This is interesting because I tend to think of packing as a dirtbag thing rather than a nomad thing... when I'm hotel hopping for extended periods I just bring normal luggage. Maybe I should start bringing my backpack instead.

My first impression is that this is a LOT of clothes and the electric stuff is a bit weird.

A few differences between dirtbag and nomad (the latter AFAICT is mostly hotel/airbnb hopping?):

First, you think a lot about food and water. Especially water, and especially sans car. It's VERY heavy and very necessary.

Second, my emergency pack is almost completely different. No vitamin shoppe merch. An ACE bandage, 8 aspirin per day from civ, 1 dose of imodium per day from civ, gauze, anti-bacterial cream, tape, suture kit, and one dose of a more powerful pain killer for serious emergencies if you can get it. No rapid tests (travel usually required a PCR anyways), but a couple KN95s. Cash in both USD (clean, unfolded, new bills) and the local currency. Maps.

Third, weight really matters.

Fourth, cleanliness really matters. You're essentially homeless. Diners and cafes kick out homeless people if you try to stay 9-5. In addition to organizing my life around being clean, I also had a whole separate emergency "Not A Dirtbag For A Day" kit.

I guess the other big difference is that all of my day-to-day stuff fit in roughly 15L so that I could carry 5L water and my gear could consume the other 20L.

I'm super happy to learn that Wasmer (https://wasmer.io) is the most popular runtime (regarding most people having heard of it).

iirc the issue is that its very hard to do a optical transceiver on silicon in current node & cheaply. there were companies like luxtera trying to do it but I dont know what happened to them.

at one point I hoped that deep learning would bring about the change because of the large amount of data involved.

My naive guess is unless copper interconnects hit some kind of a wall and stop scaling we wont see widespread adoption.

The article explains it well:

Here’s a thought experiment: Take a 1000 cubic feet room and a purifier that processes 100 cubic feet of air per minute. (I follow Wirecutter in using vulgar imperial units.) Assume pessimistically that all particles are the worst-case size. If you run that purifier with an E12 filter, the fraction of particles that will remain after one minute is

.1 × (1-.995) + .9 = 0.9005.

That’s because 10% of the air goes through the purifier and has 99.5% of particles removed, while 90% of the air doesn’t go through the purifier at all.

Meanwhile, if you run that purifier with an H13 filter instead then the fraction of particles that remain will be

.1 × (1-.9995) + .9 = 0.90005.

If you noticed that 0.9005 and 0.90005 are almost identical then congratulations—you understand air filters better than the Wirecutter. Both 99.5% and 99.95% are close enough to 100% that performance is almost entirely determined by the volume of air they process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Dean

>"Dean joined Google in mid-1999, and is currently the head of its Artificial Intelligence division. While at Google, he designed and implemented large portions of the company's advertising, crawling, indexing and query serving systems, along with various pieces of the distributed computing infrastructure that underlies most of Google's products.[3]"

No Google Infrastructure = No Google

Google Infrastructure Code Importance > Google Non-Infrastructure Code Importance

Jeff Dean > 10x Software Engineer

Also, on a related note, don't forget about the 5th Labor Of Hercules:

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labours_of_Hercules#Fifth:_Aug...) "The fifth labour was to clean the stables of King Augeas. This assignment was intended to be both humiliating and impossible, since these divine livestock were immortal, and had produced an enormous quantity of dung. The Augean (/ɔːˈdʒiːən/) stables had not been cleaned in over 30 years, and over 1,000 cattle lived there."

The expectation being, was that Hercules would attempt the process manually, it would take too much time (since he only had a day to complete the task), and Hercules would fail...

But Hercules didn't attempt to complete the task manually, instead he looked to engineer a natural system which could leverage to complete the task, in this case, re-routing a river such that the water performed the actual work, and he didn't have to.

Hercules > 10x Engineer

Now, compare this use of a system for automation with modern day computers. If you're going to build the infrastructure that runs Google, you must automate/engineer the infrastructure which controls the huge data flows (acts as the control plane) for the huge amounts of data that Google works with, daily.

Computers are not (abstractly thinking) unlike the natural force, the river, and creating Google's infrastructure (the software which directs it) was not (again abstractly!) unlike engineering a river -- to perform actual work.

A 10x (or greater) Engineer always thinks in terms of "how much work can I get for how much effort?", and "is there a better way to multiply the result from my effort?"

> If it's my app

Not picking on you specifically, because this attitude is extremely common among software developers these days, but I think this mentality of treating software running on users' machines as "yours" rather than "theirs" is at the core of a lot of problems with the modern software industry.

Software should serve the interests of its users, not its developers. The advent of ubiquitous internet connectivity, automatic updates, and business models based around selling ads rather than selling software have changed this dynamic somewhat and I think that's really unfortunate.

Here's a more useful source of data, including both raw and CPUI-inflation-adjusted numbers:

> "On this page is the United States average household income by year and median household income by year between 1968 and 2021. You'll also find the top 1% household income by year between 1996 and 2021, plus the top 5% and 10% for the full range. It's the newest data to this point in 2022."

https://dqydj.com/household-income-by-year/

Some takeaways (inflation-adjusted)

(1) the median (half above/ half below) is mostly flat over the whole period, with a slight increase about 55K - 65K; anyone near or below this is almost surely a renter with little if any savings working paycheck-to-paycheck if that, and no retirement other than Social Security and maybe a small pension.

(2) the top 5% has gone from 150K to 275K, this is probably mostly the white-collar professional sector who own their own homes (the top 10% mirrors this only from 125K to 200K). This probably encompasses well-sized 401K retirement accounts.

(3) the top 1% bounces around 500K, although that data is only tracked since the mid 1990s, and seems to track things like 2001 dot com bust, 2008 subprime crash, indicating this is the sector closely tied to Wall Street revenue. (This sector tends to have net assets near 10M, multiple homes, portfolios, etc.)

The general trend of increasing wealth inequality is pretty clear, see also:

Good point. It's really hard to adjust for inflation. On one extreme you can use the official inflation numbers, which are lies and damned lies to make the economic progress since the 1960s look better than it is. On the other extreme you can use housing prices. The truth (inflation as felt by the average household) is probably somewhere in-between.
If you read beyond those three words, I think it's very clear that they mean removing.

Where is the venom? As to disdain there is a core of truth which is easily explained by the large number of people who - though social media or otherwise - portray their affluent jet-setting life styles with a little bit of green-wash that just does not fit well with the current discourse which centres around the reduction of consumption and energy use. If you choose to fly around the world while simultaneously trying to convey your dedication to the "climate cause" you should expect to be chastised for it. If you just fly around the world without adding indulgences you will still be chastised but at least you're more honest about the fact that you simply care more about your own convenience.

Probably more aggro than necessary... Wirecutter takes H13 to be the minimum level that can be considered "HEPA" because that seems to be the "H" in "H13", per the same chart that Dynomight references in Wikipedia (though they cut off that column in their own article).
At first Facebook seemed to eat up Fotolog because of novelty and being able to do just a bit more than uploading pictures, but right as it did it decided to bloat and destroy the feed so people had no way to share pictures and be seen. That's when Instagram became huge and then got acquired by Facebook - because you had a place to share pictures again. Then they felt threatened by Snapchat so they added disappearing content and now they feel threatened by TikTok so they're mainlining video. The end result is that there's no active social network for pictures anymore - it feels like a good time for a Fotolog to come back, to make an attempt at memory permanence and small community connection instead of massively reaching disposable video.

The same thing could be said about Apple though, which is why both of these companies deserve to be heavily regulated.

How we built the note editor for Witful.com
The Wirecutter is a highly flawed review site, but at least it's a real one. There are vanishingly few left for general consumer products. There's WC, Consumer Reports, and what else? They've seem to have all been killed off. When I'm researching some category of product, I feel lucky if I find any professional reviews written by people who have actually touched the thing they're reviewing. I know we've all had the experience googling "reviews of X" only to get overwhelmed with SEO spam. Forget finding something written by somebody who has experience with it. It's hard enough to find something written by a human.

It's interesting that companies are these little island command economies inside the market economy.

Is there a better way to organize them? Would democracy really work? In countries, many consider democracy to be actually worse than an excellent dictatorship/monarchy. But it's a hell of a lot better than the bad ones. And there's no way to prevent a good dictatorship from going bad. Just because the king did a good job, doesn't mean his son will.

Democracy only works as well as the voters are educated and participate. Companies would seem as vulnerable to that as countries are.
Crypto app tried to take over a whale account to stop it collapsing the system
It's complicated. Google is (for Cloud at least; couldn't say for certain regarding YouTube) already in the business of identifying certain "high-touch" customers where automatic downing of their service would be embarrassing to Google and so manual review happens. If YouTube doesn't already support that, adding it would be controversial ("Oh, they're playing favorites with content? Come and see the censorship inherent in the system! Help help I'm being repressed!"). If YouTube does support it, Cornell may simply not have made the list yet because building and maintaining that list across millions of accounts is a hell of a cat-and-mouse game.

Google is rather heavily incentivized to try and automate as much as possible (and deal with the political blow-back when they stumble) instead of playing the cat-and-mouse game.

(As a fun thought experiment: ask yourself "If I were to design the algorithm that wouldn't have kicked Cornell off but would still auto-enforce the TOS, how would I do it?" And then ask yourself "If I were a malicious actor and the algorithm I designed were the one implemented, what kind of content could I create that the algorithm would fail to take down?").
Unintended Consequences of Giving Black Marijuana Entrepreneurs a Head Start
> But mullvad isn't targeting mainstream!

I agree, this is precisely why they're doing this. Putting their customers' privacy over their investors' wallets. This is a big ballsy move IMO. They're buying a lot of goodwill here. And taking a risk.

> Also mainstream only cares about VPNs because they believe it does magically things, like somehow better protecting all your privacy even if you are logged into Facebook or somehow making account hijacking or banking scams less likely :/

Also totally agreed lol. I often get questions from friends about VPNs. Always have to explain that privacy really doesn't work if you willingly give up your data :)

And no I don't use Twitch so not sure what you mean there, sounds like an interesting story.

> So no point in competing for this users without doing things like a ad powered free plan, free testing month, and tons of dark-ish patterns. Instead mullvad has I think a good idea about what works with their customers.

Exactly. They're not doing a tunnelbear.

> I think it still will cost them money (who hasn't forgotten to cancel and abo) but also might save them money (not having to handle anything in support related to subscriptions going wrong). And maybe with things like people pre-paying for a year, but stop using it after a few month it will also not cost them anything. Really hard to say. I mean it was also guaranteed to end up on HN, so free advertisement to exactly the right audience. That's worth some money, too.

I agree it's ballsy, this makes me respect the gesture even more. It's not the 'done thing' in this day and age. But they're still doing it and for the right reason.

It is my belief the software is serving the betterment of society if it offends the people who don't approve my activism ;-)

The other alternative is you start dropping requirements/features to meet their timeline, ideally leaning towards those they probably consider less important, creating the altered project for them. I’ve found doing so to be crucial especially for non-technical communications and when you jump a level (talking to a boss 2+ levels superior)

Otherwise if they won’t budge on time and features and resources, all you can do is put it in writing that you expect x-y time, and optimistically z might be possible.

Ultimately half the manager’s job is to account for that uncertainty with buffers, and they’ll probably double it anyways before presenting it upwards/outwards. If they don’t add their own buffer… they’ll probably run into trouble anyways

IDK about nomading, but when dirtbagging you have an excess of time. If the sun is down then your day is done. In the winter especially, having chores to do is welcome reprieve from the cold and boredom. And bathrooms or laundromats are so awesome. Warm and dry and bright.
It makes sense to not include all medical words because technical jargon changes all the time, but common swear words are very old. The word "fuck" is more than a millennium old and every speaker would have understood you. It's not Tim Apple's business to determine what words people are allowed to use.

The idea that expletives are not normal words is wrong. Common people have always spoken plainly. They would not have called their asses "bottoms" etc.
Levoit also sells more powerful air purifiers with particle detection, though. I think the point of this article was to compare the bottom end.
I've got a Blue Air 211+ and am pretty happy with it. I have extraordinarily bad seasonal allergies.

Well, I'm happy except the fact that the filters have gone up in price by 40% in the past year. I suspect this must be standard industry practice; launch a new purifier and price the filters at (near) cost. Once all the reviews have been written and the initial sales start to trail off, raise the filter price considerably.

Luckily there are knockoff filters.
