It might be deceptive, but only because consumers somehow believe product names correspond to unchanging products. They obviously don't, across many industries. Cars keep the same names but change design every few years. Food keeps changing package size and recipe. It's everywhere! They didn't promise not to change it, and the products still conform to the published specs. If you're too lazy to read that from the horse's mouth and rely on outdated 3rd party reviewers, that's on you.

The issue isn't that young people don't want to move into their own place. It's that they literally can't without ruining themselves.
For me, moving out of my parents place would mean moving to a tiny shithole that costs over 800CAD and is situated in the worst neighborhood of my city.
It would be worse for my mental health (which is already hampered because I find modern cities unbearable) but also an idiotic financial decision.

Point is, all I want is to move away and live in solitude and independence but I think the government would probably find me even if I moved into a cabin in the woods in Yukon.

It's long bothered me that Windows got a reputation of being an unstable OS when the issues were caused by poorly written software. Things got better when they moved over to the NT kernel, but drivers were still a frequent cause of BSODs since they ran in ring 0. A combination of WHQL certification and getting drivers to run in user mode instead of kernel mode has helped significantly with stability.

The interesting part here is the browser. It does not seem to stem from any major HTML engine known to me.

The history page is from 2005 and says about HTML 4.01. The English front page mentions advances in the browser (but HTML5 is not mentioned directly).

I wonder what can it be. The browser seems pretty custom, with support for POP3 (well, Opera used to have a built-in email client) and, in 2005 when it made sense, for ICQ. But a HTML + CSS engine is such a complex beast that very few really exist which would work tolerably with the modern Web.

I doubt it very much. To me it feels like the screws are being tightened and the oppression more blatant because they realize that for a variety of reasons (technical and legal) we're past the point where decentralization is a viable strategy.

On the contrary, I've found that success hinges primarily on the ability to find and execute good business deals (which is the work of executive team and/or sales&marketing). Software side has so much slack in it that it can (and often does) do extremely bad job at making the actual thing and still succeed.

You’re actually asking to be patronized. It’s ok to ask hard questions with complex answers, even when articulating the question is easy. Giving a subject matter expert permission to dodge questions because you are not an expert is a road to ruin.

Not just politics -but finances as well. The Evangelicals represent a huge amount of money -particularly when you're talking about the mega-churches.

Also, it's quite, quite possible that a large number of decision makers in the banking industry are themselves conservative hard-line Christians.
One of the things that's rarely brought up in discussions about NP complete and NP hard problems is that they have input ranges where they require non-polynomial time solutions. It's difficult to speak in general, but for SSS problems, when the values are comparatively small or large, the you can use the LLL algorithm to find an exact answer in polynomial time.
But if sugar is addictive, as it seems it is, this would cost a significant fraction of annual revenue to food producers, so there's no way they'd do it. Even if it's not literally addictive, it's clearly attractive and they'd take a big hit.

And yet, again, the U.S. doesn't appear to have the ability to do what you say.

Vogtle is as close to a standardized design as the U.S. has ever tried to build. It was supposed to be a template for future drop-in Westinghouse AP1000 units.

Thirty billion dollars for a single power plant. I don't pretend to know why we suck at nuclear, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that Vogtle is the final nail in the coffin of American nuclear power generation.

I agree with you on the advantages of nuclear, but this is our reality in the U.S.

BTW, we will never solve the nuclear waste disposal problem in the US. We can't even get the nimby's to let us build enough housing for all of us.

I just (re)discovered Philip Glass from the soundtrack to HBO’s recent docuseries, 100 Foot Wave, and I’ve since been inhaling anything and everything that I can related to him. There’s a lot to inhale.

I was vaguely familiar with his work from Koyaanisqatsi etc, but had never sat down and listened to whole albums etc. What a musical discovery for me. Sitting down and listening to Glassworks for the first time was just a revelation. And so many great albums. Yes there is repetition of course, but it’s all just stunning beautiful to me..

Opening and Closing from Glassworks, Truman Sleeps. Mad Rush, Metamorphosis #4, Wichita Vortex Sutra from Solo Piano. Literally everything from Orion and Descent into the Maelstrom. Uakti/Japura River. Collaboration with Ravi Shankar with Passages. I just can’t get enough.

I use an alternative app to communicate over Messenger and it still relies on the same APIs. That said, the app is mostly unmaintained and actually does pretend to send messages with a banned domain. Friends were discussing antivaxxers and I had just received a link over SMS from an old acquaintance to an antivax video. I tried to send it through Disa.IM and it "sent" as far as I was aware, then a few minutes later I was using FB on a desktop browser and that message was showing some kind of failure message that it was against community guidelines. When I went to look at the app on my phone, the message with the offending URL was just gone. like it had never been sent. The feature clearly exists serverside and the alternative client doesn't have a way to handle that part of the API.
I am Canadian, but I do this and I have a bunch of friends that do this, even with well paying jobs.

Drug addiction and overdosing are related but separate problems. While some solutions may impact both, they really should be treated very differently.

Overdoses happen because people are doing hard drugs while alone and/or are getting bad drugs. Prevention of overdosed means not locking up addicts for basic possession. Safe injection sites. Basic communication services such as handing out cellphones to addicts can make a huge difference (the cost of one ER visit will buy 100 cellphones). These things can be done now.

Stopping people from becoming addicts is different. It requires societal change so that people don't land in situations where they are likely to turn to drugs. That means employment programs. That means post-hospital monitoring of patients. That means decent affordable housing. That means much more expensive and long-term efforts.

Libaries have screwed this up as well numerous times. less so for proper archives. However lets take a wide example micro-film. Many libraries started storing periodicals on microfilm. Thing is for a lot of older local news papers and such thats now all that exists. (no known original left) It also takes money to put those micro-film scans on something that is not obsolete. You still run into libraries keeping a microfilm reader on hand since they don't have the funds to convert everything.

While microfilm was seen to have advantages durning its peak as its become more obsolete it become obvious it has draw backs compared to keeping original documents. At least its relatively simple in practice just needing about 100x microscope to read.

The problem with digital information is worse especially you if throw in proprietary disk formats and proprietary file formats in the mix. Let alone keeping hardware operating that can use older interfaces for the storage medium, the alternative is keep copying the data to newer media and ensure that no errors happened during that process

I guess my point is that keeping a archived/preserved piece of data accessible always has an upkeep cost.

Even books and other physical things have an upkeep cost mainly keeping a safe environment to store said items to keep them safe things like uv that may fade items or humidity that make them mold ect... Let alone protecting items from cataclysmic events fire ect.. Any break down along this line for a library or archive means information may be lost or no longer accessible.

The problem is the same for companies except now they have to weigh spending money on this for documentation and such for products they no longer sell and likely do not even support any more if old enough.

“It has fallen behind rivals in protecting users from tracking and data harvesting” - strange way to say Google relies on tracking to serve the ad industry which it dominates, in order to earn revenue, and therefore whatever they may say doesn’t matter - their actions are going to show that they must keep the tracking rolling on.

Unfortunately that’s exactly the issue here. That justification puts more focus on training a (simplified and flawed) process rather than understanding the fundamental nature of the problem being presented.
Indeed. Restrictions and deaths seem very loosely correlated. For the most part they delayed things, but there is surprisingly little evidence that the cure is better than the disease.
Exactly. We created the TSA, Patriot Act and spent billions on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We can’t compare the costs to the deaths we’ve had from terrorism since (zero) we need to compare it to all the terrorism deaths that were prevented.

See why that’s a bad argument?

You can, just not a nice one in a major city. Given the choice between my parent's house and a small condo, house is a lot nicer.

Given the options, it will never be the case that a 20 year old can have the same standard of living as what they grew up with right away. You choices are to lower your standard of living as you just aren't as valuable economically or stay put.
Not OP but.. There’s a difference between debts and assets though. Is the $160B debt equivalent to $160B in assets or did they screw up and overspend? If I bought a $500k for $1M then the next buyer can’t get it appraised for such

A lot of the posts on COVIDAteMyFace (and the more general LeopardsAteMyFace) consist of a series of someone's social media comments where they repeat all the usual COVID conspiracy theories and misinformation (and often insults directed toward all of us stupid sheeple who get vaccinated and wear masks) followed by a social media post where they say they have COVID and need prayers, followed by a social media post from a family member or friend asking for more prayers because the person is now on a ventilator and not doing well, finally followed by family or friends posting that the person has died and listing a GoFundMe page to help pay the bills and mortgage and such for the spouse and children left behind.

This last part, the frequent GoFundMe requests, raises a question--do these people not have life insurance?

I haven't seen any conspiracy theories or other misinformation about how life insurance is a sheeple thing or a commie plot or satanic etc, so I wouldn't expect there to be any particular correlation between the kind of person who ends up on COVIDAteMyFace and the kind of person who does not have life insurance.
It depends on which version of "decriminalization" one subscribes to. If it means not locking people up for possession then that can keep people out of the prison cycle. It means people will be less afraid to ask for help with their addictions. But if decriminalization means all drugs can be openly bought and sold, THAT won't help. Marijuana is one thing, but allowing carfentanil or rohypnol to be easily acquired by all would end very badly.
