I had about 50 feet and 270° of bends in some PVC conduits I'd buried under a section of yard. I'd gotten everything done and asked my wife to come help me get the poly string and then mule tape into the conduits. The poly line practically leapt into the conduit chasing the plastic bag. It was one of the greatest ratios between how hard I thought something might be and how hard it actually was.

Exactly. Space heating is the most energy-intensive an expensive item on the list of things you can save on in a detached house - especially that you only really need the heat to be where you are.
The phone system is a great counterexample.

The government effectively established monopolies in phone service. Telephone numbering was not even close to seamless and painless. When dialing was introduced there was pushback and plenty of need for education of consumers, not to mention concerns about the loss of jobs for telephone operators. Establishing international numbering and the ITU has been a costly and slow diplomatic process.

The result is a system which is now almost useless because of the lack of spam prevention that facilitates elder abuse at a large scale.

If it wasn’t a legacy technology, I certainly wouldn’t recommend the telephone to my mother as a product.

The reason we have alternatives now is that there was no regulation preventing us from developing VoIP and other communications services via the internet.

Frankly it’s weird that we would even consider the telephone as a model for current regulation. It’s an antiquated legacy stepping stone from the time before computers.
Why would you kill someone who sees you smoking pot? That may lead to a minimum life sentece as punishment regardless of your rehabilitation.

If you were certain that you can never quit smoking pot/rehabilitate in prison then perhaps your action "could be" justifiable.

You should be aware that drug use is not affecting only you. You also fund an international criminal enterprise. If you want to use drugs then take the hard, legal way(i.e political activism).

As far as I'm concerned all drugs should be legal and served in hospitals unpon request at reasonable prices or free for those who cannot afford them. But I'm not making the laws so I'm not looking providing drugs to addicts at affordable prices either regardless of how ethical would be.
> The reason I posted is because you seemed to be unaware other people have different moral value systems. This is the fundamental reason behind a lot of disagreements. Here's the root of it: you think I a morally wrong and I think I am morally right. There is no rational argument to demonstrate that either of us are correct.

I have no such illusions; I'm simply saying that this archaic one is objectively wrong from a humanitarian and historical standpoint. We both think we are right; the difference is you are wrong. There is no agreeing to disagree here, and it is quite cut and dried.

Further, I am not saying these things to convince you of anything, and I of course don't think I will. I cannot convince someone to care about their fellow human being. I am saying these things for the sake of those reading.
I agree with you. Water facilitates heat transfer, and the surface of skin is about 95f, so it seems that below that temperature, and assuming you aren't already sweating for the evaporative cooling effect, humid air should move heat out of your body more effectively than dry air.
How about "don't be accused of a crime if you want to live a good life". There are countless innocent people in prison and even a single innocent person enduring this is one too many.
This whole question about the vision boils down to "humans don't need it so cars should not need it too" the problem with this statement is that humans does not have wheels to move around, they have legs, but wheels are ridiculously simple compared to 4 legs tapping 160km/h on a highway. Same for birds - they also does not need jet engines to fly around, but imagine Airbus A380 flapping its wings and what kind of complexity would you need to flap 800km/h through air.
I looked into MoCA as I have some coax runs in my house that I don’t use, but when I saw how much power the adapters drew 247, I ditched that idea quickly. Instead I used the old coax as a pull rope to pull Cat6 through instead.

It doesn’t work well. Telephones haven’t changed for decades and are now practically a dead technology. The wires are used for data, and phone service is grandfathered in. You can reasonably say this is the result of a lack of innovation caused by government regulation.

Edit: I say this as someone who loved the dial telephone era. I really want one of these: https://skysedge.com/unsmartphones/RUSP/index.html

I would have bought one, but then I realized that the phone is useless now.

Agreed. Look at ratios of professors to non-academic staff.

I hope for smaller vehicles as well. It's hard to separate "big" and "heavy" statistically because they are highly correlated, but in general, heavier vehicles means higher likelihood of fatality in a crash 1. I suppose we will be doing a natural experiment to tease out the difference over the years as heavy EVs become more commonplace and pedestrian fatalities continue to increase.

> It’s also about weight. Trucks today averaging around 5200 pounds -- that’s a jump of more than a half ton since 2000. And things get heavier as electric vehicles look to become our new normal.

> On average electric vehicles are 10 percent heavier than gas powered cars. For instance, the new electric Hummer weighs in at a staggering 9,100 pounds or more than 4 and a half tons. All that weight can have deadly consequences. Researchers have found that for every 1,000 pounds a car puts on, a pedestrian is nearly 50 percent more likely to die if they’re hit and the more a truck weighs the longer it will take to stop.

Is downsampling not practical?
One shouldn't get too crazy about aperture. On a modern 35mm camera you rarely need the f/1.4. Certainly not for gathering enough light and usually the DOF is small enough at f/2 already. So you can get a much lighter and cheaper lens by not going for the fastest aperture.

A nice alternative are the Voigtländer lenses, which are available or adaptable to modern mirrorless cameras. They tend to be less pricy and quite compact. I personally love my Voigtländer 50/3.5. It isn't the fastest lens, obviously, but lovely, compact and has a great image quality. Steve Huff had a glowing review of it some time ago.
Latvia, neighboring country.
Okay, so you can go ahead and lay out how I am objectively wrong from a humanitarian and historical standpoint? It’s fine to assert that but so far you haven’t actually explained it.

I agree there is no agreeing to disagree about value differences. The key is to identify what outcomes we both want and, from that starting point, evaluate what historical and sociological evidence suggests can get us to those outcomes. Moral framing does not help.
It's important to establish straight up that the author is talking nonsense. It's like one of those nigerian prince scams. You don't want to engage anyone with any sense, so it filters out people early.
On the surface this appears to say "we don't need to make tradeoffs", or "there are endless resources". Both are obviously wrong, but perhaps the intended message is something different?
The relative humidity of a bathroom after a shower must be much higher than 40% - I would imagine getting towards 100% (hence room temperature mirrors steaming up). Where I live (UK) I don't think I've ever seen an indoor humidity as low as 40% - it's typically in the 60-70% range.

The business specialises in eco-friendly yoga mats and accessories. Our goal is to inspire more people to practise yoga and become more connected to their minds, body and the environment. Our products are completely sustainable and for every mat sold we plant 1 tree in Australia.
someone else can explain better than me, but.. humidity is lower when it's cold but relative humidity is higher.
Being outside in the uk when it's cold is often like being inside a cloud, with 100% relative humidity levels.
Combine this with the old, badly insulated, difficult to heat housing stock, and you can guarantee that there is one part of the house (a north facing wall, say) that is at or dangerously close to the dew point for some part of the day/night.
You wouldn't want to leave a steaming bath for longer than necessary.
That expresses things quite evocatively.
> the de-policing and catch/release prosecution policies which led to the violent crime surge

I don't actually know if this is true, intuitively. The highest-crime areas are not the areas with the least police. The lowest-crime areas are not the areas with the most police. Crime seems to respond as a phenomenon to other dysfunction of society, not because there is opportunity to commit them.

So, I don't know, can you educate me more about the relationship between police presence and its causation statistically towards crime? [To be clear, I'm not asking in bad faith or whataboutism. I'm genuinely trying to become more educated in this as a layperson who doesn't study crime to any degree.]

Being kind of meta, taking config, and doing several things for several inputs are good examples of ways to reduce the amount of code--when used appropriately. Being explicit reduces code too. Over abstracting and premature optimization can result in bloated spaghetti code.
Sounds like the author just needed to set a non-default network key.

Powerlines suck, but when you have no other option, they suck a little less than no connectivity at all.

If your VDSL line runs anywhere near your mains wiring, they can cause crazy interference and erroring as the frequencies overlap. Some kit has a notch-out mode to avoid this (Devolo I think).

Even finance isn’t zero sum. The money supply is literally something that is managed. When you take a loan, the bank has created money, since the deposits are still on the books. When you buy insurance, you are getting security, insurance company is getting a premium, and you are both happy.

When you take a loan and start a business, the bank makes money on the interest, and you (hopefully) make money because your business is providing more value than it was. You bought a new machine and make widgets 10x faster, etc.

Also, people confuse money and wealth. One is bandwidth, the other is data. You use bandwidth to transfer data, which is what you care about, and its possibility for creation is basically limitless.
25 centuries - 2500 years - isn't that long ago. That's well into the Iron Age, with signs of early industrial processes - moulds and jigs for making iron tools and weapons - cropping up in some sites.

I wouldn't run conduit on my walls and around doors because I would think it looks awful. People's aesthetics are different. If yours (and those of anyone else who might live with you) allow for such a thing, then sure, go for it.
No, a good programmer knows that the likelihood of someone as competent as them doing the next change to the module is very low and leaves behind some automated tests to help the next one not break what's there.

Competent good also implies "good" good, willing to help reduce the suffering of others.
They predicted that companies will be able to extract more value from workers in the future. In other words, they think that the top 1% will continue to get relatively richer at a faster rate, as long as that is true profits can improve without the economy improving.
But the question at hand is system control, not locomotion! You're not asking the automation to walk (well, I mean someday we will, but Teslas have wheels), nor the aircraft to flap. We want the automation to do what a human pilot would do. And that works with eyes.

No, I think this argument is largely correct. And frankly settled: anyone who's driven recent FSD beta versions knows very well that the cars "see just fine". They don't hit anything, they see and avoid obstacles. Frankly they're much more observant than humans are, my car will twitch when pedestrians turn as if they're going to enter the road (where human drivers mostly don't notice, and if they do they ignore it). What problems still exist are in planning: things like sign reading, lane selection, etc... still need some work. But collision avoidance just isn't an issue. It isn't. The LIDAR folks were wrong, basically.

(I will admit though that I'm a little sad about the removal of the ultrasound sensors though. It's true the autonomy probably doesn't need them, but I really like having the chimes to guide parking and garage maneuvering.)
I "hope" for lighter cars in the same way I "hope" we start taking necessary drastic measures to combat climate change, which is by knowing that it won't happen and advocating for change anyway.

On the other hand, I think maybe hoping that vehicles become no heavier than modern EVs is at least somewhat realistic.

The F-15 and the F-16 were just so good. Also there are many versions of those.

The mirror image of this is combined heat and power (CHP). That is, instead of burning fuel to heat the home, use the fuel to power a generator of some sort, and using the electricity to power the home. The waste heat (most of the energy from the fuel ends up as waste heat) is then captured to heat the home It's basically free electricity, if you were already heating the home by means of combustion anyway (e.g. oil, natural gas, propane).
This is the kind of “feature” which you may not realize you’re buying.

Also, the earlier we raise a stink about the incredible user hostility of something that can’t be opened in motion, and can’t be opened with a dead battery, the better the chances that it won’t be widely adopted.
You can achieve strong eventual consistency with this system.
By less code I mean less logic, not less characters. Less code generally means less work for the CPU (faster), less surface area for attacks, a smaller codebase that is easier to pick up and work on. When working with sets of numerical data, there are often two or more ways to come up with the desired result. A dumb imperative way, that may involve several loops and stages, or a simple and intelligent way that requires a deeper understanding of the math to implement properly. I've seen pages of slow code reduced to a few simple lines that are performant and easy to grok.
You can get very compact 35mm bodies now, but lenses tended to grow in recent years to cope with the growing pixel counts. So overall a mFT kit will be significant smaller than 35mm unless you talk about a Leica M :)

The Olympus 25/1.2 is a stunning lens, but certainly large for a mFT lens. it is still slightly smaller than a Leica 50/2 L-mount lens.
> London and Paris are more dense than Singapore and by far the best places to live in Europe.

Did you by chance mean "most expensive"?

In any case I've been to London and Zurich and in my personal view the latter is in a wholly different league than the former in terms of general niceness.
Bloomberg is obviously very successful in the financial services industry. Look into the Bloomberg terminal and it’s pricing mode.

>But the fact is that what people are complaining about when it comes to Twitter moderation is not that they will see objectionable opinions, but that the people who have objectionable opinions are able to speak anywhere, even to each other.

I'm also baffeld by this but that's one of the biggest selling point of Mastodon apparently. Everyone deserves their own safe space (except those who we don't like) so just make multiple little echo chambers.
I've been surprised lately by the number of people that don't know about or understand HTTP headers. One discussion I saw was on a project that was trying to decide what language to serve a webpage in. They spent a good amount of time choosing a geo-location provider and library and then deciding what language to default to for locations that often had multiple languages. I asked why they didn't just use the Accept-Language header, which they weren't aware of.
I suspect the reason why they think that leaving censored platforms is useful for them is that everybody apes the black civil rights struggle in the US whenever they have any political disagreement, and it feels like a boycott. They just don't remember that the reason boycotts work is because they do economic damage, and instead think that there's some other magical effect that will cause Twitter et. al. to shut up shop after they leave (the most commonly cited is that "it will turn into 4chan and everybody else will leave.")

But not only would social networks not turn into 4chan if they reverted to pre-2020 moderation policies, but 4chan has been around for 20 years. If you want to keep people from talking to each other, starving them of your presence is not going to be the way to do it.

So all this was caused... because people were able to port their phone numbers easily?

That was the example that was brought up.

Yes, some government regulations are bad. But some are good.

And this example of being able to port your phone number... seems to be a pretty simple, uncontroversial, and good feature, that could possibly be applied to social media companies as well.
I'm in the UK, extra humidity is the last thing I'd ever want in winter.

At the moment, I've got two beefy dehumidifiers running and I'm still at between 70-85% humidity in each room. I don't have any damp or leaks, it's just that the outdoor humidity has been 80-90% for the last few weeks, so ventilation is futile. And because of the weather at the moment, we're drying clothes indoors.
Sure, but using auto-focus is even easier. I can achieve focus in under a second. And with subject detection + eye-AF, there really is no comparison.

In my opinion, focus peaking is somewhat useful for video, macro and astro. I say somewhat because it depends on the implementation. Some implementations (e.g. Sony) also apply in-camera picture settings (which adds sharpening to the output of the JPEG engine - which feeds the EVF), which can give you a false sense of sharp-focus. You'll see a ton of red, when actually the red is coming from the JPEG sharpening, not the change in focus.
More importantly, we have a tremendous data "engine" processing input from our senses. So assuming for a second that cameras match what our eyes can do, you still do not have a processing engine on the level of our brain to make sense of those inputs.
And then I said "Happy Halloween".

It took me several years and as many attempts to get into it and commit, but once I committed and got past the (awful) forward, I went front to back over the course of a month or two. As sibling comment says, it's very repetitive, but it's also iterative; PKD is trying to make sense of a lot of things at once, over and over again with slight tweaks. Each time he gets closer and closer to essentially rewriting Christian Gnosticism (imo) from the ground up.

It honestly changed my life. There were times when I would have dreams and thoughts along similar lines and then end up reading them in the pages that night. It is worth a read if you're in a dark place, because it might give you the same sense of "I'm not alone" that it did to me.

Certainly ain't for everyone, but the reward is great.
I've used a similar model successfully in work situations where a decision is taking too long to make but is something that's reversible: pick a path, and put a note in the calendar to review that decision in a couple of weeks time.

If it turns out to be the wrong direction you can course correct then.

This really helps if not everyone on a team is convinced that it's the right decision: they can commit to it knowing that there will be a chance to change direction pretty soon if it turns out not to work.
