> Autodesk or simply get acquired/assimilated

This is not even a question, there is no room to wonder. Autodesk WILL buy and KILL whatever software that threatens its own.

Even in 2008, they just bought and killed one of their competitor in VFX, Softimage. Assuring everyone they wont kill it. This was a big deal. And ofc they killed it, basically telling their customers to go learn Max or Maya.
you should have at least complained to consumer forum.

and for insult case, in court, am sure you will get your revenge by 2042..

> There are no positive natural human rights, only the negative ones (rights to be free from violence, including bodily autonomy, freedom of speech, rights to keep property etc).

I'd say that there are no natural rights. Never heard a good argument for any of them.
I question your premises:

Why do you think all climate activists do not practice religion?

Why do you think fighting for the environment is not part of a moral purpose?

Why do you think climate activists lack a sense of meaning?
I think the reverse would be equally as informative if not more.

It's amazing how many people in government globally refuse to understand this. The UK government has just been talking about inheritable 50 year mortgages. No one wants to build more housing.

I think it might help people understand to put it in terms like this: there are 100 housing units out there and 150 people. How do we solve the problem?
We have warped peoples minds so much they can’t think outside of a consumerist mindset. It’s like it’s a revelation to people that they need to be an active participant in their own lives. As if magical services ought to exist to serve them and bring them comfort on-demand, less they make a claim to being underserved. Magical carpenter elves should build them a home overnight using materials sourced by magic, by right.

GreenPan falls under the “ceramic” nonstick category. When I looked into this category 2-3 years ago most of the pans had Teflon or other fluorinated compounds (Teflon-like) as the final coating on top.

I’ve seen greenpans perform about the same in terms of non-stickiness and durability as regular nonstick pans.

In light of https://www.leafscore.com/eco-friendly-kitchen-products/why-... and my own personal experiences I am deeply skeptical of “ceramic” nonstick being any safer than typical PFOA-free but PFAS-containing nonstick pans.

In fact I suspect (and 2-3 years ago confirmed) that most “ceramic” nonstick pans are still coated in teflon like materials. Possibly GreenPan isn’t, but they also won’t tell you what they ARE coated with…so I’m pretty sure they know they’re doing something dirty.
> Government is your big brother

Government IS your big brother, in the sense that it's a means of ensuring that a single individual can't run roughshod over the rights of others. These "government bad" hot takes ring so hollow at this point. We live in a society. That bespeaks responsibilities to our fellow citizens.

> nobody feels uneasy when these were commoditized

(I bet a sizable portion of the UK is feeling particularly uneasy about water commoditization right now.)
Weird.

Deathbed Perspective
I'd modify that to 'greedy states and corporations' as the state-run socialist-style nations with excess fossil fuel reserves (Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Russia, etc.) are just as bent on exporting their fossil fuels as those that adhere to Wall Street corporate capitalism models (the USA, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, UAE, etc.).

In both cases, the problem is explainable - here's a person sitting on an oil well that brings them US$10 million per year (or equivalent), resulting in a lifestyle of relative luxury and abundance, and you say to them, shut down that oil well, use your saved resources to put up solar and wind turbines and batteries to meet your regional energy needs, and reduce your yearly income by 90% as a result, because no more exports!

Short-sighted greed is certainly a universal phenomenon, we can conclude.
As a Georgian might I add something: Unfortunately monk on that pillar is fucking piece of shit, before church there was a remnants of pre-Christianity worship (phallic pillars were popular) of fertility up there, asking for archeological works, but he either destroyed or removed artefacts completely.

Next to that pillar, there was rock climbing route sponsored by government of Germany for Georgians, rock climbers worked for years to install it - he fought them physically to remove it, by his words - nothing should go higher than worshiping of his imaginary gods.

So, yeah - while Georgia is super underrated religious people like him ruin everything.
Doesn't Teflon degrade due to the high Temps? I really don't know that much about it, but it's just the opposite with cast iron seasoning: heat hardens.
Cast iron is fine, but it has been talked about to death on the internet.
Patterns.dev – Modern Web App Design Patterns
I disagree somewhat. I think the 30 year mortgage has pushed prices up much higher than they would have been, because of the leverage, and people only look at the monthly repayment. The fact that it has led to intergenerational wealth (among the rich who can afford houses) is a direct side effect of the fact that houses are so expensive. It seems like saying it has generated wealth is begging the question.
2022 Oder Environmental Disaster
Sure, and you can say the same for sports cars, stocks, cell phones, yachts, and basically anything that can be bought and sold.
New cast iron usually isn't finished as well. I have seen people take new cast iron to a machine shop and have the cooking surface smoothed down a bit.
> Funny to see people elsewhere “rediscovering” these products.

It’s funny for us Americans to watch our fellow Americans go through their “cast iron is amazing” phase. Cast iron is actually very common here as well, but many young people start with a cheap nonstick pan and only later discover that there is a range of cookware options available.

In reality, an experienced cook will use a variety of cookware for different tasks. Having cast iron, non-stick, stainless steel, and enameled cookware available is very common.

I appreciate cast iron, but this trend of worshipping it as the one true cookware is funny. Good nonstick pans are amazing when used properly and replaced when they wear out.
The problem is that our system has perverse incentives around real-estate that encourage extreme profit seeking while liming the supply of affordable housing.

We need to restructure taxes around real estate and mortgages to encourage single family home ownership and affordable rental units. Then we can let capitalism run wild until people learn to game the new rules.
Have you considered Webex? The newer versions are a lot more comprehensive and more akin to say Telegram or Slack.

Owning your own house and paying rent through taxes is a priviledge not a right in the U.S.
Which is to say you are buying into quaint myth in most of comments here. An example of how a lie justifies a system of corruption and exploitation.
Personally - I find carbonsteel pans are basically my favorite ever.

Slightly heftier than stainless and much easier to season. I have a set of stainless (relatively nice triple clad Cuisinart) and I still much prefer the carbon steel pans.

It's essentially what cast iron pans would be if we had better manufacturing techniques, and they work really well.

Backing up though - I would 100% take cast iron over just stainless (in every situation except a professional kitchen) and there's not much that would entice me to buy a non-stick pan, basically ever, at this point. The only thing they do ok is eggs, and a tiny egg pan in cast iron does basically the same without ever needing to be replaced (or giving me liver cancer).

Cast iron isn't hard to use, is indestructible, has a very low chance of poisoning me (and handily helps provide iron in my diet), and just makes things brown like nothing else I've used - nothing will make hash browns or a grilled cheese sandwich like cast iron.

Plus it's dirt cheap (less cheap is carbon steel, but again - very nice).

What's not to like?
Maybe they fixed it and I gotta upgrade, but for me animated gifs have been broken for a couple weeks.
A lot of plants had to be reduced in power output and are running only because of special allowances to heat the river water hotter than normally allowed. Meanwhile rivers like the Rhine and the Loire are at record low levels, in many places you can walk large parts of the river bed leaving only a narrow par where there is water. Shipping on the Rhine might have to be stopped in a week or so.

The government is advising against walking in the river beds, as people might step on WW2 ammunition which had not exploded.
My first impression of this idea is that it is fantastic, and maybe the US government should pass a regulation requiring this of all companies.
> Making statements that imply that the "cost" only boils down to "fuel cost" is essentially lying.

And yet this is exactly how fossil fuel companies and their proponents (even individuals outside the industry, if you can believe it) justify their "lower cost". The true cost of fossil fuels is hidden due to extreme externalities such as their impact on the climate, ecology, and human health.
If you don't like that, the logical thing is to support water commiditization so that nestle doesn't get it for free.

The challenge is that the company you work for is almost never the best investment on its own. That's why retirement funds are diversified. I would worry about giving everyone the ability to bet 99% of their wealth on a single company. The reason there are investors is because they've previously invested their money in a risk appropriate way. Now there's a whole argument around intergenerational family wealth which skews everyone's starting point, but it's probably better than concentrating that wealth in a single point of failure (the state who gives you UBI). Probably the right approach to wealth inequality is more tax on non-beneficial uses of money(yachts), and more incentives for mutually beneficial pursuits (cheaper energy).
Unethical? Should be disallowed period. I do strongly believe that once a propery is yours what you do with it is your concern and nobody else's. However, the business practice of purchasing properties to profit from selling it again in the future should not be allowed. So, what should happen is the government should not allow the transfer of ownership when the seller has a) multiple properties and b) is selling a propery for more than 3% (inflation adjusted) of the intial purchase value. I am all for living in a house and selling it at a ridiculous profit though so long as that is your only property.

With the exception of employee housing, any non-individual entity including agents of corporations should not be allowed to purchase even one residential property.

With the exception of diplomats, foreign citizens should not be allowed to purchase more than one property.

These laws should be applied in any developed country.

This is one of the reasons they wanted corporations to have rights as a person, because in regular reasoning a corporation owning houses, making speeches and donating to parties makes no sense as their activity and existence is entirely in the sphere of privileges not rights.
The GP said they just need access to your .ssh directory (not root access, no mention of a root kit). A pass phrase on the key is a valid mitigation for that level of access.

You don’t need to type it, you can store it in a password manager and copy/paste, which is pretty fast. I do it all the time, it’s not a big deal.
Yes, you have less personal freedom to make changes to the house and your own lifestyle if you don't own the house.
> Deregulate construction, get rid of unions, prioritize developer rights over tenant or homeowner rights.

These all assume that the cost of new development is the building/development itself. It isn't. It's the land.

The correct solution to this is a land tax based on the assessed value of the land.
Thank you for than information. Living in germany and didnt know that.
The author offers a plausible explanation for early digital recordings gaining a bad reputation: the release of CDs from masters made for vinyl, without reversing the high-end enhancement those masters were made with in order to compensate for the losses that occur later in the process. As the author says, "the original master tape is not how those analog albums were meant to sound. The record is."

Making a vinyl recording from a master intended for high-fidelity (as opposed to lossily-compressed) digital reproduction will have the opposite problem.

All of this is an argument for matching the master to the medium, rather than for a one-step analogue process (to be clear, none of this justifies MoFi's deception - in fact, one can argue that it was not only being deceptive, but also deliberately exploiting some misunderstandings of its customers.)
One doesn't have to wait until deathbed to gain this perspective. Aging provides the same benefit albeit not as strongly. It tends to get loud enough to be heard in the mind at around 35 years of age and gets louder and louder from then on
In general i think its not about enforcement, but incentives e.g. designing a tax system that penalises owning many homes.
It's statistically overrepresented in PhD students. Something like 40% fit the criteria for severe depression or severe anxiety.
On Ubuntu Linux (for years) I've used the following without issue, ranging from multiple times to every day, video and audio:

Hangouts
Google Meet
Skype
Zoom
Teams

Also, Wayland had issues years ago, that may have been related to the issue you experienced.
Zoom got lucky that they managed to build a brand name just around the time Covid hit and everybody discovered that they needed to do video calls suddenly. I don't think it's particularly well designed or has any particularly novel features. I've been doing online meetings for a very long time and Zoom is just yet another thing here. Very middle of the road in terms of design, UX, or what it does.

In any case, I seem to need to talk to various companies using a disturbingly wide range of applications on a regular basis. Google Meets, Zoom, MS Teams, Cisco WebEx, Skype are all things I've used professionally in the recently. I've also used Slack, Discord, as well as Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger.

The thing is, they all kind of work and roughly with similar audio/video quality and all with the same kind of performance, usability, and other issues. Some of these are more suitable for 1 on 1 meetings and some of these things seem to be geared towards corporate setups.

I have a slight preference for using Google Meets; mainly because I can just launch that straight into the browser (Firefox) without any fuss and it just seems to work and is actually designed to work that way. There is no app even. You just click the thing in the calendar and it opens. Best of all, it plays nice with Firefox containers. So I can join corporate meetings with one account and private meetings with another. The most annoying thing is when you have 1 minute to join a meeting and you discover you need to first install some enterprise crap ware to join and then deal with permissions for it needing access to the screen, audio, etc. I just got a new laptop so, I got to do this a few times already in the last week.
So that water supply becomes a workable business model, increasing supply, and so that uneconomic water usage is discouraged. Such as almond farming in Southern California during the summer
Unethical? No. Laughably stupid? Yes.

It is maddening, knowing that valuation is totally detached from reality - and still having no alternative but to join the game of musical chairs. I genuinely don't understand how anyone can think "Unlike every other thing since forever, my continued use of this property for 20 years actually makes it more valuable... better jack up the price to twice what I paid for it!"

In addition to the insult to your intelligence, you've got the government doing its very best to help investment banks outbid you. Injecting capital into the economy by providing interest free loans and bailouts to the very top of the power structure... what could possibly go wrong?
The zoning argument is such a myopic perspective on the problem. The issue with housing affordability is across many communities, most of which have no issues with shortages of buildable land nor even shortages of housing. The primary impact on prices is from the demand side due to cheap credit from artificially low interest rates and speculation by large investors and small time speculators moving into real estate.
What if no one wants to build you a house? Are your human rights being violated because others want to use their doing other things than building you a home?
Many of the causes of homelessness are anti-commodification:

“This is a family friendly neighborhood, we don’t want high arise apartments here. You can’t treat real estate like a commodity, these are peoples homes and communities! We need to preserve our neighborhoods character!”
So…solidworks?
The only thing lisp seems to have not figured out yet is this small thing we call "Syntax", which the PL community mostly figured out 50 years ago : you write terse notations and the compiler builds up the tree for you, you don't layout the syntax tree yourself.

Lisp also seems to have a shortage of knowledgeable advocates who understands other programming languages enough to know that not everything is or needs to be a lisp.
Yeah. You just have to build more. Simple as that.

I was talking to a NIMBY and converted her to YIMBY by relating to her that in Santiago anybody builds whatever the fuck wherever the fuck, zoning be damned basically, and that leads to rent being like $150 a month. For real, you get what you get in SF for $4000 a month for ah...$400 a month in Santiago. And the minimum is very low. Sometimes $100.
I agree, proper bike infrastructure is painfully undervalued, even amongst transit stans
So... why exactly does Zoom even have root on the mac? Google and Microsoft make all this stuff work in a browser...
Like democracy, make is the worst build system to the exception of every other other. Like Maven. What demented mind thought XML was a good idea compared to the simple and clean DSL of Make (or Ninja)?
Worth noting both Adam Smith and Marx agreed that landlords were parasites.
thank you! You are absolutely right. The idea I wanted to write is ok, but I’ve used different terms. I need somehow to rephrase it.
I like Zoom's easy to use UX. I can't stand the complex UI of Teams and it sucks I have to use it every day.

Did you revisit every query from your recent Google searches (or) Is it that you have a good memory that you were able to remember poor results from looking at the query?

Most OEM PCs also include a Windows license. The difference is that Apple will not sell a standalone MacOS license to run on a non-Mac PC or on a VM.
We had that, it was called Windows 95 and you got viruses by merely connecting the computer to the net.
Also the Zoom client has much better touch-ups and lighting controls. When I use Zoom now, I don’t need to use my studio lights but when I do Google Meet or any other web-based one, half my face is in the shadow and there’s no software way to fix it.
VS 6 is great, honestly, if you're just hacking c89 or a narrow subset of c++98. Look out, though, the compiler isn't fully standards compliant.
Sure, but the license itself is almost identical. You can run it in VM though - on a Mac, if you own MacOS already.
Textbook NIMBYism. Just because you bought a place does not entitle you to having the surrounding vicinity stay in stasis until you leave.
Basic human rights are largely bulkshit to cover up the real motivation in the U.S. elsewhere,money.

Unbelievable many here buy into the quaint notion anyone cares about everyone having a roof over their head the own and can then pay rent through taxes.

If you want your veil of a lie that everyone gets a house they own you have to make it so, not whine about a reality you are way late to discover. Geez.
If companies can't own houses, and people can't own more than their primary residence, where should renters live?
Yes, a ton of new homes need to be built, but also a lot of the existing homes are empty. The US has a vacancy rate of somewhere near 10%.
Sorry, I missed that point about EV, I didn't expect OBD-Ii PIDs and EV in the same sentence.
You are discounting the "merit" of simply existing.

Bad software that solves my problem now is almost always going to beat great software that might eventually solve my problem.
Land is an asset. It needs to be a liability.

Virtually every other problem is either a distraction or an indirect consequence (e.g. NIMBYs, too much luxury housing) of this core issue.
Many if not most productive academics have such insane schedules. They’re not necessarily asocial. I think the important distinction is in what I’d call “bullshit socializing.” A lot of what regular people do in the name of socializing is probably not helping them in any way. Academics get trained to not need this to relax necessarily.

I did my PhD in a lab that demanded it: we were expected to put 6 days, 12 hours a day. It’s possible for maybe 30% of population maybe? Especially if you’re privileged and don’t have to worry about other things in life (like kids, parents, money, physical health, chronic issues, mental health, etc). So in some ways the ability to train and be able to adopt this more “productive” life is a bit exclusionary and even discriminatory. In the end I chose not to continue in academia primarily because of this demand, I just didn’t feel like it was worth it.

Now I’m in tech and I do get bored, but happy that I have the choice to set my hours.
Yes. The join via web button should join after you click the regular "join" link once. If you don't have zoom installed it will just pop up not working then you can join via web.

Author says 20 hours / week of research, but computer work counts as half was because they are not deep thoughts.

So for computational heavy research, this would mean 40 hours per week.

Taking the statement further, experimental research maybe counts as a quarter because debugging machinery is even less deep?

This would be eye opening and maybe explains why experimental phds are so much more brutal in terms of working hours than theory.
