I believe there is not one "silver bullet"; there are a wide variety of actions that must be taken to make a dent. Some are personal, and some are systemic, and both require personal sacrifice.

Here is an example (this is just a cooked up example, not an actual policy recommendation) where the large scale systemic change will require personal sacrifice.

Say a politician or a party says: we must act now. We need to spend two trillion dollars over the next 10 years on upgrading our electrical grid, both for overall capacity and to allow dynamic load balancing over long distances to make solar and wind power more effective. We are going to invest heavily in the private sector to accelerate battery research into production, adding significant battery storage to aid in the short fluctuations as part of that smart grid. To pay for this, we are going to increase the tax rate on capital gains to 24% and set a floor on the price of gasoline at $4/gallon for the foreseeable future. We will accelerate the closure of coal generators which will, in the short term, increase the price of electricity.

The opposing politician or party says: hooey, you don't need to do anything different than you are doing today. As we all know, plants consume CO2 and what little effect CO2 has on the world, it will be only good for crops. Vote for me and your taxes won't go up. The other guy is lying to you because he hates your freedom to burn whatever you want.

Here is the personal sacrifice part: you will have to vote for the guy who is going to raise the taxes and spend the money to address the issue. You will have less money in your pocket at the end of the month, and the benefits won't be seen for decades. All the while the naysayers will undermining work on the problem and spreading lies.
Perhaps the original ask is better explained as: a request for someone here do the actual deobfuscation.

This was definitely pre-forge but I might not be remembering correctly around the obfuscation
It's called "appeal to authority", and it's a fallacy only in case where the authority is not relevant to the area in question. So, if a Nobel prize winner in literature gives advice on economics or quantum physicists or medicine, then their credentials are irrelevant, and appeal to their authority is a fallacy. If, however, a prominent physicist talks about physics, then it doesn't mean they are necessarily right, but at least the likelihood of them being right is much higher than for a random person from the street. As such, having created successful technical products in the past suggests that it's likely next product may be worth something too. It's not a guarantee, but it's a relevant data point.

Germany can get coal from somewhere else. Germany cannot get gas from somewhere else, at least not in sufficient quantities.

In 2021, gas was used for 17% of the generated electricity [1]. This percentage is artificially high, since CO2 offsets for gas compared to other energy resources made it very attractive.

Adjusting that down, the remaining 10% or so can easily be replaced by other sources, or imported.

OTOH, about 50% of German households are heated with gas. You cannot replace all 200 million of those installations with electric heating (even if we wanted to, electric heating wastes the most energy).

The industry is also highly dependent on natural gas, e.g. to produce glass (including solar panels), or as a raw material, e.g. to produce fertilizer, or other chemicals. That cannot be replaced by electricity. Should those industries not be able to continue working because of a gas shortage, this will have a ripple effect for the whole German economy.

Yet the internet echo chamber mob continues to claim that Germany has an electricity problem, and could just instantly turn off the Russian gas if they'd just switch to nuclear... and you have to tell every single one of the to do some research. The internet has truly become an ugly place.

> then every 20 minutes stand for 8 minutes AND MOVE for 2 minutes.

Ah, I see you don’t have hour long zoom calls.

I attend most zoom calls muted with video off, in part so I can stand and walk around / do some lunges, and in part so I can zone out when the inevitable blowhards get the mike. Honestly this also helps when someone does have an interesting screen share.

But I have been told “video off” is passive aggressive so I don’t know how much longer I can pull this off.
Great coffee can be commonly had, just probably not provided by a single vertically integrated entity. Here in Australia, we have hundreds of independent roasters, each supplying anything from a handful to hundreds of independent cafes each.

It works well - you don’t go to a chain here expecting good coffee, if you’re somewhere you’re not familiar with, you just jump in Google Maps or something to find a decently rated cafe nearby and you should get good coffee.

In terms of home prep, when many cafes are selling great beans all around the place, you can easily always have great coffee. Once my machine is warm it takes something like two or three minutes from bean to cup, including grinding, steaming milk, etc… I’ve only been doing it for 15 years but don’t see myself getting tired of it anytime soon. I enjoy the tactility, the smell, the feel, and of course the end result. It’s a nice break from mentally taxing work!
This sounds like a mental breakdown more than anything to do with coffee or coffee quality / price.

So you're saying that the genocides that Britain enacted were just accidents?
I think you're the one who is ignorant here.
You realize that the British expressly didn't want to help the Jews in the concentration camps (of which they were fully aware) because they were afraid that they would go to Palestine after the war (British Territory), and cause an issue. So they purposefully let them die.
> Java tooling (IntelliJ and Lombok) is incredible

Until a Java IDE can jump from an annotation to all the code that actually processes that annotation in the context of the current project, Java tooling lags substantially behind ctags.

> - Gradle and maven are reliable like npm and cargo, but super verbose and confusing

At one recent-ish job, I wrote some scripts to download gradle dependencies via wget and stuff them into gradle's cache because gradle was incapable of resuming downloads and multibillion dollar companies are incapable of running maven repositories on the same continent as their developers or delivering HTTP responses from maven repositories across oceans. The resulting amalgam of bash, wget, and gradle was still quite slow because it takes forever to run gradle long enough for gradle to tell you what it failed to download.

> - Standard library has some issues and quirks. Like URL#equals sends a network request

What.

> - I just have to say, IntelliJ and Lombok really do fix Java’s verbosity. Both reading and writing. Indeed, tooling is the new syntax. But maybe some disagree.

It may be useful to compare an "idiomatic Spring Boot" implementation of a small collection of related REST endpoints for a moderately complex model to an implementation in any other language and calculate how many times more files and how many times more lines of code you end up with.
ntfs is straight up bad. the way you get high performance io on windows is by inventing your own file system and dumping all the data into the same file because ntfs hasn't figured out how to make your ssd slower (yet).

There are many remote build backends for bazel available - some open source and some proprietary (EngFlow and Google’s RBE). Even without a build farm it will still be a huge performance boost due to caching - something make and co (recommended in sibling thread) can not do along with a bunch of other stuff that bazel does for you.

Yeah, the difference is 10-13 F. IMO it's on the edge of being uncomfortable, and it's not super easy to do (like, how often do you run Cinebench with the computer on your lap), but if it's a concern then yeah, there's a significant difference.

If the letters/words in the quote are correctly kilojoules, seconds, and liters, then it doesn't make sense.

You would want to know how much energy (J) it takes to separate a given volume of gas. The quoted statement talks about power (rate, J/s), not energy. It doesn't make sense. I don't know the experiment in detail, but even I can see that mismatch.

Romantic relationships aren't essential for quality of life. In fact, romantic relationships are biologically designed for "preparing" you to become a mother-father couple for the purpose of child rearing. Sex and romance are ultimately for the good of the species, not the individual.

I turn on the news, and inevitably an ad appears. On one side of a split screen, a hipster-looking guy in an apron with a deep look of stress on his face is agonizingly bungling an attempt to measure coffee beans out into some kind of overly complicated apparatus. On the other side, a serene looking woman is pouring some powder into a mug and adding water. "Here you go honey". She passes him a cup. "Nescafe. What else?"

I'm starting to think some kind of viral marketing campaign run by instant coffee makers is being waged here...

We live in a world where fast food and TV diners are doing their level best to extinguish the homemade meal. Cooking is hard and time consuming. Why not do things the easy way? It would appear that instant coffee manufacturers are now trying to repeat this operation the simple cup of joe.

Here's the thing. Making good coffee isn't time consuming, expensive, or hard. Sure, lots of people do go through "The Quest" stage when learning how to do something that's new to them. You strive for the best cup of coffee that human hands can make and go to increasingly exotic and difficult ends to achieve that end. It's like how, when cooking, you might keep chasing Michelin star worthy fare every night and just burn out.

Embrace the quest for what it's worth. You learn a lot in its punishing tutelage, but there comes a time to settle for what is merely good. The quest begins with rapid advance up an logistic curve of quality vs time and effort, but the perfect result requires infinite effort. Pick a spot before the slope of that curve levels off too much and you can get great results with comparatively little effort.

Recognize that the results axis of this curve are personal and subjective. One person may indeed decide to jump off the curve at the level of instant brew, while another will jump off with an espresso machine in their kitchen. You don't need articles like this to tell you where to jump off. Learn how to make coffee that's good enough for you with just enough time and effort to be worth it, and then be happy with that.

I'm not trying to tell you where to abandon The Quest and jump off the curve. I'm just saying that, for most people, that point will probably be a little bit beyond instant coffee.

Faster. Smaller. Better
It isn't. They operated whichever way worked, whether that was hooking a country on opium (China), or wiping out the population and rounding up the rest into camps on undesirable land(Americas). There's also the Boer war.
So this and the parent post both make sense to some degree. My problem is I don't even know how to identify the people even if they were right in front if me. And even if I did I am not sure how I can get them to "accept" me at more than a grunt (or capability level - 2) capacity.

An example, about 10 years ago a YC company (that would go on to be valued at high double digit billion valuation) was hiring. They were series A at the time. I knew I was more than qualified for that role (I had done that role at that stage of a company in similar domains multiple times). I had no pedigree ofcourse (founders were all MIT so clear they they were doing a breadth first traversal around that network of friends). Naturally never heard back. Sour grapes? Reasonably so.

To this point startup land is a huge crapshoot. Being in the in-network confers a 1000x advantage already and being outside is just tons of things you need to line up to get lucky!

My learning has also been you can try for the jackpot, or work at a big co and outside your work work on building your brand (building, blogging, side projects, marketing etc). Bonus if that brand comes through your work.
Sorry bit I wrote "less lethal", not anything about telling from where the shot is coming, muzzle flash, recoil or anything in your answer full of correct statements (especially "nobody who has the option shoots unsuppressed"!).

Compensating (performance-wise) for velocity loss isn't easy, the "kinetic energy vs. momentum" isn't (AFAIK) settled, as every parameter (including projectile frangibility...) plays a role. My experience is limited, however when it comes to penetrating hard material with a metal-piercing round or to obtain a massive cavity (and shock) on a soft target with an frangible/expansive one, I will pick supersonic rather than subsonic-and-massive because there is too wide of a gap, just as (and for similar reasons) I will prefer a long gun to a handgun. A .300 Blackout (supersonic) develops (E0) ~1800J, while the subsonic version only develops ~700, this seems a "massive" difference to me, exhibiting the difficulty.

As someone on the mathematics side, I had no idea this misperception existed. Why would the Fields Medal be capped to recipients under age 40, otherwise? It is idiotic to think that an award for "greatest mathematical genius" (which is a clumsy way of describing any prize) would just ignore accomplishments over a certain age, it is almost offensive. It has always been an award recognizing emerging talent, and it has always been entirely clear to anyone who paid attention to it.

The Abel prize (https://abelprize.no/) and Wolf prize (https://wolffund.org.il/the-wolf-prize/) exist to recognize general accomplishments in mathematics.

A perfect example is Sir Andrew Wiles, who proved the Taniyama–Shimura and thus resolved Fermat's last theorem, who received Abel and Wolf prize. But he was 40 when he began presenting his proof and was too old to qualify by the time he fixed his initial issues with Iwasawa theory. He was recognized by the Fields committee with a special "IMU silver plaque", instead.

> I don't even know what "correct" pour-over technique is, so I'm basically making bog-standard single-serving drip coffee with store-brand beans, and I couldn't be happier with it.

The correct technique is the technique that consistently makes you the coffee you like.

> Ultimately I think fancy coffee is the same as fancy beer - it's not about the quality of taste of the thing, but rather it's about tribal membership and signaling.

Most people aren't usually looking for novelty in their daily coffee, which is why they are often loyal to a particular coffee shop or method of preparation. This is true whether its Folgers instant coffee or shade grown Ethiopian.

If one is a daily beer drinker, then sure, the very experimental and unique flavored ones can be too much. But for me, beer isn't a daily beverage. It's a weekend or special occasion thing, like a cocktail, and for that, I'd rather have a more unique flavor.

Long ago MyIE2 had the most sophisticated mouse gestures. For example: One could select some text, drag it and it would search. (I had search configured to open non advertisement results in background tabs) If the text contained any links it in stead opened each of them in tabs to the right. So you selected the entire menu of the blog and tossed it to the right. There were gestures to move to the tab on the left or right but also to close the current tab AND move to the left or right. This was important to dig though an enormous pile of preloaded tabs you still had to look at. Things went so fast I got tired after surfing for a few hours.

Makes me think of potentially using sound as a way for humans to conceptualize higher dimensional spaces. I feel very bound to 3 dimensional visualizations frequently and often wish that conceptualizing that next step to even 4 dimensional spaces would be more 'obvious'. E.g. space time diagrams (even though I can't say that I'm good at evaluating movement in even one dimension of space and one dimension of time on a 2-d plot, I can't even comprehend trying to 'visualize' movement through three dimensions of space and one of time.) For some reason feels more possible in audio space.

LGB is literally not about sex or even sex presentation. Trying to use Title IX to protect sexual orientation is invalid legal creep. There are other reasons not to discriminate based on sexual orientation. (And, legally, it's prohibited by state laws; some states have them, while others don't.)

Title IX protects against discrimination based on sex, which to me reads as innate characteristics or needs. That doesn't read to me like you can sex-swap, either via pretending, hormones, and/or through surgeries that only superficially change primary sex characteristics... and then create all sorts of drama, and claim discrimination if people around you want to get on with whatever academics or sports or business without catering to your special T/Q physiological or linguistic needs or preferences.

A few years ago, not far from where I live, a pregnant woman was given a water bottle by her ex boyfriend. The water tasted bitter, so she spit it out. She took it to the police. Her ex-boyfriend had ground up an abortion pill and put it in her water.

How did he get the pill? From a website that sold the pills to “pregnant women” who couldn’t get them legally, no questions asked.

The police seized the website owners assets, and her client list.

She was sentenced to probation, but decided to spent her time in probation smoking pot, and so got a slightly longer probation with more drug tests.

The police had no problem hunting down a black market purveyor at abortion pills using DNS and email.

In this area abortion is now illegal. If this same situation had happened now, that list of clients would become a list of future defendants.

I heard the police did check the client list to make sure the site wasn’t primarily a way for men to force women to have abortions.
that's true. On the other hand: when the nazis came to power the communists were advocating for a generals strike, whereas the SPD leaders were staunchly against it.

now both parties took part in a general strike in 1920 against the Kapp putsch, and that was the end of the coup attempt.

It all could have been averted, I think people exaggerate the strength of the NSDAP in march 1933. They were already on a downturn, when they took power - in terms of the popular vote. It is possible that they would not have mattered, half a year later.
