I like your point about signalling. It's also true that the vast majority of people are not fussy about coffee and can drink anything. If you stay on the internet long enough it's easy to feel like you're the weird one for not investing in an expensive grinder or coffee machine or caring about the type of beans you use, while those people are actually the very small majority, they just broadcast it loudly.
I don't recall ever seeing something like this so I wanted to know what they look like. Here's a short video that shows a guy walking around looking for them. He also talks briefly about some uses he has for them.

I'm aware that Brave is a for-profit company, this must not necessarily mean that they'll do evil things. And if they would and Mozilla is no longer around, this could also be because Google stopped funding them.
Glass bottles have 8 Cent deposit in Germany and plastic bottles/tin cans have 25 Cent. I rarely ever not bring a plastic bottle or can back, but I do let glass bottles stand around near garbage cans for the bottle collectors.

I see the same behavior among many others. It's just anecdotal, but that 3x seems to make a huge difference.

You'll see a few familiar faces. Stephen Fry, Miranda Richardson, and Hugh Laurie were regulars.
In fact we have almost no idea what the human population was, in most areas of the world. And, none at all in the millions of square miles of the Sunda region, now under water from Java to Viet Nam, and connected to more land where the entirety of the South China Sea and Yellow Sea now are.

For many decades anthropologists and archaeologists earnestly insisted the Americas were barely populated, pre-Columbus. Now we have found major earthworks projects in both North and South America that required societies in, at minimum, tens of millions to have built and maintained.

We know appallingly little about the recent history of our species beyond ~6000 ya, with only tiny, isolated digs at older sites.

A major earthwork in Java, Gunung Padang (previously assumed to be a natural feature because of it size), dated to 22 kya has had excavations halted since 2014.
Firefox sync works well. I have an Android so can't comment on the iphone but Firefox works well on my MacBook.
A damaged battery's trapped energy is very explosive. A decent steel ammo box will contain the blast. It seems likely that a discarded battery found on the street might have been crushed or punctured by a vehicle wheel or similar

One of the problems I often have is that people are not writing books for the languages I like to write in anymore. Often a book from 2012 or 2014 is the best I can get. So bear in mind, unless you have something better coming in on the same topic, and especially if it's still circulating, leave it be!

What are you ordering at Starbucks? I’ve found, if they aren’t too busy, you can ask the barista about the beans they currently have and order a pour over or French press that’s pretty good.
Perhaps you already know, but initial vaccine trials are not performed against menstruation age (aka likely to become pregnant) women. It is considered medically unethical to do so. That is an obvious double edged sword:

1. It prevents birth defects from occurring with trial participants, because this product has not yet been fully studied and approved.

2. It reduces the initial knowledge of any female-specific issues with the product, and particularly limits knowledge around pregnancy issues.

I feel like this is an overblown reaction to a single person getting something wrong in the internet? It's not really concerning that not everyone knows everything with a 100% degree of certainty.
Whatever happened to cutting with a tuned laser?

I heard about it a decade ago. A laser tuned to the resonant frequency of skin. The protein or whatever.

Low power, with no burning, no heat damage. Melted right through, cleanly. Unravelled those little molecules. A wonderful cutting device.

And maybe you could match a laser to any material. Wood? Glass? A very clean cut. Maybe even safer.
I love the Moka Pot. I have an aeropress but there is something delightful about just leaving the Moka Pot on the stove and hearing it bubble and deliver fresh coffee. They look cool, it's less effort, and there are fewer variables to worry about.
Simply put, there are many people who are neither "beginners" nor "advanced". There is a section of the book titled Audience which reads

> Bayes Rules! brings the power of Bayes to advanced undergraduate students and comparably trained practitioners. Accordingly, the book is neither written at the graduate level nor is it meant to be a first introduction to the field of statistics.
I guess the question is do these things provide value to you? And what percent of your income is it? I’m guessing the answer is yes and small.
I did the "walking 1:1 meetings" at a former job. Hated it. Useless for any topic where you might want to take or refer to notes, or other reference material, which IMO is basically a given for any meeting worth having.
They earn money from the recycling and material recovery.
What was the GDP/capita of the early colonies relative to their source populations? An order of magnitude wouldn’t surprise me given the initial and ongoing selection pressure.
Here again a blatant lack of clarity around the issue. Who are dying and at what rate? What are their comorbidities? What is the vax status of those that are dying, presumably many have taken the vaccine anyways yes?

But you do you, is the point. I'm perfectly fine with my choice of not taking it: I'm not overweight, I lift weights and exercise regularly, have low bodyfat percent, I get plenty of sunlight for Vitamin D and immune support. I do not need the vaccine.

This mentality of extreme safetyism applied indiscriminately even now is insane. Are you going to take covid boosters for the rest of your life? The disease is going to be continually weakened and become just another coronavirus. The rest of us will move on with our lives. Quite simply, I'm not worried about Covid at all. Can you say the same about the long term prospects of endless boosters on your body? I sure couldn't.

Tell me now how 100% confident you are there are no side effects because the propaganda experts and drug companies told you so, so we can come back to it in 6 months when more side effects start being discovered and posted here on HN...

>Probably, in Hitler's own mind, the Russo-German Pact represents no more than an alteration of time-table. The plan laid down in Mein Kampf was to smash Russia first, with the implied intention of smashing England afterwards. Now, as it has turned out, England has got to be dealt with first, because Russia was the more easily bribed of the two. But Russia's turn will come when England is out of the picture—that, no doubt, is how Hitler sees it.

Unsurprisingly, Orwell here was wonderfully prescient, even as many contemporaries failed to see that this exact plan was the case.
You can use wasm disassembler (like https://github.com/JoseFMP/wasm-disassembler) as a starting point to understand what’s happening. It would be much harder if it was obfuscated on top of that.
The Fed want inflation to diminish (in real terms) the mountains of debt the US government and consumers incurred in the past 20 years. At the expense of the poorest people and savers (because wage inflation is much lower than the goods/services inflation, not to mention bank savings interest rates, which are laughable).

Make no mistake, the Fed are not idiots, they have been trying to introduce inflation for a long time, but initially they succeeded in asset inflation only. With the help of Covid and the war, they got their wish.

But wage inflation needs to match the goods/services inflation, because without it, borrowers will be even less able to pay their debts.

In order to really stamp out inflation, the Fed would need to raise the interest rate to 10%, essentially forcing the US to declare bankruptcy.

The Fed is hoping to introduce a mild recession, which, they hope, would reduce all kinds of inflation, without them having to raise the rates above 3.5% or so.

I want to know how much you earn yearly.

I visited Italy - and became a fan. Came back and bought a moka pot. Has been my only coffee making gadget (well, grinder too) now for 5 years. It makes me two cups in the morning. I add 1/3 part Chobani oat milk. Such a wonderful simple pleasure. The routine of grinding the beans and filling the water then coffee then screwing it together and then waiting for the gurgling sound that means its done - all part of that pleasure. Is good like slow sex.
Gotcha! Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Interestingly I also met some cute girls and a friendly guy in a train recently and they tried to exchange Instagram handles with me. I just asked for WhatsApp and we created a little group (but then again, Germany).

I guess a SO being there would actually make me use it. I did have a Twitch account for a while because of someone I dated....... (Curiously I haven't admitted this even to my therapist, lol). On the other hand, it's Facebook so I'd probably troll them and ask for printouts of the posts.

About the boomer thing, interestingly I never really had close family using it. But everyone under 25 I know denies having it like it's some kinda plague. The ones over 25 claim they forgot their password.
I started reading it, saw the first photo and went oh my gaaaaaaaaad wear gloves.

The next paragraph confirms the author came to this conclusion too.
More opinionated solutions such as gofmt/rustfmt/black seem to be popular in part because they remove some of that cognitive load.
I'd word it as "Developing negative carbon emission industry and economy on Earth will almost certainly lead to better ways of doing things on the Mars" as in the two questions aren't different enough to phrase them as a "this one" or "that one". Solving one without solving at least a significant portion of the other doesn't seem possible and I don't see the desire for either shrinking as time goes on.

Good grief. If you enjoy it then by definition it is not bad, it is good, even if it didn't cost you an arm and a leg and you got it at the grocery store or the diner. The coffee snobs can just go fuck themselves.

I had two life experiences that beat the culinary snobbery out of me. Many years ago I was a tea-totaller but I decided I wanted to develop a taste for wine (because social pressure) so I started a wine tasting group. It consisted of six couples. We met once a month and rotated hosting duties. About a year in, someone did a blind tasting of cabernets which included a $3 bottle of Barefoot Cab at the low end and a $50 bottle of Silver Oak at the top. (These prices will give you some idea how long ago this was.) Every single one of us rated the Barefoot first or second, and the Silver Oak dead last.

Fast forward a few years and I was looking for a gift to give me parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. They are really in to coffee so I decided to buy them an espresso machine. You can spend a truly ridiculous amount of money on one of those do I decided to do some taste testing to try to find the point of diminishing returns. We ha a $1500 machine at our office and so I decided to use that as a baseline. I enlisted the help of some local coffee snobs for guidance and they instructed me where to get the "proper" beans, which I dutifully sought out. After several hours and many, many attempts, no one was able to produce a cup that any of us considered even remotely drinkable. I ended up getting my parents a Keurig.

On the other hand, whenever I'm in Italy, the coffee there is consistently superior to anything I get anywhere else in the world. I have no idea how they do it, but the Italians obviously know something that the rest of us don't.

Another practice I've found that helps me keep my subscription spending in line is torrenting all software and media for free

There was a time that the only practical way to see media was to torrent/IRC/newsgroup it. But the ridiculously low cost of streaming services and their ease of use just makes it not worth it to me.

I get Disney+ for free from my home Internet provider and I get Netflix for free from my cellular provider. I got Hulu during the Black Friday special for $1 per month for a year.

That's almost twice cheaper than California studio rent. No wonder why people are leaving the big cities. Thank you, I was considering moving out of California and I might if the mortgages are still like that in other states.
I do something similar and log into most meetings from multiple devices for meeting flexibility (and stability).

1) Laptop undocked / docked to monitors. For watching, screen share and often webcam. Sometimes take screenshots and notes if needed.

2) I tried an iPad Mini 5 after a recommendation and don't know how I lived without one for calls.

- It has become my primary meeting communication device.

- It provides most stable Zoom/Teams experience I've ever had - and the load doesn't impact my work machine.

- This device is all about maximising weight and size/volume. Small enough to carry, throw it in a sling for a walk and be able to pull it out if needed. great to carry a meeting or a call with me and be more useful than a phone.. Going for a walk, stretching out your legs, visiting the kitchen, and yes, sometimes even transferring the call to your car for audio while driving is smooth and generally seamless.

- I more easily see things on the meeting, interact, run a whiteboard, and contribute at a moment's notice if needed. Don't have to explain that I'm dialling by phone in or why. Being able to kick over to a whiteboard to doodle is handy compared to a powerpoint to get ideas across anyways.

- In Person - I almost always take the mini to meetings. The mini is not as distracting as a laptop keyboard or typing on a phone. Easy to bring up something to share and hand it over too.

- Great battery life, everything stays fast and doesn't need rebooting.

- I have muted nearly every notification on the iPad and it makes it even better to only work for me and not fight for my attention.

- Bluetooth works great, and the speaker/microphones are very decent.

Bluetooth Headphones:

- One tricky part of bluetooth headsets is noise cancelling might only be for what you hear, but te other party doesn't get noise cancelling from your mic and hear all your background.

- Currently I mostly use two pairs of Jabra 85t's that I alternate and charge since they only last 5h each. Only caveat of these is you can't use both the right earbud independently and not the left. Very decent noise cancelling for outdoors and indoors. I avoided the AirPods or others because I wasn't sure how good their noise cancelling was for the speaker (me) on a call.

- My interest is in that noise cancel on the mic for the other party. I'd love to hear what's working for you as there seem to be too many to keep up with. Heard good thigns about the Jabra 75e as well primarily for meetings and voice.
I really wish this idea of "bad" vs "good" when it comes to taste and flavor profiles would die. Each different coffee brewing process has an end-product that is different. If you like it, and can taste the difference, knock yourself out investing in consistent grinders and espresso machines that are able to maintain the same brew temperature through a pour. Don't - go for your Maxwell or instant coffee or whatever.

I'm not a snob, but instant coffee is fairly rough when drunk black, it's best with milk as you say. Personally I have a moka pot / aeropress and a cheap manual grinder. The total cost is about $50 and it takes up no space at all. I don't have the desire to invest more effort than that, but for the people who do it's obviously a good value proposition for them.
the worst coffee ive ever had in my entire life was from a starbucks drive thru. before i took a sip, the cup just smelled like a very specific mixture of xylene and sewage. i was extremely curious if it tasted as bad as it smelled and it did. 1 sip and poured it out the window; it was so eerily close to tasting like paint thinner that it made me wonder if thats what it actually was.

it's kind of interesting how BAD coffee can be. out of curiosity i googled to see if there has ever been a contest to see who can make the worst coffee and it turns out that's a thing. https://sprudge.com/the-horrible-true-story-of-the-worlds-wo...

Humans had terrible working conditions at the turn of the 20th century. Child labor, no weekends, 10-hour workdays.

If you think that was bad for humans, imagine what the horses dealt with.
So don't watch it.

I'm not a big fan of comedy in general, but I am an adult human who is capable of hitting the channel change button if it comes on, or leaving a conversation about it.

If my memory of carrying around a book on the subject during my family’s visit to Washington, DC during the Bicentennial is accurate, I had learnt some basics of perspective drawing at the age of five.
This lack of foresight is not something specific to this vaccine. It is the male bias ingrained in most western medicine. Due to fear of how experimental medicines will impact fertility and pregnancy, males are usually overrepresented in clinical trials which makes female specific side effects much harder to detect.
The funny thing is we are facing a deep crisis that will require sacrifice and huge effort, but 50% of the country claims it's a hoax and the other 50% accept the problem but are whistling past the graveyard. I speak, of course, about climate change.

We have had a century of millions of people worldwide working ferociously and spending tens of billions of dollars every year to extract coal and oil for profit. To fix this problem will require a similar, sustained investment in labor and capital to halt that process and even capture and sequester some amount of what we are releasing at this very moment.

That seems like a struggle and self-sacrifice that is sufficient to unify not only nations but the world. Yet apparently it is not. I admit it lacks the adventure aspect.
Mozilla wants full control over the official Rust binaries, which I guess is reasonable. Google also wants full control over Chrome binaries, which I guess is reasonable, too.

I think Debian should just move Rust over into "non-free" and call it a day. Most people are OK with installing non-free software. And those that aren't are probably skilled enough to compile their own Rust binaries.

As for having Rust in the kernel, I believe that either needs a special permit from Mozilla or there shouldn't be Rust in the kernel. It would feel very icky to open the door to using non-free products in the kernel, because that will surely invite me-toos.
> There's some project based on Javascript (I think) with in-browser previews for the patterns, but it's proprietary and only sold as pre-flashed modules. I forgot the name, but I think it has been posted here.

That would be the PixelBlaze from https://electromage.com/

... and it's super-duper-amazing for actually finishing LED projects. While the code on the ESP32 is proprietary, everything else is very open and the community is awesome.

If your name is Sisyphus or you just want to hack on LED electronics and maybe make some lights blink, anything else is fine.
This isn't how Photoshop works anymore sadly. Now it's all under "Creative Cloud" subscription so you pay monthly/yearly, and if you stop paying you lose access. For a while it was common for users to keep the last "purchased" version (called CS6) but it's been so long I see this less and less.

I fully agree tho when you stop subscribing you should be able to keep the previous version. It's a tool, not entertainment like Netflix/Spotify.

Except I never said that.

You seem to be very confused about what I wrote and frankly seem to have an axe to grind. I suggest you read it again.

Mine was a point about articles advocating for FP, not about FP itself.

> So you have some kind of opinion about FP.

No, I don't, which is why I was reluctant to being baited into this discussion in the first place. Clearly I should've followed my instincts.

I have an opinion about the author's interpretation of the Why FP Matters essay, and I have an opinion about the structure and delivery of their message. I have an opinion about articles advocating for FP. I don't have a strong opinion about FP itself.

That's the difference between critiquing the content of an argument vs the structure of an argument.

Yes that's a subtle distinction.

> And even though you had a handy reference in “Why FP Matters” that you referenced yourself.

Did you actually read the article? Because I did.

The article cited that essay, not me. My criticism is in the author's interpretation of that essay.

> FP is certainly not a Rorschach test compared to your obfuscated and indirect style of writing on this specific topic.

And now it's getting personal. This will be my last response in this conversation. Carry on arguing without me if you like.
