> Proof of stake doesn't solve this problem, as the top stakers end up needing to control (or get coopted by) the monopolies on violence

How so? Assuming (pseudo-)anonymity for stakers is possible.
Maybe not the "best", but good advise nonetheless - sometimes if you have no way out, it's just preferable to stay and fight. Most times, it is better to run because war is ugly and you best leave it to those trained in it. Safeguarding your family should be your top priority, and for a civilian a political fight later is always the better option.
I have actually run into that on one or two things, but there were only peripheral to what I deal with. Drones, aircraft, etc. have all been what I mentioned in my (limited) experience.
There are many millions of people in the US who still have not seen rational expplainations as to the cause of the towers falling. The misinformation, confusion, and subsequent distrust of the government resulting from that and other factors has led to these people still holding onto the false flag narrative. It didn't help that they new who was responsible so soon after the attack (which I found very maddening and suspicious, certainly not comforting) and that certain elements within the Bush administration used the attack for their own agenda to start another war in Iraq. Years later it was proven to be a lie as we're the fact that the FBI was following all of the attackers, the Bush admin warned numerous times, and that fact was covered up as well.

So, given all that and most of those millions of people probably never seeing anything more detailed than Loose Change they have lost all trust in government. This is one of the core elements of our modern day populist uprising.

I had not even been aware of some of the sound explanations I have heard in this thread today. I watched the towers fall live, I watched the hideous war drumming and lying to start the Iraq war, live. In those days (I was 25) as someone who meticulously kept up with all open source material on world events previous, during, and after, I lost any and all faith in government.

Since then, the opioid epidemic has been exposed and was something I lived through as well...all of it. I lost my dad, brother, closest uncle, and my cousin (brother-cuz) to that fucking nightmare.

I know my experience is the tip of the ice berg. I'm smart and I can feel my way through misinformation but it is still tuff to do. I think people greatly misunderstand the impact of these events and how they are still lighting fires to this very day.

It ain't over.
> Also saying people will spend as much on virtual clothes as real clothes feels offbase, but maybe I'm wrong.
As a gamedev I can absolutely believe this. You don't have to spend much time googling the breakdown of consumer spend in the games industry to see that this is absolutely, sadly, true.
But they don't need to spend all their time in those metaverse to do that.
One interesting thing that I didn't see mentioned in the (excellent) article - is that renewables allow for local and hyper-local electricity generation. With any system, there will be transmission loss. But when the solar panels are in the field down the street, or on your roof, that becomes negligible.

It also touches a little on the installation time. Nuclear power stations takes years to build - even after the tortuous planning process. Wind farms are quicker to install. A solar array is almost instantaneous by comparison. The panels on my roof took a week - and most of that was dealing with scaffolding and my dodgy wiring.

If you can install solar panels day-after-day, you benefit from an increased learning rate. And, frankly, the training for how to do it isn't arduous. Nuclear might be the future - but it requires a highly trained workforce and constant maintenance. All of which are expensive.
Correct, it's big but I wouldn't say huge (maybe 4.5x2.5m). This is the machine they used: https://conrad-stanen.nl/nl/producten/boxer-200
We have more than that, 12 according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_in_the_European_energy_...
> What are the significant differences that justified killing (directly or indirectly) many tens of thousands and messing up a country for 20 years, that still makes it valid to have outrage for the current situation? I'm genuinely curious!

We are more enlightened than we were 20 years ago. Just to mention one.
(Also lots of people weren't in favor of Iraq of Afghanistan)

More importantly even if the US did overreact or oversell the justification for it's wars.
The US didn't act alone, nor were they anywhere near as dishonest as Russia have been.

It appears to me that Russia purposefully made diplomatic solutions impossible.

> (2) I think the other comment put it best. Bush and co lied about the situation (there being WMDs). And is it OK now if Putin regrets his invasion 2028?

He had 8 years to regret the invasion he made in 2014, right?

But no -- it's not okay now.. but if in 8 years Putin comes out says it was wrong, I'll give him more credibility afterwards.

I work on Guilded (https://www.guilded.gg), a tool for gamers to organize their teams, kind of like Slack + Google Docs + Calendar + Zoom. While you’re not gamers, it would directly address your use case (chat, RSVP to events, share photos, find common availability, host shared docs, have video calls, etc) for free in a single tool. It admittedly has a higher learning curve than a simpler basic chat app like Discord or Slack due to having more features (unused features can be disabled).

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about different messaging tools and talking to people about their needs. I agree with other commenters that the _easiest_ (not necessarily best) and recommended solution will be whatever most people are already using, whether that’s an iMessage group, GroupMe, Telegram, or whatever. Getting people to use a new platform is a difficult problem because it only takes 1 person to refuse to force the whole group back to the status quo. If you will be adopting a new platform, then and only then would I worry about which one is “best.” Everyone (including me) will have strong opinions about the one they’re using being the best, so I can only share my experiences here…

While Slack is a solid option and I do use it for a couple groups, a big downside of the free plan is that that messages in lesser used channels or DM’s will disappear as discussion progresses in another channel, which can be very frustrating if you need to reference the last thing sent later. If you only need chat, Discord is a decent option as some people may already be using it, but you’ll want to train the group how to identify and avoid falling victim to the various scams plaguing Discord now. The ideals behind Matrix and similar distributed messaging apps are excellent, but in practice, they are not approachable for non-technical audiences, don’t provide any particular benefit for your use case to make the learning curve worth it, and are more likely to create a splintered group.

Let me know if you have more questions or what you decide, whichever way you go! Always curious to hear about the decision making process… neil@guilded.gg
Majority of Ukrainian aircraft is intact. Drones are being used.

Yes, and civilians are doing whatever they can to stop them.

Yes. It's true, and more are coming.

I make text adventure games in a language called Hugo. It was released in the late 90s and has not changed much. I have enjoyed being able to code with some stability for fun as I've learned other languages for work. Hugo feels like home, and it's comforting to know a language really well.

Guild Wars 2. Mostly due to the awesome in-game community.
It was for a time, and then the ability to plug a USB drive into one CDJ and use it across multiple CDJs came into play. Suddenly, instead of bringing a laptop to a club that you have to fumble around with (no more unplugging and rewiring decks in the middle of someone's set), all you needed to do was bring a thumb drive.

Nowadays you still see folk using Serato/Traitor for sure, but - at least within the dance music community - regular vinyl or USB/CDJ (or often a combo of both) are the most common formats you'll see.

Code on a laptop and mine verium on it too (or whatever, 'compile') + an incandescent bulb aimed at your head is a decent amount of mitigation for it being 17-18C.

During the cold snap where it was below -15C during the night in the southern US last year I did exactly what i specified, and i didn't bother using my central heat. I haven't used central heat at all for 2 years. I do have mini split air systems, but at -15C they spend more time defrosting than heating, so the mitigation was to use lots of blankets in the bedrooms and turn the minisplits to heat at about 6AM to take the chill out for the morning routines, but shut them off at 10PM. There's no sense in wasting heat defrosting on "less efficient" heat pumps.

for perspective it's about 19C(66.2F) and i'm wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt, indoors. One other thing that may not be true everywhere is i run de-humidifiers nearly year round, so that does dump about 800-1000W in the air when they're actively removing moisture, so your mileage may vary.
This is a funny article considering that there’s literally a war going on where Germany has been hesitant to oppose Russia because it’s move to renewables left it highly dependent on Russian gas. https://fortune.com/2022/02/25/ukraine-anger-sanctions-germa...
Sink directly into it for the summer. Heat exchanger between the source (approx 10-15C) and the water from the floor heating/cooling system. Because the heat pump is not involved it's very efficient (only the power of the well pump)

I'm actually considering if it makes sense to push a lot more heat into it in the summer (Deliberately leaving curtains open, then moving this heat into the well; or even PVT panels), but I'm not sure if the well would retain heat long enough to make a difference towards the winter.
Because I can't get a job writing Haskell without having a PhD and some 5+ years of experience in the language even though I've been in the SWE field for 10+ years, so I have to get the fix for my addiction from somewhere else.

Isn't the cost different? Asking in earnest, it's been years since I've been big into gaming. I remember xbox avatars charging a couple dollars for an outfit, whereas a typical casual outfit for me would be 50 to 70 dollars
Is this really, really renewable? I thought the heat down there was stored from before and will eventually peter out...

We might all be dead by then but hey... not renewable!
How does that work for Apple Health?
It’s definitely best to meet people where they are. Discord is more user friendly for a lot of people, but something like a signal/instagram group could work depending on your group size.

If you are interested in Matrix, I am currently running one for a local security conference, and can answer some questions. I have it configured to automatically add you to rooms when you make an account. You can signup here: https://matrix.carolinacon.org/ .

How much would renewable cost if it wasn't supported by fossil fuel (e.g. for extracting and processing the resources needed to build solar panel)?
Having grown up around guns, you should know that modern semi and fully automatic rifles are 100x more n00b friendly than an 18th century muzzle loader.
The husband dedication to support his wife is totally amazing.
Electricity transmission costs are really negligible. You will never be able to produce enough power just from solar panels on your roof, and the cost and complexity of needing to maintain and repair installations at each house may offset the negligible gain obtained from getting rid of the transmission loss
That’s an amazing idea and simple! I miss directions all the time too.
We have been watching CNN for as long as I can remember, because it’s the US network that has the largest international presence. (We’re immigrants and my dad works in international development.) Going back to CNN clips from 1990 and comparing them to today is eye opening. It’s gotten to the point where even my dad, a Carter-loving yellow dog Democrat, calls it “DNC Propaganda.”

By the way, the rejoinder that “Fox isn’t any better” may be true but also misses the point. For one thing, being no better than Fox is hardly something to be proud of. For another, Fox, and conservative media in general, is self-consciously a rebuttal to the generally liberal-leaning narrative from traditional media. It puts a conservative spin on what used to be a generally shared universe of facts. When CNN became just like Fox, it caused the left and right to completely cleave into parallel factual universes.

Because their stated goal is basically to capture Kyiv and install their own government. They were expecting that everything would go like Crimean operation, but didn't account for the fact that Ukrainian army evolved since, have lots of experience fighting russia-backed separatists in Donbass region and is much more passionate about fighting than 8 years ago, when russian army conducted Crimean operation.

It does have a similar feel, but IIUC, Minimal English is trying to be systematic about restricting itself to true primitives, as opposed to starting with all of the words that happen to be one syllable in English. I imagine one can compose many hard-to-translate expressions out of one-syllable words.
Indeed, and the same goes for Russia, my friend.
There are plenty of people making enough power just from solar panels on their roof.

It doesn’t work everywhere of course and requires some form of storage or offsetting by powering the grid during the day.

The blog post tries to paint the RabbitMQ cookie generation as a security issue, but the Erlang distribution cookie is NOT a security feature. Indeed, the Erlang documentation states:

> "Security" here does not mean cryptographically secure, but rather security against accidental misuse, such as preventing a node from connecting to a cluster with which it is not intended to communicate.

The purpose of the cookie is to guard against _accidental misuse_, such as a user connecting to the wrong node (prod vs testing?). The cookie is not meant to secure a system against unauthorised use. Any system relying on the cookie for security should already be considered broken. Thus I can see why there has not been such hurry to "fix" the issue.

Here's the simplest way to get to net zero: solar, wind, batteries, natural gas, then hydrogen.

Solar and wind are cheap, but intermittent. Batteries can help store energy from day to night. To help store energy from summer to winter, they need to become 1000 times cheaper, which is not going to happen. For that you need peaker plants. Initially methane-based, later they can be converted to hydrogen.

It's as simple as that.

It's crazy how one institution SWIFT has "monopoly" in banking payment orders. Maybe something like blockchain(decentralized, distributed and transparent network) would suite banks better because they could "vote" and settle transactions in more transparent, open and democratic way. It would be kind of cool to see global banking transactions flowing in the real time and banks voting to allow or disallow each of those transactions. Also it would be interesting to see how much banks are charging to process transactions taking into account they would compete to process transactions.
> But both micromanagement and chilling effects can be extremely disruptive.

Completely agree.

> You don't promote honest feedback and constructive criticism when those giving and receiving the comments feel like management are snooping on everything all the time.

Also true.

But management couldn't do much to coerce people -- including plausibly-deniably intimidating, harassing and spooking staff -- even if they're watching everything they do -- without themselves entering into some risk.

Add to that the fact that any kind of sophisticated employee-trolling would require co-ordination and research, and transparency becomes more and more attractive, as long as it's applied in both directions.

(I'll add that part of the working theory here is that rank-and-file staff (non-management) are on equal footing; not always necessarily true, perhaps, but should be on aggregate for large enough populations)

COBOL May Still Have a Shelf Life
Without dismissing the empirical evidence and importancy of the study, these are not that surprising: after all the gut is very linked to eating, and from the start of the abstract it somewhat relates: you could imagine people who suffer from obesity or diabetes changed this 'collection of microbes' over time into this negative feedback loop that then alters a multitude of systems.
For those who have not kept up on it, there are more obscure studies recently done:which found that the gut microbiota affect all sorts of things: from blood pressure to brain functions that can then degenerate into 'mild' things (depression for example) or more severe cases (symptoms akin to autism or even worse).Somehow on a second thought one could argue these all make sense, because these alter your hormonal balance, every disease can possible appear.And it's cliche but it's true: we are what we eat,if these microorganisms don't function properly, you're at a disadvantage.(It's also one of the reasons nutrition is so important when you talk about bodybuilding, or any other activity/goal that needs to be reached through having a proper hormonal balance)

Even though it's not present here, I dislike the rhetoric that seems to portray such organisms as "scary" distinct parts from our bodies(especially when talked in the media).Without these microbes we would have a lot of problems adapting to our environment, if one could even exist without them.
