The non-geostationary design in low-earth orbit is mentioned with not much detail in this article and would generate far less power for a particular receiving location since it only periodically receives power -- so there are various objections to that approach as well.
In the case of the geostationary energy being sent through the atmosphere to the receiver -- they mentioned 2000MW of power being delivered -- assuming you use the area of a house (as viewed from top down) as an area to compare against, by some rough calculations roughly 10KW would be impinging upon a house surface that is roughly 1500sqmeters -- so 10KW of microwave energy directed into a house area -- that is non-trivial, so I assume your comparison between wifi antenna's was in reference to the low earth orbit solution -- the geo stationary solution referenced in the article is very powerful and would be in a totally different class from the approx sub 1W range coming from your wifi antennas. So I would be worried to walk through it.

These things happen, props to Hashicorp for communicating about it.

It would be easy to say that this is a failure of open-source in some way, but to do so would be unfair to the huge amount of work that companies put into tools like this, and the stewardship that they offer, both of which take a lot of time and money. If periods of low activity while teams change are the cost the community needs to pay for that, I think that's very fair.

Highly relevant: "lower case as Indigenous 'eventing' support resistance" (<https://www.mtroyal.ca/AboutMountRoyal/MediaRoom/Perspective...>)

> dynamically exactly enough buffering as is cost effective given current expectations of forward conditions considering the likelihood of supply irregularities, cost of production interruption, costs of inventory, etc.

"Exactly enough" means "no buffer". You are simply mislabelling inventory as buffer. What people needed was buffer beyond what is cost effective given current expectations because something unexpected happened causing improbable supply irregularities.
Once again: if you can't see their server software, you should assume they are FOS, and are capable of recording anything.

Also:
One more reason NAT was a good thing over IPv6. The closer we get to the platonic ideal of "UUID per person" the more likely justice systems will use it that way.

The day everyone learns how to self-host mail on ephemeral compute instances is the day law enforcement starts requiring MX domain logs to be maintained in a historical manner. Work around that magically, and some law'll go on the books to try to tame the super spooky criminal communicators hiding from law enforcement.

This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm a member of the C standard group and i strongly opposed defer. It creates an invisible jump, at the point of the execution. Its essentially a "comefrom" statement, a structure that was created as a joke trying to find something worse than goto. I'm much rather have people use goto. At least you can see where the goto statement is and find the label where it is going.
I don't understand why you're saying that hurts you, that doesn't make sense. If that developer wanted to add support for themes on top of libadwaita they could easily do that, GNOME is not preventing anyone from doing that. Also, what you have told the GTkeddit developer was very likely not correct, users can still load their own theme and libadwaita will not override that. The libadwaita change is about the platform theme, not the user's theme, the user theme still has top priority. I would suggest to correct your statement to that developer before they make an uninformed decision.

But that also leads to another point: libadwaita is intended to be a library that implements the GNOME HIG. If you are using libadwaita apps, that means you are using an app that is intended for GNOME -- so if you "want nothing to do with GNOME" then I don't understand why you would be intentionally using their apps and then complaining that they don't act right with a non-GNOME desktop. A developer who chooses to use that is intentionally choosing to go with the GNOME platform, and there is no reason to be upset about that -- it's not a decision that you have to worry about if you just want to ignore GNOME apps.

Also I think you have a misunderstanding of how Firefox is built, they are a cross platform app, they are not going to use libadwaita. They already have their own theme system too and have for quite some time: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/

I would advise to do more research before making assumptions about these things, if you have questions you'd like to ask then those are a better way to start rather than jumping to the worst possible conclusion. Please try to be careful about online misinformation.

>> let me have a few cigarettes, some fast food and a coke so that I could forget for some moments about my condition as a poor person”.

Just to state the obvious, this is ONE way to think but it's not how people who climb their way out of poverty think.

Eg - consider dirt poor Chinese immigrants to the US. They aren't thinking about coke and junk food, they are thinking about how to improve their family's lot and their kids' future, which is why they actually manage to.

I grew up immigrant and very poor. So I "get it" but I also know first hand that when you are poor, toy can't afford to be stupid or careless to boot.

Obviously the former is more fun, since you feel like you scaled the summit when you determine the exact count in all its glory.

Protonmail and fastmail are different offerings. Proton offers encryption features, while fastmail makes no effort to promote encryption.

It seems the lesson here is to always use a VPN (or Tor) if you're under such threat.
Some are calling it horse dewormer in bad faith. But a lot of cases of people ODing is actually from the horse dewormer version.

Also, ivermectin was originally only for animals, until it was found to work and be safe in humans. Additionally, it is not commonly prescribed in the US. It is only FDA approved for particular types of intestinal worms and externally for severe lice and scabies.

So while calling it horse dewormer is not fair, assuming we are talking about the human Rx version, it's also not that far off. Calling it just a "dewormer" would be more accurate.
Email from any serviceprovider can be considered as secure and private as public conversations.
The network is completely traceable.

It is traceable when the appropriate dataset is overlaid on top of it. Ie. IP addresses, known public keys associated with people/organizations. Within itself, you don't know who is sending or receiving.

Anti-censorship is worthless without protection.

Protection comes from anonymity/pseudonymity.

I do something on the network my government doesn't like, they track me down and put me in jail. Great system.

Yes, its almost as if you need to take steps and precautions to ensure that your government cannot track you down. You know where its even easier to trace your transactions and freeze your assets? Your bank account.

Protonmail customer here. Sigh. This is why I keep my own domain and can point it wherever I need. Dear Protonmail, email is fucking cheap and easy, I pay you $58 a year to solve stupid shit like this.

Vendors really need to figure out how to thread the needle of "No don't trust us" but still encourage customers to buy. Protonmail failed here. Apple's still very much in the "trust no one but us!" vibe, and it's just not sustainable.

I'll be switching my Protonmail use to default to Tor now. Open to Tor-first vendors...are there any?

I like how Brave has "open in Tor" displayed on Tor-mirrored sites. There's even an option for "Automatically redirect .onion" sites too. Makes it easy to switch over.

What if Protonmail pushed their Tor services more? "Guide to using Protonmail as privately as possible", have a switch for "Private Mode" that kicks you over to Tor/download Tor.

The problem is any such discussion is going to be entirely speculative. Sure, you can discuss what you presume the developers motives might have been but it reveals more about the opinions and personalities of the people holding the discussion than it does about the developers since all you’re doing is projecting your own story to fill in some pretty sizeable blanks.
That area of the city is built on infill, but that is by no means true of most of the city’s area.
A decent number of problems come down to “does it have a solution or not” and once it’s known there is a solution it becomes easier to find it in a way.

Humans are funny that way - the four minute mile is another example.
> "Exactly enough" means "no buffer".

“Exactly enough” means nothing by itself.

“Exactly enough for X” means different things based on X.

“Exactly enough for current production” means no buffer.

“Exactly enough buffering as is cost effective given current expectations of forward conditions considering the likelihood of supply irregularities, cost of production interruption, costs of inventory, etc.” does not generally mean “no buffering” unless conditions are expected to be extremely stable, or response time to changing conditions from identification to new deliveries are near instant and there is negligible risk of that changing, or there is negligible cost (including opportunity cost) to production interruption.

Ironically, in the question posed, the overdraft was the cheaper option. The question is flummoxing because most people think of overdraft fees as exclusively a penalty. They are that. But they can also be the cost of financing the overdraft.
> savings wiped out for lack of renter’s insurance

Wait what? How does renter's insurance have anything to do with savings? Or are these people who were keeping wads of cash under their bed?

Or is it that they had to use all their savings to buy back all their stuff due to disaster or theft? (which seems weird to me because I imagine most renters tend to have more value in cash+securities than stuff; home owners probably are the opposite because of the sheer value of the home)

> but the inefficiencies in power conversion would probably be a major downside (you're losing some energy on the conversion even if the device itself is powered off).

You can get around this[0] by starting the power converter in series with the battery (so the load pulls current through it to start it up) although that's: a: complicated, b: more conversion overhead when it is running, and c: rather difficult when you only have 1.5 volts (or 1 volt) to work with initially, compared to eg a 9-volt or 12-volt battery, which exacerbates problems a and b.

You could also make a reservation and submit your order from your phone and pay for it before you leave. Then you can show up at the estimated time, sit down, and immediately start enjoying your meal! No more waiting for the host to seat you, then waiting for the waiter to bring you water, then waiting for the waiter to take your drink order, then waiting for the waiter to take your food order, then waiting for all the food, then finally waiting to get the bill, waiting for the waiter to pick up your credit card, and waiting for the waiter to come back with your card.

There is so much inefficiency about your typical restaurant visit just begging to be optimized out. Restaurants win, too, because they can accommodate more customers per hour.

I tend to just not go to sit-down restaurants because they always manage to turn a 30 minute eating session into a 90 minute wait-fest.

Everything coming from Russia Today (and widespread online troll farm disinformation) is highly questionable. It's only being created and published for the purpose of instigating doubt in a very perverted way. In the 'us' against 'them' kind of way.

"Healthy food mandate" is a made up topic backed by nothing and no-one. It's pure air. Industrial food apocalypse is real. But it's affecting the planet as a whole, not just parts of the US, the poor, or else.

In my experience, there are many kinds of both.

- cat/dog people who are primarily just animal lovers and take in rescue cats/dogs

- cat/dog people who primarily want to have a non-human companion in their daily life

- dog people who primarily want to use a dog to aid them in some activity, e.g. hunting

- cat/dog people who primarily want to show off their dog with pride

- cat/dog people who primarily want to breed cats/dogs for sale to other enthusiasts

- dog people who primarily enjoy dominating another species and having them at their mercy

- cat/dog people who are running a kitten/puppy mill for profit

- cat people who are themselves independent and value that quality in cats

try using Tor to create a protonmail account and they require both javascript and a phone number.

phone number under an "anti-spam" guise is just suspect.
No, you can use any SMTP/IMAP/POP3 capable client instead of using their web interface.

You can only imagine how much of this remains out there. Also, see the recent Apple debacle. Letting government interfere with private business without a warrant is always, always bad. Even with a warrant it is troubling, but at least there are some checks and balances from the courts (supposedly neutral party)

> It's impractical to keep 12 months worth of supplies for manufacturing

They didn't need to. The initial disruption was only a few weeks. The problem is that once companies saw that there would be a shortage, they started buying up all the supplies they could to rapidly build up buffers, which increases the demand for those supplies worsening the shortage, which in turn means even larger buffers are required. It's a vicious cycle that all could have been avoided.
