> At heart, Faraday was an experimentalist

This is often repeated, but I think it's a misleading label. Faraday doesn't get nearly enough credit for his theoretical prowess -- probably because he didn't develop his theories mathematically. But I would say his mental model of nature was far more accurate than most of his peers, mathematical or not, and that understanding is what guided him to groundbreaking discovery after groundbreaking discovery. He developed his experiments to confirm his own theoretical predictions, often predictions that no theoretical physicsts were making at the time; for example, the Faraday effect (that magnetism can rotate the polarization of light in a material), Faraday's law (the electromagnetic one), and Faraday's law (the chemical one).

> The idea that forest should dominate everywhere is actually anti-ecological

How do you define "ecological"? I would define it as nature without human intervention. Besides, there is no reason to believe that forest would "envelop all of the world" in such a way that is unsustainable because nature has its own check and balance for that.

So I don't buy the argument that some of the activities that we do are beneficial to nature. You can of course argue that they are sustainable and not destructive in long term.
> We also need to teach kids to tend to the edifice of civilization we’ve built

The truth of that depends entirely on whether that civilization's "success" is something that either can or should be sustained, and that's the assumption that most "woke" people challenge. Very few seek to tear down any part of it without having carefully considered whether it really contributes to long term success.
I'm currently on a trial of Actual Budget (https://actualbudget.com/). It's very similar to the old desktop version of YNAB. It has desktop and mobile apps (web app in beta), and does syncing. I haven't used the mobile app yet, but the desktop app is fast and entering transactions is fast. Only costs $4/month.
I'm fine with teens doing dumb stuff as a small side effect of an overall positive impact of the internet for mental health. The internet has made it so people can openly discuss mental health problems, do research on their own, reduce stigma around mental health discussions, and meet other people struggling with similar issues. I'm on r/bipolar2 and its giant, awesome, very supportive discord.

von Neumann gave a mathematically rigorous treatment of QM, synthesizing the work by physicists that had previously gotten a confused reaction from mathematicians. In that way he explained QM and also made a mathematical platform for others to build on. It was absolutely brilliant work. But I think he didn't exactly advance QM. He took the physics version that made mathematicians say wtf, and created a mathematician version that made physicists say wtf. I think physicists mostly used Dirac's book "The Principles of QM" (1930), which went through 5 or 6 later editions and may still be in print.
I think we’re maybe speaking past each other. I don’t disagree that things have become more expensive — and hence that the poor can own relatively less than they could before.

But, no. I haven’t heard stories of people being stranded in mass. I meant that word literally — because of the context of transportation — if that wasn’t clear? Even in the days of mass lockdown: I saw huge lines at food banks in suburban and even rural areas, but even those who are in a position to wait four hours for a few days of essential goods seem to have still found ways to get there. That observation is subject to some obvious biases, and yes I’m sure some people did fall through the cracks, fatally. But no: I truly haven’t witnessed what I would consider mass crises caused by people losing access to transportation. Despite massive shocks to a system of JIT manufacturing, there wasn’t a collapse of the supply side in the sense that you would have expected had you looked at inventory, divided by the rate of consumption, and thought “that’s how many weeks it’ll be until anyone who doesn’t own some form of transportation will be physically stranded”. Whatever services and goods existed two years ago, equivalents can by and large still be found today, albeit at a possibly-increased price or a possibly-decreased utility. They may have dimmed, but “the lights stayed on”. Is the world free of problems? No.
Public key servers. Upload your key to 3 different key servers (keyserver.pgp.com, keyserver.ubuntu.com, pgp.mit.edu). Have the user download it from all 3, verify they're the same, verify the package signature with the public key. People already do essentially this (but from one key server) when they add custom PPAs to a distro.

In order to hack that package, someone would have to either A) steal the signing key from the developer's airgapped laptop, or B) hack github.com and 3 independent key servers.

What year was it? And what kind of problems did you have? Curious about whether their quality has improved recently.
I have a similar setup (older Ubiquiti AP-AC Pros), and for me it was just a dislike for Ubiquiti's cloud-connected/distributed management architecture. I don't want my network hardware phoning home or depending on the cloud or even other components on the local network for any functionality. (It's sorta similar to how I feel about Apple; I really like their hardware, but am not a big fan of their software.)

I also just in general trust an open source project (sure, I know, I haven't personally audited the source or the build process) over close-source manufacturer firmware.

Again it was obvious hyperbole, no one ever meant that the entire economy was literally shut down.

However it also wasn’t an order of magnitude less. According to this WSJ report [1], lockdowns took at least 1/4 of the economy offline.

Just curious - why 20.10 instead of 21.04? I'm new to Linux and wondering why people use previous versions.

Agreed, System76 is a terrific vendor and they're only going to get better from here.
Idiocracy was fine for entertainment, but if you are looking for a moral, it is pure elitist garbage.

The basic premise that intelligence is purely driven by genes and that only dumb people will be left is practically hateful.

JoinsNamespaceOf can be used to set up network namespaces (albeit in a clunky way).

It is possible, but multiplexing networked services requires significantly more effort with systemd than with others. I do not have a strong use case yet to invest in tooling for it, but it may come.

You can’t be serious that this is a major concern for either users or developers.
Interesting to compare that strategy to System76.

Test machines on as many Linux variants as possible vs create a Linux distro optimized for your hardware.

The first seems easy (anyone can do testing), but somewhat powerless and something customers can do themselves. The latter seems powerful (custom software, something target users don't want to do) but expensive (dev time).

> I'd way rather run a regular PC with good wifi hardware and Debian

I used to do something like this, but I found it to be (moderately) annoying to manage and keep updated. And I find it hard to justify running a PC 24/7 that draws many tens (or even more than 100?) of watts vs. purpose-built networking gear that draws much much less. Sure, I could build something with an eye toward low power consumption, but I still doubt I'd be able to do as well as most off-the-shelf networking gear.

> But again it comes back to hardware. And wow what a tragedy we have been undergoing.

Agree that the 11ax situation is terrible, but consider pretty much all WiFi support is terrible on Linux for a while after new hardware supporting new standards comes out. I'm hoping that this situation will just get better with time, though I do worry that manufacturers are locking these things down more and more and are becoming even more unfriendly toward open source than they have been previously... which has always been not great.
Better Vendors: Any.

I currently have a Teclast laptop that I imported and wiped to put Linux on. Worked out of the box.

Previous system was a Chromebook Pixel LS. Ran like a champ.

It's not difficult to get a Debian derivative running on virtually any system by this point. And that's what PopOS is. A Ubuntu spin. You think they're putting work into the kernel for hardware support? Hah. Nope. They're not.

Linux Focused? Well, if you want Linux that badly, you'll find a way to make it happen. It's easier to install Ubuntu onto a system than it is to install Windows 10.

If it means I have to buy a Dell XPS13 and format Windows first, at least I know I'll be getting higher quality hardware at a lower price instead.

System76 is Clevo garbage. Garbage with Linux is still garbage.
I figured the selling point is that it's sleek and fits inside the footprint of the set, rather than having to be cabled externally or dangle off a HDMI port like a Chromecast or Roku.
Classical liberalism is a retrospective name for one thread of liberalism. It does not—and this is important—encompass all liberals before some date, but one branch, influenced by a set of thinkers and writers who are also counted among the influences of other branches. It has its own wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

and the broader thread, in context, is traced here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

One point that may make the distinction clear is that in this sentence, from the article you linked: "During the mid-20th century, many with Old Right or classical liberal beliefs began to describe themselves as libertarians." The "Old Right" were opponents of Roosevelt, who himself sits at the base of the branch of what the "Liberalism" entry calls "Modern Liberalism"—but both are under the tent of liberalism, as were others then and earlier whose views did not line up with libertarianism.

Liberalism was not renamed libertarianism, even just in the US, and that's certainly not what's meant by liberalism internationally.

"A drive through is different and they get very low rates of drivers ordering only to drive away."

I hadn't realized this until I read your post, but most (not all, but most) drive-throughs that I've been to recently seem to be engineered to prevent people from ordering and then driving away.

"Engineered" like civil engineering, not social engineering.
They feature a single lane with curbs on either side, typically near the edge of the property (so frequently near a fence or wall, etc).

I suppose the person could order, pull through, and then drive past the payment window and keep going, but other than that it's definitely not easy to leave that single, bounded lane once you're in it.
The reason I use Xero is the integration with my bank, credit cards, invoicing, and payroll system.

Yea definitely an opportunity for improvement. 1920x1080 isn't a dealbreaker for me right now and I assume they'll improve it in future models.

Linux working out of the box is a must have for me, however. So far a few things here and there like configuring my mouse and "wake from sleep" while on an external monitor. Would prefer not to need to fiddle with these basics but so far I can deal with it.
> the polarization would be almost completely inverted

And how are you going to go about proving causation between pinkwashing and support for intelligence agencies? Do you think maybe the Trump/Qanon rhetoric around the FBI/CIA/Deepstate might have had something to do with republicans opinion shift? (your own link alludes to that)
I’ve taken the Acela train between NYC and BOS quite a few times. You can go straight from penn sta to south station or back bay, which is pretty convenient when compared to the airports.

As for speed: they don’t call it “Acela” for nothing: it can cruise at a blistering 80 MPH!! For up to 15 minutes! Actually in all my trips only once did it go that fast. And on that trip any gains were nullified by an unexplained 40 minute pause in the middle of nowhere (not near any station).

When I compare it to the experience of Thalys, TGV, ICE, Shinkansen (all of which at various times I have used for regular work trips) et al: what a joke. The US does as well at building infrastructure as it does at winning wars.
> Unless you do dozens of transactions every day, it's not much of a hassle to keep track of them manually.

I don't have too many transactions indeed.

I am actually contemplating to switching from my Numbers sheet to the Ledger command line tool. I do like that this tool is multiplatform and based on simple text files. And it shouldn't be too hard to write a few scripts to convert data from my banks and brokers into the format used by Ledger. I guess I'd need a day to setup everything, so perhaps it'd be a decent weekend project.

Eventually I would like to leave the macOS platform and not relying on Numbers would make the switch just a little bit easier.
It'd be cooler if the quantities didn't come formatted with thousands seperator commas and currency symbols. Then, the numbers could more easily be treated as numbers in SQL.
Thanks for your comment!

The giant pickup thing is a weird reflection of changing culture that I can’t quite wrap my head around. Old timey pickups tended to look like simple utilitarian farm equipmemt and kind of signified practicality or conservatism inasmuch as those were common rural values. Newer pickups have this almost scifi/military influenced styling and exaggerated proportions and I can’t help but think they are (subconsciously) being marketed at least somewhat to a Starcraft or Gundam watching type audience. These are still popular in rural US of course but now in my city there are lots of white collar men driving unnecessarily large trucks.

What you have written is about how you are judging liberalism.

You are saying it is insufficient and you are proposing that the criteria for that insufficiency is that has not eliminated intergenerational wealth.

Your position is understood.
I have to imagine there is quite a lot of hoarding going on, but by a different name. Normally I buy components for the next 6 months of expected use. TI sent me an email a couple weeks ago asking me to place orders for the next 18 months of use to guarantee delivery. So there I go placing orders for 3x what I normally buy. But it isn't hoarding, it is guaranteeing allotment.

The part brokers have locked in their quantities months ago, also increasing demand. What are you going to do.
OLAP database is just a copy, replica, or archive of data with a schema designed for analytical queries and not for transactional speed and robustness.

Cube means you can answer questions across dimensions of time, region, and the like. Temporal queries are not always simple.

You don't query your live transactional db to answer a question like, "are third week of February margins on Acme Widget Q better in place A or B."

That's really it.
That's your opinion. I personally think high contrast colour schemes are great, and use them whenever possible. I even bought a laptop with an OLED screen (XPS 13 9310) to further maximize contrast. I hate it when websites specify light grey text on a dark grey background; I find it so hard to read.

To give you an example of the sort of high contrast user interfaces I like, turn on he dark High Contrast theme in VS Code.
Coming from a retina display 1080p is a bit fuzzy. Definitely something I would need improved in future releases. But my biggest concern is whether Linux is ready for Mac users like me who expect things to "just work". If it just works, I can deal with 1080p. If it requires a mechanic, I don't care if it's an 8k display, I'm out.

Thank you for responding to the request for more info to satisfy curiosity. Operating system choice often _is_ a holy matter to people, and I'm sorry you seem to have gotten downvotes simply for mentioning your experience.

One of the issues with Linux is that it is no more "an operating system" than an automobile engine is a car; myriad operating systems exist which contain the component named "Linux", and most of them are designed to cater either to people who love getting into all the possible customisations or to people who share most of the same preferences as the designer(s).

The extreme customisability of most operating systems which include the Linux heart (kernel), tends to lead to inconsistent software behaviours and user interfaces. For instance, one OS with Linux might have _most_ applications respond to Ctrl-Q for "quit/exit", while a few stubbornly insist on Alt-F4, and sparse few use something else entirely. One result of this is that people's choice of a particular Linux-based OS and particular options (KDE vs. Gnome, Emacs vs. vi, ported vs native to their OS, and thousands more…) can also become a holy matter dear to their hearts.

It's perfectly reasonable for anyone to turned off by or annoyed by aspects of a system that clash with their familiarity or use-case. I hope you get more gentle responses in the future. Cheers.
