Growing up, I had a friend with a Japanese parent. She had supernaturally neat handwriting, produced with various impossibly cute and meticulous-looking Japanese pens and stationary over the years. I felt like some kind of clumsy, nasty barbarian in comparison.

Japan is, of course, just a place. The people there are ordinary humans. Fetishizing a particular culture is both cringeworthy and genuinely harmful. Their country and society have plenty of problems, just like any other. There is nothing magical about Japan or any other place.

However. If all that remains of their civilization in 10,000 years is a curiously well-preserved Japanese stationary store, perhaps buried Pompei-style and frozen in time... future historians may conclude otherwise.
No, fuzz is 100% wrong. Multicast makes more-effective use of fiber, where each new fiber link branching off provides its own, private pool of bandwidth, added on to all the others.

Once you get to radio spectrum transmission, each pair of endpoints competes with every other pair in range, in a strictly limited pool of bandwidth. Adding another terminal takes away capacity from all the others. A multicast stream going to your satellite and then distributed to 100 terminals by multicast burns 100x the fixed available bandwidth as each terminal gets.

The only way to get any benefit from batching delivery over radio spectrum is via broadcast. For a packet network, you have the extra chore of making those broadcast packets actually useful to as many terminals as possible. In practice that requires caching of broadcast content in the terminal, so that when it is actually asked for it is already there.
I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that faith is inherently irrational, but I will say this:

All people everywhere live by faith.

This is because no one can know the future. You get in your car and drive to work. You are going by faith that you won't get killed in a car crash. Why do I know this? Because if you knew you would be killed, you wouldn't get in the car. You don't know. But you get in your car anyways, hoping by faith (probably subconsciously) you won't get killed.

By faith, I look at the evidence and believe God exists. By faith, someone else looks at the evidence (or lack thereof) and concludes He doesn't.

I can't know for sure if I'm correct. The other person is in the same position.

When we die, we'll know (technically, if the atheist is correct, we won't know anything at all). Good luck!
Put another way, at least how my understanding of Catholic tradition goes, atoning for sin (which was present from the Original Sin of Adam to every little or big sin we commit from time to time) demands sacrifice, and no sacrifice is sufficient to atone for all of it except for a sacrifice of God Himself. Various religions tried grain sacrifices, animals, even the ultimate sacrifice of humans, the one creature made in God's image (which was then discouraged with the story of Abraham and Isaac), but only Jesus, who was both fully God and fully human, could be the perfect sacrifice, which as a re-exercise of everything from the Last Supper through the crucifixion and resurrection, is done as the Eucharistic Rite at Mass. Jesus is seen as the perfection of the imperfect Adam, and his mother Mary (believed to have been conceived without sin, so as to be the mother of Christ) is seen as the perfection of the imperfect Eve.
Electricity mostly looks for a quick path to ground. If that path goes from one finger to your other finger in the same hand -- I mean, this isn't suggested, but it is usually not fatal. If it goes from your hand to your other hand, it might take a quick stop by at your heart which is not great.
Good points. Unfortunately, relocation is not an options for us due to extended family.

> What is your main motivation? You mentioned affording a bigger home. Is money the main issue? Do you enjoy the work you do? Do you want to work on other projects and maybe not what you're working on in your current team?

Money seems to be main issue. I love programming and didn't mind dead-end job as I was programming, at work and after work. I would love to stay programmer and make FAANG salaries but having tough time with Leetcode.

> If your focus is your side projects, this is train wreck waiting to happen.

No, side projects are over. As a parent, I cannot do it without taking time away from my kids. If I go in management, I will be all in. Blast radius is bigger but I hope I can be effective manager.
What a pleasure it must be working with someone who think important work is mind numbing and great company let him "jam" on "cutting edge" stuff (which I always translate as "dead in two years because too boring eventually for the jammers")
you would probably get a lot more energy in cumulative milliwatt-hours per week/month from having a tiny 2 x 1cm size photovoltaic cell such as from a cheap desk calculator exposed to ambient room light, and something like that has no moving parts.

if we are talking about actual practical IoT things a single "big" solar cell (125x125 or 156x156mm) size is quite cheap, and you'd run the output of the PV cell directly into a tiny battery charge controller circuit configured to keep one 18650 or 21700 size battery at its float voltage.
The risks are low, very low if you have a GFCI but if the conditions are just "right", it can be lethal.

It a enough current goes through your heart at exactly the wrong time, it can mess with your heartbeat and cause fibrillation, and without help, you die.

It's cloud-free, spyware-free, adware-free.

The default configuration works with the same basic configuration any consumer-grade system would require.

Extensive configuration capability is offered through either of two graphical front-ends, the basic Turris, the advanced Luci, or for those who prefer talking in words rather than gestures, a highly capable Linux system residing underneath.

Yes, I know I do consider it: will this guy believe there's a right to raise or will he instead accept there's a duty to perform ?

If you want a company where merit is rewarded but taking your time is accepted as long as you dont whine each time a brilliant innovator is promoted, finding people who stay longer will yield you either innovators able to move upward quickly enough or solid maintainers who are satisfied specialising.

As a fact, a lot of people may feel that way, but not a large percentage. That's just a small percentage of a large number is still a large number.

I may be missing something but I don't think this prevents rollbacks. Can a client prove that the server rolled back / lost data?
Yes I did. That quote does not necessarily mean those cures were fraudulent--it could be pure incompetence.

But again, the issue is not deciding what's safe and what's effective. It's finding that something is effective and then telling citizens they can't use effective treatments (or even tests) arbitrarily.

I'm glad the FDA is testing the safety and effectiveness of tests and cures. That doesn't mean the grandparent commenter who wants to monitor their blood glucose levels should be dismissed.
And I'll note what is or isn't addressed. As I please.
Measuring time can be an evil. Like people who have to look at a clock in the morning to decide if they are still tired.

There is really just no need to measure milestones and compare them to a schedule. Development does not ever reliably follow one, just ask parents when their child first did X and you’ll get huge variations, often on years. The question is, what will you do if X is early or late? The answer is probably nothing besides what you would do anyway. Constantly stressing over it though and pressuring to meet some unreliable information with a questionably sourced timeframe is likely to cause problems.

Enjoy your child’s development, don’t turn it into a series of sprints.
I took a calligraphy course when I was in uni. Interestingly enough by a Japanese woman. City I went to school in also has one of the largest Japanese communities in Europe and a even a few Japanese crafts/pens/office shops. Article definitely rings true.

If you have a university close by that's I think a decent place to start.
An atheist has many definitions but one used very commonly is simply the lack of a belief in any gods. So I can believe in those little men (blue or green) and still be an atheist as long as those men are not divinely powerful gods.

I see how you are trying to define atheism: "Atheists would take a research paper as truth over their own direct experience. They hold Science as most dear and most important and they label faith and beliefs and spiritual experiences as make believe or pretend fantasy."

Again I remind you that atheism is a very broad term. As an atheist I follow the most common definition and have no belief in god as I have not seen any evidence they exist yet. If I have some sort of personal supernatural experience and god reveals themself to me, I see no reason why I wouldn't believe in them. Especially over some flimsy piece of paper.

I can also believe in something without evidence and still be an atheist. For example I believe in the supernatural to some extent because it brings me comfort and because there is so much that we still do not understand.

What are you even saying? We should restrict selling fish to only those who actually need omega-3 and vitamin-D? Or that we've been fishing too much for the past 50 years that the seas are dry? Or that we should restrict selling fish to those who really need it (how do you define that and who is you)?

Apologies for the fish analogy but you managed to sidetrack me from the beginning.

If there's short supply of home tests the US, the government as far as I'm aware is able to authorize production solely for a specific cause. No FDA intervention needed. But if there's no urgent need then a company can manufacture a product, and FDA can within reasonable (this is what is being argued) parameters decide who gets to sell what and to whom.

The issue outlined in the OP is that the FDA seems to be hellbent on having a monopoly on testing, whatever the testing is about. Are you able to refute that? Is there a shortage of testing going on right now?

If you ask for reform, you will wait forever. Reform is possible when there is a credible threat of a much greater shake up.

Reform are concession that demonstrate what more is possible in a given moment. Without further progress it will be withdrawn after the threat dissipates.

Freedom includes the freedom for people to make choices that you (or me) disagree with.

An individual getting vaccinated or not has some externalities for the rest of society. The answer from orthodox economics is to measure / estimate these externalities, and then apply taxes and/or subsidies appropriately.

The vaccines are already free for the patient, that's a generous subsidy. If that's not enough, they could give everyone who gets vaccinated fifty bucks or tax unvaccinated people some extra fee.

Another example: in Singapore the government used to cover everyone's covid hospitalization costs, recently they changed to only covering them for vaccinated people (or those with a medically valid excuse).

> Of course I know charging an entire country's plugs isn't an overnight thing but it should be something under consideration.

Of course changing an entire country from the (slightly more) dangerous 230 to the much safer 110 should be considered as well...

In reality the plugs and also the voltage don't seem to be major safety issues.

(Also fwiw US plugs are generally TRRs now which do prevent the more common situations.)
Interesting, sounds like PRC benefits from HSR in a way that even Europe or Japan don’t.
Pretty much reflects my view.

Mail is hard to set up properly, but it's not ridiculously hard to set up. Anyone with average Unix administration skills can do it. I might add that OpenSMTPd is a lot easier than postfix and makes a dangerous open relay misconfiguration hard to do, so it's my recommendation to the uninitiated.

It requires maintenance attention, but not a ridiculous level like some suggest.

What is ridiculous is the effort you will go to to stop your connections being bounced, or (worse) your emails going to spam folders. It's this third reason why I use Fastmail to run my email.

I mean I haven't measured it, but it isn't a leap at all to have this position.
also this is an interesting argument for the concept of why NEMA 5-15 (USA standard receptacles) should be installed what we would commonly think of as upside-down. the most common theoretical scenario I've seen is exactly like this with a coin falling off a table or furniture, or anything else metal/conductive that might bridge between the two pins.

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=install...

if upside down, the theoretical metal object (imagine a safety pin falling off a table and into a half-inserted plug) would bridge between the ground pin and one of the two pins, or may not make contact with the hot pin at all.

it plays havoc with common wall wart ac-to-dc adapters that expect the receptacle to be the usual way up, however. and other devices.
In addition to that, standing seem also allows for solar panels to be clipped onto the seem, removing the need to puncture holes through the roof.

Another advantage is that they reflect heat as well. And for people in fire prone areas, they reduce some of the combustion potential of the roof.

Lots of good reasons in addition to the longevity.
If you need to rename registers, renaming a status register is no more trouble. But having only one way, in the ISA, to mention status is limiting in the same way as having too few named registers.
Uh, 110 was a mistake for efficiency reasons and 230 is basically no more dangerous, since 110 is already lethal. If the US changes all our plugs, we should change to 230 for everything too.
On the other hand, if a recruiter isn't willing to 'work with me' and spend a few minutes on replying an email, are they 'work with me' in the future? Or push their way around for what's best for them?

Alas, there seems to be plenty of snake oil in medicine left. How do we know whether those regulations really help (or not)?
Which makes any blockchain comparison extremely stupid since it doesn't even attempt to solve the same threat model..
I'm not calling for regulation on audiophile gear. The only certification I'd require would be that the device will not electrocute you, and won't produce volume above, say, 140 dB, if sold by a company.

Consequences of any output from audiophile gear are normally not that serious. For a pregnancy test, it could be literally life and death: say, a murder from jealosy, or a suicide from guilt. This makes a strong case for regulation of what can have words "pregnancy test" and synonyms.

I'm fine with people being able to buy stuff that can kill them, be it a gun, a rope, or a substance. But I stand for clear and enforced labeling of such things, regulated proper packaging that prevents accidents, and other such measures that make sure the consumer has plenty of warning, and acts by deliberate choice.

With substances, it's much harder to assess if the thing in hand can kill you, than with a shotgun or a scythe.
LOL it's amazing that we've invented all this stuff and yet never just let our computers talk to each other without a wifi card or a phone or whatever else. We just needed a speaker and a microphone the whole time.

How long before someone makes a phone app to just let two phones talk to each other to transmit a file? No, I don't care about your network, just let me access the speaker & microphone and beep at each other a little bit...

> No statewide ID

"Sure but now everyone can track me down with my account ID! [Which is of course in the number of The Devil!11]" - the guy who has SSN.

I wasn't clear in my previous post, but statewide ID isn't needed for the consumers, of course, but behind the curtains this is still much a bank to bank wire transfer, just using a different protocols. One of the attack vectors is making an account, filling it with money (eg stolen from the other accounts) following with the cash out and begone in the wind. With the near instant money transfers it would means it could be done VERY fast and nobody (except criminals) would be happy if that could be done easily. Having an account tied to your nation-wide ID means you can do it only once and then you have painted a target on your back by yourself.
Of course there are SSN, KYC and other things, but aside from FBI's Most Wanted (joke) there is amusingly small list of things one US state entity can know about entity of other US state.

It is also always helpful to remember to treat US not as a country but as an association of countries under a single flag and currency. That way it would be much easier to answer multiple "WHY in America...." questions.

Bitcoin the word is an overloaded term. I think when people say Bitcoin, they really mean all cryptocurrencies taken together. You can watch all cryptos go up and down relative to what bitcoin is doing. So, in that respect, there is no upper cap to "Bitcoin" since there are tons of coins and they all tend to balance out (of their relative worth).
