If your UK landlady were to visit [Asia?], the locals—if asked by another local—would say that she smells “sour”[?] IIRC.

And the thing is, she does! There is a genetic expression the yields the difference between wet:dry::European:Asian populations and it also affects our other excretion glands!

https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/body-odor-asia... (just after the graphs, near the end)

One becomes desensitized to the local fragrance ps over time. When everyone/everything stinks, no locals really smell it.

Ask a horsie person if the barns stink. At best they’ll agree it has a smell.

Interestingly, I encountered a new-to-me “white peoples smell of dogs” rumour. The discussion lends credence to the idea that genetically distinctive populations have different body odours.

Edit: mostly diet differences, I think, which also tracks closely with the gene discussed in the first link.
Technically the current US one is the second.
That’s not the point (disclaimer: I love nuclear power), the point is this let’s them Supplement rapid energy demand /spikes/ over the span of literally seconds vs ramping up generation from other sources which are all slower as well as generally being further from where it needs to be at that moment. This allows them to readily absorb spikes happening randomly around the grid in an easier manner
Well, a part of it is that at least VSC's Vim extension is rubbish and is unusable if you don't use the defaults.

Yes, I have considered just patching whatever I need for my own keybinds, but I decided I was just more comfortable sticking with neovim.

Another part is that VSC has annoying input lag
IMHO math notation is ugly AF, and music notation was something I hated so much as a teen I almost abandoned my budding professional music career because of it. (Thankfully I found a great niche in early European folk music.) So basically you're right. ;-P
> They would do the same with housing, if they weren't already conditioned not to.

That's a pretty unrealistic comparison, housing doesn't hold its value (or go up) because people are conditioned, there are real reasons.

There is an effectively infinite supply of new cars, as factories can much more easily ramp up production if there's more demand. (Sure, recent supply chain issues have made that problematic, but in normal times.)

Second, cars do inherently depreciate faster. A ten year old house is basically brand new whereas a ten year old car is probably mechanically sound but cosmetically often looking its age and a lot of people like new and shiny.
If we’re pondering about how to run a restaurant, I think that’s a complicated and nuanced discussion that will have different ins and out depending on what restaurant, where, serving who.

For instance a lot of lunch focused restaurants won’t serve much alcohol if at all. High volume low check size restaurants also abound. Do we also call cafes “restaurant” if they serve hot food at the table ? etc.

A tourism oriented restaurant will go so far as to accept American Express and swallow the fees, while a local restaurant can refuse anything other than cash and the local prepaid card, it really varies a lot.

PS: we might be missing context on if we’re only taking USA, as the article is about that, or on more global range, which I think is more interesting on the Visa/Mastercad discussion.

Dealing with cash isn’t exactly free. You have to worry about employee theft, robberies, etc.

If I owned a business, I wouldn’t accept cash at all.

And no, it’s not a federal law that you have to accept cash except in service of debt.

Thats such a cop-out, the US doesn't respect the one china policy any differently to the EU. And no one is threatening China in anyone shape or form. Your argument holds as much weight as Russia using NATO as an excuse.

For most levels of sick I've witnessed in people's old age, I'd far rather be sick than dead.

And people who claim to want to die before they're very sick in their old age seem usually to falsify the claim when they later reach that threshold.

> Every dollar that crosses a payments platform has a non-zero chance of creating some combination of legal, regulatory and customer-service costs. Frictionless transactions are as real world as their physics counterpart.

Yes, but pretty much all of those costs are a factor of the originating individual transactions. In reality net settlement is just one additional transaction where things can go wrong.

Again, I'm no fan of crypto (WRT how it's currently used, scams, etc), but there is no reason a permissioned blockchain couldn't do millions of transactions a second, all with real-time settlement, at a cost lower than batch processing.
Frankly, yes, we can, even if you choose to believe this nonsense statistic.

Approximately 2 people per million per week dying "from covid" (which actually means dying of any cause within 28 days of a positive test) is actually an entirely sustainable result.

Even if you pretended that all of those people actually died from covid, you're talking about 1 in 600 people dying of covid at some point in their lives (assuming 15k per week forever). Once you adjust for the fact that everybody going into a hospital gets a test, and then, if it is positive and they die [of whatever brought them to the hospital to begin with], they count as a "covid death", and you really just have a negligible risk.

It is perhaps an ego thing but still. Pretty sad.
I applied with the same criteria, and it took about a month to be accepted.
15k deaths a week is 780,000 deaths a year. The Global death rate over the last 70 years has hovered around 50-55 million a year [0], which puts this particular death rate around a 1.5% of global deaths. Frankly, at 7.7 Billion people on this planet and a birth rate that is over double the annual death rate, 15k additional deaths a week is the proverbial pocket change.

It’s a non trivial capital investment to outfit your home like this. I also wonder if the aggregate cost of decentralizing production far exceeds centralized production and distribution. Regardless I struggle to imagine a world where a family living paycheck to paycheck as is lays out tens of thousands of dollars to produce their own off grid power.

Now, once Mr Fusion is available it’s a different ball game.
I can hire a person here (UK) to do something for £x/hour or £y/unit. I can perhaps hire a person in say Vietnam to do something for £x/n/hour etc.

I don't do this personally but we should explore the possibilities.

The thing about capitalism is it is capitalism. You should drive costs down and profits up. Ideally you don't kill people on the "journey" but hey that's what laws n that jud, errr judiciary ... ... cops/police thing is all about or something.

I own a very small company in the UK. We don't go full on capitalism (whatever that monster really is) We strive to be able to sleep at night.
PS: I decided to go write up how I just use the same IPs everywhere with OpenVPN.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u9mGu7bv5JYL_Fvv0L7OX4_1...

Thanks @riidom! Good times. Hope you'll come back to the Lua world ;).
Welcome to humanity where everyone is inconsistent. It's part of the fallibility of humans.
How about we start with:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Vatican City

They all use the same system, namely SEPA Direct Debit. It has only been around for 13 years or so. The Stripe website has a decent introduction: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/sepa-debit

So yeah, as a Dutch person all of my subscriptions use this. In fact, I get a bit annoyed when someone does not offer it, because I do not own a credit card.
But you're not taking all that stuff (plus the research) so you can be the one with the most knowledge about mortality in the bar, so what's the real reason? Obviously you mentioned it, to extend healthspan/lifespan.

Or maybe you do want to feel superior to others, heck I know that's a motivator for some of my actions.
Every study shows that consumers are willing to spend more on a credit card than when they are using cash. Taxi cabs drivers for instance were against being forced to use credit cards until they realized they got larger tips.
Nice, first time learn this, thanks!
You're missing a very important aspect: demographics.

In several nations, we're in a unique moment in time as the majority of the population is old-ish. Old people are conservative in that they're looking for the exit, they've worked longer (more time to save/invest) and they've benefited from favorable macro conditions.

So you might as well say the opposite: a lot (most) wealth is locked up in an enormous group of people (the majority), so not in a tiny group of people.

On top of that, yes, there's also a small group of super rich.

The other aspect you didn't mention is globalization. The former middle class is now the lower class. The "mail man" in the 60s that could own a home and run a family on unskilled labor no longer exists, nor will it return.
The "brain" to which it refers (on x64 machines) basically is an iOS device (running a variant called bridgeOS) on an ARM coprocessor (T2) inside your computer. Same secure boot, same TSS signatures, etc.

It has to update two OSes now, not just one.
Wouldn't currently available nukes take way too long to ramp up and down for this use case?
Not just the rich world, here in the third world it is the same.

Housing insecurity drains people's life energy. People can't take risks, learn new things, etc. The smallest mistake has them living on the streets. Hundreds of millions of potential scientists, artists, etc. that we loose because they can't afford giving up their minimum wage job and face homelessnes.

The article seems to be focused on politics, but I think it is not a political problem, it's a philosophical one, or even moral.

Speculating with housing should be seen as badly as speculating with water, too basic of a thing to play with, I'm not sure people that haven't experienced housing insecurity understand this.
Manufacturing for export with Western companies was central to China's rise - same goes for Korea, Japan, and Taiwan - but there was more to it than comparative advantage/labor arbitrage. There was a lot of heavy-handed government action: land reform dispossessing wealthy families, aggressive/protectionist state financing, etc.
Generally true but a thousand of Japanese live in massive snowy area so it could be more problem. Still IMO black is the worst color for visibility because night is come everyday in every location.
I think there’s a “noise gate” on the dupe detector…by which I mean it is more likely to trigger the more traction a story previously received.

Except there also seems to be an “LRU cache” to the dupe detector as well, so after some period of time stories aren’t considered duplicates at all. That is to say, that they are treated as evergreen.

Of course this is entirely speculative, but it is no longer like the hard dupe detection of the old days.

This was (still is?) a well known problem for supercomputing facilities. Any given job has every single node access a shared r/w directory which python searches for imports. I believe python opens (opened?) Imports r/w and this created a transactional 2PC action for each node, so you get thousands of nodes blocking on the filesystem,a test run that could be a few seconds could take hours to actually spin up
Sure but those are relatively few events (though large in magnitude) compared to stuff that was going on in europe/asia. And americas are fucking huge compared to europe and coastal east asia.

> The fact the US runs 50 independent elections is an interesting double edged sword as a Canadian observer.

I personally wouldn't say 50 -- more like 3,000 independent elections. Each county is arguably its own election. They get funding and voting machines from the state, but personnel and operations of the county are run locally and often reflect the population of that area.

> A Secretary of State in any of Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, or Michigan potentially has the power to throw the next election into chaos.

This is true, although I think they'd have some difficulty doing it out in the open. We'll have to see.
Freaking hilarious. It astounds me how advanced, yet also archaic the US is.

> Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading.

This is an unprovoked war of aggression. The mental gymnastics in this paragraph is astonishing. By this logic, Hitler's invasion of Bohemia and Moravia were also defense wars, because it happened right at Hitler's border.

There is/was no conspiracy or threat to the existence of the Russian state. Nobody truly gives a fuck about Russia, as long as they keep the gas lines open and they don't use nerve agents to kill their dissidents abroad. Nobody wants to invade or nuke Russia, most westerners don't even think about Russia.
Important to have some perspective on scale, though. All powerwalls acting together can source 125MW, max. Yesterday, grid-scale batteries in California discharged a peak 2751MW. The powerwall tricks are cool, but I’m not sure it solves a problem the ISO actually faces.
A few thoughts:

-I knew someone who wanted to set up optical and circuit board manufacturing in Vietnam - the few factories they toured seemed to be set up very well. Also frequently with better female/male ratios in management levels (perhaps bc, at least what they were told, Vietnamese culture tends to be more matriarchal than elsewhere). Maybe why also a lot of Japanese electronic makers (Pentax, Nikon) had a bigger presence in Vietnam than expected

-the irony of Western manufacturing and standards of living - (coupled w/ strong policy and incentive support from the ccp) is that Xi Jinping seems to be actively going against perhaps one of the greatest economic partnership of recent times, namely USA/China. I think that is why there is likely going to be a contraction in the Chinese economy, if not already happen due to Zero Covid. If anything brings down the emperor/dynasty this time, it is because the grain ceases to flow (at least borrowing a phrase from an undergraduate Chinese history class...)

My wife's new car, to many screens. My old car, buttons I can touch from memory without looking. The worst part about her car, you can customize the screen in front of the driver but not really. 3 items on the screen - circular thing, status thing, circular thing. There are a total of ~12 versions of the stuff in the circular thing. The information in circular things would work just fine on either side. However for some reason they spilt it 6+6. You want item from right circle to be on left side, nope! There is no reason why. It is a flat display (ie, on flat screen, not 3 screens) and it is just software. No reason for this. It is a display.

if i write a window manager, its source does not primarily function as some indication that i am on the right track to competently wrangling the x11 protocol, unless i am trying to impress a headhunter from red hat. it is, in fact, primarily meant to produce a program that competently wrangles the x11 protocol. making the code clean and sensible is akin to the courtesy demonstrated by not rendering the blueprints to an air conditioner in chicken scratch with a crayon, and ensuring that part sheets are easy to follow to the assembly

The US credit card system is also the reason we still have magstripes and all the fraud that goes along with it because chip & pin is still not everywhere there. Not to mention making payments available using nothing but info printed on the actual card being a very bad idea.
