despite massive economic growth (GDP quintupled)

In real dollars it less than doubled (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/gdpc1#0).

the market was valuing what at the time was the most prominent index of blue-chip companies at the same market capitalization they had at the beginning of the 17 years.

And during those 17 years those companies paid out roughly their entire original value in dividends.

It's true that the Dow lagged the overall economy during that period, but not nearly to the degree that the quote implies.
That's the basic premise behind Piketty's book "Capitalism in the 21st Century". From wikipedia:

"The book's central thesis is that when the rate of return on capital (r) is greater than the rate of economic growth (g) over the long term, the result is concentration of wealth, and this unequal distribution of wealth causes social and economic instability. Piketty proposes a global system of progressive wealth taxes to help reduce inequality and avoid the vast majority of wealth coming under the control of a tiny minority."
I think that is debatable. A lot of urban water is wasted on lawns, pools, and parks. It is not unthinkable that it could be reduced by 25-50% per person if you banned these things. Church and government water use you mention also fall under the control of the urban governments.

That said, there is always the 2nd option of purchasing more water.
Oh, I guess I misinterpreted that because it's a bizarre speculation.

Shwartzworld is correct, the votes are fuzzed and deliberately fluctuate so that it's difficult for bots to tell whether they've been detected.

Spent $150CAD on a combo Ninja air-fryer / pressure cooker. You pressure cook the food then air fry it. Crazy!
I remember people advising to buy things with loans and invest your cash because your returns are more than your interest rate. If you don't need that money for 10+ years, that might make sense, but when things go south, your money (and probably your income) will be gone, but you'll still have payments. (That's assuming the money is actually invested, and not frivolously spent.) Advice like that is why Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and JPMorgan are rubbing their hands in their shiny towers. F*** them.
It seems like an exercise in mathematical self-absorption, but it's really a fundamental question for science: assuming you have equations and even a model of the world that is really, really close, is that any kind of proof?

And even if math/logic is granted its perfect world, it's never even self-complete.

Welcome back to the world of practical wisdom, where the rest of us live and work :)
This is a good thing for ZFS and public perception of ZFS. Ubuntu has made some very poor choices with how they've integrated ZFS -

* zsys has both implementation and design flaws. They utilize two zpools - one with limited feature flags that GRUB can use and one general pool, and then try to tightly couple datasets between those two pools while coordinating snapshots. zsys routinely runs a system out of space due to not cleaning up snapshots. It's been known to destroy user data as well.

https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys/issues/196

https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys/issues/218

* Their packaging was and is still very sloppy. It's quite common to catch people running one version of kernel modules and another version of userland tools - often multiple releases apart. This has led to some serious problems.

(no direct source for this, typically noted in libera.chat#zfsonlinux)

* Ubuntu has created and applied bad patches to ZFS, resulting in destroyed pools.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/190...

If your exposure to ZFS is through Ubuntu and zsys, you'd naturally have a very poor opinion of it. ZFS, of course, isn't with out flaws. Ubuntu is not helping.
You jest but arrive at precisely the point I want to make. When there are actual "artisans" who are violating civil rights with their "hands" (i.e. real police officers, judges, district attorneys), wrongdoers can be brought to justice, however unsatisfactory that process may be. But when a nameless corporation sells a faceless software product that violates civil rights, the diffusion of responsibility is much, much easier.
> the main challenge of the game, combat

This narrow view is like claiming Minecraft only has about 2 hours of gameplay, because that's how long it takes to beat the ender dragon. It's perfectly possible to enjoy dwarf fortress in a completely sealed off fortress.

The problem with every game that attempts to be in DF's genre (Rimworld, O2NI, etc) is that, as commercial products first, they lack depth. They're built to be a game first and foremost, rather than than an art project that's fun to to explore. The surface level game mechanics are fun, in many ways improvements over Dwarf Fortress's. But they cannot compete with the incredibly rich simulation complexity that DF has obtained. World generation, history generation, characters with complex feelings and motivations, mechanics that interact with other in myriad ways. DF is a fantasy world simulator first, and a game a distant second.

And that's its biggest strength: compared to other games in the genre, DF is infinitely replayable, because there are an infinite number of interesting things to experience. Kings gaining power thanks to backroom deals with criminal organizations blackmailing their competitors, Necromancers forming towers to hold their book club meetings where they discus "An Analysis of Urist Svolgen's Musings on ovin Gentrout's Review of The Secrets of Life and Death", a werepanther that repeatedly terrorizes not just your fortress, but also all the surrounding sites drowning in a lake because they turned back into a human while trying to swim across a moat.

Can combat be improved? Of course. But I'll take additional mechanics that explode into emergent behavior any day. And I would love to find another game that even comes close, but Rimworld sure as shit ain't it.
I hoard the information I have actually read (sometimes even stuff I did not read thoroughly) into my own, personal, searchable version of the internet, so that I can easily refer back to it, retrieve an old article and share it.

To do that I use a paying account of pinboard.in
Are you certain? I've played the classic version for ten years and the Steam release has completely different hotkeys, and is missing keyboard control for some tasks entirely.

A game-changer is something else imo.
I did a little search and found this Tesla forum post suggesting that Teslas won't use regenerative braking when the battery is full: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-should-update-...

> "most of us charge to a user-specified software limit of say 70%, 80%, 90%, etc. When you first set out on your next drive after charging to that capacity there's a warning that regenerative braking won't function 100% until some juice is used up to make room."
The tech is pretty hard to argue against. I mean you can literally look at what it contains and it's a heating element and a fan. Nothing more. You can Google this for yourself if you don't believe me but you'll find a lot of people patiently explaining this exact same point.

There may be a case that there's better circulation in most air fryers vs most fan forced ovens. In fact that's true in my case as my large oven and my air fryer have fans the same size (so more relative circulation in the smaller air fryer).

But they are the same tech. The difference in relative fan size probably has some effect but it's not a rule, it's really just a case of how big the fan in the device is and you may have air fryers with smaller or larger relative fan sizes and ovens with smaller or larger relative fan sizes.

If you're wondering why ovens now have 'air fryer' mode that's because marketing. I suspect it spins the fan a little faster.
This one is quite suspicious.

Imagine you're the proverbial alien tasked with introducing sentient life on Earth without arising much suspicion. Replacing useless DNA with de novo genes (of high correlation) would likely be your favorite approach.

Whereas I'm not even sure that a million of generations is sufficient to evolve new genes from scratch (i.e. not via duplication or fixing)

That's SLIME specific. SBCL's own REPL has it.

* (defun foo (x)
(declare (optimize (debug 3)))
(let ((n 10))
(break)
(* x n)))
FOO

* (foo 3) ; calling foo
(foo 3)

We get a break repl:

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-CONDITION

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
0: [CONTINUE] Return from BREAK.
1: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(FOO 3)
source: (BREAK)

Let's change the local variable N of the running function FOO:

0] (setf n 12)
(setf n 12)

12

Return from the break:

0] 0 ; restart 0
0
36

Note that you may want to reduce the optimization level of SBCL, since by default everything is compiled, and its optimizing compiler might get rid of a few of the variables during compilation. For example the compiler might detect that N's literal value 10 is not changed in the function and replace the variable access to N with the compile-time value. That's why I used the DEBUG quality 3 (highest) to tell the compiler to not optimize the code.
One confounding factor: In a true free market(tm), limited liability corporations wouldn't exist in their current form. So employers can be a lot larger, and gain more bargaining power over employees because of a government intervention that protects corporation owners from liability.

It's hard to be a true free market libertarian when the initial conditions aren't really that free...
I recommend a basket type and getting the biggest in area and power you can find. The surface area is important. More even and better you can spread the food better the result.

It works by forcing air from the top to the food, not slowly from the back like regular oven. So you get better result if food isn't piled up over itself.
Exactly. If you ever have opened up an "air fryer", it's literally just a circular electric stove element with a metal fan above it blowing down.

Any way you look at this device, is substandard, not frying, and best saving your money elsewhere.
That's the opposite of what you want. Good mods are those that are invested in the community and are well-known and respected participants.

While you go into detail on the generation of the world, I think the simulation is another major factor that goes into it.

Once you start playing the game, the level of detail used in generating the world is now used applied locally to simulating it. An example I like to use is to explain a bug where people's games were ending poorly (or with lots of FUN in dwarf fortress speak) because dwarfs were having mental breakdowns because their pet cats were dying. Which was because the game simulated the cats well enough that they could get alcohol poisoning and die. But why were the cats drinking that much alcohol? Because when they walked through dining rooms, the game simulated the dwarves getting drunk and spilling alcohol which stayed on the floor for some amount of time. If a cat walked over it, it got on their fur. When the cat cleaned themselves, which was also simulated, they would consume some of the alcohol on their fur. The bug was that each micro-dose of alcohol from licking themselves was accidentally being calculated like a full flagon of ale providing the small cat with far too much alcohol.

The level of the world generation with the level of simulation create a basis for a fantasy immersion that you cannot find elsewhere. The UI limitations, even with the steam version, do prevent most from becoming immersed into the world, but there seems to be a crowd who are brought in by the fidelity of the simulation and who can get past the UI that let's them experience something that cannot be found elsewhere.
Why? They don’t like money?
Verbal battles are not like physical battles. The later lead to harm and death, the former - to some form of truth.
Apart from all the usual stuff (DNS, email, NFS, SMB, iSCSI, DHCP, HTTP, Wikis) the biggest thing is as a diskless server. There are many, many boxes here without disks in them that boot off it from old 386/486s (NE2000s with boot ROMs) through far too many Pis to modern Intel and AMD boxes running various linux and windows version (nice thing about diskless, you can have literally as many different distros as you like on the same PC).

Longer term ambition is to get the PDP11's booting off it as well.
My question was: I heard claims that Ukraine was murdering Russian-speaking minority in Donbass before the Russian invasion and that this was the justification for the invasion. Are there serious independent sources that can prove or disprove this claim?
No because in a well designed experiment the baselines would be control measurements performed for the purpose of the experiment on the cell lines in question.

In general cellular morphology is a proxy for more direct measurements. For example, you could imagine that some drug induces metabolic changes in cancer cells, and pick it up by noting the cells look a bit different or you could directly measure the metabolic changes using an FL system. Its not obvious what these measurements produce a baseline for.

We just got that as a backup to our (older, Polish-made model) Philips air fryer. The Philips is much better, although the instant pot is as serviceable as other brands of air fryers we have used. All air fryers get grease build up below. If it's the same recipe, you were likely eating that before, so I am happy to see it.
Is street homelessness really driven by people who couldn't pay their rent? You would think they'd stay away from drug-addled violent tent cities - and sleep in a car or at a friend's house.

If they were just straight facts ads would be just bullet lists of features, the price, together with delivery costs and methods.

No colour, no pictures that are not strictly informative, no reviews, stars, celebrity endorsements, etc.

Perhaps someone in the AI/ML field should create a tool that distils ads down to such a bare-bones representation. I won't say down to their essence because the essence of most ads is the high octane sell not the informative part. Then instead of blocking ads uBlock and friends could fetch the distilled version.

The Wine developers are allowed to read whatever they want. They may choose to have a policy not to, because it makes it easier for them to prove that they didn't make unlawful use of proprietary code: they can't have copied something that they never read. If you reproduce something independent of knowledge of the original then that is a defense against copyright infringement. This is essentially the "Clean Room" tactic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design
I'm with you on the first part. If I'm subordinate or dependent in a relationship, just openly treat me that way; there's no shame in that. The patronizing nicespeak is more objectionable.
It sounds like because there is a very complex 3D structure that the 'spacing' function could actually be extremely important. Far more so than zeros in machine code.
>"The beauty of reddit is that you can create your own subreddit with your own mods and have the discourse that you want."

The "just start your own" strategy rarely works, and at the end of the day you're still on a platform that can ban your little upstart for any reason it wants. That's assuming the people in the main subreddit even learn that your alternative exists, as the mods don't want people leaving their little fiefdom and can ban you for mentioning it. This mindset is also counterproductive because it advocates for completely and totally giving up any effort to address the problem in the main subreddit. It lets the troublesome moderators run unchallenged and can make things even worse.
I think the problem is implementation. Every site does it slightly differently, so you have to read the overlay, usually after dismissing the overlays to sign up for their mailing list and live chat, and then decide what to do. At which point you are probably more likely to just accept and move on.

It should probably work more like the permissions in iOS for tracking. I should be able to set it once, my browser should send a header to the site, and I shouldn't have to think about it. We all know why they won't do this: the majority of people would opt out.
> I hope I'm wrong, but in the absence of hardliner ideologues following the money is a very accurate predictor of how large sociopathic entities comprised of many humans who are "just doing their jobs" (e.g. states) act.

i was with you until the bit about “the state”.

from what i understand of the situation, the government isn’t watering the rocky, dry, dusty chunks of land that are being used as farms. these are privately owned individuals and companies throwing water away.

if the state (whether utah, or federal) declares that its absurd to waste water attempting to grow crops in _the desert_ then certain people will declare the government is unfairly throwing its weight around.

the coming water wars are gonna be such a mess unless steps are taken now to mitigate.

related sidenote: i vaguely remember reading a few years ago that oil barons were buying up land all over, separating the water rights and reselling the land minus the water rights. does anyone know of any good recent studies or reading on this?
90+% of the population in Utah is urban. The idea that the <10% of voters run the show is absurd.

Owning the water rights and the land are separate issues from political influence. That is a legal matter, not political.

There are negative externalities to that.

I can't tell if this is parody or not. Either way, the proposal is stupid and amounts to check-and-guess. Zero analysis of probability of success. Zero estimate of resources required.

But this makes me think the article is not actually parody:

> If you want to send some cryptocurrency to someone else, you encrypt the transaction using their public key which is as its name suggests, public, and your private key which is known only to you.

Encryption does occur on some chains, but none of the widely-used ones. So, not parody and just another ignorant take.
It has not yet been addressed to my knowledge, but I'm hoping that with an additional developer on board, it will come more quickly even if it's not a top priority.

Even the books and essays he wrote before WWII have the same lucid style and clarity of thought: so it may be fair to say Orwell was always interested in clear (seeing and thinking and) communication, even before noticing how much of the opposite there was everywhere.

First, thanks for taking the time to respond. Like I said, I do hope I'm wrong.

I will admit, this does seem like a pretty good use for computers.

I just I hope it's not part of the slippery slope to letting machines do our thinking for us. (Then again, what if they do a better job than we do!?)

I'm curious about how you detect and correct problems with the machine material? E.g. the (presumably automatic) error of substituting "phantom" for "fathom"?

Does your machine take a overconfident stance, or does it understand its own limits and help the child to know that it is not infallible?
I was a network engineer for many years and had a setup consisting of cast-off enterprise gear until I got tired of managing enterprise gear.

Now my setup is:

Gigabit Fiber ONT -> Dell Optiplex 980 running OPNsense -> cheap gigabit switch feeding patch panel to in-wall CAT6 -> 2x hardwired Eero Pro6e APs. A 10-gig switch sits in my office and all of my 10-gig devices are connected to it to access an all-SSD NAS over NFS and Samba.

Every device that has an ethernet jack is hardwired.

The 12 year old i5-540 in the Optiplex is capable of 300mbps wireguard VPN connections, which is more than enough for the hotel wifi I use to connect back to home. Optiplexes are so cheap that I have two, with a pre-configured spare sitting right next to the running system ready to go.

I run a lot of services but am smart enough to know that I am too dumb to port-forward responsibly so while everything has an entry in my local DNS server if I need to access anything remotely, I do so via the VPN.
> when it is mandated it ceases to be courtesy

I don't think there's anything contradictory about mandated courtesy, unless you mean it in the sense of "consideration". I think the primary meaning is closer to etiquette than consideration though. The etymology of the term is derived from courtliness, i.e. behavior in a King's court.
