> The Silverado and the F-150 are the only 2 cars in the top 15 best-selling cars in the US which are particularly fuel inefficient.

Sure, however the F-150 was by far the biggest selling vehicle at least up until 2019. Over 3 times as many sold as the second most popular vehicle.
you might be a fan of paulo soleri’s architecture, as illustrated in the book “city in the image of man” - he designs utopian megastructures (arcologies) that exist in spite of desolate conditions while still respecting our connection to nature: residences are at the edge of the city, so that the wilderness is always in view.

You can stay in the guest rooms at Arcosanti, the city he started building in the 70s, it’s wonderful having a glass wall looking out to the barren desert, knowing i can walk 5 minutes up the path to a whole “city” of a cafe, theater, and workshops.
So excited to have backed this myself. It's been...a long time coming. Not just from this kickstarter, but a past kickstarter.

The craziest part is that this is what it can do _before many people even have it in their hands_. The potential for this tech (outside of gaming even) is pretty far-reaching.

So glad that Jeri was able to get this thing to fruition this go-around amid the pandemic and all of the logistic problems that has created for creating new tech.
You can make the same argument about alcohol.

Plenty of homeless drunkards in the streets, alcoholism is rampant.

> G is not safe

Sure. Side effects of alcohol overdose include death by alcohol poisoning.

Side effects of GHB overdose include death by central nervous system depression + consequent respiratory arrest.

Side effects of Tylenol overdose include an excruciatingly painful, multi-day death from multiple organ failure.

See the pattern?

Both drinking and GHB are capable of causing memory loss.

> The effects are quite different than alcohol

This is subjective. To me, it feels exactly like "More euphoric alcohol, without the stupidity/reduced cognitive facilities drinking brings, and not toxic-feeling on my body."

YMMV.
Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience, An Introductory Course in Computational Neuroscience, and Principles of Neural Design - all bought used for an okay price. Not exactly very theoretical books, but the topic fascinated me recently and I have to get started somewhere. Recommendations always welcome.

My favourite is the last line of this passage:

> It is of course deeply ironic that many celebrities who publicly advocated a clean living, chemical-free lifestyle, were also early adopters of a treatment that involves injecting the deadliest substance on earth into your face (looking at you, Paltrow). If any of them were surprised at this seeming paradox, they certainly didn’t show it.
Just use AppImage. They can download it as-is from your website and simply run locally. No need to deal with distributions and their package managers.

1) What I heard is that we will never "run out" of oil because there will always be oil that is more expensive to extract than the current market price. Thus, the price can always increase if there is sufficient demand and then that oil is profitable to extract.

One thing not mentioned is cooking destroys the bacteria and it's toxin. I forget the exact times for temperatures, but it's something like 212F for 5 minutes or 180F for 10 minutes.

Also, why is infant botulism an issue with honey but not other other things? The spores are everywhere and cooking does not kill the spores.
I find the whole 'anti-natalist because of climate change' phenomenon to be profoundly disturbing. The kinds of people who care this deeply about the well-being of the world are the ones I want having and raising children. They should be having a child or two and raising them to be good stewards of the environment and positive contributors to our society. Instead, they abdicate from that burden.

We all know that the government will not tolerate population decline because of economic reasons, so it's not hyperbole or conspiratorial to say that immigrants will be the ones expected to have children in their stead. Chances are, though, the immigrants and their children will not be so concerned with the climate as they try to achieve wealth.

In my mind, these people haven't actually solved the population growth challenge. They've just written themselves and their progeny out of it. I guess what disturbs me the most is the fact that they've willingly decided to become 'dead ends'.

Texas is pretty average when it comes to electricity reliability in the US even though it experiences some of the most diverse weather in the US. Not too many states experience both tornadoes and hurricanes on a regular basis. Its biggest challenge it currently faces is winterization measures due to climate change. Things just weren't designed to get as cold as it did in February, which was a exceptionally rare event historically. I've lived in Texas nearly my whole life, it has never been that cold for that long since I've been here.

And the motion sickness, ugh. I'm not prone to motion sickness, but for some reason the subtle delays really affect me. I don't quite feel sick necessarily, but if I do VR for about 10 minutes, I feel just kinda off for about 3-5 hours afterwards. It's not a good feeling.

I honestly don't really think it will become a household thing until they develop black-mirror-type contact lenses.

A friend of mine went to live on a beach on the other side of the world for 2 years. He would just follow the tourist party every day. I don't have what it takes to do that. It's really all about the mind set. He did have an exit strategy: Ask his mum for a ticket. Which he eventually did. Hearing about it afterwards I was somewhat angry with him that he never called to ask for money. A few hundred euro goes a long way compared to nothing?

When it was my time to leave I didn't even have a car to live in. I maintain a complex agenda where I would invite myself a week in advance to sleep on vaguely familiar peoples sofa for 1 night never more than 1x every 14 days per household. The bargain was this: I clean your kitchen, I cook an elaborate meal, I clean the kitchen again, I sleep on your sofa and leave after coffee in the morning. If I had money I would spend it on the meal but usually I had the host pay for it. Some people I barely knew would compensate for it by turning their kitchen into something like a war zone. I joked how welcoming it looked. Others never bothered to cook anything elaborate and welcomed the formula. It was a surprisingly interesting period that lasted something like 8 months. I think I've actually helped a good number of burned out people who just gave up cleaning the house and/or cooking and badly needed a break from it.
So uh... How do I get in the club? Because I could use a few millions.

Unpopular opinion: there are bad examples, just like with any design trend, but the basic layout scheme for most websites for desktop use peaked with the "thin top bar & nav, 2-3 columns, left of which may also be navigation" standard style of the mid to late '00s.

Other designs are more convenient if you want a very easy-to-write responsive layout, and some sites do actually need something different, but that was as good as we've seen, in general, for desktop. You can't do it now because it "looks old" and people will assume your site is defunct, but it's the best.
I actually once switched to netlify cause their free tier allows commercial sites, the websites i made in this situation are pretty local and small and I doubt vercel would even notice but it was easier to just switch to netlify than research all the reasons why those websites can be considered commercial.

(using the US as an example)

People "tightened their belt" during WWII because they had their sons conscripted by the government to go fight in the war. Some people never saw their fathers or sons ever again once they left the train/ship for Europe. Women were leaving the homemaking roles and working in wartime factories, offices, etc. because you had (theoretically) half of your population off in another country fighting for their lives.

You had _everybody_ on board since everyone knew somebody who was currently fighting, died/wounded in battle. It was a very real, persistent, visible issue. Climate change is not visible to everybody and doesn't affect everyone like the war effort did.

People see higher cost of living and they're living their daily lives just as they have been for the past decade. There's been no directly observable reason for the majority of people to start encouraging climate change action. It sucks, but that's the way it is right now because humans are humans.

Climate change is not that visible of a threat, (un)fortunately, depending on how you look at it. The majority of humans don't look farther than a couple years ahead, _if that_. They're too busy trying to survive with increased taxes, inflation on all goods and services, along with horrific monetary policy during a pandemic.

Can you please elaborate more regarding "I would prefer the US as a partner compared to Russia"? Shipping liquified gas with tankers from a place several thousand kilometers away seems like less eco-friendly alternative, to say at least.
To put this in perspective, US daily oil consumption is 18 million barrels. So a 50 million barrel release from the strategic reserve is less than a 3 day supply.
This is really depressing for some reason. Just very bleak
H.L. Mencken visited for the Bach choir:

"I once came so near going dry in Pennsylvania, and in the very midst of a huge fleet of illicit breweries, that the memory of it still makes me shiver. This was at Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley, in 1924. I had gone to the place with my publisher, Alfred Knopf, to hear the celebrated Bach Choir, and we were astounded after the first day's sessions to discover that not a drop of malt liquor was to be had in the local pubs. This seemed strange and unfriendly, for it is well known to every musicologist that the divine music of old Johann Sebastian cannot be digested without the aid of its natural solvent."

Folks who have the money for Apple stuff have money for large SSDs and fast unmetered Internet.

Aaaand folks who live in the Apple universe have been accustomed to accept that they are holding it wrong, and that there's someone whose job is to figure out what's the official best way to do things. If it involves downloading 130 megs it's 130 megs. No problem. The UX and end result is worth it for them.

Why does everyone insist on taxing capital and labor? It would be more efficient to tax land. Where are all the hardcore free market capitalists shouting for less taxes for everyone except land owners? Is it perhaps because ... those hardcore free market capitalists are earning most of their money from land speculation?
the problem with all of these robots is that they can't go where humans go. Humans and animals can basically travel on any terrain. they have to be on flat surfaces and so the floors need to be made for them. That means they can't go on stairs, uneven surfaces, dirt, grass, docks, rocky surfaces, etc. If this is solved, it opens up so many more opportunities.
Like others wrote here, first thing to do is probably to narrow down the python skills he needs to practice (web ? data science ? ... ).

But as we are about to get in December, if he wants to practice general python skills in a fun way, I'd recommend having a look at the advent of code (https://adventofcode.com/2021).

Solving the problems on your own provides only a fraction of the learning opportunity, though. To capture it all, you need to read others' solutions on the related sub reddit. There are a few people out there documenting their solutions super effectively. Last year, for instance, I learned a lot from https://github.com/mebeim/aoc/tree/master/2020

Pidgin likely won't have a big comeback. The messaging service providers can still tie them to their own proprietary clients. They would only be forced to forward messages between their servers as I understand it.

I'm not sure which messenger platforms even need to follow this requirement (e.g. is Signal big enough to have to open up?). Also, there's a few fun open questions like how to uphold end to end encryption or how to exclude spammy messaging services from the network.

I don't think that's a valid inference. Quoting Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development) :

> In the early 1990s, Ken Schwaber used what would become scrum at his company, Advanced Development Methods; while Jeff Sutherland, John Scumniotales and Jeff McKenna developed a similar approach at Easel Corporation, referring to it using the single word Scrum.[16]

> Sutherland and Schwaber worked together to integrate their ideas into a single framework, scrum. They tested scrum and continually improved it, leading to their 1995 paper,[17] contributions to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001,[18] and the worldwide spread and use of scrum since 2002.

(I verified that with a Google Book snippet for that 1995 publication, which says: "More recently, a refined approach to the SCRUM process has been applied by Sutherland to Smalltalk development and Schwaber to Delphi development. The SCRUM approach is used at leading edge software companies with significant success.)

You can see both Sutherland and Schwaber are signatories to the Manifesto.

I think it's unlikely they would be signatories if the Manifesto was not aligned with principles of scrum.

Software people also have deadlines, less strict than hardware sometimes, but they still do. If people in Silicon Valley thought the same way as hardware folks, we would be using Java for all applications and Oracle databases. But instead we have a huge ecosystem of open source databases to choose from and and a plethora of languages designed for different tasks.

I worked at Intel designing tools for hardware people to use (I am also a hardware person, but I see the power of software) and it was years of hair pulling to get anywhere, even in the face of clear advantages being offered.

Why isn't there an open source simulator as powerful as vcs out there? Why don't we have open source timing analysis tools? Because the culture just doesn't encourage exploration in these areas. And if you try, people will just not take you seriously.
