Yes, every environmental situation is complex and there are usually many factors, but climate change is often one of them. For instance, lake Mead and lake Powell are both historically low. Part of that is too much usage. But the other part is declining inflow due to climate change. It's rarely cut and dry.

Actually, no. It isn't that great. A lot of people are correcting specific points here in the comments.

> More than one in five Bitcoin nodes are running an old version of the Bitcoin core client that is known to be vulnerable.

This is brought out as an issue, but it really doesn't matter. Being a large decentralized systems means that having nodes which are at all sorts of different versions, can still work. This is like saying that everyone has to be at the same web browser version for websites to work.

The thing that matters is that the nodes that are used for forming blocks (ie: the nodes the pools are running), are updated.

I've been on nonstop zoom calls all morning (last 5 hours), no issues.
I'd agree. With calipers and multimeters, I find having multiple so there's always one on-hand beats precision.

There is room for precision equipment on both fronts, but the number of times I need that level of accuracy is maybe 1% of uses. Having several is often handy. I often want to monitor several voltages at once, or have calipers locked to multiple lengths.

That's more general too.

Power drills and drivers too -- there are times for a really good hammer drill or what-not, but having one versus not having one is a much bigger difference, and on most projects, the convenience of having several is huge. If I have four, I can do a whole row of screws without swapping bits:

- 1/8 pilot hole for the bottom piece;

- 1/4 hole for the top piece;

- 1/2 hole for the countersink; and

- driver for the screw

Four cheap drivers beats one good driver.

Gotta hand it to them, a shining example of transparency and taking responsibility for mistakes.
That's a really good example of the sort of exploitative thinking I'm talking about. They clearly knew what they were doing. As do all the companies who let you sign up easily, but where cancellation requires filing a form "in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'" and then spending 30 minutes on the phone with an obtuse and obstreperous call center rep.

And it's all just such a waste for everybody. The first gym I joined was run by a very dedicated muscle-head who was at his gym a fair bit. You signed up for a fixed period, like a week or a month or a quarter. At the end of the period, you could renew if you wanted. And if you weren't coming to the gym often enough, he'd ask why you weren't coming. He believed in his product and wanted people to be successful at his gym.

But I'd guess part of the reason that doesn't dominate is that awful gym companies sucker people in, do everything they can to become credit card parasites, and then spend a lot of the extra money on marketing and on giving people good-looking deals that they know they won't use.

TL:DR; toilet seats and bathrooms are perfectly safe. Wash your hands.

I must be a very dirty person, because this article is very pedantic, and I would never consider any of these suggestions. I don't even wash my hands half the time, just run them under water so the other people in the house think I am civil and wash my hands after flushing the toilet.

Squat if you have the muscles, but be sure to aim because you might increase the risk to the next person?

This is just so absurd to me to be lectured by Health Officials and the NYT with then providing solutions to problems that dont exist.

Like seriously, the ONLY pathogen they could identify that COULD be picked up by the butt skin is MRSA. It's low risk, there are no stats or proof that MRSA is transmitted through public washroom seats.

And that risk averseness is parlayed into a virtue signalling lecture about squatting to avoid the non-risky public toilet seat, BUT OF COURSE be sure to (not shit everywhere) protect your fellow citizen from the non-risk of sitting on a dirty toilet seat.

I'm sick of the nanny state and all its parts.

BOLTR is ok if you take the review with a huge grain of salt, basically just as a proxy for having and disassembling the tool yourself. I largely disregard whatever AvE says and make my own conclusions from what is visually apparent. His standards for what makes a good tool are too focused on physical resilience - basically "if it can't survive being dropped into a mine shaft and beaten to hell, it's shit" is unrealistic for most people. Plus there's been reviews where he broke the tool during disassembly and reassembly and then blamed poor performance on the tool itself - the Ryobi Airstrike staplers come to mind.

This also goes to the other themes in the discussion here; there's few to no sources with singularly "good" reviews anymore, at best you have to synthesize from multiple reviewers and at times hope you can buy from a merchant with a good return policy.
While I agree that the original icons are quite confusing they are incredibly googleable and they are also printed in manuals everywhere and super easy to match. More importantly there are apps like Laundry Lens which can reliably detect them and explain them.

This is more or less the opposite of my experience which has seen Linux installs get so easy that I can guide my 84yo mother over the "phone" (Nextcloud Talk but you get the idea) through one where installing Windows on the same hardware is (if not impossible) a lot harder due to the need to get hold of and install vendor drivers. The same goes for installing applications where sudo apt install name_of_application is far easier that find installable on web, make sure it does not come with a bunch of spy/malware, run installer, answer inane questions to be left with yet another auto-updating program built in a toolkit which looks radically different from all the other ones on the system.

Is the Linux experience perfect? Certainly not, there can be hiccups - try guiding someone on the other side of a phone line through connecting one of those Dell USB3 docks which needs that Synaptic-provided DisplayPort driver - but compared to Windows it is a breath of fresh air. Since Linux in general only serves one master - you - where Windows has to serve at least two - Microsoft first, you may come in second but it is quite possible for some other vendors to push themselves in front of that queue - this is hardly surprising.
I would highly recommend reading some UX classics such as:

- The Inmate Are Running The Asylum by Alan Cooper

- The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman

(and I'm sure there are many more good resources that are recent than that.)

It's very easy as tech-savvy people like us to underestimate how hard technology, even conventions like laundry symbols, are. I personally have printed out a legend explaining the laundry symbols and put them near to my washing machine, but I'm the only person I know who does that. Everyone else guesses or struggles to use laundry symbols correctly, or reads the text in English if it is provided.

Now, does that mean we should change all the laundry symbols just because one person shared a redesign on their blog? No. Changing something that is so well-established has significant downsides and risks. But I think it's perfectly legitimate to spot their difficulties, and to pursue better UX relentlessly, with testing with real users. That's what separates a good (UX) designer from an engineer who produces something that fits their mindset but not the mindset of actual users.

What do you think the problem (one of them) with the Information Age is? The affordance of lookup makes it so that we have to look up more and more. And then we have to arrange more and more information in order to make the frequently-needed information convenient enough to look up.

This is a good thing. This is largely driven by people having more options and more things to do with their time. People have an endless array of video games and netflix shows, online political debates, they can learn to play the violin from youtube videos.

This is also partly driven by the destigmatization of being single, and the acceptance of asexuality (temporary or permanent). People aren't pressured into sex if they don't want it, but it's still available if they someday do.

“What” not “who”: the need to amend first and 3rd party thinking
>There's no technological reason for a 1MB limit that makes any sense. Bitcoin started in 2009. Since then there have been 4 main generations of the Raspberry pi, disks went in size from ~1-2TB maximum to ~20TB maximum, gigabit internet became fairly commonplace, and CPUs also improved greatly.

Increasing the block size from 1MB to say... 20MB ... will inevitably reduce the number of participants able to run full validating nodes. Consider various discussions on network traffic patterns for existing 1MB blocks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3286296.0

So the question is: Is the reduction of participants from the higher technical requirements significant enough that it weakens Bitcoin? (I honestly don't know.)

I guess someone can put together a spreadsheet model with some "reasonable" guesses for the ripple effects of a hypothetical 20MB block size and try to predict game theory of what might happen. Has anyone done such a math exercise?

Sure, many participants already processing 1MB blocks today can easily switch to bigger 20MB blocks with no problems. But many can't and we don't seem to have a consensus prediction on what the percentage is.

There are warnings on my bleach bottles saying not to mix with things. But that didn't stop my wife from doing it once. Generally people don't RTFM even if you put it on the bottle in big red letters.

edit: Just to be clear, though, I agree with you - people should educate themselves and the fact that people won't make a point of educating themselves is the problem. I've had multiple experiences where I paused to look up if it was safe to mix medications that were being given to my kids, or if it was safe to use a human first aid ointment on a pet. Sometimes the answer is 'No!' but the general reaction is usually "Oh I wouldn't worry about it".

Your attempts at gaslighting won't work. The OP appears to have created a throwaway account for the purposes of recommending to not use V and then to be used as a linked reference document for further attacks by competitors and detractors, as has already happened on various other internet sites, including here. This is also a pattern of attack on the language, used previously by other detractors, including here and on the OP's "evaluation".

And there is more:

1) The OP does not mention he is evaluating an alpha version of the language.

2) OP starts the "evaluation" with a link to a very contentious and controversial post from 2019, which smears the author and describes the language as vaporware (despite it being 2022 now and over 100 releases later).

3) At no time during the creation of his supposedly month long "evaluation" did the OP reach out to the V developers or community to verify anything in his report.

4) At no time did the OP demonstrate any good will by filing any bug reports or creating a discussion at V's GitHub. He had a unknown throwaway GitHub account, to easily do such.

5) The OP's "evaluation" summary (that can not be responded to) is full of opinions that are subject to interpretation.

6) Exactly how qualified is this mystery evaluator doing this negative review? Unknown.

7) Multiple times in the review, the OP mentions "we", as if he is part of a team. Who is "we"? Unknown.

8) The OP avoids attempts to be engaged in debate with V developers on various points about his review or make it known that he will modify it for correctness, fairness, or language version.

We're nineteen years into the project of digitally reifying human relationships - one that's snowballing into an unmitigated catastrophe.

Social media circa 2003 began as a codification of existing human relationships. One's first digital friends records generally were a product of social relations, but as the marginal cost of digital reproduction tends toward zero, so did the cost of digital records of friendship untethered from the supervenience of social reality.

The digitization of friendship as a signifier of the friendship replaced the latter forming a simulacrum - the signifier replaced the signified. “the simulacrum is never that which conceals truth – it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.”[1] It's this very digital simulacrum completely detatched from social reality that leads to "Would things get strange if I hit it off with someone and she asked to meet my friends and I said I have none?"

While a reflexive, "log off. go outside. touch grass. meet people," is easy to respond with, it ignores the real problem with the magnitude of the problem: there are few people doing the same - the world's social energy is hoovered up and mediated by the systems of digital social capitalization. There isn't a surplus left to interact with.

What's even worse is that offline interactions themselves are mediated by the online. The process of initiating friendships itself has been digitally systematized either implicitly by digital chance encounters or explicitly in the form of friend finding apps. The online world gatekeeps the offline world. The world has undergone a psychic migration and the former world is in ruins. Truly "we have abandoned living."

There's also been swapping to GPU memory (if free).

Yeah, that's a tough one. Actually many insurance plans (and Medicaid) say they only accept claims for multi-visit procedures after they're totally done, and we generally follow that rule for insurance. With private-pay patients, however, we've always said pay half at the first visit and half at the last visit (so there's no payment at e.g. a wax try-in). Some patients complain, but I just smile and explain that I can't change the rule.
