I've heard 3x income as a rule of thumb for how much house one can afford, but it looks like that's never been widely followed. It also doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense as interest rates have varied so widely - a better rule of thumb might be a ratio between the total amount of payments over the life of a mortgage and one's income.
All legitimate concerns, but presumably delivery trucks / lorries are guilty of all of those right now? I would be unhappy if drone delivery made things worse, but there's also the possibility it could make them better (I'd rather be hit by a drone than a truck, for example).
I had grown up on win9x and had lots of fun! I had contact with other computers/architectures/OSes before, during and after it; so I always wanted to get free of wintel, but that didn't prevented me from having lots of fun.

I tried linux on my first computer. Minilinux was very limited, mostly a toy on that machine. Debian didn't had support for my keyboard at the time, so I never installed it. I tried a RedHat based distro later just to discover it had no support for my soundcard and winmodem, so I had to go back to windows.

Since the machine was somewhat limited for a late 90's early 2000's, I had to take some care when using it. I discovered that regedit could be run from DOS and that it could backup and recover the register without needing to boot windows. I simply stopped uninstalling programs: just deleted them and recovered a previous register state. With a bit of care I could use the same machine from 1998 to 2001 without ever reinstalling windows. Friends were impressed because of that.

I could use that machine to run video game emulators, abandonware, delphi and c++ builder 5, turboc, IRC, p2p, browsing the web, listened to mp3 and watched webstreams with realplayer. When the matrix movie arrived I could watch it using xvid/divx with some special configurations to make it run fast enough on my machine. The software was well optimized to do so much with a 200mhz mmx processor with 32MB RAM.

Later, the soundcard gained support in 2007 and I replaced the modem with a network card, got 2 floppy drives units, 2 HDDs a cdrom drive and a cdrw-recorder. It became a capable linux box, but it was too late and I already had a new machine which had better compatibility with linux than with windows. But I still have some fond memories of that machine, I repent throwing it away.
same here. I don't think this tool was designed for our use case
Yeah I've got stuff I want to do. I can't. No money, no time, no people and even when I had all that, I fucked it all up and shat it down the toilet. So I spend time shitposting and reading other people's shit. It's easy, fast, and takes my mind off the miserable game called life.

For many, the solution is to get a life. For me, it's to get rid of mine. If someone could do it for me, that'd be great.

In Manchester in the UK there was one in 2019: an old railway line which has been converted into a bike path, the Fallowfield loop. Groups of teenagers were attacking cyclists with hammers and logs. I believe that the police woke up to it and it has calmed now but it was definitely a no-go area for me for a few months. I'm pretty sure someone tried to drop a fist-sized rock on me while I cycled under a bridge...

Yup, exactly. Was wondering if there was any data in the evidence medicine based community to be concerned about. Sounds like there isn't.
Not him but i'm pretty sure that's not what he or anyone making that reference means in this scenario.

Owning a bike or a car doesn't net one the relevant power of what one refers to when one says capital in this scenario. For example the NYPD mentioned gets millions in donations and i can assure you those don't come from gig workers who feel like they need more protection from them.

I also try to avoid double meanings and also indicate the part of the question I am answering as often times people have different shorthand for the question they are asking than I might have.

I manage a self-hosted version at work for the development environment but we use the paid, cloud version for production environments.

Managing the self-hosted version is farily trivial (the catch is that, anyway, we don't provide SLAs or HA for the dev environment.

My main advice would be to:

1. use ZFS, keep the docker-compose files along with the data volumes on a dedicated dataset

2. take a snapshot before every update, delete the snapshot when users confirm everything is working okay

3. for the love of god make sure you perform every minor version.

I did have to do a 9.1.2 -> 21.5.x upgrade and it's been quite a PITA. In Sentry's defense, it was quite a jump. And in Sentry's honor, I was able to retain projects, users and most useful things (except events, but for the development environment who cares?).

Upgrading to, say 21.5 to 21.6 was quite a breeze instead.

I think it depends on your location. In the US, I think there is little to stop people being fired for any number of reasons including, "I don't think you fit in". In most of Europe, being fired is very rare because it usually requires a major malicious or negligent act and even then, you are more likely to be warned first.

If someone simply isn't working well enough for their role, there is usually some kind of capability process after which their employment might be terminated but we wouldn't usually call that being fired and if that is made clear in the job description and in regular feedback, I don't think most people would consider that unreasonable.
I find that to be unlikely, frankly. There are a lot of strategies to achieve a better CICO ratio, and I think those have incredibly varied success rates for different people, but when it comes right down to it if you don't find a way to change that ratio then you will never succeed. In my experience, the most expedient way to do it is to count calories.

I also don't think this is anywhere near as "unhealthy" as people want to believe it is. I think that largely arises from our discomfort with being hungry, and our general intuition about which foods are "healthy" and which aren't. However, consider the case of nutrition professor Mark Haub, who ate nothing but garbage convenience store snacks for 10 weeks at a caloric deficit and not only lost 27lbs, but had all of his health metrics improve: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/...

>Is there a cheap way to test my tap water for said estrogens?

No test necessary. I can guarantee you 100% you have more than 1 estrogen in your tap water. Also multiple kinds of antibiotics, anticonvulcants, mood stabilizers.

The majority of estrogens in the water will be estriol, estrone, and estradiol. If you're salt water coastal where they keep that water around for long. You will also have equilenin, progesterone, and lots of BPA.

If you have wondered why filtering your water is important and why there's so many filtration options its because of this.

I’d be interested in seeing the total cost after accounting for interest in the loans, or monthly cost compared to monthly income. Most people don’t pay cash, and they pay more than the asking price due to interest. So high interest rate periods look artificially lower because they ignore a substantial amount of the price

> In medium/large companies, 99.9% of employees can be fired at the end of a HR process and that HR process is something only their line manager can start.

True but note in the US this isn’t for the same reasons that happens in (for example) Europe.

Big companies are better to sue than small companies (they have more money) and were you really fired because you never got any work done or because your manager simply didn’t like you because of something you didn’t control or because they didn’t tell you what you were supposed to do? So the company lawyers and HR people put together a long list of things to go through to make such suits hard to file.

One of those processes are to put people “on a plan”: written warning with super-explicit instructions of what to do. I’ve found in a couple of cases this has been the (final) wake up call that has made someone get back on track. But what sucks is that most companies just treat it as a check off item: once someone is on a plan they can never recover.

Also when the problem is the manager, feedback rarely flows in that direction.

Some make more sense in other languages, e.g. French has Lundi (Lune/Moon), mardi (Mars), mercredi (Mercury), jôdi (Jupiter), vendredi (Venus) (samedi refers to the Sabbath and dimanche to God, though).

The Foodora workers who unionised and won a better contract in Norway were never self-employed, they were always on part-time contracts. What they achieved was for their equipment (bikes, smartphone and clothing) to be compensated by their employer and a higher hourly wage.

Agreed. As much as any other factor, that anyone with a bit of money can now buy an expensive house feels like the thing making the housing prices go up. (As well as our general inability to build.)

This sounds every much like my experience. After being diagnosed with diabetes and greatly reducing the carbs in my diet, I lost around 25% of my body weight over about eighteen months. (Overall I'm down a third from my peak weight ten or so years ago.)

I don't make a special effort to "diet" in the sense of eating less food, I just watch my carb intake. It's like I'm back in high school, in the sense that I don't put on weight even if I overeat (as long as I keep the carbs reasonable).

I don't necessarily think it's the diet for everyone, but it is certainly the right diet for my body.
This is an absurdly limited point of view. If I charge 3x as much as other vendors, then force them to raise their prices by firebombing businesses that don't comply, it might (conceivably) maximize profit, but most people would think it unfair, largely because it was founded on unfair restraint of trade.

I don't think the prices on music were unfair before. No one has to have music, and there was no evidence that the prices were enforced by unfair practices. They were just higher than people wanted to pay.

But most people would say that Enron's manipulation of energy markets was quite unfair.
Considering what the US and Australia did to France a few days ago, the EU might not want to depend on LNG from the US. With Russia they know with whom they are dealing.

France and Germany are the EU's most influential countries and the US is continuing to meddle in EU matters even after Trump left. From the EU point of view there is next to no change since Biden took office and now even France is questioning NATO.
The problem with those tweets that you've liked is that they're misinformation. They may sound reasonable on the surface but what they're saying is factually wrong. Make sure to fact check any statements you read on Twitter, going with the most plausible-feeling explanation is a form of bias.

Unless your short your estimate seems odd. The torso is about 1/2 the volume of the average adult and people are close to the density of water of 1kg/l or 2.2lb/l. So 30l would be the expected torso volume of someone weighing ~60kg or ~130 lb.

Edit: “47% trunk and neck” so 40% torso would be 75kg and 165lb seems reasonable as a smaller person would also need less air.
Draconian is a strong word (but cool-sounding) and what I really mean is "antiquated". But they are also somewhat blunt instruments and have historically lead to unwanted consequence. We already have more modern, market-oriented solutions, like vouchers and tax-credit housing, but those have problems too. My bigger point was, Millennials tend to react big when specific issues rise to the forefront, and if there aren't better solution than what is already on the table, we risk people clinging to whatever ideas do exist, which in the realm of housing, are mostly shit ideas.
Potentially it is worth looking at the difference between EU countries and the UK. Not a perfect experiment one Data-Point to Data-Point basis, but maybe useful on an aggregate basis.

One could argue that the firing decision should be communicated in a meeting intended to discuss either some incident that causes the firing or a previously scheduled meeting on the progress (i.e. lack of it) a performance improvement plan or some equivalent. Firing should not be arbitrary, there's some reason for it that the person would/should know, so that reason (whatever it may be) is a reasonable topic to mention in the meeting invite.
