What do you believe is not childish in an adult saying they are unable to control themselves and that they need someone to do it for them?

Here's what Alexis de Tocqueville (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_de_Tocqueville and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_America) says about it:

> "What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish?

There are some nations in Europe whose inhabitants think of themselves in a sense as colonists, indifferent to the fate of the place they live in. The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved. They are so divorced from their own interests that even when their own security and that of their children is finally compromised, they do not seek to avert the danger themselves but cross their arms and wait for the nation as a whole to come to their aid. Yet as utterly as they sacrifice their own free will, they are no fonder of obedience than anyone else. They submit, it is true, to the whims of a clerk, but no sooner is force removed than they are glad to defy the law as a defeated enemy. Thus one finds them ever wavering between servitude and license.

When a nation has reached this point, it must either change its laws and mores or perish, for the well of public virtue has run dry: in such a place one no longer finds citizens but only subjects."
Market trends to me are essentially a combination of mood swings and adversarial networks.

My guess is Musk and a few key players are acting in a logical way and the rest of the price action is made up of emotional response.

It’s anyones guess what the endgame here is, but one thing is for sure, Musk muddying the waters spells trap to me. I’m swimming the other way.
That’s not how it works. Not even remotely. That’s how your brain has decided things function and your explanation has merely been good or functional for you. It’s not logical.
>The waste is secure

People don't remember the Hanau scandal of the 80s/90s.

It was the 'Atomic village' of Germany, home to the two largest nuclear companies of Germany (one was, funnily, called Nukem). Their managers were accused of taking bribes, selling radioactive waste for weapons, and mislabeling atomic waste for cheaper disposal (including just chucking it into the sea!). It's one of the reasons why the early Green party was so anti-nuclear, there was no trust.

Atomic waste can be securely stored, but there will always be corners to be cut to make a quick buck.

There's a German language summary here: https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/hanau-der-anfang-vom-en...

It’s also possible that they did consider it, but upon investigation it entailed more work than they could justify.

I do think including more context about what will be destroyed by the action would be great, and probably pragmatic, but… If typing out the name of the repository isn’t enough, providing context might not be either.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like one of those “Whatever, we’ve got a million other things to do” situations. It might get a handful of inquiries about it per year while a dozen other features get hammered with attention and requests from paying customers.

Again, not saying they can’t improve it. Just giving them the benefit of the doubt here and proposing that it’s possible that it isn’t better for legitimate reasons.
You are overstating the value of ‘native’ development and understating the cost of developing natively on multiple platforms. What capabilities are exclusive to native apps in the minimal well defined sandbox provided on portable devices?

You are generalising about attitudes of businesses who are concerned with return on investment, an obvious priority that I shouldn’t have to point out.

The reputation you mention is just an opinion based on inherent bias not shared by all. If you were to choose at random 10 reasonably well performing apps on the store you could in no way tell if they were developed ‘natively’ or not.

React native is compiled into native code, by definition it is ‘native’. It is not running in a virtual box or a web browser.
I could get used to that, but the letters and space bar seem to be off center. It looks like they added a column or two of keys to the right of the enter key.

> Lets not pretend we are saints. The empire that needs to go today isn't the soviet union or [russia]. It's NATO. The greatest source of destruction, death, instability around the world.

This would have played a decade ago, or even after Russia's quasi-covert military actions in Ukraine in 2014 that were easily relativized away. But these days, tens of thousands of humans in mass graves and billions worth of destroyed civilian infrastructure say otherwise.

The USian economic empire is a malevolent force, for sure. But Russia's industrial genocide and concomitant domestic nosedive into totalitarianism is on a completely different level, on a scale that we thought was a relic of the 20th century. Equating the two demonstrates a staggeringly foolish lack of perspective.

Update: 2 more anecdotes

4) Brahmin friend of mine at work. Brilliant fellow. Solid decent chap overall. I tell him about this article I read about how in some city, a non-Brahmin girl wasn't allowed to do Bharat Natyam (a classical Indian dance form that is widely taught) on some stage because she wasn't a Brahmin. I guess traditionally only Brahmin girls were allowed to perform it. Turns out he agrees with this decision.

5) I'm eating South Indian food with a colleague in Chennai (I suppose he was a Brahmin, but am not 100% sure). I love South Indian food. I comment to him how good the food is. He says, it's not as good as it used to be because in the past only Brahmins were allowed to cook at that restaurant, but now they allow anyone to cook. He knows I'm not a Brahmin, and still he thinks it's okay to say such things to my face.

Battery manufacturing, at least with the chemistries we have available right now, won't scale to the point where we can store several weeks worth of power in the foreseeable future.

China was so ahead of the curve when it comes to private companies collecting and mining data. Ant Group is a big example of that, which was stopped by the government (power struggle or not?).

When it comes to US, Americans are blind that they are being tracked too, while it isn't clear if China's so called score systems affect the average citizen, credit scores in US aren't any better.

Also the tech industry banning all kind of political dissidents, them losing their jobs, etc... even a potential employer Googling you doesn't sound right to me.

Especially with Ramdev who's made an entire conglomerate in his name making all sorts of stuff from detergents to instant noodles to medicines, all of which use his reputation to promote their "healthy" status despite a lot of the ingredients just being bog standard and the same as any other product on the market and often plain inferior.

Anyone know if breath is also connected to specific body parts? Really crude contrived example to illustrate what I mean: deep breathing affecting the left arm, shallow breathing affecting the right arm?

I always felt there must be some connection but never really understood how to even investigate. I definitely noticed that certain deep breathing was extraordinarily useful for alleviating IBS symptoms... basically the physical expansion of the lungs (contracting the diaphragm) clearly physically pressed upon the intestinal tract and massaged it (this is personal experience, anecdotal)... I have always wondered if this principle was extendable further?

Everything I've seen about the lungs is always about what it does for oxygen/co2 regulation in the blood... feels like this really underestimates whats going on
Here [1] are statistics on usage of natural gas in Germany.

Roughly 1/3 is used for heating, 1/3 is used by the industry. None of those can be replaced by electricity in the short run, nuclear or otherwise. Probably only part of that could even replaced by electricity in the long run. Only 14% is used for power generation, but this part is for the "we need more power right now for current demand, and not more power in 10 hours after we've started the nuclear plant".

> Replacing 12% of the electricity supply with something other than Russian gas, along with the other measures being taken, is enough to eliminate 100% of Russian gas imports.

Completely wrong, sorry...

Totally agree - cascade delete is such a nice thing - until it is not.

Technically you want to delete dependent stuff, but in this case this seems like overstepping on development side.
> 3) I now live and work in the U.S. A new hire, Indian, joins. Visits my office one day. Tells me he left India because he hates the caste system. I start warming to him. A little while later informs me that he's a very high Brahmin. Not an ordinary Brahmin, mind you, a high Brahmin.

All the super-progressive Indians I know in the U.S. are Brahmins. What's up with that?
Sure, but that doesn’t mean that I’d be thanking you.

These arguments about computer crime law are always the same, and people with your view always shoot themselves in the foot with analogies like this. This is not a pre-existing social expectation. If someone comes to my front door, tells me that it’s unlocked, and tells me that they were trying peoples front doors for the intellectual thrill, there is a 0% chance that I’m an reacting positively. I challenge you to find any material proportion of well-adjusted non-nerds that don’t agree with me.
> Intel BayTrail chipsets are well supported by some distros such as Fedora nowadays

Sorry, I meant Braswell. At one point, Installing other OS on Braswell damaged its speakers[1] which are now resolved with latest Mr.Chromebox's firmware + OS level fixes. There are still issues with Microphone even with GalliumOS.

Also ChromeOS has Chrome Multi Touch (CMT) touchpad driver which is much better than default driver and are included in Gallium OS, But since GalliumOS is not developed further it's better to go for other OS.

> Does the ChromeOS hardware come with additional quirks?

I understand that you question was related to Intel BayTrail, But I'm using it to mention that there are certain hardware deviations w.r.t Chromebooks like inclusion Google Security Chip (GSC)[2].

> not necessarily meant to replace exercise

I'm hoping someone can answer a question to which I've never heard a really satisfactory answer: Why does human health benefit from exercise whereas any kind of simple machine wears out with exercise? For example, doing a hundred stretches per day improves my health whereas stretching an elastic band 100 times per day will cause it to lose elasticity and soon destroy it. So what's the low-level mechanism by which exercise improves health in people but not in simple machines?
That’s just the most glaring example. But beyond that I think another issue with our system is that having so many forces pull in so many directions makes it hard to have a coherent long-term plan or response to crises.
Reminds me of our own quest to stop users from deleting their entire projects by accident in our product.

1st iteration: delete button with a confirmation box (standard stuff). Users click through the box in autopilot mode and still delete their entire projects.

2nd iteration: someone came up with an idea: confirmation box + an additional checkbox (if it isn't checked, the delete button is disabled). Users still manage to delete projects by accident. When we asked them how that happened (we've set up so many hurdles!), the user says, just like in the article, that they thought they were deleting a different (test) project.

3rd iteration: I suggested showing the number of objects in the project (just like suggested in the article) so that the user knew they aren't deleting a test project.

I moved on to a different project since, but the saga probably continues.
I respect that a lot. Thanks for replying. :)
Devolving power to many smaller regional entities can offer a kind of open corruption that would be hard to pull off at a national level without attracting attention.

Interesting article quantifying the effects of caste endogamy: https://razib.substack.com/p/the-character-of-caste?s=r

> In contrast to these cases, Indian endogamy has maintained discernible genetic differences even within the same village for thousands of years. In 2009, geneticist David Reich estimated that the Vyasa community of South India had been genetically isolated from its neighbors for 2,000 years. Endogamy rates were 99% per generation at a minimum.

$1/min = paying for the privilege

My kids’ old preschool must have read Freakonomics and instead charged $5/min. My wife once fell asleep and was charged $90 for being 18 min late (I got a call at 6). At least it wasn’t $5/min/kid (2 kids).

Mostly, if parents were running late, they’d ask another parent to check out their kid and watch them for a few.
I’m 39 so not far behind.

If you’re working only for health insurance the question you should ask yourself is what would you do if health insurance was free?

You have the money problem covered, this is huge. You could work in anything that doesn’t pay!

You could do charity, volunteering, teaching. you could get behind a sports team if that’s your thing, you could get competitive at some game. You could get involved in politics. You could open a bar or an art gallery. You could try and live abroad, grow vegetables or learn how to paint, sew, or make things.

You could swim in the sea every day and make octopus friends like the dude in the movie. You could learn how to make movies.

People I know built an ice rink in their backyards for their kids to become hockey players. My cousin went from professional waterpolo player to coaching to marketing and now he works in startups in argentina.

The midlife crisis is about finding other things to do that you find fulfilling besides making money. It’s not very hard but you need to do some work on yourself if you don’t know what you would find rewarding.

Also the awesome thing about being a software engineer is that you can apply your skills to anything cited above. Like Linus Torvalds who made an open source software for logging his scuba dives.

If your depression is what gets in the way, it’s a bit of a catch 22, cause it’s likely that doing something else that you find rewarding will get you out of depression.

Oh and don’t mock the guys who get a Porsche or a boat. Spending is a very effective way to go through the crisis. The “fuck it, I’d just do it” mindset is the right approach.

Disney is the rightsholder. They are free to do with this property as they please, including shutting it down completely with no hope of revival. No one else has this right, except as licensed by Disney.

The fact that it was shut down does not change copyright law, which these people were violating.
That's somewhat the conclusion I was coming to as I was thinking through the question.

And yes, Titan / cold atmosphere would make for highly-efficient thermal gradients.
Why do you think so? To me the argument sounds like:

> no one died of radiation, since they were evacuated. The people who did die, because of the evacuation, shouldn’t count because they didn’t die from the radiation. The evacuation wasn’t necessary, which is proven since no one died from radiation.

And the notion that more people would have died from the radiation if they didn’t evacuate is just ignored. Well, no one died in the fire. The only people that died did because they jumped from windows. But that no one died in the fire proves that the fire wasn’t dangerous and they didn’t need to jump in the first place.

I agree it would be nice but it would also be a boon for bad actors who want to manipulate the system. Reddit now closely guards its algorithms (it didn't used to) to make it more difficult to game the system. For every honest curious developer who wants to vet the system, there are plenty more people out to spread miss-information.
