouldn't happen if "the losers who don't have money are not your problem". Importantly, this is a man-on-the-street level index, not a government spending index, meaning it more or less assesses the charitable attitudes of the people in various countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Giving_Index
This is only true for the US.
We'll always have relationships on top of (and independent of) the tree. I think we shouldn't underestimate what the tree gives us. I.e. in small fraction of cases the tree is maybe a hindrance. But if that hindrance doesn't go away but multiplies without the tree, our hindrance is likely coming from the complexity of our problem, rather than from the tree.
So, they were in a real bind with the 737MAX crashes. Airbus looked likely to take away all new sales, while Boeing had no time to get a replacement ready. Then, the pandemic resulted in a more than year-long delay in most airplane sales.

It appears that Boeing has used this "time out" to...do nothing. They are in more or less exactly the same situation they were in over a year ago. This looks like GM in the late 1970's.
