This matches my recent experience. I researched plans on Washington state's health marketplace and found that while the available plans were generally much cheaper than COBRA, their coverage for out-of-network or out-of-state care was limited (e.g. "emergency" care only, where the definition of emergency is vague and up to the insurer). And even if you are careful to get taken to an "in-network" hospital, there are plenty of horror stories about inadvertently getting treated by an "out-of-network" provider while inside and being on the hook for the entire bill.

I couldn't find a marketplace plan that didn't give me real doubts about the possible financial impact of traveling to other states(!) so I decided to suck it up and pay for COBRA for peace of mind. Of course, COBRA will run out after 18 months, but I plan to get another corporate job before then.

TL:DR if you have (or recently left) a fancy corporate job here, you have access to a group plan with nice coverage. If you have to buy an individual plan, it seems you cannot get the same level of coverage even if you're willing to pay for it, and the available coverage leaves you with the risk of huge medical bills if you suddenly need healthcare while simply traveling within the country.

Probably a measurable portion of dial up Internet when compuserve started selling access to their dial plant to ISPs. I worked at a place in the 90s that used compuserve x.25 to get ppp access to our network. It was completely unprotected, all you needed to know was the six character node name and you were in.

Never got too far into X 25, I spent a couple nights after work cruising the network and finding all sorts of stuff that looked like it was on the same level of security.

This will be an interesting experiment. Since we are talking about dealing with objects coming directly for Earth, if this manages to change the orbit enough that the trajectory changes, it would clearly be the fastest response mechanism we could probably hope for.

Batteries vary a lot. Lithium iron phosphate seems pretty reasonable to me: they're made of lithium, iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, fertilizer, carbon, and probably a few more things I'm not aware of. Nothing particularly toxic or hard to recycle, and they tend to have very good longevity.

California needs to lighten up on regulations.

I like California. I have lived here my entire life, but the regulations/fees/fines are outrageous.

I looked into buying some property years ago near Bolinas. I asked the Realator why it was so cheap. She said you can't build-- can't even set up a tent. You can't even take a nap on the land. He, "So what's it good for?". Her, "Maybe leech lines?".

Want to build your cabin, or home.

In my town, of San anselmo, the town council decides pretty much every aspect of your build down to window placement (Homeowner might see Karen naked if that window isn't higher. They even ok your roof type, wether you use stucco, or shiplap, and even the Petunias in your front yard.

Neusom is trying, but ADU's are being used by rich people to gain more house footage.

And there's a part of me that wants all building stopped until we figure out this water problem.

I dare you to show me any mention in the scientific literature of a physiological addiction to facebook comparable to opioid or alcohol dependency. A reductionist approach of "everything in a body is chemistry" does not mean all chemistry is alike. Normal emotions to not create the same long-term effects in body's neurochemistry as things like opioids do. That's why people take them - you can't really just get rid of an excruciating pain by thinking about something fun. You can by taking drugs, because drugs meddle with the body chemistry in a much stronger way than the normal endocrine response does. That meddling has a bad side - since it's so much stronger and invasive, it creates permanent damage. Looking at cats on facebook also causes chemical reactions, but not nearly as strong as the drugs do.
Ah gotcha, I heard about that, the founders sort of stepped back from the FB groups version and started trying to push a standalone app version. I'm guessing the FB groups version is still more popular/useful.

My wife has to have something occupy one thought stream on a sensory channel in order to focus on the something she really wants to focus on on a separate channel. She usually runs three or four.

That’s disappointing but I suppose it is to be expected since the Internet allows cultural exports at light speed. I am reminded of the recent warning from the French education minister (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threa...):

Government should prove it can spend the money well before asking for more. The waste and incompetence I see in government is astounding. It's much worse than anything I've seen in private corporations.

Speaking specifically for America, the government can barely even agree on where it wants to spend its current "budget".

Say you have a couple who constantly fights over how to spend their $10m/yr budget, of which nearly half is borrowed, and 11% of which is spent on policing their entire neighborhood. Each year, they nearly default on their debt because they can't agree on a budget for the next year to keep paying interest.

You wouldn't give them even more money to solve their problems, because the problems are clearly with the amount and poor allocation of their spending. Why would you do the same with the US government?

KDE does have a long tail of (more or less maintained) apps, but there's nothing stopping you from installing the WM and plasmashell alone, along with a small selection of apps like Dolphin and Konsole. (You will spend a lot of disk space on KF5, and you might want to avoid Akonadi-based PIM apps too.) Do you think KWin/plasmashell is bad software (admittedly KWin has bugs, and plasmashell is worse off for being based off QML/JS and using janky drag-drop interfaces instead of traditional widgets), or are you avoiding it just because developers spend effort on apps?

You could try liquidshell as a plasmashell replacement, but I didn't like it (can't right-click to customize the panel, no Windows 7 style taskbar-dock IIRC).

There's Deepin too, but that's developed in China (which might be fine) and comes with a suite of applications (you probably won't like it either). I don't understand why you're fine with GNOME or XFCE though, since they also come with a suite of applications (GNOME has a file manager, text editor, terminal, IDE, browser, and VM GUI, and XFCE has a file manager, text editor, and terminal).
Innumerable court cases have turned on what are often negligible practical differences. Apple is said, legally, to "hold" copyright. Saying they "own" it would mean they have all sorts of rights and powers around it that we as a society choose not to grant to them.

That is not to say that numerous judges have not, on their own initiative, elected to grant holders many such powers. Judges can be just as confused as anyone, and more than some, and so exceed their statutory authority. Congress, moreso. But there is still a difference.
In rural Washington State, "off the grid" is often just one step above being homeless. I've seen some pretty bad looking shacks and yes, there are people living there.

Maybe at the moment but not during spring 2020. Other Scandinavian and Baltic states did not do the mistakes Sweden did and their death rates were 10 times lower. Also see Greece vs Spain and Italy. Well, Italy and Spain did not have change because they were the first to get hit by COVID-19 but Sweden had plenty of time to not make mistakes.

But perhaps Sweden is better off than others. You have now less burden on social system and economic loss was perhaps a little smaller, not much but perhaps still worth the sacrifice.

If you introduce a new file onto multiple ZFS 'branches', there is no way to have it stored copy-on-write.

But copying a file from one 'branch' to another is the only way to emulate a cherrypick or merge.

So after a while of active use with many branches, you're going to have a lot of redundant copies of files all over. You're no longer making proper use of snapshots, and it becomes less efficient than having a working directory and a directory full of commits that hard link to each other.

How deep are the water wells?

I was told that the deeper the well, the more expensive everything gets, from the pumps to the filtration systems.

Oooh, I didn't know that technique was called vowel space rendering. I love the look of it, but, more importantly, it seems like a fairly trivial way to encode multidimensional information and make it navigable by humans. (I'm having loose ideas for e.g. representing the health state of software systems this way, letting the operators "fly" around and get an intuition for what things are like. Coupled with sound it could get fairly immersive.
I broadly agree and many discoveries are made independently at the same time, after that ~199,000ky delay (including some of Newton's, such as calculus).

> its own scientists were aware for decades of how fossil fuels warm the planet

I see this repeated over and over, and it's wrong. The issue is, we live in a complex system. We cannot know how changing one thing will affect the system. It can't be calculated, and it's not amenable to simulation. So the correct way to state this would be something like "its own scientists suspected for decades that fossil fuels warm the planet".

I mean, if they were dishonest, call them out for that. Just don't say they were certain of something back then that we're not capable of knowing even now. Being insiders does not help -- it does not give them any special ability to calculate things about a complex system.
There is absolutely no need for encryption to get mesh working.

I think there is another agenda: There has always been political pressure to open the ham bands for commercial use. And the one thing that has kept the commercials out is being able to inspect their packets, eg the ban on encryption.

It seems that the push for encryption is a barely hidden campaign by commercial entities.

I'm all for working out a really good way to allow encryption. But it sure seems like the pervasive reaction to encryption is just resistance; and that makes me pessimistic.

Not sure why you're downvoted. Even as someone who likes Qt, I definitely noticed that apps like XNView MP load slower than Win32/MFC apps (a few years ago on an older computer though).

> nothing outperforms the native libraries in terms of usability.

Win32 apps by default have hard-coded widget positions, which can't scale dynamically to larger fonts (though you can try DPI scaling, which is a choice between "blurry" and "text sometimes overflows the hard-coded widget sizes"). Though I don't like how sloppy Qt apps with multiple resizable widgets in a row have strange scaling breakpoints caused by various size policies and [minimum] size hints, and Qt apps tend to stutter when resizing.

Out of curiosity, what does your screen reader emit? "Acute accented C"?

And would the onus not be on the screen reader to not produce gibberish for a simple letter?
Weird, it's just a "c" with an acute accent, most basic fonts (Arial, Courier new, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Comic sans) support it and screen readers should fallback to any of those https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0107/fontsuppo...

I wonder if "denialist" is still the best term to describe. Maybe for those who've been truly misled.

> companies are part of the things societies need to operate

Agreed, and so are individuals, and in fact individuals are what society exists for. Companies have no special place or status - they idea that they are somehow superior to rather inferior to real persons, is shocking.

> All they do is work to benefit consumers

The theory is that all they do is work to benefit their shareholders, to maximize profit. Certainly, they do many things that provide no benefit to their customers; as a simple example, Apple could charge much less, benefiting consumers, be just as effective (they don't need trillions of dollars of assets), but that would reduce profits for shareholders. Capitalism, for good or ill, benefits the capital-holders.
