Here in the bay area, I only know 1-2 areas that are like that, and even then you'll only see teenagers. Might end up moving if one is local! I'm in the lower peninsula area.
De-debunk: https://old.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/rppkb5/very_well_...

You just described all of CommonSenseSkeptic's 'debunking' content (along with his predecessor Thunderfoot, who should've stuck with creationists and Kickscammers).

Lately I find the word "debunking"/"debunked" in a title is a high-reliability signal of low-quality content.
People would have a harder time pushing off climate problems because they themselves have to face the consequences, not their children.

I think a society that lives hundreds of years will have better future foresight. Similar to how when you get older 5 or 10 years doesn't seem nearly as long and you make many more decisions at these scales regularly.
Who is "We" and how do they coordinate this? Poverty traps are emergent phenomena, not a conspiracy (Usually. Occasionally governments intentionally wage "war" on a group of people, but this is not the typical case.).
Inside R&D organizations there are plenty of groups building desktop apps for internal use. We have a ton of Forms, WPF and some Qt apps we use for R&D and manufacturing purposes. Also lots of services and other non-GUI stuff.

For side-business it'll be a lot tougher than it was when I started 30 years ago.

This is just incorrect. TeX is typesetting software so it's extremely versatile and allows you to do a wide range of things that are not possible with WYSIWYG editors and Markdown.

Not really. I remember it being a pretty huge deal and everyone talking about how it could have been so much worse.

I'm afraid you have absolutely no idea about what you are talking about, especially for the people in Argentina. Read about the Blue Dollar.
This is an example of resulting, where you look at the outcome and not a process. I personally believe it’s an ineffective way to understand the reality of a situation, but each to their own.
What it should offer is two separate options: One for the store location, one for the language. This becomes especially important in Europe because you have so many people who live in a country where they don't speak the associated language natively.

This is such a basic UX rule that I'm a bit surprised to see them fumble on it...
>Why?

His comment included the fact the he took out loans with a "personal guarantee".

When you're a small business starting out with no assets (like factories, equipment, etc) -- which means no collateral, or no business revenue... the banks won't provide so-called "business loans" unless there's a personal guarantee.

Therefore, if the business fails and the company is shut down, the founder is still financially on the hook to pay back the loans. (Barring drastic options like filing personal bankruptcy.)
Electric kettles are finally starting to get traction here, we use ours for tea and instant coffee, and pre-boiling water for making noodles on the stove since it's so much more efficient.
> The fact that humanity got to a point where it made more "sense" to shoot dozens of rockets and deploy hundreds of satellites into space instead of running cables to cell towers to cover large areas is sad.

1. I think you are grossly underestimating just how many cables and cell towers would be needed to cover just rural North America alone (nevermind less developed places like Africa).

2. LEO satellite internet benefits more than just terrestrial clients. Ships and airplanes can now have more reliable communications.
Is a hundred dollar bill just a piece of paper?
I would say that a solution to that would be more volunteerism. Perhaps even drawing some inspiration from the 2nd amendment. "A well organized militia being necessary..." ... Actually, you know go a step beyond registration and have more coordinated training, including field medics.

If 1 in 10 people have a minimal level of field medic training, that would cover a LOT of slack in terms of something like a national or global pandemic. It doesn't have to be regular doctors, or even RNs that take up the slack. The bulk of the work is cleaning, monitoring and keeping things relatively calm and structured. Triage is meant to sort based on urgency of need... You don't need the most trained people to give attention, and keep things relatively calm.

Of course, the reasonableness of training 1:10th of the population in this way for an event that may occur once a century and is largely unavoidable is also up for debate.
you're completely right actually, he came to me cause i've have a few successful saas biz and i accepted since i really enjoy the project and i truly believe can be something great. However you're right, is just a simple project and we are both successful marketers however he thinks more in the short term (need to see positive ROI day one) and im trying to think more of a long-term.

Still, yes, the idea is to follow and not skip the traction step, maybe im wrong on thinking ahead, is just that every time he says "no way we aint gonna get investors i will sell my house if need it to" makes me think we might face some issues scaling this later on.

> UB problems happen only when compilers detect it, understand it is an opportunity for optimization, because they are allowed to do anything, then do that optimization.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the comment, but I took "detect it, understand it is an opportunity for optimization, because they are allowed to do anything, ..." to mean "detect that undefined behavior occurs and then ..."

Instead, it should be "detect that an optimization can be applied and that the optimized code will do the right thing in all cases that undefined behavior does not occur, and apply the optimization."

I've met programmers who seem to believe that compilers intentionally apply weird transformations when they detect undefined behavior. But really, the compilers are applying sensible transformations for well-defined code and ignoring whether those transformations are sensible for code that isn't well-defined.
I agree with both of you. Twitter is so good, and so bad in so may ways.

I'm probably drawing early conclusions, but it's not a surprise hearing an engineering head or ex-CTO type eliminate security given security is often seen as a roadblock, even in Twitter's case where their leadership and team often worked to make it a business enablement function.
I've got a VPS with Nextcloud and Photoprism running in a Docker container. If you're savy enough to set it up, including backups, it's a pretty solid option. Haven't needed to spend much time on maintenance since I originally set it up.

If you're looking for an option that's free as in beer, I've got no recommendations for you.

Yeah this is my take too. Version N+1 of satellite internet breaks Version N of asteroid detection. The answer is clearly to build Version N+1 of the detection system using SpaceX to launch cheap satellites.

There was some discussion (Ars Technica maybe?) about why the Webb telescope took so long and was so expensive -- basically because heavy launch is (was?) so expensive, they needed to contort to fit everything in one payload (telescoping heat shield etc). But if you could do 10 launches for the same cost, you could iterate on the satellite much more easily, and the total cost to build it would be much less. (Waterfall vs. agile, to analogize with software development.)
I've never seen it below the standard tip percentage. I've frequently seen it above the standard tip percentage.
You can try the free workouts and then pay for the ones you're interested in. It's $5/month. We've found this works well and lets us get everyone some routines at least.
I'm not arguing for or against allowing special orders. But that's on the manager, not the customer.

The server having an issue with it (when the manager doesn't) is a problem, and blaming customers for making requests is a problem, especially if policy is to allow them.
Considering the general trajectory of the world, its surprising people want to stay in it longer, but I guess I too have a portion of morbid curiosity to see just how much we keep screwing everything up. To actually witness cities becoming submerged.

Also, if I didn't have to slave away most of my life to survive, if I could live the life I want, I could probably have a full life by 60, with maybe only a few books still left to read. That would be sufficient and good, very few complaints. But with this stuff.. If I gained another 50 expected years, its just that much more work and sacrifice I gotta do to have a chance of retiring!
Then what makes it a service? It would be unwieldy to bring in consultants... unless they can take over for the extant fab techs as soon as they arrive. Any downtime in the fab is millions lost.

No, this is just Israel finding a way to avoid criticism. Any time someone tries to criticize Israel, they just get labelled an anti-Semite by Israel supporters. It's a way to shutdown any criticism of Israel. It's extremely disingenuous.

There's other part of this article that are also disingenuous - "It equated the policies of Israel, of which I am a citizen and where I still have family, with apartheid." It's disingenuous to claim Israel's policies aren't apartheid when they literally say things like, "The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people".

The Sega Mega drive was a very robust machine and it did survive numerous short-circuits over the years and even today it still works!. but yes, I have blown numerous PC-motherboards over the years though... I guess that comes with the trade! One time I damaged my motherboard that was powered-off by using the vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dusts from one of the fans. The spinning of the fan resulted in a power-surge that damaged my motherboard :-(
I personally use a bean bag. I put it 2 minutes in the microwave. Seems simpler than heating water.
Competition works, at least to some extent. The median open source project is worthless, but the ones people choose to use are pretty good. There is usually no competition within the company.

The sunk cost fallacy also tends to kick in. If the company spent $2 million on a project, it must be worthwhile. Admitting the money was at least partially wasted is hard to swallow.

I’m genuinely curious - what makes you think the typical politician is whoring themselves out and should not be evaluated as if acting in good faith?

I totally agree for the politicians who we frequently see in the media, like Ted Cruz. But that’s such a small, non-random selection that I hesitate to generalize.

What makes you feel comfortable in making such a generalization?
An odd bias? Ok, let reality be the ultimate judge, and ask yourself:

- What's the total valuation today of companies dealing with Laserdisk?

- What's the total valuation today of companies dealing with crypto?

You'll have your answer about who may have a bias there.

As far as we can tell from aggregate statistics, consumer devices have been leading IPv6 adoption, not lagging it.

Charts of IPv6 usage such as Google's tend to still show a strong "bathtub curve" with a very noticeable decline during 9-5 work hours making a pretty clear case that corporate/enterprise devices are the ones (greatly) lagging behind.

Consumer devices most directly feel the effects of NAT/CGNAT and feel much more pressured to route around that IPv4 "damage" with IPv6. Some consumer networks, especially mobile carriers in every part of the world, have moved to IPv6-predominant (if not "IPv6-only"; depending on how you feel about IPv6 to IPv4 gateways). The "Happy Eyeballs" algorithm has been in play on most Consumer OSes for several years now and consumer devices generally strongly prefer IPv6 services over IPv4 when given a dual-stack choice.

As has come up in this thread already, any discussion of typed config languages nowadays that doesn't mention Cue (https://cuelang.org/) seems incomplete. They really seem to be tackling the problem in a thorough way. I hope it catches on.

For anyone who knows more about Cue: right now you can go from Cue<->yaml (in fact, their docs on yaml also use the "no" case as an example: https://cuelang.org/docs/integrations/yaml/) to integrate with existing systems, but I suppose eventually the goal would be to have direct support in libraries like Serde?

Israel is an apartheid state though there a large component of its population does not have rights that the other does. And it has stayed like this for many decades.

Denouncing human rights violations is not anti-semitic.
I'll take this opportunity and also point out a pet peeve of mine with this spec in section 7:

The Luhn algorithm used as a check digit is suboptimal; better options with greater detection rates of various kinds of human input errors exist, see e.g. https://www.uni-due.de/imperia/md/content/dc/yanling_2015_ch..., p. 12 also showing some other options. See also http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/rhschulz/Literatur/checkdigits_l... for further reading on check digits.
That's false. Many other countries have implemented simpler, more accurate, and less discriminatory systems.

I agree many movies are offensive to one group or another, but maybe that means we should be more careful of offending people instead of less. Other common bad-guy groups like Muslims and Russians probably don't like being used as villains in movies; their voices just go unheard because they don't have the economic clout that the Chinese do.

And every group of "bad guys" is a little different. The enemy governments of Nazis, Japanese, Soviets, and British Imperialists are gone, those conflicts are over, and those countries are now American allies; the mafia and cartel movies tend to glorify those lifestyles; the European bad guys never faced as much racism in the USA as the Asian ones; etc.

I don't want to be the fun police... But the USA (unlike most countries) advertised itself as a multiracial immigrant country in the past 50 years, and a lot of multiracial immigrants signed on, so I guess we should be tasteful when making movies about shooting their relatives.
Hi :) I've been a long time user of Battery Bar Pro. Thank you! Its one of the first apps that I install on my new computers. What would be the best way to do a feature request/bug report?
Can confirm this to be true. I was lucky enough to sell my tech startup a few years ago and become a multi-millionaire overnight. I did the usual newly-rich stuff like buy a sports car, take vacations, go to the beach a bunch, etc. It became boring, and I started sliding into bad behaviors such as drinking most days. I knew I had to change it up for my own health and sanity, so I started another company. This has given me something to do with my day and I'm much happier and healthier for it.
Yes, but now you are losing a lot of the clean syntax that causes most people to use YAML in the first place. There is a reason that most people don't write YAML like JSON with trailing commas and comments, it is nice to cut most of this noise.
Tips for Onboarding onto an Existing Codebase
It isn't up to skeptics and critics to prove "blockchain technology" doesn't have any real value (or that it's not particularly innovative). It's up to the blockchain proponents or "community" to deliver value. Just calling something revolutionary and useful doesn't make it so. More than a decade after "blockchain" became a thing we have yet to see any value other than crypto, and the value from crypto is mainly in illegal financial transactions and fraud.

If distributed, decentralized, append-only databases have wider applications (outside of crypto), what are those applications? When will we see the disruption?

David Gerard showed that blockchain is wearing no clothes in Attack of the 50-foot Blockchain and nothing has happened since he published that book to make me think he was wrong.

Without any police how would you suggest people in a city deal with a murder? Who would investigate it? Who would arrest the person responsible? Who would enforce contracts? What would stop anyone from taking anything they could take by force? Not wanting police publicly funded (“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” style) is absurd enough, but to think that policing as a whole doesn't need to exist at all is a new take I hadn't seen before. What's the alternative?

I don't think that the main problem is the regulation. The regulations are a side effect of how difficult and harmful these experiments could to humans. In the software business when a project fails we can just used a starting point for the next iteration. In life sciences they don't have that luxury. There is no way to test something quickly (in seconds and minutes).

May be one day we'll have a complete model of the human body and medicine and drugs can be tested through a software.
Then you rent a $500/mo bedroom somewhere, sleep in it once so it's not fraud to call it your residence, and have the roommates put the utilities in your name.

This summer I experimented with a waterbottle hack (if you will).

Where I live winters are usually somewhat cold, but houses are more or less well insulated and heating is widely available. However, summers have become quite warm nowadays and there are very strict rules around installing AC.

Thus, I was thinking if a water bottle can keep me warm, perhaps it could also cool me down?

So what I do is put a handful of ice cubes into water and then fill that into my water bottle. Although last summer was not the best for a test it worked quite well. I got through a full workday (~30°) with 2 bottles.

I'm aware that using my fridge does contribute to some degree to the heat in the apartment. But given the little amount of ice needed I'm pretty sure its negligible and certainly more efficient than AC. I also want to note that it is way more comfortable (at least to me) than having these humidified ventilators that are quite popular nowadays.

And Zoom?

Randomly decided to not deliver audio, at all. No way to fix it, no reconfiguration of inputs, while others did work at the same time, so probably not a browser bug either.

It is a popular myth that the world is getting worse. But by almost every measure of human wellbeing, things are getting better. Yes, climate change is a real problem, but it doesn't mean the end of human wellbeing. Even if we don't manage to slow/reverse climate change with innovation (I believe we will), we will manage to adapt. Climate related deaths continue to decline, despite real climate problems. Despair is not the only option.
collisions can easily push things into higher orbits.
Sure, it's fine to discuss that in a substantive way.
You can do that with an enum!

enum Size {
small = 'small',
medium = 'medium',
large = 'large',
}

type ButtonProps = { size: Size.small | Size.medium }

And it’s still a nominal type in the union.

Regarding likelihood of collision, it’s easy for me to imagine mixing up 'post' in an API call to a vendor for fence materials lol. In any case I find the added safety comforting, particularly over a language where interfaces tend to be exceedingly dynamic and flexible.
