The acceptable conditions for "workers in the tunnel performing regular maintenance" and "a continuous stream of random people" are pretty different. Probably >10x less requirement for fresh air when >100x fewer people are breathing it. Ambient humidity might be lower, and even if it isn't the temperature only has to be workable rather than comfortable or at ambient. Worst case, you could shut everything down and let it cool off before sending people in.

Certain emergencies would also be much easier to handle without people, like nitrogen purging a fire. Realistically I don't think you'd want to shut down the whole tunnel and wait for hours when you need to fix a problem, but it might work if there aren't many problems. It might work for routine maintenance if it's utilized like most packing facilities- deliveries go out in waves, with packing etc in between.
Boy there’s a pattern here huh
That was the worst one on the list in my opinion.

Very untrustworthy
To start Florida has a corporate income tax (~5.5%) and a sales tax (~6%), neither of which Disney has to pay in their autonomous zone. They only have to pay property tax. They also don't have to adhere to any developmental regulations (other than ones they impose on themselves, as they are the governing body) or related expenses.

Think Six Flags gets such perks?
I have a friend of mine who works for the city and he's been able to go into the tunnels. He was working on a big repair project on one because it flooded--they were sealing it and pumping the water out.
Governments exist to protect those, who cannot protect themselves. If you do not give the government power to balance execution of human rights by restricting some of them in reasonable ways, the government will fail to protect vulnerable minorities and eventually your democracy will be destroyed by those, who will exploit the power of media to promote their agenda and to attack people, who have different ancestry, beliefs or do not fit in that agenda in other ways. The government should not remain unchecked, of course, so voters must have the power to replace them in a democratic process, that’s it. Nobody invented yet a better system, that actually could work.
I thought it was about a comma? But the book discusses all kinds of punctuation.
Very interesting comment, but one thing I don't get is the sports one. Why would lower participation in youth sports lead to a contraction of commercial sports? Does low youth participation in making TV shows hurt the market for consuming them?
Hmm not really, the only thing is the default http client that has no time out which is the case in many languages. The only issue I had was about idle connection and DNS resolution.

And the ticket you show does not show any issues on the Go side.
> Can you explain this a bit more. What is your definition of short term and by investments im assuming equities. Generally for a less than 5 years the advice is not to invest downpayment money in risk assets.

A down payment is different then closing costs. The money you put down on the house goes into the house. So effectively you retain the value of the downpayment in the equity of your house. So it is not "lost".

The closing costs are the costs of actually getting the loan. That is money you spend in order to get the loan. That money doesn't go anywhere except into taxes, bank fees, real state fees, titling, etc etc. So that is money that simply 'evaporates'.

You can use that money for purposes other then buying a mortgage.

When deciding to rent vs buy the argument for buying a home is that you get equity in the home, were as with renting that money is gone for ever.

So say you spend 10,000 on closing costs and make payments of 3000 dollars a month. Out of that payment the vast majority goes to taxes, insurance, and interest payments. You may only end up with 300 dollars in actually equity.

Versus

You spend 3000 dollars a month on rent, make zero equity, and get to keep your 10000 dollars.

So if you live in a house for just 3 years then sell it... You might get 10,800 in actual equity in your house.

So over the course of 3 years you only actually earned 800 dollars.

Is that 800 dollars more or less then what you could of gotten if you invested that 10 grand into something?

Most people assume that buying a house is a no-brainer because over the years the value of the house rises. So even if you don't put much money into the equity you can still earn a sizable profit selling it.

But that is only true if there is no bubble and people can afford to buy your house in the future.

Really whether or not to buy a house ends up being a math problem. Were do you want to be and what are the chances of making money by renting vs buying.

If you are planning on living somewhere for 10 or 20 years then closing costs end up incidental and you win by buying pretty much no matter what.
At least the oat milk brand I like to drink (Alpro) has exactly the same amount of calories as normal cow milk, which makes kinda sense, as they use additional oil to get to the identical fat content :D

So replacing it will not change anything in that regard, we just must be aware that (any) milk is (liquid) food and not a drink. Same problem as with softdrinks or fruit juices.

Anecdata: I regularly drank (cow) milk as a child and now I'm over 2 meters in height. But of course correlation with n=1 is not causation, and I'm sure many people here are equally large without a drop of milk. :D
> I'm not sure why choice of programming language is such a heated topic.

Because the market identifies job suitability by years of experience with a particular tool, so the popularity (in the market) of tooling a programmer has experience with is intimately tied to their job opportunities and financial prospects.

If you are an “X programmer“, attacks on X are attacks on your livelihood. Conversely, if there is an abundance of Y programmers, convincing people that X, which far fewer are proficient in but where you are one of them, is superior for some high-value domain, is enhancing your livelihood.

You’ve seen informercials exaggerating the negatives of alternatives while hyping a product in order to sell it? Well, while it's framed as being about tooling that's one step removed, that's basically what programmers are doing in language flamewars.
> Self-hosting wallets are impractical so while GLO can be self-hosted we should expect the vast majority of wallets to be hosted by exchanges.

this has always been the endgame btw. Replace the banks with worse-banks (exchanges) that don't even pretend to be fair to their customers and screw them over in every possible way.

The coin itself is nothing novel. Money printing to do UBI. Stablecoin with questionable reserves (a la Tether). Exchanges do the KYC (because the global poor all have a Binance account). It's actually much worse than Worldcoin in terms of privacy. It is also unclear what prevents the exchanges from simply inventing a lot of people.
Will do! Keeping passwords simple and avoiding 2FA forces us to not collect any sensitive information but honestly that's a good thing. I don't want to have to implement all data protection regulation controls on a recipe website.
Some clarification on what you mean would be great.

When I look at their organization on Github I see quite a few active projects e.g. "Sharq" - SHARQ Server is an flexible, rate limited queuing system based on the SHARQ Core library and Redis. (https://github.com/plivo/sharq-server) as well as client packages in quite a few languages.

Beyond that the documentation you referenced clearly points out that FreeSwitch (https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch) is the telephony engine (https://web.archive.org/web/20130314113846/http://docs.plivo...) and the install script from the docs shows that their roots are in Pilvo being a Python web app (https://github.com/plivo/plivoframework/blob/master/scripts/...). I also see a few Django applications in their repositories as well.

Thus, they open sourced their software. Are they open sourcing all of their software? Likely not. It could be that they open sourced much of their code and then got no contributions.

If they weren't receiving any contributions in alignment with their development, there would be no value for them to continue to have that distraction from running their business. It could also be that they didn't have the resources to _maintain_ external facing repositories, issues, and the communities around them.

Providing a more clear explanation of your expectations would help get you the best answer.
This sounds a little rose tinted to me. I personally think for simpler tasks, much more information is available these days compared to older times. There's many resources on how to grow a potato (and other things) on the Internet.

For other tasks, some things have simply become a lot more complicated to work on. Electronics were a lot simpler in older times, for instance; swapping out a surface mount quad flat package will require a lot more "finesse" than swapping out a 1960s capacitor. Cars too have gotten more electronics and software. Despite this, there are definitely still people that have the skills to repair modern electronics and cars. (I will say that these types are often hampered by manufacturers that seem hostile to the idea of users being able to practically repair devices, hence the "right to repair" movement being a thing these days.)
Just stop. Stop printing shitcoins, they are worthless and cannot be the basis of a UBI system. Why would anyone buy them? They will -> 0 like everything else. It’s all scams.

Have a think about how you can create value, trade that value for sats (a neutral store of value) and distribute sats if you want a UBI system. The tech exists today, but one would need to actually create value rather than minting it out of nothing.
Seems like we've come far enough to understand that doing nothing and conserving our way out of this problem isn't viable. The time for engineering is upon us.

Moreover, everything on the website implies that Actual was a high-end, exactingly designed product for discerning, well-off people. But it was priced like general-audience commodity SaaS. My guess is that most subscribers would have been more than willing to pay, say, 20 dollars a month instead of 4, particularly for something that has "saving you lots of money" as a core value proposition.

Sorry, that's true, I didn't mean that literally no trans people (or gay people, black people, etc) use non-standard pronouns. I meant that it has nothing to do with their being gay or trans. Certainly some people may happen to be trans and also happen to use those pronouns.
Very interesting. whats the use case of this?
Why would they? There's nothing consuming the oxygen. You don't need scuba gear to go spelunking. The only issue is removing heat, and you probably don't need much airflow to do that.
Building a Programming Language taught by the creator of Lua
I avoided that on purpose: we are so trained to find answers on click that we forgot how and why search. If you are interested and you look for you'll see that some filters bubble around you have made you only see a certain narrative. Looking for something else, you'll break the bubble discovering on your own something new, something you do not expect.

Anyway, few starting points:

- the famous, for those who have searched official sources and collected evidence along years to grab that when needed in the future, intervention to the European Council from the May 26, 2010 just an year after the H1N1 pandemic declaration: https://assembly.coe.int/CommitteeDocs/2010/20100126_Stateme... or if you prefer the press https://www.pharmatimes.com/news/eu_to_probe_pharma_over_fal...
you might also like some other sources like the British Medical Journal https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.c2912 for the pdf https://www.bmj.com/bmj/section-pdf/186584?path=/bmj/340/775...

- something from a bit more past https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/product-information/p... while just in the meantime something have already emerged https://doi.org/10.1086/652719 and just check the press at that time https://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/12/weekinreview/greetings-ki...

Is it enough to stimulate your appetite and dig yourself? If you do for all pandemic declaration I cited you'll find the same press coverage just-before, during, after, same patterns and same scandals. Again from OFFICIAL, governmental sources, of course.

If you dig a bit more you'll discover various WHO publications about how flu vaccines, vaccines in general are the future of drug BUSINESS because they target healthy people, so the vastest cohort of consumers of drugs possible concluding that those will the the future earning for Big Pharma.

You really have to dig yourself though because you'll see how hard is finding things without the right keywords and so how easy is to convince even skilled and acculturated people of something thanks to modern way of "consuming" news. Only with that discovering you'll start to dig in anything else.

For instance just to add something "hot" right now: try digging about Ukraine, you can start from https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/e/7/233896.pdf and https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html after having read the old DNI report 2004 (who also talk about pandemics) https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/Global%20Trends_Mapping%...

If you put your house in the acoustic shadow of a tall cinder block wall with a row of trees behind it, you can deflect a great deal of that noise. Build it for shade, just not from the sun.
Whats scary to me is that before the elites needed other non elites to be bodyguards/administrators/army/muscle for them to help avoid that, and they at least had to trickle down to their henchmen to keep in power. What happens when they have automation for that?
As I understand, the reason why children are encouraged to drink milk is mostly about calcium. Many milk alternatives now have the same or more calcium per litre as cow's milk. When you say "growth" is this about bone (calcium) or muscle (protein) growth? In my experience, protein per litre is generally lower for milk alternatives.
9p won't work for web apps. Personally I think we just need a small layer on top of standard HTTP for most use cases. It's really not a very hard technical problem, we just need to agree on a protocol.

But it's a chicken-egg situation. App developers aren't going to develop against a protocol that no one uses, and no one's going to use a protocol that doesn't have any apps.
In "Magic the Gathering Old School 7 Points Singleton" you play the card game Magic the Gathering but only with cards printed in the first 2 years (93/94) and only maximum 1 copy of each in your deck. And power cards are limited to 7 points according to a table found here https://ligaoldschoolmadrid.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/7-point...

A wonderful nostalgic way to play the game.
The Netherlands begins education about sex and sexuality in primary school and it's not only been shown to lower the incidence of sexual abuse – as children can identify it when it happens to them and are more able to communicate with others to get help – but it also lowers the rate of teen pregnancy and STI infection. The idea that anyone would be against age-appropriate education of children about body autonomy, their anatomy, and their sexuality is mystifying to me.

I have my doubts about such recommendations; aside from the influence of the dairy lobby, how many such nutrition guidelines account for high-quality non-dairy alternative sources of protein and calcium?

Soy is not exactly a new thing in the history of humans. In fact some of the most populous regions on earth have been eating it widely for a very long time so it seems pretty low down on the list of fertility risk factors to be honest.
I can practically feel that cut off capital A in my arms and chest.
I think the focus on cows is kind of ridiculous. Our world's natural balance before humans included vast numbers of ruminants over vast expanses of the world. (e.g. huge populations of forest buffalo in Europe, vast Mammoth and Bison herds in North America).

This is an issue being pushed with the intention of distracting from the real issue: fossil fuel use.
That was adding an executable for a PC, it had nothing to do with the audio, which was and is still perfectly copyable.

If I have a compost pile that's producing methane, is igniting that methane to convert it all into CO2 (regardless of getting any utility from that energy) effectively "net carbon negative" because CO2 has much less climate effect than methane?

Kind of weird to think about how burning methane without capturing the energy could be better for the planet that letting it leak into the atmosphere naturally.
It sounds obviously pointless when you put it that way, but somehow crypto airdrops keep having non-zero value. In the context of SBF's recent interview https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-25/sam-bankm... I guess this project is aiming to ponzify the planet.

Wow, what a take. Two comments down there's "this feels highly paternalistic and condescending to black communities." There's also "The ACLU letter noted that 'a menthol cigarette ban would disproportionately impact communities of color, result in criminalization of the market, and exacerbate mass incarceration.'"

So which is it? What move can you make that isn't panned by critics as having ulterior racist motives?

In what sense does capitalism require indefinite exponential growth? I recall, for example, that Japan did not collapse during their Lost Decade.
My favourite example of this is using an en dash for a relationship between two separate things, rather than the more closely-connected compound adjective of a hyphen.

Italian–American relations: foreign relations between the governments of Italy and the United States.

Precisely accurate, yep. After the worker complaints, Disney responded by turning off donations to both parties rather than turning off donations to only Republicans.
I spent over 10 years at Amazon and considered quitting after my first three days. I continued to consider quitting every year for over 10 years.

Two factor is getting out of control in general.

Many people who are capable of doing things on their own are now running into systematic issues because they can’t correctly follow the Byzantine two-factor rules that are continually being added.

It’s bad enough at work where people can reach out for assistance. Who knows how many people are now blocked from communications because they couldn’t figure out the two factor dance?
Do you feel the same way about headphones? I think headsets are basically headphones for eyes.

You can still raise if you want to and have a growth user growth story. Though completely understandable if you feel burned out on the product.

If you want to stick to it, I would lean the open-sourcedness of it into a connector data-source import advantage.

Your product looks slick, man. It's probably small consolation, but you've got a talent for good product design.
It isn’t obvious from your link… what % of current grads are “business majors” who don’t really know anything other than how to be greedy and justify it with fancy PowerPoint slide decks?

The number of grads may have gone way up, but I think the education itself had slid down the slippery slope to create too many administrators and bureaucrats.

> as developers get more and more senior, they tend to ignore more and more problems, because they've gotten so used to it.

I've been coding professionally since the 90s. The last project I worked on was in Go. It was pleasant and surprisingly productive. A few warts, like the parent said, but all told it was a great experience. I'm now working on a Typescript project. It is painful. Typescript itself is quite nice, but the deep problems with the rest of the ecosystem have not gone unnoticed.

This is the sort of deliberate, disingenuous misapprehension that I'm talking about. You understand that the phrase "sexual orientation" is widely interpreted as "what gender of person a person has relationships with", right? As in, it's not just about "sex" in the prurient, not-safe-for-children sense.

But if you had a way to easily create value, why would you give it away? If philanthropy is the answer, why all the fuss about crypto anyways? You can just give away actual useful money instead.
Yes, I have seen that and I knew someone would reference it

Sure, most people won't do that. But the user base of github is not most people, it's developers, a large fraction of which work at a company which has an AWS account or equivalent, and I questioned specifically "companies" not "people" using an external service for this.
