> pretending being rich and famous is bad is cope. sure tell yourself all those rich people are "poor in spirit" whatever that means.

I don't think that's what the author is saying. Being rich and famous is fine(well, plenty of people would disagree on the famous part https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/bill_murray_411631) , wanting to be rich and famous at the expense of your own mental health, when you're probably not in a position to become so is not, especially when it causes you to disengage with your own desires, rather than engage more fully.
‘Not always’. Sure, trees are enduring, nice to look at, make things cooler and might help with carbon dioxide. Let’s plant them anyway.
Do these people even hear the words coming out of their mouth? How doesn't this ring some "alarm bells" in their mind... Imagine reducing PLAYERS in a game to NPCs and thinking that's okay.

They're the real NPCs of the world. Probably the generic "Cultist" trash mob you can't even bother to engage in games.
If you're looking for temporary respite, I have some suggestions.

In my area, sensory deprivation 'spas' are coming back, there's a (local?) chain called float that has been advertising.

Recording studios are heavily sound isolated, and most cities have some. Sort of odd to book an hour and just sit, but maybe they've got some weird holes in their schedule.

If either of those two work, and you have control over your living space, you could pursue home versions of that.

A weekend trip to a nearby national park or the like can be pretty quiet.

Personally, I live in a semi-rural area which reduces the human noises to mostly only my family. But there's still airplanes of all sizes flying overhead, and really loud vehicles far away, and ferry horns. My neighbor's dog sometimes gets in our yard and barks and I can hear our rooster and at least two neighbors (they crow all day, not just at sunrise). Then there's birds and coyotes and what not. Not entirely quiet but close.
That’s certainly an idea. People hate taxes though and I feel like the “tax the rich” movement can only go so far in this country. Would love to see some mergers blocked and companies broken up
War on the rocks can sometimes read as Officers deploying big words (they are often the authors).

But, good points in all.

Context on this isn’t just DJT, it’s a significant rot across all of those points since Iraq/Afghanistan started but it dates back to Vietnam.

First, The military internally was getting partisan in uncomfortable ways when I served. Mike Flynn or Mastriano in PA are the craziest example of this, but below the very professional wall of senior leadership, quite a lot of f-Obama and go-Trump went on in carefully angled speech. The junior officer who knew enough to be dangerous but still had a bachelors degree from Phoenix U in criminal justice were large offenders, paired with junior soldiers and their first line leadership from rural wherever.

“Civilian control is exercised within the legislative branch” disappeared as a concept a few years into Iraq/Afg. Authorizations for use of military force (ie congress votes to go to war) were replaced by repeat deployments directed via shady or at least very out of date authorizations. This started in Vietnam. Congress, and by extent the people, seemed to forget there was a war going on after 2006 or so, or take half measures that resulted in danger for deployed service members (what President Obama was accused of most internally).

Judicial branch - UCMJ exists for a very good reason, and there’s been more noise and criticism vs substance and nuance about why that should change, again resulting in a very confusing set of norms to navigate for the Commander.

Yes, all the Miley <> DJT stuff was ugly. Miley should go down in our history as a Soldier’s Soldier who navigated that all safely. When I got concerned over the last couple years, I’d look to Miley for a rough temp check on how bad it was getting. The more he left total silence and started targeted and veiled pushback against DJT, the more concerning it was.

Mutual trust - again, seems like people forgot there was a war (2 wars) on. Poor urban and poor rural and a handful of idealistic middle/upper class went on repeat deployments for years and suffered limbs and divorces. Seems like civilians checked out right around when the halftime show with a large flag ended.

Law enforcement - cops cosplay soldiers, soldiers join law enforcement and think they’re still soldiers, military vehicles and TA-50 end up on cops patrolling neighborhoods.

Public role - there hasn’t been a universally loud “disbarring” of Michael Flynn. DJT and “his generals.”

Elections - when Jan 6 happened, high speed units that usually are in and out of Africa or Middle East had to consult the manuals on if what was happening in DC counted as a special situation. That it even got this close is very bad.
I hated college. I never finished for the frogs. But I'm a lifelong reader. I don't regret failing to get a degree, but I regret that I wasn't in the right mindset and that I could have used the time to create meaning.

Hmm i've had bad experiences with kubuntu too back when I tried it. More so than any other distro commonly utilising kde at least. Configs seemed broken by default or just weird.

I dare say it's not properly maintained.
As I understand it "download more ram" was a stupid advertisement for a real and effective thing. Downloading a utility that uses compressed ram as swap space, allowing for greater effective memory usage.

You can still do this today, on linux, where it isn't the default for some reason. Though downloading anything isn't necessary. Run the following as root.

modprobe zram
echo lz4 >> /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
echo 128G >> /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap --label zram0 /dev/zram0
swapon --priority 100 /dev/zram0

Then go compile something that requires 2x the amount of ram actually in your system and watch it "just work". I recommend cvc5 if you're looking for something that takes way too much ram while compiling (make -j16 got me up to 100GB before I killed it... on a 32GB system): https://cvc5.github.io/docs/cvc5-1.0.2/installation/installa...

I suppose "download more crypto" could be a real thing too, it's just called "mining" for some reason.
I used to work at a BitTorrent monitoring company, “often used for piracy” is a very favourable explanation.

99.9999% of torrent activity is piracy. My guess is that’s the reason.
It's essentially the same question as the original question - how can you afford to only work when you want?
Replying to myself because I guess I care too much about this, but both DS9 and the Battlestar Galactica remakes were heavily inspired by what B5 did.

People say the Sopranos ushered in the 'golden age of TV' and I woudlnt deny it had larger mass appeal, but shows like B5 did it first.

While it's a good point that plant sequestration of CO2 is slow compared to digging up coal, oil or methane and burning it, it's not meaningless.
Well, let me put it this way. I have "concerns" about Grammarly. Because of that, I don't use the browser plugin or keyboard apps. I use it through the web app to proofread things I publish publicly anyway.

You say there are better options, like what? I've tried others, and I've found nothing as good as Grammarly.
The toggles to turn off this feature (as well as Find my in general) do stop this.
They went to trash because containers are more convenient to use and saving few MBs of disk/memory is not what most users care.

The whole idea was pretty much either use custom kernel (which inevitably have way less info on how to debug anything in it), and re-do all of the network and storage plumbing containers already do via the OS they are running one.

OR just very slim linux one which at least people know how to use but STILL is more complexity than "just a blob with some namespaces in it" and STILL requires a bunch of config and data juggling between hypervisor and VM just to share some host files to the guest.

Either way to get to the level of "just a slim layer of code between hypervisor and your code" you need to do a quite a lot of deep plumbing and when anything goes wrong debugging is harder. All to get some perceived security and no better performance than just... running the binary in a container.

It did percolate into "slim containers" idea where the container is just statically compiled binary + few configs and while it does have same problems with debuggability, you can just attach sidecart to it

I guess next big hype will be "VM bUt YoU RuN WebAsSeMbLy In CuStOm KeRnEl"
I don't think this is a great explanation. I could build a machine that would get rid of 200 red balls (out of a million) in 30 minutes. It's a linearly parallelizable problem, so with enough machines, I could make it go as quickly as you'd like.
They already can't keep up (DLSS has always been better), but not having to buy a new nVidia core for FSR is a massive selling point for the technology. Even Steam Deck supports it.
Impossible to tell and most likely no one in the company will have answers for a while - so get used to that.

It takes a long time to figure out details to a point where your questions can be answered, that's common in all acquisitions so don't despair.
Even if it is a little worse, NO ONE is shelling out $600 for an InReach after this announcement.

I hate the author’s snarky arrogant voice. Like nails on a chalkboard.
Lately - it seems we're all caught between 2 worlds:

1. If you over focus on impact the quality of your product gets torn to shreds. You've built great direction but do people really use/like your product?

2. You build for engagement, people use the thing, but what impact did it drive?

This article is great, but it's unbalanced potentially. I think directionally, some average in the middle is likely the way - so why not both? And while we're add it, add in other indicators. Success metrics that balance all of that, plus just a vibe metric for good measure.
Unsourced comments that cite unsourced comments... this is exactly how FUD spreads.

I agree that it's clear that Google wants to reduce the amount of extensions that users opt in to having access to their entire web browsing data. I don't think that's a psychological trick: I think it's very clear that most users don't understand that every single extension they install might have these permissions, and instead just click past the generic permissions dialogue that Google shows.

I don't think that that translates to "Google's clearly signalled that they don't want Adblockers to use "read/write data on all websites"". What Google has clearly signaled is that they want users to be able to opt in to using this permission for the extensions that are most important to them, and that they want extensions to gracefully degrade when those permissions are not available. For most users, that's going to be ad blockers: basic features work without full site access, and advanced features are available with more site access. That seems like a good thing to me, not a reason to rip those advanced features out all together.
This looks really neat! Do you define "Products" anywhere? It would be cool to have categories like 'Most discussed cars|phones|computers|movies|websites|etc'. The nerd that I am would love 'Most discussed programming languages on *'

...So you want to sue voters for wanting cheap energy in 1997?

The rut that Europe is now in is the direct result of the following:

- Until very recently[0], energy demands could only be met with a significant amount of fossil fuels. Europe is notoriously poor in fossil fuel reserves[1] and must import them.

- Fossil fuels are fungible in substance but not in location. A barrel of oil is a barrel of oil, but oil in Saudi Arabia is not oil in Germany. Transport adds cost, and the cheapest and safest way to transport oil is with a pipeline.

- Out of all of Europe's close neighbors, Russia has the biggest fossil fuel reserve. There really isn't a suitable "backup supplier" that could bring fuel in cheaply.

- People and politicians in 1997 assumed economic ties with Russia would put their military on a leash in the same way that the ECSC, EEC, and EU had put West Germany's military on a leash.

That last consideration might seem quaint given that Russia invaded Ukraine, but globalization was something that had already worked in Europe and people thought it was exportable.

Even then, it might still work out. The economic problems Europe is looking at are nothing compared to the damage that the current slate of broad sanctions have done and are doing to Russia. Europe is looking at one particularly cold winter, but Russia is seeing a slow-motion economic collapse on the same scale as the collapse of the Soviet Union. The real mistake was not that we built Nord Stream, but that we waited until 2022 to actually punish Putin for invading Russia's neighbors.

[0] Specifically, cheap solar and wind did not exist in 1997 and nuclear was and still is expensive to build.

[1] This is also why the US is obsessed with oil. Running out of it was one of the deciding factors in the fall of Nazi Germany.
Their refusal to tell him why he was banned or give him an appeal process means this 'apology' was bullshit from the get go.

Not only flat vs curved buyers but it can add flexibility in usage too. Maybe I want to put the monitor on a table and use it as a TV for a while (maybe a friend's kids are over and I want to put a TV in the corner). This way the same device can switch between a single-person curved display or a wider-viewing-angle flat display in seconds.

Sure, it is a niche use case, but why not?

Even the paywalled sites still have ads behind the paywalls, though. I bought a digital subscription to a prominent, reputable news magazine recently. I paid as much as they would let me pay. And still the text of every article was interspersed three or four times with utter crap "advertisement". I mean "eat this one fruit to clean your liver" level of banner. I'm not going to bother paying if I also still have to deal with that sludge.
Economy != market, or trade, and implies some deliberate ordering, regulation, and (probably) nurturing.

In Tristan Gooley's The Walker’s Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs, he recounts how he traveled to (IIRC) Papua New Guinea to learn more about...outdoor clues and signs... from native people there. Suffice to say, a lot of it is actually just bullshit, but then the parts that aren't BS give some people seeming superpowers in the jungle.
I never said MHT are a solution for offline checks. That is a completely different problem space.

In the space domain, satellite ground systems have used a combination of guards, one way transmission, and others, although I am in favor of system-specific certificate whitelisting via running OCSP with local VAs, backed up by smart clients, with CRLs on the filesystem and in network shares.

CRL processing can cause timeouts, which is why it is always less preferred than the much more lightweight OCSP by comparison.

Furthermore, CRLs are blacklists, and newer OCSP is not exclusively, and, OCSP permits more flexibility with the various trust models that exist for it.
I see nothing dubious about putting the money printing machine to work on New Deal-type infrastructure and public works projects, green energy, etc., rather than using it to pump up asset prices and effectively direct transfer money to the very richer.
Don't forget his strong family ties to psychotic Japanese fascism and racism [1,2], and his personal affinity for heinous war crimes and human experimentation in Imperial Japan [3].

I know the Japanese aren't exactly excited to take responsibility for their role in WW2, but good for them all the same for seeing through this guy's bullshit. Every now and then these lone nuts get it right, I guess?

A user's engagement with your product is a great metric, because what you value is users using your product.

But for a COMMUNITY it's the wrong metric, because you don't value negative comments in your Slack no matter how many there are (in fact, the more there are the worse it is).
https://savvycal.com/ has this feature.
I believe some driving sims support extra wide field of view so that you see the sides of the car interior. I’ve seen that with a multi monitor “curved” set up but I’m not sure if a true curved monitor is curved enough for that illusion. Mine is pretty subtle, maybe 15-20 degrees total
I think you can generalize this problem to just about any subject, or any kind of story telling. e.g. Herodotus' Histories has these digressions (I've sometimes seen them called 'pendants', which I really like), which can also be nested. i.e. time is not mapped linearly to the text, the text jumps around in time (and space) to provide context to the main narrative (and sometimes to provide context to the context). Digressions also appear in Homer.

So you can think of the story elements as a kind of graph that have to be flattened into a linear structure, and to perform this flattening well is the art of good story-telling.
By that reasoning shouldn't encryption also be banned?
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/OceanCarbon

'Oceans take up carbon dioxide through photosynthesis by plant-like organisms (phytoplankton), as well as by simple chemistry: carbon dioxide dissolves in water. It reacts with seawater, creating carbonic acid. Carbonic acid releases hydrogen ions, which combine with carbonate in seawater to form bicarbonate, a form of carbon that doesn’t escape the ocean easily'.

We need to be doing more to enhance the performance of the half of the planet that is covered by water and which is the primary source of carbon dioxide processing imo
Its probably a joke until the author needs some money lol
"storage is only assured as long as nobody decides to chop down the forest"

In 2020 "the Lionshead Fire [...] have almost completely engulfed the largest forest dedicated to sequestering carbon dioxide in the state [of Oregon]". Turns out that Nature may also decide to destroy a forest. Biomass comes and goes. As you stated, geostorage is the only solution that makes sense from a first principles perspective.

I know you're joking, but that would just result in a pretty-much black screen, no matter how much white was thrown at it :)
The bijection you are looking for might be the evangelical groups in the US (including some politicians) who support Israel because they believe that if all jews return there, the eschaton will begin.

One of the most interesting sunscreen metrics is mentioned completely unceremoniously on the last page of the Final Order Monograph 2020.

It is sad that we don't have access to the critical wavelength value calculations described on the last page of Monograph M020. The critical wavelength is identified as the wavelength at which the integral of the spectral absorbance curve reaches 90 percent of the integral over the UV spectrum from 290 to 400 nm. A mean critical wavelength of 370 nm or greater is classified as broad spectrum protection.

Sunscreen users could benefit from understanding the UV blocking performance of each sunscreen on the market.
