One of my biggest regrets in life is not discovering how pleasant running can be until I was almost thirty. The first couple of months sucked as I was training my cardiovascular system for pretty much the first time ever. Eventually I got to the point I looked forward to twice weekly 5Ks.

The payoff has been totally worth it. Nowadays every yearly physical the doctor tells me "you're healthy as a horse." Contrast that with my physical a year earlier that suggested I was tipping into prediabetic territory.

Did plenty of strength training throughout my twenties and some vigorous high school sports, but embarrassingly had not run a mile since elementary school PE class.

My advice to younger folks: don't skip cardio. Heavy lifting alone won't really get you where you want to be unless you do 5+ days a week and are otherwise active. Get rid of the bro split and commit to at least 2 days of cardio each week instead.
There are very typical archetypes that benefit from top MBAs and if your background isn’t one of those, then it won’t help. For example I doubt an associate (who is black) at a major IB firm gets much worse outcomes from an Ivy League MBA than their white peers. If black people are over represented in the people who are admitted but not from those backgrounds that stand to most benefit, it would stand to reason their outcomes would be on average worse. But that doesn’t mean taking an arbitrary white MBA grad and making them black would make their outcomes much worse
That's cited as 1 ton of CO2 emissions:

> Just how much is one ton of CO2? As much as a typical gas-powered car emits in about 2,500 miles of driving

2.4 - 16 tons in manufacture of a 80 kWh battery = 6000-40000 miles.

That's not accounting for the GHG's emitted in generation of the electricity, which if it's coal based takes longer to claw back (and there's probably a million other things to take into consideration, weight increase is often one).

Not to shit on EV's. I think they are the future and will be a great improvement, especially in cities, but there is a non FUD manufacturing cost that needs to be worked off.
Thank you.

It's clear that the first step will involve hitting up people in my professional/personal networks, with a minor foray into setting up basic passive exposure (website/etc).

This is described as an "Insane Business Request", but it seems like a useful business question to be able to answer, although maybe scientifically difficult.

A mentor once told me that the best way to get started in a new modelling field is to read all the cutting edge papers, and then actually implement whatever baseline model they're claiming to improve upon.
Hey! That ships with my voice! Well, a synthetic version of it anyway. It used to be horribly robotic, but they've improved it quite a bit for mimic-3. Worth a look.

> Biden assembled a larger coalition than Obama did in 2012.

So your answer to my question is yes, you are claiming that Trump is more popular than Obama and Reagan?

> Biden is and has always been popular among Democrats and he won independents in 2020.

Is that why Biden lost the Democratic nomination 2 times before, in 1988 and 2008?

The eligible voting population was 26 million higher in 2020 than in 2008. Moreover, voting by mail rules during the pandemic and a close race (Biden won Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin by a combined 43 thousand votes) helped to elevate voter turnout in 2020.

7 states had a margin of victory less than 3%, and Biden won 6 of those. 2020 was an extremely close election. Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump, but that entire margin is accounted for by California and New York, where Biden won 63% and 61% of the vote.

you’re unwilling to view it as a coherent and related thought

“improved” is the operative word that you seem to ignore or view as contradictory

Thank you for the longer reply and the well wishes.

Now I have pretty good clarity on the next steps so I'll just go ahead and execute.
Slightly OT: have you considered using some kind of automation to generate these messages? ( or perhaps this is an automated message).
For me it was design patterns. I read the book in the late 90s. I was working mostly on Mac development using PowerPlant. But despite the fact that it used several of the design patterns described in the Gang of Four book, many of them still didn’t seem very clear to me. Then when MacOS became OS X, and I started using Cocoa, it just clicked. Having delegates finally made sense, for example. Previously, it was so abstract, but once I saw it in action within Cocoa, it made a lot more sense for some reason.
Well the "trust me bro" marketers (and developers) have told them this is all good. Is it responsible, idk, probably not.

Then again, the point the GP seems to make is that this kind of platform should not be adopted for anything important, let the gamblers gamble if they want but don't try to sell it to the general public.
I had the same problem. Then I took a math course where we covered the general fourier transform and it made way more sense. An the FFT is the result of a simplifying transformation based on discrete regularly spaced points and that's really opaque from the other side.
Well you'll have to define common, then. From the parent comment and "cases mentioned online" I would personally say it's common enough in the US. It's how our system works.
1. Functional programing

It took me a while, but once it clicked, everything changed. Programming became a process of data consumption, transformation and then presentation. It was if/then/loops/classes/libraries/languages before that.

2. Entropy

The example of the messy room that gets messier with time is probably the worst. Entropy is everywhere (in real life or in IT); and it’s actually the reverse of that example. For me now, entropy is life.

3. Bitcoin

I was quite a crypto/bitcoin skeptic back until 2014-2015. The whole thing seemed like a ponzi/pump&dumb scheme. Until I read the book “Mastering Bitcoin”. It goes into the details of how Bitcoin works. That’s when Bitcoin (as a cool technology) clicked to me. I still see the trading activity as suspicious but I made my peace with it as humans doing what humans always do: speculation.
Haha, my apologies! :) I just thought I'd tell you a bit about what kind of company we are, so that you have an idea what to look for. Good luck with the job hunt!
This comment makes my LinkedIn make a lot more sense
Since you seem to be based in Stockholm, I suggest you sign up for a dev talent program in Stockholm. You get trained by a reputable tech company and if you pass the talent program, you get sent to further training to a potential future employer. My team (in Stockholm) is getting a new potentially permanent member in a month or so. The person switched their careers (age 30+) and I, amongst others will be training them to work with our codebase. If they perform well, they will be recommended for a permanent position.

Example: https://www.knowit.se/karriar/trainee/

There are at least 5 such programs.

While you are applying and waiting, I also recommend to pick a tech stack that is attractive for employers in Stockholm.

TypeScript, react, net core web api (c#) and MSSQL are the only tools you need to master in order to become very attractive to all major employers here. Start learning these and publish your learning project on GitHub and you will be well on your way. Heck, when you are done building your asp.net core webapi+typescript react frontend project (a basic todo app, something that demonstrates CRUD (create, read, update and delete), contact me and I will get you an interview.
> Or does each check need its own set of iterations?

This is exactly what a password-key derivation function is. Each check is an independent process involving the unique salt stored in cleartext. Normally (OWASP recommendations) each password check is about 310,000 iterations of SHA256, or a more complex construction like Argon2.

The problem here is that LastPass had 5000 iterations of SHA256 for a lot of accounts, and some accounts mysteriously have even lower iteration counts.
it was very hard for me to understand what was the point of classes when I opened my first C++ book when I was.. 11/12?

thankfully it became very clear as soon as I started having actual projects and noticing all the C apis I was writing would all look like

foo* foo_create();
void foo_destroy(foo*);
void foo_set_stuff(foo*, int);
void foo_bloberize(foo*);
Yeah, it's really interesting how I'm able not to blurt out stuff interrupting a peer mid-sentence when on stimulants, versus without, where I'd do that without thinking to the point of saying sorry, and go into circular trains of thought where it takes sometime to get to the core idea.

I've also been in the other end, normally when I'm sleep deprived + stimulant; I'd get very irritated with interruptions, sort of like the classical type-A obsessive coworker with little patience that we all hate.

There also some cultures more or less tolerant to this, in Germany people can be quite anal about this, similar to North America in colder states, while in southern Europe it's fine.
Thanks for the response! I appreciate it much more than the downvotes, and it gives me a position to consider.

I still find myself in disagreement - there need to be safeguards at the protocol level, and not just for ordinary people.

Escrow and restitution could be built as a feature where trustless and anonymous transactions can still take place. Taking into account my previous post, imagine this setup:

There are now two types of wallets/addresses. One type functions exactly as Bitcoin does today. The other type, however, automatically subjects transactions to temporally-gated restitution systems and allows you to recover funds if a side channel refund request is made.

Funds in the original Bitcoin wallet type experience transactions that are instant and non-refundable, and you can keep "hot" funds here. The "cold" wallet type requires more time to pass before the funds "settle". It can function as your bank and offer lots of additional security.

It'd be easy to make the wallet type an identifiable part of the address so that all parties know what types of transactions they're involved in.

This extension to the protocol could be 100% opt-in.

It seems like since MacOS X become free that it has succumb more and more to the pressure of a regular release cycle, instead of less, which is the opposite of what you’d expect for an unpaid product.

I've been playing around with LiDAR apps and I agree; they are amazing for quickly building up models, but especially for anything not room-scale, the resolution is too low for detail work (like 3D printing reproduction) without a lot of touch ups.

More advanced apps seem to combine the data but take a bit longer to come up with a usable model or require post processing.

Even if someone uses "123456" or "Password1," the salt will prevent the hashes from being identical. This means each vault has to be individually brute forced instead of having one master rainbow table.

Everyone cites this EPA piece with heavy use of the word "typically" throughout.

The gp has made two statements:

1) that manufacturing is more polluting.

This is confirmed by your EPA link - the graph shows EVs are ~ twice as polluting in this area.

> Some studies have shown that making a typical EV can create more carbon pollution than making a gasoline car. This is because of the additional energy required to manufacture an EV’s battery.

2) that in 2016, the breakeven wasn't met.

Your EPA link states figures are from 2020. Obviously the breakeven is going to vary greatly by region depending on grid mix, but renewables in the US mix used in the EPA figures has grown ~33% between 2016 & 2020 so the difference isn't going to be small here.

The gp's line may be a myth on technicalities, but not a particularly binary right-wrong one. It's recently been a close enough call to be worthy of discussion, rather than the dogmatic claims of dishonesty in the replies.
You might be surprised to learn a lot of servers even have largish time drift. I might be repeating info which is getting out of date but I heard 30 second drift isn't uncommon. Obviously doing NTP syncing more frequently would probably help that.
Good exercise but FYI ESPHome is probably the way to go for most people.

All the sensors you mentioned are likely already supported and just need to be added to a yaml file.

This is where history and archeology diverge.

We know how bad things were in Europe and East Asia because written records survive which describe the crop failures etc. We don't have records from that time period from Africa or South America. All we can do is assume that people there suffered as well, due to the global nature of the problem.

Sometimes people get left out of historical narratives because there just aren't any written records. You can make assumptions, or you can try to make stuff up, but an intellectually honest historian is also likely to just say "we can't know."

In contrast, archaeologists will try to make a case for how hierarchical a society was, or whether it was male-dominated, or what kind of religion it had, on the basis of a few tombs belonging to "high-status individuals" and a couple of pieces of pottery. It's always a bit of a stretch. A lot of what archaeologists believed about prehistory. especially migrations of people groups, has been overturned by genetic studies in the past decade. David Reich wrote a good book about it several years ago, which is probably itself outdated now due to the pace of discovery in that field.

To be fair the British are opening the doors to let it happen.

Interesting. I don’t see any additional value using Java over any other language for long term software that is actually maintained - supporting eg old versions of the compiler / runtime is an indication the parent is in the (still very common in some companies) ‘make it and it’s done’ approach. Oracle is appealing to the same companies that want to run Operating Systems till the end of life.
This has nothing to do with the security of Bitcoin. No one has ever compromised the Bitcoin protocol.

This is a case of someone expecting a single machine connected to the internet that had been compromised in the past, to not be compromised again.

Very little software has rigorous security review, even the Linux kernel. Linux Odays sell for $50-100k. If you are storing anything more valuable than that on an internet connected Linux machine, it will eventually be stolen.

Use an offline machine or a hardware wallet for anything that matters to you.

Heck yes. But I'm weird that way. It took me until I was in my 40s to realize the majority of women I had dated would be defined as black in most people's eyes. I hadn't even thought about race or defining anyone. I'm super white with blue eyes but my dad has what my mom termed a 'Mediterranean complexion' and my grandma was even 'more Mediterranean' with 'kinky' hair (she wasn't being racist just trying to point something out to me that I failed to understand, even after her pointing them out). My poor mom. She tried to explain my grandparents didn't approve of my dad because he was different. I was like 'oh, because of his long hair'. My mom gave up at that point.

I feel bad for the woman who kept pointing out she was from Oakland and I kept just treating her like the Santa Cruz surf betties I had dated before not realizing what she was hinting at or that I might be taking her out of her comfort zone. I like to think the date we boogie boarded all day then ate pizza in the back of my truck while the porpoises swam by (learn their schedule Las Selva/Aptos peeps, 'running into' porpoises at the beach adds a little extra magic to a date for valleys not used to it) was good and not too uncomfortable.
> And I'm not trying to suggest that US/Anglo culture is superior in any way.

But that’s your ultimate point.

> But I would suggest that children living their parents' lives, or for their parents' approval, is a recipe for deep dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and lost opportunities for many many people. Some communities impose their "traditional" (usually hierarchical and patriarchal) expectations on the next generation more strongly than others.

In desi culture, it’s very important that children follow the right track, which their parents understand, instead of their own impulses. This cultural disposition is conducive to success—desi children are far more successful in American society than American children from similar economic backgrounds.

It’s also a recipe for contentment. You assert that living for what parents wants makes kids unhappy, but it seems to me that it’s American kids, who grow up being told to “follow their bliss,” who end up unhappy when their silly and unrealistic dreams fail to materialize. If you look at the statistics, from suicides to drug overdoses to cratering family formation, the western approach isn’t going that well.

> And I would characterize moving away from those kinds of traditional expectations, as progress toward a more (difficult, but) chosen and intentional life.

Individual “choice” is a distinctly western fixation. Worshiping the impulsiveness of youth over the judgment and experience of elders is a western fixation. It’s sad that so many desis conflate “being more westernized” with “progress.”
Sounds like the biggest factor is the lack of onerous American-style zoning regulations, which permits interesting uses of real estate to emerge intermingled with each other; as opposed to the suburban American standard of "everyone must live here in this zone, drive to this other zone to work, then drive to this other zone to grocery shop".
