I'd suggest a full online reboot:

* reinstall the OS on whatever desktop/laptop you use, don't install any browser plugins, get a pihole to help with ads.

* Buy some Yubi key or similar U2F token. Install authy or similar on your phone that supports TOTP and HOTP and allows for backups. Enable U2F or HOTP/TOTP on any site that supports it.

* Use bitwarden or something of similar capabilities (keepassx, bitwarden or similar functionality self hosted if you want). Keep notes on recovery codes, security questions, old passwords, data of account creation, which email to use for verification, etc. etc. etc. The more info the better when it comes to recovering the account. Always use a random answer to any security question, not anything easy to guess or discover about you.

* buy a new phone with a new phone number (keep the old if needed), ideally an IOS or Google Pixel, both of which have really good security and don't install random crapware from the cell provider or manufacturer. In particular avoid Samsung androids and the crapware they install from "partners" and cell providers.

* get a new online email address, use a strong password not shared with any other service. Enable 2FA, never use SMS for 2FA.

* Open a new credit card, set the notification threshold to $1.00 and have it email or SMS you any transactions. Use your new email account. Use said credit card online and offline.

* Create an account on an credit reporting/watching service like experian, watch for any fraudulent activity.

* for any new account use the new credit card, new email, turn on 2FA (not SMS), use a unique strong password, and keep notes in your password DB. The only connections to your previous existence should be your home address and name.

* Do not use your email address/account for posting apps to the Google or Apple stores, various automated scanning can trigger a violation that will impact your Apple or Google account associated with it.
In my opinion RPG developers should not only NOT do that, they should even do the opposite and hide more content behind exclusive choices of player character traits. I believe that most video game RPGs focus far too much on making these choices irrelevant and allowing to change them on a whim just perpetuates that.

I feel like you're speaking anecdotally, but at least in my experience some of my best friends were people that I met in previous companies. We still get together for weekly D&D sessions. But I make a concerted effort to maintain my friendships that I've developed even if we no longer work together, and that may be the key difference.

So as always one size does not fit all.
This is starting to remind me of the movie 2010.

"Back on Earth tension between the United States and the Soviet Union escalates to the brink of war, and the Americans are ordered to leave the Leonov and move to the Discovery, with communication with each other forbidden except in an emergency."

I will not deny for a second that Zuckerberg dreams of having the kind of big monopolistic platform that would let him single-handedly suppress speech he doesn't like. However, that's still not as bad of a harm as being thrown in jail for the same thing. There's a huge gulf between "large multinational corporation" and "sovereign nation" - the former can still have it's power challenged through antitrust law and regulations, while the latter is immune to such things because they have their own military.
That's nice, but it takes many years to install them in all homes, and can the power grid handle so much extra demand?

This tired old argument is getting threadbare.

Fairness, to the privileged, can look like persecution.

I.e. Because some parents are more interested in boosting their children scholastically when very young, doesn't mean they deserve a disproportionate share of the public school services. They've been getting it because helicopter parents are pushy. When there's pushback they make these spurious claims of being more deserving, and somehow persecuted.

That's not quite it. The bottled water / tap water comparison is still transporting exactly the same commodity. Liquefied natural gas, however, is much denser than its non-liquefied equivalent.

Per Wikipedia, Nordstream 1 can deliver 55 G(m^3)/yr of natural gas. Per a US government source (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=50598), the United States has an LNG export capacity of about 12 G(ft^3)/day, or about 120G(m^3)/yr.

I imagine the operational costs of a direct pipeline are lower than the cost of liquefaction, transport, and re-gasification, but from the notice that LNG exists this is probably has an O(1) effect on price, not O(10).

Fortunately, Europe is also beginning to exit "this winter," so the energy situation is less dire than if this invasion had occurred in December going into January.

Is there a minimally viable version of it that you could start selling?

From what I read, it sounds way too "in the weeds" to really be a marketable good/service.

Otherwise, kids are rough. I'm not much older than you. I realize probably every day past 30 (give or take) I'm moving slower, and kids can be outright chaos demons. There's also the fact of wanting to be established with a corporation to some extent before you ask for time off to have a kid. There's a HUGE amount of corporate knowledge and wisdom to know, but the minimal is you may be outright unable to take time off during any probationary period at a new job. The probation period could be anywhere from 0 days (unlikely), 90 days (common), to a year (not unheard of). If your "have a kid" deadline is 2 years from now and you probably need to have a decent professional relationship with an employer for a year before having the kid, the time to get hired is in the next year. I think that means it's time to get serious with applying for work as a search can take considerable time. Probably time to get "desperate" about finding work around 9 months from now, as a guestimate?

This is pretty much an open and shut case. The precedent of ICANN taking any form of regulatory stance would be enough to tear apart the fabric of the entire internet. We would inevitably silo off into parallel networks between the various competing ideologies of the world, and polarization would go exponential.

This, and most users are just that, users, and not producers, so they value/pay for high download bandwidth and mostly don't care about upload. Upload bandwidth costs money, and not many will pay for it, so we get what we pay for.

This is changing over time as the aggregate upstream load from mostly passive users nevertheless becomes greater than a video upload stream, eg because people are face timing and gaming, etc.. so presumably we'll reach a tipping point where enough people have the excess up to support a growing set of always cached content. İ think this is the long game for distributed fileaystems, eg ipfs

Your second paragraph stands alone on its own well without the first. I think human flaws spread around pretty evenly. It's actually a pretty good starting point for thinking humanizing the person you are disagreeing with and establishing common ground. If it's okay, I don't want to talk about the lab leak or laptop here - I don't want to distract from the separate topic of this law imposing 15 year prison sentences threat to Russian journalists.. "fake news" has only been brought into the discussion because of headline editorializing. I have to go back to work and likely cannot reply further but didn't want you to think I ignored you.

This is a really misinformed view... Vietnam, for example, was such a huge war that the number of bombs employed was actually bigger than in WWII! Just because Vietnam is not an European country it doesn't make that war any less horrific than Ukraine in absolutely any way you look at it (well, as of today, Vietnam was enormously larger than the current war, of course, with millions of deaths - luckily, so far, in Ukraine, deaths are in the low thousands).
Edwin,

I began to draft an email with many attached receipts demonstrating the email confusion, but then I realized they were all from Square and not from Stripe.

Please accept my apologies for the above post. I would remove it if I could.
This is just somebody blowing you off who probably isn't allowed to just ignore you, and they're buying time by sending you on errands.

edit: the solution is probably to make clear to others that they're blowing you off, maybe by publicly requiring that they follow up on the next errand they're sending you on with some sort of deliverable on their end.

edit2: and if nobody else cares that they're blowing you off, look for another job.
> Holding civilians responsible for the actions of regimes is central to all justification of terrorism

No, it's not, because most terrorism is, as was the thing for which the name was coined, state terrorism directed at citizens of the state (states who engage in such terrorism tend to prefer to put the focus on other terrorism, of course.) But, even for the kinds of terrorism for which it is true, this part of the rationale is not the problem with terrorism, in the same way that “people are responsible for their own actions” is central to the justification for cruel and unusual punishment for crimes, but is not the problem with that punishment.
I read this through a completely different lens. The people I've seen with this type of behaviour have been bitter or incompetent leads or managers. I too wished they would take a long hike of a short bridge, but chose to leave the company instead. Entitled and demanding people who offered very little value and had built their careers by trampling on others. No thanks for me.
> The West was unable to stop the war. But Russia did stop it.

I don't understand. Azerbaijan took Nagorny Karabakh by force. What exactly Russia stopped there? Advance of Azerbaijan deeper, into undisputed Armenian territory? I don't think so.

I quite like the chirurgical, strategic feel of the exposition. Denotes clear thinking, and/or multiple revisions.

When I work in some code I often spend too much time on reviewing and enhancing code in this way, but mine being a side project all that work (I’m not the best programmer by far) is either for future me or for no one, and often I end up feeling that I lost time for nothing.

But I like to spend time in making this kind of clean code {shrug}.
Very cool. A natural next step would be to auto-generate a completion script.
Honest question: who actually wants these features? Why are MS-specific subscription integrations at the OS level desirable to me as a home user? It really doesn't seem hard to visit a website the rare times I want to modify a subscription, or to get email notifications about expirations.

The more I read about Win 11 the more I wonder who they're designing the OS for. None of the features I've read about so far are really anything I care about.

Well, maybe - but as long as it is led by people who know the political circumstances and are willing to dig deeper.

For comparison, there was a Post-WW1 Middle-East map, which took into cultures and ethnicities. It took a lot of work to interview communities:

I find that plain text is a very effective anti-procrastination tool. That's why the "API" was actually text-first. Limiting your options can be very liberating.
Evrrytime someone asks this questions it's always the same, people thinking "build it and they'll come". I don't know how anyone can embark on projects like this without being sure there's a market for it. I guess that's what it means taking a risk, but still, you can be throwning years of your life at something that no one wanted.
Wow. World record for the longest continual operation of a computer... achieved in a radiation bath.
"Sell" is an exaggeration if this is the case. You can achieve the same result just by talking to people to validate the idea. Literally, selling then building is an entirely different thing that sets a hard deadline on what you build.
I agree about the terrifying scenario, but that would end even worse for Russia. But I suppose I can rely on their competent analysis in that area, or that they wouldn't simply do it even knowing it's worse... Loss of face, appearing weak, wanting to take down everything with you that you can...
For my most recent venture I went into an existing market with hundreds of competitors (technical recruiting). I knew there was demand, though I did have to learn specific tactics for selling this service. I stumbled on the idea by experiencing a problem with the shady/spammy nature of the technical recruiting industry and feeling like I had a better way.

I've killed 5+ startups in the first few months though by prioritizing talking to potential customers over building software. Hard to do as an introvert that loves building things.

My recommendation to get a full-time job comes from the belief that if you are so focused on coming up with a winning idea, it becomes more illusive. (See: http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html)

That looks like a lovely book but I don't think it's the one. I have an extremely hazy inkling that my book featured a prominent wall, maybe the outer bounds to a town or castle in which the protagonist lived? I've also long associated the book with fantasy and a forested setting, but no idea if those memories are real or invented. My book also featured humans (or at least, I don't think the protagonist was a badger).

Thanks for sharing. There are times I only want to eat bread and jam, so I may check out your book lol.
Because the answer is false, modules do not solve the problem of having common/shared template instantiations.

As for the comment about MSVC, it's mostly off topic, doesn't relate to the question that was asked (which had nothing to do with which compiler provides the best experience), and even if you accept that MSVC provides the best module experience, it's support for it is still very buggy and not suitable for anything other than experimenting and beta testing.
I have negotiated teacher union contracts, from the non-teacher side - the easiest way to get the union to agree to layoffs was to offer a slight bump in pay to the most senior teachers - i.e. the ones most connected with the union - worked every time. The senior/older teachers were always more than happy to lay off the younger/newer staff, as long as they got even a slight bump in their own pay - i.e. I don't care if class sizes go up, and we have to layoff 10 of the most recent hires - as long as I get a 4% raise instead of 3%.

There is nothing about teachers unions priorities that align in anyway with students & parents priorities.

Norway Chess cancels Alexander Grischuk
non-violent communication [0] and sales culture [1] both teach us that when someone makes a request, we can either take it at face value, or try to understand the underlying need. In Rachel's case, the requests kept on being red herrings, because whatever this person's underlying need, it wasn't for the design doc to be in the wiki or whatever. A process of discovery might have been a better track than continually trying to hit a moving target.

Then again, when I've been on the other side of a moving target -- when a supervisor kept coming up with things I was doing wrong that never quite jelled together -- it was because a decision about my continued employment had already been made in principle, but no one was acknowledging it head-on for political/legal reasons. In that situation, I don't think there's any way to get off-script except just to quit, which is exactly what your supervisor and HR department are probably hoping for.

Your IP probably got on a list of Bad People. Tech companies share a list of bad ips and they tend to silently block. The last thing they want to do is provide a failure feedback loop the bad guys can use to map their fraud and abuse detection system.

Is your Wi-Fi password nontrivial? Are you using WPA?
Lock down your Wi-Fi and call your ISP to ask that they expire your dhcp lease or assign you a new static IP. (If that’s not possible switch isps. For example if you have ATT fiber you can switch to Sonic. The fiber is the same but the service is actually handled differently)

Less likely but still worth considering:
Do do you reuse passwords? If you reuse passwords it’s possible someone is doing some fraud on your behalf. Check haveibeenpwned to see if a email address associated with your shared password has been leaked.

If you don’t already start using a password manager and use unique, nontrivial passwords for everything.
Funny thing happens when you start asking real money for features ... suddenly it turns out that customers can make changes in their workflows.
Sounds like: "I have a specific protocol for interacting with me, and you did not follow my protocol."

Some possible responses to that:

- "How was I supposed to know this the only way to get your attention? It's your fault for not publishing your protocol."

- "I have tried to get your attention in exactly the ways you prescribed, and it's your fault for not responding to any of them."

- "Your protocol is unreasonable and I have escalated to management to discuss better means of interaction."

- "Oops sorry, let me try that next time."
> What prevents me from going to two ATMs at exactly the same time and withdrawing my entire balance? Is there a single central location for instantaneous money transfers like ATMs?

I am a bit familiar with Interac in Canada, the EFTPOS (pin and chip retail) system here. Aside from the EFTPOS system, it also serves as a domestic interbank transfer service. When you withdraw money from an ATM, the ATM bank connects to your bank via the interbank Interac system, and submits your authorisation to transfer the funds out of your account into the ATM bank's receiving account and gives you the money. This is an atomic transaction done real time, so no double spending allowed. I believe it's conceptually quite similar for the European EFTPOS systems and Cirrus/Maestro in the US. Credit cards work a fair bit differently though.

And yes, the transfer from customer to merchant is in fact usually immediate. If someone buys something in my store, I can 10 seconds later use the debit card linked to the account to spend the funds. That's why reversing fraudulent debit card transactions can be a major pain with not much in the way of guarantee of restitution.
I might actually be tempted use voice assistant/command software if I could communicate with it silently through a discreet sticker or necklace.
