It's generally pretty fast, about what I'd expect if I was connecting to the box directly (which you technically are, I believe). Battery drain is probably a thing, but I honestly haven't noticed; my phone battery pretty much only needs a charge by nighttime, same as it was pre-tailscale.
I had to do the same back in 2002-ish. The "9/11" attacks and the resulting political vortex of negativity were pushing me toward depression.

I stopped reading the news, cut out talk radio, and focused on reading books and listening to music in spare time. Was massively happier.

It feels like we're reaching another one of those angst-saturation moments where the news media is just bad for mental health.
"Data from the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory indicate that particles from brake wear, tyre wear and road surface wear currently constitute 60% and 73% (by mass), respectively, of primary PM2.5 and PM10 emissions from road transport, and will become more dominant in the future."

the amount of "chance" surrounding the 9/11 event truly boggles the mind. I can't think of any other historical occurence that even comes close
Edit: I misread the article.
Jean Charles de Menezes was 27 when he was murdered by police officers at Stockwell Station in London, a few weeks after the July 7th attacks in 2005.

He was wearing a suspiciously big jacket when he left his flat. He lived near someone who was being surveilled in relation to the attacks, and word went over the radios that a guy was coming - the guy is coming - he's going into the tube - look at the jacket, he must be wearing a bomb belt... he was rushed by cops, pinned to the ground(!) and shot in the head. That was that for Jean Charles. Another innocent fallen on the home front of the terror wars.

There was a dragged out, unsatisfactory investigation, and some grumbling, unconvincing placement of blame, no punishments and no change to procedures. All these years after it still makes me mad as hell.
Well, in 2008 it turns out AIG was on the other side of a huge number of the trades. Or Lehman Brothers. So the answer is, ultimately, the US Government.
It sounds unlikely to me that some terrorists have figured out a secret way to collapse skyscrapers with an airliner that architects and engineers haven't figured out already and which wouldn't be part of the curriculum of becoming an architect or engineer in the first place.

Romans and Greeks were a little cosier than British and Japanese though. In addition to Greece not being far, southern Italy was called Magna Graecia for its Greek population, and it's my understanding that Roman aristocrats and politicians often spoke Greek.
The public's focus on refusing to install police cameras in every room of their home is making it impossible to stop The Terrorists and costing thousands of lives. Bookstores' and libraries' focus on selling any book they choose without our approval makes it so Radicals can recruit anyone, anywhere and at any time resulting in countless people thinking hateful or incorrect things.

Terrorism and violence has nothing to do with the police failing at their jobs or the upper classes gutting local communities, quality of life, art and spirituality or mismanaged and murderous foreign policy, or anything like that -- just give us more control and you will be happier and safer.

I am using Adwaita, the stock Gnome 40 theme. Note: inactive windows. You are showing an active window on the screenshot below. On inactive windows, the unfocused tab background color is #f6f5f4. The focused tab background color is #f7f6f6. Call me colorblind, but I simply cannot distinguish between these two shades.

On Windows 10 it is actually worse, since Proton it is ignoring my bright-blue accent color, so by default both the color of active and inactive windows is the same gray.

with poll()/select() I don't see how you can avoid checking every FD at least once (poll's fd counter aside), vs. epoll() only returning those in the desired state

>The main objections to vaccine passports in England aren't privacy, they're that it discriminates against those who refuse to get vaccinated.

Plenty of Canadians, like myself, have huge objections to the privacy implications of our passport program.
I'm not talking about the millimeter wave scanners TSA has where they make you take off your shoes and take out all your stuff. We're talking 1-2 officers who quickly glance inside your bag and maybe a metal detector you walk through, similar to the security at a football game. It's more intended as security theatre by the presence of officers to discourage petty crime than to catch terrorists.

Forcing criminals to move to the streets makes public transportation more appealing, I think that's obvious enough.
Sounds like some good long term planning. But if Covid is the issue, isn’t it time to discuss the correlation between obesity and covid hospitalization? Sounds like in the short term, a war on obesity (sugar) would help more than anything.

Where do you start?

Closing the boarders unnecessary/racist to everyone closing their boarders.

Masks won’t help to everyone must wear a mask. Wear 2 of them.

Flatten the curve to no one can get sick.

The vaccine won’t arrive for a long time to everyone should get the vaccine.

Herd immunity won’t work until we get to 70% vaccinated.

We need 70% vaccinated to we need 80% vaccinated.

The vaccine will keep you safe to the non-vaccinated are making the vaccinated unsafe.

We won’t force anyone to get a vaccine to you can’t participate in society without a vaccine.

From 2 shots to this will be a yearly shot like the flu.

From there’s no way this was the result of a lab leak to this was possibly a lab leak.

I understand the situation changes but maybe they should just admit they don’t really know but they think such-and-such might be helpful and people wouldn’t distrust them.

Well lets be clear then that there is zero published evidence and all that remains is a perfectly executed cover up (which is both unprovable and unfalsifiable).
Police like this person are lazy. They are interested in blanket wiretapping, because it is too much work to go to a judge to try to justify taking away someone's property (PC, phone etc.) to access encryption keys.
My point was that it seems more likely that size_t was created to represent sizes than to represent indexes.

I don't disagree that size_t is an appropriate type for indexes, but I don't think indexes are literally the reason it was created.
I'm loving all recent GNOME and GTK changes like flat design, blurred fonts, forced Adwaita theme, racist CoC, no SSDs, libhandy's bait and switch, breaking integrations other projects spent years building, stopthemingmy.app, demanding public apologies from vendors in pull requests, it's like christmas! The concept of accelerationism might need a revision.
How do any of these complaints support the need for "security checkpoints"? A city lacking a subway system altogether does not support your statement that transit systems need security checkpoints to keep out the "riff raff." The two things aren't even related to each other. Furthermore there are many clean and efficient systems in Europe that don't even have turnstiles, let alone security checkpoints.

Aside from your complaints about the BART, everything you've catalogued here either reflects a lack of investment, or the old age of US subway systems as compared to the newer transit systems in Asia. Chicago and Boston's subway systems are among the very oldest subway systems in the world. They both began operation in the 1890s. Shanghai's subway system opened in the 1990s. It's also convenient that NYC, home to one of the world's very largest subway systems, didn't make your list, but Shanghai and Beijing did. Finally, it's not necessarily a good thing that authorities in China "don't care about making too much noise." NIMBYism may be a problem, but so is a government that is unresponsive to the petitions of its people.

The US needs more investment in public transit. There's no arguing that. But your suggestion that "security checkpoints" are necessary to have good transit just isn't true.

EDIT: The Boston suburbs are served by an extensive rail system. You may have missed it because it runs as a separate line from the main subway. Here's a map: https://cdn.mbta.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/2020-02-com...
That's fascinating. 3 seems like a good average number.

I think there are minimums too. It depends on whether your reports are experienced or not. If they're experienced, any number is fine. However, if they're inexperienced (i.e. interns, or fresh out of college), you really need to manage 2 or more. 1 is weirdly a bad number.

Managing a single inexperienced direct report is truly challenging and suboptimal, both for the manager and the report. Having no peers to calibrate themselves to, the report feels insecure and is either too eager to please or becomes overly dependent. It's hard for the manager to know how to manage too -- you want to avoid micromanaging but everything you do is going to carry undue emotional weight on the report because they have no other reference points because they have no peers. If I had to do it again, I'd rather have at least 2 direct reports or none at all. 1 is just not good.
Reason they have nukes: Because China more or less gave them to the country, in an utterly irresponsible move in a game of asian geopolitical chess.
That was the #1 trending topic on Twitter last year for a long time. Public officials supported it. I think the woke call what you’re trying to do, “gaslighting”.

It will have to be done at some point. It's also an unjust policy to leave these ice vehicles riding around because not everybody is allowed to drive but everybody suffers the loss of life due to pollution. Before there was no alternative, but now there is one there is ample justification for a ban.
once you start accepting the existence of "noble lies" told by authority figures, why do you continue to trust them?
The exact same reasoning justifies murder.
It is complicated. Some people who come from a Catholic or Orthodox background still want to identify with that background as a cultural identity (e.g. "cultural Catholic") even if they no longer believe in its doctrines or follow its practices. The same happens sometimes for Protestants too, but seems to be somewhat less common among them–a Protestant who stops believing is more likely to just be a "none" than to call themselves "culturally Protestant".

One can point to some examples of "cultural Protestantism" though. Northern Ireland: in the 2011 census†, over 40% of its population identified as "Protestant", but for many of them it is primarily a cultural identity rather than a religious one. The outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins has repeatedly called himself a "cultural Anglican", and I'm sure he'd not be the only person to say that (although Anglicans disagree among themselves about whether Anglicanism is Protestant, so a "cultural Anglican" may not necessarily consider themselves a "cultural Protestant")

> but usually wont consider themselves Protestant without having made a formal choice to follow Jesus and join a church (whatever that means from within their denomination).

That's a biased criterion because the criterion itself is based on Protestant cultural assumptions, which in turn are based on Protestant theological assumptions. Many Protestants believe one becomes a Christian by making "a formal choice to follow Jesus". Catholics and Orthodox believe one becomes a Christian by baptism, and infants who are incapable of making such a choice are regularly baptised. It is not that Catholics and Orthodox do not care about personal faith, they do, but they do not make it the central focus in the way that many Protestants do.

And that (in part) explains why there are more cultural Catholics than cultural Protestants – to Catholics, the Church is first and foremost a community, and once you are in, you are in for life – maybe you no longer attend, don't believe, don't want to have anything to do with it – but if you ever change your mind, you'll be welcome back with a minimum of fuss, as if you'd been there all along. So Catholic theology encourages the "cultural Catholic" phenomenon in a way that Protestant theology does not.

† The 2021 census results are due out next year, which will give us a more current picture of Northern Ireland's religious demographics
meta comment: the website you're viewing when you click that link is generated using Jupyter Book , which is like the best thing ever https://jupyterbook.org/intro.html

Imagine all the beauty of .Rmd (easily generate books by combining markdown explanations with executable cells), but adapted for the Python ecosystem (jupyter notebooks).

Jupyuter-book is a really well thought-out project. You create the book with a _toc.yml file:
https://github.com/tum-pbs/pbdl-book/blob/main/_toc.yml and all the config is in one file: https://github.com/tum-pbs/pbdl-book/blob/main/_config.yml (the build system leverages Sphinx which is the docs workhorse in the Python world)

One of the coolest things is the "Launcher" option which gives readers the options to "run" any notebook interactively (using the rocket button in the top right). It's a one-line config https://github.com/tum-pbs/pbdl-book/blob/main/_config.yml#L... A similar config would enable the "Launch in Pybinder" option which is a free ephemeral jupyter provider, see https://mybinder.org/

This "execute anywhere" option is nicely abstracted away as the `thiebe` library, and there is even POC work to run a pyodide kernel (https://github.com/executablebooks/thebe/issues/465) so soon all of this goodness will work offline in your browser!

As an educator, it's hard not to get excited about the future, given the pace at which learning/teaching tooling is developing!
It’s not shilling.

> Covid is no different.

Covid-19 is literally a neurological disease. It causes the body to attack itself, like an autoimmune disease, which is what is leading to the incredibly high number of severe cases leading to death. And all of the long-term, quality-of-life-impacting side-effects that have nothing to do with respiratory viruses.

This has been reported for over a year.

> It’s life. There are no guarantees.

There's no guarantee you will get AIDS Or HepC if you have unprotected sex. Time to throw away the rubbers, we can't stop living life now can we?

Oh, wait. You can still fuck with rubbers. I guess you don't have to choose between not fucking or getting AIDS.

Just like you don't have to choose between being a hermit and making out with a dozen strangers at a bar. These things called "masks" are there to reduce risk without forcing us to stop living life.
I'd be OK with just leaving the leaves on the ground, to be honest.
Not really. Cheney was under the influence of Ahmad Chalabi, who was a deep Iranian asset. Chalabi's job was to get the US to invade Iraq and dispose of Saddam. He succeeded admirably, and was given an award by Iran.

Since the two doors are not in the same location in space, there is no absolute "simultaneously".

What one frame of reference sees as a simultaneous closure of the doors looks like non-simultaneous closure of the doors in another frame of reference.

Simultaneity means that two events coincide in time and space.

Different time and/or space means: not simultaneous!
> I expect pollution to be as much of a driver of the push for electric cars as climate change. It's something that affects people directly, immediately and noticeably - it stinks.

Ya, this is why I expect China to follow through with their EV plans much more thoroughly than the USA. Global warming is abstract, but bad dirty air is a very concrete motivator. For that reason, urban in the states with bad air pollution like LA or Salt Lake City should be big into this also (though bad in the USA is 100+ 2.5 PPM, whereas in China it is 300+ 2.5 PPM).
Yes. Fighting obesity decreases the risk of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Just a reminder that a larger portion of today's market value is made up from Tech stocks. Tech stocks are typically higher valuations and P/E multiples, giving a skewed data point perspective vs. 20 years ago.
Well, then you should be able to find some excellent examples of public officials (I'll welcome comments from the CDC, WHO, state level health authorities, or similar expert organizations) making the claim that "no one can ever get sick again"! I look forward to the voluminous citations supporting your claims.

As an aside, I find it amusing yet entirely unsurprising that you're of the persuasion to believe the term "woke" is somehow a pejorative. But nice work throwing around what you believe to be insults.
That's a good answer, although the neo-Nazi groups appear more dangerous in terms of what they might do not what they do.

It seems to me that the real threat here isn't so much terrorism (or things that rhyme) but given the amount of surveillance in the UK just which sorts of terrorism are allowed by the government.

Groups that are allowed to do bad things become a sort of defacto government paramilitary. That's the case where there's a real force multiplier.
I wonder how GNOME Files breadcrumbs bar will look with this new design applied.
Fundamentally ? Not too much. AMule and other similar clients use both the eDonkey and Kademlia protocols. Kad is a DHT too, only taking different approaches to it than torrents do. Part of it includes it being searchable. Otherwise, similar P2P with buckets and downloading files in verifiable chunks.
Another important factor I think is something that Robert Sapolsky's research has brought to light.[1]. Inequality and poverty itself causes significant health burden. That is to say, even when one accounts for the material disadvantages of the poor, different lifestyle patterns and so on, stratification itself contributes to adverse health outcomes in lower classes.

>"Psychologist Nancy Adler has demonstrated that how people rate how they are doing, relative to others, is at least as predictive of health or illness as are any objective measures such as actual income level, and research by epidemiologists Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett has shown that by just about every health indicator—infant mortality, overall life expectancy, obesity, you name it— inequality can be even worse than poverty. In the Whitehall studies, Marmot found a fourfold difference in rates of cardiac disease mortality between the lowest and highest rungs of the British Civil Service, despite the fact they were all paid a living wage"

All of the outcomes based effects on death in this article are of course real, but it's astonishing that, according to the research of Sapolsky and others, inequality itself can cause stress and inflammation responses that can account for up to half of perceived difference in health outcomes.

American society by and large is simply significantly more stressed and it has real impact on the biology of the population.

ASCAP, SEACAM and BMG I think are the big three licensing orgs (USA). When you buy licenses from them they give you some paperwork that explains where the fees go. They even have a person explain it to you on the phone. (They took steps to pre-emptively high prices) I've cancelled those contracts awhile ago so I don't have handy numbers. It might even be on their sites?
