I moved to Protonmail from Gmail in 2019 because GSuite was becoming increasingly annoying to use for multiple domains and what not. I just want my own domains and emails and GSuite’s GUI and layout for that was ticking me off — plus I was looking at ungoogling.

I then moved from Protonmail to Migadu in 2021 because Migadu prices per email volume not domain (which 99% of companies price by) and I frequently set up mini projects with their own hello@email.domain. Migadu lets me do that.. for free! I only pay for the sum total email volume that is used (or not!).

Also I had problems with Protonmail’s bridge on Linux at the time that I nor others via IRC could figure out. I was using Arch (btw) and it worked fine on Ubuntu but I didn’t want to use Ubuntu.
> Small amount?

Yes. There is a small amount of these people in the Western world. I would estimate it as less than 1% of the total population.

The state and the media want you to believe they are just waiting to crawl out of every crevice and take over the world again to justify taking your rights away.

> He is still admired worldwide. Just not so much openly in most places. Just look, how many Hitler documentaries are still made and that you can still buy Mein Kampf worldwide.

In the Islamic world maybe. Not in the Western world. You are delusion if you think that lots of people genuinely admire Hitler in the Western world.

Reading a book doesn't mean you support it. I have books from all sorts of people that were / are awful and it doesn't mean I believe it. I have a copy of Mein Kampf, I am not a nazi though (though I am sure some people would like to smear me as one).

Lots of people watch Hitler and WWII documentaries because quite frankly they are easy to make (lot of archive footage) and it was the first mechanised large war that encompassed the globe and Historically it had many iconic people involved in position of political and military power.

> In either case, communist organisations do regulary face prosecution in the west, as well as islamist groups.

Good. They are both evil. Many people have died because of both groups.

> But - the difference between communist and nazi ideology is, that communist want a better world for everyone. Nazis only for a certain race, while enslaving the "lower" races. This might be a reason, why che is more accepted (despite being a sociopath on closer look) and hitler is not.

This myth needs to die. Communists do not want a better world for everyone. Many of the communists that aren't students are the ones wishing they were the ones in power. All communism is, is theft justified by the thief.

Communism violates private property rights (which almost all other rights are obtained) and once they are eroded individual rights are next. They have no good intentions. In fact I think the Nazis were better, they are at least honest about their intentions.

> And I do not really feel like fighting for nazi freedom, despite being more tolerant in theory.

I would not expect you to. I would expect someone to fight for theirs. By protecting everyone's individual rights, you protect your own and other marginalised groups and unfortunately that includes odious people like Neo-nazis.
I do feel OO is the default for almost all companies and that requires a lot of debate to start to change so you can use other tools though. I remember working for a C# shop where I had to do some pretty simple data ingestion and cleaning from the NHS API that would have been fantastic in F# with it’s composition patterns, pattern matching, and type system. However because it wasn’t OO I couldn’t get support and so I had to write a lot of factories instead.

> More money inflates the supply of money. This is why cryptocurrencies that burn crypto are considered deflationary.

Crypto isn't in a vaccuum. If the only currency in the world was bitcoin, sure, call it deflationary.

But compared to a decade ago, there are far more dollars floating around thanks to crypto. Not only are there are the rich people holding dollars and other currency, or gold, etc, but we've invented a bunch of crypto tokens that we also value massively, so you can be bitcoin-rich or ethereum-rich or nft-rich OR currency-rich... which is no different than printing currency out of thin air.

This is really tangential, but "up" and "down" are completely meaningless without gravity. Literally, without gravity, "up" doesn't exist. "Up" is literally just "away from the primary gravitational pull".

People on either pole looking away from the planet are both looking up. That's what "up" is. It's funny to realize that two people can look "up" in opposite directions, but that's what's going on. Neither of them is looking "down", even though each one is looking in the direction of the other person's down.
$50-ish — but that's not the point. I value my belongings because I spend great deal of time researching and finding products that I love using day in day out (unlike most people who constantly curse at stuff they have). I also modify things I buy to fine tune it to my needs. So even a $50 umbrella is more like $1000 in terms of time I've spent on it and I have no intention of doing it again. This particular umbrella was purchased 20 years ago in Spain.
> We are one asteroid strike away from losing all human life on earth.

We're one asteroid strike from losing all human life in the solar system even if you had a bunch of people living on Mars. It would take a very long time to get even a single Mars colony self sufficient. Without resources of Earth supporting the colony it would die out the first time the air conditioner broke.

Putting people on Mars isn't putting our eggs in a second basket. It's putting an egg in a wet napkin on a mouse trap positioned under a precariously balanced boulder.

I built a python library warhammer-stats for the Warhammer 40k tabletop game because all the other tools sucked. It is still the only 40k stats tool that can deterministically calculate the entire probability mass function for attack damage.

I then wrote an iOS app, Stats Hammer, because I wanted to use it on my phone and wanted to learn some swift.

Both are free for anybody to use and it warms my heart to see people using them, but I don't really care if either succeeds because I got what I wanted out of them
Yeah, because it isn't needed any more.
1987, the biggest camera in advertisements was the Canon AE-1, it's all I wanted for Christmas. My dad had been shooting a Minolta as far back as he could remember, and he got me a Minolta X-370 instead. At the time I was annoyed, but at least I had a camera.

It's wasn't till later that I realized my dad was absolutely right with this camera. It was more advanced than the AE-1 and I still have it and it still works perfectly. BUT, I found out about the X-700 and picken one up cheap on eBay, it has better flash control than the X-370 and a Program mode which is more advanced than the offerings on the X-370. I now own 2. I occasionally look out for an X-500/570 as what I've read say this is an even better camera, making it the best camera Minolta made prior to switching production to Auto-Focus

You might say "threat of inflation" because we imagine (reasonably) that the effect of sidelined money moving could lead to a pattern of inflation (given all the complex ways that might incentivize people to choose to raise prices). Good economists (not sure what portion of economists qualify in this case) would be fine with that framing.
Strike price is much lower, so it's cheaper to exercise and potentially more tax-favorable due to QSBS too
Planning for mars is making the moon shot significantly better. Starship can basically replace the whole complicated and expensive orbiter lander situation with a fast, cheap, reusable craft with a fantastic payload capacity. That craft is being designed and built with Mars in mind. It’s also going to be fantastically useful for other things.

> Base knowledge has to come from somewhere, so where it would have been an encyclopedia fifteen years ago it is wikipedia now.

That agrees with the parent and GP comments: The assertion was that people rarely evaluate credibility, and the common citation of Wikipedia is given as an example. So we all agree that Wikipedia is commonly used.

If you mean that Wikipedia is inevitably used, that seems hard to suppot. There are an incredible number of sources available, and there's no reason Wikipedia had to be popular now. If people cared more about accuracy, a source with more focus on it would be more popular. I never use Wikipedia beyond checking the schedule for sporting events.

> if you have material concerns with the linked articles you are free to edit them

The problem is that I don't know what is accurate and what isn't on Wikipedia, and I don't have time to research everything. Also, editing Wikipedia is often very difficult and frustrating.

> although it must be said you will have a hard time doing so with rich folks - they have firms to whitewash their pages

And a hard time with anything controversial, or a page where an editor or editors who feel ownership, or one with an astroturfing campaign, or many others. Wikipedia is the original disinformation source, discovered long ago by some groups.
Moon colonies, mars colonies, space stations in orbit for science, space stations for leisure, space stations for industry. Shipyards for building bigger spaceships in orbit. Mining asteroids. Etc.
Why not department.transfer(employee) or workplace.transfer(employee, department_from, department_to)? I think that sometimes the most OOP way is just to write

char department[10];
float salary;
}

and be done with it.
Mars in the first years (probably for decades) will likely be way worse.

Workers will spend all 24 hours of every day in risky circumstances, and the quality of aid will be worse. For example, even if there is a MRI machine, will there be surgeons? A small population simply cannot support a wide range of medical specialists.
I've read through a lot of this thread and I think this is an underrated point. Thank you for making it; it's been good food for thought.

I agree that the first HD revival started very poorly, but some of the best (and most clever) episodes are in those later post movies episodes. So you know, it will probably be mediocre, but if we get a few gems, fine by me.

That seems pretty unlikely. As a funnel to NYT games, the NYT decided this thing was worth over a million. It's very questionable whether Wardle could have extracted a million in revenue from ads on Wordle.

Look at what he said. ASIO has said almost nothing. Most of what is being reported at the moment is speculation and from anonymous sources. My reading of what ASIO actually said, this could just be a local businessman caught laundering political donations from a foreign government. Probably just business as usual except for the election cycle and recent tensions with Russia and China. In fact, one of the few things ASIO actually did say was this is nothing unusual and happening all the time.
I may not agree with all of his ideas, but I find his speaking style just fine. Honestly, I prefer someone who reaches for words but says what he means to say.
That could be a feature or a bug I suppose.

In a way, it is. Most of these words are French.
That's a pretty small group of people to start with.

Apparently there have been only nine people between 1750 and 1950 worth over $100 billion dollars. (Wikipedia, so who knows) Of them, 6 were not born into privilege:

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Stephen Girard, John D. Rockefeller, Carnegie, John Jakob Astor, and Henry Ford.

Including the modern era adds another 9, only 2 of which were not born into privilege - Larry Ellison and Jeff Bezos. You could argue definition of privilege and add Sergey Brin in there maybe.

So depending on your definition of privilege and 'massive success,' you might be only just correct, with 10/18 people worth over $100 billion in the last 250 years or so coming from privilege.
most of _us_, I can easily believe. But most _people_ in the Western world? I'd like to see some references.

But many programmers use it as a how-to guide. I've had people tell me "but that's how it's done in GOF", even if the design pattern was a poor fit for the problem at hand, just because there was some superficial resemblance to one of the examples in the book.
> and it will let the use of encryption be evidence in lawsuits and criminal trials

How long until the comparisons to East Germany start? America is apparently gearing up for "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", with many seemingly agreeing with this sentiment.

Perhaps more importantly, how have major journalistic networks not written about this bill in the worst possible light? When your sources want to use encryption, which is reasonable given some stories, this exact excerpt seems likely to bite someone in the ass.

While we're on the subject, I thought I'd heard that American polititians were using Signal? What happens when using encryption becomes ammunition for a lawsuit against them? Do they simply assume they have very, very good lawyers, and it'll all shake out because they don't believe they did (are going to do) anything wrong?

> Canada has some of the harshest (and most ridiculous) covid measures in the world

And we have some of the lowest death rates in the world. Should we just condemn the vulnerable people to death because freedom is more important?

Can you give examples of these "ridiculous" covid measures? Sure for a few months, I couldn't go to the theaters or the gym but those are provincial mandates. If you want to protest those, go to Toronto not Ottawa.

Truckers losing jobs? You know there are domestic routes for the 10% unvaccinated drivers. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-ceo-of-cana...

If you want to talk about harsh/ridiculous covid measures, go look at the stunts they do China. Spewing hyperbole doesn't help.

> bimbo prime minister that has no interest in civil discourse about what measures the federal government should be able to impose on people and is only interested in securing his own power

Why should he negotiate with people whose demands include the removal of a democratically elected government (from a few months ago I might add)? You can't shut down cities and blockade roads just because the party representing your interests lost but I guess we haven't learned from Jan 6.

If the federal mandate (i.e. getting tested after the crossing border) is unconstitutional, the supreme court is down the road. But let's suppose this mandate is dropped, how can these unvaccinated truckers enter Canada when they need to be vaccinated to enter the US first?

> there are far more dollars floating around thanks to crypto

Uh no, cryptocurrencies can't generate USD. But if you meant "dollars" as a generic term for currency, then sure, kinda yeah, to the degree that cryptocurrencies are actually working as currencies (which they mostly are not).

Anyway, the "deflationary" claim is internal to a cryptocurrency. Nobody is asserting that cryptocurrencies cause deflation of USD.
Mars is difficult of course, but it does have resources. You can get water, oxygen, rocket fuel, various ores, etc. It's also not a vacuum, and there are places where the temperature profile is vaguely similar to Earth.

None of that is true in space, unless you're thinking of something I'm not, but like another poster has said, none of this is zero sum. The technology developed to try to settle on mars can be devoted to building large, habitable objects in space if people think that's a better plan. We should also have a moon base, etc. etc.
Regarding Texas, this sounds kind of like the better work of Larry McMurtry. I loved 'Leaving Cheyenne.'
Tesla autopilot has already been driving during multiple accidents that killed people. Tesla the company isn’t at significant risk from these accidents or related lawsuits as the driver and thus their insurance is still considered legally responsible.

Further, car accidents in general have relatively low payouts even when someone is blatantly at fault. Even being held responsible for say 10 fatalities per year would be a rounding error on their balance sheet, which is consistent with other industries that have killed vastly more people via things like pollution.

It’s reasonable to suggest human lives should have more value, but when you look at an airplane crash that kills hundreds it’s mostly an issue for an airlines reputation.

Indeed - so it is clear what one should do here, which is to begin by assuming the author is adopting a well-established meaning within the relevant context. For this, we have a couple of clues: one is British English usage, given that this is a press release from a British laboratory, and the other is that there is a meaning in which the calculation works out correctly.

In the light of this, what is your objection to my comment? As far as I can tell, it is in conformance with your numbered principles.

It's more of a dead-end job, in offices that still use administrative assistants (many fewer), and it was women back when they couldn't get better jobs. The entry level job for being a CEO, attorney, software developer, etc. isn't administrative assistant!

Bitcoin is for saving. You know, for things like retirement. I have 30 years to worry about that, do you think I care much what people are willing to exchange btc/usd at next month?

Not sure where people get the idea that "hedge against inflation" is referring to short term fluctuations in price differences. The problem with inflation is that once prices have risen 7.5%, they permanently have a 7.5% higher nominal price (even if inflation comes down afterwards). Your earnings might eventually increase by 7.5% to make up for that, but anything you had saved beforehand has declined in value by 7.5%.

The long term effect of these short bursts of inflation is a 99% loss of purchasing power in the same number of years.

lend themselves to work well within clickhouse's mutations mechanism. We don't know yet, but if performance proves good on clickhouse then a whole set of
use-cases opens up.
China has insatiable hunger for land in asia, fish in all the seas, and Australia. Any idea why? It's not like they use all of it. At some point most nations would deem it not worth the trouble to constantly be doing this bickering with all of their neighbours, I dont see that with China. One might say that they have only perfected the US system, but China does it a whole other tone-deaf way.
