Most people in the world don't seem to have any problem with distinguishing North-America-the-Continent from North-America-the-Region depending on context. For example in my native tongue there's not even a way of phrasing them differently. Yet humans can somehow disambiguate the two just fine.
Not really.

The parent to my original post identified a problem, but misdiagnosed the root cause and prescribed an incorrect solution.

As noted above a lot of poles are owned by power companies that do not offer broadband service. Furthermore exclusive franchises have not been permitted for a good while anymore.

Anybody with the correct permits can secure space on poles. This isn’t the issue. Part of the problems is how costs are assigned and how timely work progresses.

Who owns the pole isn’t the big issue.

My guess though is that most of these apps haven't been updated for years.
Such a truly enriching riposte. It will take me eons to unpack it.
The implied topic of my comment was programming languages, where your punctuation characters really do matter. So much so in some languages that a single misplaced " " can really ruin your day.

We are so short of semantic operators that languages start to use single letters like "s", "q", " u" as operators or modifiers - which I find ugly (although the best compromise).

I have experienced how the wrong Unicode character can ruin my day - but that is what tooling and editors and best practice are there to help with.

Keyboards are the main problem now I think (in the past it was your OS, your editor, and your tooling). I regularly type Unicode characters from my handheld devices, but hardly ever from my qwerty entry devices (I can't easily find ¡, ∆, ↑ or ç as examples).

"oh no"

(You're not really engaging the points raised and I find the low-key threat hilarious, so no, I won't be responding further.)
Win10 is fine for most people, and each benefit of Win11 can seem a little "niche", but lots of people will fit into at least one of those little niches. Gamers in particular, who have gotten perfectly acceptable performance out of e.g. Ryzen 1x00 CPUs, will need to upgrade to get the most out of their fast SSDs or other features like Auto HDR.
Lufthansa does, 747-8s though.
If Windows 10 didn't convince you, nothing will.
I hope the public backlash against Microsoft is large enough that they revert there ridiculous system requirements. Requiring TPM 1.2 is sort of reasonable I guess. But TPM 2.0. You've got to be kidding me.

Also enabling secure boot is a pain in the ass for users that dual boot, because in Linux, to load a custom compiled kernel module you have to sign it first and do a whole lot of mumbling around to get it working. Just try to install Virtualbox with secure boot enabled. I get the security concern, but why not let users install whatever they want on whatever hardware they want? Come on Microsoft, it's not like you don't already have a working kernel with arguably the best support in terms of drivers in the whole personal computing market.

Also their "supported CPUs" list is a fucking joke. Why would they cut off first gen AMD Ryzen, for example when all Zen CPUs have full TPM 2.0 support built into the AMD PSP. The Ryzen 2000 chips they list as a minimum are basically the same in terms of features and very similar in performance to the previous gen. Zen+ is a slight improvement over Zen that didn't introduce any groundbreaking features to warrant such a cutoff point. Or are you gonna tell me that an Athlon 3000G will run Windows 11 better than a first gen Threadripper?

Get your head out of your ass Microsoft, otherwise you'll be stuck with another Windows Vista.
Sounds like cookie theft. Unfortunately there's no practical way for sites to bind a device identifier cookie to a specific device, so your actual machine and a different machine to which your cookie jar has been exfiltrated to can't be reliably distinguished.

As for how your cookies were stolen, the best bets are either malware or a dodgy browser extension. That's also how they had your password. If you changed the password from the infected machine rather than a different one, there's a good chance the attacker has the new one as well.
That is not what this article is about. These people took jobs that HAD defined pension plans. They took the jobs based on those promised pensions, and planned their savings around the amounts promised.

Then, the pensions went bankrupt and failed to pay what they promised.

This is not people failing to plan for the future. This is people having what is promised them revoked.
I see you can cherry-pick but can you address the many many other valid points I raised?

Also, explain how a bank that is only open during banking hours say 8 hours/5 days per week/250 days per year is better for consumers than a system open 24 hours/7 days per week/365 days per year. How is that a feature for the consumer?
At least call it frob_score.
That's a good point. I was thinking about similarity between tomatoes and eggs, where a free range egg, especially where the farmer let's the chickens have the run of the farm, have much brighter and deeper colored yolks. I had understood this to relate to the chickens diet and the nutrition of the egg. So I imagined deeper brighter red tomatoes to be similarly more nutritious. It could be different mechanisms though, or maybe neither is more nutritious, they just look nicer.
Please give an example of how they could have written it.
I grew up in Hamilton, Waikato, until high school when my family moved to Australia.

My Dad taught math at the teachers college and my Mother worked at the University as a faculty secretary, so I was in and amongst University life.

I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I had stayed and gone to Uni there.
The article kind of contradicts itself by bringing up this point, then later saying that people make a lot of impulse purchases and the average trip costs $16. I don't doubt that your anecdote is true, but it seems to not be the typical case.
lol. what’s next? you used terraform and it was awesome?
FWIW because of how unison works, you get a lot of the benefits of version control without using any proper version control. Probably for small, single dev projects version control would just be redundant.

That's not to say this isn't a limitation the project will need to overcome to be useful, just a caveat.
I arrived at the same realization as you--having sales as a skill is beneficial no matter the career path a person is on.

As developer of ~10 years experience, the path I took to get sales experience was to take a job as a sales engineer for a technical product in my software domain. It is the best career decision I have made so far.

My fear was that I would lose my technical knowledge, but I quickly realized that was not the risk I thought it was. I am consistently challenged by the breadth and depth of questions posed by each customer based on their unique needs. As a sales engineer, I learn more in my technical domain than I did at my last humdrum dev job.

And on top of that, of course, I get exposure and practice in this other side of the business and set of skills that was previously an enigma to me.

For me, sales engineering is the best of both worlds.
> But in reality, dollar stores are what poor people want.

No, they really don't. They want high quality goods just like everybody else. Poor people also want food with good nutrition. But they aren't able to afford those things because the modern interpretation of capitalism is "exploit the poor to the maximum possible extent." You can be against this without being anticapitalist.
> cleaning supplies

Yikes! Cleaning supplies and medical stuff are things I will _never_ buy from a dollar store. Most of the cleaning chemicals have more fragrance than active ingredients, they never work well but the place smells like you cleaned like mad. I have to assume the medical stuff is just as poor quality, but I have no way of assessing it.

It also bothers me that a lot of the cleaning products are packed in bottles shaped like drink bottles; an illiterate or merely distracted person could be in for a nasty surprise.

We agree on the food, for sure. It never _says_ it's expired, but it tastes ten years old.

One thing I always get at the dollar store is lint traps. The big box charges 3x the price for an absolutely equivalent product. Lint traps and office supplies. I don't think I've ever bought envelopes or binder clips anywhere else.
The sure thing for a novel virus, as I understood, is an inactivated vaccine.

For everything else, you are never sure if the biotech tricks, with all their intricacies, will work in that individual case.
You still get 4 years with 10.

The Intel 8th gneration was introduced in 2017. So people who bought a computer in 2016 can still push it to ~9 years of service life, which is pretty good for an average Windows computer if they manage to do it. I imagine your average Windows consumer will have replaced a computer once already in that span once all the installed crap has stalled the computer to inoperable speeds.

This honestly doesn't really strike me as a major issue. Especially since smartphones have like less than three years of security fixes on average.
It is true and substantiated, and detailed in the Mueller report. Just because you don't like these facts don't make them false.
In the world where every store is trying to work you for whatever profit can be made, at least a Dollar Store is relatively transparent about what they're selling, and straightforward about it. And offering basics that people can afford.

I tried to find a plastic water spray bottle in Target, Walmart, etc. for spraying water on plants or like while ironing. Every option was a fancy-fied designer spruced up version for $8 looking like it was aimed at the "Real Simple" market. I could've bought a spray bottle full of sink cleaner for $3 and emptied it out for the bottle, and saved money.

At least you can go to the $1 store and find this and not get ripped off under the guise of "style and design for the busy mom" at 10x what it should cost.
I expected it to be available on RaspberryPI.
lumber is used in construction. no construction? less housing. less housing? more rent.
I’m a big fan of systemd, but we’ve definitely run into actual bugs in it. Especially the early RHEL7 days (7.0-7.3). Some were fixed upstream, some we’ve worked around, etc.
Because anybody with sense prefers eating food to popping pills.

We're talking about computers that (officially) cannot run Windows 11. Obviously they won't be auto-upgraded.
My understanding is that “effectiveness” in these studies means that it is x% effective at preventing covid-19. So comparing these numbers is not the most important thing. Most all of the vaccines on the market are very, very effective at stopping death and hospitalization, which is the most important thing.
That wouldn’t work if the person’s computer doesn’t support Windows 11, though, which is the entire argument the blog post is making. That because windows 11 won’t work people will just throw away their computers and create more electronic waste.
Having BDs in the calendar, so you could send a happy birthday message is fine. Having an automated message sent without your doing anything and even thinking about it - is not. There's a big difference.
Quite a nice project I was not aware of. I tried vic20 demos too and they are far decent.

Also it seems possible to create independent code at some extent at least.
The TPM combined with secure boot will only unlock the disk if nothings been tampered with, meaning your OS security is intact. If you switch off secure boot or mess with the kernel or boot loader it’ll just refuse to unlock.

I would guess extracting the keys from the tpm in other ways is not impossible, but probably sufficiently hard to be not worth it in most situations.
Thanks for sharing - this would be easier to read if you didn't make it sound like everyone should be doing this all of the time. Yes, a carnivore diet will probably bring lots of benefits to many people.
At the same time I want to remain open to other lifestyles and tweaks which maybe don't fit into just one category. I want to eat out of choice, not out of habit.
Put another way, one might say he borrowed from the future to save the present.
Having worked in large manufacturing facilities that cost billions, there is almost a comical and blatant tribalism that kicks in between workers/teams simply because they are located in different sites. The Chinese sites talk down on Vietnamese factories. Texas factories gawk at the ones located in Massachussetts. I think this happens in non-manufacturing industries as well (Microsoft org chart anyone?), but I've seen that the bonds between workers are stronger when they get together and build something like a giant aeroplane. Leadership has a hardtime navigating the waters, especially if something critical (safety) has been neglected. It is easy to look at this in union/non-union differences, but it's not so simple. I would question the leadership and the way they inspire people to build something together. I suspect this is what's lacking at Boeing and once the culture of not caring about quality kicks in, it is difficult eradicate toxicity from this culture.

There is almost an obsession to find out if your BMW was manufactured in South Africa or Germany, the latter being desirable, on BMW enthusiast forums despite of being made with exacting specifications and factory processes.
> WikiLeaks withheld around 15,000 reports to protect informants.

The accusation was that the Afghan documents were not sufficiently redacted, but they were redacted. The Iraq War documents, released later, were more heavily redacted.
I don't think it's a silly argument at all. Windows 10 will meet its EOL in 2025, meaning that our computers only have 4 more years left in them (or you switch to something like linux, but that's not really an option for most people for obvious reasons). This will make the computers unattractive on the second-hand market. IMO a computer should be serviceable for longer than 7 years.
Bioimpedance is able to find skin cancer in the early stages
It's afaict a necessary decision, since unison is designed around the possibility of having multiple versions of the same function referred to be the same name.
Also, can be hard to reach out to everyone and let them know that they need these pills. Many might not know what "magnesium" is?

It's simpler to add iodine to salt -- and maybe magnesium to the soil
Are you sure you interacted with a legit Chase website and phone number?

Your post didn't specify how you did those things, so just making sure. A lot of phishing/spear phishing attacks work best because their victim is in a state of panic and not thinking clearly.

They serve up something believable—perhaps interactive—based on whatever data they have on you, and then get more information in the process.
My source on that number is from the Wikipedia article:

That other countries have also engaged in colonialism, doesn’t mean we have to support it, especially modern day colonialism.

We won’t agree on a solution or even the problem, but my point in this particular case is you can be against Israel as a geopolitical entity and not be anti-Semitic.
I’m not arguing against these findings but the whole subject of nutrition leaves me frustrated at times.

Ever tried to have 100% daily recommended intake of every nutrient? I suspect almost nobody achieves that.

And yet, despite this, and magnesium issues among likely many other issues, our species has never lived longer, grown taller, survived infancy, etc. more than we have now.

That being said, as we understand and overcome specific issues, I imagine we can become even healthier.
I never believed in getting nutrients (besides the calories) from the actual food. Supplementation is necessary.
Funny, that there is a big push to have plant based meat replacements and promotions of vegetarian or vegan diets in the media.
I was given a fraud hotline # when I had problems. The people at this number were very helpful: 800-955-9060. If that doesn't work, tweet about it. Companies hate that and in fact, that's how I solved my problem.
Strong evidence? Good luck with that. However, if a service costs millions per month to even exist and yet it is free to use, something does not add up. Or do you honestly believe that there is such thing as “free lunch”?
Sorry to barge in into the thread, but regarding the isotopes with current pop-out style: As a person who lately started collaborating with NMR people I think it will be nice if one can filter them by half-life/abundance (e.g. to filter out anything that has natural abundance of 0 or below x), and then look at magnetic/quadrupole moment to see if resonance people can measure it).

But anyways, thanks for all the work you've done! I've been using it daily for the past 10-11 years, it is a great resource :D
What they’ve done to your meat and dairy is far far worse.

Go vegan, eat your fruits and veggies, and supplement with a multivitamin.
Why has wood gotten so expensive? It's not like this stuff grows on trees! Oh, wait....
I wonder what the source of the nutrition information on FDA labels is. They're not assessing every batch of produce. Is the information we're told about the vitamins and minerals in our broccoli based on crops from last year? A decade ago? A century ago? Is it possible we think we're eating twice as many nutrients as we actually are?
The TPM gets the measurements of the state of the system during different phases of the boot process, and only releases the key if those measurements match.

It's also designed to not be able to be able to extract the key material out of it.
While overall agree, Windows 10 will be supported until 2025. By then any device without TPM 2.0 support would be at least 10 years old, right?
Just like your healthcare, if laws and incentives affecting your retirement are dependent on someone's else's decisions about where to allocate and how much of the resources you worked so hard to obtain, then you're living under an illusion of independency.
Personlly, I'm just disappointed windows 11 isn't a Linux fork.
No way I'm throwing out my Mac or Linux boxes for the trash they just demonstrated. (and its been 2 years since I had anything more than a win 7 VM now)
Those DIY projects, increase in home improvement, and increase in housing demand has been due to the changes in people's consumption patterns because of changes in people's work patterns due to the pandemic.
That's great, but microarchitectural sidechannels in all modern hardware allow a program to read every byte in its entire address space.
It isn’t irresponsible. Nobody is going to hurt themselves with a carnivore diet. I have tested it on myself so how could I be irresponsible for getting the word out about something I have done to my own body?
This is why, countrary to common belief, vegetables that are sold frozen are higher quality than fresh ones. My brother works in the industry and says if you can buy whole (with certain exceptions) and frozen, you have the best.
Windows 10 support goes through 2025. And they will prob do a forced security patch so you should be good until 2027ish.
Releasing new CPUs doesn't make older ones unusable; making an OS incompatible with them without good reason does.

The article wording might not be the best, still it's spot on: users whose software will require Windows 11 (or simply who won't feel like going back after upgrading) will be forced to ditch their system, which in a world dominated by Windows, therefore many users with the same problem, is a lot more likely to turn into trash rather than sold as used.
yes, cleaning surfaces regularly (but not excessively) is good for a variety of reasons, but not for covid. the airflow concern is also overblown though. you really just need modest distancing indoors (or masks, absent modest distancing). no need for fancy airflow handling. covid isn't a robust virus that, as it's tiny water-bubble craft rapidly evaporates, quickly falls apart outside the body (similar to why surfaces aren't a concern).
Depends on your definition of "poor soil". It may actually be due to too good soil, the plants grow too fast and the micronutrients get diluted.
Do you purchase a lot of products you see advertised?

GP's comment reads as a cheesy infomercial sales pitch, full of confidently stated BS.
Soooo, the people who can't install Windows 11 will continue to not care?

I don't understand the logic of your response. It's not like Microsoft will brick machines not eligible for Win 11

Whenever I go to Lowes, I always like to go by the lumber section (even when I'm not there for lumber) just to see how warped the dimensional lumber is. It's always a depressing experience.
Wow, are people seriously still fussing about this? Systemd made the call to use a more secure default, they should be applauded for it. People who want the insecure way to be the default should take it up with their distro.
Just out of curiosity: would you like to share with us your previous experiences trying out volunteer positions?

Could be a cultural or geographic difference, but here in Brazil I've never heard of anyone being turned down from a volunteer job unless it required a very specific skillset (e.g. medical/nursing volunteering).
One thing I have noticed over the years is that I am addicted to the taste of Costco’s Kirkland signature bottled water (similar to Dasani but nothing like bottled “spring water”)

One hypothesis I have is that my body is craving magnesium, which is one of the “minerals added for taste”.
"in" and "since" is somewhat different. Do Chinese have a claim on China? Do Japanese have a claim on Japan? Are Spaniards OK to live in Spain? Are Jews ok to live in Judea?

Looks like for all of these questions the answer is "duh, yes for sure" - except for the last one. I wonder...
Nothing worse than if your manager screws up and loses everything, which is far more likely. Especially since the criteria for choosing who's going to manage these massive funds is going to be gamed.
The voters elected people who made that promise. Of course taxpayers are on the hook for promises made by politicians.

The taxpayer DID get something for this. They got public employees who took less money up front in return for a good pension. This saved the taxpayers money in the short term.

Under your argument, is the government not required to keep ANY promise? “The government should never have promised to pay back these treasury bills. Taxpayers don’t get anything from redeeming them, we shouldn’t pay off any of the government debt!”
Remind me how well typewriters worked in Japan and China
Grass fed liver is high in that and many other things and they aren’t given any supplement as far as I know.
That's hilarious! Thanks.
Is there something similar but in python or rust or go? Not really keen on reading C.
Those failures are all going to happen anyway, because the underlying promises were always unsustainable. The question is whether or not we're happy declaring today's 70-year-old public officials the winners and today's kids the losers.
