I am actually a fan of the sun myself. I feel way better, physically and mentally, when getting decent amounts of sunlight. I would accept some risk in exchange for the benefits. But...

it is good intuition that we survived for thousands of years

Humans survived to the age of reproductive viability for many thousands of years.

If your goal is merely to survive until the age at which you can make a baby and rear it there are a lot of risks that can be disregarded. Skin cancer is one. So are all other cancers. No need to worry about long-term dental health either. So many fears and worries melt away. Embrace that hunter-gatherer lifestyle.

Alternatively, if you are hoping to live past your 30s (most of us would like to live at least 2.5x longer!) the lifestyles of ancient civilizations and our hunter-gatherer ancestors may not be your ticket to success.

> And if there were consumer devices, the next problem would be accuracy.

Having worked on Microsoft Band, I can tell you that accuracy is a problem with UV exposure for a number of reasons, none of which involve the sensor itself.

Mostly it is around how people wear it, and was the sensor always facing the sun, people going in and out of the shade, long sleeves, and so forth. We settled on # of minutes of high exposure, I forget what index we considered "high" but basically it if it was above a certain threshold we considered you "in the sun".

The goal was sunscreen application reminders, no way would we have trusted it to tell people they had "enough" sun!

Life insurance is one thing, but it has to be managed well. My will puts it into a fund that distributes it at a monthly rate until they're a certain age, so it doesn't get used up all at once. The rate is a little higher for college aged and some conditions let them cover college fee directly from the pool. There's also named guardians in case my wife dies too, and they get a caregivers stipend.

There's also a lot of stuff that isn't clearly handled by inheritance laws - crypto, steam games, income from say, Google Play, passwords, so you have to set that up as well.

Also because software made me paranoid about failsafes, I took a separate life insurance in case the people in charge of my will screws over the kids, so they'll get a lump sump once I die.

> The German government and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany announced an increase in funding for social welfare services for Holocaust survivors by $88 million on July 10, 2018. This funding increase will allow survivors to receive more frequent and better quality home care, food support, transportation and medical services. This allocation makes Germany’s 2019 total pledge to the Claims Conference $564 million.

(Emphasis mine)

I think this final paragraph in that article says it all. Who are the reparations going to? The Holocaust survivors. I'm not aware of any Haitians that were wronged by France in the 1800s that are still alive today, but if any of them are still alive that makes it much easier to figure out how to pay reparations :)

My general point was that it's ridiculous to pay reparations of wrongdoing to people that weren't wronged. And you can go down the whole path of how certain people are born into higher social statuses and whatnot, but that's a different argument and that ultimately boils down to the fact that life isn't fair or equal. There's nothing we can do about that.

What we can do is fight the crimes against humanity that are happening right now. We can make life better for the people around us. We can help influence our small circle of impact, and hopefully make the world a better place in the process. Focusing on the evils of our ancestors won't get us anywhere (unless we're studying them to avoid making the same mistakes). But maybe we can fight the crimes that are going on right now so that our posterity won't have the same arguments about how we wronged them by not fighting the injustice that is now.

It's two things, really, one is that 'folksonomy' was a term of its time, like, I dunno, 'blogosphere' or 'microformats' and is similarly obsolete. The other is that there were lots of people who thought or hoped that del.icio.us-style tags would lead to some sort of useful or interesting taxonomy or ontology, either emergent or by more prescriptive means (as in the initiating comment above) and that didn't really happen, perhaps because it wasn't (for the most part) what the tags were for. 'Foksonomy' is terminology that came from that line of thinking.
I think any single feature isn't too difficult to replace with go's stdlib stuff. e.g. to read a flag, or read in a config file.

Viper has sophisticated functionality such that it might read a config file from one of several paths; the properties of which can be overridden with environment variables or command line flags.

With an emphasis on productivity, I think those mechanisms are useful, and probably not worth spending time to NIH from stdlib.

"This caching ideally would be enforced by the browser, and not the server"

I don't think we'd need a UI served by that central server at that point. A sqlite file and some local program that communicates with other (de)centralized hosts for whatever services or data isn't available locally sounds like a neat departure from the approach the Solid project is taking with plug-able data backends.

Instead whatever ecosystem springs up around really making use of sqlite at "the edge" (here I mean individual's computing devices - not what they mostly references to fly.io and cloudflare from TFA) could invert how web apps are delivered and consumed for the 1% of people who care about this kind of thing. By invert I just mean that the user hosts their own frontends and interfaces with DNS named hosts / ports providing functionality, CPU, disk, network a la plan9.
Culture plays a major factor in how disorders like schizophrenia manifest. A schizophrenic in the U.S. whose delusions emerge as and regress into debilitating paranoia (e.g. cameras everywhere, government out to get you) might have developed if raised in another society a different set of delusions which could functionally fit into the culture (e.g. classic example is as a spiritualist or oracle; an example which also speaks to our inability to imagine acceptable social roles and modern connotations regarding religious thinking.) And not just different, but less severe delusions. The stress which particularly violent delusions cause--directly (fear) and indirectly (detachment from society)--effect the progression and severeness of the disorder.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for autism.

By that logic you willfully associate with a city too. If you don't like the city ordinances you can buy a house in a neighboring city or outside the city limits. Even moving in to a reasonable HOA is no guarantee. The board can change and your dream home can become a nightmare. Trying to find a property without a HOA in some areas can be nigh impossible or at the very least can significantly increase your commute.

> cashing out of family houses that have gained huge amounts of value, and looking to move to amenity-rich locations.

They can only cash out if people are willing to buy. And fewer people will be willing to buy (at least at the prices the retirees want) with interest rates going up.

So the retirees will either put off their plans for a while in the hopes that things will recover, or will accept lower prices for their homes.

> For another thing, short term rentals (AirBnb, VRBO etc.) have had profound impacts on the availability of property in heavily visited areas

Is this true? Last I was reading about this (a few months ago), the number of housing units in San Francisco listed on Airbnb was around 8k, which is around 2%. Meanwhile, a report from this February estimated that over 40,000 residential units (10% of total) in SF were sitting empty in 2019 (and that number has likely been growing over the past 3 years, as it has been since 2013). Why are we all upset about short-term rentals when so many real estate speculators are sitting on more than 4x as many vacant properties?
I never said that it was ever going to be perfect. I did say one could minimize the risk by following the rules and practicing defensive driving. Crashes aren't as inevitable as people make them out to be. I've avoided crashes while cycling as well as motoring by paying attention to the situation ahead and behind and proactively taking action to avoid putting myself in a situation where I would have crashed into another vehicle or been hit (e.g., seeing that drive not stopping for the red light and not driving into their path).
that's beautiful.
>No one will care if the rusted cars are inside a shed though.

Not necessarily true. Some HOAs will prohibit you from building the shed in the first place and some even go so far as to regulate the contents of your garage.
The Meta-Positioning Habit of Mind
Let me put it this way:

If you have the opportunity to make a choice between a trade and a engineering career in the same field, and you don't have a personal preference/calling between the two, the engineering career pays better and has better benefits. People will generally pick the thing that pays better all else being equal.

I genuinely don't see what's confusing about that idea. The over promotion of trades is mostly to obscure this fact, that compensation in engineering is better than in trades. The thing here is, if you only have a weak preference for trades, you might pick the trade if you think the compensation is comparable, but might pick engineering if you learn that the compensation is significantly better. I think the goal of these campaigns is to swindle these lightly preference'd types.
The problem is there are thousands of unaware or complacent people who gives their data easily. And, it doesn't matter if 2% of people grouse and complain over issue. If enough people use it, then many people are forced to use it whether its good or bad. Also, don't expect politician to fix such issue because they themselves probably think its good due to "security"

I'd say it was two things: the gold standard was dropped, as many other commentators have already remarked.

But Milton Friedman's editorial about the primacy of the shareholder's interest in business decisions -- what has become known as the Friedman Doctrine -- was published in The New York Times in September 1970 and immediately had an impact in the first quarter of 1971 and eventually lead to the rise of 1980s-style venture capitalism and the plundering/asset-stripping of successful companies by private equity firms after sweetheart buy-outs or hostile takeovers that continue to this day.

When we place the value of a business purely on the amount of money it can make for the shareholders/stakeholders/owners, all other considerations -- including fair and livable wages, environmental concerns, and even the well-being of the communities in which the businesses are located -- go out the window.
Only the CPU direct lanes are PCIe 5.0 and, being direct, none of that gets multiplexed. You either use all of a direct slot's assigned lanes at 5.0 speed or you miss out on that bandwidth.

Everything else not CPU direct (wired and wireless networking, SATA storage, non-primary USB ports, and 3 PCIe 4.0 addon cards) is connected via the chipset(s) which connect back via a single shared PCIe 4.0 x4 connection to the CPU. These are multiplexed but nothing here is using PCIe 5.0 bandwidth and even just 1 busy slot alone off this collection is able to consume the entire uplink bandwidth.

> Modern human civilization, with its permanent agriculture and settlements, has developed over just the past 10,000 years or so. The period has generally been one of low temperatures and relative global (if not regional) climate stability. Compared to most of Earth’s history, today is unusually cold; we now live in what geologists call an interglacial—a period between glaciations of an ice age. But as greenhouse-gas emissions warm Earth’s climate, it's possible our planet has seen its last glaciation for a long time.

One of the weird things about food for babies is that the official recommendations change from country to country. I never heard that here in Argentina, but it's totally possible that some MD are telling that, because each one has her/his favorite list or forbidden foods. The only food that is in all lists is honey, because it's not pasteurized and may have botulism. (Nut I'd not be surprised if it's not forbidden in other countries.)

Don’t skip the most likely option.

It’s cheaper to make new batteries than to create a return program and recycle the lithium.

So, no one pays (money) and the batteries go to the landfill.

It’s not necessarily about battery design. It’s that the cells need to be opened, the foil and layers removed and scrapped for lithium. It’s just always going to be a pain to rework than create new.
The vast majority of collisions cyclists are involved in happen at intersections (incluing mid block drivways and alleys). Very few collision involve hit from behind.

Cycling infrastructure that places cyclists in the pedestrian position when crossing an intersection exacerbates the risk of getting into a collision when crossing the intersection because motorists aren't really looking to see someone moving at cyclist speed as they're exiting the intersection. The other problem is that cyclists are hidden from view by parked cars until a short time before entering the intersection. This makes it difficult for both the cyclist and motorist to see each other until it's too late to avoid a collision. If you're not riding where motorists are looking, you're far more likely to end up in a collision, fatal or not[1]

That’s not what the article states, it says it’s a rate that is not accessible to most traders. ie a FX desk at a Western bank probably can’t get those rates, as it probably involves dealing with the Russian central bank by having a ruble account which is against sanctions.

There’s a difference between fraudulent pricing vs. new quoted price due to supply/demand order barriers and/or mandates.

AI. There are things it will do extremely well, but life will go on. Despite all the chainsaws and cranes, humans are still cutting wood and lifting bricks.
