> If an axis of China, Russia or and any other countries domainate space, you aren't free or sovereign when you need to ask their permission.

That doesn't mean the US needs a space force. It's not clear the assumption is accurate, that those countries seek to dominate space, or that such an axis exists. There are many, many outcomes besides national military competition: For example, throughout the Cold War the US and Russia kept space pretty demilitarized and non-competitive, and even used it to promote peace by allowing flyover and intelligence gathering to support treaties and prevent misinterpretation of actions.

> Managing orbital and space faring traffic and securing access to key orbits that facilite whatever economics come out of them is essential.

In what other domain are those functions performed by the military? Usually they are performed by cooperative intergovernmental bodies, such as the International Maritime Organization.

> in the next 50 years, near earth orbits are going to be full of self-defending orbital satellite and space faring vehicles providing economic resources back to nations on earth.

That's a pretty bold prediction with no support. Self-defending satellites?
I'll take that job. Those nuggets get everywhere, checking if it looks like people are writing a letter, they probably have an Intelligence function second to none in any major business.

I think a lot of confusion comes from meetings with no agenda/context. The organizer should be required to include a reasonable context for what is going to be discussed and decided in the meeting. I’ve only worked in one company where this was widely adhered to and it was amazing (meetings often declined without agenda on invitation). Before and since, I often just have no idea what I’m walking into and tend to think of my best questions after it’s ended. If I had some time to view the agenda, pre-read the materials (slide deck, etc), and collect some base level thoughts before having 2 slides per minute of content shoved in front of me; then I’d be better prepared to participate IN the meeting.

As my career has matured, I’ve just become better at making sure I’m up to speed and understand (at least conceptually) the topics at hand. I also build relationships with everyone such that I can have sidebar conversations and seek clarity on things when needed outside the meeting. Also, have become pretty good at just filtering/ignoring the stuff that’s not important (to me).

I've been working for the USSF since it split from the USAF. The split was a good thing because it moves the funding decisions for critical systems up a level. People mock the Space Force because it was created under Trump, but air and space really are such different domains that it needed to happen.

Sounds about right for Sony.
Remove the buttons entirely and replace with a QRcode/NFC thing where each rider can vote/unvote where he personally wants to go. This can also work outside before the elevator arrives so a routing system can decide to bundle up a bunch of people going to the same floor in one express elevator. Haven't thought out how the ux would look to keep the wrong people out of that one elevator.

Perhaps "fiat" was too loaded of a term. What I mean to say is that, since GNOME is an integrated system, there is no particular need for it to depend on Wayland implementing some random feature that X11 has. On top of that, since so much of Wayland is implemented in the compositor, it's likely that Mutter can make up for any missing features in Wayland.

Therefore, as you say, there's no incentive for the GNOME developers to support X11, and the devs are free to say "Use GNOME on wayland, implement an X11 backend for GNOME/GTK yourself, or don't use GNOME" which, in practice, boils down to "Use GNOME on Wayland, or don't use GNOME" and is, effectively, a fiat to use Wayland if you want to continue using newer versions of GNOME.

I also didn't intend this to be judgemental; GNOME is almost certainly the most complete desktop environment for linux. I personally use KDE as my desktop, but most applications I use are not part of KDE (or even built using Qt). Conversely, a typical desktop user could probably get by using just GNOME applications (plus maybe libre-office for opening MS documents that can't be handled within GNOME). IMO a large part of what makes this possible is by being judicious in what is supported.
> Normally the creation of a new division of the military has stemmed from a new domain that is being controlled by the command structure of another domain which is impeding their mission.

The Air Force is ran by pilots. Mostly former fighter pilots and the occasional bomber or transport pilot. This is even true to a lesser extent with the civilian leadership (for example Barbara Barrett was fond of flying F-18s). Not surprisingly, that focus on the air domain was reflected in the AF's budget priorities— countless instances of situations where space funding gets raided so that the Air Force can keep buying A-10s and F-35s.

There's also all kinds of bureaucratic problems that happen when space is a secondary concern for every branch, such coordination issues— GPS is a good example of this, where the Air Force was in charge of some segments while the Army was more or less responsible for building the actual GPS receivers. I would also argue that the sort of acquisitions that the Air Force often does (e.g. spend a bazillion dollars and a decade to develop a new bomber, then fly the same design for 50 years with only minor upgrades) is not going to fly in the longer term if applied to space.

> Everyone is deathly afraid of making too many changes too fast because when those systems break the money stops flowing and a health system will literally go insolvent.

Isn't this the desired outcome, that such organizations go broke? And let their assets, employees and customers go to some other organization that isn't saddled with technical debt?
Longer story, but the timing of the emergency and recovery period fell within an ineligibility window for COBRA. My previous insurance company wouldn't have covered it anyway. It was the worst Blue Shield plan that I didn't even know could be legal. Also, I got the first few bills, was like okay, I'll just pay these off and move on and not even bother. These were the only bills I could find in their patient portal at the time. Then I got hit with the massive ones that made my head spin. By that time I had started at my new employer, my new insurance hadn't kicked in and I was outside of the COBRA window, not that it would have covered it anyway.

From now on I'm making sure I have good insurance, which requires a crazy amount of due diligence, but not something I'll take for granted anymore. It's one of reasons I'm currently trying to move to another country. Quality of healthcare is important, but how much does it matter if you're in massive debt, lost nearly everything, and don't have a retirement anymore?
> Yeah, I’ll need to see a source here.

I'm not "sourcing" this information from any news site which I could share a link to, but from a personal experience. May have screenshots showing the issue but not where I can find them at this time.

I was incorrect however, but not so much. The effect was as stated - my searches were going to Google which I have never previously visited on the browser and which I did not intended to share any information with.

In 2020, Firefox version 80.0 (or a minor version under 80.0) introduced changes to search which included Google icon appearing as the first, pinned, position on shortcuts (Top Sites) list with a little blue magnifying glass icon sticked to it. At the same time address bar searches started going to Google despite DDG being configured as a main search engine.

Google being inserted as a top position of "top sites" somehow made Firefox use it as a first dropdown position in address bar and all searches typed into the address bar were going to Google as it was the top choice. This was happening while DuckDuckGo was still set as the default search (this I didn't remember correctly - default search engine was not changed but ignored when using address bar) and the only way to remove this behavior was to enable top sites (which I had hidden), remove Google icon from new tab / top sites list and then it disappeared from search bar dropdown list.

The fact which I think should not be ignored here is that Mozilla renewed their deal with Google just weeks prior to this "incident". This makes me think that this was an intentional not incompetent move.

i am not surprised that he made this move quietly.

poettering's work attracted a disproportionate share of criticism, and moving to microsoft is not exactly a helpful move to quell that criticism. on the contrary, it will only get worse.

since he continues to work on systemd, critics will now start to decry systemd as being a microsoft product, or at least strongly influenced by microsoft. so this move is likely to strengthen the anti systemd camp. we'll see what comes from that.
Exactly. IT, software, systems, etc… are viewed as a cost center. Hospitals aren’t in the business of selling software. How do you increase profits (or get yourself promoted, a bigger bonus)? One way is contain or reduce cost centers. The incentives are stacked against overhauling antiquated systems and modernizing, at least until the issue is forced by major business disruptions or regulations.
Buying a used car is a similar experience, especially if it is a classic. So many quick-fixes, modifications, fixed and unfixed damage, and for vehicles from the 1960s even differences in factories.

A guy I used to work/hobby with could tell you which factory a Mustang was built in, and though in my era (1990s) the markings had all been gone, it is said that he and others could even tell you the name of the guy who assembled certain parts by the markings or other inconsistencies. When restoring a Mustang, these details (e.g. built by Mario in Dearborn in early 1967) are replicated by a good restorer. I believe that Jaguar also has affectionados who know the cars to that level of detail.
There are annual out of pocket maximums. Mine is something like $7000 last I checked. Its a lot of money, but not an amount that would bankrupt most people.
> Again, look at media companies for that collapse — WarnerMedia, Netflix, Disney, etc.

What collapse? These are e some of the biggest and most profitable companies in the world. Netflix stock went down because the market foolishly expected that all of the subscribers Netflix gained in two years of extremely reduced social lives would not only stay subscribed, but were representative of how fast people would keep subscribing. When this obvious idiocy turned out to be false, the stock plummeted back to more realistic levels it had pre-pandemic.

By the way, I also tried to find out what you meant by DIE, and came up empty handed (though I'm sure searching for WEF DIE has put me on since watch lists somewhere).
I believe I read it in an article quite a few years ago. I'm near 100% certain that's what the article said, though it's possible the author of the article was wrong or was misquoting someone. I don't see a need to retract most of my comment; the second and third paragraphs still hold. I still see little need to migrate to GTK4 (and one of my recent projects simply cannot be built with GTK4 due to features that were removed), and if GTK5 does eventually drop X11 support, I certainly wouldn't bother with it... unless of course somehow X11 actually disappears.

The libadwaita stuff is also super weird and IMO implemented poorly, and in a way that basically says "if you aren't using GNOME we don't care about you". Want to run an app that uses libadwaita outside of GNOME? Sure, but expect it to look completely out of place since it won't use your desktop theme.
> You read 'a=b+c' and you literally have no clue what that means.

I never understood that argument. Even in C operators do different things depending on what types you pass it. Two very simple examples:

1. Adding a number to a char* vs adding a number to an int* (or a pointer to any other larger type). The second automatically creates an invisible multiplication. This was confusing for me when I first learned C after already knowing the concept of a memory address (which is just a number). It was an unexpected abstraction for me.

2. This regularly bites novices to programming: Dividing two numbers. If at least one of them is floating point, you get the 'correct' result, overwise rounded towards zero. To 'fix' it, you have to explicitly cast at least one of them to float or double. Then the language imlpicitly casts the other for you. std::pow went the other way, which is less confusing. It always promotes integers to floating point numbers and returns a floating point result.

As soon as your language has types and operators, you get operators that do different things based on the types of the values they are applied to. The only new thing that operator overloading adds is that it makes libraries first class citizens.
I just quickly scrolled through my collection and here are some random, but fantastic instrumental albums I've used while "in the zone":

- Miles Davis: In a Silent Way
- Brian Eno: Ambient 4: On Land
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor: F♯ A♯ ∞ (one of my favourite albums. listen with your best headphones. HD650s are good)
- Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works Volume II
- Mozart: Requiem (my first proper introduction to classical. I was absolutely blown away)
- Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
- Sun O))): Black One (extremely experimental doom metal. the musicality of it is questionable at times but it's fantastic to study to)
- Sleep: Jerusalem (occasional vocals but trust me they're not distracting)
- Tim Hecker: Harmony in Ultraviolet
- Bill Evans: Sunday at the Village Vanguard

The worst part about these sorts of things is that 30 seconds after posting I'll remember all the awesome albums I forgot and kick myself for it.

I live in Veneto.
Once I went to a friend's friend small, vertival apartment in Burano Island, door at ground level directly in front of a public square. He lives there few months of the year.
He told us how tourists went into his house thinking it was an attraction, making photos of his stuff like crazy. Once he had to threat an asian tourist with a knife to get him out.

This is long overdue, I hope they succeed. Tourists has lost all respect for an old, hard to live, beautiful city, and for the (shrinking number of) people that still live there.

On weekends from april to october Venice is almost unbearable for normal people.
It is like the Wall Street getting ex-hippies during the early 80's.

I tried to translate it. I'm sure I didn't get it right because it is hard to parse:

As psychiatrists we see a lot of people coming in saying "Man, I feel like an imposter. I just don't measure up." Most of the time we'll convince them everyone feels that way and they should chillax. It ain't no big thing. A lot of famous people talk about it, almost like they're bragging or something.

If that doesn't work we tell them it's just a meaningless label people throw around for something else that is going on. It's modern "disease" of the times. You hear others throw the words around and pretty soon you're wearing that jacket.

Now the old white dudes had some thoughts on this but they're outdated. They can't help us because they weren't hip to the needs of women and people of color.

You might think most people would go away at this point with less anxiety, but here we get to the real subject we want to speak on, which is privileged people who grew up being told they were special and then finding out everyone in their circle was told the same thing. We can't all be special, lets face it. It's quite a let down for some. It's doubly hard if they haven't separated from their parents yet but no longer get their parents daily affirmations of their specialness because they don't live with them anymore.

Those privileged people usually want to go away feeling good about identifying the problem and vowing to learn a little humility, but this is where we get them. We tell them that they are special, but the capitalist system wants to keep them down and consistently on the treadmill for the capitalist masters. We tell them they've been turned into a robot. Then we close the deal and tell them that we are their only hope and it might involve a lot of work with our specialists at considerable cost.

The "why" we do what we do is mostly governed by circumstance. And in modern times (the past 5000 or so years), circumstance is almost completely governed by money and politics. The meritocratic ideal is what keeps our minds enslaved.

When you have enough security that you have no worries for the medium term, you gain the luxury of time and brain energy to contemplate these things rather than having to focus your thoughts on such base things as eating, shelter, health, and maintaining your position.

The majority of us focus on our jobs, buy gadgets and take vacations because we don't have the luxuries of time and peace of mind (since our focus is by necessity on the near term), but we'd like to have them. And even a short-term feeling of luxury is better than none.
