Yeah, but the environment does not exactly makes it easier. More like, it usually makes it harder. The way places are build for example - most people have to use car, the option to go by walk. public transport or by bicycle is not there for most people. There are not even sidewalks in quite many places and if you walk somewhere, you are "odd" (I had cops stop at me just because I was walking somewhere. They thought something is wrong.).

The expectation seems to be that you wont just have physical movement normally as part of your daily life, you have to use car to go to special place (gym, park further away) to do things like exercising, jogging etc. And Americans work a lot too, there stereotype of lazy American, but that lazy American works a lot more hours then people in other parts of the world.

I mean, the amount of physical movement I had definitely changed with how easy and pleasant it was to have some low key movements. And the way America is build, it is fairly often neither. Even the way Americans talk about it - low key going by walk or bicycling or whatever is the first to be sacrificed to minor safety improvement or to general "if you want to do it that much, you can go to bike trail, mountains, etc". That however cuts off everyone except most determined.
Hey!

I have, after I had a deep talk with a friend about what’s really important in life.

I have since left the big and prestigious company I had been working at that time, joined a small startup in the healthcare industry, where I work less, but focused in what’s really important, and I earn much more money.

I am also working on a product on the side to eventually be able to break free from having to work for a company (nothing wrong about that).

It’s possible my friend!
Price for natural gas is 10 times the ordinary. Can this increase in price allow for shipment of gas e.g. in liquid form from USA? Or from other sources? Can this difference allow rapid transition towards electric uses?
A similar thing exists in the music industry outside of Instagram, continually selling wannabe musicians "agent access" and "recording sessions" for $5-10k a pop and never actually doing anything.
Spain and Portugal import most of their gas from Algeria.
It might explain the base life expectancy gap (though see [0]; monks and nuns have a much smaller life expectancy gap, which suggests that social effects are dominating). But that wouldn't explain the trendline of an increasing life expectancy gap.

This is a good example of how the discourse on this subject seems to have twisted itself around. No one serious ever thought "advertising" was a bad thing, not really. It was the potential abuse of the stored data people were worried about. But that's hard to explain, especially without good examples to which to point[1]. So fast forward a few years and... now it's "adtech" that's the enemy in isolation.

That seems unfortunate. And futile anyway, because the truth is that society as a whole actually wants advertising, in all its forms. We may find individual ads annoying but we still make our purchase decisions based on those ads and use those channels to hawk our own wares.

[1] The truth is that the big ad-driven internet companies have been, on the whole, actually fairly good stewards of this stuff. People don't trust them out of principle (or, just as often, tribalism), but at least so far the dystopia hasn't arrived.
I just ordered myself a paraffin camping lamp, I already had stacks of candles but they were more for mood. And of course I have a torch, but I always worry about batteries, so another backup isn't so bad.

I'm not anticipating major blackouts or anything, just made me think back to my childhood when blackouts did occasionally happen, and we had one of those lamps and it was more versatile than candles.

They are talking about possible blackouts here, but it's early days.

No they aren't. They are saying they would provide *security services* to these companies. They won't host it, but they also won't let it get taken down through cyber attacks. They are preventing vigilante justice against these companies, that's all.
I know it's framing things from a human perspective, but I've always considered if we put a bunch of objects far out into the universe that we'd probably accidentally ram the satellite equivalent of a 737 MAX or something into a planet at some point.

The point being made, I think, is that it isn't the health care system at fault in these disadvantages, but rather some external factors. Obesity, for example, is particularly high in the US, and leads to reduce lifespan.
Isn't shitting on U.S. culture (e.g. "oh at least we don't do x!") while driving home with a Big Mac one of the most Euro things to do? I've seen various shades of this in the U.K., France, Italy etc. I'm not sure I would be getting out the small violins tbh as the friendly animosity is kind of funny. Western Europe is essentially NA-lite economically and politically anyway.
Yes, but the French are out there with a full nuclear-based energy system. There's no reason for them to be the only country to do this.

I believe any developer should be free to release things in the way they please. In fact some people might prefer an easy executable file. However, I do reserve the right to be suspicious and consider any such file as potentially malicious. There are some ways to deal with it, including using a virtual machine. I was just wondering if anybody else had a better idea.

Hold up, think about what that statements means.

1. Let’s take the guy’s word at face value who is totally okay helping spread deception.

2. And the rich person says he’s not continuing to do “action that made him rich” because he wants even more money, but because he enjoys it.

Should that statement really be taken at face value given the context and the claim?

A far better way is to just finish the war, which could be done in a few weeks.

Russian forces are on their last legs, they can barely fend off under-equipped Ukrainian recruits.

Putin may possibly use a tactical nuke, but if he does, his regime is over as China and India will turn against him. Remember that they have not recognized Donbas or Crimea as Russian territory either.

With Western intervention, Putin would basically be forced to some kind of 'Giant Saving Of Face' withdrawal, which my bet would be something like: "Donbas and Crimea maintain their independence, Russian language and culture is allowed, Russia can have monitors to ensure their are no 'Nazis!' (which is bullshit in the first place), and possibly some citizens can keep their citizenship'

But in reality, it's a Russian collapse as Ukrainian and 'International Soldiers' monitor the areas.

One 'cause' of this war is the 'weakness signal' coming out of DC which Putin gambled mostly correctly on - if he were to have been successfull in taking Kyiv, he would have won. And he almost did.

Washington has been taking the incremental approach and it's mostly prolonged things, we need to step it up and play a few Ace cards.

>It was an economic issue, not a political one.

The two can't be disentangled. Woke censorship is often justified through economic self-interest nowadays. Do you really believe activists 20 years ago would be placated if ISPs had simply promised to throttle only based on politics rather than economics?
A few years back I got frustrated with the unreliability and cost of my home printer and a friend suggested I pick up an HP LaserJet 4000N - a printer that came out in the late 90’s. After a bit of convincing I found one that was being thrown out and lugged the 50lb+ piece of yellowed 90’s plastic home. My friend provided a large jug of official HP toner, showed me how to fill the reservoir, and since that day I have not had to refill the toner or do any other maintenance - it has honestly been one of the most reliable and carefree pieces of my home network for 5+ years at this point.

The 4000N is also a modular design with the ability to add attachments for things such as extra paper trays, auto-staplers, auto-folders, or networking cards; if that is your thing. I’ve have mine connected to my home network and have never needed an explicit driver or had issues using the printer from any of the major operating systems.

If you are someone that only needs to print in black and white, and has the space, it may be worth checking out - I assume they can still be found for cheap/free as well
Insurance companies do cover some holistic health care: they cover preventative annuals, bloodworks, et al. The fact of the matter is, obesity isn't considered a healthcare concern to treat on a system manner. It's not like a fat person can discipline themselves out of a fatness they didn't exactly discipline themselves into. Lots of obese people are uneducated and poor who cannot afford the time or energy to cook. Where's the free gym memberships, free nutritionists, government-subsidized HelloFresh or some other healthy meal delivery?

If obesity is the problem on a societal level, we're certainly not treating weight loss like a solution.
I wonder how much further decline is already baked in. People actually dying is a lagging indicator. It’ll be interesting to see the predicted life expectancy for 40 years.

It was both the natural gas plants not being winterized and the wind turbines energy production being intermittent.

And how much each is responsible depends on how you do the analysis.

That's a lot of words to say that they don't want to drop Kiwifarms.

It's interesting how companies like Cloudflare will stylize themselves as public infrastructure when it comes to who they should take money from but would fight tooth and claw if you argued they should also be regulated as such.

This is simply free speech fundamentalism posing as being "unpolitical". Free speech taken to the extreme results in the suppression of speech (not to mention all the other reasons most countries have laws tackling demagoguery, hate speech and incitement). The "Paradox of Tolerance" still applies.
Ten years ago BBB was a great place to buy dishes. Tons of variety. When I was buying dishes for my new house recently, virtually no variety. It also feels like a lot of their products have been replaced with the kind of cheap junk you'd buy on Amazon and not worry if it broke.
The European gas sanctions specifically aren't working:

1. The gas is just being arbitraged via China. It's a commodity, it makes no sense to stop buying from source A and start buying from source B if B is willing to buy from A.

2. Gazprom is now making record-breaking profits.

Europe is now facing an unprecedented and mostly self inflicted crisis of the type that didn't occur even during the cold war. The Russians claim they are willing to fill up to half of Nord Stream 2 the moment Germany decides to accept it. If that's a lie then the energy crisis is real. If it's not a lie then European leaders are manipulating the public - sanctioning Russia so they feel good and virtuous whilst simultaneously claiming the sanctions are the other way around and there's nothing they can do to get more gas.

Sanctions on non-commodities like chips, specialist tools, infrastructure access? That can work and is probably having an impact. Sanctions on a commodity that can be moved around as a liquid? That can only work in theory if everyone does it despite the huge incentives to defect.
Yes that is correct. The random web service fetches a copy of the cached version of the page.

Nothing, because German gas recervoirs are being filled up right noe. Switching from gas heating to a heat pump is not feasible time and budget wise. The first gas consumers to be cut off will be public pools and offices. Prices will go up, but not to a level tgat will hurt us, those that will be hurt will get public subsidies.
> I mean, the union members agreed to a collective agreement.

The union agreed to some bargain with the employer. That's not a contract with individual employees. No third-party can bind me to a contract without my explicit consent.

Unions employ lawyers; most scaffolding erectors don't have lawyers.

> What the union wants is "to eat their cake and have it too".

This has hardly anything to do with the union; the industrial action in this case is wildcat action, without the sanction of the union. The impression I've formed is that this action is by a bunch of workers that have lost confidence in their union reps.

Coincidently, my wife and I drive by one of their stores that I didn’t realize was so close to our current home.

I asked her if she knew it was there and she said she refuses to go there because they are 2-3x the price of Amazon, even with all their gimmicky 20% coupons.

I understand how Amazon can best out on product costs, but being 50-75% less seems crazy to me.

The ever present German greens which apparently have the country of Germany in an iron grip even though they have less than 15% of the vote.

Fortunately the upgrade path has not been too bad once you get to .NET Core. Usually one time changes to your Program.cs and Startup.cs files. The Top-Level statements addition is pretty jarring at first, but a cool addition. I did run into a breaking change from .NET 5 to 6 with an Encryption library not working right. But most everything else just works when upgrading. If it was just .NET additions life would be fine. It is the front-end churn that causes real stress. AngularJS, TypeScript, Angular, React, Blazor, WebPack, Vite, etc.
I think it's pretty clear that many people here lack historical and geo political context.

"Can you believe Russia would invade to get a warm water port?!"

Yes, I would.

Btw your analogy of "why isn't germany authoritarian" is off the mark, because the Russians and NATO completely dismantled the existing power structures post ww2 through force. We did not do anything close to that post cold war. In fact the communist party still exists today in Russia.

Another point is that the US made it clear it would not tolerate an openly authoritarian government in Western Europe but would tolerate far right groups for its own purposes against communism.
Public transportation is a service, not a business meant to run a profit. I don’t mind subsidies when the public pays for its own stuff.

Almost half of the Swiss gas imports are from Russia, and let's add to that a part of the EU imports - which probably more than half originate from Russia as well. But making extraordinary claims was always at the heart of Swissness, right?

https://gazenergie.ch/de/wissen/detail/knowledge-topic/3-her...
That was during the cold war 40 years ago and the US couldn't have said otherwise at this time given how entrenched and polarised the conflict was.

The EU has been built on the concept of collaboration. It's not for no reason that Macron called a couple weeks ago for being careful not humiliating the Russian civilisation (with of course sanctions being necessary), to fend off the risk of seeing the same thing repeating itself in a few generations. History demonstrated that many times.

DDoS is a product of an inherent weakness of the internet infrastructure, namely BGP. Cloudflare "solves" this by acting as a middleman, and charging for their service.

> It's fun to imagine an alternate history where the left were more pro-nuclear power.

The thing is, nuclear is not incompatible with “the left”. After all, nuclear programmes make sense only with a lot of public investment and control, and work best in nationalised producers, in which case it provides cheap electricity for the people and revenues for the state. Both the socialists and the communists are in general pro-nuclear.

It’s horse trading to keep the greens in the “gauche plurielle” coalition that closed Superphénix. It’s the same kind of compromises that lead to the arbitrary policy that “we should not have more than 50% of nuclear electricity” and the closing of Fessenheim. Even now, the leftist alliance NUPES cannot really discuss this because the demagogues and greens are against but the other half is pro.
Norway is also raking in money on gas and to a lesser extent electricity, only problem is that we also get the insane electricity prices (or to be more precise, most of us. Electricity is up to 1000% more expensive in the south than in the north). The government is getting richer while the population is sucked dry from the "smart" electricity meter.
Yeah, if I'm traveling, especially internationally, I'm going to probably have a printed backup of my itinerary, any pre-purchased tickets, etc. I absolutely don't want to be in a situation where my phone goes out and I don't know where I'm staying that night.
