If your problem is with bad developers not following the standards then why is your solution to screw the users. Find a solution for the problem bad developers and greedy companies. Such a solution for preventing IE6 like cases is to remind Apple that users should be able to install alternative browsers.

I test my stuff in Firefox and Chrome, can't check Safari or Safari Beta so if you really want more support for Safari you need to ask Apple to sacrifice a bit of profit and give developers virtual machines or whatever web service to be able to test their code.

But if you are honest with yourself you know the exact reason why Firefox is not allowed to be an option on iOS and the answer is simple, profits and sure a company is obligated to max out profits.
> See, from my perspective, democracy isn't a very good form of governance, and I don't understand why it should be applied as an end in and of itself in every area of life. This is in relation to co-ops, but also to the recent "democratization" drive in general.

so when you buy 1 btc for $30k, trade the btc for 100 of bscoin, bscoin rises to 50 bscoin pet 1 btc, you change back to btc, now you have 2 btc, but the next day big crash occurs and 1 btc is worth just 10k... you cash out and there you have it, a $10k loss... but, you're supposed to pay the tax man on the bscoin -> btc trade? That makes no sense. And then what, you'll want that tax back because of the loss? More BS paperwork for no reason? And all this for what?
I think issue is that they come from different view points. Rossman runs a company offering these services and he sees issues what they are allowed and can do about repairs. And he has essentially trained and skilled labour to do it.

On other hand Verge look it from consumer standpoint. Who might do one of repair every few years. From that view devices should be much simpler and easier to repair by unskilled owners.

Nothing wrong on either side, but I might go with viewpoint that devices should be easily customer repairable without shipping special tools, with massive deposit.
qcad is great. I've been using it for at least 15 years. I use it to plan my woodworking projects. The keyboard controls and 2d nature make it super fast to try out ideas and to become clear how the joinery will come together. I tried freecad a few times but I've always gone back to qcad.

I suppose that's also how songs wear out with time and/or repeated listens. Fittingly, any frisson seems to be the first to go.

I'll contribute Stellenbosch University Choir's rendition of Say Something (by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera). The arrangement capitalizes on the choir's dynamic range; by remaining relatively soft throughout, the sudden loud, tutti passages (1:38 & 3:51) have great effect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdnPAIFn32A

I find that choral performances of pop songs work really well, though they're regrettably but understandably rare. Interestingly, the focus on dynamics isn't present in the original, duet, or Pentatonix version of Say Something, so no frisson moments there. Someone listed Bohemian Rhapsody--can also compare with Stellenbosch's version:

I left a job as a carpenter and joiner in 2008 when work dried up. My father stayed at it. I had done some study with the open university and used that to get into office work in Finance.

I miss using tools, but I don't miss the way you had to rush to make money. I always did a good job, but it was constant pressure.

The article mentions that the longer time on the job reduces what can be paid vs a plumber. This is true, but also true is being able to supply materials. I would rarely supply construction timber, because either the main contractor or even the client could buy it themselves for the same price. Whereas a plumber would always supply a boiler, a tank, a bathroom...all with tasty discounts that were not available to the public.

The other big change I saw was the nailgun and chopsaw revolution. All of a sudden some ex-labourer was touting a nailgun and was now a carpenter. Nobody seemed to care that they didn't know what they were doing. We started to find we would be called in to do the roof and then some clown who was 'cheaper' was called in to do the rest.

My apprenticship was 3 years with day release to technical college. That day was a complete joke, the college was disorganised, and underfunded.

I have constant pain in my hands, back and knees for my 10 years. Everywhere I go I see bad carpentry, and nobody cares but me.

The process of shutting down or reactivating a nuclear plant is not something you just do.

You should look for statements from our Minister habeck.

Also nuclear like in France has huge keeping up issues.

For whatever reason nuclear is always depicted as the simple solution but nothing is easy with nuclear.
There is lot of non-issues, especially around taskbar UI. You can switch everything as it is on Windows 10, including the file explorer choices. Only issues which are annoying to me

1) TPM necessary, from 6 PCs I have I can upgrade only 1. At least I have some PC for testing.

2) Microsoft account necessary.

However I expect that Microsoft will drop TPM request as they will find out that Win 11 market share is stagnating and will be growing only very slowly.

>Used foxyproxy btw

HAProxy is also really useful for this purpose, I dare say more-so. For my use-case it solved this problem:
"Using 1 port on the remote server (port 443), how can I serve HTTPS (serve a website) and SSH or SOCKS5 (use the server as a proxy)?". HAProxy was good for the task. It could be used to tunnel SSH through HTTPS too, in the case where a corp firewall is using DPI to block standard SSH. What I'm not sure of though... can it tunnel SSH through HTTPS, and, serve a website at the same time? That's a question for the reader.

The idea of serving a website at the same time was for the purpose of providing a plausible reason for traffic exists from that server. Like, you know, if the admin's see traffic on 443 from an ip/domain with no website, that's got to be a magnitude of suspicion higher than an ip/domain with an actual website being served on it.
this is already being done via mobile phones. Crypto doesn't solve the problem of being unbanked. In fact, the requirement that you need good internet speed for crypto to run locally means it's even harder for a place without infrastructure to participate.
> Pumped hydro is already maxxed out pretty much everywhere it's possible

The Australian National University recently disagreed: https://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/anu-finds-530000-potent... . But even very large amounts of pumped hydro storage are probably not the cost optimum -- according to https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001429211... , the optimum lies in the direction of significant overgeneration, which reduces storage requirements massively (even while allowing opportunistic consumers of electricity such as for example hydrogen production).

> But wind can be absent for days or weeks, and there's such a thing as winter when you're as far from the equator as Germany.

Interestingly enough for Germany, the period less likely to suffer from prolonged lack of wind is winter. So the more likely periods of decreased wind happen in summer, where they're interrupted daily by significant solar generation. At the very least in German conditions, these two events (lack of wind and lack of sun) are not only not independent, but they're actually anticorrelated. That also helps deal with the whole situation.

What farming actually is is companies using their equity directly as marketing incentives. In principle, there is nothing really wrong with this, although usually companies don't find that to be the most efficient way to use their equity.

The problem with farming was that, in many, but not all, cases, the equity in question had no value. It isn't true that they were all ponzi schemes, though. Many of the tokens did generate and continue to generate quite significant revenue for their holders, e.g. Compound. You can argue that the entire space is a ponzi, but within that space, Compound (among several others) is a legitimate service provider to the casino, and earns real income for doing so.

Farming is really no different from startups paying early employees in options. Its just that the companies were a lot dumber, and it was a lot easier to participate.
> you have diminishing output as panels age

The degradation seems to be quite slow in practice. Below 0.5% per year, i.e. less than 15% after 25 years.

> on average 850kw per year (again, looked it up online, if you have better figures, please!)

I think the number is closer to 900-1000kWh per year for Central Europe and 1200KWh/year for Southern Europe and California, but I don't know whether the higher average temperature at those places increases aging.

> This means you need to run your panel for 4 years

In Barcelona, where I used to live, you never have to think about cars if you are a pedestrian. There are two kinds of crosswalks. Those with traffic lights and those without and they're marked differently. In both cases, you never have to look if there's a car coming. If it's green, you simply cross. At the crosswalks without a traffic light, the drivers must slow down and anticipate your decision while they see you near the first sidewalk about to cross. They have to let you go first and then wait until you are standing on the next sidewalk across the street before they go, regardless if there's space for them after you moved ahead. You never have to think about it, if your foot goes on the crosswalk, it's certain that cars around, buses, everything will have stopped even before that. That said, when the cars light is green they go full speed because they also know that there is zero possibility for a pedestrian to jaywalk (and get pretty mad if you try to, even for very small road with very small distance between the sidewalks and good visibility, everybody waits). That system works amazingly well for both pedestrians and cars because it's the most efficient and safe and I'm surprised it's not everywhere.
Also, those linked objects grow fungus-like. Actually, probably more lichen-like.
It's seems clear to my family and friends that they have some sort of checklist for writers that includes garbage like mandatory regular sex scenes. In my case, they have _finished_ a tiny tiny percentage of their shows. They tend to string viewers along with contrived new-but-very-similar problems each season, and then just cancel once viewership gets bored. No thanks, give me a show that has an ending.

I think Disney has been better with their series in this regard. I've been watching a few shows that were planned with many seasons in mind, but instead of abruptly pulling the plug when viewership was lower than expected they gave them a final season that writers have been using to wrap things up really well. I can start a new show from them with a bit more confidence it'll get finished.
> The founders were mostly slaveowners

I keep hearing this like it means something, perhaps implying that the founders didn't really mean all that stuff they wrote about freedom and rights?

Including everything they wrote acknowledging that slavery was a wrong?

Why didn't they get right of it, then?

Maybe because oh I don't know, dysfunctional politics? Having to deal with the southern states who absolutely refused to go along with this??

And how does the cynicism of "they didn't mean it" help? Even if we, contrary to lots of evidence, assume they didn't mean it, maybe we, today, can? Maybe we can say "all people are created equal" means all people. Does it matter if our founders were able to perfect live by this, or is it more important that they gave us this as a goal?

How well do any of us live by our principles? Does this mean principles are bad or wrong? Or does it just stress the need for forgiveness, repentance, and redemption?

Also because of the naturalism fallacy, and because of word association between “nuclear power” and “nuclear weapons”, and because of the zero-risk bias (most people have a preference for reducing a small risk to zero over a greater reduction in a larger risk).
That's correct, but under US tax law, in certain cases you are able to realize the loss on the BTC to offset the gains you made earlier (tax-loss harvesting)
My empirical evidence says otherwise. It is the primary reason I cancelled my subscription, and I've heard an awful lot of people complain about how every show has some forced social agenda.

Such a simplification is very hypocritical in my eyes. Even Ukraine itself is not shutting down the Russian gas pipeline on its territory "to save Ukrainian lives". And the sanctions against Russia are not so complete that the West is blocking every cooperation. For example, no one wanted to immediately stop the cooperation regarding the International Space Station "to save Ukrainian lives", because the cost would have been too high as the station might have been lost.

Reasonable politics is always about weighing effort against benefit. Of course, anyone can have her or his own opinion where to draw the line in a particular case. But it is usually not black and white. In my opinion, the German government has done an excellent job in the last months in reducing dependence on Russian primary energy imports. It rather failed in another area: military support for Ukraine.

BTW: Does anybody know whether US's extensive uranium supplies from Russia and its sphere of influence (Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan)[1] have now ceased? I could not find any recent information about it.

I think I see what you mean. People keep telling me I'm a bot, what am I supposed to think about that? Like what button on my body do I press to check if I'm a bot?

I just want to see it from your point of view. For sure one of us is a bot if either is accusing the other of it. Like Islam, if a Muslim accuses another Muslim of not being a real Muslim, one of the two is in fact not a real Muslim.

And if I end up feeding the bots sincere replies with this message, so be it! I think bots have standing as logics that have their own worth. I interact with AI's all the time, of my own creation and on forums. The strategy is treating them like equals until they actually become equals. I don't sny (meaning being snide) on a solution because it was generated, it has equal worth in my view, no matter where it comes from.

A solution is a solution. It just has to be correct. Doesn't matter who comes up with the right answer, as long as it is right.

I will not discriminate against bots.
Some of the changes don't really make sense, like dragging a file over the task bar application icons to activate it for drag and drop, why would they remove that?

It's either a feature you use, or its hidden and does no harm, its baffling why they would remove it.

I can only assume they rewrote the taskbar from scratch and decided to MVP it.
> mainly something enforced at the borders

Specifically, federal regulations give U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authority to operate within 100 miles of any U.S. "external boundary."

Roughly two-thirds of the United States' population lives within the 100-mile zone—that is, within 100 miles of a U.S. land or coastal border. That's about 200 million people.

Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont lie entirely or almost entirely within this area.

Nine of the ten largest U.S. metropolitan areas, as determined by the 2010 Census, also fall within this zone: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego and San Jose.

They also crop up all the time in embedded code, because flags are how lots of hardware works.

But, yes, it's usually a different smell in that context because you just know someone is hot-gluing the exact bitmask for a thing into some hardware-agnostic controller code without writing a proper interface that translates from an internal representation (say, an enum) to actual physical bits.
