Firewood does not constitute a "substantial amount", by any industrial measure. It will continue being used, in decreasing amounts as very cheap efficient stove designs gradually penetrate the tropics.

Growing algae occupies >10x the area of floating solar panels producing the same usable energy. Harvesting and processing algae costs >>1 orders of magnitude more than delivering electrical power via wire.

The reasonable expectation is that transitions will be toward cheaper alternatives, with societal inertia acting to delay transition well beyond the point of obvious benefit. Thus, existing nukes will continue operating well after building solar + storage and then switching to that would be cheaper.
The bizzare thing is that Androids are just fine with quartz. It's not like they're all that big.

Watches use them to run for years on a tiny battery, so I see almost no chance the power difference would be noticed. Phones aren't really ultra low power devices.

iPhones are also designed to always be connected, so it's not like you need ultra accuracy, almo nobody will be using them for months offline, and the base ppm spec looks worse than quartz.

Temperature swings aren't a big issue either, if it gets hot enough to matter you will probably have other problems.

They must have really needed the space, or really wanted to think different.
Is the source code available for this?
Thanks for elaborating, I think this distinction does actually make sense. I do however still think that the this definition of intrinsic value does not really matter for justifying a "real" price. The intrinsic value ultimately is still backed by transactions that are at some point themselves market set prices without intrinsic value. There isn't any natural law that would say fix the price of 2 oranges to 1 apple that could support any particular trade. You could also for example use this definition to talk about the intrinsic value of equity in a bitcoin only exchange (from trading fees), which would obviously become zero if bitcoin went to zero.

Isn't the KJV popular among evangelical sects as well? I remember seeing more of those as a kid than any modernized version.
You don't even need to do that. The ARP packets seem to be routed to the network through the normal route table, so replies for the wifi IP get sent via the ethernet link and the network switches seem to learn that as the return path.

As for rp_filter, it's set to "2" on my machines, which seems to allow return packets on the "wrong" port as long as it's an address that any other port owns.
I don't know, all the hand-wringing articles I see seem to ignore what seems interesting and notable to me.

That is, the dollar has been strengthening for an extended amount of time versus other industrialized nations' currencies, and it continues to. Just look up some multi-year currency charts.

So it seems to me that tells us that at least the Fed is being more aggressive at countering inflation than almost any other central bank.

It seems to me to put US government policy beyond most reasonable criticism, even if imperfect, it must be better than everyone else's.

But the pundits seem split between moaning about how especially terrible the Fed is and about how terrible all central banks are.

I don't think people realize how good the US has it, and what we have to lose.

If you are not on the Pixel line, you're probably barely getting support measured in months. I absolutely despise most third party Android vendors. Samsung is one of the worst offenders for obnoxious unremovable bloatware, spam, etc. Rebadged AOSP browser vulnerable to everything. I don't think I've had LG phones supported for even one month after buying them. The Chinese phones are also wildly variable, like xiaomi not allowing bootloader unlocks without you signing up for their forum and begging them in a thread for months and it's entirely subjective.

I've had iPhone SE (1st gen) used for years, still running currently latest stable iOS and supported up to now.
I agree that it seems quite self-evident. But for kicks, here are some proper numbers of average price by OS (couldn't find median).

Shouldn't surprise anyone really, but iPhones are more expensive. Let's also consider the fact they have <14% [1] market share of smartphones yet are the most profitable and valuable company on Earth (excluding the one that's the extension of a monarchy/state) because of that product, which I think paints the picture.

The word "exploit" is thrown around a lot.

AFAIKT it only means that other people are having an interaction that the speaker finds repulsive.

This makes "exploitation" in the eye of the beholder, and not something that can be objectively measured or discussed.

Not buying the sunlight argument, equatorial countries are hardly afflicted by vitamin D deficiencies or seasonal affective disorder you see in Europe. Solar intensity is stronger year round than summer in some Scandinavian countries. If it were sun, we'd see similar patterns in myopia to vit D deficiency as you get closer to the poles.
People whould wear reading glasses even before myopia. And when they do get myopia, they should NOT wear prescribed glass while reading/working, but a reading glasses that factor in their myopia.

If iOS predicts better loan repayment and it’s legal to use, why wouldn’t I?
Well the iOS is so efficient in memory management that every new version of OS they release will run reasonably well on the older phone that Apple supports. Generally iPhone gives 4-5 years of support.

So you need to replace iPhone's less often.
GSK hails phase 3 win for RSV vaccine in older adults
What you listed is pretty much people's problems with billionaires. They almost all have a source of wealth from doing something that is no longer legally available to others, because it was deemed exploitative. The writing is on the wall that this group will be no different.

(Neither part of that bothers me, my ability to articulate other people's perspective is independent of my own)
The recommendation for something like vanta or drata are spot on, and they have some somewhat cheaper competitors. So at cheap end say 5-10k for compliance management sw then 7-10k for auditor, and try to bargain a bit. Also maybe another 5-10k/yr on security related sw.

FWIW doesn't make sense to me for most 1-person SaaS: if you had 30k+ sitting around just for compliance, and presumably 5-10x for other stuff, why not just hire a 2nd person? Small team can make sense if explicitly targeting a.niche regulated space tho. Otherwise wait till beyond a 2 pizza team.

Note: I think it's an indictment of sw ecosystem that an earnest & diligent 1 person SaaS can't easily pass SOC2 style standards, or something equiv for the scale. SSO, RBAC, SIEM, IDS, default policies, etc -- like a SOC2-level heroku kit. Drata & Vanta are cool, but should shift further left.
France is looking pretty smart for going so hard into nuclear power. Conversely, Germany stepped on an energy policy rake.
Adding my anecdote: I bought an iPhone X used in 2019, after being an Android user for a decade. It replaced a Pixel XL that I had for a couple of years (received new as a warranty exchange for a faulty Nexus 6P), but which was already going out of security updates.

I had the battery of my iPhone X replaced at an Apple store a couple of months ago, restoring it to essentially as-new condition. And given Apple's track record of OS updates, I expect it to be supported for some time to come.

That combination of first-party repair options and long OS update support gives iOS the edge over just about every Android manufacturer, IME.

Start of development could be a "hello world" commit, so I would say any critical judgements should always be from the 1.0 release. Far too much churn before then anyways. Rust changed a truckload.
The questions would be:

1) Will it continue to be legal?

2) Do I care about ethical concerns and does something being legal make it ethical?

Other people who are in a different position from you will be exploring this to determine if #1 should be changed.
I heard a stat the other day that 75-80% of new car buyers in the US are iPhone owners.

It sort of makes sense (especially given the crazy high average new car price) but I was still surprised it was that one-sided.
Should have taken the plea, speaking from experience lol.
Italy's debt is almost 160 pct. of GDP and Italy's GDP stagnated over last 20 years. And budget deficit is very substantial (and will grow in comming recession)...

It means that Italy could afford to roll-over its debt only due to European Central Bank suppressing for years yields on Italian bonds. But now market yields go up as ECB is set to raise rates and withdraw QT.

If Italy were to pay market rate on its debt it would bankrupt its budget. Most of Italy's revenues would go toward coupon payments of debt leaving very little for pensions, infrastructure, healthcare etc.

So it is not about not repaying debt but about Italy's inability to roll it over in the markets.

Single currency and single central bank in eurozone implies policy fragmentation - ECB has to address different issues at the same time. High inflation in the North and stalled growth with high yields in the South.
This title confused me very much, although it's technically correct it took me three tries to read it properly
No. The politicians benefit from the majority of people hating who acted, and punish those were lucky enough to have the talent to use money more efficient, and in turn the common wellness dropped because of the overall efficiency dropped.
It turns out that when your company doesn't make any products that serve the budget end of the market, the average income of your userbase skews higher than companies that do serve that part of the market. Who knew?

> One day, Berlinn was out looking for Corey in the Tenderloin neighborhood when she came across someone else’s son. “He was naked in front of Safeway

I was in San Francisco a few years back. No amount of beauty, natural or architectural, and there was a lot of that, can cover up the sadness I saw amongst the homeless. People shooting up. Others drinking cheap malt liquor and crying and drinking some more.

There is just something really broken in that city, and I have lived in poverty and have seen broken cities before. Perhaps it’s to do with the contrast between the wealth and the fate of those people on the streets. It’s hard to pinpoint it but I just couldn’t wait get out of there as quickly possible.

> Sonic games are consistently bad, but they've always been like that

I suppose that's my main point of reference so I'm a bit biased. Sonic games were generally considered to be good on SEGA hardware, and generally became awful afterward with very few exceptions. (Generations, Colors, and Mania were arguably the only good Sonic games in the past 20 years)
Interesting, why would rigid contacts lead to less degradation?
I see your point. But the flip side is how better off people do these silly calculations how they can penny pinch a 10% cheaper price on something the poor person should buy instead of what they want. What they neglect to consider is the experience of trying to penny pinch. And the decreased value of what they end up getting. I can penny pinch and buy a really crappy loaf of bread for $3.5 or pay $6 for sourdough bread with walnuts. Sure one loaf is much cheaper than the other, but you really do get less for less. Same with campsites. Sure I can penny pinch and get a budget campsite, but it won't be in a provincial park with nature. And I wasn't quoting some exuberant travel experience. Just a simple outing, a place a father my want to take his kid camping and fishing one day. The food prices are very realistic for actual real food. Sure you can do it for 10% cheaper, and 30% less of experience, and eating crappy food. But this is someone's vacation. Shouldn't they at least be able to splurge once in a while.
Remember though that iPhone market share is consistently 40-50% in the US, varying by year.

I couldn’t tell from the article if the survey was US only or not but given they quote incomes in dollars I wouldn’t be surprised.

So 14% may not be relevant here.
>There’s no ternary (?:) operator. Every C-like language has had this, and I miss it every day that I program in Go. The language is removing functional idioms right when everyone is agreeing that these are useful.

It really depends on your definition of success. If you know enough Stanford grads - you’d know that many of them will consider themselves failures in life if they haven’t founded and IPO/sold a company for $100m+. I know quite a few like this… I also know quite a few who did it and only think they’re a success in life because of said event.
Another option, hypothetical, is you export your emails to a common format like markdown (with embedded meta directly in each file; 1 per email or in a pair where the secondary file is the same name but stores meta only ie- in json) and then open them in any note-taking app or wiki or static site generator that works on markdown files (with some extent of configuration presumably, extra points if the app makes it sensible to easily organize your emails for optimal viewing). You could serve the files over HTTP, probably less hassle than running a secondary IMAP server, or alternatively you could sync them to your device(s) over ssh via git or zfs or an app like Syncthing.
In our experience meeting other foster parents at trainings and such, around half were fostering with the goal of adoption.

Fostering can definitely lead to adoption (and in particular there is a need for parents willing to adopt teenagers) but it can be a long process with no guarantees. On the other hand, it's much cheaper than other paths to adoption, either domestic or international.

In our case we are open to adopting (and the more kids we foster, the more likely it is that we end up in a situation where adoption is on the table) but we are mainly fostering because we know there are kids out there right now that need parents, even if just for a few weeks, months or years.
Jeff Bezos is no longer the CEO of Amazon. I wonder if that changed anything.
I don't know the EV battery space well. What is the capacity of the battery they are referring to and how does it compare to, say, the capacity of a Tesla Model S? Just trying to put this 5 minutes to 80% charge in context. As a headline, it sounds incredible. If I could charge my car to 80% in 5 minutes, I would buy an EV tomorrow, seriously.

Not really. It's true that KJV is the default for English speakers, but less than half of the church's members are native English speakers. Even among those that speak English, many study the NIV and ESV, for example. It's not even that uncommon to hear non-KJV quotes in GenCon for that matter.
While harder to define, it seems like as time goes on the Roman state apparatus becomes overtaken with people who are more likely to look out for their immediate benefit as opposed to act altruistically for Rome or their immediate community members.

My interpretation of this was the selfless people all died in battle, alternatively it could be the slow buildup of not only the individual but the societal effects of lead poisoning.
"My wife wanted to buy a big house and I kept blaming her for the stress."

Feminism's greatest enemies aren't necessarily men, but their wives. Your previous post indicated you "needed a bigger house" but clearly there was more to it.

It seems like you have great emotional investment in two things that don't reciprocate your investment: your wife only seems to care about what you can give her, and a job is by definition a business relationship with a company they can sever whenever it is convenient to them.

I would guess you do not have a good sense of self-worth. It's ok, it's really hard to have a good self-worth in a world where you are exposed to thousands of daily messages of inadequacies. It's ok to get some reinforcement from jobs, but just keep in mind it is a business relationship.

I hope your wife does not also consider your marriage a business relationship. Two kids are a "real marriage" not easily unraveled.

Hope the best for you.
I'm not sure that's correct. EU and Australia have been using contactless terminals before Apple Pay. Still, most hotels I go to want the actual card number (usually taken at checkin) that they put on hold. Payment can either be charged to that card number on file at check out or you can present another card.

I recently saw someone denied check in when they only had their phone at the Shangri La in Sydney a year or so ago.

Thinking back, the only time I've used contactless to pay for a hotel was at the Six Senses in Fiji. Four Seasons & Ritz Reserve usually still do the whole folio presentation thing at check out. Most of the standard corporate hotels (Hyatt, IHG, Marriott) I've been to have let you check out in their app to the card on file.

Recovery records are nice, but it seems like the lower layers are getting more reliable, and at the same time less likely to give you any data at all if there is corruption. Particularly anything encrypted will probably think a bitflip is a case of tampering, and things are way less likely to slip by than they would be with a CRC.

Nonfree formats are a pretty big annoyance.

But 7z is still highly non-ideal.

I still want someone to make a modernized sqlite zip format, that lets us fulltext search, add metadata, and has error correction for the data itself, with deduplication, deletion tracking, and efficient merges.
