>Sure, it might hold you back in your chances for political election. But that's democracy.

Fifty years ago, you could have said the same thing about being black, or being a woman or a Jew - the majority being able to systematically deny political power to a specific demographic is an indicator of their having greater systemic and legal power than that demographic. The fact that being an atheist prevents one from holding any real political power in the US - I submit it would be impossible for a non-Christian President to be elected, for instance - whereas the worst discrimination Christians face is funny looks (I don't think your scenario of not being promoted in a "liberal news organization" because of religion is credible, if it exists it isn't common) kind of undermines your thesis that the power balance between Christianity and atheism is essentially equal. If it were, abortion rights would still exist given than the majority of Americans support them.
I prefer to work with people who are working for the same reasons, and don't resort to legal warfare to do so. You either agree to work together or don't, find another company elsewise.

It's pretty simple really.
Well at that point you don't really have "street view" and in fact you might as well just make a 3D BotW map renderer in webgl.

There are roads/paths in Breath of the Wild though, so it is possible to do make a more interactive version that's similar to Street View
Should I have all the money in the world I would most likely spend a good part of the year in Ibiza. I've been to a lot of places in the Mediterranean (and other shores) and Ibiza is one of the most beautiful places in terms of nature, people and generally good vibes.

Equating Ibiza to sex and parties is like saying Amsterdam is nothing but rain or London is always foggy. There's some truth to it, but you'll be missing a whole lot if judging just by that

Edit: typo
> but that too breaks when you legitimately want to give anyone the chance to message you.

Yup. I do want people to be able to contact me regarding my homepage. It's only a niche page on a niche subject, so only a handful of people has written in, but it was nice hearing from them and some of them did make quite a few valuable contributions.

Some minimal obfuscation seems to be enough to keep mail harvesters away, and beyond that those mails go through the same spam filter as all my other mail traffic. Putting up a contact form would definitively be more of a hassle than just a simple mailto:-link, and then I would additionally have to start worrying about how to keep the bots away from that contact form.
I could perhaps understand the use of fahrenheit for temperature - I'm not used to it, but people say the changes in different temperature degrees are more like how we perceive them (perhaps temperature is like some things like sound level that we perceive logarithmically, and ferenheit maps better to it [1]).

Not sure if this is valid (celsius looks fine to me) but if it is, sure, fahrenheit makes sense.

But for the rest, like distance and weight? What the fuck?!

[1] I'm not claiming we do perceive temperature logarithmically - just making an analogy with another case (sound) in which we don't use a straight linear relationship because it doesn't match our intuitive perception (e.g. of volume "doubling").
I had this problem too, with majority of documents being A4, but a single bank/med bill ruins the rest of the stack.

My solution was to just give up on keeping the documents unless I have to, for legal/tax purposes, and just digitally archive them. Modern scanner apps are super good, and the OCR/search features make the 20 seconds it takes to scan it and throw away the paper.
Perhaps because they will still run multiple programs, just not at the same time.

Or because the program behaves differently in different places, and it is too big to optimize.
While I haven’t been myself. I believe Ibiza very much has two literal sides to the island. The well known party side and a far more family friendly, beautiful, beach resort that is very popular with the affluent middle classes. I can completely see why people who can afford a short haul privet flight would choose Ibiza.
My UK friends never talk in metric. They weigh 16 stones and are 6 feet 4 inches. The next town over is about 25 miles, etc.
That's if you can even detect it.
> Yeah, but it’s not like this is rocket science or anything.

The key difference between this goal and SpaceX is that Elon Musk bought a private space company that already had the know-how and the market presence in a market with virtually no competitor.

In this case, Tesla is posting wild claims about developing the whole vertical integration of the whole tech stack barely over mining semiconductor raw materials, with which goal? Competing with the likes of AWS, Google, and Microsoft, on a very niche market?

Digging holes in the ground is hardly rocket science as well.
> You are putting far too much weight in arbitrary numbers, probably due to personal familiarity

bmitc reacted to the comment that said "Temperature near 100°C is important when we cook (eggs, pasta, rice)." By asking when that info is important. They are not the one here that put weight in arbitrary numbers, at least in that last comment.
> scrum is as good a place to start as any

No, it's not. It's a very bad place to start. Because Scrum is a fixed process, with a fixed meaning.

If you started with Scrum and then stopped doing sprints because they weren't working for your team, you would quickly run into all sorts of opposition around "we're not doing Scrum properly; we need to be doing sprints".

Whereas if you started with nothing, no process at all, and later tried adding sprints, everyone would evaluate sprints by themselves with no preconditioned notion of how that should work within the rest of the process.

You'd have to square this against the significant wealth of those who are best able to revolt, ie., all of us. The historical standard of "wealth" for revolution was basically "none". Once you hit mass starvation, you're there.

Violent revolutions are conducted either by the court (of the king) who use the desperation of the very poor; or by envious almost-wealthies likewise able to rabble-rouse the very poor.

The problem you have with your theory is: we are all very rich against the "revolt wealth" standard. Greece, post-crisis, lost 25% of its GDP. If that had occurred in almost any decade in human history there would be a violent revolt. Today a loss of 25% GDP goes from very rich, to quite rich.

Almost everyone who could revolt is far too wealthy to risk it. The european poor arent going to risk their benefits to revolt against taxpayers. These benefits constitute an insurmountable wealth-floor on revolution.

The rich can do whatever they like, envy isn't enough here.
Usually, VPS is taken to mean the virtual private server that is rented at some company, not one of the virtual machines you host on the physical hardware that is located on your private property.

It's real simple, if you don't own the hardware, if it's not physically available to you to go whack with an axe, then you don't own anything, you're just renting and entirely at the mercy of whoever you're renting from.

Both celsius and fahrenheit are completely arbitrary, just use whichever one everyone around you is using and you'll be alright. You'll internalise the scale eventually.

If climate change was a scam that sounds like it would be true.
I love the idea.

I've always wondered if the format of long form expert opinions could be replaced by a knowledge graph that is independent of the expert.

E.g. instead of article "Economist John rejects minimum wage"

Root node "Minimum wage is not the best solution to problem x" -> because -> <node to define problem>, <node to define alternative solutions> -> because -> <leaf nodes of studies or models>

In this way other experts could add to the graph and the differences between different branches of argument could be more easily compared or automatically updated. Articles could still be written, but could reference specific nodes or edges of the graph which adds clarity to the discussion.
IBM's Z/Architecture mainframes have native support for some of these functions, it could be interesting to see how the speed compares
Shame this comment is floating to the top, for a few reasons.

First: The DIN paper standards aren't a part of the metric system. They are a use of the metric system.

Second, the important part: what makes A series paper cool (truly one of my favorite standards) is a ratio, these are by definition independent of metric.

One can imagine a paper standard based on 36 inches, rather than 1 meter, which would have all of the good properties of A and B series paper.

The third reason is that the imperial measurement system is also an application of the metric system. But others have covered that already.

It's an ongoing source of amusement to me that people fluent in just one system of measurement look down on a continent of hundreds of millions whose educated class is fluent in both.
So A1 is half of 'Alle', so Alle/2, no? A2 is Alle/4 and so on, making A4 Alle/16?
According to a random source (American Public Power Association), the US got about 30GW of new power from 2014 to 2021, and is projected to build another 41GW in 2022. The generation as of March 2022 was 1250GW, so about 2-3% increase per year. You'd have to add another 8.5% (12 year car replacement age, and it doubles consumption, so you need to double the total production in 12 years) on top of that and you'd have to start now, not in a couple years, when the problem becomes apparent.

Edit: Average car age is < 12 in the US, not 15.
That sounds like way too much. It's more likely it makes use of DC power at 5V or 12V: the fact it has an integrated adapter from AC to DC only means it's harder to figure this out.

A first AC/DC adapter I grabbed has an input of 0.1A at 230V and output of 0.5A at 10V. If your device has got a similar ratio (there is nothing to say it does, though :)), you are looking at 3A at 5V or 15W max.

In my country, they solved that overnight street parking pretty easily. If there's not a charger close by, you can request the city council to place a charger in your street. They do indeed dig it up, wire it to some electrical lines there and there's your charger. And the cost? Commercial companies actually do all of this and you just pay for the electricity when you charge, the city council takes care of the permits. Win/win/win situation I'd say.
why do you need SRV records for submission,imap and imaps? Are there email clients who make use of those?
Celsius is better for cooking, the Fahrenheit scale is better for hot weather, for colder weather, I prefer Celsius, around 0°C means water is freezing, so, snow, ice, etc...

Feet or inches are, I think, a bit more human friendly than meters, but only when used by themselves, that factor of 12 is just weird in a base 10 system. I know that the argument is that you can divide by 3 and 4 easily, but when it matters, metric countries simply make standard sizes a multiple of 12 (ex:120mm).

For volumes and weights, I find absolutely no redeeming feature to the imperial / US customary system. The kilogram is a perfectly fine unit, so is the liter, and that both are the same when we are weighing water is a very useful property. Because many things are around the density of water, you know that most things that fits in a 1L bottle weight around a kg, and you can often measure volumes with a scale without conversion.

Metric is not the most practical for every single situation, but it is more practical when used as a whole, that is, when you need to deal with with several quantities at the same time (ex: masses and lengths). And there are everyday situation where it is simply better in my opinion, like cooking.
>There very much can be a "rats-leaving-the-sinking-ship" effect that can be precipitated by a key person leaving.

Oh, yes. One person does not sink a ship, but I've seen cases where whole teams leaving destroyed companies.

Man oh man you wouldn't enjoy eastern Europe in the 90s.

Aside from the general post-communism, we had -30C cold snaps.

But yeah, snot freezes at around -18C - I consider this the point at which things become universally unpleasant regardless how prepared you are.

That being said during a cold snap of -22C I saw my neighbours struggle to start their ICE cars while my hybrid just brutally kicked the engine into action.
I think you're over-estimating how common it will be to need a battery replacement in an EV. Car batteries don't generally "go bad". They instead get "smaller" over time, but not drastically so.

It remains to be seen if modern EV batteries will need to be replaced before all the rest of the car.

Kinda late to the party, but just a heads up: in rust, bounds checks are only available on debug builds. I'm not familiar with the internals of Nanite though, so I can't comment on how safe (or unsafe) it should be to implement.
I stopped using my own domain (managed by an association) for sending to outlook.com and yahoo because I know it's a fight that will be a net loss for me. Senders will change provider (because it's critical) before these major actor starts planning a fix.
And in an organisation, if a business person asks the IT to fix the issue, the only way to do it in a timely manner is to changer provider. The requester will not care if it's Microsoft fault, sending mail works at home and in other companies, not here, do something, business comes first, bla bla bla.
I dont think that's true. I see imperial much more than metric.

Measures are much more common in inches, foot and miles than metric.
Volumes are much more common in cups, gallons, pints than metric.
Weights are more common in pounds and ounces than metric.

That's in almost all domains, not just "a few high-profile holdouts" (even cooking, where it kills me that quantities of solids are in "cups" rather than grams...)
Yeah, I said outside of colloquial use. People still use it colloquially because it's what they know, but they'll also know metric.
Yes, calibration of the thermometer. For example with sous vide cooking, it can be useful to know how accurate your equipment is since recipes are often expressed in precise temperatures.
Well, I don’t know, I do think that expert opinions can carry weight. Like: “according to Dr Malcolm Alan of the department of geology at Harvard university, this kind of rock usually indicates…”. I mean knowing that a professor of geology said that is evidence that a fact is true, isn’t it?
It's just saying that quantum startups are overvalued. Which may be true. It's certainly phrased in the article as an opinion.

He's air-gapped.
> Pastoral lands are pastoral, and not arable, usually because they are not suitable for arable cropping.

There is plenty of livestock raised on arable land though. The exact number of "arable land used to raise livestock" will probably differ widely per region; pretty much all of the Netherlands is arable as one extreme example. Many of the hills in, say, Ireland or Britain where sheep are grazing are not.

More importantly however, as you mentioned you need a multitude of arable land for any pastoral land since your livestock has to eat. You don't need this, but no way we can raise enough livestock to meet demand on self-sustainable pastoral lands, and it's more expensive too so there's that.

I don't think it's not mentioned because it's "inconvenient", but because it's a red herring and not really very important.
Yes, of course.

But it would be a great motivator if they actually bothered to relocate you in case you showed remarkable performance and added value to the company.

Prefixing table names with the app name is a simple way of letting multiple apps share the same database. Sharing the same database used to be really common, almost standard I’d say, when deploying on low-cost web hosts and also locally when working on multiple projects. I don’t let apps share databases anymore, but I still usually prefix table names anyway. Old habits die hard I guess, and for most ORMs it’s usually just a single config switch anyway.
I think the reason is also that people receiving emails have not necessarily opted in to receive it.

Someone in a Whatsapp group has chosen to join it. They can leave whenever they want and turn off notifications as a middle ground. Someone emailing the entire office because of a massage class is just lazy or an attention seeker (and the people replying to all "please remove me from this list" are total idiots)

I blacklist the "massage class tomorrow at lunch time" ladies in our office upon the first email but the problem is I still get all the replies to all. Email lacks advanced management options.
My ability to learn and remember stuff seems to be related to how interesting (how valuable) I find the information. The reason why I'm a slow learner is that I find it hard to remember things when I can't see their utility value. It takes a while to understand the full utility value of something.

On the flip side, sometimes I don't even notice (much less remember) certain things. When I'm visiting a new city with someone else, I never seem to be able to remember how to get back to the starting point - I recognize almost none of the streets or landmarks on the way back (aside from a few particularly interesting ones). My mind just delegates the full responsibility of finding the way back to the other person. It's not a problem if I'm visiting a city alone though.
Max Ram + CPU has always been a recipe for longevity of a laptop.

For me, RAM is at least a few seconds saved at every step, which adds up to minutes, hours, days and months saved. Waiting for a computer when you spend so much time on it is not something super worthwhile for me.

RAM remains like increased lung capacity for computers.

Apple silicon appears much more efficient per GB of RAM, which might reduce the need for RAM in average use cases.

It entirely remains to be seen if that effect remains as software and operating systems continue to become complex.

To imagine 32 GB is becoming the standards that 16 GB was a while ago doesn't seem unreasonable.
Those things come with the prevailing manufacturing country, which was the US for printers and such. So people just keep it.
It’s parsing smartermail logs which have a kind of funky format and the script quite tied to my setup (I have a central IP ban list because I also momitor non mail related protocols on multiple machines), so not sure it would be very useful to someone else.
That isn't correct. The pendulum definition was actually something called a "universal toise". Burattini suggested defining a unit called the metre based off of this, but it was found to be unworkable because it's not the same everywhere. A toise is ~1.949m.

The metre was _actually_ originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Obviously, that ended up having its own issues, hence the subsequent refinements until we settled on using the speed of light in a vacuum as the basis for it.

«Most of the spammers have valid SPF and DKIM»

What porbelm means is that when SPF and DKIM are valid, reputation check should be based on the sending domain, not on the sending IP.

This way spammers still get thwarted (because of their domains with zero or low reputation) and legit senders can send from any IP (since their domain CAN build good reputation)

Besides, it's also easier to track reputation of ~360M domains than billion of IPv6 and IPv4 ranges.

I wish you were right, but this is not how people commonly use the term "cultural appropriation", which typically refers to people benefitting in some way (money, status, coolness) from using elements developed by other cultures or sub-cultures. Some high profile examples: the white high school girl that wore a qipao to her prom, the widespread adoption of many hairstyles invented or popularized by black people (dreadlocks, cornrows), and Madonna bringing voguing from the gay clubs of Manhattan to MTV.

> This is fairly normal in today’s world of email providers, and one of the reasons it can be painful to manage your own SMTP server, right?

Yes. Silently discarded e-mail is the worst thing that can happen because you can't detected it as a sender. Your message reaching the spam folder is bad, but not as bad as getting silently discarded.

The best among the bad options is probably getting rejected with the SMTP return code 550 along with instructions how to delist in the return message.
