> why wouldn't they just cut the cable when it's not in use then?

It's dangerous to cut cables if you don't know which are the hot ones, since you run the risk of completing a circuit with the live wire, the scissors, your body, and the ground beneath you.
There are enough people who advocate for Tailwind that I can't dismiss them in good conscience, but if you put a gun to my head and forced me to give my honest opinion, I can't think of a single problem that Tailwind solves that isn't better solved by web components and scoped CSS, BEM, or a decent CSS-in-JS library.

When I see articles praising Tailwind, they're almost always comparing it to the worst possible way to write CSS -- a mixture of arbitrary classnames that get reused across components and semantic styles that refer directly to HTML and use child selectors to target specific elements.

Well yeah, if you compare Tailwind to that, it probably looks great. If you compare JQuery to building HTML templates in PHP using string concatenation, JQuery probably looks great too.

Again, I can't dismiss it, the people advocating for it must know about these other solutions. I can't dismiss them. But I don't understand it. And the articles that are written about why it's good are entirely unpersuasive. They're talking about problems that I consider to be already solved.

People advertise Tailwind by saying "we want the styles to be based on the component." Yeah, I want that too, but it sure looks Tailwind is a really inconvenient, cumbersome way to do that. You can scope CSS to components if you want to, that's not something that requires Tailwind.
it's definitely possible to model programming as an art, and there is value in that model, but (imo) that model is neither productive nor accurate in most programming contexts
> Puberty blockers have been administered as a valid treatment for precocious puberty for many decades.

That's a different treatment though, because puberty eventually resumes. Halting it entirely is more akin to the castrati children [1] who had their puberty physically blocked through removal of testicles.

> There seems to be a lot of questionable statistics done.

I doubt it in the sense of "finger on the scale". For some indications (common cold) the statistics are pretty clear (large n, unambiguous signals) even if the therapies are poor (thus there is basically no treatment for the common cold).

Something like Alzheimers is at the other extreme: the disease is very poorly understood, it's very serious, and even measuring progress is difficult. So if you can find something that appears to show some net benefit to a nontrivial proportion of patients it's considered ethical to get it out there.

Sure, the gold standard would be a multi-arm trial with controls, lasting 30-40 years and starting with subjects without any symptoms at all. That's probably the only way to get a reasonable n. But apart from the fat that nobody would, or probably even could, do such a trial, I doubt it would be ethically acceptable.

This is just reality.

Most modular housing in the US is double- and triple-wide houses that look exactly like what they are. Boring, simple layouts, ugly roof lines, clearly going for efficiency over any kind of style. And the construction quality isn't magic, despite them being put together on an assembly line. They're subject to the same cost-cutting as every other mass produced item.

I think manufactured homes would be more palatable if they stick-built certain parts of them. The big one being the roof. Instead of the low overhang, low slope design that works well for transport, ship them as roofless boxes and then do the roof on-site.

Of course, the problem with that is that a manufactured home isn't -that- much cheaper when you're done, so any kind of manual labor to make it prettier will close that gap quickly.
Interesting, any more details on this? (And have people worked around that?)
Yup.
I like to look in the ElectrifyAmerica app periodically at the ~5 stations nearby, and its just a sh*tshow at all times.

I’ve had the misfortune of driving through northern Ontario five times in the last four years and I am embarrassed that it is a vital link in our country. The distances between Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay and then Thunder Bay and Kenora or Winnipeg are devoid of any form of amenity, have terrible cell reception, and are poorly maintained in winter despite the traffic. If poor weather hits you can easily add 25-40% to your already long 8-9 hour drive, and have no option to split the drive. The few motels that exist in the podunk villages on the way are often boarded up out of season, and the temperatures get so low in the winter that sleeping in the car to break up the drive could literally be a matter of freezing to death.
Is not relevant probably. This kind of crime is 100% opportunistic and normally collaborative. Done by specialized gangs that came attracted to touristic areas like sharks by the blood. Being from a different country is not uncommon.

I know. I love to teach too. But I’d never take it up as a profession. The vast majority of successful people who have a yearning to pass on their knowledge hand select a few protégés or write a book.

I have had one teacher who was like that. He’d been involved in the development of nuclear weapons before he retired. Incredibly smart guy. Unfortunately, he couldn’t teach physics worth a dime. He had the highest drop out rate of any physics teacher at my college.

Those two scenarios cover the vast majority of cases.
This reminds me of a Polynesian island that is part of the French overseas territories. You chose this and you are now responsible for them. The French built an undersea cable specifically for this Island. I don't think the cable will ever pay itself back but that is the cost of the privilege of calling a territory yours. (The cost was around 100 million €, the GDP of Wallis And Futuna is 180 million €).

>Anybody can tweak the system to make it better for themselves.

99% of users just use whatever the default packages their ON gives them. Practically none of them are digging into the code and making changes.

>as opposed to proprietary software which sells licenses, the most common open source monetary model seems to be selling support in which case the people buying support can ask for the feature without telemetry.

Proprietary software which are sold are in the business of creating products with enough value that people are willing to pay actual money for them. It is smart to look at what these businesses are doing because they are incentivized to make good software so they get to be efficicient about doing so. Meanwhile most open source programs are given out for free and do not care about user experience or providing features for the mass audience.

Asking for features publically is just one, biased signal. There is more to telemetry like seeing what features are actually used. What investments should be double downed on. What features should be made more clear how to use. What crashes are the worst. What parts of your program need to be optimized. etc.

I had a slightly different take that there was no highly advanced "attack". Greco merely encouraged the protagonist to drop their ego boundary, causing the protagonist self-centered mental breakdown to occur. It seemed clear to me that throughout the story the main form of the protagonist unhappiness and stress stemmed from an egocentric orientation (total separation from society and nature).

My trouble w/ Mastodon’s politics is that so many people there use the word “nazi” and “fascist” incorrectly. I mean, it is no accident at all that Mussolini and Lenin had their revolutions at the same time because institutions in Europe were at the breaking point.

You could have been a fascist in Europe from 1905-1945 or so but George Bush, Donald Trump, and other Republican politicians are not fascists, they are something else.

Already though I can point out two problems w/ Threads v Mastodon which are: no alt-text and no hashtags; culturally we put alt text on images and hashtags are rocket fuel for engagement on Mastodon.

I see that reasoning very often but I don't agree with it (note that I'm not saying a local exploit is great).

But first I'll start with a question: why don't you (and everybody else for that matter), run everything as root?

Why don't we all search our entire disks for every single executable and then execute chmod 777 on all of them? I mean: that'd make for a good XKCD...

If the idea is that it's game over anyway if there's a local exploit, we may as well just run everything as root right? Why even bother with sudo at all?

> Out of curiosity: What sensitive things does the root account protect on your workstation?

I'm one of those person using several user accounts on my own system. For example my professional account is separated from my personal account (and I do use both simultaneously). One of my browsers (I run several browsers) is in a throwaway user account: clean slate at every launch. Why not?

And a local exploit compromising one user account requires a second exploit to access what's in the other users accounts.

> The only thing root access would give somebody on my machine is to uninstall some random packages or corrupt my install.

Root access could allow the attacker to install a persistent backdoor which would be very hard to detect. Installing a persistent backdoor that can evade detection is incredibly harder to do if all you have is a local exploit.

I take a system on which I have more chances to detect that an exploit happened --even if the exploit did already happen-- any day over one with less chances to detect that an exploit happened.

And even if, for me, a local exploit means it may be too late for some stuff (although having U2F/webauthn and soon passkeys in many important places should limit damages), having a non-compromised root may allow me to detect a local exploit and share my findings with the community. Which has a lot of value too.
And yet every one of those automation has been driven by somebody, who presumably will receive value for that work. They in turn, will drive demand for goods/services - thus producing more jobs in the process (perhaps a job that doesn't currently exist).

I dont think the doom and gloom scenario being sold as the AI apocalypse is as bad as it is being portrayed.

It only took a handful of years once cars greatly proliferated in the 20s. Any adoption took longer then to proliferate than it does today, so I would be careful extrapolating from either the pace of adoption in the 20s or the pace of adoption from the invention of the automobile to the beginning of accelerated adoption.

I strongly disagree with this. I don't know if it is genuinely true in a biological sense, but in my life experience it is not even close to true. There are lots of things I do that are so far beyond my abilities as a teenager. It could be due to other factors, but my gut suggests those other factors are much more important than this comment about mere brain power leads us to believe.

I think this is the important bit. Amazon knows on exactly which routes a full battery and a full load of packages line up, so they can put the EVs on those routes.
I'm not sure what you're arguing for/against with this line of reasoning.

The previous statement was in regards to the extraction of value - modern markets are such that the best(/fastest/easiest/etc) way to make money is to be at the top of the value chain and let your capital do the work. This is a self-reinforcing feedback loop, enabling you to use your increasing gains to find other forms of leverage (in your example - buying the mine and the equipment, setting up commodity trading positions, etc) and keep on ratcheting up the leverage. One inevitable outcome is for you to have the opportunity to use this leverage against the people doing the actual digging up of the gold.

Not exactly related, but I preordered a Rivian SUV and waited in line for about 2 years. By the time my turn finally came up, lots of other manufacturers had announced plans to release off-road or towing-capable EVs, many at lower price points, so I ended up cancelling. I really hope Rivian succeeds and I'm excited to learn more about their second vehicle line, but anyone purchasing right now needs to have a true early adopter mindset, because they're paying a huge premium to get a Rivian today instead of a similar car for half the price in a year or two.

Also, I have to admit, as much as I love what this company is doing, both the R1 line and the Amazon van look totally cartoonish to me.

The limiting factor for outlets is typically the wire, not the plug. A standard NEMA 14-30 plug that is often used here in the US for high power appliances like dryers and ranges can provide 24amps continous at 240V, for a total of 5760[0] watts. Electric water heaters typically run at around 4500 watts. If you need more power, NEMA 14-50 is available as well.

More capable options exist if needed, but I have never seen them in a residential setting.

[0] The 30 indicates that it supports a peak wattage of 30.
Well let’s say I find a super successful restaurant that makes its burritos one way. I’m amazed. I’m inspired. I write a book about it and describe the specific ways that they do things that make them successful.

Then a few years later, I find another super successful burrito restaurant. They make it completely opposite to what I wrote in my book.

It turns out the reasons for success runs deeper than the superficial things that you see people do day to day.

For every successful person that reads a book a week, there’s probably 5 that just laze on the couch.

I do some homebuilding and I encase all my wires within walls (especially telecom) in PCV conduit (not quite Chicago style of using EMT), which allows me to pull what I want through and after the walls are finished. It also lets me upgrade my 240V conductors to handle higher current situations as I always conduit dedicated runs for dedicated circuits. I do not build slab homes, only pier and beam or basement foundation, so there is always room to go under. For plumbing, I use PEX-A for water but transition to copper at a stub pipe resulting in that being the only connection in-wall, with all branching done under the floor or under the water heater connection point (which is exposed with a water filter and access panels).

Threads will follow the usual tech trends. It will be enjoyable for users, and Meta will run it at a loss to try to defeat Twitter.

It will become “enshittified.”
