Why is there never honesty in this talks.

Even the degrowth in japan is subsidized with growth in other regions. Real degrowth is instability, is human nature going feral back to religous roots, make many copies, fight the outsiders unbelievers, recover make many copies.

Cycling this drain, decomplexifies societies, loosing the ability to supply bureaucracy, research and experiments.

Lots of countries worldwide partially circle or circled in this loop.

One can not fix a situation, one does not talk and observe objectively. This includes disabilitys of the species as a system constraint.
I find the phrasing of the question annoying and left the article without having my curiosity satisfied.

The question phrased as "Why Nagasaki?" is actually "Why a second nuclear bomb?"

But why was it Nagasaki? The closest to an answer the article seems to give is "Because Kokura was clouded" or "Because they wanted to spare Kyoto", neither of which really satisfies why Nagasaki (or Kokura, or Hiroshima for that matter) made the list in the first place.

I largely only know of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of the nuclear bombings. So why wasn't it Tokyo or Osaka?

Annoyingly, the author does this phrasing again when linking to a page that he purports answers the question "Why Hiroshima", but in facts discuss "Why throwing a nuclear bomb at all"
GitLab has been upsetting their paying customers for a long time. Features are constantly being shifted to higher paying tiers and every time I had a problem with something I found an issue on their tracker that's 5 years old, with countless "Another paying customer with XXX seats requesting this..." comments from their staff.

We've had a hard time selling the price increase to upper management, the $5 per seat was perfect. We have tons of users who log in once or twice a month just to look at something and paying $20 for that doesn't make sense.

Also, we really don't care about 99% of the features they keep pumping out. They're great if you're a smaller company starting out, but larger ones already have other tools that are established and won't be going away. I don't need a half baked JIRA clone, or half baked GitOps, or any of the other myriad of strange features. I only want required merge request approvals, yet it's all in the same $20 version. Oh, and I'd also like to use the API to retrieve project avatars, but that's one of those issues that have been open for years.
Dark matter as a particle has to have certain properties in order to satisfy what we know about a) it's EW interactions and b) the fact we haven't seen it yet.

Over the next 20 years or so we will likely cover a huge amount of the phase space of direct observation of dark matter like candidates assuming they weakly interact with the standard model.

If we observe it, great we now know a huge chunk more than ever before of the universe.

If we fail to observe it then we have to go away and explain the Dark Matter problem another way. Axions are my personal favourite here because I claim nature for her beauty is sometimes horrible. But this could (in the most scary scenario) potentially be non quantisable interactions between unknown aspects of the universe. At that point we need to further our understanding of potential graviton candidates to evolve our theories of spacetime.

DM isn't a solid prediction like an aether it's a statement of a big gap in our knowledge that has implications to asto and particle physics models.

The big problem is then CP violation (why more matter than not, real why are we here at all stuff). This can't be explained by the standard model and stuff we can see and touch as far as we know. So we assume that this huge amount of it that we can't explain must come from interactions with new particles somewhere in some way at some energy scale.

Physicists try to narrow down that phase space of where and how but a lot of this stuff makes the search for the higgs, look like cheating and watching where your parents hid the Easter eggs. There is scary little to directly go on so theoreticians have to get clever.

Edit:
There is also little to say that extra-SM CP violation _must_ be from the same source as Dark Matter astro candidates. The combination of the 2 fields is much more a car of. "Hmm we both have a missing piece in our jigsaw that has 3 of the same sides and a 4th we've never seen. That's odd let's look together to try and find it."
Modeling of the early universe to today relies on some unknown amount of CP violation occurring and we know we see it in particle physics which describes everything we see eat and touch. So why the amounts are so different (orders of magnitude different) keeps some scientists up at night.
I used Arch and have access the pretty much the latest release of Podman anytime. Your qualms with Ubuntu packaging don't make a lot of sense. Any distro has requirements to become an official packager. Canonical and Ubuntu have been pushing LXC/LXD as their container solution. If they wanted the latest version of Podman then their packagers can build and package it, or someone else can and create a repository or PPA.

Also, I was able to get it to work on Windows fine. Maybe try removing your existing install and creating a new one.
Not for heating oil, since most installations that use gas for heating do not gace the capacity to switch to oil. And those who have the capacity to switch their heating system would choose a heat pump over oil (better yield).

But oil (&coal) may be bought to generate electricity (to replace gas, not for heating but for electricity production. Some European countries such as Germany are heavily reliant on gas for electricity production), and that may still drive petrol up
I don’t care about people who take forever. Or who don’t know things. What I dislike is people who don’t care. Who write just shit that then breaks all the time or has to be fixed by others. If you are slow, take your time. But please care enough to write quality code.
Careful with how you word things. Some c-levels would take your comment as a challenge, and follow up with a “yet.”
Disregarding the contents of the article, if you looked at the thread of the "we're giving you less space" announcement, I saw a handful of people just here who were like "wait, why do we have all these artifacts? why is there no automated (and documented) retention policy for this crap?" - so I think Gitlab have to blame themselves for this part. They don't deleted old stuff and don't even make it easy for the users to delete their old stuff - hard disk usage goes up. surprised pikachu face

But yes, I know this is not the full story and I'm not even sure I have a Gitlab account, so I'm at least not an entitled user of their service in any noticeable manner ;)

I am personally not a fan of this style of rebuttal on the climate-state-sponsored-religion. While I have plenty of reservations against the current state, institutional vested interests and science itself on this topic (conceptual and/or particular), I do not think that logic in this document is solid, and conclusions presented do not follow from it.

Prof. Linzden has a unique ability to discuss this topic on a higher plane of understanding, and it is not displayed in this kind of document. Since climate-science is now a fully political topic/domain where facts are only sought after only so far they support predetermined conclusions, and discussions are entirely of a moral character (only outward form of discussion are followed but fundamental assumptions are never allowed to be questioned/examined). Under these conditions, this document has exactly zero value to people with invested emotional currency in this topic, on either side of the fence.

Of cause this is not new for civilizations: from crusades, witch-hunts, to malthusians and then eugenics, this is just another of these 'ideas' turning into government sponsored terror over some segments of populations (even on different continents/countries can be the cause of perceived 'risk' to the enlightened) who are in 'sin'.
As long as they have Wi-Fi, Calibre has a nice web server for this.
You have to take into account that the open source software constitute a very small fraction the overall software both in term of quantity of products and in term of developpers involved.

Also there is a lot of innovation in open source software, the thing is those are often not seen nor directed to end users. Because many open source projects are initially started by developers and not by product design and marketing teams, the most successful open source projects that make products that solve developers problems or meet their needs.
You're absolutely right! And this is also exactly what the author does. Exercising the right to freedom of speech by complaining about the entitled freeloaders who complain (a tiny sliver of) their freebies got taken away from them.

We sure love to complain. It's our freedom of speech.

Yes, recreating some aspects of the financial system but with an open source, permissionless, and decentralized base layer that uses more modern code and cryptography.

From that, additional applications can also be built on top - multi signatory accounts, a social graph, ownership of digital property, decentralized exchange and lending services, escrow, crowdfunding, and more.
So clear up my confusion: what should we do about it? Are we supposed to commit their human rights abuses for them, by denying entry to their best and brightest?
I don't think Podman developers are even really strongly integrated into Red Hat OS development goals. They create something that can be packaged and works on most Linux distros. I do think that Podman does try to be a replacement for docker though, and that is why they have the podman-docker layer. They may not outright say it because of the Docker licensing fiasco, but with Podman Desktop it is clear that they are pushing for an alternative to Docker.

>Now that Kindle is supporting ePUB...

Kindles do not support ePUB. But you can send ePUBs through the Amazon online conversion service now, which wasn't possible in the past.
Hello, this solves a real problem for me as a growing startup CTO (~70 people) still handling most account creation / removal manually. I couldn't find a list of your integrations on your website? Seems like it should be a top level menu entry!
> In fact it is not even proven that the bombings had any meaningful impact to the decisions to surrender. If the Japanese didn't surrender after having whole cities firebombed, it is insane to think the atomic bombings would have had any more impact on moral.

If you look at which shaped fiction the most, there is no doubt that the nuclear bombings had a much greater impact than the fire bombings.

So I don't think it is insane to say that a single bomb with the power of thousands regular bombs can cause a significant impact on morale, compared to the regular bombs.
You did not add anything of value to the discussion, and it has nothing to do with my comment. You not even bringing a real argument for anything to the table. An absolute preposterous idea that Fuku being an idiot says anything about other public intellectuals. Don't make me, or anyone else, the target of your own internal discussion. Especially such nonsense.

Pure corporate apologist bollocks. Shame on the author.

When a business offers something for free there's always and everywhere a commercial imperative behind it that is calculated to be to the beneift of the business (any consumer benefit is incidental).

Fundamentally the problem with this move is that it's anti-consumer. A corp wears some cost up-front to feed some benefit, and then when the cost to the consumer to switch is high enough, they pull the original deal (and yeah, as someone else said, this often happens sometime after institutional money gets involved).

At least drug dealers have the temerity to TELL you that only the first one's free. Corps that bait and switch like this without grandfathering in the people they made the original deal with are straight up exploitative.

Put whatever lipstick you want on that pig Joe, you're not a make-up artist, you're a shill.
The keyword here is infrastructure platforms. When those change, everything built on top has to change with it and this create work for people.

I could imagine what happen if gmail would suddenly become a paid platform with no free tier. Users would have to change very single account they got in the world that is tied to that email, and I know in some cases you might need to contact support (through email) or use a recovery password. A lot of peoples identity is tied to a free service, a "freebie" given by a for-profit company.

I fully agree that users have some outsized expectations on free infrastructure platforms, through I wouldn't blame that on the user. User's don't generally have much choice in what platform their bought products is built on top, but it is them that feel the effect first when the bottom layer is changed under their feet.
My comment was sarcastic, not sure it came through.
sounds more like a curse.
My 4th generation Kindle from 2011 didn't get a software update.
Great advice but I disagree that “most executives aren’t awful”. Leadership is a hard and opaque role. More often than not the wrong people are promoted to management. Poor leadership is the norm, not the exception.
Great advice. I have an executive/boss who is rather special. He acts more or less like a french aristocrat from the 17th century. His main focus is on chitchat. However, when the matter at hand is critical enough and i feel the need to step up he does listen . Most times i get my way but later on i will hear some blaming for the situation. I can live with that. Right now i need to start a serious conversation affecting the future of the company (small company, 50 people). I have a solution which involves intellectual property that i hold- i am not an employee, he is my client but treats me as such. How can i make it easier for him to align? Anyone who has been in a similar situation?
My wife had a Big Crunch at her job so I needed to leave early every day to pick up my son instead of my wife doing it. My job gave zero fucks and wanted my butt-in-seat until 5pm. I still left 30 minutes early every day and got fired for it, but not before lining up another job. Some work places seem great, until real life hits you in the face. I wish there was some way to detect empathy of a workplace before joining, without coming across as sketchy.

OK, but... the 1960s were literally 60 years ago. The world looks very different, and so does healthcare. Is it really comparable?
The same questions arise around E2EE, and whether those protocols should be policed more heavily and backdoored by governments.
> What about detransitioners?

Detransitioners are a tragic case, but they amount of detransitioners compared to all trans people is smaller than the amount of trans people compared to the rest of the population.

If taking detransitioners into account is the primary priority of trans healthcare for you, then trans people should be an equal or larger priority in overall healthcare as well.

> Not to mention the underage surgeries some of them receive.

That's something that's questionable, but it's not that simple either. Cis people doing surgery against gynecomastia is the majority of underage surgeries of this type.

> to outright block their puberty

It's just paused. It continues as if nothing had happened the moment you stop, with no risk to the patient. Even the Cass Review argues that blockers are entirely safe for AMAB trans people. It also argues that AMAB trans people have such a small percentage of detransitioners that it's basically disregardable.

If the Cass Review, a paper that was commissioned to find a way to reject healthcare for trans people, argues it's safe, you can trust it is safe.
The United States is not crowded whatsoever. We have no dense cities other than New York. Nobody is forced to live out in such remote areas, not even refugees.

If you choose to live out in the middle of nowhere you’re going to have to pay for all kinds of expensive infrastructure or do without. Why do taxpayers have to cover this particular living expense?
Sorry, that number was pulled out of my ass, but the collapse is happening:

> In 1985, there were 7 working-age people for each dependent elderly person. By 2010, that number had dropped all the way to 2.8. Moreover, it is projected to fall even further: to 1.7 in 2035 and 1.3 in 2060.

This conflates two quite different trends that should be considered separately:

1. A strange reluctance to financially support important software projects

2. Insistence on Free and Open Source software

I agree the first point is a legitimate failing of the software community, such as it is. I get the impression only a few percent of software professionals (or for that matter software-powered organisations) have ever, say, financially supported a FOSS project.

The second point though is not a failing. The problems with non-Free software are very apparent.

General belief in a just world is associated with dishonest behavior (2017)
The just-world hypothesis or just-world fallacy is the cognitive bias that assumes that "people get what they deserve" – that actions will have morally fair and fitting consequences for the actor. For example, the assumptions that noble actions will eventually be rewarded and evil actions will eventually be punished fall under this hypothesis. In other words, the just-world hypothesis is the tendency to attribute consequences to—or expect consequences as the result of— either a universal force that restores moral balance or a universal connection between the nature of actions and their results. This belief generally implies the existence of cosmic justice, destiny, divine providence, desert, stability, and/or order. It is often associated with a variety of fundamental fallacies, especially in regard to rationalizing suffering on the grounds that the sufferers "deserve" it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis

They found that people who have a strong tendency to believe in a just world also tend to be more religious, more authoritarian, more conservative, more likely to admire political leaders and existing social institutions, and more likely to have negative attitudes toward underprivileged groups.

Why do people believe in the just-world fallacy?
The just-world theory (Lerner, 1980) assumes that people want to believe that they live in a world where good things happen to good people and bad things only to bad ones and where therefore everyone harvests what they sow (see also Furnham, 2003; Dalbert, 2009; Hafer and Sutton, 2016).Sep 25, 2017

Who believes in a just world?
Believers in a just world have been found to be more religious, more authoritarian, and more oriented toward the internal control of reinforcements than nonbelievers. They are also more likely to admire political leaders and existing social institutions, and to have negative attitudes toward underprivileged groups.
The problem here is that it isn't attempting to prevent harm. The whole purpose for it is that it gives the government more power over people online. Harm prevention is just a front.
This isn't accurate. For instance, most contributions to the Linux kernel are written by paid professionals.
Again, if Amazon just said "hey you get £10 off your Kindle purchase if you subscribe to our newsletter", would that be any better?

>>why would they need to make a version where you got ads on top of that

Gee, to make a device cheaper for you.

>>I guess if we follow your logic they could build phones, consoles and TVs with ads too

I mean....yes. I'm just surprised this hasn't happened already.
Don’t think about what you want to say. When you think about what you want to say, you stop listening.

Instead listen openly, mirror to get more information on anything you’re unclear about. People love being mirrored (repeat the last thing they said but as a question- Chris Voss writes about this in ‘Never Split the Difference’).

Get enough information until you understand the gist of what the speaker is trying to say from their point of view. Stay curious. Refrain from making assumptions or assigning any judgement. It’s easier to persuade when you deeply understand their view and why they have it

You can practice getting the gist in conversations you observe but aren’t part of. Then in group settings you’ll start finding yourself saying, what I think so and so meant was… Added benefit is when the other person feels heard and you help advance the conversation for all participants, you’ll be seen as a great conversationalist

Remember it’s not about what you want to say. It’s about how you want the listener to feel during the conversation. Make them feel heard, earn their trust. Earn their trust, persuade them of anything
Unfortunately a lot of the models try to remove DM completely from either a gravity or CP perspective and both have direct consequences as to what sort of stable structures in the universe that allow to form. And the models often conflict with other observations showing theyre no better.

It's asif Newton observed an extra solar comet and therefore decided the Principia must otherwise all be wrong. It's a big step to say shinny thing in sky makes the Apple not fall as we observe it.
