I'm old enough to not play the latest thing when it comes out so the answer to the Preorder? question for me is always a firm No. Many games are flops, have tech issues or look like I might like them but then have an annoying (to me) thing which is evident after release. Then you can check reviews and game play vids to see what its like.
Height does make phones less comfortable to handle with a single hand, which is what I prefer to do most of the time. They are heavier, lean further back so you have to spread your fingers on the back more, and reaching the top to pull the notifs bar, for example, is harder.
I'd argue height is worse than width in comfort.
It’s Reddit - people _are_ sometimes stupid.
See for example Alon Levy's map of proposed HSR for the Eastern United States: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2019/02/10/high-speed-rai... They've actually done serious investigation of what's viable given typical costs and ridership of high-speed lines elsewhere in the world.

The high-speed bits they propose are basically a Boston-Atlanta-Chicago triangle with some ornaments (Chicago - KC, Chicago - Minneapolis, Cleveland - Pittsburgh - Philadelphia, and connections to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec), and separate networks in Florida and Texas. Connecting the Florida and Texas networks to the main one is marginal.

I'm not sure of their opinions on separate networks in the Pacific Northwest and in California, but I'm sure they have looked at it. I do recall them saying that it doesn't make sense to connect, say, Portland to San Francisco - there's just not much in between.
And those people are all receiving benefit from that citizenship. If for some reason they were forced to leave, they'd have a place to go. If they had no such place, they'd be refugees.

It's a situation the host country is obviously happy with as well, otherwise they would offer citizenship and the problem would be solved.
Sometimes I wish I had the shamelessness some people have, it seems to be a great way to advance your career.

That might have been the case in the past but nowadays every new server is Linux. MS still has a huge desktop and productivity footprint. Outlook/teams is the default. For my part, I have no choice but to log into my clusters from a Windows VM in some of kind of RDP.
I see what you’re saying and I respect it. You have to take care of yourself first.

However, as someone who worked in one of those fields, it’s draining when over half of your leaders are trend hoppers. They get up on stage frequently and talk about how excited they are, and how it’s a long journey ahead. And then as soon as the industry takes a slight downturn they all leave in unison.

Some of the leaders are truly passionate about the field and they’re still around. It’s very clear who is who from the way they act towards the employees.

The experience taught me to avoid hype industries unless I’m willing to make money the number one goal in my life, which is harder than I thought, since life has plenty of things more enjoyable than money.
And on top of that the effects of balding on women's mental health are even rougher than for men.
i think those things are not really comparable in terms of funding/difficulties to solve. there are so many positive outcomes that can come from this research, like regenerative cures.

and this would also help women who suffer from alopecia, it must be much worse for them as they can't use anti-androgens like propecia for men.

The target may believe one thing in the abstract, but find it hard to hold onto that in the face of unrelenting horrific pain.

The torturer has no reason to divulge anything at all to you, let alone useful information like "we're moot sure what information we're looking for." I doubt any target would ever hear that.

> you make sure that the secret is encrypted with a key that is split between multiple (mutually unknown) people across multiple jurisdictions, so that there is no harm in divulging your portion of the key the moment you are caught.

If you actually know the secret, they're torturing you for that, not your encryption keys.
Kind of interesting to imagine the motivation for the former, it's surely different to that which achieved it in the first place: 'I want to be who I was' or something, rather than 'this expresses who I am' or 'I like this sound' or whatever.
Same with Honda Fitta, with fitta being Swedish for pussy. And kiss, famously the name of a band, is Swedish for pee. Stadler also named one of their trains KISS, though in Sweden they marketed it by the working name Dosto.
I don't. Don't want to be reminded of aging.
Anonymous sources providing nothing but a statement are baseless.

Stadia will exist by the end of the summer. You don’t have to believe me. Like I said feel free to come back to this thread in October.
Tolkien's statement there, I take as a nod towards universal spirit.. basically accepting some validity in the Christian mythos, kindly, into his own unique realms.. but as said "only later" ..well after the invention and initial drawing.

This confirms, not contradicts, my own statement about Christianity "absorbing" all other mythos As If It Were Actually Christian. The acknowledgement from Tolkien is kind and generous, while the Christian theologians are somewhere in the middle, and the daily practice of socialized education is simply the opposite " no one is saved but through Christ"

pedantic, nagging insistence on "accepting primary sources" is exactly the closed-minded approach that is inevitable in lowest-common-denominator reading of the texts. unimpressive and unenlightening.. Is there really no other source of Truth than the Bible ? ask yourself
Maybe you mean the regular amazing new battery breakthrough?
When I first started packaging software for $employer, we adhered to the FHS. Then we started shipping software to corporate customers, who have Policies and Rules and Expectations which are diametrically opposed to the FHS. They don't want logs in /var/log, nor binaries in /usr/[local]/bin, because then someone with root access has to be involved in the installation process. They don't even want an RPM if they can help it, for the same reason. In the end we revamped the whole shebang and everything lives in our own folder structure whose root can be anywhere, where everything can be owned by arbitrary users, because customers are afraid of root.

They don't care that this makes their installation less secure, because they are convinced that it makes things more secure. shrug
I think this sort of thing becomes far less arousing once it is no longer taboo and uncommon. I'm gay and that probably means I've been in situations where I've been naked around people I might be attracted to more often than most straight men are (locker rooms, saunas, doctors visits, etc.). My experience has been that on its own nudity outside of a sexual situation isn't enough to be arousing, it's not something that even crosses my mind anymore.
No, it's not, I lived in a "3rd" world country and in some ways quality of life was better because some things were just so much cheaper. I was with people who weren't rich by any measure, living paycheck to paycheck and both parents working to get by. But despite that, it was STILL affordable to go out as a family every week and have great dinner or ice cream. Also here it's unheard of to get "custom-made" stuff, there it was not too expensive to get anything custom made, need a bigger bed, call the carpenter. Need some shelfs, call the carpenter, Need a door that fits you odd sized hole in the wall, call metal worker. Need pillows of certain size, go to a factory area not too far away and give them sizes, they are making 1000s a day, they can make you one too. There is STILL milk delivery at your door step, an old tradition around the world, but now it's UBER-approach. Quality of life is better because even with low salary you can get lot of stuff... which is a side effect of production being close to you, no sales taxes, and also lack of 1000 rules making 1 man operation feasible. People eat out there like it's free food.
Yeah exactly, comments then DMs.
> os: hpc/highly tuned single purpose oses/unikernel machines will become more dominant

As much as I like the idea, I'm not seeing this happening at all. What makes you say this will be more dominant?
Yes, funding is one thing. Other thing is that history of control systems and regulations is wild. For each border crossing you need different pantographs (some locomotives have four different pantographs for different countries), the engineer has to be able to identify different signalling systems, the train needs different computer systems for interpreting different control systems ...

There are initiatives like ETCS which partially improve the control situation, but even that has lots of national variations and takes ages to rollout.

Historic systems with little funding (relative to need) are fun.
And you can go half way by embedding your data in the page and working with it as you do now. Depends on what you are doing.
I've gotten so used to the comfort and convenience that I wear "tactical" khaki pants with a jacket and tie. The only comments I get are either good-natured needling or "hey that's a great idea."

I actually wish America were less militaristic but let's face it, the pants are great.
This comparison makes me even more excited for the Zenfone 9 — I miss my Nexus 4 and 5 specifically for their one-hand-friendly usage.
Yeah I just noticed Amazon Drive is going away. No more uploads after 2023 January, no more access for non-photo/video files some time toward end of 2023.

Years ago I got tired of the mess that was Google Picasa and transferred all photos, videos, and most important docs to Amazon Drive. Now I need to find yet another service.

If you look at the past from the perspective of the people who lived in in, then it's plain fact that many cultures oppressed women and that women were often seen as less strong, able, smart, etc. which led to reduced opportunities for whatever education existed at the time, learning specialized skills, or ability to hold positions of power.

All of these circumstances existed because of how people in the past thought and acted. This has a direct impact on the map we're looking at, which has mostly famous men. Men who had education, learned specialized skills, ascended to positions of power, etc.

So again like GP said, it's a bad-faith argument to try and shift to talking about class issues when the original point was simply about the gender inequality. They are different issues.

Yes, the only things worth keeping around from actual milsurp type gear in my experience is the BDUs and the compasses. Military compasses are actually really, really nice and there aren't many civilian offerings that present an acceptable level of damage resistance and quality. Especially if you use topo maps.

Oh, and lasagna MREs.
Thanks duped. Your answer gives me a different angle to think about. Could you expand on "crush the interview circuit"?
There’s a lot of good stuff to report on:
Ozone Healing

Acid Rain is not really a thing anymore

There is 2.24 million more square kilometers of forestland than 35 years ago

Millions of people have been lifted out of poverty and the trend is accelerating

Renewable energy has finally become cost effective

By most metrics we’re better off than the 90s except for people’s sentiment.
That’s not how it works. Would you believe the same about Google Ads? Rock solid foundation and all that.
> IG doesn’t have any of the people directory

Maybe it's just my country but I can find anyone I know or work with on there by typing their name in.
With Steam you can basically make your own personal Stadia with the steam link app, no need to re-buy any games again and no need to rely on anyone else's cloud services (as long as you have a decent connection and PC)
This certainly explains why I couldn't remember any, thanks a lot!
Wut? Geforce NOW absolutely trampled Stadia. It was just no contest at all.

And if Geforce Now goes under I retain all my games, because it’s all linked to Steam and Epic.

In my thirty's I shaved my balding head and spent my money on my teeth. No regrets.
I don't think you - or many of the people commenting here - read through the thread. The customer personally sold a "cheap" van and accepted a credit card as a payment, which is super, super sketchy. Of course Stripe flagged it. They were smart to do so.
Funny you mention it, reading his book "write useful books" is what initially inspired me to create this guide :p

Great book, I highly recommend it!
> Do you feel there's a difference between Jan6 and any of the BLM riots

Yes, I feel there's a very significant difference between an attempt to overthrow the Republic and establish monarchy with deliberate and explicit murderous intent, and protest gatherings that became violent after police began firing weapons into previously peaceful crowds.

I'm being completely serious here, how rotten by both-sidesism does your brain have to be to think that "prosecute the police" is a mantra just as blameworthy as "kill Pence, kill Pelosi"?
Trains in the US are widely prevalent! It's just that they're used for freight rather than passenger travel. The main driver behind this is the population density of the USA, cities are spaced too far apart to make passenger travel by train viable. Not coincidentally, the only area that does have significant passenger rail networks, the DC - Boston corridor, has population density similar to Western Europe.

One of my favorite stories is seeing a pair of naked Men walking down the sidewalk in the Castro. They had matching prince Albert's, with shiny chains ganging off their penises. They would chastise people on the sidewalk for looking at them. I like to think they were doing it tongue in cheek, a kind of performance art.

In my experience, the gay male community has a pretty good culture of noticing bodies and then moving on.
I would totally use this for really small hobbyist level stuff if it had something that "plugged" right into it as "pretty" and "feature full" and "easy to use" as Kibana.

From what I could tell clicking through its links on GitHub... it has no UI offering? It's just an API?

I guess technically that does compare 1:1 with Elasticsearch but...

ELK is what most people think of when they think of Elasticearch, right? aka... full blown stack complete with UI

This just gets the backend piece done from what I can tell. Any frontends that plug into it?
Adding to my previous comment:

If a student asked "how did life originate?" a response about about nucleic acid synthesis would be a bit disingenuous, because that covers only very, very tiny fraction of the surface area of the problem. The more honest answer would be that there are so many large gaps in our knowledge that we truly don't know.

To be clear, I'm not trying to cast skepticism on the whole of biology. There are other questions that we have much better answers to, like the evolutionary pathway from single cellular life to multicellular life. Or the evolutionary link between humans and great apes. But abiogenesis is not one of those questions.
Why stop at notifications?

I try to replace my artificial notifications with natural/organic notifications where possible. The only notifications on my phone that I allow are phone calls/texts from certain numbers. I don't want to constantly be in a state of "alertness". I seek serenity from digital devices on a daily basis.
I made an interactive art installation on this question once: A black box with a knob where you could adjust how much time you have, then it would offer you (Google streetview) panoramas of the locations it found within your distance, and in the end even print a paper slip with your travel itinerary to take with you.

The installation used realtime data (Google directions API): I somehow figured out, that if I would run this from a local machine and reset the browser frequently, Google would let me do this even without an API key… they certainly sensed something was awry and I did get API warnings and captchas because of 'suspicious traffic on my network', but they were nice enough not to block me completely. I strongly doubt this would still work though, this was in 2017.

No, there is a mentality along the median among those who are tac bros, and this article very clearly is either about or inspired by concerns regarding them. I was attempting to address the ignorance that backs up the intended primary points of it.

>but I bought them originally for the Urban SAR team I was on, and loved them enough to use them for camping, jogging, yard work, etc etc. Just high quality.

I doubt the writer would be concerned about you going camping, with regard to

And the fact is that while taking a train the full length of the Northeast Corridor takes too long to be practical most of the time, NYC to points north and NYC to points south works pretty well (i.e. is competitive with flying) with existing trains.
I don't think that the things we're saying are mutually exclusive
Italy is much smaller than the US. It’s about the equivalent size of New Mexico - which has 1/30th the population (2M).

Public transit isn’t bad - I told on an Amtrak from LA to SD yesterday which was quite nice.

But, I also rode on the LA metro which was filed with mobs of mentally ill marauders.

My experience to Rome (albeit a bit over a decade ago) was similar. That’s an off putting response that likely plays a big role in sinking demand for public transit - esp. as compared to a car.

Of course, America was also designed for the auto - we’re newer, and gas was cheap during the highway construction heyday.
You’re both correct; a fair number of applications put their configuration in ~/.local/share even though that wasn’t the intent.
Why would they? Because of the reputational damage of not doing so.
Strictly speaking /etc should be relatively static, and dynamic data should go into /var, so you (or the package installation) would create /var/lib/foobar with proper ownership.
It doesn’t make sense to connect Portland and SF, but there’s a lot of value to be gained in connecting Portland and Vancouver BC, and San Diego to SF/possibly Sacramento.

We would definitely want to have a “constellation” of networks rather than one interconnected system given the geography of the US, and that’s fine. There’s never going to be a time when it makes more sense to travel from LA to NYC by rail instead of flying.

The biggest takeaway is that there is a specific role that HSR can play, but it’s not going to take over all long distance trips. Given where we are starting in the US, however, there is a massive mine of untapped potential.
> No civilian you can see all tac'd up is someone you should be worried about

The kid who shot up Uvalde was wearing a plate carrier with no plates. It doesn't take training or even a basic understanding of the tools to cause a lot of damage.

I'm not worried about the regular at a gun range or the vast vast majority of the gun community, I'm worried about the subset of weird, isolated, tacticool posers who have done a ton of damage on the basis of people telling them "you need to STAND UP and DO SOMETHING".
I spend some time on macOS every day (as part of work), and wasn't interested in learning mac shortcuts. I mean I tried, but the context switch was kinda difficult after so many years on Linux. This could be useful for folks who wanna use macOS like they use Ubuntu.
- I allow selective notifications, but I've disabled all sound and vibrations from them (except for a couple critical contacts on IM).
- Absolutely no notifications for email.
- All calls come through. Haven't gotten a spam call in years.

For me, this setup allows for a good balance of instantly knowing what's up when checking the phone but without being disturbed.
I'd say we're about 20 years away from commercial fusion.
Their hosted VPN (FusionHub) service pricing is indeed quite insane. For my use case, I'm using a pretty minimal amount of bandwidth, so I've just deployed my own FusionHub Solo instance.
As soon as you add a tax to something that money goes somewhere and politicians (or more often then not their offspring) will be profiting off it and then where is the impetus to prevent it when it brings money in?

Smoking could be completely phased out but it wont because it's just too profitable for the government.

Or, more accurately, those with mild balding go ahead and get it fixed. Leaving those with the power donut the choice between Jason Alexander or Patrick Stewart.

Dwayne Johnson was bald by the time he started acting, probably due to steroid use.
Ah yes I see it now. She's close though!

John Lennon once famously claimed the Beatles were "More popular than Jesus" [1]. His notability index is 27. I guess he must have been right.

Scott Adams recently had a podcast on this topic:

"All major topics have at least one word that is critical to our debate, that we don't use the same way."

"Words That Don’t Have Meaning Anymore, So We Can Stop Debating Them": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGIUUzDj3hU (about 5 minutes in).

The words were:

- Woman
- Find (i.e. discover vs make up)
- Insurrection
- Fascism
- Autonomy
- Phobic
- Racist
- Vaccine
- Meeting
- Baby
- Evidence
- Audit
- Science
- Healthy
- Rights
There are plenty of higher density areas within the US though, where trains would be a good option. Maybe Cyanide Springs, Oklahoma to Blandsville, North Dakota doesn't make sense for trains, but you could do bits of the PNW, California and the east coast with higher quality rail pretty successfully.
Wow, crazy! On Amtrak?
Most of it is, because most of it is cargo-culting by amateurs who just believe what they read on SO and forums and who have never actually written anything non-trivial, much less shipped a game.
I find it tragic how common this rhetoric exists, where one says we should take something seriously immediately after downplaying the issue with a crippling "[no] convincing evidence" clause.

Surely that's factored in in "per woman"?
I think we should be trying to do this kind of thing, but...

it does make you wonder whether in 30 years, we'll have the infrastructure (fusion, much larger LEO refueling capacity, etc) to put it there in 10 years instead.
Is that really a staggering gap? The nucleotides jumble together until they randomly hit a config that leads to a pattern that leads to more of that config. We don’t know what that path is exactly but we can be pretty sure it’s the result of random mumbling through a series of random searches in an organic chemistry space.

Computers don’t arise randomly (without annoying semantic arguments).
