I just had a thought. This tech seems like "space junk" type tech. It won't launch high mass items.

But it can launch a lot of low mass ones, right?

If moderate to high decay orbits are selected as targets, maybe it ends up being less overall space junk. Launch a lot, and as the items fall back, replenish them as needed.

And maybe there are ways to package. Imagine a chemically active packing. Like spray foam, only with some sort of trigger.

Once the ship, satellite, item (not sure what to call low mass things) has been launched, Abbas release is triggered that essentially vaporizes the packing material.

A day or so after arrival in the target orbit, maybe hours and who knows there. I have no idea how chemistry might work in this application....

After arrival, the packing vaporizes away, leaving the rest to do whatever it is supposed to do during the course of it's service life. Being small, the burn on reentry is likely going to break it all down into the basic elements, circle of life style.

Thinking about it this way jas me intrigued.
Imho the best approximation for gnome is pop_os Windows manager
Yes, I just tested it with one my accounts that has NO recovery email address/phone. ONLY U2F key.

Select forgot password; the it asks Insert U2F Key. Then recovered. Yes, it may be that if one loses U2F key in Metro it is dangerous but some risk is always there. (i.e) how many times have you lost your key in your life? If more than one per year then keep one U2F at work and one at home.
Fancy Zones was an inspiration for Windows 11’s Snap Layout feature, which is a bit simplified but provides many of the same benefits.
Password Store is pretty good.

Would you call that a new problem, or something with old roots?

Nonetheless, the point of smelling points of no return is valid for all situations, where you can see looming crises but at the same time a provisionally livable state and "doom not fully scheduled".
People in this thread are conflating "phone" and "smartphone".

You can just carry a cheap dumbphone and it works for texting people or emergency calls just fine.
> but you really don't know what could happen at any given moment, and need to phone emergency services. This is not paranoia (well maybe it is), but paranoia doesn't work retroactively, you have to be proactively paranoid.

It would be nice to not live that way sometimes you know? There are places where people aren’t conditioned to feel that way.
Yes, proof of impaired revenue or profit streams with a certain threshold should have been a requirement for PPP.

Much lower income thresholds should have been applied to stimulus checks. Student loan debt should not have been paused for high earners. Interest rates should not have been pegged at 0 while asset bubbles formed over all asset classes.

That's called rational and responsible policy.

Enforcement could have been retroactive to avoid delaying disbursement of funds. It's not hard to write sensible legislation, even under a time crunch.

And hardships come naturally to business all the time. It's not the government's role to save everybody in every situation. Companies that were financially irresponsible or poorly run should naturally fail when economic times get rough.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We saved everybody just to end up with massive inflation which will require forcing the economy into recession anyway, defeating the entire purpose and impact of the stimulus.

Make no mistake, unemployment will spike in a big way as the Fed tightens, just as it has essentially every other time they had to tighten to curb inflation.

The aid was right, the magnitude was far overdone. It will be quite obvious to historians, though it's obvious even now.
The interesting part of simulation genres is finding out what you need to change to make it fun.

What makes a simulation game fun varies per game. Stardew Valley could be described as a boring loop. EVE Online just yesterday made fans happy by getting official Microsoft Excel support.

The key seems to be to have a particular hook and perspective.

So, for a poverty simulator, you could embrace hustle culture and have people race to exploit loopholes in systems to maximize return.

Alternatively, you could take a radical approach at start with the crush of poverty and embrace it something like a rogue-like where you will probably always lose, but this time maybe you get a little further. Whether you want to embrace it ridiculously like Binding of Isaac embraced evangelical childhood abuse or be something else works.

Also worth remembering Papers, Please as a good example of a simulation making something "not fun" fun.
Uh, powerwashing, (sand,dry ice, etc)-blasting, is actually fun in real life. If I could get a job doing only that, I would totally do it. Janitorial work is actually pretty engaging and fun, it's the having to do it EVERY DAY for almost nothing and being disrespected and socially maligned for it that sucks! Driving is also fun!
Pre-phones, it just wasn’t something you thought about. If you came up with a phone, you just may not be able to get it.
5000 IU is really too much. At best 2000, 2500 IU is good.
Sure. I’m not going to defend the study. My critique was aimed at the idea that the concept of a non-zero sum situation didn’t exist.
I havent ran in that issue actually, perhaps as I am using the site a bit different. The way I navigate it is by filtering on a country (or not) first, and than ordering by the properties (girth / height) and than selecting the specific link which pops up the relevant page.
There's places where a phone won't help you at all. On the other hand, just screaming will. Screaming, like not yelling, screaming. Helped me out exactly three weeks ago today, when I was getting coercively shepherded by supermarket guards, into the supermarket, because the cashier accused me of not paying. But they weren't interested in seeing my receipt. Just in harassing me. Fortunately Jessica at the Farmacias Manríquez (near Merced and José Miguel de la Barra in downtown Santiago) across the street heard me scream "I want you to call the real cops! You have no right to do this! Look at my receipt!" (in Spanish of course) and called my people, whom I couldn't reach because I left my phone at home. And they showed up, asked what the fuck, and I talked to the lawyer extensively about it, he agreed it was harassment and coercive threats.

Who knew, screaming calls attention? And I couldn't use a phone because my hands were full, I was carrying glass bottles home that way because I didn't want to pay for a plastic bag. If I dropped them, they would say since they accused me of stealing them that I destroyed the merchandise and was a thief for sure. And then taken me to the ground and beat me up, that's their job basically.

Thanks Jessica of Farmacias Manríquez!

So phones? Not always a big help.
Dis NASA use intelligence when deciding on its goals in the 1960s? Are there reasons it decided to land on the Moon instead of on the Sun?

Why didn't the US make that a goal in 1793?
Disconnecting from work should be fine. That's a boundary most should have outside of high stakes life and death jobs. Even then, coverage by more than one person should be warranted, and paid for.

Personal phone? That's my lifeline to civilization if something bad happens. Also an AV capture device.
You misread the parent poster, who noted that power grabbers would also like to employ industrialized manipulation at scale, although obviously for purposes other than reaching equal outcomes.
It can take a while for your Vit-D levels to rise, even with supplementing 5k IU per day... I would check your levels again.

And, of course, Vit-D is not the only contributor to depression so it might be good to see a GP and/or get a general blood panel done.
I therefore have one for facebook, slack and so on (i.e) for every major company when I login. Then one is for just browsing.
Why is that an impediment? You cannot expect consistency from an inconsistent ideology.
for high perf code, i've found Object.assign() to be significantly faster than spread *. it also invoke getters, whereas spread does not.

I am guessing the violent MAGA crowd, and people looting and burning stores down.
The really messed up thing is that actual organized bad actors aren't really affected by account bans too much: it's just a cost of doing business for them. Criminals have systems in place in friendly jurisdictions to create a number of new company accounts and with a bit of effort just resume whatever fraud they were engaged with under a new profile with a fresh new account when they get shut down.

Only the stupidest low-level criminals get shut down by the "ban first, and ask no questions later" practice.

Compounded by Silicon Valley's refusal to engage with normal people, I think the number of false positives and lives and businesses destroyed by their refusal to provide human customer support is significantly greater than anybody suspects.
> the title of this article, that I commented on, is literally "How many Linux commands can a 7 year old learn?"

Did you just willfully skip everything I said to focus on this?

The article is about a kid who spent an hour, once, with his dad experimenting with a terminal. He's interested and curious and probably wants to do it again.

I told you that my 8 year old doesn't sit at a terminal, but has spent a fair bit more than an hour doing a somewhat similar computing task. He's also hyper-social and well adapted dealing with other living beings.
This person's experience seems to be validated by others. I also have had a similar experience.

Sounds like you have more to lose if you were banned from eBay. Watch out!
Sure - depends on whether your assumption of my location being Silicon Valley is correct or not.
> Working hard isn't sufficient, you also have to work smart and invest in your future.

What does "invest in your future" mean? I think a good definition would be "increasing your future opportunities". Given that definition, what you're saying is that a good outcome also requires having opportunities. Another example of how outcome and opportunity are deeply intertwined.
That's if you're using Finder's embedded preview on Columns mode. If you're using Spacebar to preview, there will be a button on the top right corner to open in the relevant app.
If you have to have a phone to pay for things like parking or for proof of vaccination status, then you have to carry a locator beacon that can be tracked, and your movements can be recorded. Who records them (Google, Apple, someone else) is irrelevant; the record can be requisitioned by your government or a Five Eyes partner at the touch of a few buttons. Your locator beacon comes with handy built-in cameras and microphones, and it probably has speech-to-text capability on chip if you have a recent model. Also it's reading your mail and texts and encrypted chats, and you browse the web on it, so it potentially knows a lot about you. Good thing you can trust it not to spy on you.
I wonder if you can, under GDPR, request that all your data is deleted and then create a new account. Not allowing you to create a new account could be argued as a violation of GDPR as it would mean that they kept personally identifiable data about you.
Please provide this, "ample evidence" and, "multiple proofs" that, "this" (what?) is the case. Edgelording about how society hasn't lived up to your expectations as a modern human being (that apparently didn't go to college?) I'm inclined to hear you out but you read like a 22-year-old that spends too much time on 4Chan.
The cost of living of an area of London don't really correlate (in the way you're suggesting) to if homeless people can exist there.

my friend's phone died last year and he

1) couldn't get inside anywhere to charge it because he didn't have his covid vaccine card anywhere

2) couldn't scan a menu to order at the outdoor cafe we found in the mean time

it was amusing, it stopped being fun very quickly, but we figured it out. these two scenarios are obviously not as relevant any more

but its way beyond "addiction"
If you apply by the front door, and get in, fine, maybe you get some job in 2 months. But the best jobs are not available that way. Mine was not.
Where can I get train dash cam feeds?
I've also been permabanned from eBay. Buyer for 10+ years, occasional seller. Went to sell something alongside lots of listings for the same thing. Permabanned my account and my parent's accounts as I had logged in from their house previously. No recourse. "Banned without appeal" they called it. "Because of the nature of the ban we cannot tell you anything about it". Many frustrating calls.

Years later, my only thesis is it was due to having HTML in my product description, I linked to the vendor website. Maybe that's against the rules or something.
You have to remember the basic idea behind a lot of these word salads is that "We need to return to kings and aristocracy" and that "Of course I am a high iq intellectual who will be the nobility and not a feudal worker, why is there any doubt?". Everything starts making sense then.

> The truth is that we are doing a lot better in terms of equality of opportunity than we give ourselves credit for.

Who is “we”?
"It also seems to seems to suggest that if marginalized groups have drastically worse outcomes, it's because of some characteristic within those people."

What about minority groups that have drastically better outcomes?

For a non-US-controversial example, Chinese people in Malaysia, probably the only country that has affirmative action ("Bumiputera") for the majority ethnic group.

The historical experience says that disproportionally successful minority groups tend to live under a persistent shadow of violent retribution / ethnic cleansing / genocide at the hands of the majority, so their "privilege" is often very two-edged. But this situation, actually fairly common across the world, is rarely discussed in modern racial narrative.
Your minimalist core feature and flexible extension strategy sounds very appealing.

I can identify having this impulse after doing things with Rust but fantasizing about a LISP cousin: Smalltalk.

Now that you mentioned Go it is a more natural thing to try due to its garbage collection already done there. Thanks por pointing that out.

What restrains me a bit of starting any effort in this direction is Pharo's current performance:

You don't have to plug in the mouse jiggler, it can be a separate device that hooks onto the mouse itself. The OS on the computer would never know about it since it's separate from the computer.
Why does this matter? Jobs are not a fixed pie of resources; productive jobs will pay for their own salary. Providing prioritized job training to those expected to benefit the most from it - which may well include Latino Americans, people with a disability, women, and ex-felons - can easily create jobs out of nothing.
>Not at all. By definition, power grabbing is the opposite of equality of outcome.

Within this totalitarian framework, the power would be given to the state, acting on behalf of all the people. c.f. Stalinist/Maoist mode
I was on holiday once with my friends in Amsterdam. After a few too many drinks and committing a sin and having a wee in the canal (sorry! When a man's gotta go he's gotta go - as an aside what's it with bars, clubs & fast food chains there etc. charging to use the toilet?!) a guy came up to me and started talking to me, can't really remember what he said to me, all I remember is checking my pocket and my new OnePlus 3t phone had disappeared. Karma I suppose.

We had another leg of the holiday in Finland (Helsinki) and then back to Amsterdam again for another day before returning to the UK. It was painful where all my friends had their phones and could take pictures etc. and I couldn't.

I couldn't even borrow a friend's phone to check emails/Facebook etc. as I'm security conscious and have 2FA enabled on all my accounts, and use a password manager with generated passwords also. My less technically inclined friends called me an idiot.

Thankfully when I got back to the UK I was able to get a replacement SIM card the next day from the network provider's store and I had an older Android phone to use for the time being and was able to go through the Authy SMS recovery process to get my 2FA codes back.
I have never felt an affect from oral vitamins in any situation.

Sitting in the sun however seems to do more than just “increase vitamin d levels”. The sensation is just overwhelmingly lovely. It seems to reduce cortisol, makes you feel tired in a euphoric way. Animals love to warm their fur in shafts of sunlight too.

Perhaps we should be thinking more in terms of joyful activities in general and less trying to biohack.
Was there literally no alternative? Round these parts you can pay in cash (with no change given). I've heard people complain they were forced to use the app when they just didn't have any cash.

(I have to be aware of the alternatives because I don't have a smartphone. It's not been an insurmountable problem yet.)
Well, so they brute-force and come up with a set of possible answers, a list of tuples.

I don't have any guarantees that both of them are sorting each list the same. So how does "I don't have enough information" relay which of those list items to eliminate?
The 5th amendment (or rather the 14th in this case) requires "due process" before taking your life, liberty, or property.

As is probably intuitive, the process that is "due" for taking property, which is less than is "due" for taking liberty, which is still somewhat less than is "due" for taking life. (This latter hasn't always been the case, but read Brennan's concurrence in Furman v. Georgia and progeny cases establishing the death-is-different axiom of American criminal jurisprudence.)

A property interest that doesn't implicate any liberty interest may be taken with a bare minimum of due process, often just notice and an opportunity to be heard. If a hearing is granted, the standard is a preponderance (not beyond a reasonable doubt).

I assume the penalty for your speeding ticket was a fine only, yes?
First thing I thought about as well. I really think The Culture is very special in its ability to "feel" the future.
Just to give you an early warning: Someone else seems to have a project with a similar name. At least the Arch Linux User Repositories (AUR) have this package and it seems to be a different project:

The loss of pay phones over the last 20 years is a loss to society. We used to have widespread access to cheap and anonymous emergency calling.
I've gotten used to having my phone on silent and most notifications turned off. I leave text and phone notifications on so I can see them on the lock screen when I decide to look at the phone.

For moments when I actually need to be aware of any communications or be in sync with family and friends, I can turn on the ringer or turn on specific notifications.

I think this has helped me get away from the constant distraction but keeps the utility of the phone near. It annoys me when, during conversations, people constantly check their phone and smart watch every few minutes because of the buzz in their pocket or their wrist.

I have also found going on weekend backpacking trips has weaned me off of the phone and technology in general. I would recommend it for those looking to take a break.

You start in poverty and can work your way out, but you can also get trapped. It certainly gives you the feeling of the grind: eating only the cheapest food, earning barely enough, having no time after work.
Alfred is one of those tools you only realise how valuable it is when you don't have it. I use it every day and really struggle without it when on Windows
I agree. I never argue that equal outcomes is possible (the words "equal outcome" never appear in my comment). I argue that even if we have equal opportunities, then we will still get unequal outcomes. I believe we are in agreement on every point.
I'd wager most of that difference is due to the USA's tech industry growth.
So I had a feeling "without a terminal" was a typo and I wanted to look up the exact quote. I googled the sentence and expected the right quote to be at the top, but all Google gave me was results for helping people with terminal cancer cope with their coming death.

It was only after I appended "Ian M Banks" that I got the result I was looking for. I'm honestly surprised Google failed that search so hard.
My favourite approach to big-O questions to to reply O(exp^n) to everything. When asked I point out that whatever it is, exp^n surely bounds it. This'll go either two ways. The interviewer will reflect on whether it is a least upper bound or not (and whether my statement is right) which makes for an interesting discussion about the other types of Landau notation. Or they'll get angry.

Ultimately I'm not convinced based on my own personal experience that many of the people asking the question truly understand either. I see it in a somewhat negative light because I feel it is essentially a cargo culted interview technique - recite a few 0()s, yeah we all did CS degrees, great (or not). If you actually try to get into the weeds...

I also don't think understanding big O notation is a great predictor of success of a software engineer. As well to ask if the series 1/n converges versus 1/n^2. What I'd rather see is that they can actually implement a solution. Take an ORM for example - a junior candidate knows how to use it and maybe how to debug it. A senior candidate might know that ORMs often emit very poorly optimised SQL and have some ideas on how to fix it. Example picked arbitrarily, ORMs aren't even my area.

Even in my actual area of specialty the number of industry programmers who understand say what an elliptic curve with complex multiplication actually is, or even undergrad group theory, is quite limited. And they don't need to - I mean it is ideal if they do, but you can still implement ecc without much theoretical knowledge. There's also a bunch of "not academic" knowledge on various implementation techniques that academics might not know or care about.

Brings me back to my ORM point. I'd much rather the person understands how the tools might fit together and more importantly learns any gaps or asks questions and identifies performance issues in the whole.

That's not to say that time and space bounds don't matter. They do. But 99% of my use of this knowledge has been to answer interview questions.
Read Kafka's The Trial [1], nice description of how it feels to be a person living in such system.

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial
Resource redistribution is pretty zero sum in reality. Investments are kinda gray, they (usually) have long term positive gains, but come with short-term costs and opportunity costs.
I don't know what "the wealthy have [...] advantages that make the system far from zero-sum" is supposed to mean or how purchasing power is supposed to factor into this.

You can say that redistributing resources is just despite that, but the author framing it as a 'win-win' situation that advantaged groups are just too ableist/racist/sexist to accept is absurd.
