Seems well-reasoned enough to me. That doesn't make it true, but given that the official story has some practical problems, it doesn't seem like something we can dismiss out of hand.

US takes great pains to reduce power use, like the ones mentioned in the article but as you point out HVACs at offices work 24/7 at a very cold temperature, so much so that most people bring jackets to work. Cranking the cold up by 1-2F in hotels and offices will probably be imperceptible, yet may save a tremendous amount of energy.

“Prevention” is such a loaded term because you go to the doctor, they take your blood pressure, weight, temperature, and ask a few questions. If you already know you have pain, you could have simply gone to a doctor about that pain.

I switched my family to a virtual PCP, you can text them any time, and they order all the same tests as anywhere else. I guess if you need someone to slap sense into you about being obese and smoking / drinking too much then going to a doctor could make sense.

Otherwise there is a standard schedule of tests for age groups. If you have a complex diagnosis you will need a specialist regardless.
I miss my HMO dearly. It was the last time I felt like I got good healthcare.

I now have a high deductible healthcare plan with like a $3000 deductible and the plan is “don’t get sick.” It’s disgusting and I work for a major university.
Knowing nothing much about this there are still some obvious points to make.

The CIA will not be one singular entity of one mind and focus. There will be factions in that organisation, there will be rogue elements. There does not have to be a grand master plan but there could be. There does not have to be uniform competence and there will not be. Operations go wrong all the time. Pieces will be moved into position at vast expense then not used for so many possible reasons. Further if it were a cia operation (and I have no idea about that) it may not have been intended to actually kill anyone and Oswald surprised people by his effectiveness.

All sorts of wild stuff is plausible and you need evidence to assess it. Every huckster will trade on the doubt, there will be wishful thinking and genuine, directed official misinformation. Treating the CIA as an entity all marching in lock-step of one mind and purpose is an assumption that stretches plausibility and certainly requires evidence. Chaos is almost certainly a major factor in any explanation and indeed counts as the entirety of the official version of what happened and its aftermath.

My only worry about moving to new york is not having access to Kaiser. It is such an amazing platform honestly. Anyone knows if new york has equivalents?
This is true. I might refactor the codebase to do what you're suggesting in the future.

For now I just pushed a new v1.1.0 release that automatically detects and supports ~/.emacs.el and ~/.emacs.d/init.el in addition to ~/.emacs as configuration file locations.

That should fix this problem for most people for now although I agree that your suggestion is probably more robust overall.
No, the market sets the interest rate. The government issues bonds to fund the government, and they have to offer an interest rate high enough to get buyers for all of the bonds they are selling.

The promotion incentives at least in the bigger companies generally do not favor becoming a domain expert in the product. Everyone wants to become "staff+" and rake in the big bucks, and it's a race to build an empire at the cost of getting things done many times.

How do you define a well executed project? I can think of some criteria that might be relevant:

- Are the projects still supported? How easy is it to find/hire people to maintain them? Is it easy to add new features? What is the quality like?

- Are they small/stand-alone or have they evolved into large systems with large teams working on them and many new features?

- How would you characterize their performance and scalability? Can they expand to run larger workloads? Do they make good use of the underlying hardware?

- Is there a good ecosystem, libraries, packages, drivers, etc. for the domain you're targeting?

I don't think you necessarily need to avoid conflict completely but you need to decide what hill you are willing to die on. If your co-workers, team, management, disagree with you then you can either try to convince them or you need to find consensus somehow. They could be right and you could be wrong. I can think of many examples where a single person introduced new technologies or languages or methodologies to an organization (including myself) ... Most good organizations welcome this sort of contribution. Ofcourse big decisions require compelling arguments. I've also had what I think were really good/compelling proposals for change end up being rejected, that's tough, but life goes on.

EDIT: This is mostly unrelated to the article but I think the principles in the article do apply more broadly. Having a belief is good, it is what helps us drive in the right direction, but we should constantly be open to new information that challenges our belief and adjust it if needed. The initial "belief" also has context, it's given some circumstances, what do we think is the right approach. Then as we move on and circumstances change, and we get more data, we adjust our belief. This is different than what I'd call religion. Religion never changes, pretty much by definition it can not change. You're not going to start working on Shabbat if you're Jewish, regardless of what new information comes up or the situation. If you have no belief however you're at the other extreme, you're doing random things without any strategy or plan for the future (which is sort of where the author was when he was scolded by his CEO in the story).

Which can waste a bunch of water. I do mine by hand and am often done before the hot water arrives.
The major concern with water is hot water use, as that adds a tremendously greater amount of energy to the equation. A typical sink or tub holds ~2--5 gallons filled to the brim, which is rare when dishwashing (1/2 to 3/4 fill is more typical, particularly accounting for displacement by dishes.

Rinsing is done with cold water. Options are to fill a second tub (or refill the washing tub after the suds-based wash), passing items under the tap, or using a sprayer hose (the most effective and efficient option in my experience). Total water use is typically less than that used for washing itself.

With dishwashers, it's rare that I don't have to further rinse or clean items, so the nominal usage is understating actual usage.
Thanks! And good that Google at least likely deals with it ok. Just as a general thing it is a good idea to be very careful about replay possibilities and I think you are a bit too casually dismissive. Not every provider stores email forever (although storing just the DKIM signature could be done without too much trouble) and there are circumstances where receiving the same message as previously to a cleared inbox might not be an obvious duplicate if you don't happen to look at the date (which is not something I usually do when looking at email). Of course, this is already a potential issue today.
I don't think Python is very well suited to one-liners, but it's not due to interpreter startup time (20ms on my machine). Rather, it's due to all the scaffolding needed, which AWK provides implicitly: AWK automatically reads input lines and splits them into fields, automatically initializes variables to the type's default value, and has terser syntax for things like regex matching.

Consider the following AWK one-liner which, for every input line that starts with a letter, prints the line number and the line's second field:

awk '/^[A-Za-z]/ { print NR, $2 }'

The equivalent Python program has a ton more boilerplate: import statements, explicit input reading and field splitting, and more verbose regex matching:

import re
import fileinput

inp = fileinput.input(encoding='utf-8')
for line in inp:
if re.match(r'[A-Za-z]', line):
fields = line.split()
print(inp.lineno(), fields[1])

>For example, a quarter full of high-rises, no way you can get away without expensive high-capacity subterranian trains to handle commuters

Aren't trains much, much more efficient than individual transport? Compare the average urban train with everyone driving their own car and it starts to look pretty good.
My belief is that manufacturers use the same heating elements between europe (240V, but often piped to the cold water line) and North America (120V, but usually piped to the hot water line).

No matter what, North American dishwashers will only be able to draw 1500w, and probably less because they're not always on a dedicated circuit, and have other power needs than just heat. So it's probably not a "cheap diswasher" vs expensive one issue.

> America's Test Kitchen, back when it was good (AKA when Chris was in control), said that the easiest thing to do was just use the pods that had as many colors of liquid as possible.

1. I don't see any/much difference in pre- and post-Christopher Kimball ATK. The rest of the senior staff is basically the same, so I'm not sure what would have changed.

2. What exactly is so special about the colored liquids? What is the chemical make-up of them and their purpose? And are the liquids the same between difference brands? Is the red of one the same as the red as another? Or is the red of one have an equivalent to another (brandA->red = brandB->blue)?

Because unless you know what the liquids are/do, you're just cargo culting. By some account the liquids to nothing practical:

> Chemistry expert and former detergent chemist here, chiming in. Modulo some small semantic differences, you're 100% spot on. Functionally, there is zero difference in the formulations. Every powder dish detergent on the market comprises the same functional components, though the exact chemicals selected may vary. It's always some combination of detergent, anti-deposition agent, water conditioners, strong base, oxidizers, enzymes, buffers, "processing aids", and what I call "foo foo juice" - colors and fragrances.

I actually checked this, on the regular (2 hour) cycle my dishwasher just opens the main detergent dispenser immediately. I have no idea why.

The one hour cycle actually does a prewash.

Needless to say, you don't speak for all 10 year-olds. I've been sexually assaulted and if videos of that were put online, I would feel much more vulnerable than I do today despite not getting an ounce of justice.

I gave my old parents the latest hand-me-up laptop and installed ubutntu on it because of windows 11. The install process and default configuration is so user hostile to someone that "just needs to use chrome". My niece & nephew have only known ChromeOS/iOS/Android. They will never use windows until a college course requires some specific software, or they get a desk job. I think they will for sure eventually "learn windows", but I don't think the generation behind them will.

I get the feeling more and more that peak Windows is upon us.
Kaiser took me in an ambulance for a four hour ride when I broke my ankle and got surgery that night. I paid $250 out of pocket, total.

But they wouldn't give me an MRI for my knee pain from the same injury.

So I switched to PPO (best plan I could get, anthem 250) which also denied my MRI.

Then I went to the ER for a back spasm, got muscle relaxants, $10k bill. Negotiated to $1k.

Healthcare in general in the US is a nightmare.

Yes, every company I've worked at has offered both options (HMO and PPO). I live and am employed in Massachusetts.
What companies did they own? I wonder if they happened to own chocolate, chips or candy etc. type of companies that skewed the results.
According to the Technology Connections video (linked several times in this discussion, including by me), dishwashers usually use their internal heating element to heat the water during the main cycle. The reason for running the tap is just to make sure the water is hot during the prewash cycle, since the dishwasher does not use its heater for that one (since the time is so short)

> By definition NAT will maintain state which is translation table.

Stateless NAT is also possible, but then it has to be 1:1. Which has it's purpose, but is rarely used.

A practical example would be with IPv6 if your ISP doesn't allocate you a static prefix. Stateless NAT would allow you to use a /64 from the private range of fd00::/8 in your local network which the router would translate to your globally unique /64. No state needed, because there would be as many IPs available in your LAN prefix as in your GUA prefix. All it would do would be translating fdxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:1234:1234:1234:1234 to 2yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:1234:1234:1234:1234 and vice versa.

I've also done stateless NAT on IPv4. When you request more IPs from some cloud providers, they assign you a bunch of /32s, not a proper subnet, virtually requiring you to run a cloud router.

Yeah they are idiots, but fortunately in the big picture there are not enough of them to really move the needle.
I've had some pretty awful experiences at Kaiser (including major professionalism issues among staff at a major op) and their facilities in my area are old and overcrowded. Many of their specialists are overbooked and PCPs routinely refuse to provide referrals based on that fact. Their insurance billing is supposed to be a breath of fresh air, and it usually is, but they've managed to screw that up too (in my case, by duplicating a patient record and billing to the inactive one). They are not the worst, but Kaiser has a lot of work to do.
Version control isn’t bulletproof either. All your code history is one git rebase away from being abolished forever.

I hope most orgs have processes around their main branches so this does not occur, but I’ve also been in smaller orgs and accidentally screwed up prod database tables, so the accidental git rebase isn’t impossible to consider…
"if you use a 2hr + programme then nothing survives the caustic soda"

Sure. The point is, normalising "you have to wash dishes for 2 hours" and saying "shifts stubborn stains" is really overdoing it. If you can get some of these foods off the plates before they dry, and can do a shorter wash, its win--win
I’ve been in a Kaiser plan most of my life and the “rigidity” doesn’t bother me, maybe I’m just used to it. I know exactly where I get care. Nearly everything is under one roof: doctor, lab, pharmacy, x-ray, specialists, etc. I almost always know exactly what it will cost. In recent years, I can now book all appointments online and view my medical record online.

I guess I understand the appeal of being able to pick any random doctor that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, but this doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t know squat about picking doctors and might as well throw darts at a board. Most PPO plans I look at have vague pricing: “you pay 15 percent of the plan allowance.” Well, what exactly is “the plan allowance”? Kaiser quotes me an exact copay, like $30.

And then I read horror stories about people being unable to get an appointment with a primary care doctor for months, if they can find one at all. Many just go to urgent care or ER for everything. Not a problem with Kaiser. I can look through their primary care doctors and pick one. If I don’t pick, they assign me one. I can get an appointment with my doctor in a few days or a few weeks sometimes. If I need an appointment right away, I can get one with another Kaiser doctor, perhaps at a clinic I never go to.

I tried a non-Kaiser HMO for a year or two and hated it, right down to the doctor who answered his cell phone during my appointment. I look at PPOs and the opaque pricing kills it for me. Kaiser has been great.
Edge is insidious too, from a privacy stand point. There are literally dozens of settings that effectively send "tracking" data to Microsoft from Edge. All of the sync, shopping, points, url protection, etc. settings all effectively send data to Microsoft for evaluation. And they automatically sign you into your Edge profile (from your Windows profile). Ugh.

I get that HTML has taken over the world and that most of Office now is effectively a web app. So Edge is definitely a required piece of library software on any Windows install. But the inability to just open simple hyperlinks in an alternative browser combined with Edge's insistence that every "feature" is basically Microsoft profiling you... I guess it just boggles my mind how they get away with this.

> Kaiser is great.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.
Yes however the quality varies wildly. In my two previous jobs, the HMO options were $100/mo and $400/mo respectively for a family (2 adults + unlimited dependents). In my partner's current position, the HMO option is $2000/mo– not a typo. All three plans offering essentially the same benefits but obviously the first two mentioned were carrying a much higher portion of the premiums.
What I don't understand is why my (most?) washing machine(s) doesn't have a "delay" setting to hold for 6h or whatever overnight and then finish before rates spike in the morning.

Then the water in the water heater is nice and fresh for my shower too.
Horrible! At least Apple doesn't force Safari on iOS users.
https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html 45% (and growing) of all traffic to Google is IPv6. Hardly "floundered". It's just that most major ISPs in the developed world have so many IPv4 addresses they don't care that much about IPv6 yet.

Now, try starting a new ISP without CGNAT (which will lead to a garbage experience for everyone) or IPv6. You'll have to spend literal tens (if not hundreds) of millions just on IP addresses alone.
