I just tested the Wikipedia home page in five different text-mode browsers. All the scripts you listed appear just fine. (Granted, none of them display comically large headings using ANSI block-pixel art like the mockup in the article, but multilingual bitmap fonts exist.)
I've read the article. The pain points exist, but they are not insurmountable. I'd go as far as to say they are being a bit dramatic.
I don't think there should be armed "protesters" breaking into the Capitol when Congress is working to certify the election of the "wrong" guy according to the protesters.

While the instigators were a bit too hopelessly incompetent to really qualify for "insurrection" in my book, it was a dangerous mob attack on our central governing body. Absolutely unacceptable and should never be allowed to happen again.
It probably would make sense to have controlled and well-managed ventilation in airtight houses. It'd still be more energy efficient to heat and cool at a particular ventilation point rather than have what traditional houses have... a lot of leakage everywhere.
> but it's also extremely NVidia that they're doing it all on their own.

Having a lead in chip design is their literal bread and butter. I think it's extremely "publicly traded company" more than "NVidia". Do you have an example of a company releasing an open source version of their secret sauce (foundation of their profits)?

Well my problem isn’t really the storage, per se, but rather the management of it. I don’t really want to spend time and build my own UI for this. If for whatever reason I want to toggle has_seen_welcome_popup for a certain user, I don't want to connect to the prod DB with a client either.

I can definitely do this on my own, but a SaaS with a nice UI just makes sense for this use case.

We have only O'Neill's word that Carrier's view are "considered far out".

Probably most peers just don't really care whether there was ever a walking, talking Jesus. One thing literally everybody agrees on is that all the historically significant development of Christianity happened after there was certainly no Jesus walking around expressing opinions as to how it should go.

There is not a hint of scholarship around whether anything He supposedly said was anything He did say, vs. being made up from whole cloth by Paul and his cohort, long after CE 37. Literally everybody agrees that the overwhelming majority of writings promoted as from that period are total fabrications, and that most of what might have been written then has been corrupted beyond all repair.
Being able to vote right or far right wing politics is a sign of mental or moral deficiency. “F*ck you, I got mine” isn’t a philosophy in consonance with a major religion no matter how often they say it is. Regions full of these people are just places to be avoided.

There’s a name for people who are willing to compromise their morals for money. There’s also names for people lacking morals. Don’t be these people.
I really would like to know the solution for how to prevent nuclear meltdown induced by a hostile airstrike to the cooling system, generators, electric grid, or the reactor itself.

For the pedantic nuclearphiles, it doesn't have to be an airstrike. Domestic terrorism is a real thing as well.

> I think mathematicians don't yet understand the power of mathematical notation and what it does. We use it, but we don't understand it

I think this is where a computer science (but really, "computologist" mindset) differs from a typical mathematical one; us CS (computer-software) people do understand this power very well, at the least it's why I'm interested in CS (computer 'science').

> It's almost as if the symbols are doing some of the thinking for you.

It's quite literally the symbols doing some of the thinking for you, specifically the symbols are doing the computing or calculating part of thinking.
We are talking about the future here. Easy to use certificate authorities would be available if it came to this. It would be part of the software ecosystem, part of mobile operating systems for example. Your cert would be registered with google and, for example, a camera app would use an OS level API to sign an image when it is taken. Anyone who wants to verify that it's your image could check against your public key registered with google or whatever well known, secure, trusted service.

IQ tests for employment are not inherently illegal. It’s only illegal if whatever you’re testing has no bearing on the job so as to be used as a proxy for discrimination.

So a job that involves complex problem solving in unique situations would be perfectly reasonable to have an IQ test qualification. But not for something like sweeping the floors or working the assembly line in a meat processing plant.

You’re not too far away. A simple next step is to directly connect me with an advisor who uses ProjectionLab. I bet financial planning is a competitive market and advisors would be willing to use your tool as a unique selling point, or even pay you for the leads you supply.

Another bundling is to help users execute on their projections, similar to how https://www.helloplaybook.com does with tax advantaged investing.

More generally, I think there is an opportunity to market the product not as a tool (“ProjectionLab builds the best financial projections”) but as a solution to a problem (“ProjectionLab lets you retire early/plan to pay down your debt/buy a house”).

I know you’re doing this as a side project and maybe what I’m suggesting is too startup-y. Best of luck either way, it’s a really great product.
Apologies if I was unclear. I meant 'conflate' as in 'treat as equivalent'.

As for landlords perhaps wanting to be treated as equivalent to property owners, I think the previous poster gave a suitable example of why this might be the case. In many places landlords are being targeted politically (rightly or wrongly). It would be to their political advantage if all reference to them was conflated with regular owner occupiers by use of the term 'property owners'.
Orality & Literacy by Walter Ong: read it in grad school, opened my eyes to how writing and technology in general feed back into societies and can change them. Influenced my work in the early web in the 1990s.

A variety of books and essays by Mark Poster [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Poster]. Fairly left on the political spectrum. Marxist analyses of technology and information technology specifically and how they can both benefit as well as oppress.

danah boyd [https://www.danah.org/] I enjoy her analysis & criticism of technology from a sociological perspective. She gave a great talk at one of the O'Reilly etech or web 2.0 conferences around 2009–2010 about how we were all building these great social media services with zero grasp of sociological implications. Like. By 2010 there was ~20-25 years of people being shitty online to one another in one form or another across The Source, Compuserve, AOL, Usenet, Fidonet, etc before everything shifted to the web. There were, and are, basic considerations to take into account when building an online "community" and yet time after time people are shocked, shocked to learn that people can be terrible online and that the services we build can amplify these behaviors massively.

I didn't find McLuhan nearly as useful as I was taught he'd be as the online world evolved into the web world. Prescient, yes, but I think moreso in a cheerleader for how great and wonderful the new world would be.
> some active management stuff, or do they have a robo-investing option (I can't remember.)

IIRC it's robo-investing. I got a pitch from them, and it was mostly "high expense ratio funds are bad, we put you in low cost funds with expense ratio of < .10% to save you money".

"OK... but your expense fee is .90% of funds under management - this puts me at approximately 1%/year in fees."

"But we're actively rebalancing 2x per year and we do tax loss harvesting".

I was close to giving them a small $ to manage/test with, but backed out.

No, most people do not live within a market that has these problems. Yes, something like 80% live in a metro area, but this isn't applicable to all metro areas. In the US, maybe the top 5ish cities. Even Chicago, for example, has tons of undeveloped, or underdeveloped land. It's not even close to Toronto or NYC. For most people, moving a little farther from work is what they need. A Chicago suburb commute isn't even close to the same thing as LA or NYC.
It was a mob literally storming the primary political establishment of the country. I agree that there was zero hope of overturning the election, but this was massive symbolic blow at the peaceful transfer of power. I'll concede it was sensationalized to a significant degree - like the cop that was originally reported to had been killed by rioters, only for media outlets to quietly edit when the medical examiner found his stroke was unrelated. And articles writing that 4 cops died due to the riot when in reality they committed suicide months later [1]. But even if coverage was slanted, the basis of the events are definitely a "big deal" to put it mildly.

What Facebook should do in response I'm more ambivalent about. People forget that we're seeing this with the benefit of hindsight. Holding a rally disapproving an election result is not an unusual thing. Plenty of people marched in the streets chanting "Not my president" following Trump's 2016 victory. How are websites supposed to know in advance which ones are going to turn violent? Furthermore, without clear evidence that Trump directed this mob, banning him would set a precedence ripe for abuse: have some of your own supporters commit crimes under the guise of being egged on by your opponents to get said opponents banned from the public square.

FTA:

> It was to determine how well the HRVs

How many of those homes tested installed a proper mechanical ventilation system?

Anyone that is serious about air tightness will tell you that you need to manage the air transfer with an HRV or an ERV so it's filtered, controlled, and avoids these problems.

---

I found the study you are quoting:

https://pureadmin.qub.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/31281945/C...

Results from the occupant interviews suggest inadequate
knowledge of the ventilation system, with all Code 4 homes
stating ‘not sure’ when asked about various features of the
MVHR system, including the current settings, changing of
filters, boost mode function and location of controls.

Knowledge of the MVHR system was considerably
lacking in Code 4 homes. All households stated that they
did not know where the controls for the system were
located, or how to change the settings.

They asked people who moved into "airtight" social housing if they understood how the systems worked to keep the air moving and people said no.

No wonder they had worse air quality...
If you want kids, sure. I have one, she was born when I was 30 and it’s been great.

You think random strangers coming up to you to question you about your religion is awesome?

Not entirely sure what to say to that. Maybe you’d have a nice life living in a theocracy…

As for your question, google (or search engine of your choice) is your friend.
it's very tiring to continually hear my existence referred to as a "culture war fight." you're not wrong, so I haven't downvoted you, it's just.. depressing. I pass very well, everyone knows me as a woman and most don't know I'm trans. I keep a quiet life in a progressive area, so I'm mostly unaffected by the culture war. but realizing the fight is about me, even though I'm not a fighter.
> Then it's even easier to move.

Moving requires finding a home somewhere that they can afford. The fact that they’ve been subjected to rising rents rather than a financial windfall like nearby homeowners… makes that far more difficult for them

They never started collecting actual citizenship/residency data on house sales until a year or two ago. I remember one analysis out of UBC that assume foreign owner if they has a "foreign sounding name".

From what I've seen, some neighborhoods are high, but it's at the margin. Canadians snorfing up massive amounts of debt in order to acquire more property is a bigger driver.

How about we have our peers actually read our work when it matters so much, or we just accept peoples idiosyncrasies and gently nudge them as we see appropriate.

Why is it that people like to run towards the Government to fix everything. Baseball is a commercial concern that needs to survive on its merits.

DMCA 512(f) provides a penalty for misrepresentation; however, it is quite difficult to actually prove such things unless the plaintiff is very, very stupid (in Latin: pro se) or obviously acting with malice.

For example, if the thing you're taking down does use your content, but it falls under fair use, you can still get away with taking it down. There is no objective test for fair use and 512(f) does not mandate one; the criteria is just that you merely considered fair use. And since fair use is a bottomless pit of grey areas, you basically can't get a 512(f) ruling out of a legitimate copyright owner. It only catches the kinds of people who, say, pretend they're Bungie so they can file DMCA takedowns Bungie can't retract in Bungie's name.
It's interesting to see Mozilla's public stance on privacy and their responses to this kind of thing, and at the same time see which settings in Firefox get mysteriously reset to default each update. The latest update re-checked "search engines" in the address bar suggestions settings. You know, the one option that sends everything you type into the address bar to the default search engine? I wonder how much they were paid to re-enable that one.
You want to control your ventilation. Making a loose house just means you get ventilation, but not on your terms. HRV/ervs in a tight house allows you to ventilate your house, how you want, where you want. A loose house might be ventilating your house through insulation filled with dust and rat poop. You will never know.
To some people, using non-gendered language is offensive. I recall a woman who got upset because someone else referred to her as "they". She was offended because her profile picture was very clear. She felt the other person was making it seem as if it was unclear whether she was a man or a woman.

It's worth pointing out that Kyle who goes by Aphyr, not Jepsen, which is the tool he wrote for this testing.
The abounding skeptics don't seem to have any specific criticisms. Overall it seems like a good idea to reuse the heat-to-electricity machinery and grid connection of existing coal plants, since that's a good fraction of the capital required.
In theory if you get just the right number of air exchangers such that the same amount of air moves through as it would with a 'loose' house, you get the same airflow with almost none of the convective heat loss/gain.

This is however, very much in theory, since as far as I can tell we're still in the early stages of figuring out how to do airtight houses well. My home was built in ~2006 and has an unhealthy CO2 build-up if I close the windows, since it has no active ventilation whatsoever.
Yes they're right about it. Your first link says that water-cooled reactors can produce steam up to about 300 °C, which is accurate.

The hottest outlet temperature today from a nuclear reactor is about 1000 °C from HTTR in Japan, but that's fairly exotic.

There have been hotter outlets back in the NERVA nuclear rocket days. Also exotic.

This isn’t true in all markets. Higher labor costs (for instance, caused by higher rents…) makes it more expensive to construct new homes. That makes any existing homes more valuable, potentially even accounting for depreciation
Exactly, it just has to touch the metadata, unless the data page format has changed, which the developers try hard to avoid (successfully so far).
The WSJ is owned by the Murdochs. If anything, you should hope they spin off the news business, and keep the opinion side. Sadly, I suspect they acquired the former to lend an air of legitimacy to the latter.
