I bought my last 2 laptops from System76 with pre-installed Ubuntu and Pop_OS Linux. I have been very happy with the build quality and their support, so I will recommend them.

Only assuming you can process information from the real world correctly, which isn't a given. Not a judgment on you personally.

> We probably can't fix the organizational dynamics that lead to this accretion of power, but we can prevent it from being our basis of government by keeping the franchise broad.

Is there any evidence that keeping the franchise broad is the most effective strategy of running a country over multiple generations, where knowledge of organizational dynamics gets lost over time? That's a very strong claim, without much supporting it.

> Limiting franchise has always been a favorite tool of dictators, oligarchs, and supremacists - not of people who actually believe in democracy.

I don't particularly believe in democracy (one of the reasons being an extremely broad, misused catch-all term for whatever the speaker means themselves), but I do believe in strong institutions and separation of powers to the degree that it's possible.

But again, that's kind of orthogonal to whether this is an effective way to enact change by the broad franchise.
I’m in the EU this week and I had no idea that the cookie banners were so obnoxious, every site has a huge page blocking banner, and plenty of US news sites seem to block EU traffic entirely. I had to use a VPN to access some sites.
Dangerous comment.

From a linux perspective, I wouldn't blindly suggest the average reader to purge Python 2.7 from their system, as it might drag core parts of the WM with it. Consider aliasing, or better yet, relying on modern venv tools such as Conda instead.
That's because you disagree that the issue is about good advertising. The page isn't as clear-cut as you've pointed out. It's also worth mentioning that buying a new InkJet printer is also tacked on with 2 years of "ink" advertised as "Up to 2 years of ink in bottles included in the box." that is also actually based on pages. Searching for HP InkJet on your search engine of choice will show how it's an "ink and toner monthly subscriptions" in their snippets. It's a shady business practice that we shouldn't be encouraging at all.
It's not just about money.

How do you test a medication that only needs to be taken once or twice? This is very challenging to study scientifically.

Psychedelics bridge the gap between medication and therapy. A trip is not guaranteed to be therapeutic, but a trip with proper guidance it's more likely to be.

How can we know which aspects of that guidance are useful, and which are superfluous?

It's going to take a lot of work to get to the level of certainty that our medical system expects for medication.
HP's plan also drops prices when you subscribe to more pages.

$1/month -> 10 pages
$4/month -> 50 pages
$6/month -> 100 pages
$12/month -> 300 pages
$25/month -> 700 pages

In my mind, the value for the consumer is at the lower prices, where it's nice to have a printer for a few pages a month, but you know the ink is going to dry in the cartridge before you use it. I'd think HP's program will send you a new cartridge when you need it in that case, but I don't know. At higher volumes, it's probably less expensive to buy cartridges as needed, unless all your prints are full page coverage. But then ink jet has a weird niche; it's cheap, but it's worse for low volume printing because the ink can dry and foul the machine, and it's worse at high volume because the print speed isn't near laser (or highvolume impact!) and the supplies are expensive. It's great if you print a few pages a week to a few pages a day. Warm up time can be better or worse, depending on how long it takes to squirt all the ink into the sponge before it prints.
>so why did so many Ukrainians die in the last few months trying to retake it?

It's called fixing. War involves, many times, sending people to certain death in a hopeless situation to provide room for manouvre and force generation.

I wonder how this is done in inkjet printers. They basically also do "stippling". They even do it with multiple colors, as noted at the end. I somehow doubt they are using similar advanced algorithms though. Partly because those printers exist for quite a long time, and partly because they (probably?) can't control individual drops that precisely.

Decarbonization. It seems a lot of industries, companies and political bodies like countries or cities are ill prepared for the large changes.

Refactoring heavy industries and energy infrastructure is very expensive. There are going to be bankruptcies and new companies.
I was forced to manage someone out years ago. It was awful. My bosses didn't like this one guy, and honestly, he wasn't the best employee, but just they told me to stop giving work to him. Nothing. No work at all. He would come to me and ask what he was supposed to be working on. I had to just say that I'd get him something soon. I had to tell others not to give him any work or go to him for anything. He sat there at his desk for months, doing absolutely nothing. Finally, he asked about his upcoming review, and I had to tell him that he was getting PIP'ed because he hadn't accomplished anything. He finally got the message and resigned.

That whole situation made me feel like shit. It still does. I never wanted to be a part of management after that.

I agree, but it's not a problem unique to javascript. I'm not aware of any popular language/runtime/package manager that goes beyond what Deno can do, however insufficient that is. It's quite a hard problem.
> Big fan of THX 1138, I believe it would’ve been much better known and respected if it wasn’t overshadowed by Star Wars.

Really? I think THX 1138 actually benefits from the halo effect of Star Wars; if it wasn't made by someone as (eventually) famous as George Lucas it would have remained an obscure flop, which would be a shame.
I've read that the whole strategy was to use it to bleed Russia.

Underrated comments, right here. I use login with Google for nonessential things, and own my email domains.

The only things I'd add are that you should own both your email domain and the domain for your recovery email, AND that you should be backup files and photos to another service/location.
The food recycling is a good point. I didn't see anything scientific or technologically special about the suicide booths.
These were the people of Bakhmut in 2014 [1], after the events of Maidan in Kiev. Notice the Russian flag. It's unfortunate that the Ukrainian State hasn't allowed the people of the city to choose their own way so that it had to come to all this destruction, I agree with you on that.

As for the buildings, they will be re-built, look at today's Grozny.

If I recall correctly (and it has been a while, so I'm not saying I am), the issue was with concurrent transactions inserting a record into tableA and another into tableB which has a foreign key constraint to tableA. The issue was likely specific to `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` and not `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE`.

For example, let's saying you're building an index of open source packages and have two tables: package_type(id, name) and package(id, type_id, namespace, name).

If you receive two concurrent requests for `maven://log4j:log4j` and `maven://io.quarkus:quarkus`, a naive implementation to insert both "maven" and the packages if they don't exist might look something like this:

WITH type_id AS (
INSERT INTO package_type(name)
VALUES (:type)
RETURNING id
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
)
INSERT INTO package (type_id, namespace, name)
SELECT type_id, :namespace, :name
FROM type
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;

However, one or both inserts can fail intermittently because the primary key for `package_type` will be auto-incremented and thus the foreign key won't be valid. Also, as mentioned in another comment[0] this won't work if `maven` already exists in the `package_type` table.

The “right answer” afaik is to adopt the web permission model, which VSCode actually already supports. In addition to the Node extension host, there’s a WebWorker extension host which is much more secure (it’s the only host available on things like vscode.dev). Extensions need to opt into it unfortunately, but the code changes are not too bad in my experience.

Ukrainian military and third party analysts have been very clear on this for a long time. Bakhmut had little strategic value. But Russia was hellbent on taking it. So Ukraine was using it as a way to pin down Russian forces and kill them en masse as they used their stupid human wave tactics. It’s worked well.

Russia spent 9 months on this offensive. They got Bakhmut and lost immense combat power. Now Ukraine is readying a counter offensive.
Your inderstanding about the way Russia, and the USSR, wage war seems a bit incomplete and influenced a lot by common, and often repeated, internet memes. Most of which are contain just enough truth, among the complete falsehoods, to be incredibly dangerous.
It is not just a random coincidence. It's a phenomenon more broadly across programming, especially very low-level/hardware stuff.
It needs to simultaneously accessible to UK law enforcement and not reachable from another country. Come on Meta, can't you solve that really easy one?
By "waited" you surely meant "were busy fighting Nazis".

And let me quote the wiki article I linked to: "The Soviet entry into the war and the defeat of the Kwantung Army was a significant factor in the Japanese government's decision to surrender unconditionall".
I don't think that far in the future... We don't even know what will remain of Ukraine. This war does not make any sense.
I just was interested enough to look up what’s the nearest known black hole to Earth, and it’s Gaia BH1 which is 1560 light years away from us…can I still get my hope up that during my lifetime I can witness some significant breakthrough regarding our knowledge of black hole?
refute me then, with facts, I'll even accept Wikipedia links

here's an appetizer for you: the Brusilov Offensive in WW1 was only a strategic operation inside a single war and Russia lost more men in that alone than have ever died on behalf of the US in all wars
> Aren't there just drivers anymore?

I encourage you to try to drive a car the way you control a horse. It's a different set of skills; it'd be like saying that it's not problem AI will remove taxi drivers because then can just be a pilot. No, it will take retraining.

> Metal workers are still a thing.

Again, I'm not saying every job will disappear and neither is Rowe. There are still blacksmiths; there are just less of them.

> In his mind, AI will replace workers because it is seen as autonomous, which definitely is not.

I see you're intending to argue dishonestly and not actually look at his comments.

Happy that you agree with him. White Collar workers such as TV hosts may need to retrain into new jobs due to the advances in AI.
Kind of the same idea the USSR applied during the defence of Stalingrad.
The turning into a pile of rubble was gradual, there was something worth defending not that long ago. But mostly I suspect it is because they have to kill the Russians somewhere. If they have a strategic advantage defending the pile of rubble they will cause more damage to the invaders than they will take themselves. Who ultimately holds the rubble is less important than what the battle cost each side.
I can see two different cases here:

1. You are not OK with Shell dumping so much oil in the sea, so you stop buying Shell. But your action doesn't have any effect: you stop buying shell, oil still in the oceans. Boycott isn't the best path, unless it's really massive.

2. You are not OK with HP printer practices, but you don't necesarily want HP to go bankrupt or to pass a law banning HP practices. You just don't buy HP printers and you live happy afterwards. What other people does is not your problem. Boycott works.

You can say that HP selling ink subscription doesn't have any externalities, so every individual that buys one of such subscriptions is to blame and they don't shift costs to other people. You have options that keeps you safe from HP practices. Ask any Mac or Linux user how do they feel about Microsoft pushing trackers and ads on their OS: at best they don't care, but probably they laught at it.
Two summers ago I spent some time at the Grand Canyon in the middle of the night, and you could hear a pin drop a hundred miles away. It was so silent I felt like I was in a vacuum, like sound was being sucked out of me. We could hear any car in the area for miles and miles.

The insane part was when my friend looked up and noticed a vanishingly small red sliver in the sky, and the moment he said "Is that the moon?" just about every coyote in the state of Arizona lit up at once in a cacophony of lunar worship. You could hear each single coyote, each pack (similar vocalizations among group members) and even some random guy's dog joining in the fun. It was electrifying, my hair stood straight up.

Yep. They’ve been very transparent about it.

Not true. Water is "burdened" by pile of rights, where using more water reduces future cost for big entities.

Individual citizen consumption has nothing to do with prices, and their average usage is meaningless.

States and large water rights ventures fight over all these, and farmers are extremely incentivized to keep growing anything year round to consume at or above but never below their water allocation and right.
I'm usually pretty grumpy about these lists of "underrated" movies, because they're almost always movies that any moderately well versed fan of a genre has seen.

Happily, there are actually some films on this list I haven't seen.

In particular, I recently watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers after putting it off for years. Think it was on Amazon Prime. Takes place in SF. It's really good.

The style of title is a bit schlocky compared to current tastes, but it's a thoroughly competent modern style of film.

I've seen at least half or more of the movies on that list and can recommend them. Maybe not Rollerball or the one with Woody Allen, but the others are worth a watch.

Like it is more fair. Why should a poor person pay nearly a day's wages for a violation when other people don't have to have such a harsh punishment?

Does it seem ridiculous at the edges? Sure, but it also makes the fine an actual punishment for all rather than a rule that the better off can afford to ignore. This is true even in the case of driving laws. Sure, you might lose your license regardless of finances - but only one of them can fairly easily afford the reinstatement fees and the extra costs of not driving.
That's something I do well before I'd reach advanced dementia. Part of the point is to never reach that stage.

Let me be crystal clear: most people fucking hate working. Bosses are the worst, the money is the sole reason to do it, and we’d all be happier working way less.

The idea people are “addicted” to working under a capitalist society is absurd; we are forced like prisoners, not free to make the choice ourselves. Or maybe you consider being unhoused and underfed “freedom”.

The “nerve” you’ve hit is that I hate people excusing our disgusting lack of free time in a post scarcity society.

Both sides think you're biased. That's how the BBC does it.
I think this situation is sad for all involved, but I do feel a big part of the blame lies with the USA who have been expanding NATO closer and closer to Russia's borders, even though Russia warned against this many, many, many times in the past. Ukraine was too close for comfort (kinda similar to Russia trying to plant nukes in Cuba during Cuba crises, now USA is doing the same).

All of this could have been avoided if USA respected Russia's wishes regarding NATO expansion [0].

And also, Ukraine bombing Donbass region for many many years prior to the war, also didn't help for sure.

And I don't understand why the USA and UK still tried to push this war, with Boris Johnson personally visiting Zelensky when Ukraine was close to signing a peace deal with Russia [1]. Boris Johnson blocked the deal, but why? What did Boris Johnson believe was to gain here?

Well, governments also can declare wars, send chaps off to die in them, and lock people in boxes for not following rules written down by the governments. They can also collect money from people under same threat of box-locking.

Not every "enforcement of norms by the collective" (what's the collective?) can do that.

My partner went from being a full time researcher to became a manager about 6m ago, and I do have one advice that is extremely important;

You need the full and unyielding support from _your_ supervisor.

My partner had the most unfortunate luck, the company joined recently had a reorganization and the team consisted of... well, let's say "less motivated" characters that were not picked by other managers during reorg.

Without a good supervisor, they would have left long ago.
> Could have been a great opportunity to try to actually improve things rather than adding loopholes for the benefit of special interests.

The reality is that the EU legislation was toxic and loopholed at the behest of the UK and its special interests. The UK was not a moderating influence, but the UK was the one calling for no encryption and spying of the population.

If given a chance to improve or remove legislation the UK government will remove it NOT because its an assault on freedom and liberty, but because they dont think it goes far enough in curtailing freedom and liberty.

Getting people market rate is fair, but that’s

1. for regular employees.
2. Assuming market rate is fair and not minimum wage

There is no reason executive pay needs to follow market rate dynamics at a non profit. Otherwise you’ll have underpaid and free labor while executives milk the cow at 100x median pay rates and generous golden parachutes.

> You don't have to optimise for financial profitability. If the product or service you provide is valuable to people, it will automatically bring in profits.

Nope. Railways are very capital intensive, thus by definition require a long time to reimburse those initial costs. So if companies never invest in any further infrastructure, at some point they'll become profitable and remain so (see: all american cargo rail companies that haven't done anything but the bare minimum infrastructure wise for decades). But demand isn't static, therefore to actually serve the needs of the population the infrastructure needs to evolve - more routes, faster ones, newer and better trains, etc. which requires constant capital. Also, providing a valuable service doesn't mean that it can be directly financially profitable, and this is a perfect example - the indirect benefits for the economy, environment and people (because more people can access more places for work, and emissions can be drastically reduced, etc.) can and usually drastically outweigh the direct financial cost of running the route.

> No, the only reason Shinkansen exists is because of government subsidies, both direct and via interest-free "loans" without any repayment terms

Like literally any public infrastructure ever? That's literally one of the major points of a government, to build infrastructure everyone needs and will use. Roads, bridges, airports, railroads are capital intensive and rarely if ever profitable on their own in the first decades of their use. Unless you're advocating for personal teleportation devices for everyone, I'm not even sure what your argument is supposed to be; but then again, you said "stolen momey" when refering to taxes, which makes you unqualified to weigh in on any topic around infrastructure, urbanism, government spending or organisation, etc.; anyone with such a misunderstanding simply does not know enough to be a useful participant in a discussion.
Why not? It keeps bureaucrats employed. Thousands of them.
