Extended warranty which is basically insurance. Leaving aside the fact that some credit cards provide it for you anyway and things like that. Yes, for most purchases, this is a bad deal because the expected value is almost certainly negative and--probably--if something does break you can replace it.

Here we're talking about losses rather than gains. The certainty of small losses (extended warranty purchases) vs. the chance of a relatively large loss. But it's the same idea with a negative sign.

I'd like to see a link to an e-moto that can go at least 40mph that costs less than $6k.

I see e-bikes that can go 35 or so for $2500. Which is great! I just wish we could have that without the bullshit regulation that they need to be human-powerable.

It all comes down to bad regulations giving perverse incentives not to build a low-cost electric vehicle for short-distance personal urban travel. We have e-bikes or we have Fiats.

We are on the verge of ending capitalism, so close to land value taxes and negative interest rates that will prevent the special interests of capital to distort the market and yet at the same we are so far away, scared of ending the endless rat race of outcompeting each other to death amidst a sea of prosperity, because we believe power should breed more power and everyone else should lose power until they end up with nothing.

The solutions are already there, the third way beyond capitalism and communism had already graced the planet and we just need to take a step, it isn't even a big one.

> Most of the time people talk about these experiences, they are vague and difficult to understand.

I’ve taken LSD a few times. When people ask about it I like to say that the experience is exactly like how people describe it, but nothing like what I expected. Trying to “map it out” in complete detail would be like trying to map out sex. I’m not convinced I can fully explain my experience, and even if I did, I bet your experience would be different from mine.

Maybe the best description I can give is that your mind stops suppressing a lot of thoughts. When I hear music on LSD my brain turns the music into a whole planet that looks like that music sounds. When I look in the mirror I see myself as a fey creature full of animus and life. The things that my sober self stresses about seem ridiculous - like the fears of a 5 year old. And I still feel trapped by my fears at the same time.

It’s a very unique experience. As Sam Harris says, if you take enough LSD it’s impossible to be bored.

I’d argue that the optimal amount of crime is zero but the optimal amount of possibility of crime should be non-zero. That’s a necessary escape hatch out of a police state or authoritarian government. After all, the resistance against the Nazis was technically criminal at that time, even though now we’d all agree it was a good thing it occurred anyway.

It is especially important nowadays because unlike back then where technology was limited and surveilling 100% of the population was impossible, it is very much possible today and is already being done in certain places such as China.

That's why I didn't say all kids - of course there are exceptions. And your example is not how most of us get animal meat. Kids in cities don't have a garden where they can raise their own chickens.

I'm talking about the realities of factory farming and slaughterhouses - where animals lead a miserable life.

And where did I say we should kill all remaining farm animals?

Of course it would be a transition away from large scale animal farming to more sustainable plant based farming and maybe some small family run animal farms.

It would mean removing the huge subsidies the meat and factory farm industry is getting and using those subsidies to help farmers transition to sustainable farming.

The UN, scientists from the IPCC and various other organizations urge us to reduce or eliminate our consumption of meat & dairy if we want to limit global heating to 1.5C. But hey, don't look up.

And what's wrong with having moral values that extend to other living beings on this planet? Killing animals and raising them in factory farms is cruel [0] - if you disagree then I'd like to hear how it's not cruel. Do you think an animal happily gives up their life so we can have a burger?

Methalox can be a better choice if you are designing a reusable launch system and you are optimizing for low cost to orbit.

SLS is planned as an expendable launch system that will put spacecraft far beyond Earth orbit. They need the specific impulse that hydrogen offers.

And in related news, liquid hydrogen is going to become just as mainstream as LNG is today, within a decade from now. All the major LNG ship builders (KHI, GTT etc.) are building and testing LH2 transport ships as we speak. Suiso Frontier began operational sailing more than a year ago.

> There weren't black people in medieval Europe

But there definitely were.[1]

Also, the idiots complaining about black elves are racist morons. There were, in fact, black elves in Tolkien's world. Though never depicted as such by artists, Eöl the Dark Elf (who was not Moriquendë, i.e. not a member of the Moriquendi or the Elves of Darkness) probably wasn't white. In The Silmarillion, Tolkien goes out of his way to describe Eöl's son as having white skin. There's no reason to do that unless his son was notably distinct in this way from his father.

the actual window of discussion was launching a weather balloon. the weight of the payload was less than 16oz. it was not attempting to achieve orbit. its sole purpose was to go as high as the expansion of the balloon material would allow at whatever speed it could before falling back to terra firma.

it was tale of how me personally had a near experience using hydrogen, but was convinced that might just be a bad idea. the fact that a NASA rocket is experiencing an issue with hydrogen is what prompted me to share the story. everyone else seeems to think i'm launching rockets with hydrogen as a fuel source.
The complexity is astronomical, so I'm glad they're being overly careful. Once perfected I hope they keep up the cautiousness so we don't start seeing shuttle-type neglect in the program.

I believe that the BRIEF text editor was strongly inspired by EMACS (by the original EMACS, because the GNU Emacs was launched almost simultaneously with BRIEF).

Like from EMACS, you could do pretty much anything from inside the editor and BRIEF also had a very powerful LISP-like macro language, from which you could modify the behavior of any key press and so on.

So there is no wonder if its window system was also inspired by EMACS (assuming that the original EMACS already had tiling windows, which I do not know).

You're not very good at arguing your case. I see where you're trying to go with this, but that analogy sucks.

Look, Disney just ruins everything. I grew up with the A.A. Milne books for Winnie the Pooh. As a child, I had a picture in my mind for all of the characters, appearance, voice, manner. Disney's Winnie the Pooh is not it, and they have such cultural dominance that their vision can seem to overwrite the original.

I've had to just learn to not sweat it. Blade Runner 2049? Excellent movie, but I do not consider it canon. The original had a sense of humor and hopefulness that 2049 just absolutely lacked.

> Its just... not really that much simpler than FCGI / php-fpm in my experience.

I mean, there are a lot of options to run PHP out there: for sites that don't get a lot of traffic, something like mod_php in Apache might just be enough, because configuring php-fpm means that you'll have another process running for executing PHP and you'll need to proxy traffic to it.

Personally, I recently tried building my own Ubuntu container images for all of the software that I want to run (excluding databases) and found this in particular to be a pain point. I could get php-fpm installed, used Supervisord to launch multiple processes in the container, but PHP was only executed when I built the container image locally, yet failed to execute PHP when the container image was built on the CI server.

I have no idea why exactly that was, even though I tried documenting that mess on my blog "Containers are broken": https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/containers-...

Now, that was probably a build issue (that I managed to resolve by just moving PHP over to Nginx, which seemed to integrate with no issues for whatever random reason), but operationally mod_php seems way simpler, just something that plugs into your web server and lets you process requests directly - even if in a less scalable manner.

Then again, nowadays you have multiple MPM choices: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mpm.html

So as far as I can tell, many folks might be using something like mpm_event, which generally performs a bit more efficiently than mpm_prefork or something like it.

But using PHP just for CGI, without even trying to integrate with a web server per se? I'm not sure, but given the example above, I'm sure that there are reasons for doing that as well, much like my example of moving one step back from php-fpm, to mod_php if need be.
I don't follow.

Not all prison sentences are the same. I am in a trial case for possession of illegal pornography (yes, that..). My name came out in the media on the day of my arrest, and society has already concluded the trial years before it is scheduled to take place. Lost the tech-related job, had to move out, lost all social interactions, etc. I've had severe mental health issues and a very difficult past so I had always been searching for therapy without much success, but that made it even harder.

On the plus side, all these years I've put to some use in learning that if nobody can help you with therapy you can still build it back up yourself. Pick from all the toolsets of DBT, CBT, read with a critical mind zen or buddhist writings, use the time to figure out what healing and coping are and how to put it in practice at every moment, and moment-to-moment. And I've only done all of that because when all things fell apart a couple people still stood by me and I figured I couldn't trust myself a whole lot more than I could trust their hearts, so I put in the work.

Doesn't exactly matter though, because prison will hit like a truck even though I was socially sentenced years ago, and pretty much every single program I've ever heard of for people "from prison" would use murder as the paramount example, but nobody will touch my kind of conviction with a ten foot pole.

All the sexual offenders I've been in group therapy with were either leaning on secrecy (jobs that don't do background checks, their names having remained undisclosed to the public, etc) or they were at the end of their rope. I have a couple people in my life who love me and am thankful for their help, but I very much suspect I'll fall in the latter category when justice officially passes over me.
In college I was told about a case with punchcard mainframes where it would crash around the same time in the process of running a long complicated multi step calculation.
