Well, having kids is kind of important. Essential even.
I think this is due to the desire to fall in the approx 40-75 characters per line that are considered ideal (numbers vary depending on the source of the study but broadly fit this definition) for users to read. It is also why some prefer double-columns in academic papers, because each 'column' has closer to ideal lines, rather than have wide margins on the page.

Of course, this looks like wasted space when you have a landscape-oriented monitor... I personally very rarely maximize my browser so that I read in more of a portrait-style mode, regardless of the orientation of my display.
That would cause a fire, not a detonation. The same way gas tanks don't actually explode if you shoot them, they spring leaks and those leaks may catch fire but actual booms require very specific circumstances. Specifically, they require the correct mixture of air and fuel vapors but that doesn't require a missile impact to ignite. Something much more mundane like a spark is just as effective and about 5 orders of magnitude more likely to occur.

TWA 800 broke apart as a result of a major overpressure event. The particular mode of in-flight failure observed in TWA 800 is very difficult to cause by poking a single missile sized hole anywhere in the aircraft. Not theoretically impossible, but difficult to the point that it's not a reasonable explanation. You have to take the combined probability of 2 very unlikely events rather than just 1.
Whereas the lynchpin of your argument, inasmuch as there is one, is "pfff, who needs evidence when you can have allegations instead".

But, you're the one wasting it, right? You have a huge monitor with one window open. I use a WM and very rarely have one window on a whole screen, because that would be a waste of screen.

If that text was full width along your screen you'd be wasting vertical screen space instead. Will you ask them to write more to fill your screen up?

Thank you for your reply. I've already ckecked it with the government. Now in switzerland there are really tight regulations but it is still a gray zone. Germany has the same problem. But the main question I think is if it is more a connecting plattform or an eating plattform. SO if the food is the focus or the people. Because I figured when you come with the reason to enjoy good food, the prices are going to skyrocket to actually make some money as the cook. But I validated the idea and found that the social aspect is actually the main aspect of the idea. And I think that new friendship will not flurish from one making profit of the other one. Now indeed an important part is to ensure quality which I am planning to ensure at the beginning myself and later on through rating.

I mean, I personally would feel comfortable defending the idea that is a bad idea, but that's not even what I'm saying, I'm only saying it was deemed to be a bad idea, which is exactly what the proposal for deprecating it explains.

You're not "losing" anything, you just have expectations that aren't compatible with reality.

Why shouldn't I? Is it somehow my responsibility to keep the food on your table?

> I spent almost 2 years on writing the book.

Just because you spent time doing something doesn't give you the right to deny everyone else their right of sharing information. Writing books isn't profitable anymore? Don't write books for living, do something else. That how the rest of us lowly peasants get by when we invest our time into something that flops.

Problem is, there's no lack of people looking for work - there's a lack of people who want to work these particular jobs.

Your statement is false. The Fed has told us why it’s raising rates. It’s NOT to normalize historically low rates. It’s to fight inflation. There is nothing to debate here. The Fed has said it explicitly.

The second part, whether the Fed is hoping to do this by increasing unemployment isn’t as trivial to show. However, we can be almost certain this is true because: (1) since inflation is not due to monetary weakness (the USD is historically strong and has been for the past few years) the only other way the Fed can cause inflation to reduce is by making the economy weaker, which will traditionally lead to lost jobs and increasing unemployment, and (2) the Fed keeps saying that it thinks it can achieve a soft landing, ie, without putting us into a recession and leading to massive job losses, which indicates that they are also aware that they may cause a recession/unemployment growth, and are only kind of hoping they can avoid it.
That’s your spare time. I’m talking about people’s jobs. Would you sacrifice your primary income so that people could enjoy your work for free?

I'm curious, how can you know how much you're losing because of piracy?
Beautifully said. It strikes me as incredibly arrogant and condescending that so-called rational, educated people today will gleefully throw out centuries (if not millennia) of knowledge because they (justifiably) take issues with some of it. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind. I'm not particularly religious, but there have always been aspects of religion that I've admired and aspects that I've disliked.

Your local Crossfit gym and book club, I promise you, are not adequate replacements for traditional recurring weekly gatherings, where it's normal (and expected!) to share what's on your mind, what's troubling you, what you are grieving over, what you are celebrating, etc. I've found that the quality of discourse here is much higher than the standard, "Did you watch Succession last week?", surface-level discourse at many of these alleged replacements.

And then, like you mentioned, they embark on a decades-long quest, only to end up at more or less the place they would've ended up otherwise. Or they find themselves completely lost and wayward.

I don't have a prescription here, but complete rejection of something seems almost as dull and narrow-minded as total dogmatic acceptance of it.
Isn't it obvious? Gas is not sanctioned, yet the supply of Russian gas to Europe was significantly reduced. After many b***t excuses, Russia admitted that the gas supplies won't be resumed until the sanctions are lifted.

So yes, the crisis is manufactured by Russia to produce a political leverage. And part of that strategy is of course spreading FUD through various media.
Some, sure. No different than some vegans, atheists, DJT voters and Jets fans.

I wonder if any of the stories of people who get struck by lightning multiple times throughout their lives have any merit and if there is any scientific explanation for that given how rare it is to even get struck in the first place.

Maybe it’s like a psychological thing, after getting struck once they start to subconsciously crave it and expose themselves to situations where it is likely to happen again?
It's exceptionally difficult to make a large airliner explode like a gas station in a 1980s action movie by hitting it with an inert missile-sized body. You could certainly cause damage which would cause it to eventually crash but TWA 800 violently exploded in mid air, which is different.
Let me get this straight... Politicians wrote a schedule in 2003. According to the schedule, this particular plant should be shut down now. And we have people in this thread (not you) claiming that there are "technical reasons" why the plant has to be shut down right now, not after this winter. So, by pure coincidence, politicians in 2003 just happened to predict the exact date 19 years in the future when it would no longer be technically feasible to operate the plant? The exact date! Can I please have these same politicians predict next week's lottery numbers for me?
NPR did a good and brief piece on digital lending economics which also talks about how those economics are different from physical lending. Libraries license materials, and the license for a physical book will typically last as long as that book can be circulated(basically until it falls apart).

I've started going to the library more often(and using Libby for e-reading), they might not have the exact book I want, but there is always something I am interested in there.

This 5x number is nonsense. Its generalizing for a few projects that happened in a time when there was very limited constructionist and because of 40 years of neglect not even a workforce that was available.

> wind+solar+pumped storage combo

Pumped storage is available in most places. And there is literally no alternative.

Its insane to build a society on a technology that if something goes wrong, society only has 1-2 days of electricity storage.

> In France their capacity factor has declined to ~72% which is only about 5% above the best wind farms.

The best windfarms that only exist in a few places and is certainty not generally that high.

An France this year had some issues that happened because nuclear was neglected for years as their leadership jumped on the all renewables trend.

France had advanced reactors in the 90s and guess what, instead of building them they were killed in the endless attempted by some forces (usually greens and left) to prevent nuclear from happening.

Had France simply build 3-5 of those plants they had ready in the late 90s they would be amazing by now.

> slightly less variable

Is actually much less variable if you look at it in totality.

> lead time of 19.5 years

Again this is just generalizing from the worst possible example. If a country actually commits to building a significant amount of plants rather then a single project that constantly on the verge of being canceled things look quite different.

Had Germany in 2000 simply started to build as many reactors as possible they would be finishing them at many a year now and building them at a rate of 4-5 years a pop. They would be far more green and far more reliably then what they have actually managed with their green revolution (and huge investment in gas).
Whatever it takes to get you moving, but it is a little self-deceptive to ignore or replace natural incentives for fitness with artificial incentives of mere shadows on a cave wall. Perhaps the real world is a little boring, but it has the distinct advantage of being authentic.
That sounds like work.
> Boeing commercial programs are separately funded from military.

Boeing still has a top level of management; the CEO's purview includes everything from SLS to Air Force tankers to the 737-MAX's problems.

> There are no laws in the US that allow executives and staff to defraud shareholders and the board on behalf of the government.

National security letters are a prominent counterexample to this claim.

> There are no provisions for "It's OK to lie for the good guys".

James Clapper lied to Congress about PRISM without repercussions.

> At the end of the day, someone at Boeing legal would have to sit down and look at this and say "Well, if the hundreds of people involved all agree to commit fraud and no one finds out, we're in the clear for some nebulous illegal kickback down the line line. Sign us up!"

That's backwards. Boeing Legal would go "we've been told the following items are classified Top Secret, and all of us can go to jail for disclosing them". Loss of future programs is a consequence - the stick, not the carrot.

You are really losing a huge personal branding opportunity.

Alternatively: people now trust you, there is some way to monetize that for sure such as organizing events, conventions etc. Make them pay a bit more than you would to recoup the cost of piracy.

In the end it's the strategy used by the GOAT. Bill Gates knew he couldn't fight piracy and also it just charged Fortune500 companies a tad more so they'd essentially subsidize pirates all over the world. Ranging from PirateBay to CD sellers in Subsaharan Africa
I got mono 2 months before college graduation. At the time I didn’t think “oh I won’t graduate” but in retrospect being out of school for 2 weeks without doing any work can really make things difficult, especially that close to the end of the semester.

Now I have recurring dreams about having one class that I haven’t studied for at all and there are 6-8 weeks left in the semester. Long enough that I could study at the expense of literally all of my waking time, but short enough that there is real anxiety I might fail this class and not be able to graduate.

At least now I know having these dreams now is evidence of waking anxiety that I have to manage.
A crewed flyby? What is the point of that? Colonizing the clouds of venus is a good idea eventually, but it's certainly not a viable first target.
The article was about the search for life, so clearly we're off on a tangent here if we are talking about space colonization. I guess I assumed it was about semi-realistic space colonization, because the comment that kicked it off talked about the solving problems -- if we have magical sci-fi technology there's no reason to talk about this, because we have no way to speculate which problems will have an automatic sci-fi answer.

Anyway, if you pick apart the problems described in the first post you responded to, you'll find, I think, that the only restriction imposed by limiting the discussion to planets inside the solar system is the "less solar energy."
ProtonMail is an interesting case. It does not provide SMTP or IMAP servers, except via a weird proxy service that runs on your local machine, and obviously isn't compatible with smartphones.

Here (Ontario) we have "time of use" billing https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/elect...

The idea is to move "load" from peaks to avoid shortages by charging more to use power during peaks.

The idea of "priority customers" has a long standing principle. "High usage" customers often agree to be the first to be cut in return for discounts.

Targeting "residential customers" in this way is NOT effective as it takes a LOT of houses to equal the amount of power "commercial/industrial" users consume.

Time of use billing is probably the better option.

You have quite the nerve to spread these falsehoods here, and then claim it's Europe that is the unreliable partner. Amazing and supremely twisted.

I have no interest in discussing this with you as you're not here with good intentions, but I would let others know that Western countries were very accommodating with the spare parts, which in practice called the Russian bluff. I doubt Germany will go back to Russian gas after they pulled this one.

Current economic metrics are all over the place following the worst global pandemic in a century. It's true that the metric(s) typically used to define/measure growth are down as you describe, there are lots (and lots) of related metrics that say something quite different. I think overall it's most accurate to suggest that we're in a strange time indeed, not just a repeat of the last 3 or 5 recessions.

I could easily back it up:

The right has over the past 6 months used the levers of government to make it illegal for women to get reproductive care, banned books on LGBTQ and race from school libraries, removed elected officials for espousing different beliefs, punished companies that disagreed with their views, and outlawed care for trans youths. There are candidates on the ballot in favor of disenfranchising voters, adding the Bible to the citizenship exam, and outlawing contraception.

The left has done what to abridge anyone's freedoms in that time? What are their candidates campaigning on to reduce other's freedoms?

It's a silly argument to have. One side is clearly embracing authoritarianism and you're here arguing both sides are the same.
How will the Software Engineering be in 20 years?
20 years ago, we were dealing with PHP mainly and the LAMP stack, or JSPs and deploying to JBoss/Tomcat. Today we deploy apps written in any language to containers.

Where do you think software engineering will be in 20 years?
Silent. It'll be things like you can't ssh into the box any more or you log in and can't reboot it. Likely due to ethash mining, which is heavily RAM based and the voltage/clocking. Luckily, it is easy to change those settings to build more stability. I have a process that auto tunes the machines for known instabilities... but the weird silent ram corruption ones are much harder to detect.

You're totally right that mining hardware was majority single purpose, especially at large scale. Those PSU's did the job, but yes, in general, hand soldered in China and prone to do weird things.

It certainly puts a hamper into what can be done with it now that the merge has happened, but I'd like to keep trying to find uses!
You have my sympathy. In doing my own interview recording I've found that starting with good environmental control and properly placed high-quality mics independently recorded at high bandwidth makes a profound difference and saves 70-80% of post labor. I think these AI editing assists could yield another 10% netting an order of magnitude cost reduction for high-quality interview production.
Right now, every visa is a hassle. It is unreal how much of a bottleneck US Immigration system has become - no visa appointment slots for months, or years in some cases.
