The damage stopped rising shortly after the Montreal Protocol was signed. However, the current state of the Ozone hole is just about what it was at that time. Things have not gotten better, they just stopped getting worse.
In case you still use the keyboard, you may be able to solve the wakeup issue by preventing the wakeup in /proc/acpi/wakeup - see (1). When I used a Surface Go 2, this was how I prevented the keyboard case from waking it up and draining the battery.

GW2's Living World had storylines that lasted for months with permanent changes to the world. Although there weren't really any or much changes during this few month period, only between those periods.
Well, my country sadly has virtually no suitable geography for "traditional" hydro. We have dams worth several hundred MW of generation (out of ~9 GW of average generation). So a dam suddenly getting built in your backyard is a non-issue here.
I only trust Volvo more than VW because they have a track record of caring about safety.

Vehicles aren't a societal purchase, they are an individual's purchase. They should maximize the welfare of the individual who pays up the money.

I'd be disappointed if VW didn't keep researching ways to get around emission targets for the benefit of the consumer and against ESG tyranny.
There’s an interesting effect to consider: in the current situation, centrist politicians can use their role as tie-breaker to get the best result for the state they represent. Assuming RCV benefits centrist candidates, a state can improve it’s leverage by switching to RCV. So you don’t need to convince people that it would be fair to switch to RCV, just that it is in their best interest.
The only difference I know is the autopilot feature set and I don't think anyone cares (unless you paid for FSD but most people dont buy that option for that reason in Europe).

It has nothing to do with racism, but good on you for bringing racism into the argument though.

Black box vs clear/open box are very well known terms. Some people use the term opaque box instead because it a more clear antonym to clear/open box.
I wonder which part of this (admittedly odd fashion statement) seemed surprising to you? Gas masks were of course ubiquitous during the war, so this was probably only about as eccentric as wearing an N95 mask would seem now. And the alarm clock seems like a fairly practical if whimsical hack in an age when chronometers would have been mechanical, and therefore quite expensive.
In Romania, the last election had a plurality. This resulted in politicians believing they need to listen to voters.

That is, until the top 2 parties could form a majority coalition in spite of their ideologies being opposite on paper, so they can continue the degeneracy.

I hope the next election leaves them with even less power.

> Paul Krugman once asked, if you go into an average house right now and you take out all the screens, could you tell that you're not in the 80s?

My robot vacs say yes, you can.

By the way, Neato’s robot vac regressed from its peak, completely autonomous models like Signature Pro from 10 years ago, to the cloud only lineups of today.

Sometime during the last 10
years was when data harvesting became more important than real consumer tech.

Peter Thiel and industry counterparts are directly to blame for consumer regression and the “world

Thanks for sharing this insight. I was indeed making the mistake of conducting "biased customer interview" (but with friends not customers). Will definitely take note.

Contrary to popular belief, you can be incompetent, unintelligent, and bereft of integrity and be rich, I know these people personally. Being rich is not a good litmus test for public office which is what we have now.

Great book, read it after a recommendation here. Even though I studied telecoms, the networking origins were still very hazy, knowing how everything started changes the perspective. As a software developer, I can even relate to some aspects of the effort.
Serverless computing is the future of cloud computing with more and more infrastructure management shifted to the provider rather than internal infra and ops teams. It isn't to say it's all or nothing, and it is a long enduring transition which is why the DigitalOcean integration between Functions and App Platform is differentiated related to some of the other vendors you mention. You don't have to choose between serverfull (containers, servers, kubernetes even) and serverless -- functions, and entirely managed services like CDNs, load balancers, containers that scale from 0 to N, SSL cert management, automatic build and deploys, rollbacks, API gateways, object storage ... and managed serverless key-value stores and databases.

So functions is really table stakes for a cloud, as are events, scheduled and background functions. You've seen this play out with every cloud provider since the arrival of AWS Lambda. Our goal is to make it scale, make it cheap, and make it secure with DigitalOcean developer simplicity and so you are right, a corner stone of this endeavor is the developer experience and integration with cloud services because a cloud application consumes all of these services. As these become core competencies for a cloud, the integrations between all the services only get better and deliver more value to the customer.
> We elect idiots that just do not represent us. We need to vote on issues directly and remove representatives.

We need to teach the Federalist papers. They observe “as long as people hold differing opinions, have differing amounts of wealth and own differing amount of property, they will continue to form alliances with people who are most similar to them and they will sometimes work against the public interest and infringe upon the rights of others” [1]. This majoritarianism failure is visible in a few states’
ballot initiatives’ chaos.

Anyone calling for direct democracy should be able to account for its historical failure.

> I wish there was a game where time travel was a core mechanic. When we die or get stuck in current games, we revert back to a save point, why not lean into that some more to build a compelling game experience?

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time did something along those lines.

Outer Wilds too, although in quite a different way.
There are probably a number of MineCraft servers that achieve this. Back about 10 years ago there was the /r/CivCraft server. Not sure which ones are active now, but it did feel like a real world with a real economy, since there were even shops you could set up to sell materials for a price. You had to be careful who you piss off also, since people could be "jailed" in the ender world. There was a large element of alliance making / political process in the game since you have strength in numbers.
> Australia has a robust ranked voting system but still has very dominant 2 major parties.

Australia's top 3 parties achieved ~65% of the vote. That leaves about 1/3rd to minor parties and independents. Surely that's a great deal better than having just 2 parties with any real power.

I also work in this space, mostly on websites for theatres, including lots on OP's list. Very cool to see this project

Such a backwards industry sometimes, although change is slowly coming at least in Box Office/CRM APIs for individual theatres.
Yup. I had the misfortune of being in Michigan, unemployed, at a particularly bad time. I applied to about 30-40 gas stations, movie theaters, fast food places... Everywhere I went I was told the same thing, "I'm required by law to give you this application form, but we're not going to hire you. Good luck." I didn't know anybody and couldn't get a job cleaning floors let alone flipping burgers.
Absolutely awesome! I've long been attracted to tracker software but I could never find one that really makes me want to use it. Although this is browser-based, it might just be the one for me.

Something I would very much like to see in all music software, including this one, is an alternative for keyboard-based note entry and preview that is not based on the piano, but on the guitar/bass. Basically, each keyboard key is a semitone over the one on its left, and keys ZAQ1 are mapped to notes EAGD (when in QWERTY). It's very simple to do and I find it much easier to work that way, because it makes it very easy to play melodies and find note relationships the way you would on a guitar fretboard. No guessing where the black keys lie, most things are transpositionally invariant. I've made this into a macOS app and after more than 6 years using it, I find it vastly superior and much more adapted to the limitations of a computer keyboard. The fact the keyboard lines are staggered is annoying at first, but I've been quickly able to get over it. I guess all guitar players would find that useful as well.
As for 1), I think it did? With games like Talos Principle, Turing Test, Spectrum Retreat, and other like Antichamber or The Witness, there's plenty to choose from.

2) this is a mechanic in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, when you die you can turn the time back to the moment before death.

It could also apply to the wear on the chainring and cog if their teeth are in a perfect proportion to one another, but without thinking too hard about it, I'm guessing that's actually rare. For instance a 2:1 ratio would be awkward for most cyclists riding on pavement (too low) and 3:1 too high, if they had to choose exactly one ratio.

I ride 46:19, because those are the parts that were in my bin when I built the bike, and it's a pretty good all-round ratio for city riding unless you're a lot more athletic than I am.

Also, those components wear out soon enough anyway -- a chain lasts 2 to 3 thousand miles, and a cog lasts a few chains.
that seems completely insane

I think car manufacturers will ultimately move towards voice assistants for these sort of tasks.
This reminds me of the 80s when every kid had a different computer and it was constant “my computer is better than your computer.”
I guess you could restart the whole thing to let new players join or people replay it. I am envisioning something like Mass Effect or Skyrim, which made money, but with thousands of other people with you. Perhaps I am underestimating the cost of the servers.

First of all, anything that is reasonably dry usually stays reasonably safe against bacteria. Unless the bacteria learns to combine oxygen with the hydrogen from the hydrocarbons to form their source of humidity, I think these should be relatively stable, still.

And we still have the option to store things in metal containers, like cans if we need that extra durability.

But under humid conditions, if bacteria become able to consume plastic the way they can consume organic matter, I would be even more concerned about regular grocery wrapping. Not only could the wrapping break, one could also get half-digested toxic materials into the food itself.
Volkswagen chief making optimistic prediction about own success has zero to do with "Elon anti-cult". We do not need to both sides everything and especially not things that dont even have two sides - like marketing claims or companies bragging.
To suggest something different: More escape room games for VR.

I have played "I expect you to die" 1 and 2 on Oculus and it has been so amazing and fun. Had some fun with two other escape room games but neither were as polished as I expect you to die.

There is zero replayability with these games but I would happily pay a couple of bucks a month for a fresh level every week. Kind of like a TV series but for a game.

Athletes are actually getting better. That isn't random fluctuations in a stationary distribution. The minimum qualifying time for the 100m in the 2020 Olympics would have been a world record as late as the 1960s.
I really enjoyed Hades, which is a lot more story-heavy than it looks from the outside. Historically loved stuff like Braid (hence "borderline pretentious") and happily replayed, but there's fewer recent titles on my radar here & I'd love to find more.

Edit: come to think of it, some of the Lucasarts remasters are well worth revisiting. I went through the cleaned-up Grim Fandango some time ago & it was a lovely break.

It takes time because maybe you want to go through it all, to either learn and understand more about your parent(s), or to judge for yourself what is "valuable" and what is "junk" - both very subjective terms (with exceptions of course).

It's easy to say "toss it all out in a weekend" when it's not your family's stuff.. hence your point about getting friends to help. :-) But sometimes efficiency and speed isn't the point.

My SO is going through something similar and it's a very emotional and meticulous process, where you don't want to miss out on a chance to learn about your family's history as you sort through it all, particularly if you don't have much family left.
> As soon as he gained power, he instituted mass propaganda and suppressed any dissent, so by the time he started annexing and invading Austria and Poland he was enjoying real and massive popular support.

He was enjoying real and massive popular support before he gained power, otherwise he never would have gained power democratically in the first place.

He didn't have majority support, but no political party in Germany at the time had majority support.

Can I piggyback on yours?

A true FPSMMORPG. Closest thing we have to this with a good community is Destiny. I wish for fully open worlds, good storylines and everything you said. I believe that was the original idea with the project that became Overwatch but sad it didn’t pan out.

I understand that level building and all is much harder when the expectation of detail is higher in FPS but hopefully that gets easier with better tools. I would think that it’s still Bungie’s ultimate goal. Hopefully Destiny can evolve into that. Whatever game does it right, has the potential to be one of the biggest games ever.
Drop the diploma req, and sure, that's a good idea.
For sure it's a valid concern and warrants a mark on my record probably but a 30 dollar bill after 10+ years of pristine activity basically removing my ability to take out a loan is a little unfair.
I’ve wondered if there would be less polarization if the number of representatives were not fixed at 435 but instead still fixed at 1 representative per 30000 constituents.

Sorry, I flipped 'country' and 'smaller state' in my response.

Voting is statistical mechanics not a guarantee that you individually matter.
Ok, by this logic Ranked Choice Voting has about the same chances as the proverbial snowball in hell, because if it gets adopted, it would be bad for both currently dominant parties...

To sum it up, in a two-party system there are three kinds of issues:

- issues which both parties can agree upon (getting fewer and fewer in the US currently).

- issues which benefit one party more than the other, which get polarized, no matter how obvious they seem at first.

- issues which could potentially be bad for both parties, which are not even seriously discussed.
> Then I was earning far in excess of my needs and investing much of the rest in index funds (e.g. VTI) when stock prices were low. The recession ended and stock prices soared. I feel scummy saying this about many people's suffering, but the recession worked out well for me.

Don't feel too bad about it. You were using what resources you had to give yourself a more stable future. If you still feel bad, use the more-stable future you've made to help others in some way.

Anyone with the money to invest and a long-term view can invest in a dip and come out strong. Buy when there's blood in the streets, etc. I doubled an investment's value (XOP, an oil index) because I bought when oil was in crisis a few years back, and sold for nearly 2x when the war in Ukraine kicked prices up. Technically war profiteering, but it's not like I planned it that way.

If a recession comes during a student loan pause, I'll be putting that would-be loan payment into the market if I don't need it to survive. If my car is paid off by then, even better, as I'll have more available funds to contribute to my portfolio.
