Russia Delivers Energy Ultimatum as Nord Stream Pipeline Shut Down
I think he burned his rep pumping "United Bitcoin", a strange Chinese scam coin

I was saying that I think it's better to assume you're not dishonest, just intellectually lazy.
Banning is just setting a quota of zero, which you've already agreed is effectively unenforceable.

Obviously control has to be on the demand and not the supply side. Banning the sale of fish, or punitively taxing it, would be two options to make commercial fishing economically unattractive.
Tolkien was a scholar, and also a deeply devout Roman Catholic from a young age. He stated that "The Lord of the Rings is a fundamentally religious and Catholic work." In personal letters to family members he related mystical experiences while praying before the Blessed Sacrament.

His varied life experiences, such as being a soldier in World War I, surely had an influence on his novels, but the bigger picture is that LotR explores aspects of the Redemption (Christ's victory over evil) while avoiding overt allegory and symbolism.
The article says that there needs to be large scale commercial lionfish hunting to actually solve the problem.
> Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. (...) -- Ingersoll
Right, I made a mistake, fixed it, tagged with [edited out "he"] so it wasn't a stealth edit. Now re-edited to just say [edited], since that's also causing unintended issues.

I'm not trying to invalidate anything, had no idea of the background. It was just a mistake, nothing more.
I'm not sure why wasn't that blatantly obvious until today. Chess is an extremely unsuitable sport for online because you are 100% free to use the strongest computers on it without 100% no cheat protection at all. It should be ..100% restricted to person-to-person tournaments for keeping score.

I assume a lot of of it is people with the latest/greatest gear for "prepper" use doing live-fire testing against hogs, not so much people buying gear solely for addressing hogs. (I have pvs-31/gen3 and a separate thermal monocular, trying to get an eCoti or make a clone of one, and am super into the new digital stuff for sensor fusion, but while I'd love to go hog hunting, it's not primarily stuff I've bought for the purpose of shooting hogs. A good "tell" here is people who don't run full-time IR illuminator to be realistic training against adversaries who might themselves have NV)
none of them are capable of dry humor

Bill Murray, Nick Offerman, and Steven Wright would all like a word.
I think the quote attributed to Muhammad Ali is pretty apt here:

“don’t trust anyone who’s nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position.”

Web servers exist already. Does what you’re describing exist?
As someone who has worked a few service jobs: oh god please don't start a conversation with me if I'm on my lonesome. This advice needs a huge sticker that says 'mileage may vary'.

Not everyone wants the silence to be punctuated with smalltalk.
I feel like there is room for an underground torrent scene to re-cut awful films and tv shows - especially the ones that excessively interleave different stories, spreading out the meat with lots of bland filler. Maybe we can have our own personal ML models do this in future "Cut out all the scenes with this character + put the whole show on a linear timeline + max interleaved character timelines = 2 per show"
Developing Software with Fewer Bugs
Depends on the neighborhood. Most of the urban core of the Bay Area dates to somewhere between the 1920s and 50s. The suburban stuff (a.k.a. everything else) maybe thirty-odd years later, and there was another wave after shuttered military bases started getting redeveloped. In Oakland, the building I'm in was built in the early 2010s. In Marin, Hamilton AFB got a bunch of tract housing in the late 90s. Treasure Island and the BVHP Navy Yard in San Francisco are still under development.

Per the wiki article (since I'm too lazy to go to the library), California was first in the nation with energy efficiency standards in 1974 and currently has the lowest energy consumption per capita in the United States. However lax things were in the early 80s in California, things were/are more lax in Texas.
>I'm saying everyone including you participates in this fake BS. As if being nice to the janitor solves the fundamental problem. It just covers it up.

Are you're saying that unless other folks make as much money as you do, they should not be treated with simple human respect, because doing so points up the inequality in our society?

Wow.

Being kind to the folks around you has nothing to do with wealth/income inequality or other issues in our society.

Rather, it's about our shared humanity.

What's more, being kind (or at least polite) is the least you could do. If you're not willing to do so unless that other person has something you want, what does that say about you?

I'm not telling you what to do, think or say, but I hope i never meet you.
as a tech guy who comes from a family of blue collar and service industry workers I always have to laugh a little bit about pieces like this. It always reads like someone just went on a safari and found an exotic animal or found themselves in Good Will Hunting. Like, more than half of the population doesn't have a college degree. Store clerk, janitor, delivery driver etc are the most common jobs around, I always wonder how people manage to dodge all of them.

That said I don't think the piece is that bad because the author at least genuinely seems to try and to be kind, there are quite a few people in the industry who are genuinely callous.
I've tried a variety of the newer fake meats like impossible and beyond. They were pretty good and novel at the beginning but think I ultimately prefer tofu, seitan, and black bean/traditional Boca style meat substitutes.
Not sure what it is about Beyond meats but I now find them a bit nauseating and just very highly processed.
Yes, I get how the A-series paper sizes work, and that they prioritise having all sizes be the same aspect ratio. That has literally nothing to do with what I'm talking about in my post. It turns out that paper "works" for things other than resizing other sheets of paper.
I just checked a few of my latest CD rips. The FLAC rip is 9-10x as large as the Opus 128bit files. One EP was 338MB as FLAC and 33.1MB as Opus.

On the go, the listening environment is far from perfect, so Opus is fine. I still want the FLAC files on my NAS as an archive or for listening in a better environment in my home.
My alarms are to wake me up so I can sleep sometimes. Hopefully they alert me without alerting the raiders. I would be intending to shoot them, not the other way around.

As a billionaire, I believe I would have built some fortified positions to fire from without much chance of being hit myself.

Also I doubt I'll have any kind of obvious entrance to wherever I am.

Even on my own real-life property (I'm not a billionaire), I'm not just going to be like...in the living room. In an end-of-the-world scenario, I'll be camping discreetly somewhere on my own property, which is mostly a hardwood forest with a pretty dense understory. It wouldn't be any more inviting than hundreds of thousands of similar acres, so security through obscurity is pretty good.

I'll have access to all the tools I need, a house, my own water source. I'm not particularly likely to survive on my own permanently, but I think I've got a shot to wait out a storm for a year or two.
A full ban, or "a quota of zero" is much more observable and enforcable than keeping track of individuals' permits and catch limits. Not here for enabling more violence on behalf of the enforcer class, but this argument didnt make much sense to me
Just look at the death counts, COVID-19 is killing 10x more people than the flu per year. You realize over a million Americans are dead in two years from COVID-19, right? The flu in a similar timespan kills ~100k. Right now COVID-19 is the #3 killer of Americans, period. Right behind heart disease and cancer. Doesn't seem comparable to the flu _at all_.
No where did I advocate for veganism or anything like that. I wouldn’t ever want to push for anything like that. Im suggesting people eat less meat, not zero meat. But it doesn’t really matter what I say, we’ll either figure out how to get their voluntarily, or it will be forced on us by nature with immense suffering.
>What more do you want?

My bad, I made the assumption that you could actually back up your statements. I will take this as your way of saying, "Uncle."
> I prefer not to use free services because they're not sustainable, and they usually come with strings attached

When I checked Dreamhost several years ago, I found that it was also an oversold service that relied on most customers using way less than the promised capacity. This doesn’t mean that it’s bad at hosting websites, but it’s not something I wanted to pay for.

So I hosted my websites with Nearly Free Speech (NFSN), where hosting is actually by what you consume. For small static sites, you could get a lot more mileage with NFSN and still not pay more than a couple of dollars a month. It’s a lot cheaper than your Dreamhost plan, and is truly sustainable because NFSN gets very close to recovering its costs plus a little more to sustain, grow and become better. NFSN also doesn’t have tricks like referral programs and other special discounts, unlike Dreamhost (talking from what I’ve seen about Dreamhost in the past).

The major downside is it doesn’t have cPanel and fancy application installers. But that shouldn’t be an issue for people who would use scp to setup web pages on a host.
Do you think your sausages are being made from wild pigs?
As I recall it was around 18-19%. And I did some years of strength training before that. The quality ranged from couple of weeks of good ones to months of almost nothing. So to answer I'd say somewhere in between.
>In total Wheel of Time was terrible, and didn't look good. Rings at least has some good visuals.

It looks good so far, except for one huge problem, which I think is by far the biggest problem with the whole show so far: the lens flares.
Gas prices are expected to continue falling and some states could see below $3
The Maple Films edit version of The Hobbit was a very good movie.
You sound like you're suicidal or suffering severe depression if you have that little care for your own life or future.
There seem to be three types of review on there.

1. Hur hur, rubbish. 1 star (There are seriously reviews like that)

2. This isn't Lord of the Rings. 1 star

3. I really loved how they took that piece from the Silmarillion and explored the concept. 5 star

The people giving it low ratings don't appear to know the source materials. Disclaimer - I have not yet seen it so I am witholding judgement, but the reviews are embarrassing.
Ideally you’d use matched historical controls from before 2019. Depending on the study, that’s a common source for “controls”. But it depends on using measurements/diagnoses that are roughly standard.

For example, prior to 2019, 30-40 years old made up X% or people diagnosed with a cardiomyopathy. Post 2020, that number is Y%.

I must've missed that, sorry. I was a tad annoyed and maybe I got a bit carried away. At any rate, at least some people, IMHO, misused the [flag] feature. I've seen it on a few other occasions too (and happened to a story from my blog, which was entirely unflagworthy but got flagged due to sour grapes) which is why I have showdead on in the first place.

I watched up till the intro credits of episode one. It seems... OK?

It makes me miss old Amazon prime where they'd use the $200M to fund dozens of risky shows from up and coming directors.

Even if 90% ended up being terrible, they'd still end up with multiple shows that I'd enjoy more than one big budget production.
I don't think the mortality rate needs to correspond to the incidence of long term effects.
Galadriel is searching for Sauron, whom she believes is still hiding and plotting. Her entire plot is about everyone telling her the threat is gone but she (and the viewers) clearly see that’s not the case.

Elrond is trying to recruit the dwarves to help build the forge to create the rings.

The comet guy I’ll grant you is the show’s one mystery, granted, but I have a feeling he’s going to have something to do with the reemergence of Sauron and the creation of the rings.
When you put a halt to all reviews it's because you are afraid of bad reviews. And this "but no, these bad reviews are insincere" stuff is pure malarkey. I know it, you know it, my cat knows it.

Amazon isn't fooling anybody.
> A4 is 1/24 m2, so a sheet of 80gsm paper in A4 size weighs exactly 80/24 or 5g.

I hope they were more precise with the maps than they were with the calculations (A4 is 1/16 m2, and then 80/16=5). :)
Too bad it's not what we got.
Note that California leads the nation in EV adoption and still has an enviably low per-capita electric habit. And before you start jumping up and down that the map shows an increase in consumption from 2019 to 2020, keep in mind that the whole southwest is grey in large part because of the warmer summers.

I went to an American private high school that also did this, although not everyone was thorough, so they had custodians clean every so often. In retrospect, it was kind of cool.
If only Earth was a little bit smaller.
Exactly. It was a lot to take in in the first few episodes. The alternative would have been an extra season or two, and probably would have been boring.

I always have to advise people, when I recommend The Expanse to them, to make sure to sit through the first 3-4 episodes even if they don't feel like they're really getting hooked. By the time they get to episode 4, they're hooked.
Whenever I notice someone doing menial work, I try to say something like "Thanks for looking out for us" or "Thanks for taking care of us"

I don't know all the names of the security and janitorial folks, but I do know a few.
I would add:

* disallow registration with disposable email addresses (increases the cost for fraudsters). See: https://github.com/disposable/disposable

* disallow or flag transactions depending on ip-rating services. See: https://iphub.info/api (you could cache sketchy addresses to prevent exceeding the requests/day limit)
Personal opinion, 'int' is way above NULL as a bad idea.
HBO (Discovery+?) should sue and claim damages for trust-related preferential treatment.

This is clearly an instance of a multi-industry-spanning giant preferring its own content. They're giving it away for free / as a loss leader, and yet they were able to spend enormous institutional capital on it.

How can any production company compete?

This is overwhelmingly monopolistic.
Any comparison to House of the Dragon? I'm liking it so far (as one who liked GOT, but hated the last season like most I know).
I found the first episode very long drawn and boring. Wanted to leave a review but Amazon told me: "please watch till the end to leave a review". Not going to torture myself just to leave a review.

So that's a novel way to keep the reviews artificially high, I guess.
Are there any studies demonstrating an observable difference in such a scenario?
That is quite the logical jump. OP might just prefer not to worry about it anymore, which honestly seems to be the case for most people these days. Two years is a long time to be ultra-careful about everything.
The tournament Carlsen withdrew from today isn't an online event. All the games are played in person at the St. Louis Chess Club.

This entire study should never have made it through peer review for this alone:

> The effect of vaccination was not systematically assessed. In total, 144 participants received an mRNA vaccination between the baseline and the follow-up scan. We performed separate analyses for participants with vaccination as well as for participants without vaccination. The results were not different from the findings of the full cohort as presented. The cardiac effects of vaccination require further research.

144 out of 346 total participants is statistically significant, but this number only includes people who received a vaccine dose between the baseline and the follow-up. The study makes no mention of people who received a vaccine dose before the baseline measurement. Since the baseline group covered people who got COVID between April 2020 and October 2021, there is a high likelihood that even more people were vaccinated before they were selected to participate in the study. Therefore, it’s impossible to prove if the cardiac related issues have to do with COVID or the vaccine.

In addition, two of the three authors of this study received speaker fees and grants from Bayer AG who helped develop and manufacture COVID vaccines in Europe.
> In fact, you lost me at "static site generator". WTF? Just write the damn HTML and CSS yourself, it's static after all.

At a minimum, static site generators create indexes, table-of-contents, tags, sorts by date, and other such features.

Pretty much no one writes good, raw, HTML these days. Documentation is written Sphinx, texinfo, docbook, and many other formats. Why? Because compiling chapters (or pages) together through static analysis is a very useful pattern for writing.

HTML is just an output pattern. Your actual words should be in a document generator at a minimum.
> It makes me miss old Amazon prime where they'd use the $200M to fund dozens of risky shows from up and coming directors.

Seems like a standard trajectory for new independent streaming services at this point. First you make art, then you make content.
The truth is somewhere in between.

Metrics are great to diagnose the overall process and get a sense of what's going on that can be superior to our qualitative feels about it.

And metrics can also spot an occasional outlier or performance problem. Used sparingly, this does not encourage juicing the numbers.
If you are setting “midrange objectives” for a quarter, you are basically saying “I estimate I will complete this much work in the quarter”, because you are estimating you can complete enough work to meet the objective in a quarter. Either the objective is easy enough that the estimate doesn’t have to be that accurate to still meet it, or the objective is not specific enough to require an accurate estimate.

I actually mostly agree with the comment I was replying to, I just think the “set goals for a longer period of time” was not filling in the whole picture. You can’t just set the same types of goals you had when you were making sprint estimations, stretch them out to be quarter estimations, and expect the problem to go away.
You are giving way too much credit to moving money = doing stuff as the cause of failure of macro economics. There's so much wrong with macro. Check out Steve Keens' The New Econmics: A manifesto for some of the major things wrong with macro.
It is not conflating it. One of the people who committed suicide wrote in their suicide note that it was because of the cyberbullying on KF. And there's multi thousand thread pages with bodyshaming and Photoshopped images and so on. This is not just criticism. Open your eyes.
His tweet included a video of a famous interview with Jose Mourinho saying “if I speak I am in big trouble”
I've been avoiding people since this all began. I haven't gotten it yet. I'm in very good health, very fit and lean, but I keep seeing people I know are more fit than I am get sick, like Dr. Mike Israetel just recently got symptomatic covid again. Not many people are as fit as he is. I honestly think the only reason I haven't gotten sick yet is because I largely avoid people. Going to keep avoiding it until people stop getting sick from it.
Right on hope that's good for the people that need it most. but good riddance I'm still paying 6.90/gal for biodiesel in seattle right now. as a consumer the prices have just seemed hyped due to the Ukraine war even if most/all(?) of the petrol products in my region are produced "domestically". and biodiesel prices just track about a quarter more than petrol diesel
A full ban would be much much easier to enforce. You see a fishing boat? It gets a military escort out of your national waters. You see the same boat again? It gets blown up.

Compare with having to board a random sample of boats (and there'd be a lot, because a lot of them would be legitimate), check documents, check catch totals etc.
My point was that more than establishment scenes have happened and it is only two episodes.
Ah, my good friends the Fresnel integrals (functions plotting the Euler spiral, also known as clothoid and Cornu spiral) are there in Chapter 7. One of the things I'm proud of is having better techniques for evaluating short sections of that spiral than just computing the functions a la Abramowitz and Stegun (also with good implementations in the cephes library), though of course that does work.
> It's sad to me that "western" cooking is so focused on meat as the centerpiece to cooking.

I wonder if that's for historical reasons. I'd assume that in previous centuries, only wealthy people would have the means to afford getting a cook that would be able to pass on their recipes in written form. As such, the recipes that survived would be the ones that would have access to expensive ingredients like meat and spices.

At least on the French side of things, Carême and Escoffier are very influential in classical French cuisine, and their audience was wealthy people, not commoners.

I think indoor/raceway farmed fish is the future, once we work out sustainable food sources, eg insects.

I'm not sure how credible that is for marine species, but I'm sure it's possible for some, and we don't have to completely cut fish from our diets.

In the meantime, I agree, we should be banning the sale/import of some species of fish.
What they're espousing is pure nihilism, AKA "if I die, I die". It's not a good attitude with a novel virus that has killed over a million folks in America so far! It's not hard to take simple mitigations like mask wearing to prevent catching it or prevent getting reinfected over and over from it.
So basically they are openly admitting to censoring their user reviews on cultural/political grounds. Cool to know
These days any negative opinion is trolling I guess.
I think no one should be forced to do anything unless the law says otherwise. And even then it should be clearly argumented for.
