I don't get what you are saying.

an individual's emotional response gets them to act. rational people tell them where to channel their energy. we need both.

but you put up goal posts marking objective things people can do better on, as if to check whether or not I'm allowed to have an opinion on this truck (which is the inane part, not the whole conversation) tho I'm tired of it as well.

I met those goal posts and went further because I've been acting on the emotional and rational responses for years now.

my point is that we don't need "arbitrary" lines to find out whether this specific truck skirting these specific taxes is crossing them. it's so flagrant it doesn't need an emotional or rational justification.

it clearly does.

just admit your original comment was an emotional one, go back and read it and tell me it wasn't at all.

I don't care whether we are polarized. I don't believe we are going to experience a magical unification where we figure out politics out and defeat climate change.

it's a slow train downhill and everybody who isn't getting on board now (trying and learning to reduce) is my enemy. end of story.
I guess I'm not sure what your standards are here. If you're expecting that there should be phones identical in every way to flagship models except that the battery is removable, I don't think that's reasonable, since the entire point is that the design requirement of a removable battery requires tradeoffs.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make about asbestos and leaded gasoline. I support those regulations because they cover much more important issues. As far as I know nobody's gotten lung cancer from not being able to remove their phone's battery.
“If you find that you have to add the dependency in lots of places just to satisfy the compiler, not because the functionality actually requires the dependency, that's usually a sign the class should be broken up into classes with more clearly defined responsibilities.”

Sure in theory this is correct but you can’t always anticipate future needs. The class may still have very clearly defined responsibility but it just needs another piece of information that you can get only with DI. I feel this over dependence on DI in .NET forces you to design around the framework and not around what makes sense.
> Home insurance policies are quite a lot more expensive than actual repair costs are likely to be.

Hahaha that's a good one... especially as we're talking about Miele here. ;-)

And you're factually wrong anyway.

I didn't say "home insurance", I said "household appliance insurance". Different thing, unless your home insurance happens to cover appliances.

My household appliances insurance is not expensive. It covers 5 appliances, unlimited call-outs, and you don't get screwed at renewal time if you've claimed on the insurance.

As I said, I've had Miele out A LOT over the years and I've never paid them a penny, and trust me on some of my older large appliances they've pretty much replaced 100% of the internal parts.
Yes, I've always wondered about this too - you would need a communication laser and a lot of power.
The incident you’re referring to is exactly the incident that made me move on :)
Yes, because I saw a spike in traffic that made me scratch my head. Turns out it's not originating from there, though :-)
I’ve been sort of amazed by the line of reasoning as well: Russia can invade a democracy aligning with “the west”, but if “the west” were to, say, bomb the military in a country that is aligning with Russia (after ignoring election results and suppressing the opposition with violence), then we would be inviting nuclear war. Very asymmetric, but I guess that is the advantage of being an autocrat with a propensity for throwing threats around :/
You’re assuming private relay is like a VPN. It’s not [1]. Apple can see your IP address but not the service you are connecting to. The independent private relay partner (eg cloudflare) can see the service being connected to but not your IP address. The website can see nothing about the connection (unless you login). This also prevents tracking you across sites btw.

You might be right but I have a friend to worked at Apple that would claim Apple could only make their phone smaller by building in the battery. He didn't seem to notice that Samsung built phones with just as many features with a replaceable battery.
If they want to design, manufacture, and sell rugged devices, then they should shoulder the costs.

If they don't want to, then they can make something less rugged.

No excuses for resource waste and pollution.
(Posted this above as well) I saw a spike in traffic after the invasion; this prompted the whole thing. Turns out it's not coming from Russia, though.
"I can't mow this week wife, think of the bees." Thanks science.
Where did you get human extinction from?

I don’t think I’m the one doing the hyperbole here?

Transuranic waste won’t be as deadly 1000 years from now as it would be today (for the same waste). Any actinides with dangerous enough levels of radiation to kill someone quickly will have notably decayed by then, even if they are still present in detectable quantities. Some of the middlin’ ones will still be around, but they are almost never in notable enough quantities to cause problems unless someone literally eats a significant amount of it directly.

If it is still deadly for someone depends entirely on dose, exposure, composition, and concentration. Same as a chunk of lead, dioxins, PCBs, methyl mercury, non-organic pesticides, etc.

And unlike all those other dangers, it’s pretty easy to detect radioactive waste as….
It’s radioactive.

It’s pretty unlikely it’s going to be a problem big enough to kill any notable number of people AND folks somehow forgot how to detect radiation (you literally can buy a pretty decent Geiger counter on Amazon for $20, or build a cloud chamber yourself), AND no one is doing any of the detecting.

And considering how little actual waste there is compared to the far worse (by real life impact) industrial waste we still produce, this is not the problem it always gets made out to be.

Like in the Chernobyl thread awhile ago where folks where breathlessly talking about how the soldiers were in grave danger from the radiation (which some spikes were notable, but were small spikes), when said soldiers are getting blown up with Javelins, mines, and shot by Ukranians at a level currently several orders of magnitude worse than even the highest theoretical estimation of radiation problems could predict.

My lawn would be so long if I mowed every other week. It would also be extremely bad for my lawn (fescue with KBG and rye).

I mow about twice a week and keep my lawn at 3” - 4”. I like it a bit longer.

If I let it grow for 2 weeks I’d be chopping off 50% or more of its length which puts the lawn under so much stress. It would be wide open for disease and it would actually be wasting water.
Fta: you’re correct
I'm not. I wish to consider if defending one's home might include defending one's electronic presence, however that may manifest itself.

For example, you have a home security system that you monitor from your mobile device. Perhaps you have your pet at home, there have been break-ins in your neighborhood, and just after someone showed up on your doorstep the CCTV feed cuts. You are not at home and the cops are busy. - But you have the skills to defend your home's electronic presence. You suspect a life, your pet, may be in danger so you have a good motive.

What then?
Honestly sounds like you are just being jealous of the benefits we get over here. Not sure that's what you wanted to achieve.
Re configurable TLS: TLS 1.3 allows services to perfectly pin certs and reject your custom root CA. It breaks the flow you are talking about that has worked up to 1.2. The answer is to not build a myopic protocol/technology that only cares about 1 dimension of usage.

Re mac addresses: I’m not saying there aren’t valid reasons for people to want these changes. I’m asking the user be allowed to configure their privacy posture at the protocol level rather than assuming all users want i finite anonymity. Maybe you care about someone following your phone around in public but maybe at home you want to enable secure neighbor discovery and give your stationary devices strong link-level identity…

My point is it’s complicated and “privacy at all costs” is not a one-size-fits-all silver bullet solution.

I never argued these problems aren't real and only hypothetical. I’m asking to be given the ability at the protocol level to make informed decisions as to where I fall on the privacy vs security axis rather than be wholly subject to protocols that assume I always want maximum privacy.
You don’t need to store timestamps “in UTC”. You just need to store the time zone offset. That extra few bytes of precision representing where the timestamp sender is makes the sun location absolute.

Some databases let you input values like “2022-03-13T08:33:26-06:00” and then display them in UTC or your local time zone or whatever time zone you configured. BugQuery at one time was toying with the idea of taking a few additional bytes of information to represent the preferred display timezone of the timestamp, but I have no idea if that ever made it to beta.

That is another big advantage of induction. It gets much less dirty because it’s so easy to wipe clean each time it is used.

That said, it is not necessarily exclusive, we can have a nice flat surface along with a panel with physical knobs on the side. Even with a minimalist look à la Dieter Rams if needed.
I think that'd be near impossible to speculate on. There could be hundreds of different ways it could evolve that way, including ways that involve frameworks that haven't been invented yet.
I'm a little surprised, but the weight being roughly the same makes sense. The thickness is a little deceptive. I think they're both measured from their thickest point, but the Framework is essentially a solid brick with only a slight taper on the front and back edge, while the Air tapers to nearly a point on a number of sides. For reference, Apple lists the Air at:

Height: 0.16–0.63 inch (0.41–1.61 cm)

So they're the same thickness at their thickest point, but I'd guess that the Air has much less of the laptop at that thickness. I'd be curious about a volumetric comparison.
You're wrong, game developers in recent years have started caring a lot more about Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines

Half the game engines on that list target Linux, not 5%, not 15%, half.
Your age will not be a factor in your success. Many of my friends are successfully running companies while raising children in their 30s.

> Cash, card or tap and pay.

Still way more friction than Uber where you setup a payment method in the app once and no actual payment is ever required to the driver, pretty much anywhere in the world.

Also:

1) how do you tell the driver where you want to go? I've found this to be a major PITA with many cab fares, especially if you drive to unusual destinations. I've met many a cab driver that simply are incapable of using google maps. Case in point: a month ago in a small European town where Uber is banned by the local thugs who run the town, I give my destination to the driver at the cab station, lo and behold, he proceeds to spending 10mn first asking and then arguing with his colleagues in the local patois how to get there. I tried to step in to show them on my phone, they basically ignore me, because they obviously know better. The fact that I;m in a hurry is the least of their concerns. Ugh.

2) How easily and quickly can you get cabs to pick you up exactly where and when you want, especially if we're talking less than 10mn delay? In a big city like LON that might not be a problem, but from experience, and I'm talking about European capitals, and smaller cities in the US or Asia, this is *way* worse than the Uber experience.

As a matter of fact, an Uber ride requires zero interaction with the driver other than agreeing that you're the customer and he's the provider.

Quasi-frictionless and immediate, which - in my book - makes it a winner in spite of them having a despicable corporate culture.

The price considerations are a different conversation, but AFAIC, I'm certainly ready to pay more for an Uber to get to that frictionless transaction.

The day a cab ride is as easy to setup as an Uber ride, I'll very gladly stop using Uber.

But in most places, that simply isn't the case.
what ever happened to carmen sandiego?
> I mean how is that abusive, but a paid VPN subscription is considered a leet hacker move for those in the know?

From what I've seen it's not really those "in the know", but rather those convinced by half-assed explanations of what paid VPN subscriptions do by YouTube sponsorships.
We had a copy of Mavis Beacon but I never really used it. What taught me typing:

1. Flirting with the girl I later married over ICQ

2. Getting rushed and begging for help in StarCraft 1

Both things require timely and efficient typed communication!
It would also cut the number of interrupted Zoom meetings due to noise pollution in half.
I always think when I hear of the “unbanked”:

Lucky them …
To make it clear, I didn't buy the spare part from Ali Express. The spare part would have cost around 10€ on Ali Express.

I bought it for 20€ from a reputable local electronics parts dealer. The part I got for 20€ was a high quality 3rd party heating element compatible with Miele washers.
This is a rejection of your own agency. You don't have to know the whole truth about every detail to be able to come to a reasonable conclusion.

If you think it is difficult or tricky being dependent on others and trusting others, I'd suggest the contrary is much worse.
On a somewhat related note, if you’re teaching your kids typing the current Mavis Beacon software has broken DRM purchased straight from Amazon. I was told by their support to buy it again directly from their website. I recommend the much superior Typing.com
That’s what databases such as etcd and dqlite are used for.
>Just get a household appliances insurance policy.

Any insurance is a conflict of interest. The entity responsible for paying out is the same entity responsible for if/how much you get paid out. Any for-profit insurance company is incentivized to pay out as little as possible, if any. Any litigation is likely to cost way more than the payout.
The cost of turnover, all the minted millionaires have left. It's a shame they didn't pay out to the top contributors.
Bad approach to life. My advice is to either learn to love things that have to be done (and frequently like mowing) or pay someone to do it. Life’s too short.

Lawn is really fascinating when you get into it.
> Just set your TV's with a static IP address and block outbound access to that address at your firewall.

If you're assuming the TV is malicious, why trust it to honor that static IP setting? Doesn't even have to be malicious - a bug or carelessness could mean that it temporarily falls back to DHCP for some time in the boot process.

A separate VLAN (or wireless network) with the entire thing isolated and not being able to talk to anything is the way to go, but there just aren't many reasons to connect it to a network to begin with so save your time and just don't.

It doesn’t make sense to gate security updates behind a subscription paywall. People in poverty deserve device security.

Besides, this is a false dichotomy- chrome books are very cheap, but come with years of updates. Move them to Linux and it’s decades of updates.

How is this separate from the "M x N => M + N" idea of using a target intermediate language or target assembly language for compilation..?
Those two adjectives at least tell me something, that there's a racial element or a difference of religion. "Ethnic" means it could involve racism, a difference in religion, a cultural disagreement or a couple other things.

It may rule out that it's political tension or something like sports hooliganism, but even those can also be part of "ethnic tensions."
If the purpose of the co-op is to ensure that profits go to the workers and not to company owners/investors, then either you plan to fail at that purpose or you're not interesting to the investors. If the lion's share of the operating profits would go to the investors, it's no better than Uber, if the lion's share of the operating profits would go to the drivers, then what's the motivation to invest?

That's what I got out of it to. From his tone, he was completely against rent seeking.
Yes, odd article.

They define "Low food security" as "reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet". Which sounds like a typical college meal plan to me: not particularly interesting or high quality. Calling it an "epidemic" seems to be implying something much worse.
You mean where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? She's at Netflix.

Interesting enough “racial bias” and “religious conflict” are more precise descriptors of ethnic tension.
I noticed the last couple seasons that certain parts of the lawn by the curb were really active with pollinating bees. I stopped mowing that area, much to the chagrin of the city who warned me (there’s a blue law it must be shorter than 10 inches).

So now, I don’t mow that part until they warn me, then I’ll trim it with a weed trimmer but leave some clusters here and there.
Gaka-chu: a self-employed autonomous robot artist
I don't understand why a lot of people have a lawn in the first place, most don't even use the lawn (besides mowing it on a regular basis hahaha)!
The physical autonomy of robots is well understood both theoretically and practically. By contrast, there is almost no research exploring their potential economic autonomy. In this paper, we present the first economically autonomous robot -- a robot able to produce marketable goods while having full control over the use of its generated income. Gaka-chu ("painter" in Japanese) is a 6-axis robot arm that creates artistic paintings of Japanese kanjis from an autoselected keyword. By using a blockchain-based smart contract, Gaka-chu can autonomously list a painting it made for sale in an online auction. In this transaction, the robot interacts with the human bidders as a peer not as a tool. Using the blockchain-based smart contract, Gaka-chu can then use its income from selling paintings to replenish its resources by autonomously ordering materials from an online art shop, and maintain its activity by remunerating a human assistant for manual tasks such as placing canvases. We built the Gaka-chu prototype with an Ethereum-based smart contract and ran a 6-month long experiment, during which the robot painted and sold four paintings one-by-one, simultaneously using its income to purchase art supplies, human assistance, and paid initial investors. In this work, we present the results of the experiments conducted and discuss the implications of economically autonomous robots.
That's an excellent point. I painted myself into a corner here because I am letting some of my friends use the server as well. Have to gently transition them to public key usage only now.
This gets raised all the time but I just don't see it being necessary - the vast majority is happy to voluntarily provide it with an internet connection. The ones like us who fight it is a very small minority not worth spending on including modems/Sidewalk/etc in every TV.
Thank you, this was very helpful.

Making deployment easy and generic is indeed a key point I have been thinking about. Support won't be able to handle much customer-specific bespoke solutions requiring special hand-holding.

Observability will also be key. Our customers typically call us first whenever something is broken, even if 99% of the time it's their own ERP or similar that's the issue. So support needs to be able to quickly identify that the relevant integration is running as expected on our side, and be able to tell the customer what's wrong.
Carmen San Diego also.
Sounds like automating personalized sales to me. Marketeers would love to get some kind of AI capable of this. I would personally love to see those “Hi! Any questions about anything?!” bottom-right corner chat dialogues go away forever, but alas.

I hope I'm not too late in replying. If you will send me a shipping label, paid, especially if set up for a porch pick-up, you can have it. In my profile -> my site -> my email address, we can discuss details if you like.

I should probably reset the key mappings to factory default before sending it to you, unless you want to try my layout for some reason (I can send you rough notes). I didn't like theirs (made my thumbs push sideways too much). But the user manual says how to reset it.

I hope the inner box is good enough for shipping -- cardboard, not especially thin, but originally it had a bigger shipping box around it. I'm thinking, I add tape, shipping label, put outside on the right day. We can also drop it at the post office or FedEx office, but you might have to wait longer that way, until we happen to be near there (edit: health slows me down currently).

If you still prefer to pay, you can do it by reviewing my web site and providing suggestions (but not required). I don't plan to add pictures or visual design, but I do plan to consider a sans serif font later, and I hope it can be useful for some people, for some things, so suggestions welcome. Especially when considering the first link "how to read content at this site...". Another payment is if the keyboard is useful to you, after some months, I'd be glad to hear it. Or persuade DanG (dang) here to un-shadow-ban any comments that include a direct link to my site. I'll try not to post so many as when he did (oops -- I thought at the time they could be useful, but probably overdone); I think he does a good job really for the site.

We kept batches of flowering grass in our garden for bees.
Maybe I have slow growing grass. I mow every three weeks, and I feel like my neighbors do it every two. I thought weekly mowing was something mostly only seen in fictional portrayals of American fathers.
