Sorry I misunderstood your point. You're right that they tend to support more socialistic policies, though I don't necessarily believe in how much they actually want these policies passed. They all greatly benefit from the status quo.

In the cases of these newspapers, it's clear they're used to hold political power and push narratives. The willingness for that billionaire to take on CNN for $1 despite it losing money shows that I think.
My last three jobs involved large scale systems. I've designed numerous ones. The last company I was at was a small startup and still did billions of transactions, a non trivial amount that certainly can't be handled by a single machine.

It's not that it's hard to do the math, but it's hard to find product market fit where that inequality is satisfied. And sometimes people think they are gods gift to hardware design and can't be reasoned with to do a cost down.

That is often how I use it on facebook messenger since it's so conveniently placed.

It's fine that a verbal agreement is binding, but you should have to utter the sentence "I agree with the terms" or when asked a question with a yes/no answer, reply with "Yes".
Yeah I'll bite.

James Cameron said something to the effect of "a ticket to a movie is a promise to give something 100% of your attention for 2 hours" -- and most of the time I'm NOT willing to do that.

I was a gamer from Atari 2600 to Saturn. My experience was exactly that once I was bored with Virtua Fighter it felt like nothing good was coming out for it. Even Virtua Fighter while fun didn't stay that fun for very long.

I know I had just got it at New Years 1995/96. It was $399, $790 adjusted for inflation.

It is really one of the worst purchases of my life in terms of the excitement of coming home with it to not playing it a few months after. I had no other games but Virtua Fighter for it and it pretty much ruined my interest in gaming.

Are you trying to shame my 1980s values with LEGO?

"I KNOW that FN piece is in here!!!! I JUST SAW IT!!!!"

You're robbing your kids of a life lesson. and better image recognition, memory, sorting processing thoughts, etc.

There are so many lessons embedded in working with LEGO that can only be learnt through the frustration of a F-ton of brix in a bin and your looking for that specific 1x2 -- or worse yet, 1x1 smooth piece.

I used to buy things in bulk from LEGO at the mall in San Jose and just have bins of smooth pieces and other were parts...

> The biggest difference is that I don't believe this is true. The interface may be extremely gnarly and hard to express, but I do believe the interface can always in principle be sliced. It may not be practical (the interface is far more complicated than the thing before cutting) but it is still in principle possible.

Well "practicality" matters. And I used weasel words such as "generally."

It's one thing to make concrete suggestions about how to actually achieve the thing you're looking for. But when you're way out in right field picking daisies, it just comes across (to me) as unproductive.

> but the broad brushstrokes would be the same?

This is basically impossible to answer. I could just as well say that the "broad brushstrokes" are the same between the `regex` and `regex-lite` crates.
Sometimes, yes. The radar my old Infiniti G35 used would sometimes get confused when facing into the sun in the late or early day and do bad things (in either direction: losing the car in front of it or decelerating unnecessarily). It was still HITL: I'd tap the brake and mitigate the bad thing it was doing.

HITL doesn't mean that a human never has to intervene or is never surprised by what the system does. It just means that a human initiates actions and can exercise genuine oversight and control.
I was a paid user for many, many years. I helped them when they opened the Austin office, and find folks. I liked Evernote. Like 2 years ago I canceled; bugs and the features/functionality didn't justify the cost when apps like Apple Notes (free) just do the trick well-enough. This remind me that I still have content in Evernote that I need to get out (when I tried the 1st time was kind of a pain to do that).
There is a good range of "3-in-1" sets that are good at starting kids off building the same bricks into multiple models: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/themes/creator-3-in-1

Once they've got a few sets like that, the rebuilding into unspecified stuff seems to come naturally (at least with the cousins and friends kids I've played with).
Not just hottest day. As of 2023 we now have multi-month streaks of:

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent records:
https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/antarcti...

Ocean Temperature records:
https://www.theinvadingsea.com/2023/05/01/record-warm-oceans...

2-Meter Air Temperature records:
https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_daily/

You have to look back 3 million years to see the same GHGe concentrations and temperatures that earth is reaching now (the two are closely correllated throughout most of earth history, and easily explained by science - the greenhouse effects, and the thin earth surface and atmosphere mostly acting as a closed system).

We see that both ice, ocean and air are heating up and accellerating as of 2023. What is observed now is in-line with projections, such as summed up in this hobbyist article (taken with some grains of salt): https://medium.com/@samyoureyes/the-busy-workers-handbook-to...

Even if some of what is summarized on the notes linked above may be exhaggerated, it seems this is now happening sooner, faster and more relentless than IPCC and scientific consensus have found so far.

Note that any averages or aggregates on measurements, such as those IPCC and climate scientists use, will lag reality by approximately half the period used. So using multi-year averages means we will already be too late when long-term averages show accelleration, even if final calculations will be more stable ("smoother") by using averages. Of course there's no way to really "cheat" this, but that means when we now see we are in uncharted territory, it should be taken seriously.
I am also surprised at how rarely Standard Notes is mentioned.
This is explained in detail in the F.A.Q. here:

Btw this a fallacy/bad accounting that many home owners fall into.

Most say $550K sale price minus $400K purchase price == $150K profit.

But you need to remove: Taxes, maintenance, cost of your time (if you value that at all), realtors fees, HOA, bank fees/insurance, home insurance, depreciation on purchases you only had because of home ownership (tools, lawn mower etc).

Once you remove those it's hard for home ownership to make financial sense relative to investing in the stock market + renting.

However, and this is discussed in another thread, homeownership is a lifestyle choice, and we should be ok with making financially suboptimal choices for the sake of a quality life. We just need to keep clear it's an expense for a purpose, not an investment for financial gain. If we overspend on house liability it's no different than overspending on cars or food or travel.
> when I very decidedly (and purposefully) didn't say that

I think perhaps the reason you had that thought of writing it explicitly was because it was the mentality behind your entire comment.

Ie, it was what you wanted to write; but you knew that was wrong, so you made a bad faith personal attack instead. (The one I called out.)

But the purpose of that bad faith reply is to shame them into sitting down and shutting up about being othered and vilified.

I think it's all too common to absorb a value system from social context with little examination. Validation is more comfortable than doubt, peer pressure is real and habit/convention carry inertia. It took me 2 years in a job I knew I couldn't justify to finally work up the courage and conviction to leave. Moreover the cycle can take place multiple times in life as beliefs are updated and values refined.

Conmen and literal criminals only go away if you make them go away or they stop making money. There's zero way to prevent any of these boring and antiquated scams from happening, no one to run to when it does happen, and zero way to undo it by design. Crypto people approach this by denying it happens, then that it matters.

Crypto is a holy grail for scammers, fraudsters, and conmen. You can "work" marks that live in an entirely different hemisphere, with no cut taken by whoever would normally get the money to you, the market is chock full of fools, by the very nature of the complete lack of utility of crypto so it's predominantly "true believers" who are obscenely gullible, have been scammed like three times before, and still will DM random people on instagram to get "in" on "the next big thing".

You keep calling it "environmental terrorism". How are you making that leap without even knowing who did it. Assuming for a moment the Ukraine government is involved (unproven), it seems far more likely they saw an opportunity to sabotage Russian infrastructure rather than an environmental motivation. You know the country that invaded them and they are currently at war with?

> Greta Thunberg, figurehead of environmentalism

Yuck. Greta is a 20-year old woman who happened to find the spotlight at 15 because a young person being so outspoken captured the public imagination. She's not some patron saint of environmentalism she's one young person who will enjoy making a great many bad decisions in her life (it's not clear to me that this is one). Taking her every action or inaction and using it to paint the entire environmental movement is nonsense.

> > Last year Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, asked workers to “think and reflect” before asking for pay rises.

Yeah, pay raises aren't good for shareholder value.

Besides, we all know the CEO deserves all the money. They do all the work, why shouldn't they reap all the profits? (/s for those that need it)
I disagree. The thumbs-up was in response to the very clear request "please confirm flax contract."

In that context, I think 99% of people would take that as confirmation of the contract rather than an "I got your message" response.

But it does underline your point, which is correct: when it comes to contracts, it's wise to be as painfully clear as possible.
That’s probably not going to help you avoid PFAS though. The natural reservoirs are where the contamination is happening.

I'm pretty astonished by the price, my current headphones are studio monitors that costed $50, and according to your website, the retail price of your system will be 16 times that. It's difficult to imagine justifying that, even if you also get earbuds.
You have strange definitions of "just fine".

> Instead of 4 kids you might have 2

Ok.

> Your spouse might have to work part time or full time

This isn't "just fine". There is significant overlap in child success and a stay at home parent. There should be no case where a job at the caliber of ENGINEER cannot support a family to provide such an environment.

> Instead of a big house with a backyard you might go for a smaller place or somewhere farther out in the country.

You don't even get this at 80,000 if you want to live within 50 miles of any metro with jobs. Engineering jobs even more so. Going back to your statement before you now have a contradiction:

1. Have a spouse work

2. Have someone to drop your kids off at school because you live in the sticks

I don't think you have actually experienced trying to do exactly what you proposed. Inflation and free money has created an environment hostile to having anyone but the state raise your children. I got a house extremely cheap in a middle-cost-of-living area (~50% markup over price prior to GFC, low 200s). If I was making 80,000 a year I wouldn't be able to afford this modest starter home. That's bullshit. There is no question. Starter homes haven't been cheap enough to afford on a single 80,000 salary in my area for 25 years.

I think i agree with you (but what do i know, hah), but it sounds like it's useful to know we're in the wrong here. Which is to say, this seems to suggest we should alter behavior with these types of things to ensure specificity and explicitness.
I would argue a web server which processes all (or most) requests is a performance sensitive part of the system. Straightforward rewriting from Python to Go in many cases gives at least 2x-3x performance improvement which on FAANG scale can mean huge difference in hardware cost.

The challenge is separating the two oft intertwined thoughts of what's financially optimal, and what is lifestyle desirable.

We often use an argument in one area to justify a poor choice in another. It's fine to make a financially suboptimal choice to rent/buy (as is the case) to acquire a desirable lifestyle. Just as it's financially optimal to walk everywhere, but in reality we want to drive a car (and maybe a fancy one at that). It's when we start to say "This home is an investment, so I'll buy a $EXPENSIVE home"... that simply burdens us with high expenses relative to the lifestyle gains and we've actually done the opposite of good investing, for little lifestyle gained over a moderate home.
I neither agree nor disagree with your position (still thinking about it), but I do think that's right uncharitable mind-reading you've done of GP. They never said anything about "looking to quickly cash in to something he didn't put an ounce of effort in."
Sorry, that's not a false dichotomy.

A second ISP isn't free, it has significant costs in terms of dollars and complexity. The question is, does CF and another provider have significant benefits to justify the additional costs? For it to make sense you have to believe the redundancy CF provides is significantly lacking (and in a way that adding a second provider addresses). Maybe it's true, but it would be nuts to just assume it and start spending a lot of money.
