In regards to using a VPN for privacy: The important thing about a shared VPN service is that it makes it difficult to distinguish traffic, and by sharing multiple IPs across different countries it becomes even harder to track an individual's activities. This is somewhat of a copy of Tor, but with less security-risk, at the expense of some privacy. Whereas if you run your own VPN, for example, all activity from that IP address gradually becomes more associated with you.
Yeah, I learned my lesson from that, but still, how do you come up with this workflow? How can I resolve anything with the buyer directly? If we agree on not doing the transaction, how would I get rid of that thing in my seller dashboard? Like, just allow cancelling it indefinitely. What's the point here!?

Also, agree on the weirdness of the buyer. What did he gain by keeping to pretend he wants the item if really he didn't? I mean I didn't care about the slowness, was just decluttering a bit, so I wasn't in a hurry or anything.

The simple answer is we are debasing our currency in a very complex way, that we cannot measure how much we debased it. In the past kings printed new coins to fund their wars or whatever and it was easier to track how much the currency lost value. In the present because economies have gotten complex + tools to debase have gotten complex we cannot estimate how much we have actually debased our currency by. If it’s 100% then there’s going to be a lot of inflationary pain, if it’s 10% we can probably handle it but I wouldn’t hold my breadth on getting any good estimate
Oh, I didn’t mean immigration, I meant there are US companies that have offices in Germany that pay more and likely scoop up the local talent.

There's a partially restored Big Boy at the Forney Transportation museum in Denver, CO, that's worth the price of admission. I'm not a train nerd, but I did take Thermodynamics in college. The Big Boy is fantastically interesting with even a little knowledge of thermo, or kinematics.

I can recommend a book "How Steam Locomotives Really Work" to see how steam locomotives really did work. Don't know if the book contains the truth, but if it's BS the authors went to a lot of work to make something so convincing.
If this were actually true it would never be possible to build more to make housing more affordable. Rents in a market are typically a percentage of the capital investment so what you are saying is roughly equivalent to “building more makes rents go up”. It’s actually the opposite. The demand for density raises the value of land, but the supply of density lowers it.

It’s difficult to eliminate bias without also eliminating the lessons learned by history.
The company store was a way to earn on both ends of employees; the company made money by paying the workers to do stuff for the company, and then earned a part of that money back by selling goods to the workers at exorbitant rates.

The parallel here is that Amazon makes money off of the workers doing work, and then can also extract value by using the workers to prop up their real estate holdings.

E.g. workers may benefit from lower property values (renters), but Amazon is forcing workers to prop up those property values. Amazon makes money off paying them, and makes (or saves) money when they force them to come spend money around their offices.

It's not exactly the same, but I think there's certainly similarities.
Ignoring the argument around whether showing up before the population density is high confers some special “native-ness” and ownership (which I think would need to be fleshed out significantly to be really compelling), the math doesn’t really make sense.

Typically people’s lifetimes overlap their kids’ significantly. I mean most people meet their grandparents, so if you have a fertility rate of 1, and an area becomes attractive to early-career people who are just settling down and starting families, and the existing housing become taken up by that group, then I guess the area will have to house the original population, plus their kids, plus their grandkids, so we’ll need housing for 175% of the original population, total.

Of course the area is, by not accepting new immigrants to get back to replacement rate, setting itself up for long-term unpleasantness as the tax base ages into retirement. But hey I guess that’s their right…
I've had my eBay account suspended two or three times. All of them was because of suspicious activity in that I was using a VPN. I had to connect with someone on their customer support team to get it unlocked. I guess that's understandable if someone else using the same IP address is doing something malicious, but I think this could all be avoided if they set up sane 2FA measures.

Just yesterday I logged in and it prompted me to choose how to receive a code - email or SMS. I chose email, received the code then entered. Then, they told me I had to authenticate again via SMS.

I really wish they would implement standard software based TOTP so I could use something like Aegis or passOTP.

Cool. Pinging you
Sorry, I have to disagree. €500-600 for just the ability to use the IDE but not being able to create an executable doesn't sound very appealing to me. And that all limited to "non-commercial" use. And per platform. So you can't just switch between different OSes.
Any hints on level 29?
These are very specialised industries though, requiring some deeper and more formal knowledge than when a new platform appears and there's a sudden hunger for experiences on that platform.

The web and later smartphones have been the real startup breeders of the past 30 years. Biotech and AI require quite a bit of academic knowledge to innovate on and aren't on the same potential of big platforms like web/phones.

The costs of building on smart contracts are really not that high. Dirt cheap on some chains. Anyway, I do love the crypto ecosystem, because I find it fun, but I don't really support the narrative that everyone should be onboarded onto it in some way or form. I'm much happier if it stays a toy for the nerds that like to play with it. There's also an element of counterculture to it as well. I also think there are some positive ripple-effects... I think there are people who have become more financially literate as a result of their interest in crypto and it's cool that adjacent technologies like IPFS have gotten more attention as a result.

According to Wikipedia, "milk" is an ambiguous word referring to over a dozen different "drinkable fluids". Also a drag queen and a Dragon Ball character.

My issues with stimulants is how much they interfered with my sleep; Focalin did have a goldilocks level, but HMO wouldn't cover a high enough dose for me, unless it was ER, which just didn't reliably maintain a theraputic level in my system.

Things that help:

1. No/few simple carbs before lunch (I used to skip breakfast until I realized it wasn't all breakfasts that were the problem). Focusing is hard enough without being drowsy from hypoglycemia

2. Exercise. You'll probably be able to force yourself to run regularly for a week or two and then give up, so find something more interesting. I personally do martial arts that have some form of sparring because competition gets me engaged. Less competitive people might want to find something else; there are several forms of dance that are highly technical, so can be mentally engaging for years.

3. Structure & Boundaries. As swatcoder says in another comment, you just aren't likely to be as "together" as someone who isn't ADHD, so maybe you decide "I'll clean for 15 minutes a day" or "I'll make my bed before eating breakfast" or whatever, but pick small, attainable, measurable goals for the things that are likely to fall through the cracks, and set aside specific times to do them. This will both keep you from looking like a complete slob and also help you feel like an "adult" (which is important for emotional well-being).
> The UK doesn't seem to be bursting at the seams with prosperity these days. Switzerland does much better yet never had any colonies.

I dunno - Northern Ireland seems to be doing alright, current woes affecting the rest of the Kingdom (Britain) appear to be self-inflicted.

More seriously: I never claimed imperialism led to eternal prosperity. Pax Britania led to a very prosperous Britain - it is undeniable that imperialism is beneficial while it's happening: captive markets abroad support broader industrialization than just a single home market[1], and externalization of costs makes it cheaper/more "efficient".

The only reason history will be kind is that nobody will be left that actually lived through his presidency. He was a terrible president and the 1980 election results are proof. There are so many things he failed at, as a manager. I would be interested in knowing the age of all the comments here lauding him as a great example of a president. Likely the vast majority of those were not born.
He certainly was a nice guy from a personal perspective.

In late 2019, I was at the Viking Museum in Stockholm and they had a map marking where they knew Vikings had visited (and likely raided) and where they had probably visited (and likely raided). Not surprisingly, it was most of the North Atlantic and down through Gibraltar.

What surprised me is that Egypt and Israel were on the "probably" list.. which seemed plausible if they just kept going down the coast of North Africa.

I think it is pretty clear from an ethical perspective that whatever rights people have to housing are stronger than whatever rights people have to block housing in their neighborhood. It takes a weird sort of mental gymnastics to simultaneously argue that no one has a right to housing but also that people have a right to using zoning laws to block housing.

>The permission model of Android is worthless, if you actually want to use it as your desktop replacement. I.e. if you want to own it rather then rent it (and be told by the manufacturer / reseller what you may or may not do).

You make no sense. The permission model is what makes these operating systems so secure. It's not worthless as it significantly hurts the capabilities of malware. If your definition of owning a device is that you should be able to install an app that can steal all of your login information to every other app you have then you are alone with that definition. People don't want to have to care about security when installing random apps.
DigitalOcean Launches Premium CPU-Optimized Droplets
"Los Altos Hills, California is one of the wealthiest communities in the world, home to Silicon Valley’s upper echelons of technology billionaires and millionaires such as the founder of Google and its current CEO. The non-diverse town boasts a median household income north of $400,000. Its zoning prohibits multifamily housing, whether apartments, townhomes or condos, along with commercial stores and shops in the entirety of its city limits."

This kind of hypocrisy where CEOs look down from the stratosphere on the common rabble yet have their corporations espouse a kind of elitist morality about diversity, equity, and inclusion is dumbfounding and disgusting.

"The hotel had bad water pressure so the Bay is full".

I very much doubt SF is limited in expanded by water pipe capacity. Total water use, sure, but people use less water in a city then the suburbs anyways so it will be a net savings of water.
To be clear, I'm for higher density housing and new builds in the Bay and outlying areas, which would make it easier for families to stay closer together.

If they were just labeling it "Milk" or mixing it into cow milk without letting anyone know, then I would be skeptical. But it's always labeled as just "Almond Milk." I don't think anyone will be confused there. We've always just called it that.

I can't think of any other logic necessary really. I mean, why do we call anything what we do? Other than, that's what everyone calls it. For instance, why can Milk producers call it just "Milk" and not "Cow Milk" as well? Because that's what everyone calls it!
Hang in there. January was really disheartening for me. Like literally dead, no replies, in a market where I'm used to just waiting for the recruiters to hit me up and pick between them. In the second half of February things are picking up a little, some leads from recruiters, some replies to my resume. I expect March to be when things really pick up as budgets for the year are approved.

It probably won't be the easy pickings, sellers market it was at least until the market has had time to absorb all these laid off engineers, but I have hope it'll be much better.

> plus health insurance through Cobra.

Nb. using COBRA is often pretty damn expensive, since you're paying the full cost of whatever plan the company uses. It can make sense for some people since it means your deductible and max-out-of-pocket don't reset like they would if you switched to a marketplace plan (and then reset again when you get a new job and another plan) but it's not quite as nice a thing to have as it was before the HCA (when staying on COBRA could be a major money-saving move on premiums alone, for people with illnesses who'd probably be stuck on some incredibly-expensive state-backed insurer of last resort, without access to a company's group plan, if they could get coverage at all).
And 'internal' signals that appear to be external - eg, ebay has a massive dataset of experience with your local delivery companies, and knows if they will be handling a lot of 'went missing in delivery' complaints from you.

That said, there are ways to build games that do not require elaborate art tool chains. AAA visuals are the antithesis of my target. I am perfectly happy trying to do art in code until the wheels pop off the bus and I have to retool for an external art team.
