I remember a recent study that claims skin exposure to the sun is necessary/needed to burn fat. I'll try to find it and update this comment.

Edit: this seems to be the study

The gist of it is that sunlight shrinks fat cells, but I might be oversimplifying it

Sorry, no auto is an "investment" and particularly not those of Euro design. After a few years on the road, these start to lose their value almost as fast as crypto due to the exorbitant maintenance costs.

What looks like a good deal on a late model "luxury" car becomes anything but once the naive new owner discovers it is due for over $10k of scheduled dealer maintenance.

The rich who buy these write them off as disposable status symbols --- not to be confused with reliable daily transportation.
But all this missed the point. I like that there are artists making these things. If they go on to be copied X times so that it can provide a living wage to the original artists and designers, then in my opinion it's money well spent, even if some of it goes to the (also talented) machinists and assemblers.

I also think it's good that it's accessible to 150 people who maybe appreciate the artistry that went into it, as opposed to 1 super rich guy who maybe doesn't.

All I'm saying is charity is really important, arguably more so than art, but when they're created with skill and artistry; appreciated and not just consumed conspicuously as wealth/status objects, such things have value too.

Well, it's hardly the fault of rustup that your distro packager only packages rustc and none of the surrounding tooling. It's all MIT, nothing is stopping them, or you, from doing it yourself
> Bootloader attacks were extremely rare to nonexistent even before "secure boot".

Playing devil's advocate: boot sector viruses were common back then. Secure Boot completely avoids both them and their UEFI equivalent, which is probably why we don't see them anymore.
They would be less likely to launch them. Nukes are expensive, so what's the point of launching them if they'll be reliably shot down by the enemy?
> Sure the water in that creek might be falling hundreds of meters, or even kilometers, but without a dam the height differential at your generator is only going to he a few metres at best. Enough to power the lighting, fridge, and washing machine in the houses that the creeks happen to run by, but not much else.

Could be, but that's a bunch of stuff you don't have to power with the existing system. Given how many creeks there are, that seems like it could really add up.

> With the advent of long lasting perovskites and (hopefully) some less polluting battery technologies you're not even better off cost-wise.

That's fair. I've learned in my life that I don't have a good intuition for what the costs of large infrastructure projects are.
The region that's now called "Iran" was called Persia by the West for at least 2000 years, until the Shah of Iran requested the world to refer to the country as "Iran", which is the term used by the Iranians.

Fun fact: "Iran" means "the land of the Aryans".
I don't see any similarity. CH/ch is the one and only abbreviation used about everywhere. Which other one would be used by whom? The letters might not be obvious to any speaker of a living language. But that's intentionally I understood. They have several national and egen more local languages, so they chose an abbreviation from Latin.

GR/gr is ISO for Greece, but EU uses EL/el the previous commenter wrote. The latter seems to come from Greek language, although then spelled using the Latin alphabet

How are those cases similar, except for it's not obvious to the average English speaker where some letters came from?
It's the market self regulating itself /s
You've mentioned a bunch of stuff, but even then the numbers don't add up double and triple buffering are adding just another few buffers per screen. Multiple buffers for every window still doesn't add up to the memory use levels some of these desktop environments use. 50 maximized windows with multiple buffers still ends under a gig.

Mipmapping on dynamic content is just daft. If you can generate mipmaps as they change without slowing things down then you can generate them on demand when they are needed.
> Unfortunately, ETS match specifications are quite wonky

Matchspecs are gnarly! Very annoying to wrap your head around, and it's closer to being an AST than anything.

It is a silly idea 100%. However, I think BMW knows its customer here. I like to chat up the repair people sometimes. The one conversations that stuck with me for years after bringing in my older BMW. "oh wow have not seen one of these in awhile" (it was 8 years old at that point). "huh, what do you mean?" "oh most of what we deal with in here is lease". A lease is pretty much subscribing to a car service with terrible financial terms.

There are plenty of people out there that make decent money but are bad at managing it.
Apparently one of the side-effects of menopause can be weight gain. I was thinking of that with my original comment, that if less estrogen stopped the blocking of increased ghrelin promotion and caused an increase in appetite, it could explain (some part) of the effect.
It was already vastly more complex to start programming in Windows 95 era than in Commodore 64 era..

It's not really become that much easier since '95, the sheer amount of documentation and resources online is detrimental to the process..

After all, if all you have is one book and one compiler, you'll at least get to the point where you start to program..

Autumn Equinox are a three-piece of hurdy-gurdy (the "wheel fiddle"), nyckelharpa (the Swedish "keyed fiddle"), and upright bass. We play tunes from and inspired by Celtic and Eastern European traditions, and the hypnotic drone of the hurdy-gurdy is a common thread. We often play tunes by other hurdy-gurdy composers like Andrey Vinogradov and Nigel Eaton as well.

The key word in the GP being "emulator" so for PC games that would be DosBox or Wine (to some extend), not expecting everything to just work in current Windows versions. Even for multi-core issues the "fix" should be as simple has pretending you only have one or a small number of cores.

> As it should be for a game that is still sold on Steam, but the publisher/dev does not bother.

Yes, selling sofware that does not work on current systems is something that Steam needs to crack down on although I fear that the result for many titles would just be that they are no longer sold at all. In a better world, copyright would either not exist, be much shorter so that such compatibility issues are not a big problem and/or would be forfeit when not continuing to sell the software in a functioning state.

> Personally I just avoid games like that and stick with indie titles for new games.

That is a sensible strategy for you as an individual and probably the extend of what you can enact on your own. But we as a society should not just accept that more and more of a shared culture is controlled by corporations and lost when they don't deem it profitable to keep it available anymore. Copyright is a deal between creators and everyone, which is supposed to encourage more creation so that more things will be available to us all. If that deal is being abused or shown to not be a net positive for society then we CAN alter it.
Yeah that would have convinced me too.

Why should I go out of my way to humor babies throwing a tantrum online? It just shows weakness of character. Just say no and move on.
Not antennas, lasers and lenses. For intersatellite links optical is much better, in particular if something is far away like the JWT. Note that NASA is planning to have significant optical links as part of DSN.
Your quote is me quoting grandparent.

I see no mention of a harddrive for the $449 system? And also, it's not really $449: "Must be purchased with MS DOS & G.W. BASIC Software for an additional $79.95". And that is excluding the monitor, which you can't avoid, whereas the C64 can be used with a TV. And a monochrome TTL monitor card (heavy phosphor to reduce flicker, at the cost of lag), so no colour. And of course no proper sound.

To me, had I been forced to buy a computer based on page 38 alone, then unless I had specific software needs (e.g. Word Perfect or similar), I'd have opted for the Complete Commodore 64C System for $395.95, even though I'd have preferred to buy one without the monitor and used a colour TV instead (but the price in question is competitive w/packages without a monitor, so I'm guessing they were clearing out old stock given it's a tiny monochrome monitor).

Had PC's stayed like that, the C64 would have kept doing just fine in the low end of the home market. Of course PC's didn't stay like that for very long at all.
Verse doesn't sound like it has to be a scripting language though, it sounds more like it's a high level simulation oriented language. Scripting languages nowadays have all the same constructs as typed languages, they just lack types. I would expect Verse to be a whole different kind of language, rather than just C++ without types.
Another version: no I am not.

I'm impressed with how many people really do not understand the meaning of these terms. The idea that the US is culturally divided makes a lot more sense to me now, reading all of these responses.
As I said, they were working 4 and 8 core CPUs that had a working core disabled and then solder at a cheaper price as 3 or 6 core CPUs.

The reason AMD did this was because they had the genius idea of selling off some faulty CPUs at a cheaper price but with the faulty core disabled. However those cheaper CPUs sold so well that AMD ended up having to disable working cores on non-faulty units to meet demand.

Since you could actually unlock those cores, lots more people started to buy 3 and 6 core CPUs in the hope that “CPU roulette” might pay off and they’d end up with a stable 4 or 8 core computer for the cost of a 3 or 6 core one.
Hurdles like these are why "competent enough to install an OS" is considered a bar in the first place. I agree that it is good when OEMs offer Linux preinstalled, but that doesn't absolve Microsoft from adding obstacles in cases where OEMs do not.

Reading the user manual is a form of research that must be done. When software doesn't allow an action, and doesn't immediately explain what can be done to override the restriction, that's a form of additional research.
Energy: The Area Under the Curve
I have two thoughts on this, though I think the distinction between legacy and purpose is ultimately pretty thing.

1) Why does your existence need a "point"? Is the need to define such a thing coming from something innate, or is it a reaction to the world and expectations around you?

2) Define your own purpose, that's all anyone has ever done. There is nothing inherent. You almost certainly can't go wrong by giving your time to others, but even less "high-minded" pursuits - such as just consuming, appreciating culture - are valid paths. I think people fall into the trap of believing the only valid purpose is one that leaves a mark. It's a miracle any of exist, it's a valid purpose to just experience that miracle (hopefully in a way that doesn't preclude, or perhaps even enables, others to do the same).

But I'm not particularly informed, just relaying my own journey with this question.
Fair enough - it might not be true currently, I believe it was 5 years ago.

The NYPD offers a decent package with respect to pay and benefits and you can retire after 20 years in.
I'm not a Tesla owner or fan, but this article doesn't quite say that. It reports on the JD Power and Associates dependability ranking, which is based on surveys of owner complaints about anything with their cars; Tesla ranks higher than average in number of complaints.

The only supporting quote about Tesla in the article: "Tesla owners reported more problems with their exterior and interior than with other systems like propulsion, battery or infotainment and navigation. However, some did complain about troubles with Tesla’s in-vehicle voice recognition." IMO this supports the sloppy assembly claim, but not the incompetent engineering claim. It jives with what I've heard about Tesla cars, that the fit and finish is not what you'd expect for this class of car.
YouTuber Scott Manley has a great video on artificial gravity in space, including concepts that resemble the article's proposal:

Dumb question. We already have a social network called the internet. What exactly are we trying to add on top here and why does it need a blockchain?

If it's the ability to publish and subscribe to content, why not just do some fancy version of RSS?
The "hammer" were centralized systems, and now we have an alternative with Filecoin, Arweave, and the likes.
Yes, something like 3:1 (by weight) at a minimum, for me personally. That would extend the time-to-hypo significantly for me, from 0.5h to 1-1.5h.
> I agree but I think you’ll find that working usually contributes economic value.

_Some_ people have to be "not working" in order to make use of all the other areas of the economy - shops, transport, leisure centres, clubs, nightlife, the arts, self-care (beauty, massage, counselling etc). That's a fairly large slice of the economic activity in many countries.
JWST is not serviceable. If the ssd dies, then it's dead. There's no replacing it.
the gynormous size and sensitivity of ground antennas dwarfs those other factors. Otherwise, don't you think that an agency known for sending things to space would have considered sending things to space?

However, when using laser comms, sometimes a delay does make sense.
I want a browser RTS:

- Simple. Few units. The reason starcraft 2 has so many units is that every expansion pack had to include new ones. Does anyone think go or risk need more units?

- Fast. Maybe a few minutes per game.
Looking at the video this guy paid $30k for (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7ugkT2N9E), it got 40,000 views. Assuming these numbers are completely legit - hard when you are literally hiring a scammer -, the person pumping the shitcoin paid almost 1 USD per viewer. I wonder what the ROI for this was.
> a lot of countries have something like "republic of" in their names.

Well, that depends. The name for China the administrative region is 中华人民共和国, but I wouldn't really want to call that the name of the country. That's 中国, and if a regime change occurred, the name of the country would still be 中国, even if the name of the government were no longer 中华人民共和国.

I want a new US law that will incriminate managers of public companies when they publicly lie about upcoming layoffs. The typical “there is no plan for layoffs at this time”.

This is lying to the investors about the status of the company, lying to the employees who keep on with their lives while they should be looking for new options.

This is pure fraud.

You would be naïve to think that, especially were you to write that on your résumé. That English has no diacritics is a façade built up to escape the fact that our keyboards make no provision for them.

(A little bit forced, but those are all English words I learned as properly having those appropriate diacritics, when I first learned those words back in grade school.)

I had the same problem as you when trying to find a scooter. I was looking aimlessly until I found a website that literally showed every feature of every scooter and had them side by side.

Obviously, scooters being pricey and a more recent product...made the existence of the blog in the format that has, much likelier . The table of scooters was quite impressive aa the reviews of each one with videos etc were effectively professional.

But I suspect there are similar projects out there for digital products. The issue is finding them and also, whether they are up to date.
Spotify was amazing back in the day. I could start to listen to my music faster by using Spotify than by using Winamp (which used local files, albeit using an old hdd). Also at that time Spotify was using p2p which made it even more impressive. Those where the days.

I suspect you might enjoy reading the rest of the article. It goes into some depth on what Buddhism was, is and how it has been adapted in the West to mostly focus on meditation and why. Rather than a critique of "Western Buddhism" it is an exploration of it in a wider context. The term appropriation might have been off-putting due to its current cultural load, but in this context it is not wrong.

For others that are curious about meditation and Buddhism, I would suggest reading the article and making up your own mind, rather than the comments here.
And no matter which direction it spins, it depends on which direction you look. if you are looking "upwards" it falls "backwards", "downwards" = "forwards" and so on.

More specifically: rolling codes are used to prevent replay attack while allowing the remote fob to be only a transmitter, not a receiver, which saves on costs.

If there was bi-directional communication there are obviously better ways to secure the fob/car (like regular challenge/response).

Yeah, but how much of the value that this is based on is artificially inflated, either by outright bullshit such as HFT and other forms of "wealth" that are solely created out of numbers or to account for indirect bullshit such as absurd healthcare and rent costs that drive up wages and, indirectly, product prices?

Well every company is buying ad space for "my product vs competitor product" so the first 4 results are garbage. Then there's probably some images or product placement, so you scroll about 923,482 pixels down the page and ta-da you find someone who actually has used the products and reviewed them.
