I'm not considering such concerns at all; my comment holds even considering perfect orbits followed by frictionless point objects of zero mass. You can of course pack into the height-dimension trivially when using circular orbits; the issue then is how many orbits you can pack into an orbital plane. I contend it scales with radius, not radius squared.

Thank you for the explanation. From that I would infer you wish there be less people from every country that has done the same as Russia. Would that be correct? Do you wish, for example, that there be less Americans, French, Germans, Italians, and Japanese? Also, have you thought of ways how our society could implement your recommendation and reduce the number of people from these countries? Would you suggest a quota of mass extermination for each country, perhaps to be agreed by an international panel? How about the logistics of that? Perhaps something like the Nazi camps with incinerators? I’m genuinely curious about your desires because, as a fellow citizen, your wishes and desires affect us all.

Immagration is a factor of relative wealth and physical access. People who immigrate to Europe do so because 1) Europe offers a significantly better quality of life than their home country and 2) they can physically get there. Birthrate is also a wealth thing, maybe you can argue that the changes in wealth changed social norms, but that's indirect.

The STD link you posted is a statement from the US CDC that reduction in healthcare availability because of COVID-19 caused STIs to go untreated and spread more. How does that relate to marriage norms at all?
I am still predicting that BlueSky is the real Twitter alternative. [0]

All it needs to do is to get rid of the invite system (early) and open up its web app [1] and you will just watch it grow faster than the rest of the alternatives, and over time Twitter users will naturally move to BlueSky.

What they got right is that they have both iOS and Android apps early and there is no 'choose an instance' mess, with proper search functionality and there's a official default server to avoid first impression confusion.

We'll see what the normal users (non-techies) will choose in a few months time once the invite system is gone and the web app is ready and how strong Twitter's network effect is against BlueSky.

It isn't like these banks are really that badly run. They've just inherently got interest rate exposure. It isn't like the 80s S&L crisis or the 2009 financial crisis where the paper was backing bad investments or mortgages which had defaulted. The problem is just interest rate risk and that the current value of the paper has gone down. That only creates a problem if the bank is forced to sell those assets, and if there wasn't a classical bank run then the bank wouldn't be forced to sell those assets. This is exactly the kind of borrow-short-lend-long risk that all banks inherently run and is why we supposedly have the FDIC to stop these kinds of bank runs. SVG had worse issues where their deposits were inherently draining due to the startups using them for their corporate accounts, and then they went out and sold some of their paper, booking their losses, instead of looking for financing.

For those looking for the punish-the-rich morality play, the real winner here is likely to be JP Morgan or PNC which may bid to buy up the assets, which is just the rich-getting-richer and a large bank swallowing up a smaller community bank and more consolidation and monopolization of the financial sector.
When have we taxed the rich?
Inflation is excess demand for goods and services. We raise interest rates in an inflationary environment because we want people to accumulate wealth in the form of financial assets instead of spending on real things.

Raising taxes on high-income people could help if it goes far enough that we actually reduce our consumption. High income people have low marginal propensity to consume - that’s why it’s better to give regular people money when you want stimulus. Tax hikes targeted at the very high income would have to be very steep, or they’d just be absorbed by lower savings rates.

As long as we’re entertaining weird taxes, progressive consumption tax is probably what you want here. Special sales taxes on big ticket luxury items (cars, boats, watches, etc) could also do the same thing a little less elegantly but in a more familiar way.
But don’t social norms change over time? It was once normal to burn witches and keep slaves.

Does that mean witch-burning was a good decision because it carried the weight of social consensus?

It matters to the degree you care about the data on that server. Watching ZFS checksum correction or ECC logs is always very enlightening. I have a TrueNAS box with critical stuff (offsite backup of it too, of course) and there are not a lot of errors but enough that I’m glad I went with ECC.

We got solar powered string lights for our balcony. The solar panel only came with a spike to stick in the dirt. Since we are several stories up that didn't really work and we didn't want to just tape it to the railing. The part that connected to the spike was a little circular bit with a couple holes for screws so I designed a little mount for it in CAD and 3D printed it and so far it works great. It fits the railing and the solar panel perfectly.

In the case of many prog rock and similar albums of the late 60s 70s and 80s there are either significant (wrt to the pace of the audio tracks) 'silences' between tracks or no silences with fade out and fade in audio layers ...

The digital versions of a number of these albums have 'clipped' tracks - with a sharp start point | end point and some arbitrary generic silence length (of 0 - N ms) between them.

Seems like a minor thing but it is noticable to those of us that once listened to vinyl albums and the "between track" transition is arguably as much of the overall product as originally delivered as each individual track and track ordering.

I buy a lot of new rap vinyl because having a physical copy is the only way to guarantee the music doesn’t change (unless you can find and download the files online which can be hard)

Many artists don’t clear samples and are forced to make updates or remove them entirely.

While streaming has given us quick access to almost any music, it has also created a new impermanence in the industry that’s very frustrating.

On top of that, it’s not uncommon for rap albums on vinyl to come with the instrumentals that are never made available on streaming at all. I’ve been ripping them to have the MP3s on the go

> a civilisation that decides that serving internet is more important than its ability to observe the universe

It's slightly worse than that. Starlink is only viable because of huge gaps in planned provision of what is now a basic utility (even government services in many parts of the world are hard to access without the internet).

We're actually giving up our inalienable and multimillenial rights to a real night sky in order to leave gaps in utility provision for greedy wanker billionaires to make money and gain power filling.
Currently set to resume in June or July, I believe.

But I find this line of thinking dubious. It costs more than $1700/month for 10 years just to pay for med school? ($160k total cost at 5% interest — and both of those values are at the low end.) That’s an incredibly stupid situation for our economy to be in. That is a massive barrier to entry for a some very important careers.

And on top of that, we’re saying that these massive payments are crucial to getting inflation in check?

Maybe you’re right that this “helps” superficially reduce inflation. But the root problem is much deeper, which is that our economic system cannot handle people making a decent money.

The root cause is likely a lot closer to big companies jacking prices of basic goods and services, blaming inflation, and making record profits in the meantime.
I have a bunch of vinyl left over from my DJing days that I likely won't get rid of, but I have already digitized it all so I likely won't keep the decks forever.

I have also considered collecting skateboards because I think the art is awesome, but canonically I was a rollerblader when I was younger. I think that's probably the same thing for vinyl collections.

> Resume student loan payments and inflation goes down in a couple of months.

But... inflation already has gone down. Oh, yeah, everyone cites the headline 12-month trailing inflation, but if you look at the monthly data, the high inflation period was sometime in 2021 (where depends on if you look at CPI, as is most often cited, or PCE, which the Fed uses) through the first half of 2022.
"Normal" bank accounts do not have more than 250k. The only thing that should change is that the limit should apply to one's total assets in all FDIC banks, not per bank.

atproto handle resolution tries DNS TXT first, then will try an HTTP endpoint. the endpoint is not a ".well-known", it is an "/xrpc/"-prefixed endpoint with a query parameter, which is workable on some static hosts (like github pages), but not others.

Need both.

At an individual level, reduce demand for things that create tons of pollution, habitat destruction and increase our carbon footprint, like consuming products from large scale animal agriculture. Use more public transport when possible, fly less, etc

Systemic level, pressure our politicians to create policies that will incentivise the top most polluting companies to reduce their carbon footprint and pollution [0]

Easier said than done, since big money quasi controls policy making.

So I think the future is going to be interesting, I wonder what it means to live in a world that is 2C hotter.

"Do you think B should face any personal consequences within a public justice system?

Yes he should. Reason, because he now knows the consequences of proceeding if the problem not fixed first (he was told them by engineer A.).

Once aware, everyone has the responsibility to act. The Occupational Health & Safety laws of many jurisdictions are written exactly on this principle. Such laws don't just apply to managers and decision-makers, a floor sweeper who overheard the conversion would also be culpable if it were proven that he did not inform authority of the fact and or if he had good reason to suspect Management would do nothing.

Same for Engineer A, he would still be culpable if after telling Product Manager B the facts and he knew or had good reason to suspect Product Manager B or others responsible did not or would not act to fix the problem. Moreover, unlike the floor sweeper, Engineer A, due to his extensive knowledge of the facts and his senior decision-making position (as an engineer—even if not in charge of marketing or production), the Law would still require him to follow though with either senior management and or external authority until he was satisfied (to the level of his professional ability) that the problem was sufficiently in the hands of responsible others.

Whilst these laws vary between different jurisdictions the common themes are if one—and that's anyone, inside or outside the company—knows there's danger and or potential for someone to be harmed or killed then that person has to act, irrespective—full stop. Second, the more responsible or more knowledgeable someone is as to the consequences of something or some process going wrong then the more incumbent it is for that person to act (the floor sweeper in Boeing's factory would not be expected to know the wrong alloy had been used in engine turbine blades but the engineer would).

These laws were introduced to avoid problems like the Challenger and the Boeing 737Max disasters, and the Purdue Pharmaceuticals opioid crisis. Unfortunately, the US lags behind in either implementing them or making existing laws sufficiently strong.

I kind of doubt employers have that much faith in the value of university degrees. Mostly, they're asking for a degree because they can. They get enough applicants with university degrees that they feel they can impose the extra requirement.

Actually testing applicant skills can be extremely expensive. Employers will always prefer filtering methods that are cheap.

Haha yep, I’m in that category at the moment.

I’ve been buying a lot of albums on Bandcamp, and in most cases I get the vinyl or cassette, which comes with the digital download for free.

I plan to get a record player, and full hifi. I do have a cassette setup, tho I use primarily for recording. The few tapes I bought were to a/b test against the digital on my cassette recording setup. And the fact that it’s often only a few $$ difference in price.

I got sick of “owning nothing” via the Spotify model. I like that Bandcamp gives me the option to get the files so I can do as a please with them.
Your argument reminds me of the paper of Collier et al. in which they argue pretty much the same thing:

https://weis2020.econinfosec.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/...

Given the ever-increasing global demand of infosec professionals, the basis of the argument has likely only grown stronger. Though, the crime syndicates often overlap with state actors in many countries, so I am not that sure how the argument generalizes internationally.

Both Enso and Sit are really nicely done. I think it would be interesting to add a wordcount "goal" with Enso - set it before you begin and have it notify you when you reach the wordcount for that day. Maybe even re-use the chime from Sit, heck maybe even say ok you reached your writing goal (either time or word count) time to "sit" for a few minutes and then back to it.

> Building trusts with behemoths like GMail or outlook.com is too involved

There's nothing like that actually. I have e-mail server running since 2000s. When gmail appeared, everything continued to work as expected and it did for many years. Around 2018 or 2019 I noticed that my e-mails started going to spam folder. I didn't send any bulk e-mails, I was not on any RBLs, I was not compromised (I actually was very careful to block outbound SMTP from any user except the one running MTA), and of course had SPF & DKIM set up.

It looks like their spam filtering is just arbitrary and feels like done on purpose to discourage running personal mail servers (and looking at comments it works really well).

Honestly, I think some kind of campaign is needed to put them in place, like starting blocking e-mails from gmail (maybe responding with a message encouraging to switch account). I remember in the past steps like that were done, but feels like today people are more acceptable of centralization.
Nice! So the file approach does work. Do you have a link to the documentation of the file approach?

Why does the DNS approach exist at all? Couldn't users who own a hostname but have not connected it to a webserver have achieved the same by adding a CNAME to a service like Bluesky?
