My dad bought me one of these bulky 12 speed razors, 5 years ago. I've used 1 cartridge from it about 6 months ago. I hadn't shaved my face since before they came out. I use a clipper to keep it trimmed. Why use any disposable product whatsoever.

His point on single use plastics is spot on. I know a lot of people that love to lecture me about my moralistic views, the types of people who believe in overpopulation and are sad about the plastic in the ocean, not a single one of them pays any mind to the packaging of anything they buy. I do, and I'm not even one of those people. My "footprint" is probably less than 10% of most peoples, and I don't even care the way they do.

People consume too much disposable crap. People act like they have to buy what's on offer. People are convinced they're helpless in the face of corporations. Start refusing to buy things and stop making excuses and until then you should feel ashamed to lecture anyone about anything.

Reading this was a thank you moment like I haven't had for a while. I completely agree with this critique of modern, consumerist nonsense.

This one, in this world many things that lose quality lose convenience, for example insulin - if you decrease the quality of insulin you will be decreasing the convenience.

basically in any situation when you decrease the quality of anything to such an extent that you use it less and thus get less of the benefits that it gives you it would follow that it would be more convenient that the quality was higher.

For example - condoms, condoms that don't work very well would be inconvenient.

But also coffee, when coffee is of such poor quality that people do not drink it that is inconvenient if you are employed turning coffee into code as the funny t-shirts have it. Hence my humorous reference to productivity enhancing stimulants.
> If you are to compare stuff, stuff like modern razor cartridges and double-edged razors, you ought to mention the convenience side of the things. I hate being the devil's advocate, but shaving with 4-blade cartridge designed for easy shaving is still 'miles' ahead compared to shaving with double-edged razor. Miiiles ahead. And I use a double-edged razor 9 out of 10 times, so I would know a thing or two about it.

For 4-5 months of the year (summer) I shave my head 2x or 3x a week, and I don't understand this comment. How are cartridge razors more convenient than safety razors?

Safety razors are just hands down better, IMO. It's a more comfortable shave (depending on the blade), the blades can be bought in bulk for $0.05 cents each, they take less than 30 seconds to change out, they last longer than cartridges, and there's no plastic waste.

> If I steal your TV and then your house burns down, have I "saved" your TV even though I still won't give it back?

What if you die and i buy your tv at an estate sale, and then later your ancestors change their mind? [I'm mostly just posing this as a thought experiment, i dont think its exactly the same as this either]

I mean there is a lot of nuance involved. Sometimes i think repatriating artifacts is the right thing to do. However, if we were talking about say Roman artificats i would say that the modern descendents are so far removed that their claim is no more legitament than anyone else. But there are certainly cases where modern descendents have compelling claims.
You don’t get proof from Bayesian reasoning (data). That’s not how science is done. The best proof of any idea is whether it is a good logical explanation that stands up to criticism.

Take Newton’s ideas about gravity and the motion of bodies for example. The day before Einstein came up with general relativity, Newton’s ideas had the most possible data which confirmed they were true. In other words, they were as wrong as they ever had been.

Relativity predicted the warping of spacetime, which was shown to be real in a single experiment. It’s not like more data is needed to make it more true.

Back to the original topic: If this ACT stuff is a good explanation for your behavior, and if it works for you, what more data is needed?

We have something similar to this in Antwerp, Belgium.

Most of our solutions are built on top of a kubernetes-powered microservices platform, with an API-first design approach. It is called the Antwerp City Platform as a Service (https://acpaas.digipolis.be).

To ensure technological consistency we have a Digipolis Antwerp Application Stack, which is the technological foundation for new projects. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR9N3gAJoJFI...

And finally for UI consistency, we have a design system called Antwerp UI (https://antwerp-ui.digipolis.be), which includes a custom-designed font meant to evoke the city's historical architecture, used both for internally facing web apps, and for our public facing website https://www.antwerpen.be

If I had to guess, I'd say they're trying to point out that, yes, technology-powered late-stage capitalism may well share some features with pre-capitalist modes of production but this does not equate to a full return to a feudalist mode, and that processes already inherent to capitalism itself-- such as capital concentration and centralization driven by the tendency of the rate of profit to fall-- are still very relevant. It's hard to say because the whole distinction is pretty artificial.

> It certainly can’t compare with safety razors

I've been using a safety razor for years and figured I was getting a pretty good deal out of it. Then a few months ago I reached into my travel bag without looking and sliced my finger open badly; the resulting stitches and tetanus shot came out to about $200, probably wiping out whatever money I'd saved by using them.

I still think it's a good deal.. if you're careful.

I’m skeptical about the usefulness of this device. Micro windturbines rarely make sense.

40W of power production sounds like a lot, but that’s optimum, at 28 mph, or about 6 Beaufort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale#Modern_scale). That’s a strong wind.

Worse, this device, is, eyeballing, about a meter high, so you’ll need to have that wind speed very close to the ground. You won’t often get 28 mph at that height (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_gradient).

That’s important because wind power scales with the third power of wind speed (if wind speed doubles, the kinetic energy of the air going through the turbine quadruples, and twice as much air flows through the turbine), so a more realistic, but probably still optimistic 14mph (4 Beaufort) would decrease power output to around 6W.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine#Placement: “One rule of thumb is that turbines should be at least 9 m (30 ft) higher than anything within 150 m (490 ft)”

⇒ I expect this to typically provide be a lot less power than that 40W.
No, the reason React has a VDOM is because the DOM is slow to update, compared to manipulating javascript objects. It's worthwhile to calculate the list of minimum updates ahead of time rather than using the DOM as the source of truth.

Not sure where you think mutation comes into play here, that's an orthogonal concern—you can have an API that mutates some internal representation of a VDOM, and it's still faster than manipulating the DOM directly.

> it takes skill and time

Yes, and, as I probably haven't said, I've been doin' it for 'years', and I do have a favorite soap/razor brand/razor handle... you name it... And I rarely ever (1/10 prob) get cuts, and the end result _is_ better, purely quality wise (double-edged razor is just sharper and can access spots, like under your nose, that 4-blade razor, let's say it's 4-blade, just can not).

My point is that after a while, you realize that you can get 80/90% of the quality with less than 20% of time invested. (Un)fortunately enough, the calculation is not that simple. You need to include the money factor, the frequency of shaving factor, the energy/focus factor (you can't just shave using a double-edged razor at 6am with your eyes still half way closed, and also expect no to cut yourself; you just can't, no matter how experienced you are - it is still 'razor' sharp :), with next to no safeguards, depending on your razor handle)... And I get that in many cases, the money factor is more (or the most) important, but you still can't just ignore all other factors.

That said, I strongly believe that modern 4-blade cartridges can/should be less expensive.

Also, I have next to no experience with electric razors, so take that into consideration. (Also, if anyone knows some electric razor model/brand that is well worth the money, I will really appreciate the suggestion)

Sure, but just to add a bit to it there were multiple terror attacks on trains in Europe in recent years. In Germany there was this knife attack just a few months ago, as an example. You also run into some annoying folks on public transport from time to time even if they're not trying to kill you. In those pricey plane seats they're among themselves.

This is the best explanation I can come up with why they're doing it, there isn't really any advantage flying this route. It's not true that people choose the most ecological mode of transport as long as speed is equal or faster, they often have other priorities.

Do you know if that is a japanese adoption of "half" or is it based on pure Japanese etymology and just a coincidence it's sounds similar?
Yeah this really captures what I experienced too. There’s zero back and forth which is how you would actually work with someone. I think that’s what bothered me most — it was an unrealistic situation for how people work together, and there was no chance to defend my decisions or feel out what the actual acceptance criteria were.
A few points that in the course of being typed out turned into a small essay:

Modern conventional warfare is extremely deadly: essentially, if a target can be seen it can be destroyed. Anything in the open will eventually be destroyed. Tanks are not especially more vulnerable to this danger than any other ground vehicle; they are larger, more visible targets, but that is somewhat offset by their armor. If you're looking at all the wrecked Russian T-72s in Ukraine and asking "why have tanks?" you could just as easily look at all the wrecked BMPs and BMDs and ask "why have infantry fighting vehicles?" or at all the wrecked supply convoys and ask "why have trucks?" The answer of course is because you need the mobility and firepower that vehicles provide, but the trade off is that the battlefield is very, very deadly for vehicles.

Tanks cannot take the lead in urban operations because the terrain is too restricted and their situational awareness too low. But, their direct firepower can be essential in urban operations: think of a rifle squad pinned down by sniper fire from the upper floors of a building at the end of the block, which is something a tank can easily destroy with minimal risk.

As the above point alludes to, tanks and infantry fight more effectively as a team than they can separately. Depending on the mission, terrain, and enemy disposition, a tank can be a more effective weapon than infantry, and vice-versa. But by having both working together, they are able to compensate for the others weaknesses. In the course of a battle, the more effective arm at a given moment is liable to change back and forth multiple times: sometimes the infantry will be making the main effort, sometimes the tanks; sometimes the infantry will be maneuvering while the tanks support by fire, sometimes the tanks maneuver while the infantry supports by fire.

The Russians have been particularly bad at this last point in Ukraine. Partly, this appears to a be a result of their infantry formations being significantly understrength; even if they were at full strength, their TOEs (Table of Organization and Equipment) for various infantry unit types suggest notably less strength than their western counterparts. The Battalion Tactical Group organization, as an ad hoc formation, also means that the infantry and armor in a given BTG have probably never trained to fight together as a team: it makes a big difference to go to war with people you've trained as a team with for months/years than with people you met two weeks ago.

I think the big takeaway from Ukraine is not that tanks are especially vulnerable on contemporary battlefield, but that unprepared and disorganized Russian tankers are going to die as quickly as the rest of the Russian army when confronting a tough, well-trained, determined opponent equipped with weapons specifically engineered to destroy their vehicles.
That guy is not wearing a face mask or proper eye protection. You don't want to make a habit of inhaling iron filings.

Do it in a well ventilated area, preferable outside. The fillings get everywhere, include into any vents of any other equipment you might have nearby. My glasses weren't enough to keep the filings out of my eyes. They are fine enough that they won't scratch or cut your eyes, but you will feel like you are having the worst bout of seasonal allergies you've ever had.

The search for quick cures (both by insurance companies and time/money-limited patients) is one of the major reasons that relatively short-acting psychedelics like MDMA, psilocybin and ketamine are popular.

The even faster acting psychedelics like DMT (NN-DMT) and 5-MeO-DMT are also likely to become popular for the same reason.

Their use may eventually eclipse more traditional and slower acting psychedelics, because what could be more convenient than tripping for 15 minutes, being "cured" of your depression, and then going on with the rest of your day?
I think they are well tolerated, but still you are always going to be American/French/Russian there. I've been to Japan and everyone was for the most part very nice, invited me to their homes, etc. However, it felt almost ceremonial (for lack of a better word). I was in Tokyo and surrounding area which I hear is very different from the more rural areas.
So basically, be wealthy. All of your solutions require money up front, except maybe #4 if you're skilled and lucky, and #8 but the cc rewards for day to day spending is like 1 or 2 bowls of raman.
Cast iron does have a couple rules that are exceptions in the modern kitchen. You can’t leave them soaking in the sink or run them through the dishwasher without creating a bunch of maintenance work to remove the rust you just created but this is usually less work, just different. Instead of soaking in the sink I tend to just boil a cup of water in the pan and it loosens up anything stuck. You also shouldn’t cook high acid foods like a slow simmering pasta sauce in cast iron since it can have unwanted taste effects. But otherwise, anything you read about seasoning with flaxseed oil and building up layers is a waste of your time, just use it.

I can also sympathize with anyone who is of below average strength (children, injured or disabled, advanced age) not choosing cast iron, they are heavy compared to a Teflon pan.

It’s not so much which states matter. Larger states generally matter more in Presidential elections. Especially large purple states like PA.

The problem with Presidential elections is small rural states still have outsize influence via the combination of more EC votes than a population-based count AND winner-take-all elections (51% of the vote in. A state and you get 100% of that states electors) in most states.

Turn there’s the Senate. Because it’s not based on population, CA and TX have the same influence as SD and DE. Combine that with arcane super-majority rules and a defective filibuster and it’s a recipe for outright obstruction by the minority party.
You talk as if immigration is some kind of switch but Japan has been a mono culture and they don't speak anything but Japanese, so it'll be hard to have that many foreigners to support the population decline.

And then pensions and healthcare become problems.

One question I am unable to answer from all of these recent discussions: will I ever be able to use my phone as a cross-platform compatible FIDO/U2F hardware key?

I don't want a vendor-specific or identity-provider specific integration like Google using Chrome and Android for MFA with Google accounts. I mean could my Android or iOS phone connect to a laptop via bluetooth or USB and act as a hardware key just as if I used a yubikey or titan key, and be visible to Firefox or any other software that knows how to talk to U2F or other smartcards to enroll with new websites and identity providers that have nothing to do with Google nor Apple accounts?

I'd take it a step further and say -- just do what you feel is best, what matches your morals, etc, and skip the lecture in any case. 99% of what is wrong with social media has to do with people lecturing the world as if their own personal opinion deserves special consideration. Focus on doing, not talking about it.

> 2. Teflon is extremely hazardous when consumed and it flakes off of the pans over time (which is why they must be replaced often) or when incorrect utensils are used (common among unsophisticated users).

It's very common to use incorrect utensils (metal) because the correct ones (wood, plastic) are are harder to clean and don't last as long, and few people would choose to use such utensils if all else were equal.
