It's a total tangent, but this reminds me of one of my favorite novels, The Shockwave Rider[1]. It's all about this phenomenon, but dialed up to 11. Honestly, those of us who grew up in the USA long enough ago are basically immigrants now too. This is a very different country than it was 30 years ago. Not only that, but much like India, there is great difference between some of the individual States.

> they will only investigate if they "see a trend".

That's your answer right there. It's awful what's happened to you and your car but if this issue affects one in XXX (some large number) customers, it doesn't warrant the NHSTA's time which I'm sure has a large existing backlog of issues to investigate.
I'd take wooden/laminate floor over carpeting any day:

- it can be soundproofed,
- it can be floor-heated (but generally isn't that cold to begin with),
- maintenance and cleaning is really easy,
- potentially damaged areas can be fixed/replaced relatively easily (but greatly varies with the system and the mounting used),
- extremely pet-(hair-)friendly,
- very robot vacuum friendly,
- generally doesn't get affected that much with "clashes with my new x" issues (but that's individual, I guess),
- can be tastefully decorated and accented with smaller rugs,
- probably some other things I missed.

Basically, in my view, sans the "fluffy" feeling on one's feet, wall-to-wall carpeting is a nightmare, especially given the US prevalence of combining an inside carpet with outside shoes, which is in stark contract with majority of the rest of the world.
Well not just that. If the government mandates all Huawei equipment to be thrown out, the providers will go to court and the government will most likely end up paying for it.

In the middle of a global pandemic and resulting supply chain crisis, a rapidly intensifying fight against climate change and other expensive issues it's probably not a great idea to throw more billions away.

Of course it could be a risk but it can be mitigated in other ways like multiple layers of encryption. That's never a bad idea anyway.

I reached platinum playing Valorant quite casually (5-10 games a week) ( platinum is a rank only top 10% of all players ever reach, according to official stats).

More importantly (to me), I've turned a corner with getting tilted by braindead teammates. Voice comms over time revealed to me that they are mostly children half my age, the worst offenders usually being female. I don't expect children to not be braindead, given that I was braindead and completely in my own feelings until I was 30 or so, so I've been liberated from having expectations, which's great but also made me largely lose interest in playing - maybe getting tilted by idiots and wanting to overcome it was the puzzle I was largely interested in solving all along? Don't know :)
My head is swirling with all the coins coming out these days. Have these coins all been around for some time or am I just hearing about them now?

I don’t know how this crypto shit will ever end. It’s basically speculation that there will always be a greater fool to buy your coin. Zero fundamentals. Can this really go on forever? Or will there be an ultimate bag holder at some point?

> I really don't get what is the glitch here?

The glitch? The glitch is getting you to complete your ideas and form a coherent response.

> You seem fixated on finding logical parallels to an ongoing response to a global pandemic, which is honestly getting quite repetitive to discuss.

I'm fixated because I posted some questions in a covid thread that doesn't mindlessly toe the line, and that's exhausting you? I rather think you would be less upset in the end if you just conceded you don't have good answers. Sometimes it's okay to admit you don't know everything.

This flustered incoherent rambling is what's embarrassing and exposes you as incapable of addressing what I wrote just as surely as a simple admission would have. With the additional benefit of the latter being retaining some dignity. The entire thread is here plain as day for anybody to read, and the point is still floating around happily well above your head:

> Are we even on the same page here that less deaths is better from the perspective of public policy?

So what to do about the overweight person question. I know you're getting flustered and angry because you can't answer it, so you're just pretending it's not relevant or it's somehow "absurd", without actually being able to articulate why.

Why not just stop participating in the conversation if it's upsetting you so much? You're clearly not getting any benefit from considering different perspectives.

A better question is "What is your Income"?

Salary is fleeting. You could be fired tomorrow. You could get run over by a bus. Your company may be taken over and shut down. Your blood-pressure might get so high that you can't work. You might become a paraplegic.

But your comment is precisely the type of Internet comments that create the pessimistic view of the United States: Everything positive is dismissed or downplayed or discounted, while everything negative is brought to the forefront and presented as the norm.

When the topic of the United States comes up, why are you so quick to bring up rural MS or West Virginia? Those locations are notable precisely because they're outliers, not because they're the norm.

Trying to pick out a phone and carrier that I like that will also work with VoLTE on LineageOS. This is not fun at all. There's very little info about a lot of it and the ones I do find that work are pricey or have some undesirable characteristic (do they all have to be huge?). Low SAR would also be nice but seems out of the question.

Looks like I will end up getting a cheap low SAR phone with stock Android. Maybe in another 3-5 years the marketplace will be more stable (no more VoLTE compatibility hoopla) and I can switch to a more secure/private OS.

My main point is don't completely dismiss a nescient technological field based on it's lack of utility now. Sustained development effort with real venture capital only dates back to around 2017, 2018.

Fat loss is really as simple as: calories in < calories out. There are finer details that determine how your body reacts to different meals, like dense, calorie rich food leaving you hungry for more and so you eat more, as opposed to voluminous, low calorie foods filling you up, but it really is as simple as that. No complex diet required. No exercise required.

It’s contrary to popular belief, but the truth is in the numbers. The calories burned in the most intense cardio session are negligible compared to your next meal, and with calorie trackers it’s something everyone can see now for themselves. Running is good for cardiovascular health and some people enjoy it for various reasons, but it’s not the tool for managing weight.

Interestingly, lifting weights over time does positively affects fat loss. Maintaining every additional pound of muscle takes more energy than maintaining a pound of body fat, and so having more muscle means you burn more calories by just breathing and existing. You don’t need to become a body building hulk for this effect to have a noticeable impact, either. Muscle is denser than fat. But, as with cardio, don’t bother measuring your calories burned for a weightlifting session. The benefit happens outside the gym.

If you get hungry between meals, drink more water (most people don’t drink enough, anyway) and have a lot of popcorn on hand to snack on. Popcorn is so voluminous yet has basically no calories, helping manage appetite.

The other big trick with weight is to develop consistent diet habits that you’ll follow consistently forever. Slow and steady wins the race. If you go hard and fast you might temporarily reach you goal but you won’t be able to maintain it. You need to develop habits that you’ll follow for life, because without it the fat will just come back later as your calories in go above your calories out.
I also have to use Terraform and I try to avoid looking at it as much as possible. Hashicorp HCL is incredibly bad (not to use stronger words). I am trying to use an alternative like Pulumi whenever possible, but thankfully there is some hope with cdktf, since Terraform is today effectively technical debt.
I can't see how anyone thought that HCL, a terrible language to use in any aspect, was a better choice than a general purpose language like python or js. Every one in our infra org utterly despises HCL.
The workflow or Terraform is also very poor, it promotes bad practices and does not offer decent guarantees.
I know I sound harsh, but I hope it is received as constructive criticism
No alarm intended, but does anyone need to live anyway? Once you understand that simply perceiving reality is the most wondrous thing we can do, simply being present in the universe is enough.
> If you bothered to read what I wrote, fat people aren't trying to kill me, but the unvaccinated are.

Wrong. I see why you're trying to make this unfounded assertion, because you have nothing else. But that doesn't make it true just because you're saying it.

> I will support vaccine mandates for this reason. I hope one day you will understand differential equations.

Yes I had noticed that from your first post.
I can see the attraction for enterprise-level storage, where a single chassis might contain anywhere from 20-90 drives, but my thought on seeing news like this is that surely we're getting to the point where resilvering times will make small arrays infeasible from a reliability standpoint.

My home NAS only has four drives in it: if one 20TB drive dies, how long will I have to run on three, even if I have a spare onhand? Will they all survive long enough to rebuild? Or am I going to have to run some RAID-6/RAID-Z2-like array just to ensure durability?

> You don't have to support MongoDB, but you can support apps that were only written with Mongo as backend? That's awesome. I can't imagine it's production-ready yet but it's a great idea.

You have just described AWS DocumentDB, which is a Mongo compatible frontend using Postgres as the backend (AWS coyly refer to it as Aurora, though); the wire protocol compatibility is at the version 4.0 level, with some extras thrown in. Change event streams also works like a charm. We have been using it for a couple of years and have found DocumentDB stable, performant with the AWS support being very good. Support for complex compound indices is still missing as well as support for complex query projections is somewhat missing, but we have decided to change ways of how we use use documents instead, so it has not become a major impediment for us.

The main disadvantage, though, is cost, especially for smaller datasets where spinning up a separate DocumentDB cluster quickly turns into a money wasting excercise. Although, for our primary use cases, DocumentDB is still more than 3x cheaper than a comparable Atlas MongoDB PaaS.
>my guess is it originated with people that weren't thinking at all about politics

How is everything you just described not "politics"? In fact it is the epitome of political action, and this doesn't make it of lower quality thinking. China has been identified as geopolitical adversary, and all decisions flow from that distinction.

"The specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy." - Carl Schmitt

They took what had been viewed as simply a free market, or technology, or economic competition and applied "politics" to it.
How does the level of social services in San Francisco compare to other cities that don't have these problems? I would have guessed it's dramatically higher.
I think you correctly diagnosed the problem but not the cause. There are LOTS of social services (far more than most other cities... we even give them monthly cash on debit cards) offering free clothes, hot meals, showers, and even rooms at a shelter (but they don't want to obey those rules...) and this attracts more homeless here since it's an easier city to be homeless than say somewhere in the South. And this was going on well before COVID--although that gave the city an excuse to do even less than it already did.

This is happening because theft under $950 is a misdemeanor, which means if it's reported to 911 it's a low priority response. As a result, you see rings of people going in grabbing as much as they can which is usually still under $950 and then moving on to the next place. Because there's very little investigation, literal crime rings are doing this and then re-selling on Amazon and Walmart.com and other e-commerce sites. This goes on because it's a low priority to cops, and even if the cops catch them, prosecutors go easy (thanks to Chesa Boudin), and even if they're convicted the judge and jury usually go easy. So if you're a career criminal, SF makes it especially appealing to target. We've allowed "social justice" to be defined as legalizing theft rings and open drug use.

Apart from philosophy mentioned by the other poster, you can also read into psychology. Some branches in psychology deal with the question of how to live a fulfilled life, eg. positive psychology [1] and humanistic psychology [2].

To start, you can pick a Psychology 101 textbook (I like Psychology and Life [4]) and then read the people and bibliography mentioned in these Wikipedia articles.

I'm sure the government would love to throw Edward Snowden in jail, but he is out of their reach. They would love to shut down Wikileaks and Sci-Hub too. On the other hand, governments can very easily weaponize financial services to deny people the ability to send individuals and organizations money - which is how Wikileaks found itself digitally embargoed by Visa, PayPal and Mastercard. Not so with cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies can also provide anonymity to financial donors who would otherwise be targeted themselves for sending money to a party like Wikileaks.
