The gap between what locals can afford and what the houses generally purchased as 2nd homes cost is vast. You saying "bring down the price" as if that's a fairly trivial thing, but to bring them down enough to make them affordable for locals is not a trivial thing at all. I suspect that in general, it just isn't possible.

I’d never heard of this, so thank you! I’m not very excited by the prospect of surgery, and all of the other “treatments” I’ve been recommended are steeped deeply in woo, or pretty obviously a bad idea, or both. (E.g. colloidal silver.)

A little web searching even turns up an NIH study. The abstract indicates promising results with the only likely downside being a possible case of minor irritation.

That makes sense, you live in Seattle where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate more then 20 degrees. If we are giving simple solutions and changing the focus to energy conservation why not just increase energy production?

It's interesting to think of the reasons we don't have browser-based 3D renderers. Sure, WebGL exists. But it seems like the promise fizzled out, and I'm not quite sure why.

There are TikTokers with a lot of influence promulgating it from their basements.

The vast number of commentators seem to be taking the insanity at face value. A lot of comments like 'Wow, that's an interesting perspective' of 'I've never heard that, they don't teach us everything in school'.

While I'm not worried about that meme, it's just shocking to see how easy it is to delude people.

Combined with the Pew polling showing young people don't really get their news from normative sources, it's a bit worrying. Cable news is all Senior Citizens while Gen Z is off on Twitch and TikTok.
I'm not sure who the 'they' are that you reference to, but China gave the WHO information, which the WHO passed on, exactly as they are charged to do.

If you have a problem with that you should probably lay it at the feet of the Chinese government officials that did that. But Adhanom did visit and did in fact get the Chinese to cooperate.

The Taiwan/China issue is obviously a very sensitive one to the Chinese and this has muddied the waters, as has - probably - an initial attempt by China to wipe this under the carpet. The end result is that the pandemic has probably become worse than it could have been but:

- Subsequent events, even after much more knowledge had been gathered by the West did not lead to substantially different policies in Western countries, if anything the countermeasures were - and still are - too late and too lax.

- The WHO does appear to have learned some lessons from this pandemic.

- The prevention paradox is real: if the WHO had sounded a massive alarm early on and had been found to be wrong then they would have been hard pressed to do this again at some point in the future because everybody would have called them the boy that cried wolf. But this time there was a wolf, and this time wasn't helped by the previous times that WHO raised the alarm and no pandemic at a massive scale occurred. Note that it doesn't really matter whether we prevented it successfully or whether it would have fizzled out.

- Finally, it is super easy to criticize from the sidelines, I think the WHO has a nearly impossible mission, to get a very large number of countries to collaborate in spite of a whole raft of political complications, egos and other bullshit. Given that they did a commendable job, I hope they will put the lessons learned to good effect, they did more than any single government in the world to help combat this pandemic.

> a thoughtful and faithful adaptation of a great video game

Unfortunately, faithfully adapting a video game to tabletop is a terrible idea, in my experience. I first saw this with the 2003 Age of Mythology adaptation. Video games can rely on the computer to track intricate systems, but when those systems are too dear to the central concept to be cut out or drastically altered in translation, the tracking becomes a burden on the players. Tabletop has a very limited budget for such before it becomes unpleasant. (Yes, even in high complexity games. Good designers work hard to mitigate various facets of complexity.)

What gives you this impression? I thought different software at art university (Unity game engine, Blender) during the last years. The spread between people who alt tab their way between programs and people who move the mouse as if it was some foreign object didn't change much since 15 years ago in my experience.

What might have changed is that people have different expectations in how easy/hard software should be to learn.

Default macOS will still check for Apple’s seal of approval on software, but this is done by developers signing their distributed app.

Heads up, you're still pointing to Freenode for the IRC channel. Possibly you'd want to change that to point at Libera.Chat. The channel already exists at the latter.
Is it really so hard for them to spend 30 seconds explaining this to users? It's not exactly rocket science, right? They could literally send a text when they notice a new incompatible device like this appearing on a line (and maybe periodically, like once every year or something):

"Hi, this is a free SMS from AT&T. We noticed you're trying to use a Galaxy A32 phone on our network. Unfortunately this phone doesn't support some of our bands (12/13/17), so you might experience poor or no coverage in some situations. We recommend you upgrade your phone, otherwise you might run into issues. If you have any questions, please call our representatives at 1-800-288-2020."

You'd think they could automatically annotate these accounts with a little note for the next customer service rep so they're aware of this possible issue if the customer calls. Then users won't be confused as to why their coverage is poor, but they can still use their devices if they really want to.

Why is it so hard for companies to communicate honestly and openly? Why do they prefer to let others stay in the dark and make problems 10x harder for everyone instead? Isn't it kind of unreasonable to expect customers to be "understanding" of problems when they don't put in an honest effort into helping them understand the problems?

> From day #1 the WHO has been arguing for strong countermeasures rather than to slow-walk it to see how bad it was going to get because time lost will not be won back during a pandemic.

This is explicitly false. The WHO did not argue for strong countermeasures from “day #1”. They didn’t even acknowledge human to human transmission until late January 2020 (https://twitter.com/WHOWPRO/status/1219478547644813312?s=20 ). Here they are recommending against the general use of masks at the end of January 2020. (https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstreams/1269003/retrieve). Here’s Tedros himself saying travel bans are not needed in February 2020 (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-who/who-chie...). The WHO only declared a pandemic in March 2020, apparently because they thought such a declaration would cause governments and individuals to give up (https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/11/who-declares-the-coronav...). All this after Taiwan initially warned the WHO in December 2019 (https://www.cdc.gov.tw/En/Bulletin/Detail/PAD-lbwDHeN_bLa-vi...).

The WHO absolutely did fail us and your claimed narrative is false.
I spent the last week in Butte for Thanksgiving. We made our way up to an overlook of the pit on Friday. We got to hear the wailers mentioned; there were no other actions but the dump trucks running material from the still open parts of the mine.

It's odd visiting the thing that's messed up so much of what I call home in Montana. I grew up in Missoula, downstream of Butte. That city also had a nearby superfund site, Milltown Dam, that had captured mining tailings washed downstream from Butte and the other town I visited Anaconda.

Of course to escape Missoula once they removed the dam I moved to East Helena, home of the East Helena Slag Pile a remnant of when the ASARCO lead smelter spewed smoke all over the town.

Goes the other way too — CRPGs are faithful renditions of DnD 5 rulesets and are generally a painful slog to go through; their only saving grace being the writing. All the variables and rules and none of the flexibility to act on it.

Whereas roguelikes are much less faithful rendition of ADnD, but do a much better job of keeping the spirit.

Really as a general rule, faithful adaptations between mediums is a recipe for dull outcomes
Tiny is basically as advertised. A few years ago, I tried to sell one of my businesses to them (Zack) and he was straightforward in his reason to pass back then (profit too low). Took about a day once I had my metrics sorted.

It doesn't. They meant that their plan to take action if the lead levels rose was a workable one, i.e. they were able to execute the plan. They also said that lead levels in their children never rose. The sentence might have been more clear with an 'and' after the comma, although it was clear enough in context (IMO) without it.
It's really impressive the amount of information we can extract from anything with modern technologies.
CDN Servers sometimes trigger my paranoia. They can inject malicious javascript commands into any server at any time. They can track visitors. They also provide users with short loading times. We seem to place too much emphasis on fast consumption or ignore privacy. Our relationship with the Internet is based on mutual trust. We live on the assumption that others will not do anything harmful. I must say that this is far from wise. Do we know if some CDN servers are injecting malicious javascript commands into sites based on random requests?

Maybe it's just paranoia, but if they do something and we don't know it, can we call it paranoia? It's possible, so it's not paranoia, and I'm not a freak.

You're coming off worse in this argument because you seem to realize on some level they're just using different (possibly wrong) terms in their accurate description of the mechanisms, but then you keep making snide remarks that imply they don't understand the mechanisms.
But surely some company would see it as an advantage over competitors and sell it if it was easily accessible. But we don’t see that so there has to be more to it. Maybe cost is too high for the average customer?
And of course it should be that way: if they want your time (you not being able to do other jobs, you not being able to relax, etc) they should pay for it.

Forcing them to think in your hours can also have the nice side effect that they get their communications in order.

The ability to search menus is pretty discoverable. The search field is the first thing in the menu when you click the Help menu bar in any app.

But of course the shortcut to jump to the search area is completely undiscoverable, as are many macOS features. You can see it if you go to preferences -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> app shortcuts. (And you can also reconfigure the shortcut key, or reconfigure any shortcut in any app. That feature I love)

> where the virus has mutated for maximum survival and this variant becomes no more serious than a bad cold for young/healthy folks.

I think this idea is overly optimistic and can be misleading.

Maximum survivability of the virus does not necessarily coincide with with it being no 'more serious than a bad cold'. It often means the virus can not have traits which make spreading harder. Like killing the infected too quickly or having noticeable symptoms the lead the infected to be isolated.

I can imagine many long term side effects that do not effect the virus's survival in the short term and therefore will not be weeded through natural selection in a reasonable timeframe. Any side effect which is not detectable for a long time like early onset of cognitive decline in old age or shorting life span by 1-5 years would seem to fit.

There is no guarantee the final form of the virus will end up similar common cold.
Sigh. How could they? Have you ever considered economies of scale and that PINE64 don’t make extra money from preinstalling crapware that tracks you?

DNS is based around central authority though. Every root zone has name servers that serve as the authority. Their responses get cached at various levels but take those servers offline until TTLs start expiring and everything breaks.

What part of DNS do you feel is possible without a centralized authority?
Fair enough, I should have said “be a small island”. Obviously everything changes when you’re dealing with a population two orders of magnitude that of New Zealand: it’s harder to secure ports, harder to control contagion internally, etc. Moreover, the US never even attempted to harden its ports until the virus was already spreading out of control.

That said, the US has a lot of people crossing its land borders—even if it completely hardened its ports, outlawed border crossings, and was much better at reducing internal contagion, it would still have to deal with thousands of people who cross illegally and who aren’t going to quarantine for two weeks or abide by any kind of contact tracing programs.

I'm mostly on your side as far as policy goes, but Jesus Christ, with friends like you, who needs enemies.

I ask anyone here, if someone were to go to you, talk down to you and continuously declare their contempt for you and your kind. Then suddenly flip around and say that they mean the best for you and X policy is for your own good. What would your initial reaction be, assuming you have no idea about the ground truth.

So go on, insult them, demonize them and continue your tribal war. Then complain to your own tribe why the enemy tribe doesn't take your perfectly good advice at face value.
