The others are easy too, and even more novel.

Kidding (about the novel part).

Actually, they are old as sin, er, I mean, old as nature, because, you know, they all borrow from or imitate nature, to a large extent, although there may some improvements or systematisations here and there.

Check out Bill Mollison, Gabe Brown, Geoff Lawton, Jean-Martin Fortier, Richard Perkins, Aanandaa Farms, etc, in a bit of depth at least, first.
I found the Youtube videos from dr. Abdul Saad of Vital Mind Coaching very insightful.
Disease, disaster, war all cause significant inflation because they harm or destroy both things and productivity in the real world without destroying money.

If factories shut down and supply chains are disrupted and we only make half as many cars this year, how much would people be willing to pay for those cars? Much more.
One, don't use a case. Look at how miners mounted their hardware on racks and take notes. Cheaper, better for temps, and the most efficient use of space.

Two, I recommend ignoring electricity cost and using all you can. If it's cheaper now than it ever will be, use it while it's cheap. If it will go down due to renewables, nuclear, etc in the future, it's good to buy up the GPUs while their price is artificially depressed from energy fears.

Third, go for server type PSUs and breakout boards. The server PSUs cant be beaten in watts for your dollar, and are extremely efficient.

Finally, consider scooping up some x79 and x99 xeon boards from Chinese sellers. They're cheap as hell, have PCI lanes out the wazoo, etc. This means you don't have to fool with as many mobos to run the same amount of gpus. If you go this route, don't get the bottom of the barrel no-name motherboards. Machinist is a decent one.
There was a time when Boeing was a Washington state company, with a strong engineering tradition and contribution. You can pretty much correlate the count of failures and overruns with the era when the mergers and buyouts started, the engineering substance was diluted, and management moved "off site" to Chicago to be "more accessible".

As a Washington state resident that used to be proud of Boeing, now days, I just despise them. I work with lots of fine ex Boeing engineers at my current place of work. I feel for all of the fine individuals that still work at Boeing, but other wise, I wish them the same death I wish on IBM now days.

No "Rest In Peace" from me. More of "Don't let the door hit you..." feeling.

> Wouldn't Disney be better served by using something like OIDC on a single domain?

Yes, but even small changes are incredibly time-consuming and expenses at large companies. A coordinated authentication switch like this would cost them millions in person-hours.

> it's confusing to users when their saved credentials don't autofill because they created the account on a different site

Most people log in to these sites via mobile apps, not the web. A majority of people don't even use password managers.

> Second, Disney can't use newer, more secure authentication like passkeys/WebAuthn because those are tied to a single domain.

I don't think Disney cares that much about the appearance of security. They don't tend to maintain highly sensitive profiles for people.
> needs a full application to manage a site.

AFAICT it’s not that. It’s that most shops want the ability to edit content without a developer. But such a requirement doesn’t mandate that data lives in a database vs something like, say, a set of plain-text files, that would be amenable to version control and diffing
Indeed, the military was already seeding misinformation around UFOs in the 1950s:

> When the Air Force finally made Special Report #14 public in October 1955, it was claimed that the report scientifically proved that UFOs did not exist. Critics of this claim note that the report actually proved that the "unknowns" were distinctly different from the "knowns" at a very high statistical significance level. The Air Force also incorrectly claimed that only 3% of the cases studied were unknowns, instead of the actual 22%. They further claimed that the residual 3% would probably disappear if more complete data were available. Critics counter that this ignored the fact that the analysts had already thrown such cases into the category of "insufficient information", whereas both "knowns" and "unknowns" were deemed to have sufficient information to make a determination. Also, the "unknowns" tended to represent the higher quality cases, q.e. reports that already had better information and witnesses. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Book]

That said, this misinformation only highlights that the Air Force was trying to minimize UFOs, not increase their presence in the public consciousness.
> Administrative Boundaries: A global open dataset of national and regional administrative boundaries, this boundary data includes regional names which have been translated into over 40 different languages to support international use.

Oh that is going to be fun. If I recall correctly Google Maps alters the boundaries of places based on the views of the location the map is being requested from to avoid getting in the middle of disputes.

Not "correctly" showing boundaries is a crime in many countries.

It's worth reiterating that even if FSD in all cars resulted in car crash deaths that numbered 1% of current annual deaths — 45,000, approximately 125/DAY in the U.S. — those 450 ANNUAL deaths would be considered a FAIL of FSD.

And they got one.

And that person provided one. How he procured it should be of no consequence.

Same with WhatsApp. It would be impossible for me to have a social life without WhatsApp. It covers so many groups.

I managed to get some groups of technical friends to move to other products but I don't think that would be possible with other people.

WhatsApp is not just the default group messaging app.... I don't think non-technical people could even name another. Maybe iMessage? But that's only for small and more affluent friendship groups. I don't think anybody would ever have an iMessage group for an apartment building or amateur sports team. It wouldn't even cross anyones mind to use it.
I think the point is that we live in either a universe where X is possible or a universe where X is not possible.

Sure but it's also super cheap. That's the benefit. That's the tradeoff.

And it's as easy as setting a calendar reminder.

I do wish you could pay a month without auto renewal turned on, but it's also not a big deal. You can also often just cancel auto-renew immediately after paying, so no need even for a calendar reminder.

Exactly. Websites will not require this version because they know that Safari is a minority market share and they can't force users to buy an Apple product. However if this is supported by Chrome and Safari all of a sudden the equation flips and many sites will feel that they can reject service to other users.
> It won't make them cancel the feature but don't forget to remember that they aren't above anti-trust law.

They can buy government many times over with their vast resources. This may be too late for that. What ideally should happen is that corporations this big should be split until each of the new entities meet the definition of SME. That's what is broken in the current iteration of capitalism. There is no real competition any more, so it no longer works.
> Because it's easier, cheaper and better?

Cheaper to whom? Better to whom?

> That will translate into even more expensive products for consumers.

You know what's even more expensive for consumers in the long run? But of course you don't think in the long run. Or anybody else than yourself. Or anything at all, really. I'm sorry that people like you exist. So blinded by cheap bling.

One generation of wealthy Western people filling their homes with crap because it's "cheap" and "easy", blissfully unaware or unwilling to think about the very real external costs borne by other people somewhere else. Or somewhen else for that matter – so incredibly selfish that you're entirely willing to make the world worse for your children and their children, just in order to enjoy limitless consumerism for a few decades. Feeling good about that?

We hype up extreme weather as the scary bit of climate change, but the dynamics & cycling of the atmosphere are what I most fear losing.

As higher latitudes heat, this sort of stable weather pattern might be diminished or interfered with.

Right now we are similar, but the open-source part is really key. We think that the ability to write custom plugins will make for a completely different kind of product.

I really appreciate apps that open new windows where it makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the reason it died out is because people started using too many windows for conventional floating window managers to handle. I'm not sure if many people really felt the burden it would have caused, because the growth in number of windows arguably began with having many webpages open at once, and firefox, and then later internet explorer with version 7 (or maybe 6?), introduced tabs as a core part of using a web browser.

When I'm using a tiling window manager that supports tab-style layouts (i3, sway, gnome+popOS) applications that open new windows liberally are great because the alternative is to have an ad hoc bespoke window manager inside every application, and it's much better to have a single consistent window management experience at the OS level with one set of keybondings and predictable behavior.

But if I had to have a floating window for every webpage I have open, I'd never find anything!
> It's an inference to the best explanation

You've not provided that explanation. You're telling us it's the best explanation but you haven't explained it or given any argument for why it's the best -- other than because it's what you've said is the best.
> Another issue with tiling window manager is that they place new windows in seemingly arbitrary positions

Not all tiling WMs are dynamic. Static tiling WMs exist and they give you both more control and more predictable behaviour. Don't want automatic placement and windows jumping around randomly each time you open/close something? Don't use a window manager which was designed to do exactly that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

The 27 Club is an informal list consisting mostly of popular musicians, artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27.

Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide, at age 27, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception.
Good read!

I'm not even going to summarize... If humanity's impact on this planet interests you at all, then please read the article.

Let's hope the ever-more-pressing state of affairs causes short-sighted politics to leave the stage.
Really sad. I think in may ways Ireland didn't deserve her. A true legend and icon.

Obviously she has no end of incredible songs but her version of Raglan Road sticks out as one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6zqb3gf5aA
I don't think free markets are the ultimate solution. For example, the Irish Potato Famine was made worse by absentee landlords selling potatoes as a cash export crop, contributing to the single-crop dependence and the overall famine.

Similar dynamics occur in bananna republics, the congo, etc... Free markets are great for wealthy countries with lots of functioning social and political institutions.

Free markets have been great at lifting many, many people out of poverty. However, unrestricted free markets can have horrible consequences. Just google for a few examples. Free markets work with functioning legal and social systems. I don't think it's fair to characterize the elimination of poverty as solely due to free markets.
A lot of these comments are jumping to victim-blaming, but the headline doesn't really describe the fraud. The article says the fraud they were prosecuted for wasn't even for the "psychic" services. The fraudster took a famous psychic's likeness and purported to be selling interactions with her, when in fact the letters were being destroyed and the responses were mass produced copy. Obviously "psychics" aren't real, but that doesn't mean anyone committing fraud around psychic services gets a free license to swindle customers.

The prosecution's concluding remarks are a good statement about this:

> The prosecution concluded with a simple argument: “We all have beliefs,” lawyer Charles Dunn told the jury. “You may think my beliefs are crazy. I could have the same opinion about your beliefs. We may think other people are foolish for what they believe. That’s okay. That’s not a crime. What’s not okay is taking advantage of people because of what they believe. What’s not okay is lying to them because you think they’re a fool. And it is criminal, it is a crime when you lie to them about their beliefs and take their money.”

I never left... still creating desktop applications in my spare time :-).
This is good news. It will allow me to drop MariaDB, only used for a few low traffic websites I manage, making my things more robust, more lightweight and easier to maintain.

I don't care for managing ports / sockets, migrating configurations, doing the creating database (careful not to use the not-really-utf-8 charset), user and granting privileges dance. Overkill for my use case.

Backups will also be easier: a simple rsync call will do, no need to call the specific mysql backup command anymore (of course it's automated but that's one less thing that can fail, less moving parts)

I bet we are many people in this case.
> there is literally zero reason to assume that the thing worked on would be useful to society in any way whatsoever, it can be useless or even detrimental to it - the current mechanism of monetary compensation is the thing aligning the work to interests of others, remove it and you can't expect that alignment to persist.

I think a strong argument can be made that the current system does not necessarily align the work being done with the interests of others in a broad or universal sense. Think about a corporation with a very useful drug whose patent is about to expire. Allowing the drug to go generic would be in the best interests of many poor sick people all over the world (patent harmonization means even poor countries must follow US patent law or get locked out of global systems). However companies often find legal tricks they can use to effectively renew the patents for their drugs. This aligns with the interests of some people - the shareholders for example, but is detrimental to the interests of sick poor people all over the world.

And this isn’t a hypothetical, this just happened again two weeks ago with Johnson and Johnson and only a coordinated pressure campaign from some high profile YouTubers was able to get the company to relax their plans:
https://youtu.be/tMhgw5SW0h4

However when there is no profit motive, people often work on problems that they personally need to solve, and there is often good alignment with the work they are doing and the needs of others.

More broadly, we can say that the current system does not necessarily align the work being done with the needs of most people, and that alternative ways of aligning that work must be possible.
I honestly don't know how someone could do much of anything in a "single window" on a 27" iMac screen. (Anything beyond, say, watching a movie or the like.)

On a laptop, sure, to a point. But these drive in theater style displays? Not quite sure how that works. Maybe it's great for video editing, but the screen is so large, and the eye can really focus on just a small portion of it, just seems like a lot of wasted space.

For example, I have this in a browser window, on my 27", with the text box, at, say, 6" wide by 2" tall, is roughly centered on the screen, about 30% down. The unexpanded text area has, I'd say, 6" of "margin" on the top, 8-10" on each side, and similar amount to the bottom. (Arguably it's a bit too hight right now for me.)

Not the window, mind, the text entry box (which could be expanded, but I don't). So, I'm easily "wasting" over 90% of my display right now. If it was "full screen", it would be crammed in the upper left corner. I'd either have to chronically cock my head, of simply shift the entire display over to put it in a comfortable position.
Organic fruit is more expensive than non-organic fruit, more expensive fruit is considered more luxury, and as a result supermarkets always sell organic fruit in wasteful but 'luxurious' packaging. In my corner of Britain, I don't think I've seen organic bananas sold loose, for instance.

Another example is the toilet paper company which, in order to brand themselves as eco-friendly, use recycled, unbleached paper. Sounds great until you see that each roll is individually wrapped... in glossy, bleached paper!
They could, but transistors were expensive at the time. Why spend valuable space making sure all instructions are well defined?

On modern CPUs designed for multi-processing and protected memory, you don’t want some instructions to accidentally cross privilege boundaries (can’t have an ‘illegal’ opcode accidentally be non-privileged and modify some privileged processor state), so you have to do some of that. Transistors also are cheap, so you can afford to.

Their definition includes "Foreign workers", aka kafala. These people live in the country to work and accrue money for their families back home while they live in compounds and rarely directly interact with the host population.

The host countries are largely empty husks which have very unproductive labour. They offset the productivity gap with oil revenues to bring in cheap labour keeping their quality of life higher.

And yes, big IMHO to everything I said. I don't carry source in my back pocket.
Related, the story of William Lyttle[1], the “Mole Man of Hackney”, is rather fascinating. Dug for years underneath his house and surrounding streets in London.

He was then evicted by the local council, the house sold, renovated by an architect and a well known artist moved in[2].

I don't really like things like hot pockets. I love sushi though. I don't think it's a good analogy, just because some, maybe even a majority, don't enjoy sushi and literary fiction that doesn't mean there isn't a market for those things.

I feel overwhelmed by book choice these days. I like M. John Harrison and his novels could be considered themed with a literary fiction style, so I wonder if there's was just an evolution and nobody is writing pure LF but the style of it has merged into all other genres.
I wish I understood this guy's motivation.

Let's assume he's not a nut job... So why is he bringing to light secrets which could negatively affect U.S. security? Especially as a career Air Force officer and intelligence services member. Whether you agree that this info should be public or not, there's something odd about this person's 180 degree flip. From swearing an oath to protect the country and its secrets, to insisting those secrets become public. Really?

Let's also assume his story is real: The tech could be nuclear weapon level science, so secrecy would nominally be a good thing. But he doesn't seem to know what it is, and has decided that it doesn't matter anyways. What would possess him to face public ridicule, criticism, career damage and all that to be a whistleblower for something that could potentially be dangerous if public knowledge?

It just doesn't add up.

Also, it seems to me the last president wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret had he known about it. Which leads to all sorts of "Independence Day" style conspiracy theories. Occam's Razor says it just isn't true.
The implication seems to be it was hacked, no? More context is needed.
The fraudsters were pretending to be someone else, who claimed to be a psychic.

They tricked people into paying for communications that were supposedly from a specific, real person. The letters they received did not actually contain communications from that person.
“Damning” is the wrong word here. “Damning” would be “oh, look, the researchers forgot that the plot showing zero voltage also shows current dropping to zero. They’re clearly measuring a bad contact.”

But the papers don’t show that. There’s no obvious contradiction unless you make some big assumptions.
It's not really random though.

She's announced she was going to do it before and to be fair she's always had more than her fair share of mental troubles, sadly. As someone who is also cursed with those I know how hard that can be and I didn't even lose a child.

Withholding the cause is what leads to speculation and I don't think it's a bad guess in this case.

Personally I think it's better if they just announced it because believe it or not something like this can also lead to good things. Because it can make people think, realise these things happen and notice the signs in people around them.
