> just trying to offer the best practical advice I have

It's good advice. But imho it doesn't scale in the way it should, in the way the "invisible hand" should work.

The main thing is that imho consumers have too little leverage to really make meaningful impact.

e.g. I have a microwave form '82 that still works flawlessly. That was a bargain model at the time. More recent "luxury" appliances have broken within 10 years of ownership on me. How can a consumer, today, possibly be certain they're getting the high quality thing that will last decades? It's absolutely impossible, standing in a store, choosing a thing based on price/feature-set to get the durable vs disposable. That trade-off just cannot be made for the majority of material things in stores.

The same with feature-less vs feature-full. Once you go feature-less, options completely dwindle. That's the curse. If the market does work, it flattens everything not to best-of-breed or bang-for-buck but instead to lowest-common-denominator, sub-optimal.

I think you missed facts that I already referenced in my post: v1 GUIDs have timestamps and machine keys for sorting. The proposed v6 and v7 UUIDs have timestamps again. The "no meaning of GUID sort" today again seems purely an accident of v4 becoming the most common type of GUID/UUID not an actual intent by GUID/UUID developers especially given how important sorting was to v1 GUIDs.

(That's part what makes GUID/UUID sort so inconsistent today: there's still a major database used by lots of applications that sorts even v4 UUIDs by v1 machine key then v1 timestamp!) The sort of GUIDs have too many meanings in practice today, even when you assume the majority of GUIDs you see are v4 UUIDs.
Do you do mostly staff augmentation or do you have a true speciality/niche which you get brought in to do?
I dunno. I could take Stewart --I understood him. I could not find appreciation in Colbert --not least of which is the weird way he says his last name (despite how his own family says it). John Oliver comes across as a prigish prick. At least Noah didn't bring that abrasiveness.
I'd love to know how that relates to the story first.
The first author named on the paper is...interesting. A literal ghost writer.
I agree that D&D doesn't need to be the default tabletop RPG anymore. But you bet I want the freedom to borrow everything I liked from every version of it I played (which doesn't include anything recent, by the way). I want to be able to talk about it online too, hell, even PLAY it online.

And if Hasbro are so desperate to prevent that from happening that they'll call in the shit-flinging lawyers - the kind who don't even try to have a solid argument, they just try to make engaging with them maximally unpleasant to everyone involved - then I will be most pissed with Hasbro.

You too, will have to live in fear of attracting their attention. The whole point of this sort of litigation is that they're signaling, they're not going to be reasonable. Are you SURE you're not infringing in the shit-flinging lawyers' eyes?

That doesn't sound like a good opportunity to explore to me.

So the manufacturer gets revenue from the sale but externalizes the cost of trashing the device.

The buyer personally benefits from many features for cheap, and externalizes the environmental cost to society.

I say it is good design, from a business perspective.

I loved Noah's run on TDS. I would've preferred Stewbeef of course, because I love me some J-Stew, but Noah was alright and grew into his role in one of the most tumultuous times of our nation's history and the world around us.

Anyone who criticizes him for "shitting" on America, it's institutions, and it's people, are just mad that they belong to the groups he was shitting on. It's ok! Be mad. It's funnier that way.
I'll be the devil here-- I played a Magic event with my teenage son last year and it was a blast. We're not big collectors, but over the holidays we got some commander decks and I played with my sons.

It's amazing to me that they have kept Magic that relevant and commercial that long. People always complain about "greedy" corporations but guess what? Greedy corporations make the books, movies, video games, board games that you play. If they were failing no one would complain. In these spaces complaints about your motives come with success.

Are you suggesting that the cost of materials has any impact at all on the inflated price of a house in the UK?
My local area has been devastated by historically unprecedented floods twice just this year, with nearly complete destruction of all local infrastructure. I know two people who drowned. I have had complete loss of roads and bridges out of the valley where I live, necessitating long walks with a backpack to get supplies. Internet and electricity gone for weeks at a time. My nearest town (Lismore, NSW) may not survive at all. Large numbers of people here, many in their 50s and over, are now homeless, living in tents and caravans. Such consequences, having been predicted now for over 30 years and systematically suppressed or rubbished by the fossil fuel industry and their purchases in government, are happening all over the world. Waves of further natural disasters, and the consequent millions of refugees spreading across the world, will cause political convulsions making the last couple of years seem like an oasis of stability.

My anger is not religious, it's personal grief and fear about the destruction of our physical world. Anyone who is not angry by the sheer vast scale of the emergency is a fool or a psychopath.

Your trivial focus on the temerity of companies working in the climate change area trying to make money, as opposed to the worldwide horrific real consequences of climate change itself, to all denizens of our world, human and non-human alike, is so weird its motivations are deeply suspect.
Happiness is not just the lack of pressure (e.g. financial), though that's kind of a baseline.

I'd recommend looking for purpose by just trying things. Just do things you enjoy and are good at. That might look like "work" or it might not. Also observe which communities you enjoy being in, and get involved - again, this can look like "work" or not.

> But it's crazy, right? Using a license designed by a direct business competitor?

Microsoft also publishes software under open-source licenses [0]. The license is short and well-understood, it's not like a large piece of software that might contain backdoors. Also, people trust(-ed) that license.

> If you can do a major rules rewrite [...], surely you have the know-how to design your own license?

Yes, but you'd just end up with a similarly worded license that people don't know. Why spend that money?

Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but I can easily see why they decided against that. Also, Paizo is probably sufficiently funded by now that suing them is a bit dangerous for WotC, as they risk a bad precedent.

A lot is just experience, and others have given great advice on getting started. I want to add a few rules, in no particular order, that I find valuable. Some of the rules are slightly overkill for basic drive-in camping, but they're worth following anyway.

- If you go hiking, take a small backpack. It should have an extra layer of clothing, some snacks, and water, at minimum.

- Never eat anything unless you are 100% certain you know what it is and it is non-toxic. Only drink from a lake or stream in an emergency, and then purify or boil the water if possible.

- Always bring a hat. Like the girl in the article, I've found myself in unexpected relentless sun.

- Wear sensible shoes. The definition of 'sensible' depends on what you're doing, but when in doubt go slightly overkill.

- Never go into nature alone. Ideally, go with a group of at least 3 people. Then if 1 person is seriously hurt, 1 person can stay with them and the last person can go for help.

- Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. When you get back, tell them you're safe. For a simple weekend campout, that means telling a friend or family member. For a strenuous full-day hike, that means stopping at a ranger station before and after the hike.

- Never go off trail (both because it's easy to get lost, and because it's bad to trample mother nature).

- Always have maps - ideally paper ones. Even for a simple trail, pull out a cell phone and take a picture of the map at the trailhead.

- Bring more supplies (including food and water) than you think you need. With each trip you'll learn more about what you wish you had and what you brought but didn't use.

- Bring backups of critical things. Two flashlights, two ways to start fires, and two knives of some description (they don't have to be fancy).

- Have a realistic view of your limits (and your gear's limits). Seeing a nifty rock face doesn't mean you know how to climb it. Even if you know how, you probably don't have climbing equipment with you.

- Animals are not your friends. Research in advance what animals to expect wherever you're going, and what precautions to take. Camping in bear country is different than camping in raccoon country, for example.

- Research where you're going and pack accordingly. Is there running water? If not, plan how you will get and purify water. Are fires allowed? If not, plan how you will cook your food.

If this whole list is intimidating, just start simply and enjoy figuring things out - it can be a lot of fun as long as you come prepared (and try to over plan and over-pack at first while you learn).
Not just materials, but materials too, yes. But time and effort is probably more costly.

Yeah, this fixes 1% of the problem (wiring up your house) while the other 99% (getting the service till your house) remains unaddressed. Still a good step, but not cause for too much celebration.

Why sassy? I like that you didn't try that angle.

I know what "romantic" means. I don't think McCandless was a romantic; I think he was reckless. His romanticism was entirely artificial -- Krakauer's opinion that he "threw away the map" on purpose since there are no really unexplored lands anymore hints at this -- and he didn't need to live this rough life, he strived to put himself in harm's way. Someone who crosses the highway with their eyes closes is not a romantic, they are simply stupid.

And like I said in another comment, I think he completely misread Jack London and failed to learn the lesson from that writer: that wilderness is ruthless and will kill you the minute you let your guard down, or simply out of bad luck.
> The linked TED talk literally opens with this anecdote

I know, don't care, not good enough.

> the subject article of this comment section is research affirming the benefit of Savory's techniques

It's true that he tries to manage overgrazing and removal of old growth of grasses, but you can't imho compare natural grazing of bison herds in their natural habitat with a farmer subdividing his fenced plot into several sections and moving his herd from sector A to sector N in a controlled manner.

If you're doing animal agriculture, you're not really helping the nature, doesn't matter how, you're still unnecessary exploiting it. Here, I've said it.
The article mentions that compression is already being used.
Very true. I imagine that grouping instructions that use the same registers into their own functions would help with that (arithmetic expressions tend to generate sequences like this). Then you loop within this function while the next instruction is in the same group, and only return to the outer global instruction loop otherwise. If you design the bytecode carefully, you can probably do group checks with a simple bitmask.
Wizards also pulled the ability for people to download pdfs they already paid for with zero notice before, when they revoked a resellers license. Pretty dick move, and they think they can try and pull that shit again.
Thank you, to you and the others. That makes this make a lot more sense.
Interesting theory about conservative power being diluted by being spread out geographically.

I think in history cultures tend to get more and more liberal until the society collapses. Then when something else arises in its place it is brutal and uncivilized and, I suppose, what we would call conservative. And the process starts over again.

I'll have to check out Pleasantville. Thanks for the exchange.

This video is very misleading.

- It shows the single-slit case as a vertical band. Actually, the single slit case is also a smear[1][2]. A smear just a wide as the double slit pattern (but less rippled). Photons don't switch between moving like bullets and moving like waves, they consistently move like waves and consistently hit like bullets.

- It shows the photon detector as an eye off to the side of the experiment. You gotta stick it in the beam path for it to interact with the photon. You can't see photon flying by in front of you, you can only see photons bounced into your eye. Note that I'm not saying the detector has to absorb the photon, but it does have to interact with the photon and it can't interact with the photon if it's way off to the side like that.

Ultimately, it's playing into the common misunderstanding that a human glancing towards a quantum experiment has some profound effect upon it.

For the method described in the paper to work, the infinite version of the game requires a semihard drop operation or something analogous as a legal move. In modern versions of Tetris, the rotation systems permit very unusual operations such as wall climbing or infinite lock delays, not to mention rotating in physically impossible ways. A semihard drop is not a big ask on an infinite playfield. It's within the spirit of the game.

Can I recommend some of the ninja machines? I have the dual brew one which supports kcups but the machine itself doesn’t give a hoot if you use branded kcups or reusable cups. And it can brew regular coffee as well.

The one thing I like about kcups is how stupid simple the whole thing is while I’m in the middle of something like work. So this machine lets me be a caffeinated monkey during work things and I can also brew regular coffee when I’m okay with a slight distraction.

It’s been working a whole lot better than the cheap-o keurig I initially bought which comes with a tiny water reservoir enough for one cup of coffee only. Most stupid thing I’ve ever seen. Why am I going for convenience but I also have to refill the water reservoir every time I want coffee?!
