>Probably because they didn't have to deal with a large number of numpties doing that before.

So, the government can suspend rights of the people, while they are using those rights to protest? Is it only okay when the government does it if you "agree" with it?

Convenient.

That's not a good excuse, or reason - the government willy nilly choosing to enforce and invalidate it's own restrictions and human based rights based on "political feeling."

>There were five deaths. One was from gunshot and the others were from other reasons. The fact that the deaths occurred among the insurrectionists doesn't change the fact that people actually died as a result of what happened, which from what I can tell is more than can be said about the numbskull protests in Ottawa.

While not supporting the insurrectionists/protestors, I still do not see any mention of other riots that happened during 2020 which, IMO were far more deadlier, at 25 from direct physical violence on both sides - the protesters and law enforcement.

Yeah, I just thought it was ironic at that point that a background check is needed for really paramount people. But it makes sense - it's probably some regulation requirement / sec one to verify conflict of interests.

"And let's be honest: if the world's richest man had dirt in his past that a mere "background check" would turn up, we'd clearly already know about it. "

Exactly. I just find it laudable there's an established process to bring someone on the board and it involves a background check!
A tanker that holds 80,000 pounds of kerosine will hold about 8000 pounds of LH2 in the same dimensionality. 0.07 = density of LH2, Density of water 1.0, kerosine 0.7 +/- varies with grade. So it take 10 times the cubeage plus Dewar grade insulation. At a permeant depot they will have a super refrigerator to condense boil off into LH2.

Desktop PWAs and "open as own window" shortcuts help a lot with this, letting you (from a UI perspective at least) run a web app as though it was its own application rather than within the browser.
This is possible but needs to be done with shortcuts instead of selecting the paths in the address bar:

1. Ctrl + Cmd + C to copy the folders path

2. Cmd + N to open a new Finder window

3. Shift + Cmd + G to open the "Go to folder..." menu

4. Cmd + V to paste the path

5. Enter to go to the pasted path in the new finder window

The other option is to right click the folder and open it in a new tab. But this doesn't open a new window.

>I have dealt with the rare "Oops! I deleted important data!" by restoring from backups and it has worked fine.

Usually this goes along with "Oh and the other team did some important work at the same time" so you can't just restore a backup. You either tell them to deal with it or start writing custom scripts to copy out only the data you want to restore.

A more sane solution would be soft delete for x days and after that it becomes a real delete.
I'd be curious what Japan-knowledgeable hackers say about this. The instances I remember were ones where they chose a figurehead on the exec team, usually one close to retirement, who accepts full responsibility and resigns to publicly take one for the team.

> The Romania-Chisinau line is quite old but part of its charm.

As a tourist when you have all the time in the world, I would agree it's part of the charm. When the development of your economy depends on such a neglected and terrible line, it's an unbelievable nightmare for people living in either country (Personal anecdotes support this).
I agree that the concept of "buying time" has merit. One good way to apply that would be a cap-and-trade system, with a gradually shrinking cap. Trading offsets within a cap-and-trade system avoids the criticisms I'm making.

But I see a lot of companies trumpeting use of offsets in the context of their own individual plan to achieve reduced or zero emissions. This is where the problems come in:

1. It is often presented as a a complete solution, rather than a helpful interim step. A company announces plans to offset their emissions, and then declares victory. But it is only a half victory; between the offset seller and the offset purchaser, only half of the total emissions have been addressed.

2. It removes the incentive to start developing solutions for the more difficult categories of emissions. It will take time to decarbonize, say, steel manufacturing. But we need to start developing pilot projects today. If the steel manufacturers can say "we're addressing climate change, we've purchased offsets", then no one is paying for those pilot projects.

> On window snapping: why on earth would you want to obscure your desktop with two huge panes?

Most often when you need to type something in one application basing on info from second one. Also virtual workspaces do not work that well when you have a lot of windows open, as Linux user i after use workspaces as window type category, eg I have one for IDE where I often end up with 10+ windows, and having that many workspaces would be way to difficult.

I'm little surprised that author complains about alt + ` as this is exactly how it works in gnome and it's actually really handy.
Cmd+` switches between windows of the same app, and it's actually more convenient (IMHO) than using Alt+Tab to switch between every one of your windows from every app. There are also a handful of trackpad gestures for showing all the windows in the current app or all of your windows.

1. You can get some of the tax break if you use HDHP plan + HSA. It's limited to about 7K though, because if everybody would take big tax breaks, who'd pay for those trillion dollar bills they're passing every year now?

2. US healthcare system is incredibly hostile to people trying to pay their own costs and designed to be maximally obscure and confusing. Imagine buying a car where your car dealer, tire manufacturer, window glass manufacturer and upholstery supplier bill you separately. Now imagine when you come to the dealer and ask how much the car would cost, they shrug and tell you you'd know when the bills come, just relax and sign on the dotted line. If you really insist, they could give you an estimate - something between 1K and 100K dollars - but they don't guarantee anything, it's just an estimate. And no, you can't choose the suppliers upfront or know which ones they'd use - this you'd also know only when the bills come. And no, there's no way to know when or how it happens - they bills would just show up one day as a surprise. Sounds like a nice experience? That's how the healthcare system works, day to day.

3. The frustrating part is that most of the people think it's the only way to manage it, and those that don't think that the only way to fix it is to nationalize the whole thing. I mean we can create insanely complex supply chains (think how many people cooperated on making a car? And you still can come to a single place and pay for it with a simple transaction at cost known in advance - magic!) - but somehow healthcare is where it all disappears and figuring out the separation of labor thing becomes the problem of the end user.
I have to explain this again? Howey test, per the SEC: [1]

1. Investment of Money (anything of value)

2. Common Enterprise

3. Reasonable Expectation of Profits Derived from Efforts of Others

If all are true, it's a security for US regulatory purposes. If offered to US persons, you have to go through the ordinary IPO process, with a prospectus issued under penalty of perjury and SEC registration.

Nonfungible tokens were an attempt to get around this. If each one is different, and valued separately, there's no "common enterprise". This works for Bored Ape Yacht Club. Land in a virtual world, not so much. Fractional ownership of NFTs, definitely common enterprise.

Nonfungible implies illiquid - there's no market price. Each item sells on its own, like Beanie Babies on eBay. You put your item up for sale and wait. Maybe a buyer comes along. Maybe not. NFT buyers have discovered this the hard way. Most resale attempts on OpenSea are stalled at minimum bid/asking price not reached. The minters of the tokens do great, since minting is cheap. Buyers (the suckers), not so much.

See, Mac users rarely turn the device off. It can stay on for months without issue. Laptops can sleep for weeks before they run out of power. The power button is more like a reset switch, and doesn't need to be front and center.

A lot of these first impressions are just that, first impressions, and can be quite different from feedback coming from daily users.
Because you lose all the work done since the issue happened. It's very rarely acceptable to just give up and do a full backup restore unless literally everything is gone. If there was just some bug that cause partial issues, you have to find some other way to fix it.
Correct, especially if you're in any Aviation related group or friends - you know exactly what is going on. Alaskaair generally does not want to pay competitive rates.

This is corporate whitewashing at the worst, and I am glad that the pilots have enough collective bargaining power to demand AlaskaAir to meet their demands.

I hate to suggest go on facebook, but facebook groups of pilots and general PNW aviation have tons of discussion about this, with many pilots themselves voicing comments about their opinion and experience w/ Alaskair.
The same sort of exchange is pretty common when discussing Linux and Windows as well, especially the former.

> current inflation is the result of sabotaging the supply chain

This is an often repeated misconception (signal boosted by the White House, no less), but a lot of the purported supply chain disruptions are a result of consumers flat out just consuming more stuff:

https://www.businessinsider.com/americans-spending-goods-ver...

A chip shortage can explain the cost of a car going up, and a global war can explain the cost of gas or wheat. But why is the cost of domestic beef going up? Or a cubic yard of soil?

The old Monetarist explanation is clearly the right one - there is too much consumer money in the economy. From both stimulus (much of which was initially good), but clearly interest rates have been too low for too long.
That reminds me of an idea that I sent in to Apple, via their bug reporter (you can submit suggestions).

I'm an Apple One subscriber. I only listen to Apple Music during my morning three-mile walk (45-50 minutes). The rest of the day, I'm working, and I don't listen to music, then.

I use their "Create A Station Based on This Song" feature, like Pandora. It generally works fairly well (I think Pandora works better, but they also limit skips -even for paid subscriptions).

I like to hear obscure, indie, music, from artists off the beaten path. I tend to immediately skip, when I get a song that is in my library, or that I've heard a lot (like the song used to create the station). I also tend to skip a lot, anyway, because a lot of undiscovered music is obscure for a reason.

One time, I was listening to relaxing, wordless, techno/trance, and a freaking Lady Gaga pop song plops in, like an airborne gift from a dyspeptic, incontinent, buzzard. The only possible relation to what I was listening to, was that one of her band members was maybe playing a sampler. She's a talented artist, and all that, but that was not what I wanted to hear. It was quite jarring.

Someone is selling eardrums. That was probably an AI hiccup.

In any case, my suggestion was to create "Undiscovered Music" stations, so you say "Play more songs like this one, but ones I've not heard before, and are definitely not in my library."

I would want to hear indie tracks, and songs from obscure artists. I listen to a lot of different types of music, and most of my tastes are heavily represented in the indie space. I often find it difficult to discover music that I'm not already familiar with.

I suspect that if Apple did it, they would sell out. They'd stuff these "Undiscovered Music" stations with commercial pablum; rendering the entire concept useless. They'd probably kill it, soon afterwards, because "Nobody uses this service."

The current push for "Bigger, Louder, MOAR!" is something that does not favor craftsmanship, Quality, or independence.
None of what you quoted here offers a different origin of employer-linked health insurance, and it avoids even mentioning that they were excluded from taxation. The fact that they weren't included in wage caps is just another benefit granted to employers.

> if anything, employer-based health insurance strengthened the unions' ability to negotiate for their workers.

In what way does having more that needs to be negotiated strengthen unions? You've heard the punchline without hearing the joke: why were unions prevented from negotiating pension and insurance benefits before 1949?

If you reversed the original sin of sheltering wages paid in the form of health insurance from taxes, you'd see stronger unions the next day. The biggest battle fought during the ACA war was about the possible taxation of "Cadillac" health plans, and ACA lost.

That wasn't really the point. He was surprised that this tax-free situation is not addressed and I just gave a (of many) reason why they might not want to change that.

I think your new point is optimistic at best. You would have to switch trains quite often and the time it takes would probably weigh heavier than the price. Especially between EU countries, within country flying is not really that big in EU.
I don't live in Germany, but I'm pretty sure they'll be another train available. Probably in about 30 minutes (or less if the train is so late that the next train has caught up with it). The inconvenience is having to get off of one train and onto another.

I started as a MacPorts user, and moved because it managed to break itself about quarterly over the two years or so that I used it, usually in some way weird enough that it was easier to just remove all my packages (rm the whole directory) and start over than try to fix it. HomeBrew's done that zero times for me, in about eight years.

I've extensively used Portage (gentoo), rpm (Fedora, Mandrake), and dpkg/apt (Debian and Ubuntu), and MacPorts, plus put in a smaller amount of time with several others. HomeBrew is, overall, my favorite.

[EDIT] And this in particular:

> But yeah, I think both Homebrew and MacPorts still fall behind Linux / xBSD packaging systems in terms of the number of packages they have

HomeBrew has failed to have a package the fewest times of any I've used. AFAIK only Arch and Portage even come close.
