Minimal postal address is:

Building Number/Name
Postcode

Postcode is the name of the road or street if its not too long, but some long roads or high density area's may have two or more postcodes for a road or street as do buildings for special entities.

This is assuming everyone would happily do their duty and also that the math would actually work out. I think the math is the bigger problem even though human nature is always a wrench in the gears of any such scheme, it's the math that dooms systems like this to implode after a while. The scheduling alone doesn't make any sense, to replace one full-time career of 45 years you'd need to break that up into say 9 five year stints. Then also considering that crappy jobs far outnumber 'good' jobs you'd be looking at rotating through a series of them, changing every 5 years until retirement because if you didn't and everyone 'retired' from having to work a crappy job after one 5 year term then you'd have a massive shortage of workers in no time. So everyone has to work a career that consists almost entirely of shitty jobs but they're forced to change jobs all the time so they can never really get good at any of them and then they retire when they're too old and worn out maybe with a single 5 year stint as a not very good accountant or something?

This is a terrible comment at every level. First, it attacks a strawman argument. No one is clamouring for free "everything". Most rational people would agree that thousands of dollars/pounds/euros PER article is an insane markup when literally none of the value add is provided by journals. The role of a journal is essentially administrative, webhosting and some database management. Almost none of their work is technical or specialised.

Second, what would a fair processing charge be? Certainly not thousands of dollars. Here is just one journal that manages to provide the same level of service for the princely sum of EUR 75 if you submit an MS Word manuscript: https://www.wind-energy-science.net/about/article_processing...

Third, in no way are a blog and a scientific journal equivalent.

Guess what, on page 10 the text says:

> With respect to charging by means other than wired charging, divergent solutions could be developed in the future, which could have negative impacts on interoperability, on consumer convenience and on the environment. <<Whilst it is premature to impose specific requirements on such solutions at this stage, the Commission should take action towards promoting and harmonising such solutions to avoid future fragmentation of the internal market.>>

Unlike the US Constitution, EU laws are not set in stone and they <<are>> updated.

> I also can't help shaking the feeling that the EU is so happy regulating cell phones and internet services because they have no major players in that field left anymore. Conversely, they seem to be incapable of mandating a unified standard for grounded AC power outlets, although that would surely be equally beneficial.

Hotels and many other places have started offering USB A and USB C ports. I think we're close to the point (5-10 years away?) where you could go to the US from Europe with just a laptop, for 2 weeks, and you'd be able to charge it just by using USB C ports available in restaurants, hotels, bars, offices, etc.

On top of that, for wall outlets the EU is mostly standardized except for Denmark, I think.

> 1. The browser is handling all of the platform differences for you.

...these "low level browser APIs" would still be regular Javascript web APIs which hide the differences between operating systems (that's the whole point of the browser after all!). E.g. WebGPU can still be considered a low-level API (when compared to other web APIs, but of course slightly higher level when compared to native APIs it sits on: D3D, Vk and Metal). Such wrapper APIs are not exactly rocket science, they can be both efficient and safe, yet still abstract over platform differences.

> 2. ...most websites are just forms

...this is a fundamental difference in opinion I guess. I see the web mainly as an open app distribution platform, not as a library for documents.

> 3. ...about trust...

See point 1 about WebGPU.

Safety aspects aside, you can look at game engines on how to build cross-platform APIs without giving up performance. In the end, most operating systems offer the same services in slightly different flavours, and it's possible to wrap those OS services in cross-platform APIs without too many compromises (after all, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android are all sitting on top of the same hardware anyway)
Almost all of them are 'homegrown' startups whose first market is in Africa.

A good example is Egyptian fintech MNT-Halan, and here's a good read on the company's origins: https://afridigest.com/untold-story-africas-newest-unicorn-m...

But the question of what is an African startup is a good one as many of them are legally domiciled outside of Africa (to facilitate fundraising), but it's not like they have existing operations in the US or UK and are expanding to new markets in Africa.

I think we're all tempted to blame the previous generation for our hardships. We all have an innate need for less (or zero) responsibility. So I'm not impressed by the overall tone of the article.

That being said, the criticism that the current business and shareholder class (many of whom are indeed boomers) is always squeezing what is there instead of creating new stuff (houses, businesses etc.) is sadly spot on. And I'm not seeing a way out. Wealthy people get used to their income and assets and will never let them go, and that could easily lead to societal collapse once certain boundaries are crossed.

Broadly and more philosophically speaking, it is my opinion that we're living in the aftermath of a golden age where everyone strongly pretends we're still in one, while nearly everyone knows that this is not true.

Correct. I 'publish events', I do not 'send messages'.

Let's say that I do want to roll my own resending (instead of publishing once). Do I record that a GUID is processed before or after I respond to it?

In Finland, you can send a letter to Santa Claus with only this address:

Postal code 99999 was reserved for this purpose.
The title is slightly misleading -- strictly speaking, they aren't just giving the moon its own time "zone", they're giving it a reference time.
You're not wrong, and I suspect it has something to do with hardware. My Behringer U-Phoria worked fine on Linux, then my Scarlett shit itself, then I replaced it with a MOTU M2 which does just fine. If you interface isn't USB-class-compliant, don't expect it to work on Linux.

> By definition neither Jack nor Pipewire can be faster than the ALSA they are talking to.

Sure, but that's like saying that you don't need an operating system when you can compile to baremetal. Both Jack and Pipewire are slower, but offer pretty substantial routing options on top of that. Furthermore, I believe both protocols support ALSA connections too.

I use Bitwig on NixOS and it's not too bad with PipeWire. Latency and routability generally rivals CoreAudio, which is good enough for me.

Back in the 80s/90s I recall my parents getting carried away with a fad of marking valuable personal objects with house number and postcode (in the same fashion as in this post) so they could be identified if stolen.

I remember from one of my first jobs, we received a vacation postcard addressed to:

- Dear friends
- Lange voorhuid
- Holland

.... Lange voorhuid was a mis-spelling of the streetname: "Lange Voorhout", which is someone unique to The Hague... but didn't have a housenumber (and it's a long street). Still, the postcard arrived at our company before the sender got back from vacation.
You can also register aliases somehow.

If you need to send something (cheques etc) to Monzo bank I'm pretty sure you can just write "Monzo" on the envelope. No stamp needed.

Pretty sure = it worked like 6 years ago when I last encountered a cheque.
I really support FreeBSD whenever I can, but not here. Linux, ubuntu specifically, out of the box can have an audio workstation ready to go within 10 minutes of installation. Not to mention you get a much larger array of software and VST plugins. When you consider hardware support, its almost a nobrainer. However FreeBSD is probably a bit more stable with jack in realtime mode.

10 years ago, I used to run Linux as my effects processor for my guitar and keyboard synth when I was in a band. That same laptop also ran projectm to display realtime visuals on our backdrop.

Around me (Boston USA area) there are ebike grocery deliveries (Getir) wizzing down every street. It's a great idea, although clearly the incentives are set up so that the delivery guys need to complete as many orders as possible, the predictable result of which is that these kids are driving dangerously the wrong was down one-way streets and cutting lights.
It could go a third way, where they use them internally, too, and they're cheaper to operate.

So a certain percentage of the costs could be amortized through internal usage.

Edit:

> We know enough about Apple Silicon to know that high-performance ARM chips aren’t cheap to manufacture.

Oh, and for this :-)

We do know that Apple's per unit costs must be cheap, since the iPhone SE 2022 retails at $429 for an entire phone, and it comes with A15, which is quite competitive with Android flagship chipsets from 2023. Since they can squeeze in an entire phone + profits in $429, the chipset itself can't be that expensive.

Yes, R&D is probably very expensive but they can spread that around to millions of units, just like Amazon :-)

Of course, Apple could also be dumping chipsets, in which case, I don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would not be confident in postal systems routing letters based on ISO country codes. If you send your letter in Tennessee with AR at the bottom of it, it's going to Arkansas or nowhere, not Argentina.
> Anyway, I am starting to believe these "recession is on the way" articles as the top 1% trying to cause one so they can prevent the slow movement from slave wages to almost livable wages.

It's safe to discard this theory because it's not possible to have that kind of control through "the media" or otherwise. What's accurate is that articles like this get clicks and that's why they come into existence. This article is just a vehicle for advertising, and for every one you can find you can find an article from the same source that states the opposite or some other tangential theory.

Only active cooling can cool anything below the ambient temperature. 100% reflectivity can prevent it absorbing more heat, if you can achieve it, but it doesn't cool anything down.

Seriously, take a moment to calculate how much stopping at a gas station takes out of a trip.

For example, when I have to get off of a freeway in order to get gas, I usually have to navigate an intersection and might have to sit through a traffic light.

In places I used to live, getting gas meant turning left instead of going right on red. Then leaving the gas station meant sitting through another stop light or two.

You might not have to put up with this if you live somewhere rural, where you're not dealing with divided highways and traffic lights.

Otherwise, getting gas is a chore.
