Aren't both XMPP and matrix networks decentralized? XMPP has been around since 1999 according to wikipedia. It is my understanding that providers could keep metadata/logs about accounts involved.
> Am I missing something?

Yes, a few things. For one, Germany isn't the richest in Europe. But that's besides the point.

Typically price to income measures not prices per person, but per household. After all, the average house isn't lived in by one person. particularly homes that are bought (average buyer is a family, or an investor renting to multiple people), leading to an income that's the sum of typically at least two adults.

Second, these figures are virtually always pre-tax.

Third, these figures often reference to price to income of buyers, depending on the study. The average income in the Netherlands for example is about 37k leading, 5.4x would for example get you to 200k. But the average income includes unemployed, students, retirees, disabled etc. The average salary of working individuals (i.e. the home-buying population) is substantially higher, particularly if you filter out the population which is eligible for cheap subsidised social housing (about 1/3rd of all housing stock in the Netherlands). At that point you get to >50k salaries, with families of two earners often bringing in 100k and able to afford 540k homes at price to income levels of 5.4x.

Fourth, interest rates in certain EU countries is substantially lower than in the US. I just bought a house at sub 1.5% rates (Netherlands), about half of what you see in the US. Denmark had negative rates, I believe. This pushes up the max mortgage / home price to higher figures than the US, at the same monthly fees (and thus same affordability). In that sense it's not any cheaper per se, once you figure in that the US has more expensive financing costs than some EU countries, including Germany.

Fifth, the average buyer isn't a 25 year old fresh from college with a new job, but instead actually 45 years old. In fact, the average buyer isn't a first-time buyer, but has bought and sold a home before and has some equity, some savings, a retirement fund, perhaps a small inheritance from his parents, buying with a partner in the same situation. In other words, people are typically bringing in quite a bit of equity and are able to afford more than they can borrow.
Agreed. It makes no sense to me. Fitness is a solved problem. There is an absolute glut of information available on the internet re: training and nutrition. There are gyms everywhere. Even if there isn't a gym near you, there's OUTSIDE. One of the healthiest aspects of exercise both physically and mentally is that it gets you out of the house.
I've been cutting my own hay (10 acres) for 17 years now. My equipment investment was as bare-bones cheap as possible ($5k for a 1960's tractor, $2500 for a 1960's baler, $1k for a couple of wagons, $2k for a wheel rake, probably $10k in maintenance over the years). The one thing I can say with confidence is that making hay is the single most stressful thing I do all year. Finding clear weather, and then watching the weather hour to hour after it is cut, and before baling day is agonizing.
how is it much better? without knowing what applications are used that seems like a bit of an overstatement.
This is not the original source (was it a planet money episode? I really can't remember), but here's what I found:

> You also may want to compare the costs of purchasing hay with producing your own hay. In some markets, it may be cheaper to buy someone else’s hay and use your own forage for additional grazing. Finally, knowing your harvesting costs is critical for a custom operator who wants to be profitable over the long haul.

> Text is mightier than the Metaverse.

"A Picture says more than a thousand words."

> Kids can do video calls with their smartphones but prefer texting.

Because text is asynchronous, and persistent. Text is a weak medium, but with specific strengths which can beat others in certain situation if they can played well.

> We could discuss Hacker News stories with video chat but we prefer text.

I guess you haven't discovered yet youtube, twitch, instagram, tik tok...

> News and politics junkies prefer reading text tweets on Twitter to watching talking news anchors.

No, they do not? Some do, not all. If anything, the people reading tweets are the one you should trust the least. But that's for reasons of twitter, not text.

> Billions and billions spent on making movies as polished as possible, yet "I thought the book was better" is what we always hear.

Which is proof that text is the weaker medium, because text demands the readers to fill the holes, which is for some a beneficial experience. And on the other side, pictures also demands more work to let them shine. This would be an actual valid argument which will make metaverse problematic. There will be a high chance of 90% of the content just being halfassed trash.

Do you realize that Facebook Connect is a yearly event that was scheduled long before any of the latest FB outrage news stories?
I don’t fully understand, but I have the same issue.

I’ll have a full day of coding work and I’ll have the full range of emotions - joy when t worked, fury when the underlying UI framework is lower quality than my expectations for my work output and I spend days or hours making awful workarounds. Cough cough UWP. Cough cough Xamarin.Forms.

And then I try to go out for drinks after and it’s like I’m an actual robot. Text generation seems to work OK, but emotional processing just isn’t there. I can’t access the part of my brain that does all of the socially-expected facial expressions, speech tone, and cadence.

When I was much younger, I was criticized for a constant monotone delivery and I’ve since worked on fixing that with great success. But if I spend more than an hour or two coding - or if I get anywhere near a state of productivity- I end up with a less convincing reproduction of human emotion than Alexa.

It makes dating after work, or getting coffee with someone mid-day, a serious challenge. I’m not opposed to hearing solutions in the reply.
I still have my Raptor X, the one with the clear window in the top cover. Used it until 2017 or so because the enjoyment I got seeing the head whiz around was far greater than marginally faster loading on an SSD! I'm sure I'll use the drive again on a retro project eventually.
> It doesn't really matter.

Uhh, it matters a lot.

an important part of effective oversight programs is accountability .. which requires knowing if the virus was fucking man-made.

Also the WHO lost any credibility it still had when it started bending over for China.
> But, one controlled by a man who has proven himself time and again to be immoral at best and sociopathically evil at worst?

I don't understand this sentiment. Why do we need to care how moral the man at the helm is? A leader is temporary: today's leader can be immoral, while tomorrow's leader can be moral. Or vice versa. Or a leader can be moral in such a way that you would wish he wasn't. If end users can exercise their moral choices themselves, if they can refrain from lying, or bullying, or bragging, or trolling, then so much the better. If they can't, well, then we are screwed either way.

My grandparents ran away from agricultural villages to a heavily industrial city, because living there was comparatively easier, even though grandpa had a lot of work running a steam engine. (Steam engines require a lot of heavy manual work to run.)

Agriculture without mechanisation is absolutely brutal on human body, plus you are dependent on random fluctuations in weather. A bad year or, God forbid, two bad years in a row meant a credible threat of starvation in the 1910s or 1920s for "ordinary" peasants.

And if the men were called to military service, as in the Great War (some were exempt, but not nearly enough), then women and the elderly had to do all the heavy work such as tiling, which they often could not.

People have all kinds of romantic concepts of rural life. It was rather harsh.
They don't have to but it's more efficient to do so.

The editors of the OED are “hardcore descriptivists”, too. They’re just more complete and accurate than M-W, in this case.
My experience reflects OP's as well. It's not "ads", but things like searching using the SEARCH button inside a non-Apple app returns results from the Apple store.

If one uses it in a search box inside the app, it works in the local context. Imagine having to teach one's elderly parents what the difference is when the remote only has something like 5 buttons and one of them doesn't work how it's supposed to in a consistent manner. Local context vs. global context in searches is an absurd concept in the purview of the average consumer. Hell - I can't understand it half the time because it's so counterintuitive.

That's shady behavior and prioritizes Apple's own services over EVERY competitor.

Besides its terrible remote (the gen I have, at least), the usability constraints are insulting.

Roku has other severe limitations, but they don't outright manipulate their UI and their user experience in such an underhanded manner.

I think the US courts can have the same effect as a bullet in the head, if you look at mental health outcomes. It just involves more steps that whitewash the process into something more tolerable by the rest society. Some people would prefer the bullet.

The metaverse might be bullshit but billionaires are essentially betting that life for the average person is going to be so dismal that an increasing number will completely disconnect from society and live their lives virtually. It's dystopian but it's the future many are predicting.
same experience, France had decent phone lines for audio, but the bandwidth 56k provided over those lines were rarely stable, falling even below 1kB wasn't uncommon.
Most then existing HLLs were very usable in 640Kb. If you go down to 8-bits, while translators for many of these did exist the utility was rapidly diminishing. You'd essentially have system's native version of BASIC + assembler for anything practical. The rest were more of parlor tricks.

Thanks(to both of you, but only replying once).

I completely forgot we had to cordon off areas for a time to let grow, and rotate.

It totally makes sense to me now - this is essentially about being able to raise more head per acre, since you'd have more grazing area at any time.
It that case it'd be really cool if you implemented John McCarthy's metacircular evaluator in Mu LISP syntax to demonstrate it's a LISP. Sort of like how when John McCarthy shared the idea for LISP one of the first things he had to do was show that it's able to do the same things as a Turing machine.

In the UK, international fees are deducted from the standard fellowship. While already low, it then becomes a poverty wage. This practice should really be banned, if funding someone the university should do it a livable level.

I go running and occasionally do push-ups inside and have an exercise bike. VR exercise really bridges the gap for me between not wanting to exercise or not having time, to feeling energized and/or it being a workout all it's own.

Mostly just a game of Pistol Whip but also the noted Supernatural app helps a lot. I also put on 360 1st person biking videos on YouTube while I ride my exercise bike and the whole range of options expands my desire to work out exponentially...
First to separate the disagreements. You open by disagreeing that the process requiring jurors to pass a certain comprehension level doesn't exist today and close by disagreeing that the current "jury of your peers" process shouldn't be such a thing. Apart from being self conflicting claims (it can't both be the process used today and be against the process used today) they are 2 separate discussions.

In regards to the first disagreement GPs proposal wasn't "a process that optionally allows an attorney to strike some jurors they find have low comprehension" it was "there really ought to be some basic comprehension and reasoning test for jurors." as in a hard requirement to have some level of comprehension regardless if the attorneys wish to strike a juror based on this fact.

In regards to the second disagreement you aren't guaranteed to a jury of your peers in the US you are guaranteed to an impartial jury. Jury of your peers was part of common law and guaranteed e.g. high class people would only have juries of other high class people and is not part of US law. A "special" or "blue ribbon" jury like the GP proposed are allowed to been used as deemed necessary by the court in many states and actually by the Supreme Court itself in it's only jury trial (they drew from a pool of merchants) they are just not mandated for every trial.

Again I do side with your opinion that special juries shouldn't be the default but that's not what is under question.
If you go to about:support and scroll to the end of the graphics section you should see two entries:

DMABUF

and should say something like "available by default"/enabled or similar wording. Otherwise it'll either say unsupported/disabled or will be missing.

Watch a kid play rec room in VR and then explain how that pandemic home schooling would have made so much more sense if it worked the same way as the game building classes in Rec room work.

Observe the huge jump in fidelity of VRchat or rec room vs second life or Roblox.

Listen to how a kid describes the rec room versions of "squid games" without ever seeing the show on Netflix.

Metaverse is coming. Agree it driven by many distinct holistic experiences; but roblox v2 in a world like Rec Room puts the ball pretty far down the court in the groundwork for a platform of many experiences in one.

There will be aggregators that improve transactions, social networks, communication, ease of app building, distribution and discovery vs operating in discreet silos.

I see this meta name change as Facebook conditioning investors to rationalization of the huge amount of money it will spend buy companies that show early momentum in this direction.

> Inflation is a "tax" on owning money, an equalizing force if you will. Deflation is a "tax" imposed that benefits large holders of the currency on people who hold less or none of that currency.

The problem is that these “large holders of currency” are the poorest people. Rich people have their wealth invested in various assets, e.g. stocks, bonds, land. The poorest people live paycheck to paycheck and can’t possibly invest in anything.

A study found that vinegar significantly slowed growth (vs. citric or phosphoric acid) in all three plant species tested:

https://sciendo.com/pdf/10.2478/johr-2019-0004

It may still be better than nothing, since they didn't test nothing. Citric acid was better than vinegar for them, but still showed worse yield than phosphoric. I tried citric acid myself and found that its pH down effect disappeared within hours, as some combination of the plant itself and the root zone microbiota broke down the citrate:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Hydroponics/comments/q4u5wz/gh_ph_d...

The professionals generally use mineral acids, and I believe that's with good reason. Of those phosphoric is the safest to handle, though a significant corrosive hazard in concentrated form; carefully dilute to ~2% for day to day use. You could also try monopotassium phosphate, but if your water is hard then you'd need such massive amounts that the extra K and P may become problematic.
It's funny because Casey made this video partly to push back on people like you who come up with limitless excuses for why slow code is "actually the right way to do it".

I guess it didn't work.

Are you really arguing that the code is 10-100x slower because it was written by 2 people and not one?

And if the reason we write slow code is to save programmer time, as your other argument goes, why is it ok to put 2 people to write code that can be written by 1 guy?

That excuse doesn't make it better, it just makes it look doubly bad for Microsoft. Not only they can't write fast code, they spend twice as much time doing so!

I think it is also illumiating, if somewhat obvious, that people tend to have well thought out reasons for doing something.
So if you see someone doing something obviously stupid, you are probably not seeing the whole picture. It is extremely worth it to try figuring out why they do that. And in figuring that out it is important not to dismiss the other person's ideas out of hand.
Steam allows achievements in one game to affect another game?
Well, for one, there was a letter signed by 1xx retired leaders but I'm having trouble finding it on google under the pile of pro D&I propaganda that exclusively makes up search results.

For two, consistent anecdata from personal acquaintances and forum posts. The demographics are also completely changing. The military was until recently carried primarily by white men from small town America. Now white maleness is effectively a career handicap when genitals, skin color, and sexual orientation are considered for promotion.

I think the recent army advertisements are a valid proxy for the negative value that current leadership places on white-maleness. A military which is still majority white and male is releasing recruitment videos which exclusively feature minorities, females, and a healthy sprinkling of homosexuality. Here's a nice illustration, comparing recent US ads to those from Russia and China[0]. Only two of those forces are actually interested in recruiting competent soldiers, if these ads are any indication. China is laughing.

Edit: the sister post by jimmygrapes found one of the reports/letters I was looking for. I urge you all to read it to see, among other things, what happens to morale when demographic considerations are added to promotion evaluations. What is reported is consistent with what I've been hearing from former servicemember acquaintances.
