I looked up Hyperthymic/hyperthymia, so you don't have to...:

Hyperthymic temperament, or hyperthymia ... is a proposed personality type characterized by an exceptionally, or in some cases, abnormally positive mood and disposition. It is generally defined by increased energy, vividness and enthusiasm for life activities, as opposed to dysthymia.

It doesn't necessarily read as snide.
> I continued onto SGU and only made it a few episodes in before abandoning it, it just didn’t flow as well and felt very depressing

It is true that SGU took too long but I think that it was cancelled right when it was getting it all together. Second season was way better than the first. Overall, I prefer SGU over SGA.

> Here’s hoping if Amazon/MGM do revive it they go for more of the original flavour, if not necessarily any of the original cast.

MGM attempted this with SGO[1] but it failed rather misearably.

The government is owed money. It has the ability to forgive it. That is its prerogative (viewing it as a single entity). It can do with its money (or obligations of debt to it) as it sees fit. Just like the landowner in the parable is able to do pay whatever he wants to the workers he hired last.

A long time ago I was on unemployment pay. It was a meager sum of money. I wasn’t upset that during the pandemic unemployment was quite generous.

Not only that, but many billionaires came from influential families with political connections, e.g. bill gates.

Next thing, the majority of the top 100 billionaires came from families with wealth and education far above average, and from wealthy countries.

Social mobility can be measured and numbers show that the rags-to-riches stories are statistically very rare.

The best success advice is "be lucky" but the narrative of "hard work" is more convenient.
It seems Feedback Hub is a way to give people the feeling that they have somewhere to be heard, without them actually making any difference.

It's a bit like with online petitions: most people feel they have done something after signing a petition, but the vast majority of petitions don't change anything.
Windows is not accesible even to people without disdabilities.

>Do you think it costs the government more to protect a person with a house, or a person with a mansion?

These are the same. If someone were to trespass onto your property it's going to be up to you to defend it. The police are too far away to come save you. There's no difference from the police's perspective since the size of your property doesn't matter to them. Whatever work they do upstream to protect you does not depend on the size of your property.

I've gone to a halfway house. My smartphone has become a small tablet that never leaves the house and I put the SIM into a Nokia that cost £17 for calls and texts. Composing SMS is painful compared to a smartphone. Other than that I really like leaving internet devices at home, but my wife and friends can still get hold of me. Apart from the occasional snake game, I have no compulsion to pull the Nokia out of my pocket when out. And it only needs charging once or twice a week. It's impractical for most tbh but I find it really helps to shut off. Especially when I've been working on phone apps full time, at those times even looking at a smartphone UI makes me feel sick.
But it doesn't work so well if you prefer to use a conventional external mouse.

> while Kosovo has the cheapest energy prices in Europe due in part to more than 90% of the domestic energy production coming from burning the country’s rich reserves of lignite, a low-grade coal, and fuel bills being subsidised by the government.

The absurdity of the bitcoin mining in the middle of the climate crisis is mind boggling.
I don't think any show has handled the progression of tech better. They start out as little more than scavengers, barely understanding what they're using, and end up building their own starships. And the progression makes sense every step of the way. And there's none of Trek's "fix this week's problem, then never mention this incredibly overpowered solution again".

Also there's never been an American SciFi show that's been so fundamentally athiest. I'm still amazed they got away with that.
I think sibling summed it up really well, I liked the setting and the concept, but I found the focus on drama and inter-personal relationships a bit draining, which is to say not particularly entertaining or interesting to me at least. I’d have loved some more focus on the ship and the journey, but I understand avoiding ‘lore’ was actually a goal of the series so not aimed at me I guess…

Well, risk evaluation is part of founding a company. Sucks to be them but there is no need to keep having rolling blackouts just because some people didn't do their research.
From the perspective of someone not at Microsoft, it feels like part of the reason it's such a mess is because it's obviously really badly curated, to the point that the Feedback Hub app encourages it. Older versions of the Feedback Hub had categorization on the left so you would naturally browse into a category, but then they changed it to not very visible drop-downs and auto-suggested categories. The result is feedback goes to random categories and is never moved to the correct ones, nor is there a way to report miscategorized feedback. There is also still old feedback for bugs that were fixed in the Windows 10 pre-RTM previews, and even some that are just complete gibberish random characters.

Also, at one point they decided that upvoting problems would no longer be allowed. Instead, you were supposed to file your own report with your own logs. Good intention, except that it meant that everyone either filed their bugs as suggestions instead, or flooded the category with tons of dupes of the same bug.

Running a feedback system is hard, and there's value in having a feedback path that's more accessible to users than a bug database. However, Feedback Hub feels like users dumping feedback into a landfill, and the team then trying to sift through that landfill.

Thanks, was hoping there would be exactly this rather than messing with a new extension.
On a related note, why a filesystem and not a database? I get the feeling that a filesystem ultimately is just a .. poor man's database. Except that it's quite crappy and there are no proper transactions, many things are impossible without TOCTOUs, many a bug (including security ones) have been due to race conditions around filesystem operations.

I guess path->{metadata,data} with no transactions is a simple abstraction, as with so many other simple abstractions, it just bites you when you try to build anything nontrivial. Then you need to switch to a real solution. Just as people sometimes start with a bunch of shell scripts before they recoil in horror and realize that they should've started with a real programming language.

I think you are referring to Professional Orders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_order) and, depending on where you live, there may actually be one.
In my country, computer engineers have a professional order they can join after graduation, in the same exact way all the other kinds of engineers they've studied with do. Unlike some other engineering fields, the order does not enforce nor require active membership in any order to work.

The 'trick' back then, which I understand is still up to date is to request a transit visa, as opposed to a tourist visa, which requires/required a paid government guide at all times.

When you visited the embassy, if you were nice enough, had a chat with the consular staff, showed enthusiasm and had a cup of tea, they would issue a 7 day transit visa which you could pick up at the border of your choice.

If not, you'd get a 3 day, pre-dated visa stuck in your passport, which meant organizing a X-month trip around a three day window - tricky to say the least!

Consumption taxes are regressive and bad, but at least they're justifiable. Without government protection, the poor/weak have no rights that the rich/strong have to respect; they end up enslaved, serfs. So they pay a poverty/weakness tax.

Imagine the effort that a government has to put in to offset racist discrimination, as an example. While we might say that racism is a problem caused by the racist, we can't say that racism is a problem for the racist. It's a problem for the race being discriminated against. Levying a tax to pay for that expense makes sense in a purely payment-for-services model of government. Lots of Europe used to charge Jewish taxes, and the Islamic world both Jewish and Christian taxes.
I found the straight-edge scene intellectually lightweight and often insufferable. Substance abuse is common among artists for a reason; many are psychonauts. Merely being a drinker does not a psychonaut make, but then again, Hemmingway wasn't just another drunk. Producing art is akin to shamanism.
No, I think property (or better, land value) taxes are probably the most justifiable of all taxes.

You are occupying land, which is scarce. Noone else can use it, but except for some accident of history or geography you have no more right to one there than anyone else. It makes total sense that you compensate society for your use of the land.

Recent case involving very popular Philips Respironics machines: the foam used for internal insulation was degrading and getting into the stream of air, landing those particles in patients lungs. Huge recall, etc. The kind of problem that testing imposed by regulators can detect.

Incorrect use of CPAP can lead to development of central apnea. (Even APAP machines can be programmed to keep the pressure too high which is long term unhealthy).

With that, I am all for liberalization of the laws. My GP did not prescribe me a CPAP machine despite obvious signs of apnea. "Lose some weight instead" (that despite me having apnea even when I had a BMI of 21).

I never felt as much of a positive difference on my life as when I started using the machine and had my first good night of sleep in decades.

I wish my govt would let me buy an insulin measurement device, but nope, those too are regulated and not available for the general public.
It seems like the root problem is that the way property taxes are assessed doesn’t actually line up with how much demand a given development puts on the city for services/infrastructure. Property taxes are based on, “how much would someone else pay for this”, which isn’t the relevant metric from the city’s perspective, it should be, “approximately how expensive is this property to service year by year, including eventual replacement of infrastructure?”

If you did it that way, low density developments would pay their true costs, and would become more expensive to the ‘end user’ and thus less popular. And if they didn’t, well, they're paying their true costs anyway, so problem solved.
In Japan, digicams are the new film
You're definitely right, advice shouldn't be taken as gospel. We definitely need to have some sort of self reflection and analysis to figure out if things are benefiting the things that really matter most to us
Maybe "What are current reaction plans for drones over nuclear facilities? Did they install anti-drone systems already?"
To keep the class system intact. The ultra-wealthy don't pay much more tax (and don't pay property or inheritance tax, and capital gains tax is also lower than income tax (wtf?)). It's a far less progressive country than the marketing would have you believe.

And unfortunately all the political parties are just focussed on giving more money to the boomers or liberalising the housing market, so it won't change any time soon.
I find this a very negative view.

It sounds very similar to views expressed throughout history saying why the majority of people could not be taught to read write or add up (variously women, girls, poor people, blacks, slaves, Barbarians etc etc.

The expected curve without intervention would have an S-shape: initially, you see exponential growth which will flatten out later on when you reach a point of saturation.

In many countries, the intensive care units have not been in the situation where they had to triage, so the selection effects you report have not been necessary there. And even if, no hospital would make the decision on who to assign to an ICU based on their vaccination status, but based on the medical needs. The fact that we see dramatically less vaccinated people in ICUs is most plausibly explained by the effectiveness of the vaccines.

They can say that it's because they lied and cannot be considered trustworthy and just hint that there are others.

Strictly speaking telling the truth should be protected, but the backlash would probably inhibit that too.

I see it more as a reasonable way of shaping behaviour. Like taxing diesel, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. is fair enough if it helps create a better society.

Taxing electricity whilst trying to encourage people to switch their homes from gas and their cars from diesel, is just crazy.

That's not what I got from the article. It seemed to me to say that alcohol could be used to get to know one's self better. Truly getting to know one's self isn't always safe. Nothing risked, nothing gained.

As I was growing up I found that "straight edge" and "hardcore Christian" overlapped too much for my comfort.

While both "straight edge" and "hardcore Christian" would not drink I never found them to have much overlap or common ground beyond that. When I was growing up people who self-identified as "straight edge" where far more likely to involved in the far left, anarchist and/or anti fascist scene. I never knew someone who didn't drink for purely religious reasons to describe themselves as "straight edge".
The whole crux of this article is that compensation is incorrectly assumed to be the main driver of turnover.

Agreed. I do think there is plenty of real-world application for Essence. I have some professional experience in this space (forth, embedded SBCs, micros) and a number of times designs got rejected on production costs because of the need to have hardware specified to the needs of the OS/GUI and not the small control program running in tens of KB of memory.

On first glance, Essence looks like it makes efficient use of hardware resources and, as you say, an ARM port makes sense. I can visualise an OS version of web packer type tools where you rollup your app/gui and just enough OS to run them on the target. I can say that people who I've worked for would pay good money for that sort of kit. Not suggesting closed source, but in terms of the usual caveat to management - paid support, open source longevity etc.

That doesn't surprise me. Going against cultural mores and breaking taboos has a long tradition among gnostics and explorers of our internal landscape. It's not a safe and stable life path but it can certainly be rewarding.
Yeah I was just thinking about that. Basically, using business terms, those things you mentioned should be thought of as liabilities. Maybe it's not the perfect analogy, but if everything can somewhat be captured or at least get within the right order of magnitude, I think it could maybe help guide decisions towards creating the optimal density.
Maybe the government is scared to allow powered to be turned off, fearing an uprising among the Serbs, potentially giving Serbian a reason to interven?

[0] This was an inside joke referring to the fact that RDA's character in SG-1 and following series was called Jack O'Neill while his predecessor, Kurt Russel, played Jack O'Neil in the original movie. He at least twice instructed someone to remember that his name was written "with two Ls", once adding that "The other one has no sense of humor".
