What does that have to do what what you said?

>>> Wouldn't you first want to prove that psychic abilities exist at all and if you planned to do that use humans.

If you're going to test that $FOO abilities exist at all, it's bad science to dismiss animal testing.

It's literally the opposite of science!

> I'm saying that there needs to be some observation to form a hypothesis and there isn't any for psychic powers.

You're saying that now, and I don't disagree, but that's not what you initially said, which I did disagree with.

What you're saying now is different from what you said before.

What you said before was wrong.
The decades of absolute failure of that model and the need to enforce it through state violence don’t concern you?
Wouldn't they require your card number over the phone, then?

I’ve observed this for quite some time now. I’m not exactly affluent. The maximum amount I’m willing and able to spend on any ticket is $50 – and that would have to be an artist I really want to see. The market price is closer to $500. As those two extremes are unlikely to meet any time soon, I’m simply not going and will spend my time (and whatever money there is) on more affordable, more reasonable diversions.

This is another area that will eventually have its bubble popped because it's unsustainable.
What happened in the 90s?
It is a bit of leap to go from 'I am doing well but some things aren't working' to 'trash it all and let's do the late 19th to early 20th century economic system again'.
Sounds like you are being overworked. A 9-5 as an Eng Manager is achievable, but you might need to jump ship to find it.

Working late has a huge knock-on effect on your social life and ability to interact with society around you. That's probably contributing to your burnout.

If there's budget or willingness, having someone in that timezone who can perform your role for that meeting may be possible.

I'd be very wary of taking any regular work outside of your contracted hours unless there is a lot of $$$$ involved and your relationships can survive it.

You might get some mileage out of a long vacation, or agressively pruning your work hours.
That's not relevant. They are competition. They are a viable alternative to Ticketmaster. Define "any better"?

I noticed a lot of things can get better in 6 weeks.

• In email marketing when you want to get back deliverability on gmail or hotmail it usually takes 6 weeks

• My newsletter for remote-working parents gained traction after 6 weeks

• Kids get their colic 6 weeks after they’re born usually

• And after 6 more it’s gone

How about a vacancy tax? Then sellers are forced to sell driving prices down so more people who actually want to live there (not rent it out) can afford to buy?
You mean the common person who is getting evicted or having their rent increased by double digit percentages or getting priced out of their neighborhoods? Or the common person who owns a dozen high rises and is pissed about paying slightly more taxes?

The answer is obvious. Just follow the public land strategy of Singapore in urban centers. The city slowly purchases the land from citizens over a thirty year period.

You don't have to define `\First` and `\Second` since these are predefined as `\@firstoftwo` and `\@secondoftwo`. Also the Unicode bytes are already active so setting their catcode is useless. Also redefining the first octet breaks LaTeX's UTF-8 handling and the else case forms an infinite loop. Changing the catcodes of `(` and `)` means that this command doesn't work in the arguments of other commands and it breaks other uses of `(` and `)` in the argument.

Instead you could do this as

100-200 years ago your voice would be shouting about how government intervention in the labour market was hurting it. How giving workers more rights was big government taking over the economy and that we should be free from it.

Interventions might fail, just like leaving this to the market might fail. It's all a constant juggling of incentives, unforeseen consequences and catching up. UBIs and minimum wage are not designed to solve house affordability, so I'm not even sure why you'd lump it into capping rents, etc.

Without interventions you leave all the power to the profiteers, to the ones seeking to rent-seek as most as possible, so I'm very sure your approach of "less intervention" would just bring another set of unforeseen consequences with a worse side: complete lack of accountability. At least a failed governmental intervention has someone accountable for it, leaving the system to regulate itself (free market™) leaves no one accountable for the suffering it causes. Or even worse, it becomes a personal responsibility™ issue and the victims will be blamed for not trying hard enough.

Enough is fucking enough of this...
You need land to park your van on. Land is pricey. Land in or near "a city where all the jobs are" is even pricier. A house (residential building) on land near amenities is going to be expensive. All a van does is reduce the cost of building on top of that land - and not by a great deal. I mean the UK has large numbers of "trailer parks" in the South East and those suckers go for 100K plus. More than half the cost of average house price in the UK.

A van does not solve the problem. A van is a shitty place to raise a family. And remote working is not going to cut it - if your job does not pay you enough to afford a house, it's unlikely to be a nice middle class job where you can sit at a laptop.
Speaking of Google (as one example), it went from research project to impacting daily lives (including mine as a teenager in flyover country) within two years for a couple of million dollars (max - inflation adjusted). The crypto ecosystem has had tens of billions of dollars invested in it (not to mention countless token scams, etc) over the past decade and other than people with gambling accounts on exchanges (which are internal order books and don’t touch a blockchain) there is no meaningful usage.

No one with any kind of intellectual and rational honesty can compare the development of the crypto ecosystem to the internet, web, etc.
Tens of billions of dollars and a decade later there still isn’t a single crypto Google.
How about a vacancy tax so landlords can't just keep properties off the market?
This is like the disappearance of removable batteries from nearly all modern smartphones (aside from a tiny number of low-performance models like the Nokia C20) on the false pretext that making phones impossible to ever truly power off is a tradeoff that gets us slightly thinner devices.

There is no good, non-handwave-y (e.g. tiny additional BOM cost, tiny additional complexity for the firmware and plastic molds for the case) reason for IoT device manufacturers not including physical on-off switches for the devices' onboard radios.
> The point is entirely different: if you update the channel-list you need the network for any changes to the configuration and I don't know of a way to go back to an earlier channel state.

`nix-channel` does have a `--rollback` flag to it.

However, I feel that Nix Flakes would allow you a better experience. With nix flakes, the revision of the nixpkgs input is persisted in a lockfile. You could check this file in somewhere, and then getting your working directory back to a known working state is much easier.
I honestly think the solution for your problem is much easier than you think. Find a new job. It looks like this company will always find a way to overwork you, one way or another. It's not everywhere as toxic, so I'd start looking for something better.
Usually the company will arrange meeting time that's closest with both parties working hour. Let's say between 6-8 AM or 18-20 PM. Otherwise that very late time meeting will be rare and in special situation.

Having that kind of meeting be regular sounds like a bad management to me.
However Russia's troops probably rely on Ukrainian electricity in their temporary bases. Without it they have to bring even more fuel with them, especially in the winter, creating new logistic problems. On the other hand most of Ukraine's trains are electric, so moving war machinery and industrial supplies will become more difficult for Ukraine. Yet if Ukraine can't use the rails they will likely damage them to keep Russia from using them, which again will create logistic problems for Russia. Seems like both sides are harmed by cutting electricity. An obvious response will be to cut power to Crimea and other occupied territories as well.

"Government Assistance Lifts 45.4 Million Out of Poverty in 2021" - US Census Bureau

>odd phrasing

And accurate.

Governance systems > individual effort. Populations do as well as their system allows. At scale of large nations, it's mostly down to management, even suggesting it's a team effort is being charitable. Contrast how India is doing under same timeframe, ergo accurate to say CCP governance was/is primarily responsible for lifting 800m people out of poverty.

TLDR of "China lifted 800 million out of poverty" is fine.

More accurate and neutral TLDR is "Chinese Communist Party lifted 800 million out of extreme poverty"

But for some reason most western press like to minimize/trivialize the CCP part with China.
Spot on. Usually bank has a very strict working schedule apart from production issues.
Even better, just Reverse Osmosis and remove all of that junk.
Or do a bit of both. Add a vacancy tax and also incentivize building
DNS (without DNSSEC) doesn't claim to be secure.
Illegal wildlife trade must end, period.

But there is lately an ideological and pseudoreligious trend targeting the pet stores and questioning the people that has pets. In Spain is illegal since a few years having a ball python as pet and a new law passed in 2022 make illegal that a children breeds a hamster, or a bunny, or a canary without a breeder permit and this is a nonsense and mistake of planetary dimensions.

We will see how this ends, but I'm not hopeful about it. This world looks more and more like being filled with simple but incorrect decisions made by young forms of AI that really don't understand neither humans or the world.

Avoid youngsters to be exposed to animals because children could fail and kill pets, is one of the worse ideas in the human history. Children need to fail and deal with the consequences to become stable adults. Your robotic dog will not clean you when you are elder

I would prefer people choosing a [legally adquired] long lived sulcata tortoise over choosing a cat in Australia, all the time. Much easier to keep contained and care for in arid places, much more sustainable to feed (not need to spend gas to import chilean anchovies from the other coin of the planet), and in general, less harmful for the ecosystems

> When you have Screen and Multiply, there is no good reason to use Lighten or Darken.

reMarkable uses the darken blend mode very successfully in its monochrome and colour renderings of highlighter strokes. Multiply would make the strokes darker the more you drew (and there is a separate highlighter colour that uses multiply for this effect), but darken gets just one level of darkening however many times you draw over it, which is normally what you want, and achieving that result by any other means would be much, much more effort, especially once you get to overlapping highlighter and non-highlighter strokes of various colours of each.
"Dark mode helps reduce eye strain and provides contrast in bright environments which improves readability and accessibility. Dark mode also improves navigation across user interfaces..."

I dispute this. And now this is going to be cited, further manufacturing the idea that this is an empirical truth.

> I would urge people to be a little more circumspect about cryptocurrency technologies.

Good ideas will out. In crypto, they don't even have to be good, just not utterly shite, corrupt or broken.

crypto as cash, has it's downsides, (total visibility, low transaction volume, difficult to secure) but it more or less works. legally, thats pretty simple. all you have to do is make people think 1 token is worth is x dollars.

The problem is, people think that you can apply the same logic to everything else. looks at the NFT crowd The big problem is that for legal stuff, you can't just go full digital. You need to provide a stable and workable link to "old school" legal processes for your crypto stuff to be valid.

For example NFTs could have been useful, if they were backed by a real contract system. The price that they were going for, it would have been simple, if it wasn't money laundering. Allowing quick and simple exchanging of digital content regardless of country of origin is a really useful tool.

sure in 20 years, it might be as simple as something like a signed database update, but we've got to do the work to get there first.
Without care it could easily end up with some people owning multiple properties, or even just leaving properties empty…
And how do they oppose development?

Do they break the kneecaps of their potential new landlord rivals so they don't build new apartments and provide competition?
My solution for this is to use something like a Wise debit card and just keep a zero balance on it at all times, except when you actually want to renew a bill. I love to see these companies whose services I only use every 3 months, cry for me to update my payment method. Best part of my day.
Many landlords still have mortgage, which tends to be higher than the rent already.

I think the idea might be just to replace a single point source headlight.

In any kind of built-up area, point sources are everywhere. Add parallax into the mix, and any slowly-shifting point source is going to be ignored as background noise. But get multiple lights moving in synchrony, and that will get a driver's attention.

I mean you can just look at practical, realist governments like in Singapore, and even China to some extent.

The problem is once you're deep in the problem, how do you get out? If you let prices collapse then a lot of homeowners will face negative equity.

It's scary in Europe where we are facing rising interest rates coupled with the energy crisis and cost-push inflation from that and supply chain issues. It's like the governments have just accepted that hundreds of thousands of people will face redundancy and homelessness next year, with no plan whatsoever.
Maybe not criminal, but a dependency on Greater Fools for capital gain feels immoral.
Absolutely. An abstract-but-recognizable figure.
It's not a leap to realise that the past 20-30 years has seen an increasingly accelerating trend of wealth concentration on the top. The scraps being left on the table for the rest of us are slowly dwindling while the system actively fights any reasonable voice trying to bring these social issues to the table.

We live in a world of abundance where kids in developed countries (UK, US) still go hungry, and it got worse in the past 10 years.

I don't think most left-ish people like me are asking to a return of 19th/early-20th century economic models, we are asking for a return of social democratic values over the hegemony of markets and finance. It's not that hard to imbue some humanity back unto an amoral system, we know now through empiric experience that pricing simply has not taken into account human suffering and externalities wreaking havoc into our environments, we just look for more humane ways for markets to function. Left to their own devices markets will only seek profits, at all costs, we, the people and workers, are the ones who can steer it into boundaries where profit-seeking isn't, ultimately, life-destroying.
As a generality, both the economy and the legal system work far better when the seller of a good (or landlord of a rental property) bears the burden of making sure that his goods/properties are in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, etc. And "fit for purpose", etc.

If you wanted to rent an office, an apartment, or even a '5 x 10' self-storage unit, would you find it reasonable for Step 1 to be "hire a team of property lawyers and inspectors, to find out if the place I want to rent is in compliance with all current Federal, State, County, City, and Historical District laws, standards, rules, regulations..."? I'm thinking "no". "Accessibility" is one of many legal requirements for a restaurant, and very few of the people who might want to open a restaurant are property lawyers.
Privacy and freedom should be the legacy we leave, not the opposite
