So true. With the political polarization so common now, you can become isolated and then alienated quite easily.

I'd add that being a man, especially if married, as you age your social circle radically declines. Getting divorced radically improved that for me. And I'm not even talking about the opposite sex - I have more guy friends now that 10, 20 years ago. There's a space that NO wife or GF can ever fill...
With Olympics going on, this is very relevant. China has a training camp to dominate all aspects of the Olympics and training at young age is absolutely crucial.

> "we could never know if they were telling the truth"

Depends on your epistemology, but I'd like to believe that most people could.

At some point you have to draw a line between an unsatisfiable skepticism and believing third party, independent observer. In my example an electric company suffered an outage due to an attack. Certainly linemen, switch operators, NERC-CIP-familiar personnel and other people would be able to testify to the press (or to others) that something strange did happen. Having worked on outages related to that kind of stuff, I myself could testify that when people in my field see strange things on public-sector systems it somehow makes it's way around the community ;). The point here is that it would/will lend credence to the claims that those scary men in black suits make.

But of course, believe what you want. That's always going to be your prerogative.
I understand that, but I purposely left it in to express it in terms of energy, not power.
There are also the home assistance devices like Amazon Echos that have an always on Mic. Amazon could be a huge surveillance network for police with Ring video feed and a shot spotter network of echo devices if they went down that road.
ICE cars will always burn fossil fuels. Electric cars can consume any kind of energy as long as it is converted to electricity to first charge its battery. Maybe right now most electricity is generated via fossil fuels but you have to be really unimaginative to see how in the future that might not be the case and we’re going to be very happy with our cars being electrified instead of still burning oil.
Because it is hard to find, not very well advertised, and isn't free unless you have a cable provider (youtube tv does work).

For me, I had Youtube TV record everything, but NBC doesn't show everything, and its completely US centric coverage (I like watching the competition). On demand wasn't helpful either.

I tried Peacock (NBC's app) thinking that's where they were hiding all of their coverage. And again not everything is there, and much of it is behind paywall.

Fortunately, my wife clicked on the Olympics section of our Roku and it prompted us to install the NBC Olympics app. Then I had to sign into it, because it only provides 30 mins of viewing without a cable plan. On top of that they are injecting a lot of commercials into the programming, so I'm not sure why they couldn't air all of it for free (with commercials)

> Toyota is lagging behind the rest of industry

It's a very polite way of saying that Toyota is selling electric shit boxes. The brand new Lexus UX 300e is so bad and overpriced that it will not surprise me if Toyota's plan is to make a bad selling car on purpose to say that customers don't want EVs.
But Toyota has build quality that Tesla can't touch. Toyota won't be starting from scratch, they will starting from the point of making great high quality ICE vehicles and converting those to EV. Tesla build quality is not that great but they have better tech and understanding of their EV customers than Toyota does.

On the iPad app, I definitely got spoilers. I wanted to watch men’s cycling, but it finished in the middle of my night so I went to watch it in the morning.

You are talking about white privilege and not male privilege here. White privilege is pretty straight forward, male privilege isn't. The discussion in question is about white women pushing out white men from sectors where white women dominate, that doesn't sound like a privilege for those men.

Also, it is extremely frustrating that people quickly start to include race when the discussion is about gender. As I said racial inequality is an entirely different thing from gender inequality. Police shoots black people more, white people get paid more. There, white privilege! But, Police shoots men more, men get paid more. Who is privileged? See the difference? Most of the problems black people face are also problems men face more than women, so you can't talk about those two as if they were the same.
Good question! Most companies I've reached out to have products in the range of $3,000-$10,000 for the initial cost, and then a reoccurring/annual fee of around $500-2500 (depending on what sensors are included)

I reached out to a few, the two I'd heard back from, AQMesh and EarthSense, both gave me a rough quotes.

https://millerbeach.community/files/01-09%20Research/02%20Ai...

I cheekily asked if they had a community program (at a reduced cost), but understandable they don't, as their products are highly scientific lil things, both asked me to reach out to my local government, but most people who know of Gary, know it has no funds (or interest) in tracking air quality any more than they already do.

I am in the process of starting a charity on behalf of my daughter, Sterling. We spent 7 months in the ICU, until she passed away at 8 months from complications relating to her complex heart disease. https://sterlingstrong.foundation

My one and only truly TDD project went brilliantly, but there were specific circumstances. In this project, I created the back-end and API while an outsourced team built the UI. What made it work well was that I wrote the tests AND the spec at the same time, and kept both up to date. Completed tests equalled progress on the back-end, made it easy to identify any regressions in my own code, and clear differentiated between logic and general HTTP plumbing errors.

I tend to agree with you, but I also think it's important to remember that people are doing this free work entirely on their own. They want to do it for free. As much as I'd like to see the effort go toward a hardware OEM that deserves it, the labor/work doesn't exist and merely needs allocation. It exists specifically because people want to do it for Apple's hardware. The choice is likely between nothing or Apple, not between <OEM> or Apple. From a purely Linux perspective, this work helps make Linux even more of a force, so there's definitely reason to appreciate it :-)

Public transportation is more expensive for rural areas than urban areas because they are more spread out. At some point it becomes impractical, either because the service is unreliable/slow by necessity or because it's not practical for a bus to drive 10 extra miles down the road to get service to everybody.

On another note, I'm still waiting for the hardcore anti-car people (the ones who want to ban car ownership and think rural people don't need cars, which I recognize are a loud minority) to tell me how I'm supposed to go public land deer hunting without a car/truck.
I love julia and wouldn't mention this if I hadn't written a big chunk of data-analysis code with it...

It's a small gripe, but one thing that really bothers me is that they gave up on libreadline for the REPL (for what seem like fairly superficial build management issues, looking at the original email threads) in favor of a custom solution, which

* doesn't support vim-like or emacs-like keybindings, and

* won't read my .inputrc file and my customizations

It's just maddening using julia's REPL without this. It's easy to dismiss user complaints like this, but I can go back and forth between bash and into the python REPL and all of my line discipline actually makes sense, but then the julia REPL is broken and clumsy.

Also, pdb.set_trace() is a lot easier and more productive than what Debugging.jl has to offer.

For your base model Camry, sure. But on the higher trim levels, you'll see a lot of features and options other manufacturers don't even have.

And a lot of companies have "a hybrid model" or "an electric model", but that's it. Bear in mind, the most common class of car today is the crossover or SUV. Toyota can sell you any model of its cars as a hybrid. Meanwhile, when I shop around other SUVs, and then ask if they sell it as a hybrid, they give me a dumbfounded look, like the idea of selling a car with a third row seat that has a hybrid engine is absolutely ludicrous.
Didn't Toyota own a substantial amount of Tesla stock?

> First, being victim of forces beyond their control is true for almost everyone.

I think this misunderstands the crucial difference here. The phenomenom described is not about power dynamics, it is about storytelling: Many don't even care to investigate whether there are really powers there who are at fault for their suffering. In fact it is quite the opposite: Because they feel special as individuals they cannot stand the idea that some powerful force damages them as mere collateral, because this would mean to admit to be small and insignificant. At least I'd say this is the conclusion they would typically reach after looking into the real causal relationships behind the powers and their lives based on facts.

However, it might be much more comforting to tell yourself a story in which "they" target you or your people specifically and intentionally. The more evil you can paint "them" the better, because it makes your cause more noble and heroic.

Telling yourself these kind of stories might be comforting, but cements the role you are playing within that society: Forever a sucker, a playball of forces you cannot comprehend, easy to manipulate, gullible, afraid, angry. Healthy as long as you don't march to Russia like my Nazi-grandfather did when he was 16.

That's exactly the response the CCP would want to appear right below that comment.

What a coincidence!
For processors that have hardware SHA256 (AMD Zen, most 64-bit ARM, some Intel models), SHA224 can be computed with the same instructions.

For 64-bit CPUs without hardware SHA256, SHA512 & SHA384 are the fastest and they have identical speed (as only the values of some constants differ, while the algorithm is the same).

Most libraries and hash utilities implement all these variants, so any variant can be chosen without problems.
Toyota was still going on about how EVs were not viable and hydrogen fuel cells were the future while anyone who looked outside their window would see EVs all over the place. Elon's early responses to this remain true (grid already exists, people can charge at home, easier to build EV infrastructure, etc.) - there's been nearly zero progress in hydrogen fuel cells.

Hybrids were a mediocre half-measure and hydrogen was a worse solution to the problem. Tesla proved this model despite constant criticism even after wild success.

It's not a huge surprise Toyota is throwing their weight around to try to cheat out some legislative relevance rather than compete on product. Many companies being disrupted do that (see recent viasat story, US car dealerships, etc.)

I hope they lose, imo they deserve it.
No, more than that. The problem the media has is that it wasn't enough to merely be sceptical of Trump or to oppose him based on what he actually did; in order to be sufficiently anti-Trump you needed to believe an endless cavalcade of things that weren't true.

Arguably the dying gasp of the New York Times' attempt to do actual reporting and not anti-Trump activism involved a particularly stupid conspiracy theory about Trump secretly communicating with Russia and (for some reason) a medical clinic in Florida using the timing of DNS requests for a mail server. This made no sense on any level; neither Trump nor anyone in his circles controlled the mail server or its DNS, they were behind so many levels of subcontracting he'd have to involve a bunch of people he had no reason to trust and who all denied any such thing happened, all to set up a communication channel so poor he'd need some other, undetected, much better communication channel to get any meaning out of it and that was tied to the Trump brand for no good reason. And this was supposed to be a better explanation than other mail systems which had received promotional hotel e-mails merely doing automated DNS requests as a result, like many e-mail systems do.

So naturally, the Clinton campaign demanded the FBI investigate this in a way that implied they were somehow supporting Trump if they didn't, and went massively viral on social media with this demand. The New York Times pushed back against this in the mildest way possible, by saying that the FBI had looked into these claims and concluded all the evidence was consistent with normal email systems doing ordinary things in response to marketing emails. (This was also what nearly every technical expert seems to have concluded regardless of party.) Then a year or later someone dug this up and kicked off a massive backlash against the Times, with a campaign to cancel subscriptions over this supposedly pro-Trump article and their own public editor turning on them over it. They capitulated, apologised, and promised not to do it again. From then on they'd consistently go along with conspiracy theories and misinformation done in the name of fighting Trump.

> Norway accounted for half of EVs sold in Europe at one point, and is 100% renewable.

Depends on how one looks at it I think.

AFAIK the green-ness of the Norwegian hydro power is sold in the form of "green certificates" to Germans who get to live happy innocent lives.

Meanwhile all we Norwegians know that we mostly use hydro power so we don't care about the certificates.

Summary: I think the green-ness of Norwegian hydro power is sold twice.

Happy to be corrected.
> If I am prevented from reading data I want to read... how is that not censorship?

Of course it's censorship, they're preventing it from being transmitted to you. That's what I said.

> Also, where are you even getting that defintion anyway?

Literally the first sentence of the Wikipedia article [1]:

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information."

Speech and communication are transmission. There's no such thing as speech or communication with only a single party involved, as generally understood.

And no -- anti-virus is not voluntary censorship because it's not censorship at all. It's protection from harm, not a shield from comunicative ideas. If anti-virus were "voluntary censorship" then locking your home from burglars would be too. And that twists the word beyond any recognizable or useful meaning.
