Dude.

If "diet and exercise" were the only thing physicians did to treat these diseases, have you tried to think about the internal consistency of your "and at the same time, this is 90% of healthcare costs" argument?

Have you, even for a moment, considered your own statement that your doctor prescribed you statins? Did this not lead you, for a brief nanosecond, to ponder that "maybe other people get treatment beyond diet and exercise too"?

Also, did it occur to you your nows on argument 3? "It's obesity". "It's metabolic diseases". "Actually, I'd like to argue there's no treatment outside of diet and exercise".
No idea, sorry. The phone has NFC but whether your bank has an app you can get without the Google Play Store is dependent on your bank, but often not the case. If these are deal-breakers to you then it's going to hard to recommend all-in with /e/OS at the moment. You could also try it and revert to Fairphone OS, they do support that, but presumably it's a non-trivial and time-consuming thing.

You could try running /e/OS on Anbox to get a feel of it and what can and can't be done? That's probably the simplest way forward.

It might not be a solution on its own, but you can get a little ways with compressed air energy storage (CAES). There's a bit of discussion on how it can scale up and down to various sizes of installation around the internet[1] but I don't know how much actual storage you get in terms of kilowatt hours.

But used as a part of a more robust system, I think there's promise here. The other type of low-chemical physical potential energy storage that gets some attention nowadays is pumping water to a higher location, only to let it out via a hydro generator later. Not sure how that scales into winter though. (actually air tanks might lose a certain amount of pressure to cold as well; perhaps buried tanks would work better, so that the ambient temp is cooler?)

It's fun to apply this pattern to other types of gravity-based energy. Maybe take excess in the summer and use it to ratchet your water tower up higher, or roll a large boulder up a hill? Or force two magnets really close together :p

> Or just bootstrap, since their costs are lower, free healthcare, etc.

Germany does not have free healthcare. From the employer side, the employer is responsible for paying 7.5% of employees income. Among numerous other taxes you’ll need to pay for each employee you bring on.

I think a lot of it is probably just the language barrier for YC specifically. Not that German founders don’t speak English, but it’s a whole different ball game trying to fund a startup and hire talent in a country where prospective industry contacts and even employees will need to speak German in order to really feel at home. Not to mention a different regulatory environment. That’s not to say there aren’t accelerators focusing on Germany, because there are. But building such a network when YC is based in the US isn’t an overnight thing.

Whereas in the US/UK it’s really trivial to find support, contacts, and devs from all over the world who are willing to relocate just by nature of the fact that the local native language is one they already know.
I can answer this question as someone currently living in a pretty walkable city. Most of the time I just stop by the grocery store on my way to or from somewhere else and pick up a few things. City grocery stores tend to have pretty short lines because a lot of other people are doing the same, so you don’t have to wait for 5 people to empty a full cart in front of you. (The exception being Whole Foods somehow, I think the fact that it has a giant parking garage catering to drivers has something to do with it.)

If I do need to make a larger trip, I bring a folding wagon. It’s less convenient than just stopping by on my way home from something else but there are two full grocery stores within a 5 minute walk of home so it’s no big deal. Same as before, minimal lines.

I’m about to move to the suburbs where the nearest large grocery store will be a 7-minute bike away, so I’m planning to get a front-loader cargo bike like the Urban Arrow: https://na.urbanarrow.com/family-bikes/

…though while it is that short of a trip taking a direct route, that route seems somewhat inhospitable outside of a car, so in practice I might have to take some long detours. The town’s supposedly planning to put in bicycle infrastructure at some point, but I think that’ll be my rallying cry once I move there. :)

> People who are ending up as managers are rarely highly trained in the job or receiving a ton of support.

You are saying these things as though they are simple truths that I am just supposed to accept. But I do not.

People who end up as managers are selected for their potential and receive lots of support, more often than not.

Often attracting great personalities since the job is about interfacing with people, more often than not.

It's always someone who wants to do management, whether or not they want to continue engineering, more often than not.

> Imagine if we hired engineers because someones friend thought it sounded interesting and they had to do all their learning on the job.

Yea, sounds terrible. It's a darn good thing we don't hire engineers or managers like this.
This is not how fiction writing works, specifically. The hugest fans of fiction writers are other fiction writers. There is a desire by writers to see every other writer succeed just because they love seeing others' work. In my subfield, multiple award-winning authors have rescinded their candidacy for internationally-recognized awards simply because they want other authors they're a fan of to get the spotlight instead.
If you want a real conspiracy theory, recall that original and long-running KF thread subject Christine Weston Chandler was persuaded to incestuously assault her mother by a person named Isabella Janke.

> This is why the majority of homeschool parents do it.

I strongly doubt that. It may have been true at some point, I don't know. It was certainly my stereotype growing up several decades ago. But now that I'm homeschooling and in contact with numerous other homeschooling families, I haven't really seen it. At all.

Other areas could certainly be different. Here, in the SF Bay Area, it's mostly about parents who see their kids just not thriving in one way or another at traditional school, and not really having any effective levers to do something about it while staying within the system. So yeah, there's an element of control, but only of the environment and opportunities available. Especially today, I'm skeptical that controlling the landscape of their peers' opinions is even possible. I guess it is for younger kids, when you could restrict their access to devices for anything but academic purposes. But generally there's just too much stuff to be doing in your own life and setting up and managing the kids' classes and activities—it'd be tough to micromanage their beliefs and values or whatever even if you wanted to. It's not that different from traditional schooling in the end.

I don't think "hospital administration" is really an analogy that helps your argument since the growth of that sector has a significant share of the blame for rising healthcare costs and all kinds of other issues. Some level of support and oversight is needed but it seems to frequently grow to the point where it becomes a net negative.
Kinda makes sense to me that the wealthy might be the astronauts of this thinking.

My experience being voluntarily without home (and living in parks) tells me that erecting a barrier between your work and your material needs, that allows you to more objectively assess the personal value of the work. You need to run experiments of sorts, and imho it's hard to have that liberty to truly A/B test unless the requirements of normal work are relieved (whether through wealth or minimized needs).

In some ways, I felt more kinship with the wealthy and retired when I was being a hobo of sorts.

I brought to attention the c++ ABI issue to godot devs for the elf/linux platform, and the workarounds are the "-static-libstdc++" "-static-libgcc" options, that linked with a VERY bloody old glibc (because the static libstdc++ has no libdl mode, and some libgcc services as well).

But I did not check, what is the glibc version in the build environment they do provide? Because it has to be REALLY old (the culprit are gcc and glibc devs, not godot devs).

15 miles to a store? What kind of people drive that far to pick up so few items? Perhaps doing the big shopping you can go that far, but I definitely buy more stuff than 6 limes when I drive that far.

Also, I wasn't comparing the cost of shipping lime from south america to europe, but I was comparing it with the cost of shipping limie from south america to vietnam to do the packaging and then back to europe to do the consuming which is more than double the pollution. You need to unload the ships, move the trucks to the places where people do the packaging, move the goods back into a ship, unload the stuff again, drive it all the way to other warehouses etc etc

I wasn't talking about this particular ability. I was talking about the risk of browsers being effectively operating systems in their own right. That puts me in an untenable position -- I have to determine the safety of every web site, which is a thing that is effectively impossible to do.

> with complete user control.

Not even close. I have to install and use several addons in order to muster a somewhat reasonable amount of control. And even then, the control I have is far from "complete".

> it's far better from a security perspective because trusting a browser's sandbox is a lot easier to evaluate than having to individually review every native application you install.

It's certainly easier to "trust the sandbox", except that the sandbox allows far too much nefarious activity in order to be able to trust it.

Modern web browsers are inherently problematic because of the combination of presenting powerful abilities to websites, and that it's impossible to know if a website is using those abilities responsibly (and most -- especially large commercial websites -- aren't, as near as I can tell).
So learning a programming language would be worth the investment only if that language has one unchanging standard? That feels to me like a bit of a hot take. Almost everything else changes in the world, often by necessity, so it's unclear to me that it's worth ossifying implementations so that C code from 1990 easily compiles in 2022.

Most probably agree that places like Google are bloated. There's a lot of people there that are highly paid that don't add much value. Even if you ignore products that are unprofitable, there are people that really don't do much and get paid a lot to do it, which is kind of odd in a competitive market.

My (conspiracy?) theory is that payrolls are padded by design. Suppose Google gets out of the unprofitable aspects of their business and cuts back drastically. You can probably get rid of 50% of people while keeping 90% of revenue. You could say that its not forward looking as these "other bets" could pay off in the medium to long term, but this has been going on for a while and it's pretty obvious by now that other bets are almost always bad, definitely not worth the investment.

Even if they are, a place like Google doesn't have the right structure to compete in these markets. Things aren't dire. I remember a portion of Chaos Monkeys where the author describes Google+ as an existential threat to Facebook, so he drives to the Google parking lot on a weekend and finds no one there. Obviously Google+ wasn't a serious enough concern to Google that would require weekend hours so the author concluded (correctly) that its not the existential threat that Facebook thought it was.

So what would efficiency look like? Well, Google's gross profit margins are 55+% and their net profit margin is around 25%. It's hard to find those margins in other competitive industries. So what would their margin be if they cut expenses by 50%? They would have uncomfortably high margins that look bad to regulators. Similarly they would have a ton of excess cash that they would have to pay out in dividends or stock buybacks (also politically unpopular). To add to that, managers would reign over a smaller domain.

You see the same behavior at utilties companies where they're allowed to charge cost + markup. They have no incentive to bring costs down if it just means they have to charge less. Obviously there are no price controls affecting Google, but if their margins shot up to 100%, it wouldn't look good.

So a place like Google allows for inefficiencies and bloated payrole because it keeps everyone happy (other than shareholders) and it keeps them off the radar of more strict regulation.

This seems like a very superficial conclusion, they're very different in practice.

- you can't go broke from spending too much time on facebook/twitter/instagram

- doing something dumb on social media usually doesn't come with the same feeling of regret that's common in people who try to stop gambling but can't

- social media might be addictive but it's a weakly negative, comfy, it-feels-good-when-my-attention-is-here type of addiction, gambling is a whole other beast

- there is very little shame in talking about how much time you spend on social media, hiding gambling losses on the other hand is much more common

Sure, dopamine is probably something they have in common, that's where the similarities end.
They offer their own file system implementation (emFile) which supports either their own storage format (EFS) or FAT. The BigFAT article is posted in the emFile section of their website.

My suspicion is that customers are bugging them to support large files in emFile and they don't want to pay the license fee for exFAT. I think they even can't do that with their current licensing model, which is one-time per product (not item) or product-family payment.

EDIT: I tried to find out if Microsoft's exFAT is licensed per product or per unit and I found that it used to be a 300000 USD flat fee in 2009 but seems to be free since 2019. So my theory from above has no basis and I wonder why Segger does not simply implement exFAT?
