I agree now as an adult.

I avoid any establishment that is filled up with cheap labor. (I guess it's not PC to say that, but I just look around, and it doesn't take MFCC in psychology, to reconigize miserable low wage employees. Safeway is the exception. I can't afford to shop anywhere else.)

My brother loved working at MD's as a teen. It bought his first car, and CB radio. Plus--he knew it was a transitory job, and not a career. (My brother got lucky in life. He kissed my father's arse when he was dying, and ended up with a million dollar home. Money from 3-4 generations going to my brother. If all likelihood, he would probally be dead, or homeless, without it. I told my brothers story because it's very common America, but won't last.)

America used to fill these positions with teens, and semi-retired folks.

Now---corporations know they can pull in adults who really need the job.

Yes, that seems to have changed since Covid, but I don't think it will last.

No one wants to be homeless, and watch how companies will advertise their lousy jobs in the next few months.

That whole, "Get your side hustle on while we offer a chit part time job, and one day you will be a American Success."

The Republicans started the mantra before Delta, with the whole, "Work brings self worth. A hard days work build character. You don't want to be a slacker."

And it's always from the same politician, or poloticians, whom are nursing a hangover, burping up that steak dinner, with the famous father's last name, has a company that was investigated by federal government for wage/employment violations, who state is near the bottom in every conceivable metric.

So go out there and get your side hussle on. Don't get sick. Wear our app on your wrist, and remember we are always watching.

Should it be up to social media companies to integrate controls for people who lack self-control into their products? Should alcohol companies include a BAC meter on each bottle to determine if you can drink from it? Should casinos allow you to only withdraw a certain amount when you enter and no more?

I don't believe it's the place of these companies to implement these kind of controls. Governments will create regulations that force these companies to implement controls, but I don't believe that addresses the root cause.

The root cause is, why can't you control your social media/gambling/alcohol use? It's a wide ranging cause from genetics to mental health problems to other external causes. I believe those should be the first level of addressing from the government, but it's easier to just regulate

Open an issue. I would have to look into that.
I have a really hard time convincing anyone that they could have a specific, enumerable, sortable list of technical requirements, and that this is, on the whole, a good thing. Most conversions to DOORS I've heard of, though, basically were people taking ludicrously unorganized requirement documents and the heaps of hacky workarounds used to verify those documents, dumping it all into DOORS and Jira, and then saying that their resulting failure is the fault of DOORS and Jira.
What’s Coming in Nuxt 3?
A theory not postulated: when people are complaining about works in the modern aesthetic, are they saying they actually don't like the aesthetic, or they don't like the particular examples they regularly come in contact with?

Let's say a genuinely creative architect is tasked with building a library in a city along a river. He goes to great length creating a design that incorporates the nature of the location and makes an iconic landmark for the city, a new beloved classic. All the surrounding cities want libraries that look like that one which was so good. But these other cities have different geographies, copy and pasting the building ruins what made it appealing in the first place. You can pick up on some aesthetic notes, but without doing the hard work that was done for the original, you still wind up getting a much more generic and commoditized copy. For the vast majority of people, its these cheap imitations they will deal with day in and day out. They compare these new works to the older buildings which were truly designed with their cities in mind, and find the generic buildings lacking. They might note that the original looks good, but even a broken clock is right twice a day, and likewise just because someone used the style well once doesn't make it good.

You see this in many cases. Someone in a well tailored suit selected to match their figure looks great; but they are drops in an ocean of people wearing suits in standard sizes with maybe $10 of alteration work. There are loads of beautiful modern and abstract works of art; but they are typically lost in a sea of far more mediocre works and there is no real way to classify which is which without looking at them for yourself.

And note that the same principle would hold even if the current modern aesthetic embraced something other than minimalism. The Taj Mahal may be a beautiful work, but if a building of roughly the same style were common in every city, each made by the lowest bidder with little concern for the quality of the final product, you'd probably find the style extremely unappealing.

However our modern society has internalized normalcy. It is incredibly uncomfortable to stand out. Because a few people look good in well tailored suits, everyone in the office must wear a suit, or face the embarrassment of being a non-conformer. Or on a different coast, perhaps it is the one person who can really rock the suit who must nevertheless forego it to blend in with a field of t-shirts and cargo shorts. Being creative and individualistic means wearing a strange color pair of socks with the otherwise standard outfit - everything is unique, but in a standard framework where very little is original. Minimalism is thus a sensible choice - adding anything adds uniqueness but none of that uniqueness is integral.

> I have teacher friends, I don't know if anyone of them got infected, but absolutely no-one has been afraid or hysterical about the situation or thinking about quitting their job because of the pandemic.

There's a difference in how US teachers are treated, under ordinary circumstances, versus those in Sweden, I expect, that accounts for some of this. I'd not be surprised if the average US teacher is always closer to quitting than the average Swedish teacher.

> But there's no hysteria anywhere

Whether it was hysteria or not, the fact was that an awful lot of US teachers were ready to quit last year, if they couldn't teach remotely or in an environment with masking + distancing + quarantine-after-exposure. Enough that there's no way they could have had normal in-person school last year, over the whole country, especially while also trying to do distancing and such (you can't go to 40+ kid class sizes to try to make up for lost staff, and still distance). Again, quarantine-after-exposure policies and burn-out mean they're having serious trouble staffing schools this year. It would not have gone better last year, and trying to open in person without quarantine policies or remote-teaching options would have driven out so many teachers that it would not have made matters better.

> And everyone agrees that distance learning is absolute shit for kids, and those of my friends with high-school aged kids can clearly see that it was bad for their kids.

All school have suffered for what'll be 2.5 years, when this school year is over—if we're optimistic, perhaps 2 years total, because maybe the second semester of this one will markedly improve. Most schools are almost entirely back in-person this year (some still have online options, but I don't think they've had as many takers as those options had last year) and it is not going great. Not as bad as last year, but it's still not normal. Hopefully next year is better.
You wouldn't even be able to transfer the data out of memory at speed. Even if you overclocked your DDR4 ram to crazy levels - you'd tap out at 50GB/s - a far cry from 1Tbs/s.

There is very little practical use to speeds beyond 10 gigabit for home use unless you have some insane PCIE storage or keep a giant ram drive. (Which again asks the practical use category - what are you doing?)
What annoys me is that for some of those shows (most? all?), you either watch ads or you don't watch it. Had that happen with Alex Rider. Looks like a decent show when there's nothing else of better quality on. IIRC, the "first one's free", then it's ads after that.

"We don't want your money, we want you to watch ads."

There's nothing I need to watch that badly, thanks. But thanks to COVID, I haven't been in a hotel room for a while, so thanks for reminding me how hideous ad-supported television is.
If the goal is to calculate the correct column width, you have to do one pass through the data before writing the first row.

If the file can be read multiple times (not a UNIX stream), you can just read the file twice.

If the file is a stream, instead of retaining the entire dataset in memory, you can write to a temporary file and re-parse it after calculating the widths.

> People will need to accept each other and practice more tolerance and love. Cancel culture and it’s practitioners must be cancelled to get there.

Note that, with the groups they “cancel” in place of “Cancel culture and its practitioners,” the practitioners of what you call “cancel culture” would tend to agree with every word of this, which is the entire rationale for what you call “cancel culture”.
Your fallacy is in your statement “choosing optimism over pessimism”.

Have you ever tried to help somebody “choose” optimism? Have you ever struggled yourself to choose to have some trait you desire in yourself?

Have you ever had an intimate friend struggle with low self-esteem, and did you manage to help them? If you succeeded, do you think that the majority of us have that ability to help others?

I watch my friend teaching/helping the unwell, and I understand just how difficult it is to change what appear to be the most simple and obvious patterns of damaging behaviour. We all have our own flaws that we struggle with.
Why OSes suck and how learning from OpenBSD can make them less horrible (2019)
The burden of proof is on those who promote the lockdowns as an effective strategy to show how they help. This is because without that proof, so many other issues arise from legal, ethical, and practical perspectives that make supporting it not just non-scientific, but also highly irrational.

Legally, what right do our nations have to shutter businesses as they did? Where in the legal frameworks do they legitimately yield such enormous & violent authority over us? Did they do enough to protect & compenate us all against these violations of our rights?

Ethically, is this even a moral way to conduct statecraft during a pandemic? Is scapegoating appropriate at a time like this, and were we right to erode so much of our monetary base to provide the benefits that states did to their citizenry, necessitated by the lockdowns in the first place?

And practically, how many people have been harmed or killed by the conditions of lockdowns? How many people committed suicide who otherwise wouldn't? How much industrial output was sacrificed and how did this impact the deaths of despair that rose considerably over the last 1.5 years? How many people didn't get their cancer detected early enough to survive it? How many people didn't get their emergency medical care due to the chaos caused by lockdowns and perished as a result? Did these figures remain low enough to make the actual policies of lockdown worth it?

We used to have one hour of electricity supply followed by one hour of blackout during the day in Summer. I'm talking about 10 years back in the Indian subcontinent- halfway around the world from US where I live now. Sometimes 1 hour blackout would turn into two. A large part of the time we had supply was spent pumping and storing water. Come to think of it, we made sure that every drop of that water and every minute of that electricity supply was used efficiently. I am sometimes reminded of this memory these days when I let my standard-size SUV idle with the AC running while waiting for a latte.

> Once we get rid of proof of work, and transactions

Neither of which I suggested getting rid of above (though to be clear, proof of stake and proof of burn both exist). Transactions are especially handy when you move beyond merely recording the drivers' licenses themselves and actually start recording things like, say, traffic tickets or new endorsements or what have you - and that handiness is significantly improved further when agencies are sharing a single public blockchain instead of trying to maintain umpteen different internal databases explicitly tracking each other.

Even taking your assumption that a blockchain and a database mirror are "literally the same thing", you're still missing the key difference: that the former gives you the benefits of the latter (or at least the ones relevant to this context) with significantly less effort. It's similar in comparison to, say, using IPFS v. mirroring an FTP server; yes, you can create a bunch of FTP mirrors, and reinvent a poorly-specified ad-hoc substitute for half of IPFS, but it'd be a heck of a lot easier and more robust to... just use IPFS.

I think this is just a conspiracy theory. What's happening is that capitalism sets ridiculous incentives, so people are compelled to set up all these blogs and create these memes to maybe get fractions of cents per interaction. The real scandal is not that the Russians or the Chinese are attacking democracy this way, it is that we are waisting so much productivity on this (both users, and people working on such campaigns).

PS: If the described tactic really works, I gotta try it out in order to take over the world.

I like the other answers you got, but will add one observation. Once we get energy fro, non-carbon emitting sources, it’s possible to put energy into capture without emitting more CO2 at the same time. So whether it takes 0.5 kWh or 10 kWh to capture the amount of CO2 that produced 1kWh for us originally, as long as it came from renewable resources, we can largely do it.

All good points. I would also like to point out that the blog post seems to conflate the "envelope from" (SMTP MAIL FROM) address with the "From: header" address without drawing a distinction between the two.

This is problematic because they are often different in practice, and while SPF acts on the envelope address, DKIM acts on the header address. The recipient typically only sees the header address in their email software. Because of this, SPF on its own is not very useful as a way to avoid spoofing. It does prevent backscatter, however, because bounces are sent to the envelope address.

When a DMARC record is present for the header address domain, the envelope address domain is required to match the header address domain for an SPF check to be considered valid. This makes SPF much more useful when combined with DMARC. Sadly that also makes mail forwarding a harder problem for the same reason - which is interesting given that Cloudflare just started offering an email forwarding service…

While these standards are useful to prevent spoofing, a more practical reason to use them is that end user mail services don't tend to like you very much if you don't. Microsoft (Outlook), for example, is notorious for outright rejecting messages if they don't have valid DMARC.

My understanding is that the data indicate that children do not transmit Covid as easily as adults, so the situation is a bit more subtle than you seem to suggest here.
To be fair to Von Neumann, you’re displaying hindsight bias. It is possible that with the knowledge they had at the time, a preventative or pre-emptive attack would have been rational, maybe even with the best ‘expected outcome’.
Yeah. There's so many subsidies and tax laws etc as well. It seems it's really hard to refactor so the incentives would make sense, while still keeping all groups even relatively content.

Mass air travel will resume now that the pandemic is subsiding. Saw plenty of airplanes on sunday already... That's a massive fuel sink, and as far as I understand, with very low tax rate and fuel cost.
> If you don't own your domain, email is probably not very important to you,

Or, you're part of the 95-99% for whom email and the Internet is of critical importance but because of the ease of access, and the technical minutiae, and generally misplaced trust in corporations, you never learn why this might matter.

Sorry to say it, but I find your comment condescending.
A lot of public schools in MA did just that. Our school district had two cohorts, one of which was in school Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri one week, the other the next week, alternating. Fully remote Wednesdays, ostensibly to do cleaning/sanitizing. Parents could also opt for their kids to be fully remote, and some kids (e.g. those whose parents were teachers, not necessarily in our district) were in school full-time, except Wednesdays.

It was definitely much better than remote-only.

Parts of the US are catching up, but it is distributed very unequally (and often much more expensive).

Anecdotally, I moved into a newish (~5 year old) apartment building in Seattle and had my choice of three ISPs that each provided symmetrical gigabit for around $60/month, delivered via an Ethernet jack in a low-voltage cabinet in my closet.

Getting it wired up took one phone call, wherein my switch port was activated remotely and I could grab an IP address and start using the internet. IPv6 via DHCPv6-PD and everything else worked without a charm.

On the other hand, where I live in (also Seattle) is served by exactly one ISP via DOCSIS, providing 1000/35 but nothing more. It can vary block by block here unfortunately.
I lump them together because their primary skills are charm and persuasion rather than hands-on subject matter expertise. To me, it doesn't matter whether the end result turns out to be fraud or incompetence, they get ahead of honesty and competence by being phony smooth-talking salesmen. Like a role playing character that puts all their skill points into "Charisma" and nothing else.

And it's not just high profile entrepreneurs. Everyone knows people like this, they're all around us, climbing the corporate ladder. Mediocre performers, but boy can they "look the part", flash a big gorgeous smile, and talk in ways that sound pleasing to leadership but are ultimately empty words.
This is already how it works. The people have control over public schools. They elect the officials who oversee it. If everybody wanted public schools to do X, public schools would do X and there wouldn’t be anything anyone could do about it. We can amend the fucking constitution. The problem isn’t a lack of power for the people, it’s that people collectively aren’t very smart. There’s no civil solution to that.
