I'm aware of it, and it is a step in the right direction I suppose. But what's the point of a package manager, if you need another one (windows updates) to install/update other software, and yet another method (each app auto-updating itself) just to update all of the software on your system?

The whole point of a package manager is having one place to do all the updates/installations.

But this multi-billion $ company can't use it's clout and complete control over their OS to enforce one good way of installing/updating software.

I live in a Manhattan-sized 1br with my wife at the moment and one of her friends gave us _four_ martini glasses. They’re a major pain to store anywhere and what’s worse we don’t drink!

I had a conversation with my wife about them that literally started with her saying “Yes, but it’s the thought that counts” and I had to cause marital strife by pointing out the severe lack of thought involved in giving us something we have to store in our tiny place and will never use.

Does the U.S. justice system in your estimation have any political prisoners? If so, could you provide a name of a current prisoner?

In my view the answer is clearly yes. One kind is a prisoner of conscience. Prisoners of conscience are not claiming innocence, for example, rather usually the status is a commentary on the unjustness of laws or of punishment. He probably would never be considered as such by Amnesty International because of the extremely questionable murder for hire charges. Just a hint of a such a thing can sink an Amnesty endorsement of a prisoner.

There are other kinds of political prisoners. One can be a common criminal and be fairly and correctly considered a political prisoner due to political circumstances. The war on drugs is a political circumstance which results in disproportionate sentences. Consider that nearly all terrorism and espionage charges generally fall into the classic categories of relative or absolute political crimes. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_prisoner and note:
“A political prisoner is someone imprisoned for their political activity. The political offense is not always the official reason for the prisoner's detention.”

In his case the majority of his charges are drug or conspiracy charges which are a major political issue for most of the western world at this time and at the time of his incarceration. Furthermore his incredible habit of journaling clearly shows his political views as they extensively detail the war on drugs, and his attempts to allow people to have access to a market for drugs that is safer than the street. American drug laws as seen by most of the rest of the world are insanely harsh in their punishment.

Consider The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe definition c, d, and e from the Wikipedia link. Do you dispute the judge sentenced him harshly to send a message to others? Do you believe his trial wasn’t marred by unbelievable corruption where several involved officers were arrested and jailed for their conduct?

He may very well be a scumbag, my claims aren’t a defense of him personally. Rather please try to read them as a good faith condemnation of the American judicial and American penal system. End the war on drugs, and end the insanely bad conditions for all prisoners. No one should have to suffer what he is suffering in prison, nor a tainted process which led him to prison. No one deserves double life sentences only to be beaten and (almost certainly, if rumors are to be believed) raped in prison for refusing to join a prison gang as a matter of literal personal political beliefs.

But you can tell me he’s not a political prisoner and that he gets what he deserves. That mostly tells me about you, and not about him.
What's different in Germany (and most other European countries) is that there are legal requirements to give Y weeks of notice if someone has worked in the company for X years. Also, for layoffs ("betriebsbedingte Kündigung") there are certain rules that have to be followed, i.e. people who were hired later are generally the first on the chopping block, plus other criteria. What's not different is that most of the time you will be shown the door as quickly as possible. You get your notice time, and you get paid until your actual termination date, but you spend that time at home ("freigestellt").
You will have to take up your objections with the endocrinologists. Good luck, though, 'cause endocrinologists are the smartest of all medical doctors. Have to be, to do it at all.
It’s such a bunk argument to suggest that because there are other countries physically inbeween the refugee’s homeland and Britain that they are economic migrants by the time they get here.

If they all settled at the point closest to their homeland that wasn’t “at war” I’m pretty sure there would soon be conflict there.

Britain is a rich, developed nation that is quite easily able to support our “fair share” of refugees along with the rest of Europe.

Your mistake was to take the word "fun" literally.

What he meant was some "possibly enjoyable" state which was different from the "bored comfortable tedium" into which he had settled in.

We all have had similar experiences. When you have too much of the same routine however comfortable, your mind craves some "new" stimulus which will break the tedium.

Exactly. Blockbuster had all the movies the average person would be able to know about. Any movie that was advertised and known by the general public could be picked up at blockbuster and watched. It's not like that now. Now I have to Google which streaming service can I stream this or that on and then go to that service. It's as if there was a paramount movie store on one side of town, a Disney one on the other, MGM on the other. It's like car dealerships now, it used to be like grocery stores.

> employers are not expected to give advanced notice when firing people

It's almost universal that layoffs include (at minimum) a few weeks of full pay. Sometimes months.

It's effectively the same as getting advanced notice, you just aren't expected to do any work after you get notice.

I've never used one of them because they cause me panic. But my father has used plenty, and he always advised me _against_ the smaller ones. He says the small ones tend to refuse to cut a lot, so they kick back, and their small weight make the kick more quick and you end having an accident. The big ones on the contrary, tend to bite hard and when they refuse to cut they are so deep in the wood they doesn't kick back but get stuck.

And sure, drinking enough sugar will result in obesity, but so will eating too much carbs or fat.
> How do you do it?

I don't. I find the closest thing that I already own (in this case perhaps an iPhone?) and make sure to use that for a while.

When something about the existing solution annoys me, I move to a product that solves that particular annoyance; At the same time I keep in mind that the search itself can be an effort and I make sure that the search isn't more annoying than the actual annoyance.

In the end it often turns out I can solve 90% of the problem with 10% of effort.

If you've already tried an iPhone, maybe pick a random used mp3 player, try using that for a while and see where this gets you?
It works both ways. Musk frequently exaggerates, makes ridiculous claims, and offers fact-free promises. I don't take him at his word either.
Eating nothing else but potatoes would easily fulfill all the energy needs of your body.

The problem with potatoes and with all similar starchy food, like cereals, bananas, sweet potatoes etc., is that their ratio between energy content and protein content is much too high.

If you eat enough potatoes to also eat enough proteins, you would also gain weight and it would be difficult to do that, because you will be very satiated long before eating enough proteins.

If you eat only enough potatoes to be satiated, you will not get enough proteins and a large part of the weight loss will be from muscular mass, not only from fat reserves.

After one month of potato diet, unless you had been a very muscular person previously it is likely that symptoms of protein deficiency will already be visible, e.g. swellings of the feet due to insufficient albumin in the blood.

A much more effective single-item diet would be to eat some high-protein legume, e.g. lentils with olive oil and iodized salt instead of potatoes with (unspecified) oil and (unspecified) salt, which would provide enough proteins.

Such a diet would be almost complete, except that it does not have enough of some substances required in very small quantities, i.e. sulfur amino-acids, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, choline, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium.

> It's literally the foundation of the growing understanding amongst medical professionals of why low-carb diets and fasting work dramatically on this.

Do you have a good source to support the idea that there is a "growing understanding" that "low-card diets and fasting work"?

I'm fairly well-read on this subject (though a complete layman), but my general understanding of today's scientific consensus is that there is nothing, or almost nothing special about low-card diets or fasting. Most of the people who are purporting that these diets are somehow better (for various meanings of better) are stating heteredox views.

They might still be right! (Though I doubt it.) But I'm specifically pushing back on the narrative that this is a growing consensus.

Enough to spark a historical curiosity, certainly not enough to sate it. The broad strokes storyline is accurate, and most of the main characters (excepting the protagonist) are also generally historically accurate. It also has some interesting allusions to characters like Müller who disappeared at the end of the war and remains the highest ranking Nazi whose fate was never determined. However the storyline and details of such are fiction.

The real beauty of the show is simply in the people and the dialog and discussions. It hits on issues that are timeless in such a concise and elegant way. This [2] is one of my favorite dialogues/scenes from the series. And it's that which makes it such a great series. The pacing is excellent, the story is great, and all of that. But the series just provides such amazing dialogues, even absent all context, over and over.

Interesting theory. But the IPBL doesn’t even have a robots.txt and a different, larger site from a German celebrity I host does have the same directives and is indexed, although incompletely.

My working theory is that Bing’s selection algorithm is biased towards large and already popular sites. In the server logs, I don’t see Bing even attempting to crawl the sites I mentioned, except requesting robots.txt and the root page. Bing appears to be excruciatingly slow to update anything but high traffic sites.

Again, Microsoft Support was unable to explain this behavior even after manual, human review found everything to be in order.

I tried deleting robots.txt entirely and got only Chinese crawlers and SEO bots, but still no Bing crawl. All organic traffic comes from blogs linking directly and Google.

You can say the same thing about alcohol or cigarettes. Obviously, kids can find a way to buy them illegally but it doesn't mean that we should allow that.

No they do not cease to be a refugee when crossing a border, or many. That is simply a dismissive and disingenuous talking point pushed by the outrage media.

Bursting the Bubble: A Case Against Reinforcement Learning for Macro Placement
Is this really true!??
Not an answer to your question but similarly, I've been searching for clothing lately and I have no idea how to search effectively. Example: I wanted to find a shirt I saw. It was a pretty straight forward mens long sleeve shirt with vertical red, white, and black stripes.

Putting that in Google, Google doesn't know what "vertical" means. It doesn't limit the search to "red+white+black" shirts. Of the first 60 hits only 4 actually match the search.

It's no better on etsy. first page of hits, (48 results, 3 matches that actually fit)

ebay has 2 matches of its first page of results and as for how bad it is, the 2nd results is for a woman's shirt. If the search engine had any smarts whatsoever it would prioritize "mens" over "womens" for a search for products with "mens" in the search string.

I know search must be hard but sometimes it feels from the outside that there's a ton of low-hanging fruit to be grabbed.

This is nonetheless a new mechanism of inflation which bypasses the supposed benefits of a fixed supply currency, instead letting inflation float as a hard-to-quantify measure which vaguely resembles the average inflation of the entire coin market, but is actually more like the speculative value of the market cap of each currency (e.g LTC is not really worth $1.5B, that's an abstraction off the price of its latest trades). Moreover this dilution isn't without cost, as it gives a path forward for perpetual splitting of the market into a number of currencies each with a greater chance of losing public trust in a market crash scenario - as each one has a weaker consensus requirement and requires fewer people deciding to no longer hold it before it becomes worthless. All it takes is a temporary lack of confidence - this is why the more widely held a currency is the more stable it is.

Back to tulips: though inventing a new tulip does not inflate existing tulips, any level of public support for that tulip dilutes everyone's confidence in the original tulip, and creates two more unstable tulip currencies vs just the one. This is because everyone has just a bit more doubt on which one they should hold.

"But that's decentralized then. If people lose confidence in one of those tulips - good thing you diversified in both.". Sure, except for losing confidence in one is likely to create a cascading effect of lack of confidence in the others as the public starts to rightfully doubt their magical belief that a useless commodity is valuable. Same panics happen with banks. And a big plethora of smaller currencies means the initial dominos of the panic are that much easier to push over - leading to the possibility of the entire market wiping. Tulips all the way down.

Again, not that this isn't the same process found in conventional finance. There's just additional confidence that there will be (perhaps violent) interventions to stem any such lack of confidence/panic before it becomes critical. And there's been a long history of independent currencies being shut down with the same force due to not wanting to compete.

Sigh. Tantrum isn't a “learnt tactic” (it's the child's inability to control his frustration / other emotion) and it doesn't work to achieve desired outcome which is why they stop when the child is mature enough to have better emotional control (unless you're trying to raise a tyrannical child, in which case giving your child what he wants when he throws a tantrum is a good way to succeed…)
