the irony is that success is often more from good luck/timing, connections then it is with motivation. motivations helps a lot but it's not a guarantee.

i feel to succeed in life you need to be somewhere in middle between totally lawful good and pure evil, more towards the evil side. if you're too far to either end you will struggle.
Some thoughts:

Actively blocking cell phone signals might be illegal depending on your country - but building a faraday cage isn't.

Given how much of your identity a phone has become, and how easily someone could take my identity over if they had access to my device, only death or threat of deadly force will separate me from mine. If you want to go for the "handing in" approach, maybe small lockers are ok (especially so if they are padlock-operated and I bring my own padlock). Bonus points for being able to charge the battery in these (Like the phone charging boxes often present at airports)

In Europe, there are several places that offer "connectionfree vacations", often in remote valleys, often in monasteries (sometimes run by clergy, sometimes not) with thick walls.

Such a "cell" would be best if it not only had a desk, but also something more comfortable, like a couch. Bonus points for the ability to get cold and/or hot beverages on-site.

I'd pay a monthly membership fee of around 50 Euros for this.

Value and market value are two different things.
I don't know any roofers, but I know many people from others crafts, including my own; and sorry, but no, people trying to pay with exposure or something cheap like a beer or cookies are everywhere, in most trades.

Labor is undervalued all the time, especially if someone has no experience with it and does not understand the amount of time necessary for getting something done. And if you are young and starting your business, they try to exploit you even more. This is not limited to art. And Internet just intensified this, as now you have not only the cheapskates from your neighborhood, but of the whole world. Though, with art there is also the part that some people are not seeing it as a real job, but only as a hobby or something you do for our own enjoyment. So they are even more willing to undervalue it.
We don't want to leave but you can bet american companies have it easy fishing here. It's increasingly common for american companies to set small teams around here.

The only problem american companies have is dealing with the workers rights around here.
I have always been bothered by the relationship between "art, the human creative endeavour" and "art, the business".

On one hand the business has allowed artists to improve and grow by allowing them to spend their time on their art (instead of working on something else for at least 8 hours per day so they could eat, producing less art and of less quality)

On the other hand, the fact that artists depends on their art doing well finantially in order to sustain themselves must have conditioned their output. The link between "art that sells well" and "art that is actually good" is ... unproven, at best.

This could be an apocalypse, but it could be a good thing as well. Perhaps we do need art that isn't "businessy".
You do realize that Netflix uses FreeBSD, right? That a good chunk of NAS builds, diy or not, use FreeBSD? That high performance network solutions often use FreeBSD because of what is commonly seen as a better/more mature network stack?

Having a smaller user base than the world's most used kernel (Linux) doesn't mean it has a small user base in absolute terms. And being a smaller kernel in lines of code is certainly a positive thing.

This pattern repeats, with OS's smaller than FreeBSD having good reason to be chosen in production.

Fun fact: Apple used NetBSD on their Airport product series.
For Gvim my go to is Inconsolata font with white background. Similar case with the console.

Dark mode for some reason is very difficult for me and gives me a headache after sometime or makes my head heavy. It is strange because previously I used to use dark mode without any issues and was preferred. Later I switched to lighter/white background with dark foreground.

> ... they will almost never be able to build a software driven car, which is the car of the future.

Software can make a lot of things better, but for whatever reason most cars end up with closed software solutions with a limited amount of updates, problems with how responsive/inefficient they are and a plethora of other complications. At that point, slapping an Android tablet on the dash for navigation might be a better idea, since at least that can be changed out or customized with relatively few issues, versus being stuck with a flawed built in system that's a black box as far as you're concerned.

Alas, why even pay for that? Why not have a car with a simple dash, less electronics and simply mounts for you to bring your own. Of course, that's not the direction in which the industry seems to be headed.

Now, this might be a silly comparison, but I can't help but to think of comparing a simple soviet tractor (say, a T-25 https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/T-25?_x_tr_sl... ) which is simple to use and repair, to something like a modern John Deere. Perhaps that's one of the better examples, where the more complex design ends up rather expensive, even if you don't need all of the features. But the former, simpler design? Well, somehow ones like that aren't manufactured much nowadays.

Surely in regards to cars it should also be possible to pick the essentials (e.g. in regards to safety and security) and then offer plenty of different models, with varying different levels of technology embedded. Then again, it's easier to pump up the price if you cram more features in even in the basic models. Of course, it's not like that would be okay if those closed systems were to be replaced with open source either - since that might be a serious safety liability.
Data from the past few days we do have a legitimate interest in; protecting our network. If someone is spamming us we need to be able to find out who did it and the only way to do that is deanonymized logs to begin with. Atleast in my workplace we have worked with the DPA to ensure that we are in compliance and there is no issue in keeping around 7 days of IP logs without further anonymization. All or long term logs are hashed below the bit minimum, and that can't be paired with old request data as easily since we strip all but major version identifiers from User Agents, for example.

There are centers in India where many people pay for a very very similar concept. They are called "Vipassana" centers ( people are not allowed to talk also ). The whole idea is to detox ( no internet / mobile / even talking ), people collectively do Yoga, and eat/drink all natural food for a couple of days.
From Wikipedia:

> Today, FreeBSD is used by many IT companies such as IBM, Nokia, Juniper Networks, and NetApp to build their products.[16][17] Certain parts of Apple's Mac OS X operating system are based on FreeBSD.[18] Both the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch operating system also borrow certain components from FreeBSD,[7][8] while the PlayStation 4 operating system is derived from FreeBSD 9.[19] Netflix,[20] WhatsApp,[21] and FlightAware[22] are also examples of large, successful and heavily network-oriented companies which are running FreeBSD.

Mike Israetel is very vocal and open about both his own PED use and its health risks, and how taking them is a very bad idea for 99.9% of people. That does not make his content about exercising and nutrition for general health any less superb.

Steroids a fact of life in strength sports and not even really considered cheating, as long as you compete in "untested" divisions. Training for a top-level competition is not the same as exercising for health, even if you don't take PEDs. The people doing it consider it an acceptable tradeoff.
>So your problem statements are good but the "slope of the line" to open warfare over charging ports is possibly 5+ years off.

If it was a poc they just lost the ability to build the real attack by being way too noticeable. This issue has likely already been mitigated and will be patched up within days if not hours. Much more likely to be an honest mistake.
Live-in servants are very uncommon and maybe only the ultra rich have them. What is common is to have someone come everyday for an hour or so to do chores like cleaning, cooking.
In more traditional units:

Prometheus can turn 77kwh of electrcity into 1 gallon of fuel.

Jet plane with range of about 7000km has 52000 gallons so roughly

4GWh of electrical energy in to make the fuel, about half of which is lost as heat and the other half moves the plane.

So the real question is, do you have a better use for that 4GWh of electrical energy? (Or more generally, and back to car size would you prefer 77Kwh of electricity or a gallon of fuel?)

Carbon free electricity so cheap that you can make carbon containing fuels for less than fossil fuels is like a very heavy carbon tax in impact. Yes you can do whatever you like with the fuels, but since you pay directly for it, the market will respond by finding cheaper and more efficient ways to do the same thing, using the electricity directly or as a cheaper to convert fuel.

Their pitch kind of makes sense for long distance flight, but unless it's a classic car that you only drive once a year, this fuel will have the exact same impact as a heavy carbon tax on the market for motor vehicles i.e. they'll be scrapped and replaced with EVs that are cheaper and cleaner to run.

I've had more luck printing from Linux than any other operating system, funnily enough. It just seems to work, no 3GB of driver software or manual browsing for INF files required. The UI is a bit clunky when you want to configure advanced settings but it's no worse than your average HP driver in my opinion.

My experiments with macOS actually had the same problems you list, though I haven't tried printing more than once. MacOS comes with ancient Unix tools and you end up downloading half a Linux install over Brew when you try to compile stuff, and now you have added an external package manager you need to deal with to as system that doesn't really support one.

Mg experience with package managers is that if you ignore the warnings (adding --force to overrule errors, adding external repositories that replace system libraries or aren't maintained, mess with config files to override same defaults, mix package managers (apt+global pip = hell)) you won't see them break themselves. I've broken Windows installs by messing with my system in similar ways, though there never seems to be a solution when this happens other than a reinstall. Trouble mostly comes from outdated, misguided guides found on Google that'll ignore any best practices for your opersting system and set things up Their Way, turning your install into a ticking time bomb when the writers have long had to reinstall their operating system without ever updating their guides.

All operating systems I've tried are bad in their own way. Windows worked great until 8 came out. MacOS works well enough if you don't mind Apple's control/decisions/limitations and accept the risk of buying a faulty device that the company will deny all the way up to class lawsuit settlements. Linux works well if you're lucky with your hardware. The BSDs work well if you don't plan on doing all that many things the OS isn't equipped to do out of the box and if you don't have any weird hardware.

A carbon tax by itself just passes the problem on to people who can't do anything about it.

You need to include programs to help migrate people off their carbon dependency.

The people who would be most affected by a carbon tax are also the people who have the least amount of resources to do anything about it.

> I've never met a manager that has expectations for email replies on weekends or frankly <24hr replies during the working week.

You have clearly never worked at Amazon.com. That has been my experience: there for 6 years, AWS, 2008-2014. I've met SEVERAL, not just managers, but colleagues, who had these expectations. Mind you, this is a pre-Slack era. Not sure if today things are different because of corporate chatrooms.
I understand your fear, especially because a very similar, if not the same, thing happened with Unity, where our allowed the creation of just what you're talking about a massive amount of low to mid quality games.

> The vast majority of commercial illustrations is just beautiful/cool looking characters or landscapes, focusing purely on looking pretty rather than some deep meaning behind it.

Most commercial illustrations (esp commisioned by companies/institutions) are mostly created to evoke a longing for consummerism (eg lifestyle advertisments), and it is often mindless. People's interests are in the feeling they are promised the thing would give them, and often not the thing itself. Or, at worst, as a stress-coping mechanism that has direct and grim consequences. eg America's sugar addiction (which are implanted into the population at young age when they are most vulnerable.)

These are not arts. They are Machiavellian traps for the mind.

Arts, in the simplest defintions, are just things one makes to express a certain feeling/thought/sentiment/etc. A piece of art is good when it can connect/resonate with you. It's a human connection thing. Tech would be an enabler for more novelties. But the story has always been there. A story about mankind.
The moon also offers a way to develop self-sustainability. When you've got "oops I forgot the ketchup" it's only 2 days away, not years. Far more people will be willing to spend a few weeks on the moon than several years to Mars.

If fuel and machinery can be made on the moon, with its lower gravity well, it becomes far more practical to build big ships to go to Mars and elsewhere.
Ask HN: Is WWIII already in its early stages?
With Russia invading Ukraine & China preparing to invade Taiwan, I can't help but wonder.

In the 2010's, many people told me 'WWIII will never happen, the world is too interdependent'.

When I look at the world unfold in the 2020's, it seems very few people accounted for how much corruption, economics, social media, propaganda, etc. would factor into geopolitics.

At this point, to me, another global conflict with massive consequences seems inevitable. There is just enough desperation, social unrest, government corruption, and resource depletion to trigger survival instincts on the largest scale.

Just like individuals have a drive for self-preservation, nations do too. Wars happen when two or nation's drive for self-preservation collide. It seems Russia, China, and North Korea have already aligned while the US/EU have aligned, not sure where India stands. The US has warships moving in the South China Sea, China sees that as an act of escalation. Winter is coming in the EU with Russia withholding energy. TikTok is spying on the all it's users and Russia interfered in US elections...

I'm just curious to hear what others think/feel. I'm open to any perspective, none of us are prepared for what's ahead for better or for worse. I'm hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.
Depends on whom you ask.

Even just speculating about a peg substantially below the current exchange rate sounds like a great way to send your exchange rate downwards.

And low exchange rates only help with exports if you have an export industry (tourism reacts to a lot more factors than just prices - the instability coming from a currency crisis may not help, eg). And higher prices for imports don't help with industrial development. Countries rich in natural resources face a different set of problems, which is why I excluded them in the first post.

Windows upgrades go so smoothly they've been repackaged as updates. They're also highly fault resistant by default with automated rollbacks out of the box.

I'm not saying Pop is bad, but Windows upgrades are super easy and user friendly (if you ignore the privacy risks that come with using Windows). I wish common Linux distros would pack something like system restore by default already! I know these tools (based on BTRFS/ZFS snapshots) exist and work great, but they need to be set up manually and most people won't.
Its not exactly on-topic, but i had an odd idea last night:

Surface mining (like for coal) pits are often filled with water after use. Would turning them into a dead zone/a bog be sensible to sequester carbon? Could we do the same to larger seas? This could also create peat or brown coal for future generations.

Is that a bad idea? And why?

There's nothing unsafe with having lots of acceleration at your disposal if you use it appropriately and responsibly. In fact in some situations it's safer to have that acceleration.

Let's not continue regulating things that are fun and/or useful just because some people might misuse them.

It probably wouldn't really make much difference in the real world. How many crashes that resulted in serious injury actually happened only because the car could do 3 seconds 0-60, and if the car was only able to do 0-60 in 7 seconds, the crash wouldn't have occurred?

I know there's lots of videos of people driving Lambos for the first time and immediately crashing after spinning or something. But even in those cases, it's almost always low speed crashes with nobody getting hurt.

You are right, that's not a technical problem and Bitcoin is not a technical solution either — that's a social game of "let's make ourselves some new money without built-in constraints".

Then you would need to add some constraints over it for security, but the key difference would be that it's an open market: you can invent one solution, I can invent another and people will be free to choose between them or nothing at all.

When your money comes with some regulatory framework built-in, there is no much room for any choices in that respect and more temptation for all kinds of bureaucrats to abuse their power.
