But New York isn't just Brooklyn either. The rest of the city and the state (especially the state) are cratering. Brooklyn, or at least the wealthy, fashionable parts can keep their heads down and act like things are great for a while but eventually poor conditions in the city will reach them.

And people will leave.
This is not just in America. Alongside vaccination hold outs is the weariness of lockdown and government ineptitude, it makes people less likely to adhere to rules that they have previously stuck too and supported.
It is possible to compete with China on things that require special knowledge and are rarely needed. "Special knowledge" because China doesn't have the local skills to produce it (yet). "Rarely needed" because China didn't prioritize acquiring said knowledge. Case in point: Germany mostly exports production machinery (rarely needed, last forever, very special knowledge) and luxury automobiles (rarely needed, last quite some time, some special knowledge needed (mostly on how to appear "luxury")).

But in general, I firmly believe that western nations with high social, environmental, legal standards cannot compete with China, except in areas where China didn't yet have the chance to catch up for some reason. I think we are going back to a world where most nations know how to produce almost everything, so competition will no longer be on that knowledge but more on the other necessary factors to make production cheaper.
Honestly I'm okay with that.

In two months I'm joining you. Finding an apartment was hard too -- buildings are at 99% occupancy and go within hours.
Me too. I love this name because I grew up in Oregon.

I also saw the move from rotary to cordless to caller ID. I heard "Shh. I'm talking long-distance" and also played Commander Keen and used Trumpet Winsock to connect at the ultra-fast 14.4k to local BBS's and eventually Teleport, our local ISP.

We also grew up on Nintendo, I'd say that The Wizard starring Fred Savage is possibly an anthemic film since it showed off the most sophisticated game available (SM3) [2]

As a minor point of this group a major non-digital event event of this time was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens [1], which was the most disastrous volcanic eruption in US history. (Offers some perspective on the wildfire smoke, perhaps.)

From the article you posted:

> Two doses of the Pfizer vaccine had an effectiveness of 93.7% at preventing symptomatic alpha infections, and 88% for the delta variant.

[..]

> However, the effectiveness of the vaccines plummeted if a patient had only received one dose of either vaccine: the study found both to be just more than 48% effective against alpha and only about 30% effective against delta.

I'm a little confused as to what your point is? The vaccines are highly effective after two doses, but not very effective after only one dose.
I love it how neat config files generally are on the BSD's. It's all so transparent and easy to tinker with. Sadly I have not used OpenBSD in probably 2 decades, but I fondly remember using it for my first office job in around 2000. I used it as my desktop OS while the servers all ran Solaris.
Sure, I think the key part is sources so you can fully support the hardware yourself.

The issue with that is many of the areas which may have insufficient water have insufficient water because they are otherwise so conducive to agriculture. The CA central valley is amazing for Ag, we've just exceeded the (surprisingly plentiful) natural supply of water because we've grown too much.

There are many areas where we would grow even more food if we could only supply the water, and many areas of the country where we often have too much water. Why not solve both issues?
American conservatism, at least in the sense of people professing it as an ideology holding power, has had a pretty good 50 years since Nixon inaugurated "the war on drugs" (and other things).
Irrelevant. The GP asked for a paid SMTP service. GP, FastMail is very good.

edoceo, the reason your flippant comment is irrelevant and unhelpful is that running an SMTP service means dealing with often intractable deliverability problems that are only surmountable by having your mail sent by a server that sends a large volume of legitimate email to build reputation as a sender.

It doesn't matter if you use postfix, exim, sendmail, BSD, Linux, or TempleOS, or manually wiggle magnets towards an open socket to send email, the reason the GP wants paid SMTP is so that he can rent access to a server with adequate deliverability to actually use his email.
How do we measure the value of anything objectively.

But there is a world of difference between, 100's of people working for a decade on a problem kind of patents. And someone sitting on their couch for an afternoon patents. You seriously want to protect the former. And not really the latter.
Small point on [1] - it's not only EITC, there are a number of benefits that are income-dependant where a small income increase could make you ineligible for a ton of benefits. Effective marginal tax rates for people right around poverty line is crazy high for their income - because each additional dollar earned turns into lost benefits. https://fee.org/articles/the-welfare-trap-labyrinth-of-progr...

The tax rates still aren't 100% there but even something like 50% may seriously discourage people.
The guy who implemented that really did a disservice to the filesystem metaphor, though. Instead of making values analogous to files, they're properties of registry keys, so instead of Get/Set-Content, Get-ChildItem, etc. you need to do some gymnastics with Get/Set-ItemProperty to work with them. For example, if you want to find a registry value with a particular name, you can't just do 'dir -rec SomeValueName' to find it like you can on the filesystem provider.
100%. Mid-80's here and even as Millennial was coming into common use it never seemed to fit quite right with me, but neither did Gen-X. I have older siblings, and I think that helps as well since I was exposed to the same kinds of things that they were which blurs those lines further.

Increasing the price of water would of course work. There is nothing inherently special about water. What is special is how water has been underpriced for so long as well as the use of aquifers through wells temporarily 'increasing the supply' until they run out. Banning almonds, pistachos, walnut crops etc... is really just an indirect way of increasing the price of water for farmers.

I've heard other suggestions to mandate more conservative water practices aka drip irrigation and ban water hungry crops and sure that kinda works -- but this is exactly what higher prices is supposed to fix already. There is no magical solution to the now permanent decreased water per year, it's not a 'temporary drought' anymore. Eventually the price of water will be set back to normal either through dollar cost or with lottery random shortages as the agency is currently forced to do.

I experienced this but I wouldn't discount TikTok going viral. I saw the early side of that product starting before the Boss Walk, and it really was sensational. The product is carving out a new form of expression and has evolved.

I also wouldn't cede the biggest communication change in the past X years to our adolescence either. I think that immersive VR experiences in the metaverse will be a bigger change than no internet -> smartphones.

I don't know much about farming, but I doubt farms that refuse to sell their crops stay farms for very long.

Small inventor already can't afford a patent. Let's say the small inventor spent the large amount of money for lawyers and patent searches and got a patent... How will they defend it when litigating a patent starts at around $1 million?

What this means is that any practical implementation of an idea needs to be a multi-million dollar idea in order to be worth patenting. Otherwise you're just wasting money.

R has about 18000 packages on CRAN and task views that survey many of the packages in a domain, for example TimeSeries https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/TimeSeries.html . Is there something similar for Python? The main Python time series library I have used statsmodels.tsa in statsmodels.

Because then you'd still have to install the package.

It's nice to have something that "just works" without having to install it. I like to call it Level 5 autonomous software -- software that can figure out how to run itself with zero complaints.

I actually use this for a lot of personal non-production scripts, I can just clone the script on any system and just run it, it will figure itself out.

Also, packages with version dependencies fuck up other packages with other version dependencies, unless you set up virtualenvs or dockers or condas for them, and those take additional steps.

magicimport.py uses virtualenv behind the scenes, so when it imports tornado 4.5 because some script wants 4.5, it won't mess up the 6.0 that's already on your system. In some sense it just automates the virtualenv and pip install process on-the-fly, to give the effect that the script "just works".
What is the net energy expenditure of moving water over a mountain range besides losses due to friction/turbulence?

Desalinization also uses pumps and most heavy water users(Ag) are nowhere near the ocean so I'm not seeing your point.

Why not use that solar and wind power to move water from areas with too much water to areas with too little water?

You could even start with a bifurcated grid which avoids the Rocky Mountains if that satisfies your concerns. There is quite a bit of excess water up north. You could even pipe the freshwater through pipelines sunk near the seafloor. Imagine if the coastal CA metropolises got their water from an off-shore pipeline coming from Alaskan river mouths while the inland water they're currently using stays inland to feed big Ag. If you made the pipeline flexible and used one-way valves, you might even power it with tidal motion.
The betas have been great indeed!

You can enable the 'Unstable updates' option in F-Droid's settings to receive notifications for new beta versions to avoid having to check manually. The downside is that you'll receive these updates for all apps, so be sure to check if a new version is a beta version for apps that you want to keep on stable versions.

Irony on HN (especially against the HN crowd) is also frowned upon.

For example, A company that didn't use Kubernetes [0] had their blog knocked down and the HN crowd was jubilant over the matter to recommend them to use K8s for a blog. It's not even their main service offering.

Then 48 hours later [1], major parts of the internet using Akamai went down and the company that previously was 'the joke' was still up. All I suggested was for Akamai to use K8s as well. [2]

I turned the joke on them and got downvoted due to the irony of the situation. Look at the comments in [0] and [1] and you can see the strength of [2] humiliating their short lived victory parade.

This is not very accurate you can deprecate the building offsetting the rent income and only pay the tax if you sell the building and do not reinvest into a different property.
In reality you can defer taxes indefinitely by just rolling over into the next purchase. If you need the cash you just take out a loan against the property.
> every moment of possible universe has always existed and will always exist, but over time they switch from "off"

This also seems to imply the MWI forces us into block time, then having to recover the experience of time flowing for finite observers like us. The MWI-verse has always existed, as you say, so I'm having a hard time imagining what you mean by dynamical "switching", unless you mean the feeling/appearance of. It would have to be the appearance of something happening, an appearance of time flowing when it is block. I'm sure we can imagine MWI can explain how observers like us in the MW universe experience a flow of time. This still may be simple in the long run.
It was clearly in response to the event, I'm saying it's a reasonable terminology refinement when faced with a new situation.
Agreed. It may not have been a direct threat but it was threatening.
Which is honestly sad. Would we ideally not show equal respect for those who don't care to have their ID registered for every little thing? Isn't that a reasonable thing to want anymore?

If they're loud, obnoxious or stubborn about it (if they don't accept a reasonable explanation), that's obviously something else. I'm not talking about people being a dick. Just the general principle of taking that moment to explain the why rather than assuming anyone who doesn't immediately comply with a "hand over your ID for registration" order must have security called upon them as in the example above.

Full disclosure: I'm also this kind of person. Needed to authenticate myself to get a phone number (a regular phone number, both pre and post paid at different times so that's not the difference) at a local office. The person behind the register takes my ID, I figured she'd check and we'd be good, but then she puts both sides under some reader. I happen to know it's illegal to copy the national identifier code (BSN in Dutch) but I don't want to be obnoxious right? Not as if she's a lawyer, she's just doing what she's told to. So I just ask (politely, I thought, not stopping her or anything) which field(s) the machine copies. Well now did I want to let her do her job or should I find myself another carrier maybe? was the retort.

Hotels, similar thing. Photocopying an ID in that situation is illegal for the same reason. Employees get hostile faster than a tesla gets to 60, and I'm left feeling of a different generation before I'm even 30 years old. Anonymity is not an option, heck even complying with GDPR is not something one can expect, but refusing to even inform me what they're doing? That's off limits now?
This is definitely true in large apartment buildings, where units are very comparable and leases are identical. Not so much in commercial where lease terms may vary widely, and even units in the same building may be meaningfully different in value based on how they're currently configured and who's looking to rent (e.g. if you want to rent a space to start a restaurant, and it was previously set up as a restaurant, you've got a lot of infrastructure there already, so it's more valuable to you as a tenant than it would be to someone who wants to use it as a hardware store).

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) US stormwater / runoff systems have to be isolated from sewer systems. Maybe an EPA requirement?

So reclaimed water is typically dealing with "anything anyone puts down a piped drain in their house."

(That said, I think there are also runoff processing requirements before discharge into waterways too)
Personally I'm more interested in indexing a boatload of data as fast as possible, with modest resource requirements. Had a couple of cases where I'd like to do that on a mid-tier laptop, with no particular success so far. I have to guess, but it seems that ‘data scientists’ either buy big fat boxes with tons of ram and cpu, or offload everything to big fat boxes in datacenters, or twiddle thumbs for a quite while. You'd think that by now writing indexes on all columns at the top sequential drive speed would be a solved problem from any ‘Learn data science in two days’ tutorial.

OK, now we know what your strategy would be in Sim California, but please bring it around to our actual legal system.
Not really, its considering the global effects of your actions.

The video you link e.g is titled "‘If I Don’t Steal [Your Home] Someone Else Will’ Israeli Settler Justifies Forcible Takeover".

But there are some major differences between that and my arguments mainly I consider realistic consequences of blindly changing the (not so perfect) status quo by reducing Oil production in Norway, while the argument in the video creates a hypothetical in normal situations completely unlikely scenario. Furthermore in the video, it's used to justify something which is normally considered a crime and where you force someone else. While here it's neither about a crime nor about forcing anyone (selling Oil is not a crime and not causing climate change, burning it does. And no one is forced to buy the Oil.), if anything Norway tries to convince people to buy less Oil in total on the long term as far as I known.

And sure there are similarities no one will reduce Oil production (implicitly causing Oil usage) if everyone always argues that then other will increase Oil production.

Or that would be the case if we move it in a hypothetical scenario where everyone would argue that way. But in reality we are in a different scenario where some parties don't use such arguments but base their decisions on completely different factors, which makes it predetermined how they would act in the hypothetical scenario in turn nullifying the idea that everyone is shifting blame onto everyone else, making this a very different situation then the ones you refer to.

And yes, you know try to extend it to the settler arguing that the Israeli governments action are predetermined and as such it's the same. And indeed there is a argument to be made to blame the Israeli government and not the specific settler(s), but you then can blame the settler not for settling but for supporting evilish decisions of their government.

But at this point we side-tracked the discussion to a degree which kills is.

The point I want to make is that there is a major difference between considering likely outcomes of actions and trying to choose the best action in your power (or in this case Norway power) and creating hypothetical scenarios to justify something which in your own moral system is normally considered a crime.

Sure this approaches might sometimes look similar in their outcomes but their are very different in their approach and philosophy.

E.g. in one case you satisfy demand while trying to not increase demand with to low prices while trying to reduce demand in in turn then reduce production in the same degree. I.e. something which iff done right would be generally considered good. While on the other hand you hypocritically try to find excuses for your actions (hypocritically because the person using the argument would probably not fine with their house being stolen).
>it was just the union of everything that came along

Garbage collection isn't in the language though some people wanted it. So it isn't a union of everything.
UNIX domain sockets also support an abstract namespace, not a part of the filesystem [1].

An excerpt of [2]:

> The abstract namespace socket allows the creation of a socket connection which does not require a path to be created. Abstract namespace sockets disappear as soon as all open instances of the socket are removed. This is in contrast to file-system paths, which need to have the remove API invoked in code so that previous instances of the socket connection are removed.

It worked quite well when I tried it (also in addition to using SO_PEERCRED for checking that the connecting user is the same as the user running the listener in question).

> Why couldn't the import system resolve versions, too? You could say `import foo >= 1.0` and it would download it to some global cache, and the import the correct versions from the cache.

What do you do about conflicts? Or say you have `import foo >= 1.0` in a file, and `import foo == 2.4`, but the latest version is 2.5, so the first import grabbed the latest version, and you later realize you need 2.4?

Imagine running a report generator for 5 hours, only to have the formatting module require a conflicting version of something and erroring out at run time...

People don't generally consume a fixed amount of cannabis, but the amount that gives the effect they want.

With a greater THC and terpene concentration, you can use a smaller amount of flower. For those who smoke, this means less of the harmful burned vegetable matter.

Even in a vaporizer, you get a nicer flavor and can use less.
