I feel the disorientation part. To me it's a combination of bad ux, bad server organization and featureitis. I dont think it was ever intended to be orientable. I use Discord similarly to FB groups - only when I have to and even that infrequently. Fortunately chat apps gain and loose popularity at light speed so hopefully next-gen makes for a better user experience.
I agree. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve got a coworker who’s profile pick is Earthworm Jim, and I don’t ever picture him talking as such.
Not my project, but embedding the part in a plug of epoxy would make it easier to handle.
I think the key here is that by putting it to paper (so to speak), you linearize and structure the problem and all it angles in a way that are conducive to methodically advancing your understanding.

This is devastating to read and see the videos. Hindsight is 20/20 and I don't believe it really helps to mention that Pakistan should've done x or y to prevent this. They are experiencing this now, and I'm not sure what the best course of action is for them. All I can think about is how my family went through a flood when I was young and how devastated they were, especially at losing countless pictures. I'm sure countless Pakistanis have lost a lot through this. I hope world leaders will step up and help Pakistan minimize the damage and create a plan with appropriate funding.

Employees can get a pay raise or a monthly extra bonus for doing an above average job, without being promoted. I have seen engineers making the same amount of money or even more than their managers.

But I recommend to ask the individual what he/she would prefer. Some really want the responsibility and are happy to help others doing a better job, and some others prefer to get regularly monetary recognition because they do a great job without a permanent pay raise.

Would a person in a doomsday cult know that they're in a doomsday cult? not to question your beliefs, but just to add a little perspective. Every culture had an end of the world prophecy. Yet the world persevered, but all of the believers are long gone, along with most of their cultures. My point being you will be long gone before the planet is.

This is a deep topic that depends on how future spaceships are designed. That in turn depends on technology.

For example, if propulsion and fuel are cheap (eg fusion) you may accelerate constantly, flip around and then decelerate constantly. Do this at 1G and you will avoid problems of prolonged zero-G. If fuel is a significant part of your mass (as it is with all current rockets) then doing that will be prohibitively expensive if not impossible. That means either zero-G or spin gravity. Spin gravity necessitates a certain minimum diameter. The travel time will be much longer so you then have different psychology to deal with.

The size of the engine in each case may dictate a certain ship size. This entails different dynamics based on group size.

Aside from the enormous risks.. We see that people are not even willing to limit their own emissions in the long term for their own benefit (and I am not talking about the poor, I am talking about the rich - 90% emissions is caused by top 10% wealthy of all people). How do you imagine then, people actually investing energy to cool the planet on other people's behalf?

The truth is, we always had technological solutions, problem is where you draw the line on a finite planet to avoid overshoot.

It's really like that joke, in a flood, a religious man rejects a neighbor's boat, because he believes the god will save him. Then he rejects a rescue helicopter, again, the god will sure save him. Eventually, he dies, comes to heaven and asks god, why didn't he save him? Well, the god says, I sent the boat and the helicopter..

That's what we do with technology. We have technological solutions (to reduce emissions), we just reject them, because they are below us. Geoengineering is just another prayer.

I've been reading and hearing about floods in Pakistan since there were West Pakistan and East Pakistan. It seems Pakistan's politicians don't care what happens to ordinary people in the country, because flood control measures and emergency response plans are fairly cheap.

Are you asking for Westerners to take over? That's not going to happen.

The situation is what it is. The best thing for Pakistani citizens is to focus on what can be done now.
It’s actually incapable of doing any of that, for now. Deep learning can’t generalize and it doesn’t understand plans or schematics.

Lots of smart people have been trying to get it to have capabilities anywhere close to what you’re describing for years now, to no luck.

As a non-religious part of the majority I'm happy that your religious views are no longer represented in political views, as they're a niche perspective and should not be foisted on society at large.
Yikes, I think this is how teams end up with "we should just rewrite this whole thing because the guy who wrote it liked doing things his own nonstandard way and nobody else can understand it once he left".

Clever code that reimplements common packages just because one person thinks it's better for their particular use case might seem like a flex when you write it, but it's a pain in the ass for everyone after you... sigh.
The requirement is to do something to estimate the age of users, nowhere does it say that would always need to be more invasive than asking the user if they're over 18. If we do all know that it doesn't have to be facial recognition that's great, but the title of the post suggested that the law requires you to "scan your face on every website" and I was taking issue with that.
> Is there a reason you can't continue to donate the same amount of money to your favored cause even if your taxes were raised?

i can donate the same amount as before if i decrease the rate at which i'm saving for a house. this tradeoff exists, will always exist, and is influenced by outside forces (taxes, inflation). that's the point.

> Current inflation is mainly due to: [...]

which is distinct from saying that state spending does not contribute to inflation.

the rest of your points... i could respond but i don't see any path to resolving our disagreements. from my perspective you seem unwilling to admit an environment where distributing resources toward one purpose necessarily means redistributing them away from some other purpose, whereas i'm solidly convinced we don't live in the post-scarcity society. you suggest that individuals aren't to be trusted to distribute funds toward socially-good destinations (charity), yet i see a single individual bypassing the peoples' elected congressional representatives and doing just that.

i expect you would dispute this characterization (as someone who shares a democracy with you, i would hope you dispute it), and that i would dispute your characterization of my views, and that we would get bogged down there just as we are here. i have no reason to doubt your intentions, but there seems to be a large gulf between us and i'm getting the feeling this medium is ill-suited to the task. but it's good for other things, so please enjoy this photo of a very special cat as my parting gift instead: https://uninsane.org/share/captain_the_cat_in_a_box.jpeg
> Lack of controls and auditing is the real news. How do you not notice $10m dollars missing? Is there anyone reviewing refunds?

Maybe you haven't realized but Crypto.com has been splurging way larger sums than that on advertising in sports, I'm guessing that much like many during the +60K ATH levels they were burning so much capital due to the immense gains and only realized this after an accountant did a final year analysis for tax purposes (they base din HK if I recall). Exchanges, even unicorn YC backed ones like CONbase, have been shown to be extremely horrible at these kind of things; which is why it's so often repeated to take your coins off an exchange and have self-custody.

I'd like to say that after 10+ years we would have already learned from all the mistakes and came away with all there is to operate an exchange, specifically a KYC/AML one with it's larger budget for auditing and misc overhead, but the truth is that other than a quick on/off ramp exchanges are the most broken link in the Bitcoin ecosystem because of the nature of how they operate. This is just another example, and it was given to her in cash by the sound of things.

Ultimately this is why Decentralized Exchanges have and will continue to be so imperative: Bitsquare, now BISQ has been the shiny beacon of what and how you should operate: slow and steady wins the race, while companies like MTGOX lie in the wake as a reminder of what happens when you have central points of failure.

With that said, 10 million is a large sum, but its not much with the volume that gets transacted on the BTC network for larger whales, and there are many based out of HK.
Hmm, are they allowed to rent out the backup copy if the original breaks? I thought rental was based on first sale doctrine and backup copies are based on fair use. I'm not sure if you can combine the 2.

Why is it a bad idea? The amount of sunlight striking Europe (esp. northern Europe) in the winter is basically useless for solar power generation.
It has everything to do with Ukraine. The low gas storage levels were engineered to create additional leverage over European countries during the upcoming invasion.

"The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that 50 percent of the deficit in European storages was due to the depletion of Gazprom-owned storages, despite the fact that Gazprom only owned 10 percent of European storages. This rapid draining of storages left European gas storage dangerously low at the height of winter, increased market panic, and further inflated gas prices."

>there are a number of techs that have ~10-15% capacity factor (not 10% of 20%) in winter in the area 80% of the populations lives

I'm pretty sure these numbers are completely false for central Europe.
Confusing copying and performance doesn’t matter to this argument because whether or not you consider lending a book copying or performance lending a digital book should work by the same rules.
Growing up in Sweden, I mainly watched Swedish (original or dubbed) shows as a kid.

Once we got satellite and I started watching American channels I had my first encounter with censorship. Bleeps and blurs and random spots where audio cuts out. It was very jarring. I couldn't understand it at all and still can't. It really stands out, breaks the flow, makes everything feel cheap and ugly. In real life people swear and sometimes there is nudity. That never bothered me. But the jarring edits "protecting" me from these? Those certainly do.
4ths and fifths are used in most standard systems of music.

Actually it's just fifths because fourths are just fifths.

And fifths sound good because of physics.

For example the pentatonic scale used in a lot of eastern music is subsumed by the western scale.

> though James Shaw - the environment minister is Green

I've always been deeply frustrated at Green's unwillingness to work with National. By playing kingmaker like NZ First did, the party would have had much more impact on the environment, had their primary focus actually been environment.

I know that this would never happen because Green is not an environmental party but an actual left wing party that a Labour should have been instead of...generally doing nothing.

> ... in favor of the tax measure that voters passed in San Francisco to support homeless services ...

Ok come on, a tax on gross receipts is asinine. Of course low margin businesses with high volumes left. Square left, Stripe left, PayPal left. That cuts into the tax base which in turn means less revenue to help the homeless.

Regardless of whether you think what they did with it was good, the actual calculus of who has to pay how much makes zero sense.

Then of course there's the fact that money went to putting the hobos under highway overpasses in tent cities instead of building more houses.

I'm with Garry on this one.
Universal healthcare isn't controversial outside of the US.

Who by the way spend far more per person than any other developed country on healthcare, that's both government and consumer spending.
IRC is not a web protocol. IRC is on the Internet, but not the web.

IRC frontends can be and are hosted on web pages, but that's not the same thing.

Discord is hosted on port 443, uses HTTPS as a transport protocol, and is entirely a web application.

anyway, I feel that discord is meant to be just as ephemeral as plain IRC is, given that nearly every IRC server I have ever used automatically logged everything that happened to a searchable web interface.
> What should a government of a 'free' nation do to counter that destabilization or those weaponized narratives?

Start to teach logical fallacies in primary schools. Encourage critical thinking. This comes at the cost that the government's own bs does not work so well anymore, because people now know how to spot a logical fallacy.
> The melting of the ice-caps over the next 100 years or whatever will result is rising sea levels. Potentially a rise of hundreds of metres.

If literally all the ice on the planet melted and ran into the ocean the ocean would only rise 70 meters [0] (so 100s of meters is genuinely physically impossible).

The current WORST case scenarios as modeled by the IPCC would put us on track for <4 meters of rise by 2300, 280 years from now [1]

No? I’m saying it’s better for them to stick with Cloudflare for those reasons including government agencies being able to better monitor them for illegal content, despite my personal dislike of that doxxing site.
I like the idea. But it’s pointless if the connections do log - or leak data in some way.

You are mostly connecting to the VPN with a same or similar IP. So right there; you are back to having to trust they aren’t logging or leaking.

If they are, it doesn’t matter Mull is missing your name, you are already correlated from ISP to endpoint in this case.

Likewise, if they aren’t logging, what does it matter if they have your name and account info?
"'only' at 22 points given by nature"
>> this isnt true. The sa and pa are non movable and dont have upper and lower shruti is for a practical reason. Tanpura, which is a drone instrument has typical tuning of sa and pa notes. Singers typically sing with tanpura, to get reference pitch. If singer sings variation (shrutis) around sa and pa, it causes acoustic beats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)) where the volume appears to vary slowly. For example, tanpura sa drone string is tuned to 139 hz and singer sings 140 hz then audience hears beat of 1 hz. The beats are unpleasant so these shrutis are avoided. There is no 'natural' reason here.
Exactly, instead of treating climate change as an apocalyptic event, the entire world need to band together and tackle this unique challenge. We can enable this by spreading education and awareness, and do our part to slow down climate change.
I'm currently playing around with a Vulkan toy renderer and use coroutines for some parts and I have to say it's a perfect match: many Vulkan apis are async, they return immediately but give you an option to signal a fence that you can query from the CPU.

Without coroutines, this is where I would have to roll some callbacksmechanism or statementmachine, but with coroutines, I can simply suspend the callstack and resume once the fence is signaled.

Its very neat.
I didn't expect India! Iran for sure does that too. The zoom part was kind of nostalgic :) they are getting better and better (just technically). They were even covering women bodies!

Shit load of money and resources for these nonesense censorships.
Earth and its systems are too complex and left with too much unknown variables to be confident in messing with them without the danger of creating a feedback loop that makes the matter worse.

Take for example invasive species of plants and animals -- some of them were deliberately spread to non-native habitats in hope to regulate X but are now wrecking havoc in local ecosystems and pushing out native species.
Was it only on paper or did you get it digitally?

If the latter, zbar should do the trick to decode it.

If it requires iOS or Android, that'd be a cue to inform them how you currently don't own a device with either and ask how to make it work on your Pinephone running Mobian. More people need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable for this to start changing.

Assuming employees will have personal Android/iOS devices and require registering and using them for work functions is something which needs to be mentioned in an employment contract to have any standing.

Nand 2 Tetris: https://www.nand2tetris.org/

In which you, more or less, build a computer from scratch. The course takes you through 12 projects, about 1 week each, where you incrementally build:

a CPU

a RAM chip

a full von Neumann computer

an assembly language

a virtual machine

a high-level language

an operating system

... using NAND gates. All of this is done on your computer using tools provided by the course. Once you've done these projects you will understand the building blocks of a computer from the RAM and CPU, to assembly up to the compiler that executes your programming language of choice. It's a powerful course that will unlock a whole new perspective on computer programming for you. I believe that bang-for-buck it's probably the best online course for someone who is a self-taught programmer. It's practical, fun and mostly oriented around building things.

(from my blog @ https://mattsegal.dev/nand-to-tetris.html)
Well, there's that part where all the major Western governments basically have their head in the sand and think that aiming for gradual changes by 2050 is perfectly fine.

China might go for it, though. They've got that balance of enough top-down authority to actually make big projects happen and the need to continue showing large-scale improvement to the common people to maintain legitimacy.

> Doing it with a digital file ... digital distribution ... extend first sale doctrine to digital files

I fully understand, but there's got to be a better way to describe this line in the sand given that DVDs contain digital files. "Physical" doesn't work because networks have a physical layer. "Stream" is also problematic because bitstreams are present on any kind of media. Even "network" doesn't quite cut the mustard because a chain of video stores could be described as a trade network. "Tangible" comes damn close, but suppose the baud rate is slow enough and the voltage high enough that I can discern the download by touching the wire? What, then, is the unambiguous word for what we're talking about here?

If it really boils down to letting time elapse between views/customers, shouldn't that be what the law demands?
I'm not advocating my views here. I'm simply stating that as a religious person I think calling National Christian right is incorrect.
It's more like what problems you don't see. The unknown unknowns.

It takes monumental levels of hubris to think we can control the planet's climate, THE chaotic system.

Especially when the proposed solution to the effects of a perturbation to the system (increase in greenhouse gases) is an even bigger perturbation (blocking sunlight).

It's like trying to avoid a tsunami by generating another tsunami in the opposite direction and hoping the waves will cancel out.
