> Why is "stop killing Black people" the wrong goal?

Because it perpetuates a false narrative that police are killing black people en-masse which is not true. It also creates a narrative that other races, including white people could not also benefit from mental health specific support. It focuses on one specific group rather than focusing on the fact that everybody has the problem.

It creates an unneeded divide in people when really it is uncalled for. It could just as easily be focused on everybody. This is why I still think it is silly to focus on one race when it comes to things like these. Because at the end of the day it is all lives that matter when it comes to mental health, not one specific group.

When we focus on support for one specific group that is discriminatory. And that is complete crap. Progress should be focused on benefitting everybody, not giving certain groups advantages based on historical disadvantages. We should be moving forward as a society together, not trying to make up for past issues that the majority of the population weren't even alive for.
>Our whole industry is out to kill technical independence.

Get a grip. The reasons you listed either don't really impede self-hosting, or have more benign explanations than "they're out to kill technical independence".

>CGNAT

Because ipv6 rollout is hard, and even if you do have ipv6 rolled out in your network, you'll still need ivp4 for vast portions of the internet

>ISPs downgrading upload speeds

Because spectrum on the wire is limited, and most consumers download. It's not really logical to allocate the spectrum evenly across upload/download just so a few people self-hosting can benefit to the detriment of everyone else.

>refusal to allocate residential v6 space

I'm presuming you're talking about ISPs that only allocate a /128? It's not really clear how this impedes self-hosting. You just have to set up port-forwarding, which presumably you have tho skills to do if you're the type of person to self-host.

The Dig is one adventure game where these "unfair" puzzles make sense. As an explorer on an alien world, encountering and deciphering alien technology, isn't it completely expected that you have to do some trial and error to understand things. I don't remember the robot puzzle to be too demanding. The alien skeleton was a challenge though.

Agreed that the ending could have been a bit better, but overall the atmosphere and experience of the whole game from the shuttle and asteroid to the alien world were superb. I would love to see a remake of this in the vein of the Monkey Island remakes, perhaps with some tweaks to the ending if that didn't detract from the original.

Discord definitely falls under the “social networking” category, but can definitely used as a social media platform.

The rest is certainly social media.

The difference essentially,

Social media: broadcast a message, share news, showcase your stuff and get people to interact with it: Facebook, insta, tiktok, reddit, HN - not necessarily two-way

Social networking: engage in two-way communication with similar minded people

> Because homosexuality is prohibited in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

This is simply false as a generalization of Judaism and Christianity. For that matter, it seems to be untrue as a generalization of Islam, as well, as their are organized Islamic groups that deny that the anti-gay stance is doctrinally valid, juat as there are in the other two groups.

In all three there is a historical nominal prohibition of homosexuality, in at least Islam and Christianity that got treated a lot more seriously than it was for moat of history sometime in the last couple centuries, and in all three there are modern movements, and both organized groups with distinct clergy that reject the traditional prohibition and movements within organized groups that still uphold the prohibition which nevertheless reject it.

None can claim to be the only one to stick universally to the prohibition without playing No True Scotsman (which, to be fair, religious groups historically do a lot of.)
>They're the world leader in electric cars, for example.

There are about 5 million Norwegians, and 9 million people in New Jersey.

Would anyone care if 1/2 of New Jersey “was the world leader” in electric vehicles, or would you consider that some side effect of other variables?

“Smaller rich country has new vehicles that work well in short ranges” doesn’t really have the same ring to it.
Python importing quirks can be time consuming. Things beginners will encounter:

- three modules cannot depend on each other in a circular way

- relative imports are fragile ("module not found")

- the __all__ definitions in the __init__ file make modules available under different full names

- how to reload a module in a jupyter notebook if edited

and so on.

Spam filtering on your own mail server is easy. 99% of spam are generic automated E-Mails that are sent in bulk with lots of spoofed metadata (domain, sending address, date, etc.). I have an address on a domain that used to be hosted by a third party and it got tons of spam. At some point I moved the domain to my own server with mailcow, and it blocked the vast majority of spam out of the box with no false positives. It uses rspamd, not sure if they have a tweaked config for it or something

Generally I really like mailcow. It makes dealing with all the ugly parts of hosting E-Mail fairly simple

What's strange is that they didn't control for obesity or occupation. It's known that being more obese leads to worse symptoms. It's known that chance of infection is higher among retail workers and such, who have lower IQs than people working from home.

The IQ correlation in this study is:
Covid, no respiratory difficulty: 0.4 IQ point loss
Covid, respiratory difficulty, no home assistance: 1 IQ point loss
Covid, respiratory difficulty, with home assistance: 2 IQ point loss
Covid, hospitalized, without ventilation: 4 IQ point loss
Covid, hospitalized, with ventilation: 7 IQ point loss

Let's ignore the respirator segment because lack of oxygen like that can surely cause problems and I don't think anyone is really arguing against it. Without a before test, the only thing this study can reasonably show (if you call 1IQ point showing anything) is that fat people or cashiers are ever so slightly less intelligent.

Honesty people, I was expecting on the order of 5-10 IQ points from the popularity and activity of this article. An average of 1IQ in a study with no control group and no pre-post test? Come on.
> switching to mental health professionals is specifically because of the injustices inflicted on specific groups and the ensuing protests.

That is completely untrue. As I said in my comment there are many countries who have police departments who have enacted special mental health professionals prior to BLM being a thing as they saw a general need for it in their community. Not because one specific minority group called for it. Instead it is because everybody benefited from it.
I'll admit upfront that I'm not a fan of more legislation but let's look at that.

Lack of documentation: some components are provided with docs under NDA, so you can't get them anyway.

Can't find the components for sale: many components are only sold through approved representatives and their MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) may be in the thousands.

When a watch uses a COB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_on_board) part with the only documentation available in Chinese, you have to accept that it's probably not going to be repairable. And the reality is that that's a common state of consumer products these days.

> You don't even read the resumes of the 2-3 people per week you decide to interview? The resume is what the applicant wants to tell you about themselves. If I apply for a job, I would be sure to read the position description and read up a bit about the company, their work and people.

There's more here to unpack than I have time to so I'll be brief. The recruiter should screen your resume/background. If you're already being asked questions on a call or whatever then the resume has already done its job, in my opinion. I haven't used a resume in the last several jobs I've had, since I just connect through a former colleague and get fast tracked to a phone screen.

Consider the power dynamics in applying for a job. Ideally you, as a candidate, want to exit with a mutually beneficial arrangement. Initially, the employer holds all the cards. You are relatively powerless. Consider if a resume holds information that helps a company hire fairly and hire well. (Beyond "do you work in this field" it does not, in my opinion.)

You have to be a fit for them. Unless it's a two person startup, you're not going to change the company to meet your culture. You are the item being filtered for.

I think there was a misunderstanding.

We do not use System.Text.Json because it doesnt support everything Newtonsoft.Json does. At no point did I intend to make the claim that these were somehow compatible implementations.

Our shop is stuck on Newtonsoft until Microsoft realizes that polymorphic deserialization is actually a really useful thing and not just a pedantic security concern.
In your example there is no consensus as Ousterhout would define it. From the article:

“The second possible outcome is that the poll did not produce a clear consensus. For example, an 80-20 split is a fairly clear consensus, but 60-40 is not a consensus. A 5-2 vote seems on the surface like a consensus, but if all of the votes in the majority were from the Engineering team and both of the votes in the minority were from Marketing then there is no consensus: there's a departmental conflict. If the consensus isn't clear to everyone in the room, it's better to follow the steps below than to pretend that there was a consensus.“

QA, in your example, hasn’t consented. Therefore no consensus.

It’s important to distinguish between consensus and majority rule. They are not the same concepts, though seemingly similar.
Based on previous experience of registering domains for marketing groups, I would suggest that unless you are advertising on the radio and/or television, long name is fine. Short easy to type / remember domains are important if the person only ever hears the domain. Even using short names, one can redirect to the long name domain. Redirects can be useful if you are building a map of discount/promotion codes in URL's. My personal preference is to keep those redirects on the purpose-made short domain, keeping that clutter off the primary domain and out of the marketing groups CMS.
What are you reading that suggests that ignoring climate change is going to cost less than dealing with it?

> A strategy that informs on countries’ potential losses due to lack of climate action may facilitate global climate governance. Here, we quantify a distribution of mitigation effort whereby each country is economically better off than under current climate pledges. This effort-sharing optimizing approach applied to a 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming threshold suggests self-preservation emissions trajectories to inform NDCs enhancement and long-term strategies. Results show that following the current emissions reduction efforts, the whole world would experience a washout of benefit, amounting to almost 126.68–616.12 trillion dollars until 2100 compared to 1.5 °C or well below 2 °C commensurate action. If countries are even unable to implement their current NDCs, the whole world would lose more benefit, almost 149.78–791.98 trillion dollars until 2100. On the contrary, all countries will be able to have a significant positive cumulative net income before 2100 if they follow the self-preservation strategy.

> And maybe higher prices would spur more exploration?

Absent a global ban of hydrocarbon production and use, which would need to be implemented by every country through universal local enforcement, our only chance to reduce global carbon production is by making hydrocarbons uneconomical to produce and uneconomical to use. You are right, unilaterally cutting production in one region would only move production to another region, and global consumers will always use the cheapest energy source that they can get access to. In less-developed countries, there will be little that governments can do to prevent their citizens from burning hydrocarbons if hydrocarbons remain the cheapest form of energy available.

The most effective policies will be those policies that individual countries can implement to impact the economics of hydrocarbon production and use within their borders, and globally. Carbon taxes, for example, that incentivize investment in renewable energy sources and storage and discourage the burning of hydrocarbons. Border taxes that impose penalties on imports from countries that rely too heavily on hydrocarbons in manufacturing or generally within their economies. Infrastructure investments in electricity transmission that link low-cost renewable electricity sources with large electricity markets. Heavy restrictions on the manufacturing and sale of internal combustion engines, and the banning of internal combustion engines in consumer vehicles. Research and development focused on new low-carbon technologies that compete favorably on cost with carbon-heavy production processes, and subsidies to encourage their wide adoption whey they reach near-parity in terms of cost. Foreign aid and technology transfer that work to establish low-cost low-carbon industries in less-developed countries, and which displace local high-carbon industries via price competition.

There are policies that will make hydrocarbons too expensive to use for most purposes. Many of these policies have been tried to some extent, but there has never been a committed and concerted effort to implement all of them. Political focus should be on implementing these kinds of policies, which will actually be effective, unlike the outright banning of hydrocarbon production.

> Unless you in an environment where you literally have to type or provide the decrypting key on each start

The OS may boot up, but one could have the data on a separate volume. Services won't start until that volume is mounted, which could be manual-only. Either LUKS-on-any-FS or encrypted ZFS would work.

With encrypted (Open)ZFS you can actually send encrypted bits remotely: the destination does not need the key to save the bit stream to disk, so you can have a secure cold storage copy of your data.

> There's an even more compelling reason to choose OpenZFS native encryption, though—something called "raw send." ZFS replication is ridiculously fast and efficient—frequently several orders of magnitude faster than filesystem-neutral tools like rsync—and raw send makes it possible not only to replicate encrypted datasets and zvols, but to do so without exposing the key to the remote system.

> This means that you can use ZFS replication to back up your data to an untrusted location, without concerns about your private data being read. With raw send, your data is replicated without ever being decrypted—and without the backup target ever being able to decrypt it at all. This means you can replicate your offsite backups to a friend's house or at a commercial service like rsync.net or zfs.rent without compromising your privacy, even if the service (or friend) is itself compromised.

In that case, one should add the water consumption of growing the alfalfa to that of growing the cash crop directly, and similarly add whatever value (monetarily or otherwise) the alfalfa has to that of the cash crop - in other words, consider them together as a unit of production.
