IIRC in Alfred particular folders can be added, to be searched for apps. If this works separately from main search, it might help—you'll probably need to create a folder and dump symlinks to the apps in there.

Otherwise, apps can conceivably be added as keywords or something. Rather annoying since it won't pick up new apps automatically, but oh well. Myself, I prefer Alfred anyway since Spotlight doesn't do too much aside from launching apps, converting currencies and occasionally looking for files (the latter is not so useful when there are thousands of third-party code files on the machine, and Finder is not my IDE anyway).

P.S. Also btw, at least with Alfred, I don't need even a full word for most apps—just two to four letters: i.e. ‘fi’ is Firefox, and ‘do’ is Double Commander. Alfred quickly ranks results higher if they were invoked previously for the same input, so the desired app pops up in the results just after a few letters, and this behavior sticks around without perturbation from re-indexing. This also means that at first it pays to enter those couple letters and select the app with the arrow keys, since Alfred distinguishes between inputs of various length—i.e. might learn for ‘firefox’ but not for ‘fi’.

I hate this one so much. It felt like I got blindsided the first time it happened to me.
> Well more of Europe's Uranium comes from Russia than Germanys gas.

This is very misleading, comparing EU imports on one side and Germany on the other. The biggest uranium reserves are in Kazakhstan, Canada, and South Africa. At the moment, uranium used in Europe comes from Niger, Russia and Kazakhstan in about the same quantities (2500 tons each), followed by Canada (2300 tons) and Namibia (1600 tons).

Overall, Russian uranium is ~20% of EU imports. For gas it was ~40% (~20% for Germany), and for oil ~30%. Also, both oil and uranium are easily imported by boat, whereas gas was so cheap because of the pipelines. So, not really comparable overall.

Switching uranium suppliers costs nothing. Switching gas suppliers renders huge infrastructure investments worthless.

It has been obvious for quite a while that structural dependency on Russian gas was a huge strategic mistake. Doing without will be much more painful than not doing it in the first place.
>If the creatures could be physically transported to the courtroom for the hearing, then they usually were. This may sound utterly insane to our modern minds...

Of course, nowadays we're so much more advanced than these medieval bumpkins. We've figured out how to have court cases against animals without the hassle of physically placing them in the court room. Such was the case in the 1987 trial of US vs. 2,507 live canary winged parakeets (the parakeets lost, probably to the benefit of their species)

This works for most goods that people have to constantly buy new, but does not work in the housing market. The people that decide the zoning are the residents of the city. The residents of the city don't need to buy, so they don't care about the speculation price effect. In actuality, through price increases of the speculation, they are better off! So they vote for SFH zoning[0]. The warning is ignored.

If you introduce a land value tax equal to the value of the unimproved land, this will kill speculation, but also make it instantly impactful to the citizens that there is not enough supply. This will mean that the people able to change the zoning of the city will instantly see a reason to change the zoning, as better zoning means more supply means lower taxes.

We don't need no speculation.

This kind of reminds me of Dick Fuld's railing against "the shorts" in 2008. He was convinced that the market wasn't giving Lehman sufficient credit for its sub-prime portfolio, too. Based on accounts of the crisis, it's what derailed potential mergers and caused the bank to ultimately go under. In a world where 6-month Treasury bills yield 3% and junk bonds yield over 5% (JNK's SEC Yield is 7.22%[1]), I don't get why institutions would continue lending money to Affirm to make short-term loans to sub-prime consumers. Maybe they have a sufficient war-chest to withstand a few dry years. I don't know.

> “In a recession,” he said, “0% is very attractive.”

I'm really curious to see what happens when merchants balk at the fees required to offer those rates. A combination of late payments (disqualifying some existing customers) and higher rates (turning off new customers) seems dangerous for companies like Affirm.

I have yet to hear an approach to this that isn't terribly inhumane.

Agreed that the end result sounds like a positive one (on just environmental terms), but there's a tremendous amount of complexity and unintended consequences involved.

My country alone is already below the rate of replacement. Questions quickly arise around who gets to decide who the people are that are allowed to breed. I can't think of a more contentious subject. It's also such an invasion of personal freedom. I don't have answers here, but this is an incredibly hard thing to do at all (outside of China), and it's not clear it can be done ethically at all.
I could be mistaken but I believe PEX has been the dominant type of pipe used in new water systems over the last 15 years or so. There’s not really any plumbers tape involved with the various types of fittings that are used with those pipes.

For years, I have refused to install zoom, webex etc clients for exactly this reason. Their installer wants admin user access for no apparent reason. They could have given a simple drag and drop installation app. Instead they want to run an installer with root user permissions to do whatever. Also, I hate apps that installs a helper background program, and doesn't let me disable it via preferences. I refuse to use those too.

Besides, for what zoom does, why do they need an app? Browser has all the capabilities they need.

I imagine the number of people who work on a chip is the biggest contributor to carbon use.

Each employee drives to work, lives in a house, etc. less employees means less carbon emissions overall.
This is dangerous advice, it really depends on what you're tired from and you can't apply it generally.

Eg tiredness caused by actual, diagnosed, Long Covid often does go away with more rest. In fact, even a tiny bit too much, too soon, can severely set back your recovery. To my understanding, parent's "just will yourself back into shape" advice is the exact opposite of what long covid patients should be told.

If only there had been solutions to heating and cooling, or ride comfort. Sadly, we as a species never got around to inventing heat pumps, springs, or cushioned seating. LOL.

Cars were popular post war, so were suburbs. But surely GM had no incentive to make them so.

No - you need to boot the system into the recovery mode so you would need the exploit to be working in that mode.
Loyalty programs also cost money in the form of the free stuff you give away as benefits. For a company that perennially has trouble turning a profit on razor-slim (and most often negative) margins, this would be a problem.

There's also a question of if the retention ability of the loyalty program outweighs of the cost of benefits you're giving out.

Additionally the shape of the business matters. For some industries (see: hotels, airlines) a lot of the benefits are in the form of things they would've lost money on anyway if they didn't give to the loyal customer. Upgrading room at check-in? That room was pretty much guaranteed to go empty that night anyway. Upgrading airplane seat 24h before departure? That seat was pretty much guaranteed to go empty if they didn't. So the opportunity cost of giving the user the reward is ~zero-ish. This is definitely not true for Uber, where free rides = lost money.

The thing with Blockchain scams (shitcoins), is that it feels like the creators of these coins often really believe they are going to be providing a useful service, a new innovation better than traditional financial services, better than Bitcoin. But they just don't think it all the way through. It's hard to think it all the way through!

But don't get me wrong, there are also most definitely some outright scams in the crypto world too.

This is why I prefer the projects, at least the small ones, don't try to maintain a domain of their own. Sooner or later the domain will not be renewed, by mistake, loss of interest in maintaining infrastructure, or because the domain holder passes away, etc.

I'm worried Russia will cause an "accident" at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine in order to make nuclear less popular with the EU public, and keep the EU dependant on oil.

Out of interest, why do tantalums get used so much over ceramics (or electrolytics even) for bulk decoupling? DC bias can be a pain I know, but I always thought of ceramics as cheaper / less fiery alternatives.
> as well as all the Sherlock Holmes stories (three volumes)

You may be interested to know Stephen Fry has done a 71 hour recording of all the Sherlock Holmes. He has an excellent voice for audiobooks.

The whole thing is a single item so if you're on Audible (for example) it's just one credit. And in a similar way to the ITV Jeremy Brett TV versions of Holmes, you get the whole canon of work with the same artistic vision.
No, see for example the Asse II mine, where taxpayers must pay for relocating nuclear waste since the operator no longer exists as a going concern.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asse_II_mine

As far as I have been able to determine this is in fact how nuclear power is run in most of the world. Nuclear power is heavily subsidized by borrowing money from future generations.
We are currently entering that future, as for example France has noticed recently. According to recent news stories their operator is 40 bn in debt and needs to make 50bn more in investments to keep plants running, meaning it has charged at least 110 bn too little for the power it sold in decades past.

One of the major downsides of nuclear power is that whenever the nuclear operator runs out of money, taxpayers absolutely have to pay, there is no option not to. From a cynical financial perspective this effectively means nuclear power has limitless credit and can sell power for fantasy pricing, way less than it actually costs.

So to the GP's point, if nuclear had to pay the actual, future costs of the energy it provides today, and it was baked in to the price per kWh it sells on the open market, we'd be better informed about the correct course of action.
This is because you are not living in one. A significant part of Ukrainian (para)military logistics now runs on crypto.
> the hostile, anti-intellectual "us good, chemists bad" vibe with which you say it.

I personally didn't get that from the parent comment. It's just really weird (from an outsider/alien perspective) that in many sectors of the corporate mafia like in the chemical/IT industry obvious and sometimes intentional malicious schemes (which result in actual deaths) are either rewarded or ignored... when in many other branches harmless errors can get you kicked from your job (eg. in restaurants/shops).

It's not contempt to point that out. If you believe in the idea that there should be a social contract by which we are bound, the social contract must apply to everyone fairly. So why does it often not apply to cops, judges, landlords and some sectors of the engineering community?

> There's chemists who make the world better and chemists who make the world worse, like with every other profession.

True, but like in every other profession, it's very hard to make money if you're really trying to make the world better, and i do mean any money (as in find a job at all).
SIP is System Integrity Protection

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection
In my understanding from having read the literature over time, the RNA vaccine was, as far as I can tell at least, sloppy thinking. Someone thought that setting up a permanent factory in the body for spike proteins was a bright idea. Suddenly the virus evolves (as we knew they do rapidly and constantly) and now people who got the original vaccine are apparently having worse immune responses because the body is trained on the wrong thing and still making classic spike proteins. Plus, you don't want the spike protein in your body anyway as apparently that's not a great thing to have around?

Disclosure: I am vaccinated, for what it's worth, with the Novavax (Nuvaxovid), which is in my understanding just a one time dose of spike proteins and an adjuvant, to train the body to fight the virus.

I may have a wrong understanding, but, if I'm right, I'm honestly puzzled why people ever thought the RNA vaccines were worth the time because it doesn't seem like the right mechanism to choose.

-edit-
If I am wrong on those points, I would appreciate links to literature clarifying them. I'm not advocating an anti-vaccination position.
They're virtually all playing the capitalist game, slapping "communist" in your country/government name isn't enough
I have schizotypal personality disorder. For me it feels like a collective, kind of like the borg. I say "me" or "I" when communicating externally, but all thoughts are actually communicated as "us". All entities speak with the same voice (what most people think of as their inside voice), but each one speaks differently, with a different pace/tone, and has its own personality, thoughts, and desires. There are a handful of dominant ones that sit in the captain's chair so to speak, and they all have a say in how we behave externally.

For example one of us is a pacifist, another one loves to socialize and party, one is cautious and anxious, the other very confident, and there's one that has a severe thirst for violence and blood-lust (this one we work hard to keep in check). I've literally been in fights where immediately after knocking my opponent down, I ask if they're ok and then help them back up and let them go. Then there's hundreds of transient entities that are usually clones of personalities observed elsewhere (movie characters, celebrities, or other influential people). These transient types will actually adopt the mannerisms, voice, and even accent of the personalities and display them outwardly! Makes for very weird interactions with family and friends lol.

I've yet to see anyone on reddit or elsewhere with this description of the disorder. The closest thing is DID or maybe even borderline personality disorder (which is on the same schizo spectrum), but there's no disassociation with what I have, we're all fully aware of what the other is thinking.

EDIT: added further clarifications on the differing voices
We already have too many people who won't get life-saving vaccines that will protect others because of "chemicals", and that was before covid.
Sure, but if your chemical can enter the hydrosphere and never break down, we should maybe study it for a long long long time before applying it to everything.
> This is a noble savage error.

You said that last time ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31224977 ) I promise I'm not fantasizing about magic elves. :) However, it's clear that Native American lifestyles were preferable to European-American lifestyles. Graeber and Wengrow in "The Dawn of Everything" quote at length a letter from Ben Franklin on the subject:

> When an Indian Child has been brought up among us, taught our language and habituated to our Customs, yet if he goes to see his relations and make one Indian Ramble with them there is no persuading him ever to return, and that this is not natural merely as Indians, but as men, is plain from this, that when white persons of either sex have been taken prisoner young by the Indians, and lived awhile among them, tho’ ransomed by their Friends, and treated with all imaginable tenderness to prevail with them to stay among the English, yet in a Short time they become disgusted with our manner of life, and the care and pains that are necessary to support it, and take the first opportunity of escaping again into the Woods, from whence there is no reclaiming them. One instance I remember to have heard, where the person was to be brought home to possess a good Estate; but finding some care necessary to keep it together, he relinquished it to a younger brother, reserving to himself nothing but a gun and match-Coat, with which he took his way again to the Wilderness.

Anyway...

> Shelter was still a valued commodity and not guaranteed human right. Tribes fought over land, and dwellings required labor.

Sure, but there weren't homeless people. I mean a fire, flood, or enemy attack might leave people destitute, but there wasn't a perpetual destitute class, eh? Dwellings didn't require a lot of labor.

> They often had many people to a dwelling because of this specifically.

Are you sure? I am not an anthropologist (nor a Native American for that matter) but my impression is that that would have had more to do with family structure?

- - - -

Really the point I'm making isn't specific to the New World, it was common all over the world for people to build their own houses. In economic terms it wasn't very expensive to build a new dwelling.

> If you wanted to build an igloo or adobe building today, the land is cheap as are the materials. No one is interested in doing this exactly because the conditions would be considered economic destitution.

A lot of places won't let you build and live in an igloo or adobe building today.

But I'm not really advocating that. There are modern low-embodied-energy and high efficacy home designs (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthship ) that would be much more comfortable for the modern sensibilities. Imagine if a modern home could be had for $10k instead of $100K ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_house )?
By the way, although the "secret Japanese techniques" aspect of this is a little overblown (little here is really that interesting), there is at least one reason for this to be highlighted at all. Given that forks and knives are not the common utensils of the north* Asian dining table, most things are pre-cut for consumption. If you ever encounter steak/pork/katsu chops, etc. at a restaurant, you will find that they are all pre-cut for you to be able to consume in bite sized pieces. You'll never get a whole slab of chicken breast or pork chop for you to dissect with chopsticks.

I didn’t get COVID till this year. I was vaccinated, and while it was the most sick I’ve felt in years, it was relatively short, the worst symptoms only lasting about a day.

A few day’s afterwards, I went out to the mailbox to grab my mail. This is maybe a 5min walk. I was panting heavily by the time I got back. I used to walk 12+ miles a day in shit heat and I’ve never been particularly in shape, so that was worrying.

I haven’t noticed any increase in my tiredness, but my sleep schedule had been fucked long before COVID existed.
I don’t. Mass exploitation of such planes would be a problem, but a few high-powered rockets would be extremely useful and safe enough. Nuclear is just another technology.
