This is how liberal policies of Oakland, California will decide how to educate their children [PDF]: https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11...

I am not convinced, at all - this is coming from a liberal who has voted for every democratic candidate since age 18.
Is a good journalist supposed to hint revealingly with a nod and a wink and compromise their source?

Isn't the whole point that they supposed to play coy?
Whether we look back at this moment as fantasy or the beginning of something truly changing won't be the result of some deterministic historical process. It's up to us. Call your congressman, your senator. Meet with coworkers and discuss this stuff. Post shit on the internet and challenge yourself and others to think differently. Go out into the world, even if individual actions are tiny or barely perceptible.

The key thing about the world is that someone made it this way. I have to believe that it can be made differently.
It's the financialization of economies as a form of Monetary Policy 'Supply Side' support.

Home prices and valuations are skyrocketing is a different kind of inflation, just not the one we're used to. Regular inflation is hitting hard due to COVID etc. so we're going to see the populist result of that soon.
Which part do you want to dive deep? High minimum wages? Or universal health care?

Australia has both, and a smaller gdp/capita than the US. Happy to dive as deep as you like.

On both front, Australia still has effective unions with political representation, and thus corporate interests don’t always win. That’s the main difference with the US.
What could they possibly gain from it that they don't get from data mining they do openly that's worth the inevitable lawsuits from SLA'd companies when it came out?
The EU has a larger population and land mass than the US. The EU has similar universities, mature financial systems and a common cultural heritage (Western Civ) with the US. Why is the EU not an economic and military superpower?
I don't think it is unusual for a politician to be in support of a general policy while objecting to a specific implementation and/or expansion of that policy.

And yes, the existence of the emails played a role in how people voted or whether they voted regardless of the content. I mean there was the whole pizzagate thing that was obviously independent of the actual substance of the emails.

Is the static friction what is going on with wheels? Why do race cars (dragster, F1, etc) have wide, smooth (un-knobby) tires if it's so disadvantageous (no gain, but higher weight and moment of inertia)?
> incredibly rare for a man-in-the-middle attack to take place at the ISP level in the US.

Comcast and other ISP's would love to have a word with you with their injecting JavaScript to warn you about going over your alloted data usage... same for various other providers that injected ads, or man in the middled YouTube connections (T-Mobile) to reduce the quality delivered over their network or the hidden CDN's to reduce interconnect load...

ISP's have "managed" their networks in a variety of ways, and a lot of those "techniques" were straight up hijacking your original request.

ERCOT again asks Texans to reduce electric use
That's bullshit. In Austria (similar to Germany and Switzerland in many regards), plenty of small specialized privately owned companies are actively fighting to erode worker's rights (greed has no culture and knows no borders).

A couple o years ago, local industry lobby groups got the government to legalize the 12h workday and one top company I interviewed for had a time punching device next to the coffee machine so that employees could punch out during a coffee break as the company considered coffee breaks as non-working time for the employees and did not count to your 8h/day working time, just like your lunch break.
It is a barrier, but not a huge one, assuming you're talking about software. Translation is pretty cheap, all things considered. For consulting businesses and employees it's a different story, obviously. The real problem, particularly in the B2B space, is that if you build something for nation X, that solution might not work, be relevant or even legal in nation Y.
I agree about nutrition, that's a great point.

I'm half with you and half not on point 3. I've been working out for a long time, and I still need to refresh myself and review stuff quite often. Maybe my memory is terrible. I also want to be certain I'm getting form right and using all exercises I do as productively as possible though, so I feel the research is warranted in many cases.

I don't mind doing it, my health is worth it. I suppose this is my point though: In programming, I need to research constantly, but the internet is full of bad ideas and red herrings and half truths when it comes to solving all kinds of problems. Fitness is a little more cut and dry in some regards, but the misinformation and low quality is similarly very widespread. I'm very tired of the sifting and sorting, and I'd LOVE to have a resource I knew to come back to for all manner of things fitness. Many things try to be that, but they tend to fail in my experience.

I disagree on 4 - I've become a strong proponent of warm ups as I've gotten older. I focus a lot on locking in good form using lighter movements, loosening up, and getting acquainted with how my body feels that day. I don't think it's only an asset in injury prevention, but also in keying into your performance and how your body's feeling. Definitely less critical for young ones, but I've found it to improve my time at the gym very consistently.

Like nutrition though, we've all got a different set of preferences and needs. If you don't feel like you need a warm up and your track record proves it, I'd skip it. What I'd like to see though is the ability to insert a warm up I love into a routine I do as though it's part of that routine. Then it's very take it or leave it, but supports the shitty inflexible tree people like me who need to be coerced into moving their bodies.
An idea for you - consider an electric tanked with a drain water heat recovery unit. Even lower energy usage than a tankless, and while you can still run out of hot water the DWHR significantly accelerates the re-heating. The DWHR unit should last basically forever.

This is what I did, been very happy. Total cost wasn't more than $1,600 (DIY). Tankless is a nice idea but was just too complicated to ever pay for itself as a retrofit.

If you’re going a short distance: No, it doesn’t matter.

For a longer ride or a trail ride, the loss from the tires adds up. One extra MPH means a lot when you’re doing a multiple hour ride at an average of 10-15MPH.

Tire pressure influences rolling resistance significantly on larger tires. I’ll some times increase pressure on longer rides or for uphill portions. Lower pressures have more traction, so I’ll let air out for the downhills.

It doesn’t seem like much, but everything adds up as you push into longer and higher effort rides. Non bikers roll their eyes when we talk about saving small amounts of weight, for example, but it makes a difference over time with less weight to throw around. Again, you won’t notice on short rides around town but when you’re spending tens of hours every week on the bike in increments of 1-3 hour rides, it’s worth optimizing these things.
There is a difference between "playing coy" and defaming a dead person by implying they committed a crime. Denying Seth Rich as the source wouldn't have revealed the actual source.

Plus it was more than "playing coy". For example, they promised a reward for people who came forward with info on Rich's death. Why do that if they had no relation to him?
I just wanted to use this as an opportunity to call out what I believe to be the finest song about Mary Mallon, by the finest musical act named after Mary Mallon...

The article does make a reference to casteism in SV perpetuated by indian expats, unrelated to the rest of the piece.
That bigger is always better seems to be a concept culturally possibly most valued in the US.

But what if the “bigger is always better” mantra is actually wrong? (Many fallen empires come to mind.)

Maybe it’s an overall healthier state of affairs to have less concentration of power?

So maybe Europe is just fine?
Yes, please! Also curious about preferences for other related equipment - backpacks etc.
"you" and clients connecting to your server might be different entities.
I hiked the northern half of the trail a couple years back. You should expect to spend $1,000/month at a minimum for a good experience. I spent $2,000/month and felt like I was living large. (I'd eat like a pig at every hotel/bar/restaurant I entered when arriving into a town. Most people lose weight on the trail; my weight stayed the same.) Expect your gear to cost around the same as your monthly budget.
> How long are we going to keep inflating stocks and houses 2x in a year?

Totally agree, there are things about modern fiscal policy that seem scary and weird! But that is pretty much unrelated to...

> We are forced to play that pointless game, when really that is what a simple bank savings account should do.

I don't think is true. Granted, savings accounts used to have higher returns, but inflation was higher then. It has never been possible to preserve money (i.e. beat inflation) with no risk, nor to grow money without more risk; it's just that the specific investments look different nowadays.

Anyway, to put it bluntly, the goal of central bank planners is not to preserve your savings, it's to grow the economy. And what happens if mid-to-upper people get spooked by a recession, and move assets in to cash? That's deflationary, which prolongs the recession! So if low interest rates make you think, "Gah, I'd like to pile up cash in a savings account, but these bankers are forcing me to go invest it", well, guilty as charged, yes that's exactly what they're trying to do. But I don't think it follows that they're mean jerks, or that they're doing their jobs wrong.
Haha yeah, photoshoots are definitely not the first thing in our mind, but seems like there's real need for it.

You cannot demand salary to be raised without understanding business will be looking elsewhere to fulfill business needs , and will be outsourcing actual labor.
Business that can't be outsourced in such conditions (restaurants, hospitality) will be forced to shut down when outsourceable business lays out local workers and replaces them with someone half a world away.
I'm guessing it's a Zpacks Duplex, it's basically the favorite tent of any through-hiker for the last couple years: https://zpacks.com/products/duplex-tent They are very well designed and built--100% DCF so they're strong and light, yet great resistance to weather. Unlike most other UL shelters it makes almost no sacrifices and has all the niceties of heavier shelters, like a full floor and interior mesh, big vestibules, etc. And it packs up into an impossibly small size and weight in your pack.
Honestly, go try biking by only pulling up.
You don't pull up.
I enjoy node-red[1], considered low-code.
There's a trade off between abstraction and simplicity, I fell that the low code marketing is targeting people that wants to start using the product/services as fast as possible, inpatient to read documentation, or lean a programming language, just want start doing and node red is great for that, if you want quickly prototyping or testing some iot logic.

I used to use low code for create games,as gamemaker, easy to start, but at the end they all look the same and you quickly find that has nothing better than text for dealing with abstraction

Are you sure about that? If I boil water in my kitchen on my gas stove the CO2 and VOC levels in our living area nearly triple within 15 minutes of using the stove without burning any food.

If I use the electric kettle there's obviously zero change in air quality.
In this article, "slower" clearly means "slower [when putting the same amount of power in]". Or, equivalently, "need less power to get the same speed". Of course any tires are the same speed if you adjust the power input to compensate.

This is basically a pipe dream unless people radically change the way they consume power.

Peak energy consumption is typically around dusk, so driven primarily by home consumption not industry. Convince people not to use air conditioners after 4pm and maybe we would be able to match supply to demand.

Moreover, even if we all started sitting in our hot dark houses after work we'd still have an extremely variable supply which would mean more robust infrastructure to transmit less overall power.
I would argue that "designed for [off] road mix" is pretty charitable. A 500-pound dirt bike with a comfortable seating position wins the tough-aesthetics competition, but off road performance is meager at best. I built decent off-road skills on a DL1000, but the weight was always such a liability as to make it impracticable. I moved to a smaller and lighter bike and have more fun, but 99% of people I met in Arizona are happy with their big ADV bikes— with zero interest in going off road.

I think the most interesting take-away is that there is a segment of people who value being given an excuse for something rugged— I heard lots of "I just like the peace-of-mind that I could go anywhere if I needed to" whether they believe themselves or not.
Yeah, that's why the "rod's from god" idea for an orbit to ground kinetic weapon (which is the same problem just in reverse) used tungsten rods the size of telephone poles, and even those would slow down by 5 km/s as they pass through the atmosphere.
No, as everyone (including your ISP) can setup a DoH/DoT server. What is a problem though is a lack of discoverability. Right now you need to manually configure DoT/DoH. Or you are Mozilla and force the decision.
It's hard to assume a centrist's opinions on these things. Anecdotally, the centrists I know and talk to regularly are entirely aligned with the left on those issues.

Centrists don't pick the middle of every issue, they pick issues from both sides they agree with.

For example, a centrist may be FOR universal healthcare and AGAINST gun control. Or FOR lower taxes all around and FOR $15 min wage.

Taking each issue as it's own instead of aligning with one party or another on all issues is what a centrist is, to me.

Edit: I'm a self admitted centrist. Feel free to ask questions on my views if you'd like more info.
You didn't really say what was in them that you found valuable, unless I missed it? What important truths did they reveal?

Okay, but then you're welcoming well-funded nations to spend outsized money and effort on attacking whatever candidate they will get the least from. How does that not devolve into our elections just being playthings of our enemies?

What is ironic about this? I also do not think that the US should meddle in foreign elections, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this.
Not OP, but I have an MSR Hubba Hubba NX that is pretty amazing. I've had several backpacking tents over the years and its my favourite.
This isn't a problem to fix. Internet businesses don't have an absolute right to your identity.

The government (in the US at least) does offer some form of identity services like everify for employment.
Neat idea! Do you plan to notarize the binary?
So, part of the point of the Rene Hearse tires is that they’re as supple as they can possibly make them. They are producing essentially the same best tire that they can in a huge range of sizes.

(Well, at least until they started doing endurance casing and knobbies, so now it’s more like 4 of the best tires they can, aimed at slightly different target users/races)
Just to add to this topic, usually Reed Solomon codes are interleaved with Turbo codes or LDPC.

The reason is this: Reed Solomon corrects entire symbols, but can only correct so many symbols per block. LDPC and Turbo correct single bit errors. If you have a lot of single bit errors, mixed with completely corrupt blocks, it's best to use both.

Interleaving usually mixes the bits around too, to spread long chains of errors out between symbols.

This setup is used in digital radio, 3G, CD and DVD, DSL, etc
The support person said it was due to "Standby power". It seems extremely bogus to me TBH.
Stealing from Jeremy Howard on twitter -

"The 5 largest companies in the US are all computer software/hardware.

Australia's largest company is in mining, and 4 of the next 5 are banks.

Australia really needs to join the modern world..." [1]

On top of this you haven't compared -

1. The quality of life difference between minimum wage workers in those countries
2. The quality of health care between these countries
3. Median house hold income (not everyone is on minimum wage)
4. Differences in taxes and "net" pay
5. The differences in the makeup of the economies and conditions of jobs

Honestly the factors are endless and I am not going to spend more time enumerating them all.

You don’t need to know “how computers actually work” to write code in high-level languages. Those are too abstracted away from the hardware and OS.

PHP and JS are not considered low-quality languages. They are low-hanging fruit for amateurs to write low-quality software. Yes, people who don’t really know what they’re doing can make money with PHP and JS, just like people who don’t know about food, cooking, nutrition can run a restaurant. That’s not really a good argument for low-code, though.
Ireland is not a British isle. Irish police are unarmed and the country is not a surveillance state. However, there have been some high profile cases of murders committed by drug gangs who have used encrypted phones to put their communications beyond scrutiny / use in evidence. Ireland is a democracy and the public is perfectly able and willing to change govt if it sees fit (and it does so regularly). I think you'll find that in Ireland the people wonder WTF is wrong with the US that it could elect a cretin like Donald Trump to its highest office, denies healthcare to its citizens, tolerates vote suppression, electoral gerrymandering, mass shootings, endless racially motivated police assassinations, unlimited corporate expenditure in political campaigns etc. Ireland is fully signed up to the EU's GDPR which puts citizen's data rights on a far firmer footing than those of Americans.
I am not sure that's the whole picture. I don't care about leetcode type problems but if I was applying for a job where they were a barrier to entry, I'd go figure out what it takes to master them.

The bar may simply be "sober enough to understand what it takes to succeed at this task", "committed enough to prepare" and "smart enough to solve them"

These attributes correlate strongly with success, I'd imagine.
That slippery slope is a byproduct of their subreddit social mechanic combined with a polarized political climate.

If the sub leans 60/40 one way, the minority group will see all their posts being downvoted, and gradually leave. As more leave, the downvote pressure on the remaining few gets more intense, and they leave too, until you're left with a veritable echo chamber.
Everyone with a propane grill—which is, like, every other house around here—already has a propane tank. You can go swap them out with full tanks at many grocery stores, when they're empty. It's pretty cheap—I'm not sure, but I wouldn't bet on electric being cheaper to cook with than propane. There are conversion kits for gas stoves. And yes, you're right, that's exactly what anyone out in the country with a gas stove already does (as you note, they've got those big propane tanks outside the house that get refilled every so often).

[EDIT] natural gas (not propane) is definitely cheaper to heat with, here, than electric. All the HVAC guys don't even recommend heat pumps to supplement the furnace. They recommend putting the money toward higher-efficiency AC and gas furnace instead. They say they're good on paper but more expensive in practice, in our climate (Midwest). Outright electric heating is crazy expensive (I've had it, with a very new furnace even, and it was terrible, was paying a high premium for mediocre heating).
I've been sleeping in Hilleberg tents for probably close to a year of my life. They are very robust at a great (though not ultra-light) weight. I own a Jannu and a Keron 3 GT.
Translation for software is cheap, but internationalisation can be tricky - different languages have vastly different rules. Europe's not too bad here though.

There are other costs though - such as support. In the US you can grow pretty well with a large market providing support in one or maybe two languages. In Europe, you need to provide support in English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish... and there's more besides, and some tricky local dialects.

edit: also the cost of maintaining translation as you grow or make changes means it's not a one-off cost, it's a constant extra burden - even if it's not a huge one. For a larger business it's plenty doable, for a small startup (especially a non-funded one) it's very difficult.

edit 2: also I'm meaning mostly western/central/northern Europe. If you go further east things get trickier still.
