I've considered switching to Migadu in the past, but an outgoing limit of 20/day on the "micro" plan seems weirdly low, especially considering they're advertising it as being for families. It would just take e.g. one family member sending holiday greetings to a few friends to use up everyone's budget for the day. Having your outgoing emails randomly delayed for 24 hours just doesn't feel right for me.

The next higher plan would already have me pay almost five times as much and apart from the higher limits just enables business features that are unnecessary for families.

True, but it's a compromise most of us are forced to make. The vast majority of people know that a custom domain name makes their email more professional, but wouldn't have the faintest idea of how to even begin to manage one if it weren't for services like this one. (Or, at the very least, wouldn't have known how to do it in 2007-2010 which this service was marketed as "free forever.") These cloud services are basically just "linux admin done for you" since most of us don’t have the expertise.
I say that doesn't go far enough. I think it's more compelling to go to a 24-hour work week.

Bucky Fuller calculated that we would have the technology and automation to retire after a career of only two years or so, having paid for the expenses of the rest of our lives in that brief period, and that this level of tech would be reached by some tine in the 1970's.
The tech arrived right on time, but the awareness of the possibility of a new kind of lifestyle and civilization has not grown with it.

Sometimes people think they want things a certain way because

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_public... Top 3 US, as you said, but nowhere near top 3 in the world, as you also said. Also, enrollment sure isn’t everything. Speaking as someone who used to live near Orlando, UCF is #2 on that list and I had consistent bad luck hiring computer science grads from there. And 3 of the top 5 are in Florida (it’s been like that since 2015) and I don’t see tech employers scrambling to move to Florida en masse. The focus and quality of the institution definitely matters.

On my current team we work on a cashiering desktop app, that needs to interact with local devices for processing checks and credit cards. Although almost everything reaches out to an API at some point, I'd generally say desktop apps are still relevant in cases like this.
So open firmware from the manufacturer is fine, but if you were to modify it and re-flash it yourself you would be breaking the law?

Many states require an annual vehicle safety inspection, often accompanied by an emissions test.

In Pennsylvania, I have to have my car tested each year. They make sure that tire tread depth, remaining brake pads, exterior lamps, and windshield wipers are all functional / within tolerance. There's other stuff that you can be failed for, such as excessive rust, etc.

That's one other thing to know about Ohio. Your car will rust. It's a cancer that will slowly eat your car, even if you do an undercarriage wash.

"lay" as in "layman" or "lay preacher" does have the derivation you give.

As a verb, "lay it down" has Germanic roots, e.g. "liegen". The Greek cognate seems to be "lexos", "bed". (All this from Skeat's etymological dictionary.)
It's good that there are businesses like this testing the legality of scraping. The notion that scraping should be illegal is absurd IMO.
Correct, you also need to lower Omega 6 fats dramatically, and probably focus on long chain Omega 3.

> while it can lead to more robust synthesis of endocannabinoids, really has nothing to do with the study at hand. Generally we use drugs because they have different or greater degrees of their mechanism than the endogenous compounds.

You can either excite these receptors or not. Exciting the receptor more than needed, which is what these overly high levels of exogenous cannabinols do, leads to degraded receptor sensitivity (dependance) and probably a rebound effect when the drug is stopped. It is not that I feel the drugs do not work, but they are not needed and are lacking the sensitivity.

> Not to mention we don't know if endocannabinoids such as anandamide or 2-AG even have the same effect as high doses of CBD shown in this study. Also the concentrations of the endogenous molecules are likely nowhere near high enough

The arachidonic acid (Omega 6) derivatives (anandamide) are known to not be as anti-inflammatory and is more in line with THC, not CDB, in its action. Which is my point of having to get the 3/6 ratio much higher, and has nothing to do with this study other than showing that we need LESS anandamide and more docosahexaenoyl and eicosapentaenoyl ethanolamides.

If someone has enough omega 3 endocannabinoids it is likely that they would not need the heavy hammer of CBD to get them out of the inflammation. I am not saying CBD does not work, but endocannabinoids are more than just one molecule, and CBD cannot compare.

For a overall robust immune system we should be studying Omega 3's/Omega 6 balance more deeply.

> There's many industries and positions where a 4-day work week doesn't fit.

I fail to see what industries or positions those could be. Heck, 168 hours in a week is 4 FTE and an extra hour shift. At 4 days a week its 5 FTE and an extra shift. The math works great for things that need to be manned 24/7 (in either case, you need an additional floater for the extra shift of to give people some paid OT.)

I mean that at an API level, you can't manually select what you want to capture whether that be a particular screen or a single window. You have to send a dbus message to the DE which will then pop up its own UI to select the thing you're going to share.

So lets say you have some cross-platform UI code for screensharing with an OS abstraction layer that has functions to get a list of potential sources (perhaps with previews) and another that starts screensharing with a particular source. That particular design works fine on Mac and Windows (except in the UWP ecosystem, but no one cares about that) and also with X11, but not with Wayland. So now it's not just about having another implementation of your OS abstraction layer for a new capture API, it's also about mucking around with the UI flow. In the grand scheme of things, this is not a huge deal, but it makes supporting the API kind of a PITA.
I dunno, tons of people I know in the US have electric kettles. Its not like its incredibly painful to use them, and they'll still usually beat out using the microwave to heat water quickly, but only slightly. While it is about half as much power than most of Europe, its still only a few minutes to go from tap water to boiling. It is not like we're talking hours to get it to boil.

From my experience one of the biggest reasons why people don't have an electric kettle is because they often don't think they have a use for them. Tons of people in the US would really only use it for making coffee, of which drip coffee makers were incredibly popular for a long time. So needing fast hot water is somewhat rare, and usually when its needed in regards to cooking you can just measure your water in a measuring cup and microwave it for a couple of minutes which is just about as fast.

The people I know who actually use electric kettles in the US are:

* Those who brew a lot of tea (far less common in US than globally)

* Those who often do alternative coffee brewing methods (pour over, french press, aeropress, etc)

* Those who make a lot of ramen or other instant noodles and have limited kitchen spaces (college students)

Similar issue at our version of the DMV, the Traffic Department.

Had to provide proof of address and the only thing I had was the rental agreement with my landlord. But the copy I had was signed by me, but not countersigned by my landlord.

The clerk didn't want to accept it. I told him I could just walk out and fake a signature. He said that's OK and that he isn't a policeman. So I countersigned it in front of him. He paused and then accepted it.

> People claim that exploiting UB gives 1-2% speedup and that that's important. What they conveniently leave out is that you only get that speedup when your code has UB, which means that you only get that speedup when your code has a bug in it.

Assuming there is no UB and optimizing under that assumption gives a speedup. You get the speedup whether that assumption is wrong or not. If that assumption is wrong, your program might also blow up in hilarious ways. But in no way does making the assumption that your code has no undefined behavior rely on your code having undefined behavior.
It’s not the same. Your analogy contains a secondary effect. While the 4-day work week example ends up being a primary “please don’t negotiate a pay cut on my behalf” effect. Also the upside in the 4-day workweek case isn’t nearly as big, not even close.

With flags you also have the issue of how to represent politically disputed regions e.g. Taiwan even when the languages used locally are pretty clear-cut.

In the specific case of Taiwan, if you want to maintain good business relations with normal civilians on both sides of the straits you need to represent Taiwan as a state to Mainland China IPs and represent it as a country to Taiwanese IPs and most of the rest of the world.

I'm not advocating any particular political view, this is just the technological fuss you have to go through to maximize the number of happy customers. So sometimes it's much easier to just forget the flags, state the language and currency directly as text, and skirt around these issues.

As for language selection, I really don't think it's necessary to beautify it UI-wise. Pick based on the user's Accept-Language header and 99.99% of the time you'll present it exactly as the user wanted without them having to select anything. You can then implement a text-only language selector somewhere in a less conspicuous place, such as the footer, than polluting your navigation header.
JS introduced promises to the world around 2005 (they were in an unused experimental language a few years before).

async/await is mostly specialized syntax over generators. I'd note that ES4 had generators in the early 2000s

F# introduced async/await in 2007.

C# was mostly copying F# (like it's done for almost every new feature in the past decade or so).

Haskell libraries added support around the same time as C# (likely inspired by F#)

JS had the feature for several years via transpilers before it was finally added officially.
The entire point of string theory not being testable is not specific to string theory but rather to quantum gravity. Any theory of quantum gravity will only deviate from our current understanding (general relativity) at the Planck Scale. So, if one has an issue with string theory not being testable, one actually has an issue with pursuing any version of quantum gravity.

The interesting thing about string theory that sets it apart from all other theories of quantum gravity is that it's actually not just a theory of gravity. Because of this, there is actually hope that string theory could produce nontrivial testable predictions at energy scales much lower than the Planck Scale. However, it turns out that teasing out these predictions is very nontrivial, primarily because of a structure called the string landscape. Basically it turns out that the equations of string theory, while being tidy at high energy, produce a multitude of solutions at low energy and, unless you know which solution to look at, making definitive predictions is hard.

Normally the way around a situation like that is to make some observations and try to constrain which solution we should look at. Unfortunately our current best understanding of the landscape is only one-way; we can't currently constrain which solution to look at based on observational evidence. It's sort of like a one-way hash. If we can invert this 'hash function', we could in principle make measurements to constrain which solution we're in and at that point string theory would be falsifiable.
Do you think low skilled fraud doesn't have access to a printer? If it cannot be implemented properly, then it shouldn't be done at all. It doesn't matter what good intent it may have had, in effect it is a suppression of individual rights. This entire process would be grounds for a civil war in the 1800's. Yet today we think being a citizen isn't enough to have rights. You have to be apart of a socioeconomics nomic class of people to have those rights.

The DMV complies with whatever regulations are imposed on them. Those rules are created by legislators whom are entirely disconnected from their constituents and are paid for their votes.

If you go to my local library and tell them you want a library card, but you don't have any ID, they ask you to give them your address. They send you a postcard, and when you bring it in, they'll give you a library card. No QR code necessary.

The USPS could function quite successfully as an ID system and a bank, were they allowed.

And yet WASM still has warts that make it impossible to simply transpile existing binary code onto it.

I worked at a popular pizza chain for high school and got maybe $10 in tips my entire time there. My pregnant coworker meanwhile averaged an extra $50 or more a night. Given that I was paid minimum wage at the time ($4.25 IIRC), that extra $50 in tips was a significant boost to her income.

Now on one hand I think it's fair that a pregnant woman needs more money than a high school kid who's saving up for extra toys (a DSLR in my case), so I'm not complaining about my pay. But then again literally no customer actually knew that; for all they knew I was supporting my poor family with extra income. The arbitrariness is troubling. If tips are a significant chunk of your pay, then you're dependent on either customers feeling bad for you, or generally liking you in order to make a good wage. And heaven help you if you're in a demographic group that's disliked for whatever reason.
Wow, cool! The model is specified as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem for which a solution is found using high-quality proprietary numerical solvers.[a] All partial differential equations specifying the model have a basis in economic theory or in heuristics and approximations shown to be consistent with reality. Parameters come directly from (what I assume is a large amount of) economic data collected by the Danish government.

The authors working for the Danish government deserve an A+ for making their code and assumptions public, along with comprehensive high-quality documentation.[b] It was a delightful surprise to click on the link and find... a carefully curated repo.

I have only one nitpicking: This looks like the kind of project that should have been -- and in fact probably should be -- implemented in Julia, instead of in a proprietary language. I suspect many heuristics and approximations could be more accurately modeled by ML components, interspersed between equations, as has long been proposed by Julia folks like Chris Rackauckas.

This view is both boorish and ignorant. There are many types of coronaviruses, including MERS and SARS. They can't be mitigated through "diet and exercise". These diseases often occur in parts of the world with much lower obesity rates than the West

Further, the idea that you won't get a serious respiratory virus if you just exercise and diet is offensive. You're just trying to reduce something that is incredibly complex into a bumper sticker slogan that you can wrap your mind around with the least amount of effort.

Teams is terrible on Linux for me, but which thing is broken changes from version to version.

A few examples:

- My USB headset only works for the first call. Restarting teams let's me use it for one more call

- joining a meeting from the calendar spins forever. Doing it from the chat list works fine

- incoming calls don't ring my Linux teams, but ring everywhere else

- the settings for setting which device to use rarely have any effect; I can use any pulse mixer to switch though
> All real decision making has been taken away from the people who actually interact with the public. Executives and managers who have the power to change things (like increase wages to bring more employees in) are insulated from the public.

Had to scroll down a bit, because I knew this comment had to exist, but wholeheartedly agreed.

Managers in customer-facing jobs don't (and can't!) manage customers anymore. They manage employees.

Used to be, the manager was the one who would come out and say "Sir or madam, I have to ask that you hold your tone and speak more respectfully to our employees." And if the customer persisted, ban them from the business.

That authority has been stripped from them, because it's complicated, requires capable and trained managers, and gets in the way of copying and pasting a franchise.

Instead, corporate policy has been to raise the brand above its employees. If that burns out folks working there, they can be replaced.
The obsession with "intention" as opposed to "outcome" in legal judgments continues to mystify and mortify me.

One could imagine a societal model where the number of children is restricted instead of access to life prolonging technology. So to target a stable population, you'd allow people to have only as many children as people have died in the last couple of years.

It's doable, we already had societies that deployed such restrictions on a scale similar to the global human population. Whether it should be done is another question, as many people criticize the issue of the state policing procreation.
