>idiots like you do nothing.

That seems unnecessary ad hominem. Just completely uncalled for.

Also, you're assigning a values judgment to my statements that I genuinely thought I was clear about when I said "Not saying it's right or wrong, but it exists and is something to think about."

You have no idea what my stance is on literally anything. Trying to be superior to someone who has given you nothing to feel superior about seems sort of hateful?

Facts are facts, and consequences are consequences, regardless of right or wrong. That was my meaning. Agree with the outcomes or not, believe me or don't. That doesn't matter.

>If the recording is not tampered with it's unlikely a civil case will get anywhere.

How do you figure? If it is a surreptitious recording without consent, the person who was recorded has a pretty clear line to a civil case.

As I understand it the issue with ordinary incandescents is that the alternating heat and cold from being used eventually causes the glue attaching the glass to the metal part to crack, which lets air into the bulb (ordinarily a vacuum/inert gas). The next time you turn it on, the air causes the filament to burn, causing the characteristic flare-up and scorch.

No, i'd like property tax thats (near) zero for your first property/house/apartment, and then rising for each next one. This would make hoarding properties impossible, and using properties as investment (atleast if we're talking more than one) very expensive.

I was just saying that my idea is not problematic with multi apartment buildings, because once the apartments are sold, the owner doesn't have to pay property tax anymore.

You are correct that I am both a libertarian and economist type, and that is born out of my love for rationality.

To do what you propose, you need to implement regulation. It is unclear to me how changing worker bargaining would impact the practices of Google towards consumers.

To implement regulation, you'll need to define some harm that is being incurred by a third party that is not voluntarily participating in a private transaction. What is the basis for the proposed regulation?

I don't think libertarianism exists to remove challenges to corporate power. Rather, it seems to me that it is rooted in, "live and let live." Unless there is a negative externality that is incurred by an unwilling participant, there should be no regulation. Morality is not the job of the state.
Do not worry, this is their actual goal obviously. Can't have anyone voice opinions different from Klaus Schwab.
Stop switching & stay in winter time!

Correct me if I'm wrong but actual "high noon" and 12pm don't currently line up except for a couple days a year, do they?
There's just not much to be done in places that get eight or nine hours of daylight in the winter and fifteen or sixteen in the summer. Or worse, if you're even farther north than that.

In December and January, you go to work in the dark, you come home from work in the dark, and you barely see the sun for a couple months.
I said direct and immediate physical harm.

“Psychological harm” is something else entirely.

Your position presupposes the guilt and innocence of both parties.

The individual claiming “psychological harm” can just as easily be the perpetrator, and psychological harm will be inflicted on the victim by the state when they’re arrested for upsetting someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

You hit it on the head: The point is purely for fun and learning. I want to learn as much as I can by rebuilding apps from scratch, etc. I had my first computer in 1977/78, a Commodore PET 2001, followed by a Vic-20, so if I can duplicate the bare system I had them and a PL to create apps, I am back where I started - having fun with computers!
My grandfather was rather fond of telling a story about a neighbor when he was younger who came home from vacation to find that their house had been stolen... like someone had brought a wagon and team of horses in, jacked up the house, and pulled it away.

> unexplained resume gap

Resume gaps shouldn't have to be explained. If someone thinks you're a bad hire because you don't dedicate every moment of your life to working, they are probably not someone you want to work for anyways.

> a short 6-month employment followed by another gap is the type of pattern that starts to scare hiring managers.

Q: "Why were you only there for 6 months?"
A: "It wasn't a good fit because x y z"

If someone is scared of that, then they are a crap hiring manager.

Demonizing people for taking time off of work or for not sticking around in a work environment that not good for them is bs that needs to stop.

Yes, by far the most interesting part, but WTF?

> The typical clock had six numbered hours from nine to four, which counted backwards from noon until midnight; the hour numbers one, two and three were not used in Japan for religious reasons, because these numbers of strokes were used by Buddhists to call to prayer. The count ran backwards because the earliest Japanese artificial timekeepers used the burning of incense to count down the time. Dawn and dusk were therefore both marked as the sixth hour in the Japanese timekeeping system. In addition to the numbered temporal hours, each hour was assigned a sign from the Japanese zodiac. Starting at dawn, the six daytime hours were:

Zodiac symbol Numeral
Rabbit 卯 六 6 sunrise
Dragon 辰 五 5 morning
Snake 巳 四 4 morning
Horse 午 九 9 noon
Goat 未 八 8 afternoon
Monkey 申 七 7 afternoon

> From dusk, the six nighttime hours were:

Zodiac symbol Numeral
Rooster 酉 六 6 sunset
Dog 戌 五 5 evening
Pig 亥 四 4 evening
Rat 子 九 9 midnight
Ox 丑 八 8 before dawn
Tiger 寅 七 7 before dawn

It's weird that there's the daytime and nighttime hours are counted with the same repeating numbers as in 12h time.

The page still doesn't explain why the hours are different lengths. Did the incense burn equal lengths at different rates?
No, the answer is way simpler than you are making it out to be.

Is the data in a TLS connection transformed in such a way that it would make it difficult for an intermediary to figure out the plain information being sent?

If so, the data is in fact encrypted. Where are you getting this idea that encryption is more than that? That is by definition what encryption is, and everything else is just approaches and security layers on top of it. You don't have to like the encryption method, you don't have to care who it's from, you don't have to care about anything else. Encryption is encryption even if it's as pointless as a caesar cipher.

And yeah, there's things like certificates and CAs with HTTPS, but that's totally secondary to the encryption part. No one would bother with HTTPS if it couldn't establish encrypted connections.

If a lawyer or a judge doesn't understand that they themselves are frequently using encryption when they use the internet, that's a problem. They don't need to care about the nitty gritty details that you and others bring up. If they view encryption as something that only bad guys use, why should they be a part of the judicial system in the year 2021?

After reading the book, I would still go to a personal trainer. A few hundred dollars to have someone help you learn an important life-long skill is good value. Book is great, but having someone watch over you and correct you in the beginning is still very important.

> I don't really care about the GPU acceleration; adding layers to SVGs is an amazing change on its own.

So… bike shedding?
I don't like to throw shade on my own profession, but I know some number of code bases that will need to be furiously updated if DST goes away. I wonder what's going on deep in some 'core infrastructure' code.

Tracking time zones all over the world is hard, and a lot of code that does it was written decades ago. I wouldn't eagerly sign up to review it all.

I'd much rather stick with DST than send some poor devs down that path.
They probably mean they opened the box and it was empty (i.e. they got sent a parcel, and the item's box was inside the parcel, but the item itself wasn't in the box).

I've worked in quite a few eCommerce companies on the fulfilment side (although not Amazon, but including Amazon sellers) and this is pretty common - the overwhelming cause is that a scammer buys a product from an online store, takes it out of the box, replaces it with rocks or something of a similar size/shape to make it weigh the right amount, then shrink wraps it to make it look like it hasn't been sold and then returns it for the full value.

However sometimes customers also lie and say that they received an empty box, when they actually had the item inside.

It is very rare that the manufacturer will ship an empty box (however it does sometimes happen).

Because of this, most eCommerce companies adopt a policy of "If the 'new' item was previously an unopened return, allow the refund, however if not, do not allow a refund". eCommerce companies track this by using different bins for returned products (or at least by not returning that product to a bin with the same SKU that is non-returned). This sucks for the customer if you are one of the unlucky people that gets a box sent empty by the manufacturer, but fortunately that's very rare (it's a tough one to resolve without lots of theft, as it's very easy for people to say that the box was empty and very hard to prove otherwise).

This is even more difficult with third party sellers, as Amazon may not have full visibility with how they are tracking returns, and those third party sellers may have different policies around 'received empty' returns (I've not seen the above in any official policy, but can confirm it is common practice - again not with Amazon but I've worked with a number of eCommerce companies with similar issues and policies).
I am disappointed by the lack of technical transparency in this update. If Roblox knew enough about the problem to address it, they could have included enough technical words to describe it.

> main factor which affects Earth's climate

This is such a dubious statement you keep repeating. Is it the main one? No, probably not. If you took out all the Nitrogen, shit would break a lot faster than if you took out all the CO2. You could probably name a few others.

However it is proven that carbon emissions is the main thing affecting the the change we are observing in earth's climate. And I shouldn't have to, because you are who you are, I'm going to staple on "within reasonable amount of certainty"
Yeah, here in the UK one of my friends bought his home off another of my friends. A third friend practices commercial property law, so she's insured to buy and sell property and did all their paperwork at mates rates. (Her employer buys her insurance, but it's personal insurance, so it covers her off-the-clock work too)

Big saving all round.
Hypertext Gardens (1998)
You have a few good direct answers to your question, but there's something I feel is important to add:

Honestly, a gym membership is worth it, if you live close to one. While you can get decent results from home gyms, I've found the jump from "decent" to "good" results takes a bit of money/equipment. There are muscles groups that basically require heavy weights to really get good results.

Leg workouts in particular are really easy to cap out on without equipment. I can personally do body-weight squats indefinitely (probably). If I tried to do weighted squats with dumbbells, I'm sure my arms would tire well before my legs do.

A good leg press machine will run you the same price as a decade of cheap gym memberships, and that's not even getting into weights or other useful equipment.

I personally find it valuable to travel to the gym. It's only 5 minutes for me, but once I leave, I'm committed to a degree that is harder to maintain when I workout at home.

Also, to answer your question: yoga is great. It's a very underrated exercise (particularly for men). It builds core strength and flexibility. The wrestler DDP has a series on it that people rave about.
I prefer the idea of gradually eliminating time zones, by people starting to use UTC everywhere. It's as simple as individuals "reprogramming" the way they think about time. And, you can do it yourself and among friends without the government and the rest of society going along.
During the pandemic, I bought a couple kettlebells and found that you can get a great full-body strength workout with extremely minimal equipment. r/kettlebell has great resources, advice, form checks, and motivation.
