> The article you posted doesn't even say his new employers refused to hire him because of "the mob."

Sure, maybe his new employer stood up to the cancel mob. But if the cancel mob got what they wanted, then he would be "destitute and living under a park bench, a pariah shunned by society". Their goals don't stop being evil just because they failed to complete them.

> You're not exactly proving cancel culture to be the life-destroying force you made it out to be earlier.

It's not life-destroying because they "just" succeeded at getting him fired from one job, and weren't successful at getting him immediately fired from his new one?
Abuse as a child generally annihilates your understanding of safety, safe places, and safe people before you ever understand that abuse was bad. In fact, growing up not understanding that people in positions of authority (institutional or interpersonal) don’t get to just violate you is often one of the problems with people who were abused as children.

It's easier to raise taxes than build nukes.

There are no technological possibilities that are predicated on sustained increases in human economic activity and energy usage. At best they slow the pace of climate change and at worse are fools errands.
Here here! Same.
OP is doing the job assigned to them. Sure, the higher-ups might not have SAID "do the minimum required", but that's what they expressed through the corporate culture they set forth. Personally I could never work somewhere where I'm expected to effectively not work, no matter how much they pay. But people have bills, and family to support, so I can't fault someone else for taking a mind-numbing "fake work" job. They tend to pay well.
If you’re comfortable-but-barely-stable relationship wise, that extra money would cost you a whole lot more in ensuing legal fees. Not counting the emotional pain and suffering.
This has always been kind of obvious to me. If you utter a sentence that requires any amount of interpretation to understand, then more people = more possible interpretations.
For people with skin in the game (read: all of us) -- it pays to be students of history. There is a rich tapestry of prior art available for us to study that can help us define the appropriate relationship between the public, with the government as our agent, and aggregations of capital as expressed through crypto. In particular I recommend reading about the early federal efforts to safeguard the public interest from rampant capitalistic excesses in the form of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, and its immediate fruits (the Sherman Act, etc).

Those efforts were largely focused on antitrust regulation, which is a different problem than the sorts of blue-sky securities problems that are more common in today's crypto space. But the reason I'm recommending reading about the earlier antitrust stuff, as opposed to the securities regulations that began to emerge a few decades later (which is more superficially topical), is that it marked the beginning of a phase transition in how the American public viewed the relationship between government and business. I think we're in the early part of another such phase transition today. Without the antitrust regulations that preceded them, subsequent securities regulations would likely have had a much steeper hill to climb in the court of public opinion.

Obviously we aren't going to be able to just copy+paste yesterday's regulations onto every newly emerging trend. But I think we can definitely draw lessons from how earlier types of regulations emerged and the ways that the government's relationship with capital interests was adjusted over time.

There were also downsides to the new regulations (like the coopting of the definition of "trust" to include unions as a means of curtailing the power of labor). Those are valuable lessons, too.

I say this as someone who is relatively pessimistic about the value that these new crypto constructs are going to be able to provide over the long term, but I'd make the same argument to crypto optimists, as well.

Apologies to the non-US folks; other countries have their own regulatory histories, some of which were well ahead of the times compared to America. But I'm less familiar with those.
That's ridiculous, having fewer babies does nothing to help us fight climate change, and proposing that shows a horribly muddled view of the problem.

The maximum climate effect from reducing having babies would mean no children for, say, the next 20 years. What does that do to reduce emissions to negative by 2050? Nothing! The very best it could possibly do is reduce emissions a tiny bit. It does not solve the problem, and it handicaps the workforce right when we need more people producing the tech to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, in all the multitude of ways we need reconfigure our economy to be carbon negative.

Tech is the only only only way out, unless you advocating for the premature deaths of billions and a return to nomadic lifestyles. Suggesting having fewer babies as a solution is just completely unserious.

The other major fallacy is that more goods and services requires more carbon emissions. That's just BS. In general, goods require a lot more carbon at the moment, but that's absolutely not a requirement, it's only because we are pulling geological carbon out of the ground and dumping it into the atmosphere to capture stored energy. We have newer, better tech to capture energy from the sun and wind and store it, that does not require any emissions.

Meat, similarly, is a red herring for those of us in the US. It's nothing compared to out driving, nothing at all. But brining up meat sure does rile up people to think that they aren't willing to make any changes.

We have the tech, and I agree that the problems are political for their deployment, but solar wind and storage will be far more economically efficient when deployed.
IBM Watson was using Prolog when it won in a Jeopardy! game:
"We required a language in which we could conveniently express pattern matching rules over the parse trees and other annotations (such as named entity recognition results), and a technology that could execute these rules very efficiently. We found that Prolog was the ideal choice for the language due to its simplicity and expressiveness."[0]

I'm not suggesting adding more permission dialog boxes. The way I see it is more along the lines of what Google does with Android: anything that would return a unique identifier (IMEI, serial number, Android ID, MAC addresses) returns either random data or zeros. And, crucially, it needs to be such that the app can't know whether it's getting real or fake data.
Does Nomad have any support for SmartOS?
Which is the immediate solution, nuclear? Unfortunately it isn't. Solar and wind are way more immediate.

Nuclear takes bloody ages to build and is too expensive, both in building costs and in the power it delivers. It's not being built because effectively nobody wants it.

* Energy companies don't want it because it's long and tricky to make it actually happen -- if you're in the business of producing power, most anything else is an easier option.

* Financial entities don't want it because it's billions of dollars upfront that may not ever make a profit.

* Governments don't want it because it takes ages to build, so you're signing up for investing lots of tax money into something that your successor might cancel, and that they won't see the benefits of.

* Consumers don't want it because the power costs more, and if given the choice pretty much will choose to pay for something else.

At this point a single nuclear plant can take a decade to build, and if you were to try to have a huge build-up, it would take much longer. Because we're talking about a small and very specialized industry. You can't just get a nuclear reactor made down the street, and there isn't factories out there with an enormous amount of unused capacity for that because that makes no business sense.
You should probably stop watching OAN and Fox news then.

I have never seen a consumer IPv6 router without a restrictive firewall enabled by default. Could you give some examples where this is not the case?
No, they wouldn't be. I don't think you understand the full extent of subsidies that rural areas receive. Even with right to repair, and perpetual 2% inflation, the entire agricultural lifestyle in the US would crumble.

There are no production quotas in the US, except on sugar. There are limits to subsidies, however.

I know how the life of farmers goes, and not just in the US. You just have no idea what it looks like when what you're asking for happens. There is a reason that no major economy doesn't have agricultural subsidies.

If those went away, US exports of agricultural products would essentially go to zero.

But agricultural subsidies are far from the only, and perhaps not even the largest, type of subsidy that farmers receive.

Indeed, farms in the US are greatly under-taxed. Despite the median farm household income being much higher than the overall median household income, farming households on average pay around 14% in income taxes, around 4900$ in property taxes.

This is is much lower than the tax load of the average US household, and much lower still than the tax load of the average US household of the same income.

Thus, if you wanted to actually end the support that farms are getting, you would also need to raise taxes on farms significantly, and cut subsidies. Then you'd also have the fact that the average farmer requires much costlier infrastructure than the average city dweller in per-capita equivalents.

Would it really be possible for US farms to make a living if their taxes were almost doubled, if all subsidies were ended, and if prices were allowed to fluctuate? The answer is, definitely, absolutely, not at all.
I think it's possible that many feel that either option (global warming) or (nuclear meltdown) could easily doom our nation. In other words, if one solution to freezing to death would be to burn down your house, they wouldn't take it. Sure it would fix your problem for a few minutes and then you'd be dead.

Note that I'm not against nuclear, just trying to point out how those you're referring to would view the situation.
I don't know if I'd use proportion of national energy use when a reactor offers a fixed output while each nation's consumption (and area for alternative renewables) can drastically differ.

In 2019, the 93 nuclear reactors in the US produced 809.41 terawatt-hours of electricity[0]. Each reactor, as an average, produced about 8.7 terawatt-hours of electricity per year. Using a list with the power consumption per country[1], it seems like everything beneath rank roughly 100[2] would have their entire power needs met by a single reactor performing at the avg return of a US reactor (assuming peaks can be met as well).

To me, that seems promising and exciting. Smaller (by landmass) countries may not have the same ability to deploy renewables across wide swaths of land. A nuclear power plant can offset some of the necessity for land to scale energy use in a green-powered world without relying on importing energy.

I'm not sure that this is a good enough argument on its own to develop nuclear, especially given some of the lifetime costs, but I think it's a reasonable concern to want domestic power stability.

[2] Ranking is not representing total energy consumption per year, it seems, since sometimes the energy consumption goes up as rank decreases. Roughly though, everything in the bottom half of countries is within the reaches of at most 1 reactor.

How lithographs are really made.[1]

I once had a box made for a software product, back when software came in shrink wrapped boxes. The first box cost $4000. The second box cost $0.25. After I'd handed over the files to the artist who assembled the files for printing, and had approved the layouts on her screen, she said, "You want to see the press?" I said OK, and was given ear protection. We went into the press room, where a sheet-fed 7-color offset lithography press over 50 feet long was working. They were turning out fine art prints, faster than one per second. When the box business was slow, they shifted over to making art prints on thick stock.

I met someone who did that all the time. Turns out it was a learned behavior from having gotten pushed aside for coming across as too nit-picky one too many times. They turned in to the kind of person that would let other people make mistakes and just watch - and believe it or not, it worked for them! In their environment, that was a bad lesson well-learned.
Whatever they would do is irrelevant. If those things did happen, farmers would go into bankruptcy en masse and be utterly financially ruined. Whether they know this or not isn't relevant.
50/50, I wasn’t honestly sure but it was snarky.
That would work if most people had multiple ISPs, but most don't actually. Thus, you have some bargaining power, especially if you have some network advantage or feature nobody else has.

These transaction fees are determined dynamically by the Ethereum network depending on network usage, and given to Ethereum miners, not the particular dApp with which one interacts or their developers.

I don't understand why they can't compare android vs iOS. Can't people use Signal instead of iMessage? If they are criticizing iMessage then shouldn't the default messenger on android be used as a fair comparison?

My 0.2$ on this topic: prevention is nice but not good enough against a persistent or unknown threat. Mobile devices lack EDR coverage, even enterprises install an MDR and forget about it. I want every child process, network connection and interprocess call that falls out of baseline logged. Compromises happen, discovering them months later is the big issue at hand. If you're a journalist or dissident then you or your benefactors should be able to purchase a mobile endpoint security monitoring service that will actively monitor for exploitation and prevent known threats based on good intel. Crowdstrike is the only company that comes close to supporting this.
Arguing over Black formatting choices is a little ironic, isn’t it?

You'll want to surround the pasted URL with quotes, or else the question mark in all non-shortened YouTube video URLs will confuse the shell.

They didn't "learn", SpiceDAO was just a straight up scam. They raised like $8m dollars, spent $3m on a book, (100x expected auction value) and then decided to pay themselves $30k a month from the remaining proceeds and presumably just collect interest on the rest. It's been HUGELY profitable for the people who set it up. Ahem, the "core team".
I don't love how Black doesn't let you put some clarificatory parentheses -- for instance, they get wiped from

Power loss shouldn't matter.

Its a chicken and egg problem. It would be trivial in 2022 at a technical level for my electric clothes dryer to "pause" for five minutes mid cycle if a cloud passes over the solar farm. Nobody implements that because its not needed. It can't be implemented because nobody uses it now. We can't have it in the future because we didn't have it in the past. If solar power was "too cheap to meter" I'd use 10 KW to dry my clothes in 30 minutes instead of 60 and I wouldn't care if a cloud interrupted the solar panel and it took an extra five minutes at 35 minutes. But we can't have that because we never had that in the past so we'll never have that. We'll have uninterrupted electric clothes drying until we have no electric clothes drying at all due to catastrophic system collapse.

Nobody insulated aluminum refinery crucibles, in fact they worry about cooling. Because nobody ever considered cutting power to a crucible, its now impossible to cut power to a crucible without destroying it.

Nobody ever built a battery backed up CNC machine tool, because nobody ever needed to, so flipping the circuit breaker at a machine tool shop will cause thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. It would be trivial to include circuitry and CAM design models to prevent that but the first guy to spend the money will go out of business because it provides no advantage next quarter. Therefore its impossible to interrupt power to a CNC machine tool without mass destruction therefore solar powered factories are "impossible". Although if someone wanted to, it would be pretty trivial to implement.

The load on the grid at midnight for charging cell phones must add up to a nuclear power plant or two. We can't tell those chargers to chill and charge up later if there's a lull in the breeze and advertisers market how fast they charge. So we can't charge phones, or cars, with wind power we must use coal or nuclear. There's no technological reason interrupting the power would matter.

This even gets to house or hospital issues. Don't want to lose power during a surgery? Who cares, just make sure the UPS is bigger than the surgery. The batteries should last a long time if they're rarely used. Ditto my TV, I don't care if it runs off battery for five minutes as long as I can't tell the difference. But no TVs can do that right now so they MUST be coal or nuclear powered instead of wind powered.

Repeat thousands of times for every device that makes power interruption "impossible". If everything you owned was like your laptop and as long as on average the charge rate was higher than the use rate and the battery was "big enough" then you wouldn't care if the power was out 50% of the time, as long as it was 100% green and "too cheap to meter" the other 50% of the time.

Because I feel no need to bring nonsense labels and politics into an environment that should be a straight up meritocracy.

This is more often than not just an excuse for someone to prove “what a great guy” he is. Nothing more.

There is almost no value to the discussion except for self satisfaction gained by the “white knights”/“white saviors”.

I expect people to go to work to work, not to try to gain cool points for being so woke.

Things are different for executives at large companies making 7+ figures. It's not about punching a clock and clearly delineated time at that point, it's about effectiveness. If you only need 20 hours a week to keep things running smoothly that's fine, but you also need to be available for a crisis 24/7. It's also a reasonable expectation that 100% of your "work energy" go to the company. Obviously if you are perceived as good enough you can call your own shot (eg. Jack Dorsey), but this is the exception not the rule.

That said, personal time for hobbies, even if "business-like" on some dimensions (eg. building an app, selling stuff on Etsy, etc) are probably fine as long as it is recharging your batteries and does not have any real or perceived conflict of interest with your primary company.
This has a few issues, I think. For example, using bestvideo prevents you from downloading formats that contain both video and audio, it only downloads video-only formats.

This will potentially download much higher than 720, if 720 is not available. Probably better to go lower for OP's usecase.
