> Skilled cyclists use the front brake alone probably 95% of the time

I am skeptical about this claim. Here’s a recent video by a former pro on the subject of braking, for example, and he is squeezing on both brakes at the same time in most of the shots. [1] He does say that the front brake can be squeezed a lot harder, though, and is source of most of your braking power.

Even in the places where Brown says you should use the rear/both brakes comprise much more than 5% of my total brake usage: bumpy roads, slippery roads, long descents, breaking during a turn, etc. But I’ll also use both breaks to come to a stop pretty much any time I’m coming up to a traffic light or other non-emergency stop.

"Democracy just offers you a choice to pick among a range of elitist pricks."

At least none claim be be of "Royal Blood" and their children don't automatically become ruler. A monarchy legitimized class based thinking in a very fundamental way, which I think is very bad for society.

"The monarchy just maintains a veto"

Please, monarchies are just nepotism on steroids. They had to make up the concept of "Royal blood" or "THe divine right of kings" to justify why one person should have so much power and be so unaccountable.

There justification for being in power is "I'm inherently better than you, and all my descendants will always be better than yours forever"
I’m not sure what motorcycle you have, but when steering properly most I have owned have been effortless to turn when “pressing”. (That being said I had a 1981 XS400 that someone had put some pretty silly bars on that felt like a jumping rock to turn)

Unfortunately I cannot make real recommendations for Russian learning for non-native speakers, as for me it is simply the native language and stuff just magically makes sense.
I quickly looked over the book you listed, it looks to me to be a million times better than whatever you would get out of Duolingo. It is actually the perfect way to do grammar imo, you get grammar lessons along with small injections of vocabulary and all the big grammar topics seem covered.
I would work on it and supplement it with maybe some basic Russian media(as the vocabulary inside doesn't seem perfect for daily interactions), but yes this is a good resource.
I will warn that to me at least Russian seems like one of those languages that will be very hard to learn without immersion.
To summarize the comments in this thread so far...

* Signing your commits is a waste of time

* Signing your commits with SSH keys is bad because it conflates an ephemeral key with a permanent identity

* Signing your commits with anything but GPG isn't worth it

The first point is hard to argue against because the commenters who offered the opinion didn't give many details to understand their perspective.

The second, which is the most common sentiment so far, seems to be because people misunderstand that it doesn't have to be your push/pull key. It can be any SSH key, including a special-purpose key whose only job is to be held securely and act as a signing key.

And the third kind of suffers the same problem as the first -- not enough details are given to understand.
You're deflecting.

I remind you that I asked 'Why?' in response to your bold statement "Not letting e.g. Baltics into NATO/EU would almost certainly mean they have been already absorbed back into Russia. The rest of CEE would be vassalized."

I have a feeling the 'fans' are getting pretty old and/or stay a minority.

In my case, I was the only 'old gamer' parent in my daughter's entourage that actually bought games. The rest had to make do with whatever they could pirate/play for free. And outside the techie audience they may not even have a gaming computer to play pirated games on. They will have a phone though, and mobile games are all free to play predatory.

Even the daughter plays free to play abominations because they're all social and most youngsters do not understand disconnecting.
Besides ad blockers there are also apps that will play YT videos ad free.
100% agree. The early days of Silk Road showed the true value of Bitcoin. It was a great untraceable currency. Perfect for buying drugs (no moral judgement, just saying what happened). Then, around 2016, CNBC “discovered” crypto and so much investor money and mania jumped in. Now it’s just a value store for dreamers. The fact that the word HODL exists kinda proves that point.

The content was better back in the day. Bill Nye, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Cosmos, Reading Rainbow.

I don't have kids but my friends do and the content that they watch is insultingly low quality.

I like the idea that you can set up a media server with only what you choose and turn the kids loose on it. They can go nuts because it's only content you've chosen.

Laws need to be written to hold the c-suite personally responsible for fraud. Otherwise there’s basically every incentive to commit fraud and consider it a cost of doing business. There’s a sitting U.S. senator with presidential ambitions who presided over the largest Medicare fraud in history when he was CEO of a healthcare company. He claimed ignorance and got off scott free.

David Graeber, of Bullshit Jobs fame, makes the distinction between service work and caring work. Doing things vs taking care of other humans.

Part of his thesis is that society undervalues the labor of caring workers, because they get so much "job satisfaction". Teachers and nurses are examples of caring work.

I lean towards Graeber's thesis, mostly because I haven't read any other explanation for this pathology, so Graeber wins by default.
The MSF isn't mandatory though is it? Also, statistics suggest a lot of the motorcyclists who get killed are doing it without a license anyway (or registered bike, or helmet...).

> People in thumbnails make weird facial expressions for different reasons

I’ve seen porn videos with a YT-style thumbnail (annoying person making a dumb face in front of whatever is actually interesting), but so far they are very rare.
To be completely honest - my memory for films is terrible, so I struggle to remember why I loved many of these. Also, many of them take unexpected twists and to say why I loved them so much risks ruining part of the surprise. I've watched countless documentaries and in order for them to make this list I have to _really_ enjoy them, and for the most part they require no interest in the subject matter in my opinion - they're just objectively good. So, I'd recommend literally any to start with, but with all that being said, some favourites amongst the favourites:

The Crash Reel - an amazing tale of a person preparing for the olympics, with an unexpected turn and just a very heartwarming/impressive journey - very very highly recommended.

The Cove - follows a whaling event that happens every year, and exposes the savagery of it. However, it's filmed almost like a thriller, in how the team set up to expose the event. Very eye opening, if a little sad, but very very good.

Drew: The Man Behind the Poster - just an amazing documentary about a man who makes amazing film posters - incredible, you'll see that he's responsible for so many recognisable posters from your childhood.

Being Elmo - lovely film about the puppeteer behind Elmo - really heartwarming

13th - very good film about racial injustice in the legal system.
Seems like Part 2 makes a giant assumption.
When entering the turn - maybe.

It's different when a novice is already progressing through a long turn and suddenly needs to tighten (obstacle or overshoot). They already feel less safe as soon as the bike is at an angle, and have instinctive tendency to begin straightening it up at even the slightest provocation. This instinct will 99% win with the undeveloped/unconscious countersteering instinct. (What? Point my handlebar at the obstacle?!) So, yes, training it could save their life.
The problem is the balance though. If no coordination is viable then what's the purpose of coordination? Higher difficulties aren't a great solution. People always want to do the hardest and will complain if their typical strat of joining randos doesn't work
You can't turn a bicycle or motorbike without counter-steering, so these people are just not turning their bikes? It's not possible to not countersteer as the bike would lean to the wrong direction and you'd turn the wrong way (since you'd have been initiating a countersteer, afterall). Are you seeing people just manhandle the bars the wrong way in emergencies? I could believe that.

This is great. Although looking at the UK map makes me sad, all those abandoned lines.

It makes you wonder what the country would be like if we'd leaned into the rail system instead of tearing up a chunck of it following the Beaching Report. The most interesting ones for me are the additional lines that crossed the Pennines, linking the north together much better than it is today.
Depends on the mistake.
A quick check shows plenty of rail lines that haven't existed in several decades: the tracks lifted and the lands sold off long ago. Not very useful if you're looking for information.
> Lesbians are bearing 90% of the brunt on this, of course, being shamed and guilted into having sex with men.

I think what OP means is that if lesbians refuse to have sex with trans men (male-to-female) who declare themselves as women, they (the lesbians) are marked as transphobes. As contorted as it is.
Someone will say to pay for Premium but weird thing Google(and other giants) have very limited payment methods. I do not understand why Steam,Gog, Patreon and small companies you never heard of can offer various payments methods (like PayPal) but the giants are limited to credit cards, maybe they don't want my money or they really want the credit cards? or maybe PayPal is too difficult to handle for a giant but small companies have no choice? Anyone knows?

A better, cheaper and much more limited service. For many people and businesses, most of the time this is indeed enough but this legacy is being used and needed.

As others have mentioned legacy banks here in Scandinavia are slowly catching up, the main reason being the slow trickle of custeos to neobanks.
>So if you move enough ethnic Russians to Crimea so that they have majority over native Tatars, you can simply annex it at will?

If it happened in the 19th century I think so. At some point you have to simply accept that the democraphics changed and the sins of the ancestors arent the sins of the descendants and the descendants are just as deserving of democracy as anyone else.

A group of Serbs rather famously didnt subscribe to this view and committed genocide on Bosnians in the 90s to avenge what the ottomans "did to them" in, like, the 1700s.

To be consistent with the notion that historical lands belong to historical residents you'd have to cancel democracy and give back the United States to the native americans (or mexicans, even).

Do you believe in just handing back the United States to the people whom they genocided when they took it over and letting them rule? I suspect not. I dont. Most people dont.

The awkwardness of this double standard on closer inspection underscores the fact that what you espouse here is less of a moral principle and more of a geopolitical gang sign, even though you might not realize it.
yeah, thats the idea. a 1TB of media goes a long way to satisfying the "interests" of kids. cost wise that is peanuts as a pre-transcoded media could be streamed off a pi-HDD combo. that is fantastic.
They aren't, more or less. Rules might be interpreted differently in different countries, but I think it mostly correct.

What you can do is create something like Paw Patrol. The show is a product in its own right, but really it's a massive ad for their line of toys. You can also get catalogs from toy stores, I don't know if they are allowed to mail them out, or if they don't do it because of cost.
This is kind of my experience as well — lots of times these management mistakes manifest as opportunity costs, which means there might not be much in the way of visible costs. This means that there's often little consequence to the mismanagement, and the organization can absorb the problematic consequences as long as they have sufficient outside reputation and/or resources to attract a critical mass of new hires that will just flow with that dysfunction, or the poor management goes away for other reasons.

The continued success or longevity of an organization doesn't say much about how it's functioning, mostly because it doesn't address how much better it could have been doing or who is not in the organization.
You can generate valid alternative Ethereum PoS histories in private without getting slashed: just don’t propose them to network? This is unlike PoW, where even generating the history is expensive.

This leaves a problem: how should new nodes joining the network know if the version of history they’ve been presented with is ‘honest’.

The answer for Ethereum PoS is ‘checkpoints‘, but it’s not an ‘objective‘ measure, unlike ‘chain with most work’ in PoW.

Even Vitalik admits this, it is why he invented the term ‘weak subjectivity’, he is totally explicit that this is a fundamental weakness of PoS: the valid chain is subjective.

The only question that remains is whether the economic incentives that have been designed are good enough to work around this weakness and guarantee whatever properties Ethereum network users have decided is important.
I don't think "fine contemporary art" is the only kind people pay for.

I'm not a visual artist, but just off the top of my head, illustrations in books, magazines, and ads, as well as a lot of video game art, might be producible using these tools.

Of course, while that might reduce work for artists it might make it easier for other people to create things like games.
To be fair these seem like naturally intuitive and simple ideas
Erm cars? Or neighbors? Sounds like most of my cats deaths were caused by either cars or some sort of poisoning. Looks very predatorish to me.
I upvoted it because I read the article and found it to be quite interesting. As other commenters have mentioned, you might find YouTube indistinguishable because of how many features have been inspired by porn sites (or, at the very least, were popularized on those adult content sites first).
My car is on 225/40/18, has no floating behaviour, and just the right amount of feedback still to feel what happens on the front wheels, whether it's wheel placement, movement, gripping/slipping... It's an absolute joy to drive, whether on long journeys or spiritedly.

> just keep my hand relaxed on the wheel while the car ploughs pretty much through whatever in a direct line

I would avoid small potholes still but that's basically my feeling on that car. I did slightly bend a rim once when running through a pothole I did not see, and the car ploughed through as described.

I recall reading an article a couple of months ago about steering, feedback, and suspension geometry design. It rang very true to my subjective experience that many car suspensions are designed for "comfort" (vs "sporty"), which results in a lack of relevant direct feedback, which makes the car uneven and floaty, like you're somehow disconnected from the road, and still suffer from bumpiness as you have to rely on indirect cues to compensate, which makes for increased latency and overcorrection.

I wish I could find this article again, IIRC it all comes down to one angle/offset, which you can't really fix by tuning geometry because it's basically baked in the suspension design.

EDIT: it's related to that one[0], but was more detailed regarding that part:

> To make matters worse, the suspension geometry often further compromises steering feel in favor of things like putting less load into tie-rods

On the contrary, kirk and church are very closely related. Both descend from Germanic kirikā, which was borrowed from the Greek κυριακόν (δῶμα) = the Lord’s (house).

In fact, you’re correct to pick up on the fact that English often has ch where other Germanic languages have k (e.g. cheese = Dutch kaas, German Käse). This is because the original k changed to ch in English, in certain contexts.

In what way do you think it's an overkill? As in, what's too much / gets in the way? I've gone exactly the opposite way with: I don't want to deal with a highly opinionated and integrated thing like zabbix if I can put a 3 small things together (grafana, influx, telegraf in my case) and have a simple system monitoring that also can handle anything I want to throw at it.

It's not that easy. I can't ask for things I don't know about, and extremely often work is assigned far before I know anything about it.

My manager also has to balance what work to give to which person. It's very unlikely he's going to give me the opportunity to do high level work like synthesizing information, writing a design doc, etc and even if he does I'm at a structural disadvantage compared to someone who has full access to information.

I know from talking to the PM, more senior engineers on my team and sometimes my manager that this structural information advantage is real because they often talk about things I have never heard of, but they have been involved with for a long time.
