>"cops don't harass people in your opinion?" "Cops can do literally anything they want to you with minimal/no repercussions." "If I defend myself against an aggressive cop I'm getting a felony and going to prison for decades."

That's not my opinion, and harass is not the same as attack. Unprovoked/unreasoned encounters are incredibly rare as to not be an issue for the vast majority. Have you even looked at the case law and statistics of police encounters? Also felony does not mean prison for decades, and defending yourself in court does not lead to a felony in the first place. Unless you mean defending yourself through violence, but then again that's against the law.

> "Someone removing me from a place I'm living would think twice if they knew I was armed/had weapons."

Really? Do you intend to tell all those people in mentioned in the article to just shoot back next time? How do you imagine that's going to go for them?

The police is not just a single person but part of an entire apparatus that has far more reach and resources than you which is where their ability to combat crime comes from. You're not really a match for motivated criminals, but even if you were, this is clearly not the preferred solution for the majority of the population.

> "You can make a guess at that and assume what you want.... you know nothing about me, where I've been, or how I've lived."

Why use such vague statements then? But since you said so, I'll go ahead and assume (with extremely high confidence) that you have no experience with violence and lawless environments. I have history with both sides of the law and know career criminals with less hostile police interaction than you seem to have. In fact, police are the least of their concerns, similar to anyone who lives in dangerous places, but then again you would know that if you were familiar with such areas.

Police violence is definitely an issue, but this thread is a comparison to not having any state protection at all, and just about everyone in the latter situation would happily switch places with you. But I'm pretty sure you know that, and would never take up such an offer.
I've generally had few issues with IDE hard drives and CDROM drives, from the Pentium era forward. The "fun" has been dealing with hard drive replacements, whether SD card or Compact flash.
Bingo. This is the trick GP is likely looking for.
I was quite impressed when I ssh-ed into the M1 machine offered by the GCC Compile Farm, and found that it recompiles the TXR Lisp standard library in under 3 seconds.
I would disagree. What is important to know is that in this region of the world discrimination (if at all present) is in general not based on the race/color of the skin - and this is in general true for the rest of Europe too.

In Europe, discrimination, when it happens, is usually based on national or religious differences. All wars Europeans ever fought were over national or religious reasons.

In Serbia generally racial discrimination is not present, nor is a topic of any conversation in media or society (certainly not to any extent like in US). There was a war between serbs and bosnian muslims and serbs and kosovo muslims (note national/religious connotation) some 20 years ago, and some people may have 'hard feelings' about it, but in general that's the end of it. Still, being a Muslim in Serbia is IMO a 'better' experience than being one in USA (maybe also because 5% of population of Serbia is Muslim vs ~1% in USA).
Same. I've tried many, many distributions. Fedora definitely feels the most polished. Ironically, I find Ubuntu to be one of the worst, and it seems to be the default most people try.

Even in eastern societies people aren't necessarily happy to care for the elderly. Some young Chinese women are reluctant to marry because they'll get stuck caring for their in-laws. And I'm not criticizing them, just pointing out that the issue isn't a simple east / west divide.

I don't have a "goal post" to even move. I came here to dump some insight into the overall problem the other user was describing.

Substantiate what claim? That right of woke users are always treated with a ban? No. I already said that doesn't happen, I also said I don't think the problem is that binary.

Anyway, you make having a conversation on the internet completely exhausting. Good luck figuring out whatever it is that you're trying to figure out.
Back in the 90s, I think the Apple UI design team (whatever it was called) provided the best such dictated UI guidelines I've seen.

> You miss the point. I can buy an x86 machine and run Windows or a FOSS OS or any number of unix clones or hell even write my own OS. From the outset I can say I own the hardware.

You are more than welcome to use an x86 machine as your cell phone, but I don't think most people would choose to. If we're talking about comparable hardware, even m1 macs allow you to run alternative operating systems [1] on it so this isn't a valid point.

You could write your own OS on an desktop computer and it'd be a significantly easier process than doing so for an iPhone which has a locked bootloader, but that doesn't mean that you can't. Just that it's tremendously difficult and low value proposition. Privilege escalation on a jailbroken iPhone is typically about as much as people want. Why would they buy an iPhone over a device with an unlocked bootloader otherwise?

> You can't say the same for Apple hardware. Even if the act of jailbreaking as a specific case is not considered illegal, you have to do many illegal things if you want to pwn an Apple device enough to run another OS on it.

What laws do I have to break to pwn an Apple device enough to run another OS on it? Jailbreaking [2] is protected by a DMCA exception.

As other commentators have noted, it's quite a leap in logic to use reinfection data to make a mechanistic claim on how natural infection may or may not improve the immune response compared to vaccination.

In addition, the naturally-infected and vaccine populations are not the same. For example, having a bad experience with a natural infection of Covid may cause people to not participate as much in virus-risky behavior. On the other hand, people who seek out vaccinations may have done so for business or personal reasons that make them more prone to expose themselves to the virus. It is also possible that (re)infection for the two groups are not monitored at the same rate. Without controlling for these factors (which your first link does not) you cannot make any judgement about which immunity is stronger from your cited data.

Lastly, your second link and your last link directly contradict each other — the second link claims "Recovered COVID patients don't benefit from vaccine" but your last link says "Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection...." If you're going to cite sources, they should probably have a consistent message :).

One thing I've found profoundly useful is not thinking of the world as set up against me, but more so that I'm my own worst enemy. I'm set up against myself.

Nothing external will change, so there's no sense fretting about my environment naturally suiting my psychology, because that'll never happen. That's a fantasy. I'd code til 3am too (and have, far too many times) but I've come to believe my job in the present is all about setting up future me for success. Present me tends to have shitty ideas about what to do in the present, but plenty of great ideas about what I should have done in the past or should do in the future. Without being critical of present me, I'm likely to fuck things up properly. I need to focus on the scaffolding for those great ideas for future me and less on the shitty ones for present me. That guy is already a lost cause.

My strategy is one of delayed gratification, which my brain hates. I lay down with a book at 9 or 10pm because it'll put me to sleep in a hurry even though my brain is typically WIRED when I lay down. Yeah it doesn't feel like bed time, but it sure as shit is bed time. I'll do other things like keep shitty food out of my home, because otherwise I'll find really good reasons to eat (too much) of it. I put EVERYTHING in my calendar because although present me is positive future me will remember, that's totally incorrect and I actually do need frequent reminders of pretty much everything I'm not immediately focused on or interested in. I leave my phone behind because even though I'm sure I won't use it too much, yeah, I definitely will. Expect the worst from yourself and prepare accordingly.

So, the world isn't my problem, I am! I'm my worst enemy. The path to defeating myself is doing a lot of stuff I don't feel like doing. I like this approach because rather than being mad at the world for my failures, I'm forced to do something about it.

That's my experience, anyway.
I switched from apple to Linux fora brief 6 month period, but sheepishly came crawling back to OSX when I got my M1 MacBook Air.

Using Linux was pretty awesome but there were a bunch of niggles that made it irritating, especially around battery life. No matter how many things I tried, power top and all the other battery tricks, it just wasn't that good.

Is cluj really more expensive? Maybe for the average Romanian, but expat areas in Bucharest are the priciest in the country, last I checked.

this reminds me of a show i saw (iirc "nightmare tenants and slum landlords") where people found a house, rented it, and then found out the landlord had no connection at all to the property. the real owners were quite upset when they returned from vacation to find their newly remodeled home occupied by strangers and ended up living in one of their mother's attic for years with an infant trying to get the squatters to leave. unbelievable. in america you walk into your house with a 12 gauge (like you always do) and blast the cocksuckers you believe to be threatening your life. end of the goddamn story.
Apple is a media company that sells hardware, they don't need to spend time figuring out and maintaining search, especially if they've convinced Google to pay them that amount for the privilege.
As I understand it, that is basically how it works in the courts in many US states. The court takes several months to schedule and hold the hearings to determine whether or not the person is, in fact, legally entitled to be in the dwelling. If not, then the landlord can file different orders to get the sheriff or other law enforcement to perform the eviction. By the time all the steps have occurred it's been many months... sometimes 1-2 years. Which is why the advice I see given to landlords is to offer "cash for keys" to get the people out without a court case.

It has been worse recently because of moratoriums on evictions (due to covid). In many cases, that meant that the people occupying the dwelling had no incentive to pay anything at all, and no process existed to remove them.

> Without QKD this process would have been done using public key encryption, which means the sender would have to have received the public key from a trusted source, ...

> With QKD you only have to trust that the person you want to talk to is on the other side of the quantum link you've established, ...

Re-read that please. How is that different?

How do you know that there isn't a QKD MITM in your wire? It would be trivial to set one up. QKD is trivially vulnerable to MITM attacks because there's no quantum authentication system. All it costs is a pair of QKD devices, and physical access -- anywhere in the 600km will do.

But with classical crypto we get to arrange authentication that works. You don't have to trust a third party, just the employees doing the set up.

Anyone who tells you QKD is better than classical crypto is straight up lying to you.
> All three blobs are firmware, not drivers. There are no blobs in the kernel.

Blobs means proprietary pieces of software. Firmware is software, too, it just runs not on the main CPU. If it resides in the OS, then the OS has "binary blobs", according to the definition by FSF. Librem 5 also has blobs, but they are not in the OS. They reside in the WiFi card and in the modem, both of which are replaceable pieces of hardware, not really parts of the the phone itself.
Yeah, 100% - my dull brain has somehow managed to give me a relatively comfortable life. Plenty of problems crop up but I've got food, a family, a job. I used to resent this brain quite a bit but I've come to like it a lot. It could have been worse.

> it's important to keep working hard right up until this point

As a pretty hard worker who is very far from workaholic, I strongly disagree. Work hard. It's super important. Put the time in or else you won't progress. But you don't need to go right up to the edge. If you put in solid work reliably for years, other factors will matter so much more than whether you go right up until that point.
Likely people think it's not possible. Until you experience it firsthand, you'd think what I was saying was an exaggeration but it's not at all. I wish I was making it up!

In my experience, even the worst parts of Croatia are safer and have more responsible cops than the sketchy parts of any mid-sized US city. Young people are fluent in English, along with most well-off middle-aged folks who know enough to consume the internet/English movies and television since Croatian isn't a hugely used language in media. Elderly people who don't live in touristic areas may know very little English but it's rarely a problem.

No I didn't, I called these squatters meth heads--they were meth users. They ripped the copper out of the walls and sold it for scrap and defecated in the tub until it overflowed. These were subhumans.
We use blocks like this in our electron beam welders to set the beam power, shape and focus on older machines (newer machines use a CPU/DSP controlled system). A small 25x25x50mm block sits on an adjustable height stand which is set to the height of the weld joint. You dial in the settings, hit the block with the beam and using the optics, visually check the focus and alignment. Then you move to the weld joint and start welding. For big power jobs we break out "the brick" which is 75x50x155. Its so heavy you need two hands to hold it and sometimes two people to place and line it up in the vacuum chamber.

Tungsten is the only metal you can reliably use as our machines have beam powers up to 15kW which can precisely deliver an enormous amount of heat into a pencil point sized area. Even at the common 1-3kW ranges the tungsten instantly liquefies when the beam turns on. Ive seen 1/2 thick aluminum turn into a puddle while the tungsten just gets a dent in it. You'd think copper is a good second bet but nope. Its good at heat sinking but melts way quicker.

"Actual typing part" != "writing code"
The first principle for vaccines to be administered ethically is that the benefit must be outweigh the risk. As trials have not completed and more information on vaccine side-effects is yet to be accumulated, this risk/benefit can be assessed only speculatively.

For instance, this[1] study suggests that the risk of Myocarditis from COVID in young men is six times higher from an infection than from a vaccination. If we assume a gratuitous infection risk of 100%, this may sound like a reasonable benefit. If we however consider that actual COVID infections may be undercounted by a factor of 10[2], the benefit turns negative.

I really want to agree with you, but I can't.

Firefox has no meaningful presence on mobile, whilst both Google and Apple can push their own browser to billions of users. Google in particular also pushes it from services having billions of users, like Youtube or Gmail.

Mozilla has no such thing, it can't push anything. It has no platform.

Your historical reading is correct. The lack of progress in IE created a temporary vacuum for a better browser to jump in. That doesn't mean the situation is repeatable, as this vacuum doesn't exist right now. Instead, Chrome is speeding away from Mozilla's budget-cut team.

Interesting argument.

> In 1941, your kid might have walked 15 minutes to the neighborhood school. In 2021, you drive your kid 15 minutes to school. Oh, and this isn't your choice: they tore down the old school and replaced it with a parking lot.

> In 1961, you might have biked or driven a few blocks to a corner store for milk and eggs. In 2021, you drive 3 miles to Kroger for milk and eggs, and there is no corner store. Has your utility increased? Or are you mostly just consuming more resources?

I would argue that utility _has_ increased; It's just that the market has re-organized itself such that the increased utility comes in the form of more flexible locations for houses and businesses rather than in the form of decreased commute times. One grocery store every 5 miles costs far less to maintain than 100 corner stores distributed evenly throughout the city, and you can get more house per dollar buying a house in the suburbs rather than if everyone were competing to buy housing smack-dab in the middle of a city.

I think perhaps a stronger version of the author's argument would be to point out that road use is an externality. Building more efficient roads comes at a significant cost, but road users don't pay that cost in a manner proportional to their use of those roads. Therefore the market does not factor in road construction costs when deciding how to organize cities, only costs of the transportation itself like commute times and gas usage.

I dislike the term "induced demand" for the same reason the author gave. "Induced demand" is really just "demand"; all economic systems work that way. The only thing different about roads is that our current system of road construction funded primarily by income taxes makes road use an externality.
