It isn't that strange. Learning a language natively is an innate human trait that isn't regulated. The symbols we choose to represent for arithmetic (or to write the language, for that matter) must be learned.
The salary number itself yes, but it's only useful when linked to the identity of the employee. And in places with sane privacy laws that's illegal to do without the employee's consent.
I agree for university type education. I've tried to slog through that stuff but could never get far due to lack of motivation. But for DIY and hobbies, it's really demolished barriers to entry. I learnt how to cut down trees from the many tree-cutting YouTube channels, how to build a retaining wall, how to plaster your walls, all sorts of little individual skills that are otherwise hard to pick up without making a career out of it or having the right friends.
Razer's computers are expertly designed to die right when the warranty expires.

The machines look and run great, but they don't last. Mine's a paperweight unless I find a replacement motherboard, or send it in to Razer to get it fixed for ~$300.

Fuck that though. A Thinkpad is a better investment.
And yet modern software is amazingly inefficient and sometimes can be speed by 10x if not 100x - developer's time usually is valued more than performance and quality (and security) of the resulting software.

Lowering of a speed limit to reduce emissions is a similar trade-off - it would increase travel time - a scare resource for many people. I'm not saying it should not be done, but the cost is far from zero.
The title of the article suggests that a speed limit on the autobahn would reduce CO2 emissions.

User-replaceable has nothing whatsoever to do with right to repair.

Zero, zip, nada.

A right to repair law might mandate that any device with a battery also have the battery sold, by the manufacturer, for a reasonable period of time. That gives you a practical right to repair the device by replacing the battery, and it's well-defined.

"User replaceable" is not well defined. Does it mean you need to be able to do this with no tools at all? If not, what tools make it not 'user replaceable'? That no glue is used? Solder?

My watch is literally a cell phone, and I don't welcome law which might make it bulkier or more awkward, to mollify people who want a plastic hinge to pop out their smartphone battery and swap in a new one in the field.

The battery in my smartphone (and watch!) can be replaced by the manufacturer. Right-to-repair is about making sure that the owner of a device can do things themselves or from a third party, without licensing from the manufacturer: so selling consumable parts to all comers, providing some manuals maybe. It is not about whether you have the manual dexterity or special tooling to perform the replacement! If you want to optimize around that part being very easy, buy a product where it is, like the Dragonbox Pyra.
> However, there may be some non-technical downside of using const. First, it increases the verbosity. Even if it’s a 4-letter word that often has the same color as the type (in most IDEs), some people might find this impairing.

While "day trading is an objectively terrible investment strategy" for most, having more people in the market and market participants being more fluid in their investments than not, is strictly more efficient than a market with less participants who act more illiquid in their positions.
German highways are safer than most highways of most neighboring countries anduch safer than German country roads. They are also getting safer every year. And any speed limit will reduce CO2 emissions, that much should be clear.

The real question should be: What kind of virtue signalling is it that demands this (arbitrary) limit of 130kph? On most German highways you can easily go 160 in a modern medium-sized car. Electrical cars have much lower carbon dioxide emissions. So what's the fucking point?

I am really curious to understand why so many people see the absence of a speed limit as such a red flag. No one forces them to drive faster (source: I drive several hundreds of km per month around 120kph). Insurance companies already expect you to stay below 130 to get your full coverage. There are much more dangerous roads with speed limits in Germany. So why this fervor? I can only speculate but it really seems like some form of envy. There are people out there that do something unregulated and to some other people this is completely unacceptable.
Most things that wealthy people want that has to be purchased with after tax dollars, like I don't know a flight to visit a family member, they can pay for just fine out of the pittance they pay themselves in salary.

The real trick they pull is making everything a company. A man building a model rocket at home? That's with after taxed dollars. A man building a rocket to the moon? That's a business. Goes for all sorts of things. At some point you have to say, no, corporations please pay tax as you make it.

No. He wants to be called as the President of the People's Republic of China, but in fact he is the Chairman (国家主席) of China.

Add: another thing you forgot, historically, the PRC head is always called chairman. Have you heard of Chairman Mao? Changing chairman to president is CCP's intentional effort in the word game.
Lol, I'm pretty sure a Court would have difficult time finding that the "purpose" of the cop's use here is one that the fair use doctrine was codified to protect
I am often a bit manic about these things so I need to check my assumptions often. I get the Jazz connection for sure, but Bebop? Bebop was developed in Harlem in the early 1940's. Neal Cassady was a juvenile delinquent in Denver in the early 1940's. He enjoyed the ecstatic release of Jazz, but the fact that he was a speed freak (benzedrine inhalers) may had a far greater effect on his style than anything else. In fact, he may have been the one to introduce Kerouac to amphetamines, which is how he was able to write On The Road in three weeks on a roll of continuous paper. My critic doesn't talk about speed. I don't know much, but then again, it seems like a lot of critics don't either.

"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead."

― Mr.Peanutbutter (Bojack Horseman)
It definitely helps to recognize the following:

(1) Among the set of people currently recognized as "great" - while most of them do have considerable talent, for the vast majority of them, their "greatness" comes from the trifecta of: having talent; being in the right place at the right moment of history (i.e. luck); and having the intuition (and trusting that intuition) to grab that moment by the horns and ride it as far as they can go with it. (In addition to of course working extremely hard, but we all know that part already).

Many titans of industry (e.g. Bezos, Jobs, Gates) clearly excel in all three magic layers of this "trifecta". But the important thing to realize is that it isn't just a matter of talent - luck has a hell of a lot to do with achieving "greatness", especially its rarefied upper strata.

(2) Many who do become "great" do so at considerable personal cost - be it broken interpersonal relationships, negative health consequences; and/or becoming assholes and or white collar criminals.

(3) For every person admitted to the inner sanctum of "greatness" there's a huge, huge number of people who either fail or (more likely) simply opt out - especially when they take stock of the fact that the price of admission likely involves a significant risk of falling the category described in item (2).

(4) Finally the whole "great man" (person, whatever) notion of history is - as any genuinely great person (recognized or otherwise) will tell you - fundamentally bollocks. The vast majority of "great things" that happen do so as the emergent result of many people (sometimes, like in WW II, a great many people) not trying to be "great", but simply doing the right thing -- and having the courage and foresight to put aside their self-interest in doing so.

So in a nutshell... the best way to deal with one's "failure" to become great is to screw the goal of becoming "great" altogether. And to focus more on actions in more in category (4) above... while of course avoiding actions in category (2).
I always wonder how many hours goes into creating & reviewing this big ass document

Thanks for the direct answer.
It is a simple fact that using electric cars is no good if you get the electricity from fossil fuels. And I remember reading that at least some electric cars are not reducing greenhouse emissions even if they are charged with non-fossil electricity. If one does not solve those two issues then we are better of continuing to driving with combustion engines. Also I said not a single word about Tesla.
Uh, wouldn't you have to lower the speed limits from 65 to 5 in order to add an hour to most road trips? Lowering it by 10 miles per hour would only add an hour to trips over 350 miles.
It's as if there's a separate higher state of being one can be in that's not happiness, sadness or anger. It's something akin to being content. But more like, a thing inside you saying "I am ok with being happy when it happens, I am ok with being sad when it happens and I am ok with getting a grey sometimes." It's the acknowledgment that you will feel different emotions throughout your life and you are ready to take them on and grow from them. Sadness or anger aren't bad. They serve a purpose.

> what factors would be relevant to weighing whether or not the video infringes on the copyright?

"As a general matter, copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner." https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-definitions.html

See also a useful FAQ-style article, especially Myth #4: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/intellectual_property_law...

> I guess it’s difficult for me to wrap my head around how there could be infringement without the (intentional?) misappropriation of the work.

Intent isn't a factor in determining whether infringement exists (as opposed to whether a fair-use defense is available). "The U.S. Copyright Act is a strict liability statute. In other words, following a “rule” that you believe to be true but which turns out to be a myth will not excuse you from liability for infringement. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to plead “innocent infringement,” but even that only serves to reduce the amount of damages you may owe and does not excuse your infringement." (From the ABA "Myths" article cited above.)

One thing I've run into, over and over again, is the palliative effects of laughter. I realize that sounds odd, on the face of it, but it's something I keep coming back to in my life.

To illustrate, about a year or so ago, I accidentally smashed my fingers in my car door as I was closing it. To distract myself from the pain, my brain focused on how funny this was, and I started giggling like a madman. It worked! I could barely feel any discomfort as my mind switched over from pain and anger to finding the comedy in my predicament.

Perhaps the answer is simply in switching our awareness of what is happening from negative to positive emotions over time, and building good memories to support our newfound freedom. We can control our emotions, we don't need to be controlled by them.
Do you know what theory that might be?

The difficulty in producing a black hole is getting the energy density high enough. We have no known mechanism to get an energy density that's even close the right order of magnitude.

Maybe you meant that in theory quantum fluctuations might do it? Unfortunately, this is really a non-answer. The probability is so ridiculously low that it's not practicably distinguishable from zero. (It's _vastly_ more likely that every measurement ever taken and that _will_ be ever taken is wrong, than that the event actually happened).
What problem are you trying to solve though? Germany has very low road fatality rates.

It is not illegal to build housing in the vast majority of the US. Building neighbourhoods in existing cities takes city approval. You may want to throw up condos on the waterfront or knockdown low income housing to put up your storefront or build low rises on farms. Those ideas could work but your low rises need millions of dollars of work to get pumping,electrical,fiber. Removing low income housing or building condos in front of the waterfront has tradeoffs for society as a whole you must be weighted.

Most people understand this on some level and are not pissed off.

Installing Linux into a 286 laptop from the year 1989
I have to read into this answer a lot. Would it be accurate to say that the app calculates a "target" respiration rate, then provides visible or audible cues (e.g. a metronome) to tell the user exactly when to inhale/exhale? So the "actual" respiration isn't measured, but that isn't very important as it's quite trivial for a user to follow "inhale now", "exhale now" cues to the necessary degree of precision.

Did I understand that correctly?
