Yes. And quite intentionally.

1. Started playing rugby again after 12 years. Good male relationships. Physical exercise. A sense of time passing and a season in the year.
2. Violin. I wanted something I could spend ten years learning. And a creative hobby but that worked with analytical approach.

Time? Both take a lot of time and effort - but maybe less than you would expect.

Rugby: Email ten teams in the local area, attend the training of the one who was friendliest in their response. Training twice a week and a game on Saturday. I now go to the gym as well. All the above is optional.

Violin: Cheap violin is £100. Online lessons are cheap and convenient. After a year I bought a more expensive violin. I practice on my lunch break - little but often.

Do it. It's a made a lot of difference to my happiness.

I've got an estimate here that says Grindr is doing 31 million dollars net on over 100 mil revenue per year. I am by no means in favor of running these companies into the ground. The fines are definitely a balancing act. But it seems at the present moment the expected value of breaking the rules is substantily higher than 0.

I did this for a while but a lot of US manufacturers seem to like producing low quality items for a high price under the label "Made in USA".
I can't find any solid supporting sources that provide any evidence that there exists a positively safe dosage, but even the linear-no-threshold models suggest the effects of low dosages are small enough to be hard to measure; i.e. which model is correct is practically irrelevant for low enough (e.g. 1-10 mSv?) dosages.
"These specific authoritarian systems that used communist/socialist language as a smokescreen to get the people to go along with them did not create beneficial results" is not the gotcha argument you think it is.
The radiation hormesis idea is controversial but that is a bad argument against it. Molecular scale events interacting with molecular scale DNA repair machinery is a different physical context than bullets.

The body is hit by natural radiation all the time and so it has mechanisms for this. Not so much for macroscopic projectiles.

The question is how these mechanisms behave and whether a small amount of radiation stimulates them… and then how much, for how long, etc. It’s a complex model with multiple systems and feedback loops.
Even if something doesn't say "Made in China", the chances are that many or most of it's components were made in China.

You have a bit better chances if you instead whitelist countries with stricter rules of origin (for example, Made in USA requires 50% of the components to be made here) but even then much of the supply chain for that item will probably trace back to China.
I started learning the piano a year and a half ago. I make electronic music and was becoming frustrated by my limited musical knowledge acting as a barrier to creating more complex arrangements.

I've found the best way to get stuck into a new hobby is to not make excuses to yourself like "oh but I can't do that because I don't have X or Y piece of equipment". Just start with whatever means you have available and if it sticks then invest some money in the hobby. For example, I had a small midi keyboard so I just started learning on that, then bought myself the cheapest full size electric piano I could find once I'd managed a couple of months of consistent practice.

Also I think it's hard to pick up a hobby just for the sake of it, there has to be some kind of motivation - like the example of me wanting to improve my songwriting by learning the piano. I'm now seeing tangible results and it's immensely satisfying, which motivates me to carry on spending 20-30 mins a day practicing the piano.
I don't understand how this is even possible.

Libraries are a service that We the People have decided are a good thing to provide free to everyone.

Books can be read for free, information should be accessible to all, and all entirely free from any distortions or restrictions caused by a profit motive or 'invested interests'.

So, where is the profit in privatizing libraries unless access will no longer be for all, information will no longer be undistorted, etc?
This is great news, I just hope Meta doesn't get any sort of control over Godot as a result of this.
Anything with a fast and rewarding feedback loop, with a community of amateurs that value learning and hacking.

An ideal to me might be Javascript in a sandbox like Khan Academy's Javascript courses[1]. It feels like when I learned programming in AppleBasic or Borland's QuickBasic. My son does these occasionally - there's many games people have created you can explore and hack on. Reminds me of trying to figure out how Snake worked in MS DOS back in the day.

> Why can't data be considered as a means of payment in this case?

One of the biggest reason would be that using data as payment has demonstrated to push out companies that don't want to collect data. Data as a mean of payment is less clear to the consumer about the costs, and there is no real good way to inform the public outside of an massive investment into the general education that focus on privacy, data laws, how data is gathered, why it is gathered, how it get traded and used, and what the outcomes are. The value added through data is also not taxed which creates an unfair advantage compared to other payment methods.
This is contrary to what I have seen in my day to day practice over the last couple of years. Now, of course it is possible that my sample size is too small (about 120 companies over that period) but I highly doubt that.

Data collected indirectly to would for instance be data used to 'enrich' a profile, for instance by buying it from a third party. That data would still show up in a DSAR, but it would likely not be private data because no company is stupid enough in the current climate to sell that without a very good legal review. Data collected surreptitiously (for instance, GPS location information, device IDs and such) count as user supplied for the purpose of the GDPR, and collecting that without consent and disclosing that you are collecting it and supplying a legal basis for processing is illegal.

Of course transparency in reporting should be the first prerequisite for arranging a World Cup. And unless we have free press showing the opposite, we can only assume the death toll to be higher than reported.

For sure. It actually reminded me of when I was first learning QuickBasic. Appending certain words to a hidden text file (I think via TSR?) on boot was how we would casually fill up the hard drives of the lab computers in our electronics class, driving the teacher back into his submarine CPO days and streams of curse words. Fortunately he took it in stride and got us back...

Germany could reduce its total CO2 emissions by 10% simply by shutting down only three lignite power plants: Neurath, Niederaußem, Jänischwalde. These three alone produce 81 Million tons of CO2 per year:

https://energy-charts.info/charts/emissions/chart.htm?l=de&c...

It is really unclear to me why everyone is talking about shutting down nuclear power plants, but nobody talks about shutting down lignite power plants.

First of all, both of these are different beasts. Syncthing requires building a network layer of trusted machines to share files between.

FFS is closer to Rsync and the main feature is fast and detailed file tree inspection and conflict resolution with the help of GUI.
There's another way to make the collection of personal information less economical, which we can all contribute to. Send GDPR and CCPA data requests. Each request incurs some small but not insignificant cost for the company to handle it. This is because the process is hard to automate. Don't spam companies just for the sake of sending requests, but do get in the habit of using them to reduce your exposure.

Disclosure: I'm one of the founders of YourDigitalRights.org, a free service that makes it easy to send these sort of requests.
I've never traveled anywhere yellow fever is endemic so I don't know a ton about it other than the vaccination requirements you mention.

I carry my vaccination card in my wallet so I'm not immediately opposed to some sort of verifiable way to confirm one's vaccination status. There are absolutely some instances where it makes sense to mandate it, but it's wrong to try to structure society so that you can't take part unless you're vaccinated. There's a point at which mandates and guidelines aren't helpful anymore and they become theater. I'm not going to put a mask on at the entrance to a restaurant, walk ten feet to a table, and take my mask off. That's theater.

I have unvaccinated family members. They're not changing their mind, I'm done trying to change it, but they're still in my family and they're not disowned or excommunicated because they happen to be wrong about something. Omicron seems as transmissible or slightly more-so, but much less deadly. That sounds like exactly what we thought multiple variants would lead to a year ago. It sounds like things are in the right track and we're on our way out of the forest, so to speak. But, government being government, I don't see mandates slowing or going away any time soon. I think what's here is here to stay, whether it works or not.
Wow, it's just what I wanted. How'd you know!? Thanks!
I have been using Vaultwarden for all my home needs for some time and I love it. I host it on a raspberry pi in a docker container and have had no issues whatsoever.
“ Similarly, we don’t write unit tests for every new feature. The thing that hinders our ability to unit test is precisely the focus on static structures. Static methods and properties are global, harder to replace at runtime, and therefore, harder to “stub” or “mock.” Those capabilities are very important for proper isolated unit testing.”

Is it in C#? That’s surprising. It’s relatively easy to stub and mock things out in C++, so you don’t need all these “testability” patterns, although I do find passing dependencies around as constructor parameters or properties makes code easier to understand overall.

That's a really good point - I was thinking purely about the language itself, but having a community to interact with, learn from, share with, and get excited with really makes a huge difference.

Being able to help people reach that "Ah, I get it!" point, or experiencing it yourself after hours of struggling, is a great way to maintain interest and not get frustrated
Not really, you don't have to prove you paid taxes to use a library. That's a pretty big difference.

Lower violence is a benefit.

Guns are only one variable and generally have nothing to do with the underlying socioeconomic causes of violence. We see this with state level homicide data - some states with high firearm ownership also have lower homicide rates than states with lower firearm ownership and more stringent restrictions.

"Nonexistent GV would be better of course, and one of the steps to achieve that..."

Do you have proof of that? My understanding is that gun violence exists everywhere to one degree or another. You can take various steps to reduce it, but it has never been eliminated.

Wait until they try this again. It may not be the Norwegian DPA that acts the next time around, it could be the UK DPO, the Dutch AP or any one of a whole raft of others, and they'll all take into account that they were already fined once before. This fine is level '2', apparently you ignored the first warning so now you get a major but not crippling fine. The next one will not be at that level, there is a pretty clear progression for repeat fines.

One case, a hospital first got a warning, then a small fine and then a mid six figure fine for a case involving a single patient. You can rely on them having learned their lesson and that there will not be a third fine.
Does anyone else take notes by sending messages to themselves on Signal or another messaging app? I've been doing that for years. Taking notes in dedicated note-taking apps always seems to involve more friction than sending myself a message. The note-taking apps I've tried also lacked polish compared to messaging apps.

It's important to me that I can take notes on my phone because it's the thing I have on me most of the time (unlike a laptop or notebook). Sometimes a random thought pops up and will distract me until I write it down. On my laptop I can use the Signal desktop app to view, add, or search notes. Every note automatically gets a timestamp and is synced between my devices. Both taking and viewing notes works without an Internet connection.

Notes can't be edited but more information can be added by replying to a note and the new information gets its own timestamp. Sometimes I also use emoji reactions as tags. Recently I've started to use groups in which I'm the only member as note categories (e.g. ideas, thoughts, journal, work).
That's exactly the conflating factor that worries me. We know Omicron is much better at evading prior immunity, so we should expect a higher proportion of people with prior immunity among Omicron infections, which (all other things being equal) will make Omicron look less severe. But this would be illusory - the absolute number of severe infections wouldn't be less, they would just be diluted by mild infections that otherwise wouldn't have happened at all.
>Are we really trying to compare the two

I wasn't going for a comparison, but if you do want to go there, US's track record on not respecting sovereign states' autonomy is a lot, lot worse.

>China is currently carrying out a genocide in Xinjiang

There is no actual evidence China carrying out any genocide in Xinjiang. Implementing a two/three child policy does not constitute a genocide.

I hate that this thread has now become a typical reddit discussion, but you were the one who came in here with the baseless assertions.

>I personally don’t think what-aboutism is particularly helpful in the context of discussions around the risk China faces to worldwide stability.

I wasn't making a "what-aboutism". I was making the argument that China taking over as the superpower would actually be an improvement in the whole "other sovereign states' autonomy" department.

From my point of view, any risk to worldwide stability coming from China's rise as superpower comes primarily from US and the western world not being mentally prepared for that transition. I am afraid that the propaganda machinery of the west is already underway trying to prepare their citizens for a future war against China.
The value of a car to someone who never leaves a walkable city is less than zero. The only reason they'd even accept a free car is because someone else would buy it off them. There is no such thing as inherent value. Even something as basic as food is worthless to someone who has no use for it.

I agree, thus the reason to drink water all day.
LNT is controversial because there is not enough data to support it. The data that we do have doesn't support any low-dose model conclusively as far as I know. The upside of this is the effects have to be very small, so it basically doesn't matter, because the risk of low-doses is effectively zero regardless the theory. The problem with LNT in terms of science communication is it's easy to make it sound as-if the risk isn't effectively zero.
That tab can be useful if you need to relaunch the zoom meeting (after a free 30m meeting ends, after accidentally exiting, or if you have a more complicated a/v setup and the audio devices didn't take).

I’ve been really diving into Rust over this holiday break and reading through code bases like this is really helpful. Little things like a shared db connection are not intuitive on the first pass when everything is under such a strict borrow/move/release paradigm. I’m going to study this a little closer but it still isn’t super clear to me. In other languages I would probably implement a singleton of some sort. I know that can be done with Rust but I’m struggling to find examples that I can understand in the wild. Most examples are small single main.rs files.
I think that although (estimated) magnitude is helpful, Japan's system also calculates the (estimated) intensity from the earthquake for your local area. Not always correct (but this tends to be rare), but usually within +/-1 of the Shindo scale (which is their local intensity scaling). Seems that ShakeAlert doesn't compute (yet, hopefully) the estimated intensity in your area.

The question "can government be trusted" is long answered with a resounding NO it can not

Government like fire is a useful servant, but a fearful master.

This is why we have separation of powers, checks and balances, and a federalist system in the US, because we understand government can never, and should never be trusted.

Government is control, government is fear, government is power. Power Corrupts, and the only way to prevent that corruption is to deny power, to check power, to distribute power.

From watching my son learn, basic concepts of programming have enough frustration built in, that I feel you really need to optimize the rewarding feedback loop aspects. Jumping to CS concepts is a bridge too far, and TBH, there's a lot of programming-literate jobs that don't need it.
