Not to mention a battery swap means having basically immediate power replenishment on demand.

I work around this with battery cases. Everytime I do that when there are onlookers, at least one of them want to know all about it.

Demand for this is pretty high, given my experiences doing an equivalent thing where people see it happen.

And there is also the important matter of making sure the device is off and not doing something a user might not want to have done.

Sure, an ad-hoc Faraday Cage is not that much trouble, but many do not understand how or even it being possible.
Interesting. Most folk I know fairly rapidly develop a basic intuition around Go as at the initial phases one leverages basic pattern recognition, which humans are good at. I think the issue you raise though is fundamental to the beauty of the game, which is that subtle differences in play have drastic emergent consequences.
What would carpentry work have to pay before the demand is satisfied? It is my view that many people don't want to do trades at any reasonable rate. I would imagine most people my age would rather make $60k a year answering emails and doing zoom meetings than $120k going to a jobsite early every morning in any weather all year long.

I could be in the minority, but I'm perfectly content with just having Netflix. There's a long backlog of shows that I haven't had a chance to watch, and they keep adding new ones.

Sure it would be nice if I had HBO max, hulu, disney, apple, but honestly I don't think I'd have time for them.

How many hours of streaming video can a person possibly watch that one would find stuff on Netflix not adequate?

Or is this more about keeping up with friends and families and what they watch?
>The DeFi yield opportunities require more money to flow in than to flow out.

Not exactly. In DeFi they just give you newly printed tokens. That's the "yield". Why wait for money to flow in when you can instead print it at will.
> "if you can send and receive a bit, you can send and receive anything."

No, needs work.

Part 1 - No system can be 100%, then you hit the Two Generals' Problem..

Part 2 - Just because you can send a bit, that doesn't mean you can send 8 in a row. So you write a protocol, then they block that protocol, you adapt, they adapt etc etc

Maybe something like ~ any system where you have any control over information flow someone has written a protocol to send porn over it.

That's just jumping of Rule 34, you could change porn to something else

Not an expert here, but from a commentary piece from 2021:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/nuclear-regulatory-council-nrc-...

> In 1957 the internationally recommended limit for radiation exposure was about 15 times the natural background radiation that people absorb from rocks and cosmic rays. Without evidence of harm from exposures within the 1957 limits, the U.S. had by 1991 ratcheted its public limits down to less than a third of natural background radiation.

This is a common theme that the WSJ opinion pages push. Much of the regulation put out by Washington isn't about safety, but more about bureaucrats protecting themselves from every being too loose with regulation. It's rare, if ever, that a federal agency gets in trouble for having rules that are too strict. They do get blamed if something happens in an industry they regulate, and people scream that more regulation is needed.
I didn't find it ridiculous. There were real, tangible benefits, like sharing the same validation code on the frontend and backend. Would I make it the sole reason to choose a given language? No, but there was demonstrable efficiency to it.
The fact that the practice exists would seem to argue against that.

>Apps, not sites. It’s even in the name, Single Page Application...you should probably build most apps as SPAs.

The whole concept of Single Page Applications was misguided from the start, and the reason for that is even in the name. Pages and applications should never have been mashed together. The moment we decided we needed apps, we should have abandoned the static document-based "page" concept altogether.

We shoul've replaced it with a browser-hosted VM-based execution environment in which proper apps could be built.

It's never been a question of MPA vs SPA. The question has always been how do you build browser-based applications in a way that escapes the impedance mismatched document/html model?

In Texas, if the house is your primary or "homestead" residence, then if the value of the property goes up by a factor of 2x in a year, then your assessed property taxes will only go up by 10% for that year. And 10% the year after, and the year after, and so on and so on, until the assessed tax value matches the property value (which will also presumably continue to increase, but maybe not by 2x every year).

So, typically the tax authorities will asses your home value one year and increase that, then your land value the next year and increase that, and the switch back to the home value for the third year, and just keep switching back and forth, and meanwhile pushing against that 10% limit as hard as they can every year.

But you do have to make sure that you get that "homestead" declaration filed correctly.

There are a number of ambulance-chaser type law firms in Texas that specialize in fighting tax assessments that increase by too much, and many of them work by taking the deal for free and then they'll split the savings with you if they win. Be careful who you choose in this space.

New Zealand does exactly this, and I’m of two minds on it. On the one hand, it seems easy to say that if you don’t have enough workers, you’ve got to raise your price - it’s a free market, right? Except it’s not. NZ has a very generous welfare system (compared to its very small GDP) and this means that being un- or under-employed is a viable option.

On the other hand, the jobs also bring in a lot of money for the islanders who perform them, and the wages are relatively high by international standards due to NZ’s high minimum wage.

We already have a cost of living crisis, and raising the price of fruit and vegetables by removing these visas for seasonal workers seems like it would hurt everyone without helping anyone in particular.
>they are not upping pay, because it's not profitable.

They could raise their prices too. When they say "it's not profitable" they mean "we would like to have workers at low pay, but still enjoy selling at low prices".
Considering how difficult it is to build just a house without the magical "pre approved plans" from the contracting agency or the realtors I don't even want to take a glimpse at nuclear regulatory code. If someone manages to build a new reactor we should also research how to create energy from lawsuits, because everyone in the country will sue them for absolutely every illness they get.

So then offer improved job conditions. Shorter hours, better safety, extra pay for shitty weather days, etc.

The problem is that it takes awhile to train for the job so the labor market won’t be able to react very quickly. By the time we’re adjusting the job offering it’ll be too late.
It's a four player game. You need four humans.

Few people born in the last few decades are familiar with any of the games you mentioned.

Euchre, for example, is probably even more esoteric than bridge.
Btw, the article quotes this man (Ethan James, from the "Honest Carpenter" YouTube channel). I was going to link the same video, because I watched that last year as well.

> in service of the public good.

being in service of the public good is not offering a service. Their job is to regulate industry, not offer it a service.

If you want a service you hire someone to fulfill it. The US government created the 'service' but not for industry, but for the regulation of industry. The 'service' isn't offered to industry for the good of industry. It's the opposite of a normal understanding of service.

If you are regulated have no choice whether to take the service or not, and your say in their 'services' is extremely limited.

Calling it a service is an activity in intentionally misleading what an organization like the NCR does. They are not a service. They are a regulator.

You are intentionally conflating two disparate definitions of service ('they offer a service' vs 'they are in the service of') and really for no gain except to come up with your own mandate for an NCR that already has one, and doesn't care about your opinion because they receive their mandate from government and not from you and your intentionally misleading arguments.

WhatsApp is the 3rd largest social media platform in the world with 2 billion users. FB today is worth about $400 billion more since buying whatsapp. This is after the recent stock market correction. FB could today sell WhatsApp for a lot more than what they paid for in 2014. Say what you want about zuckerburg, but his purchase of instagram and whatsapp was a big win for him and facebook.

This isn't a very good point. Firstly, the sister was 17, so the classification as statutory rape is quite arbitrary and specific to California. Secondly, this is the same woman who went on to rob Parsons of his life savings together with Hubbard (head of Scientology) and also founded Dianetics (the precursor to Scientology), again together with Hubbard.

I could understand putting them all in the same rotten basket, as presumably all actors here were morally bankrupt, but making it seem like Parsons wronged Sara Northrup Hollister makes absolutely no sense.

Dive computers with replaceable batteries 100% have user-serviceable o-rings that need lubing and eventual replacement. My Shearwater came with both grease and 2 replacement o-rings.

HP hoses and o-rings also can and do fail, and, once again, divers are trained to look for signs like the rubber bubbling. There is also not really a difference between the o-rings used in HP and LP hoses and equipment outside the size, and I gave examples of LP hoses failing.

These all require regular maintenance and replacement, and, once again, divers are trained and should be checking their equipment regularly.

But that's all beside the point, which is that your claim is that "[o-rings] are extraordinarily reliable". Except they are not, they require replacing all the time. They may be industry standard, but they are fall from infallible.
Proof of Stake and Clouflare’s next experiments in Web3
Ha. I joined the Navy in the 90s and when I got out I tried to get into auto mechanic school. They wanted me to sign up for an apprenticeship at a car dealership and were happy to take my tuition money. But no one would allow me (female) to apprentice. They would say "sure...wait a bit for a start date" then I would call to ask when to come in and they would always have given the spot to a male student.

Even after getting into the IT field, I tried to learn carpentry. I went to local shops that had the tools. No one was receptive to me for some reason. They were either closed during the times I could go after work, or defunct, or only wanted people who already knew carpentry (WTF).

Anyway, I entered software development because it was the only field that would hire me entry level. Aaaaaandd the only field I could actually self-teach. I am grateful for that fact...that you can teach yourself through books (back then no StackOverflow haha) nor Youtube, nor Udemy, etc. Just plain push yourself through the text books available. I spent a LOT of time at Borders books and Barnes and Noble, trying to figure things out.

You can't really do that with carpentry. Maybe you can self-teach auto repair. But as a woman, not even my family members would spend time to teach me (I had a cousin that was embarrassed to have me help out at his auto shop).

I got away with self-teaching IT as a black woman because it is not nearly as sexist or racist as other fields, with Indian and other immigrants showing the way to enlightenment to a great degree (in my personal experience).

Saying "whole screenfuls of data at a time" was me simplifying things for the benefit of the uninitiated. In terms of what actually happens (from what I understand), the 3270 controller sends the host an interrupt to say some terminal has data ready. When the host gets around to it – on a busy mainframe system with thousands of terminals, the interrupt would be queued while the host had finished processing data from other terminals – the host would send the controller either a READ BUFFER command (which would send the host the entire contents of the screen) or a READ MODIFIED command (which would only send the modified fields). Most 3270 apps would define fields on the screen using START FIELD (SF) special characters, which is essentially what you mean by "protect mode protocol" (3270E added START FIELD EXTENDED, SFE, which allowed you to do fancier things like change the text colour, or define a field as numeric only, so the terminal would not allow alphabetic characters to be input into it), and then read only the modified fields back using READ MODIFIED. I believe READ BUFFER was mainly used for legacy applications which were written prior to the invention of READ MODIFIED (in particular applications originally written for the 3270's 1960s predecessor, the IBM 2260, which didn't have any such concept.)

Well, I would probably put WotC somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, but that's still pretty different from the old-school style of play that XP-for-gold really shines for.

WotC also isn't really pushing narrative play mechanically, but instead culturally aligning itself on the sort of role-play-heavy style that's growing because of the broad success of Critical Role and others. Because of those shows, most people's conception of D&D includes lots of talking in character and extensive character backgrounds and long story arcs carefully planned by the GM, which are all pretty narrative in my book.

The real big difference between 2011-2012 and now (in my, albeit biased, opinion) is the popularity of the OSR (old-school renaissance.) The OSR has gone mainstream (I can find OSR material at my local game store now!) So while the narrative indie scene keeps developing and the OSR scene does as well, WotC is sort of caught in the middle, and players fall anywhere along the spectrum (even when ostensibly all playing D&D 5E, which has hacks and optional rules to push it one way or the other.) But imo most are pushed to the narrative side because that's what most people are exposed to in the form of Critical Role.
Until pkg(8) came around ports were one of my least favorite parts of FreeBSD. I like(d) pkgsrc even less.

Part of it was the simplistic support for binary packages that felt entirely like an unwanted afterthought. Compile everything from source just doesn't scale especially if you want to use complex, slow-to-compile projects like gcc or firefox.

The other part is that make(1) is SLOW and simply does not scale to the size of something like the ports tree. It's also a bit tedious to use out of your ports tree and the documentation was kinda meh. There were a number of hacks layered on top that sort of eased the pain (I want to say portupgrade?, I never got into portmaster) but always felt really brittle and things were always getting out of sync. Even pkg(8) is a bit funky (and I don't particularly like the reliance on srv records no matter how elegant a solution it may seem).

> I still feel uneasy using stuff like FreeBSD+Ports on non-personal projects, like for projects at work.

I would never use ports in a production environment without some detailed justification. The binary packages are the way to go. Building your own ports (as in your own software not building your own copy of an existing port) is also a bit of a trial by fire thing involving a lot of hair pulling. Dunno what the update quarterly stuff is about tho, I run pkg update weekly to keep on top of things – but I track the latest repo not the quarterly one.

Honestly one of the few things I miss about Linux is the Debian package ecosystem. But as I learned with fink on OSX it's not just the infrastructure that matters.
If you're defining Rock, Paper, Scissors as a game of pure skill, that's probably an indication that your definition is bad.

I've only heard the, you know, missing-finger classic table saw horror stories very indirectly, honestly. My parents both spoke of OSHA rules like they were the gospel of the earth below, and the union had the power to ruin the company's day if they weren't following them. Non-union work here is very, very different, though -- some stories aren't mine to repeat, but I'll note "Helpers, construction trades" here:

Even on following-the-rules job sites, "safely" is always kind of relative; when lifting and carrying and repetitive motion can be the causes of disabling injuries, it gets really hard to define bright lines with which you can protect yourself over decades. To some extent, taking time and being careful are the guards you have, but ... any American workplace knows that having your employees exercise wide individual discretion to set an appropriate pace -- well, that doesn't sound like Maximizing Efficiency, does it? (Sorry, I did try to tone down the bitterness here.)

Actually, there's a specific gauge on that I'd be curious to compare against, even anecdotally, for how things differ there: how common are people getting hernias at work?
