> Doesn't prevent us from living a relaxed life

Well, In your own words 10 million people were actually prevented from living any life.

The cognitive dissonance is just going crazy, here. Or maybe I just fell to a troll.
In my early 30s. I get pretty tired about 2 miles in and catch a second wind and I’m usually ready for another 8-10 miles before calling it a day. That’s with an overnight pack including sleeping equipment. I find the tiredness and second wind happens regardless of the load. Even with no pack I have to push through and I’m fine.
The most obvious characteristic of a raging narcissist is the complete lack of self reflection.

Since Musk isn't running for office, I am left to conclude that the real reason for bashing him is petty jealousy due to the fact that he is way more wealthy and successful than Trump.
I'd be surprised if they don't have the capability to enable "linger time" statistics that collate frequency of new web site loads, memory demands, etc for performance.

This relates to the "how can they know how long I look at a web site for" asked above - if not specifically they do at least know the answer stochastically.
Indeed. One of the main criticisms of both Canadian major experiments with UBI (Manitoba in the 70s, and Ontario in the last few years) was that while they paid regularly, both programs were relatively short-lived -- a few years. This doesn't appropriately model the incentives and behaviours people would likely engage in if they knew with reliability the program would still be paying them in ten or more years. It wouldn't capture either negatives like people leaving the workforce permanently, or positives like going back for a four year degree they couldn't otherwise afford. Participants likely treated it as a one-time windfall (if over a couple years).
Just wanted to say thank you for m4b-tool.
This is a lovely idea, but in practice, has multiple problems.

Firstly, if your password must be changed, maybe due to a data breach- you can't change it in your password manager.

Secondly, different sites have different requirements on passwords- length, the presence of certain characters, etc.

Thirdly, while low probability, it is possible to have such a system compromised, and then passwords could be derived. This is no worse than a password vault, but a password vault can be changed easily.

A nice idea but not something to use in real life
Browser's can't verify the integrity of website contents.
Those would cost money, wouldn't they?

Politicians capable of getting such projects going might as well make changes at the source instead, and save us the need for the mitigations.

That's why Mozilla and Google have been working on the transition to HTTPS for years.

Mozilla announced deprecating HTTP back in Apr/2015 [1], to allow plenty of time for everyone to upgrade.

If you look at history, you don't economically catch up to the top dogs of the world by aping their technology. You catch up to them by leapfrogging them in technology--the newer technology allows you to undercut them, while throttling them of the cash necessary to retool to use newer technology. This is most historically most prominent in something like steelmaking.
You might have been up against a ground start phone line.[1] Apparently, some designs gave access to the powered wired from the phone line, and grounding this would trigger the dial tone from upstream.[2]

This, and I’d imagine politics is like anything else: you would really benefit from having people who’ve been there before to help you navigate. It’s the same reason why a lot of children of pro athletes become pro athletes.
This needs to be reiterated. Prologue is so good I will buy a book on Audible and take the extra steps to pull it on to Plex so I can use Prologue.
The problem there is we need hope or we won't do anything.

Given a hopeless outlook, 90% of people give up destructively, and the future of our species requires us to be better than that; to try. Together we will make some difference and that might make enough of a difference.
Even better, maybe add TLSA records too! TLSA when combined with DNSSEC can replace the need for Certificate authorities. If you want to show independence from CAs, that's one way to do it.
>After all, we know that this will save lives.

There are lots of things that we know will save lives. Banning driving of all non-emergency vehicles. Banning vices and handing out 50 year prison sentences for any violation. Banning skydiving. Banning soda. We can make a very long list of things we can do to save lives. But there is a price to pay, and that price isn't worth it.

Banning free speech and the free flow of information is not a price worth paying.
I like Lagrange: it supports both Gemini and Gopher. That's the way to do it IMHO.

>Covid killed 10 million people out of 8 billion in the planet

And that with significant effort in much of the world to slow its spread and minimize the loss of life. Without that effort, more people would've died and they'd have done so in a shorter timeframe, completely overwhelming healthcare infrastructure and causing more deaths from covid and other conditions.
One of my favourite trails in HK is MacLehose section 1 and 2 in Sai Kung, basically around the reservoir and through the beaches, absolutely gorgeous hike. I think it’s about 20 km and took me a good 5 hours last time.

HK as a whole is great for hiking, lots of different trails, that can get quite challenging due to the terrain. I usually do Quarry Bay to Parkview on Saturday mornings, great little 2 hour hike with lots of stairs to climb.
It's a bad idea underneath the surface. Literally.

Here's why:

1. Two thirds of Russia sits on permafrost consisting of frozen organic material.

2. If permafrost melts, microbes in the soil feast on the aforementioned organic matter. As part of digestion, carbon dioxide and methane are released.

3. Permafrost has already started to melt.

4. Once it melts, greenhouse gases are released (due to microbe feasting). This causes further increase in temperature, which causes further melting, which causes further release of greenhouse gases, and so on. It is a positive feedback loop; the process seems to have started, and will likely accelerate in the future.

5. Nobody really knows what to do about this.

If everybody moved to Russia, that'll probably accelerate the warming process.

Back of the envelope: for 20-30 kWhs of capacity less, you put in an ICE that can burn gas for 10kWh/kg.
> Covid has affected and killed enough "younger" people - by which I mean folks younger than 40

After 27 months, I know of literally no one younger than 40 who was even hospitalized due to Covid-19. I know a total of 5 people who were briefly hospitalized from it, all older than 60. I know of (very elderly family members of acquaintances) 4 people who died from it.

I live in an area where there are 3M people within a radius of 50 miles. We had no mask mandates, no lockdowns.

I keep hearing how much Covid has affected/dangerous for the younger populace (necessity for vaccination, tele-education, school masking, etc…) but from my own experience, I didn’t see it.
I think he can do 30-40km a day on his day off not that he is doing it every day :)
I like multi day hike with a 20lbs backpack.
Usually I can get to 15 miles / days with that load.

In town without backpack I try to walk 10k steps / days.
95% of employees say problems cause problems? Do the remaining 5% enjoy dealing with IT issues? Seems like a rather useless survey.
> It's not sufficient to tell people in western countries that they shouldn't drive SUVs or take long flights, you have to tell people in poorer (populous) countries that they can't have a better standard of living because doing so means more GHG.

No, we should tell them to leap frog the energy systems of the West and go straight to more efficient, cheaper (in medium to long term) energy sources like nuclear and solar. The same way many developing countries skipped over land lines and went straight to cellular for communications technology.

No it is not. Stop whining and go home
I'm 33 and just let week had the rude awakening that I now need to warm up to things.

Attempted a 3 day 60km walk with lots of elevation changes, on the second day my ITB became so inflamed I couldn't bend my knee, and had to abort the walk.

Prior to this I've done up to 30km days no sweat (carrying up 20kgs). So I'm feeling pretty depressed. It's not helped that there's so much conflicting advice when it come to physio.
It’s a one-off 2k check.

You cannot do financial planning or anything. Maybe you can get some new clothes or few other necessities but it cannot change the course of your life. You might get better return if you just go to a casino and bet it all on red.

I don’t understand why the researchers thought that this was unexpected result.

Now if they had offered 2k per month for life to these impoverished individuals, then this is where I anticipate to see a step change in their quality of life .
Converting forest to mass farmland isn’t trivial. A lot of these forests are actually wetlands and peatlands that take lots of time and work to convert.

When we bought a brand new GMC, Dealer A installed a counterfeit backup camera.

Half a tank of gas later, Dealer B claimed the warranty was void because of the camera. We brought it in because the radio kept freaking out and it would drain the battery if left off over night.

There was an active recall for both those issues. Dealer C fixed them by installing a firmware update.

As others have said, you can get better, but you're doing great just getting from zero to the stage you're at. Keep it up.
The simplest way to start is to look for a hiking trail that's near, accessible to you and do what's called a circular hikeb or circular walk, or day hikes. It lets you start and finish at an accessible location so you can go home.

These can be short but scenic and popular. The difference in view can be a huge assist in your hiking ability.

It will also give you an idea of how much endurance you have and whether you'll enjoy more. You could even do the same trail many times! Being out on a trail also lets you stop and rest. So you see, it's quite different from walking in a city.

Please, even if it's a short hike, remember to carry some water with you, a tiny snack, and wear hiking shoes if you can.
Don't want to be too negative but that's a hilariously bad idea. Basically the security of the scheme relies entirely on the strength of the master password. If a third party every discovers that password it can derive all your credentials (current and future ones) from that single password and the applicable URL (which often can be figured out easily). And if you use a seed file with this as suggested in the README you can as well use a regular encrypted database, which at least allows you to upgrade passwords.
This is a good point. On the other hand, drawing a compelling picture of a horse is a hard problem. I could do better than the stick figure but even my best attempt would end up looking pretty awkward and weird compared to a real horse.

I would need a lot of practice and a lot more detailed knowledge of horses to be able to communicate effectively.

This gets me thinking about how it is a lot easier to become convinced of an idea than it is to share it in a convincing way. It's much easier to follow along with a good explanation or argument than it is to recreate one after the fact.

It takes really deep detailed knowledge of a topic and strong communication skills to be able to convey a complex idea in an accurate, understandable and attractive way, especially if the audience is not interested in investing a huge amount of time on a deep dive into all the details.

I can see how it's a lot easier for short-handed versions or simple-but-wrong versions to spread, especially when someone without a deep understanding is trying to share what they've learned from an expert.
I'd say many people also assume such things about my country Canada. Both Canada and Australia have small populations, large land area, and are not in the news much. Out of sight out of mind and one day we're in the news.

For example Canada built the NIRISS (exoplanet detection and analysis) and the FRS (guidance) devices for the JWST.
Why Bluetooth remains an 'unusually painful' technology after two decades
Cool that phone is a nice find. I also find having a separate audiobook phone nice (smaller, better battery life,no notifications when I'm 'reading'). But I went for the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. It's really underpowered but super tiny so can fit in a pocket with my other phone, has a great battery life, and expandable sd card. I haven't paid for a 2tb sd card but a 512 gb works fine and is almost full now

The Android app 'smart audiobook player' is a godsend, really thoughtful app. And you can use an equalizer to reduce high pitch tones which I find easier to listen to
I'm talking about the wealthy west. So I do include myself. I agree that developed countries got us here.

I'm not sure an alternative could have been be very likely. We found a cheap, easily consumed polluting energy source that massively increased output. The negative effects are felt in decades or centuries, while the positive effects are felt almost immediately. This is a tough position to be in. Even though some people in the 19th century were well aware that this was a recipe for disaster, it would have taken an enormous amount of control and discipline to avoid the situation we're in now, if it were avoidable at all. Even today we haven't begun to reduce [global co2 emissions] and we have more awareness than ever.

Kotlin/Native exists, but, it's immature compared to Kotlin/JVM.

So it really depends on what you mean by Java - the language or the VM/ecosystem/toolchains. If the former, yeah you don't have to care about it (you have to be able to read it at least a bit). If the latter then you'll find it frustrating. The JVM is theoretically optional but practically required as otherwise you won't have access to enough libraries. The C ecosystem just isn't competitive.
We should tell them with tariffs and economic sanctions if necessary. Renewables are cheaper (even when firmed with battery storage), there is no reason not to use them versus fossil fuels. You have to internalize the carbon emission costs into the economic system to encourage the desired outcome, otherwise humans will do the human thing: pollute with wild abandon when there is no cost to do so.

South Africa just commissioned a new coal plant expected to operate until 2075, one that will never turn a profit (for various reasons). It should be extremely economically painful for them to make such a decision, so much so that they revisit the depreciation schedule of the asset and alternatives.
Talking beyond your snark to anyone else reading this -- obviously I mean solar, wind, nuclear or hydro installations either in the poor country, or in the rich country and piped into the poor country via HVDC at discount rates.

Anything less is quite morally unfair if you think about it. Rich countries have imposed this massive externality on poor countries and they haven't compensated the poor countries for doing so. If you make money by dumping waste into my backyard, the least you can do is give me a small slice of the profits.

Subsidizing clean energy in poor countries is a way to satisfy this moral obligation while also solving the problem you raised.
The (Fairly Serious) Case for Jon Stewart in 2024
Making this a moral issue is completely counter productive. People inventing the internal combustion engine and the amazing improvements to the quality of human life enabled by fossil fuels, did not set out to bake the planet.

Climate change is a technical problem in need of technical solutions, along with the economic insights and political will to make it happen.

I would expect that halving their monthly payments on that debt would have a significant effect on their monthly budget. Why wouldn't that be the case?
Fair enough, I agree with your advice. Thank you. In Singapore however there isn't really an equivalent of community college; there are polytechnics which are essentially associate degrees, and there are junior colleges which are like high school I guess (and besides I won't be able to just enter a junior college even if I wanted to).

But yeah I really do need to think more of their perspective and try to make myself more appealing somehow.

Why’s that? Personally I find it doesn’t compromise, but of course your mileage may vary. For me it’s a nice way to get a few kilometers in, and is better than sitting on the couch. Usually I’m watching a show or movie or YouTube regardless, might as well move while I do it.
It is not borderline. It is out-and-out denial. People like that will, ultimately, be personally responsible for collapse when it comes, but they will be better insulated from consequences than their victims.
Sure, and languages like C++ let you do this kind of thing very broadly, but it has a lot of pitfalls. One of my biggest gripes with python is that function interfaces and "type signatures" are hard to discover even when documentation is good.

> One of the main issues is that for residential pays a flat rate all the time.

One of the problems with real-time energy pricing is: poor people don’t have the cash on hand to replace their furnaces or upgrade their insulation- or worse yet rent and can’t improve energy efficiency at all.

It’s difficult to raise prices enough to make it economically rational for middle class types to get batteries and heat pumps without reducing the poor to poverty.

In 2016 a Tesla on autopilot mode decapitated a man because of deficiencies in its sensor stack. Rather than recalling and fixing the deficiency, Musk doubled down and refused to admit his mistake. Then, predictably, a second person got decapitated in the same exact manner. The issue still has not been fixed to this day.

Are these the decisions of a good engineer and a moral person? Or someone who would rather be right than prevent deaths?
Right so as I said, it's possible in principle but would require technology which doesn't really exist yet.
