I do this a lot for games, but cost per hour. Some games now are really expensive (£60 etc) but if I get 40 hours entertainment out of it then per hour that is actually pretty good.
Your assessment is a non-sequitur to the article.

Surgeons wear masks to protect the patient, because masks are very effective at trapping both droplets and aerosols that are emitted from the wearer. They are not designed to protect the user from lingering aerosols as masks are too loose to form a good seal, so most air breathed in simply enters from around the sides of the mask.
I'd be interested to see it, that's not an obvious conclusion to me. The health difference of an EV is a percentage increase in tire particles but a complete absence of tailpipe emissions. I would not expect tire particles to be the more significant factor, especially when the impacts of microplastics are so unknown.

Tailpipe emissions are a significant problem (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ab35fc), and I know this is an extreme example but you can literally kill yourself by just leaving a car running in an enclosed space. EV tailpipe emissions are not fully replaced by electricity generation emissions, even if you get your power from 100% coal (and you don't). Power plants are much more efficient than internal combustion engines.

Those are not proofs of indoctrination infeasibility, just that in US religious indoctrination isn't working anymore. I believe it is mostly because schools and parents became more secular and unreligious. Same happened with ideological indoctrination in USSR 1980s.

On the other hand, left liberal indoctrination works fine in US right now, as we can see. Same with imperial indoctrination in today's Russia.

Going with this, here in New Zealand we have disease associated with the overcrowding from to the number of colonies. We have too many honey bees.

As the number of colonies has started to fall in recent years, yield per hive has started to go up.

Overcrowding leads to more mites, more AFB and less honey. It’s also a right PITA trying to get stuff done late season, as bees descend and cause chaos at the whiff of sugar/honey.

The merging happens primarily on hot data, I haven't run into any issues there.

But there are lots of approaches, depending on your needs.

You can (should) define a "cache disk" for S3, which will cache up to X Gb locally to avoid trashing.

Another option is is to move data into separate (purely S3 backed) tables after a certain time to avoid accidentally fetching large amounts of data from S3.
You can still easily join the data together if needed.

Air pollution in rural areas in the Western Balkans is, besides vehicles, largely a function of burning wood for heating. For example, look at Korçë in Albania, which is a black spot on your linked map (very high pollution): this surely reflects in part the burning of wood in November–April by nearly the entire town, because it is cold at 800 m, but they do not have access to gas heating, and electric heating is expensive. Again, because the trend is mainly to go up to the mountains in the summer months, when the locals are not running their wood stoves, foreign remote workers avoid the worst of that.
Ludgate's logarithms allow multiplication by addition of indices, but they are not derived from a base, and the indices are all whole numbers. It is an essentially empirical system, unlike the comparable Zech/Jacobi logarithms which are based on number theory.
Logarithms allow approximately multiplying numbers with several significant figures. This method compresses exact single-digit multiplication into three exact lookups (with log tables you would instead look for nearby entries) and one addition. Also unlike logarithms, the intermediate integers are quite meaningless. They are a bit like logarithms but severely fiddled with.

> this shithole of a city

I've lived in Munich and it's one of my favorite cities in the world. I'm from Nashville and I mostly hate it, though people seem to love it. I think you are experiencing a severe bias if you think Munich resembles anything close to a "shithole." It has amazing parks, great transportation options, a good vibe, hikes within a short train ride, etc. It has tourists and big events? Oh, no...so like every big city on Earth? Avoiding Wiesn is actually extremely easy, unlike other massive events in other cities.
Same experience. I probably took a few years off my life with my year by a freeway in LA. So much black crap on everything.
My kids are 6 and 2. Right now the wife and I are trying to hold off getting them phones until they are driving. I'm sure that could change when they're in middle school and high school, and whining because all their friends have phones. But, I'm going to try my best to hold the line.
Moral thing is for the child that doesn't have enough money to not go on that trip. It is a valuable lesson that to get something useful from other people you need to do something useful for them first. The difference of what you did and what you took is the money you have.

Taking children to the same trips and giving them all the same toys does not give them equal opportunities, due to natural differences of abilities and interests the children have.

I myself was a child who very often had to stay at home when my class went to cinema or to play computer games. I never would even consider to want to have one less sibling in exchange for going to more trips. In fact i would happily give most of what i had as a child in exchange for having one more brother. After all the best memories are not from expensive things, but from reading a book, or playing together with toys made from simple sticks and newspaper.

If your answer to your question is that, if a child can't go to a trip with the rest of the class then that child is better to not exist at all, then your system of beliefs is immoral and abhorrent. And it is a good thing that such a system of beliefs also leads people holding it to not reproduce and by that select such horrible thinking out of population.
I don't think that's an accurate characterization. If you have an email with a DKIM signature, from Gmail or from a myriad of vendors, then either:

a. The email is authentic.

b. The service allows whoever administers the service to configure outgoing emails however they please.

c. There is a documented method by which the service allows you to override the sender address.

d. The service has risked its reputation to "forge" the signature.

The middle two options are extremely common in any business setting. Gmail supports both.

--

I am assuming, since your post does not appear to be agreeing with the parent comment, that when you say "authentic" you mean "sent or authorized by the individual named in the username field". If you mean "sent in a manner configured by some entity with authority on how the domain is used for sending email", then that is exactly the parent comment's point.
This is just meaningless overqualification, as if you're trying to escape reality. Any kind of glass is going to be more resistant to scratches than plastic, even the kind that claims to be scratch-resistant. By cheap hinges, I mean they take less stress before fracture and fewer actuations before failure.

This is really not rocket surgery. We're talking about sunglasses. As I said above, I don't need to write a white paper or do an academic study to know this is true, it's based on my experiences wearing all these different types of sunglasses over decades and observing how they are constructed and how they respond to various types of normal wear to outright abuse.
Huh. Now those are interesting numbers.

My memory tells me that's not what it felt like when I lived in the US. by your stats I'd have expected my US rent to have eaten closer to 15% than 30% of my take home pay, like it does here, at least if the rents were a competitive enough market to track closely with mortgages. But that's not what I remember ever happening, nor did I spend most of my life in major metros -- my adult working life was almost entirely in Madison, WI, which is about the size of my current Tampere. Rent ate up about 30% of my take home in both places. The apartment I currently rent is bigger than the apartment I rented back there as well, although it is a little older.

I'd expect to have felt the pinch of such a vast price to net income ratio difference in my rent, at least a little bit. So... why haven't I? I have about as apples-to-apples a comparison as it is reasonable to make, right down to them both being heavy student towns.
I didn't mean to imply you don't, more that I'm aware of that ('a pickle') and can't speak with much certainty about what else is available.

My point was only supposed to be that I can't see what's wrong with 'pickle' as a translation. I don't think any Indian would hesitate to call picallili an achar at a glance (on tasting it they might find it unexpectedly mild, but certainly you can have mild achars).
So people shouldn't have freedom of association or control over their own property?

Don't get me wrong: I have no problem with drinking beer, I used to be able to down an entire case of Augustiner in my best days in one night. Personal record at Oktoberfest is something around 6-7 Maß.

The problem I have with Oktoberfest is that it's gotten way out of hand, it's too much impact for the local population for way too little gain for common people - and it's increasingly unaffordable: 15 euros for a liter of beer? That's bloody ridiculous.

I suppose I should say forced integration; ex. see the recent nonsense with Hue deciding you need an account to control your local lightbulbs, which isn't a problem with third party apps.

Isn't that like 80 apartments? That's not going to bring down housing costs in Munich materially. Millions of people live there.

You'd need 10s of thousands of new units to bring down prices materially.
Correct: pay for value, not useless hashing.
I'm sure there are always some people looking into 4chan as a place to spread an agenda due to the ease of posting, no need for an account, popularity, etc. However, banning for "anything remotely against russia and china" is a silly exaggeration. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, my best guess is that you posted on some of the boards with tighter moderation, and what you posted was simply off topic. Most boards still prune off-topic shitposting somewhat reliably.

Not to the exclusion of other peoples, you can find plenty of gleeful posts about the brutal deaths of Russians and Chinese, or just simply mocking their societies/industries, at any given time on at least three boards, off the top of my head.
Mission Center: A Sleek System Monitoring App for Linux
The reason 9600bps was The Speed for terminals is that with 10-bit framing (start/byte/stop) you could send an entire 80×24 screen in two seconds, while not overloading the (fractional-MIPS) host with interrupts or DMA when doing so for many users.

Typically a minicomputer terminal multiplexer batched transmission when possible, so it only had to issue an “all done” interrupt to the CPU when it was done sending a batch of characters it pulled from memory via DMA. Similarly, in character mode it only had to issue a “something’s waiting” interrupt to the CPU when a receive buffer was full or a sequencing character (like carriage return) was received.

This is also why so many mainframes and minicomputers used block mode terminals: Applications use a forms API and all editing/filling happens on the terminal: The computer transmits a full form to the terminal, the user fills in the form including correcting mistakes and possibly even sees some validation (eg numeric versus alphanumeric fields), the field contents are sent to the computer upon an explicit “done” action.

Even for “fully” interactive use many such systems preferred to use a line mode, where the current line contents are only sent upon specific actions, and line editing takes place on the terminal. UNIX style “raw” mode was too high-overhead for the number of users that systems needed to service, even if the terminals cost a bit more.

Why ORDINARY important - because it's production scaled very well, for example. today they sell million i7s, tomorrow could easy scale to 100 millions.

Apple solution is not bad, but "one size for all" MUST tie to very certain scale, it may overproduce, but people will not accept deficit (this will lead to very huge negative information trail, which even Apple could not survive).

So, Apple solution MUST sell lower than it really cost and overproduced.

I hate to do a bit of snooping, but you list your birth year on your socials. We're of a pretty similar age; I also only got a smart phone in high school.

I really do think the expectations from your friends when you're in your early teens in the current year, is that you have a smart phone. It's probably a major part of social life now, which would leave a kid pretty excluded. Not even touching the things in life that REQUIRE a smart phone now. (Restaurant menus, transit, maps, etc)

Our childhood is pretty much gone from existence, despite how modern it feels. I feel for the GP author, best you can do is make things as protected as you can.

Why shouldn't Iceland be in control of fishing in own waters and instead expect it to give it up to the UK to come and take as it pleases? Using your navy to take other country's resources is basically a war crime.
The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han addresses this as well.
Yes. IPhones (and android too iirc) also have a robust screen time system we use for our kids. Problem is that Apple doesn't make it very easy to use if you're not familiar with tech... and I've seen several frustrating UX/sync bugs with it.

Consider doing a DS-flavoured degree, eg at Master's level, part-time? Maybe do something more mundane part time to pay for it?

Thank you for these detailed recommendations! I've set a calendar alert to check back then!
yes, accomplishes the same if you approach it that way
Yes thanks, I was a kid in the 80s and almost forgot how bad it was. Having a technology prototyped in some research institute indeed means nothing if you can't produce it without the product immediately falling apart in consumers' hands (in the best case).

Still, by the second half of 80s home computers were more or less available. IIRC a BK-0010 or Mikrosha were around 500-600 rubles, about three monthly salaries of a senior engineer, a lot of people had them, including my family and my uncles/grandparents. And there was a substantial "ecosystem" of a sort around them. Regarding the PCs and workstations, my grandfather, a mechanical engineer (not related to computers in any way), looked for the 1840 in particular (he had some ideas that never worked out) and was able to get it at home by finding the right people, for 1/3 the official price. Which was a lot.

I'd still argue that Lysenkoism can't be compared to the cybernetics panic. The former was an actual attempt to bend the science, the latter was more or less a nothingburger caused by some party cogs freaking out at the suggestion that a PID loop can explain (or Engels forbid, control) the politics. Although they seem to think otherwise in Czechia: apparently that moral panic rippled through the entire Eastern Bloc, and for example forced Antonin Svoboda [1] to leave the country.

> Isn't that like 80 apartments?

That's the size of the entire property, so (depending on what you build / how high) ~28.000 m² of resulting space or about 450-ish 60 m² apartments), so enough living space for 1000-1500 people.

> You'd need 10s of thousands of new units to bring down prices materially.

Agreed, but building hotels that are only fully occupied once every year for Oktoberfest and once every three years for Bauma is a waste of highly valuable real estate.

Munich has about 94k hotel beds in total [1], and less than 10k homeless [2]. Close the hotels, give the place to those who actually need it.
