You can also go the other way. There's always going to be the possibility of a chicken/egg type question, but it seems clear that a lot of the insanity and division started to happen about the time people started trying to control (and started caring so much about) what other people say and think. It just feels like there was this sudden flip of a switch where suddenly there was this idea that if you control 'the message', you can control what people think, and a certain group of people vigorously pursued this.

It's not hard to see how this is going to drive people into deeply divided groups. You immediately end up with an in-group and an out-group, both with good reason to avoid the other. And then in this division, both groups characterization of the other drifts further and further from reality, further cementing such divisions. This site [1] demonstrating the scale of the perception gap among various groups is quite telling. I don't think it was like this, at all, not that long ago.

regarding the price, it is possible to replicate a third-party solution for a cheaper phone but with some compromise.

The author did a lot of work and analysis to build this. This is not easy to do and I've found that people doing anything with books are doing it for passion, not money.

Background: I run hackernewsbooks.com, and the only thing affiliate revenue covers is the hosting and mailing list costs (~$50 a month). It is a fun project I bought from the original owner to learn (and because I loved the idea). I want to add more visuals and unique navigation to it. I also run Shepherd.com, which is a much larger book website and we are not covering our costs yet, it is a struggle.

There's absolutely _no_ good reason to do that if you're only facing the internet with a single IP on your router as a NAT gateway, except to make your life hell. Only thing that may be worth doing is parting ways with the one internet-facing IPv4 and relying solely on IPv6 there, but that's mostly up to your ISP and their own infrastructure. Even if you were to 100% NAT your IPv4 LAN to IPv6 WAN, and your ISP still dedicated your router a public IPv4, it'd benefit no one.
We need efficiency when we want to maximize comfort and minimize labor.

But nothing forbids people to pursue less efficient endeavors during their free time. There are people maintaining old cars and locomotive. There are people gardening or woodworking "inefficiently" for their own pleasure.

What we remove is the need to force people to work on these fields. Whether we abandon them altogether depends solely on our culture.

No it’s not just health insurance to blame
Doctors and nurses (who are very expensive) cost money as well as the drugs and the research costs behind them.
I know Bernie and socialists love to blame health insurance, but doctors, nurses, hospital staff and drug companies would still cost money. See how much NHS costs are in Britain..yes they maybe lower per capita than in the US, but still HUGE
Let's say it's probably a more likely outcome than a police officer on patrol wiffing a smell looking the other way.

I love this advice. I think more people need to focus on personal capital and not just career.

One of the traps I think this falls into is "I can either work on my career or be adventurous". I consider myself a "work to live" kind of person but still fall into this trap myself.

I believe you can do both, it just takes a lot of effort, planning, and patience (more than a lot of people are willing to put in) to make it work.
Desalination plants are only that cheap at scale, if you’re in a costal city then raising water 300 feet isn’t a big deal. If you’re in a small community in a low density area or a large one 6,000 feet and hundreds of miles above sea level the math looks very different.

There's a right to quote copyright-protected works https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__51.html ( EDIT: in English: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_urhg/englisch_ur... ) which often boils down to the same thing, even though it's not literally called "fair use".
AI is not here to dumb down anything but automate tasks and find and reveal complexity esp hidden complexity. Humans are limited by their short and long term memory and bandwidth esp in modern digital environment.

I would still rate opportunity gap as higher priority over understanding complexity. its still funny when people try to be digital nomads just to discover geopolitics or time zones
from all the discussions on fp5 here, i can definitely say that they are catering to a very tough crowd.

it is a shame that they still don't seem to have found a rythmn in long-term hardware support after all these years.

given how fast the rest of industry moves between the infrequent releases, each new model ends up being so different from the previous one. so it is hard to see a future where they can reuse older parts and hence be more likely to sell them for longer.

i had a laptop that was easy to repair, but i could not find its replacement battery within two years of its release, which defeated the purpose of having that ability. if existing userbase are having trust issues with fairphone's parts supply long-term, it will be a hard sell for many who can put up with the phone's tradeoffs in the name of repairability.

i do hope for their success so that at least third parties can support the phone for the near future. maybe it will be there for my next-to-next upgrade.

I normally heard "nobody regrets not working more" in the context of work that has bad or no ROI.

For example, lots of people work themselves to burnout by not taking all their vacations, returning to work very soon after their child is born out of fear of falling behind, working extra late or weekends from peer pressure from their boss/peers, etc. Most of which won't result in additional pay, promotion, and might not even help advance your career.

There's this other addage I heard that I quite like:

"Work harder on yourself than at your job. Invest in yourself, not in your job."

The idea is, don't spend your energy on your current job stupidly, instead spend that effort trying to find a better job, or learning skills that are more valuable, in keeping yourself relevant, etc.

I feel taken together, it forms the basis of how to balance work/life so that work can build up to a good retirement, allowing you to enjoy life in your later years, but also making time in the present to enjoy life in your current and younger years.

The EU limits the processing fee to 0.2% of transactions, which solves a lot of the problems with taking cards as a store. Why can't the US? The only downside is less benefits on your credit card because you didn't indirectly pay that 2.8% extra on everything you buy
> Why would you raise prices after? That would just invite competition again. Keep the prices low and competitors away.

The assumption of predatory pricing is that it's not easy for a competitor to just show up. Supply chains would be destroyed, capital equipment scrapped, etc and replacing them would be time consuming and expensive.

Sometimes that's a reasonable assumption to make, sometimes it's not. Even if the assumptions are unreasonable, many CEOs won't let mere reason stand in their way.

> Maybe raise them to at-cost, but if your Widgets can comfortably cover the cost, then there is no reason to raise prices.

So, the Widget-making capital would just sit there producing 0 ROI? Someone's gonna object to that. A company pursues market dominance to make money.
The variants in ClinVar will have genomic coordinates associated with them, each given with respect to a particular reference genome, e.g.

GRCh38 - chr2:41785474-41785474

or something like that.

You will need to align your FASTQ to one of these reference genomes using a short-read aligner such as BWA-MEM (assuming your genome was sequenced using something like Illumina NGS) to produce a BAM (binary alignment map) file, and then from there use a variant calling tool such as GATK's HaplotypeCaller or Google's DeepVariant to produce a VCF (variant call format) file, which will contain the mutations in your genome. Then you can see if any of the mutations found in your genome match those in ClinVar.

As humans are diploid, you will also need to be cognizant of the zygosity of each mutation, i.e., whether you have a particular mutation on just one of your two chromosomal homologs (heterozygote) or both (homozygous mutant), as this may affect whether or not the mutation is of concern, the variant caller will attempt to determine this for you and report it in the VCF file.
The workflow thing is why the usual advice with JIRA is to keep to Atlassian-supplied workflows instead of developing your own.

The custom workflows are often mandated by clueless managers, and often even if you have clueful JIRA admin they will silently try to fix manager's dumb idea instead of having the manager eat the turd sandwich.

Once, a coworker of mine decided that enough is enough, and decided to implement a workflow exactly as specified by management.

After week or two of totally lost productivity and reporting, system-supplied workflow was returned to and the manager never again tried to play with workflows.
Regarding resilience, and no need for electricity, and network:

In Hungary currently it is mandatory to use networked cash registers for cash transactions and centralized digital reporting system for issuing invoices. There are some minor exemptions, for farmer's markets and some similar specific niche very low volume cash transactions.

I know about no disaster protocols. (though the Hungarian mindset wouldn't give a damn about law forbidding sales without digital invoice in case of a slightly sustained emergency situation, possibly an outage longer than a day.)

So basically even with cash you might need electricity. (until nobody starts to give a damn)

I support using cash, for the several reasons outlined in the comments and the article. Yet I think when the trust in government/public services starts to break down (as ignoring laws banning non digitally accounted transactions), the trust in cash might also start to break down (though it takes longer imo)
As a teenager I found this exact same ad in a Star Trek novel from the library.
My first naive impression with these black bars was exactly as you said, that the original text is "under" them and just stuff incidentally referring to soup was left visible. "Look how clever we are, changing a replicator scene to a noodle-soup scene with just a bit of tweaking".

But it wasn't, of course. Its just a way to make you read it because you think its somehow still part of the novel. After the ad, the whole page starts again with its real (and completely different) content.

Up until, say, 2005 they were pretty similar to current Jaycar but, I think perhaps after an acquisition, they started selling branded audio/computers etc and the geeky stuff gradually became less prominent. At some point they got bought by Australian Woolworths. The shops began to look more like mainstream "electronics" shops than Jaycar does now. Then the whole lot came tumbling down. The DS name and domain got sold off to a third party but the bricks and mortar just disappeared.

When they went down the gurgler all the outstanding gift cards went with them (at least in NZ, Ozzie might have had better legislation), worth remembering that a branded gift card is an unsecured loan.

You’re not alone. I just paid for something that added a 3% convenience fee for paying with a card. I don’t see it frequently but the behavior is out there.

Otherwise I think the incentive point is exactly right. My town allows you to pay for parking with a mobile app and CC. I’m sometimes charging a dollar total to the card for parking. Not much left for the town after the fees. But I always have my phone and can pay vs carrying cash or coins to pay.

My guess is the town makes more overall in parking fees because of that app

I think this is a cool idea and well done. I've thought about it myself a few times over the decade that I've been listening to podcasts.

Oh geez, 6840 kWh. At 0.10 $/kWh that is ~700 $. Added onto the 480 $ that would increase the costs to nearly 8% of the US budget. If it takes a 8% increase in the government budget, I prefer dying of starvation and thirst, said nobody ever.

I am being a little flippant here. Transitioning to a desalinated water economy is a gigantic megaproject. I am not including the costs needed to add all the transport infrastructure, but we also do not need to convert over 100%. We only need desalination where we are consuming water in excess of water renewal rates. And if you need excess water you will need to move your business to where water resources are cheap. That or your business and people die of no water. I know what I prefer. Luckily, highly productive farmland which consumes the vast majority of the water is generally on flat, low elevation ground where transport costs will be low.

Desalination is a viable solution. Are there challenges? Sure. Can you do it without any sacrifices and without changing your lifestyle at all? Probably not. But if your alternative is insufficient freshwater resources desalination can solve that economically at scale at a modest cost and with relatively minor sacrifices.

Does this idea work at all though? Like for one, did peasants ever in history actually have crossbows and if they did, did it ever actually help them? Like to me the crossbow sounds like an expensive weapon that would likely be issued to soldiers in an army and the idea that a peasant would have one of their own seems unlikely. I don't know the history but it just doesn't sound right at all to me. Also the closest modern analogy I guess is America where everyone has a gun and the idea that those guns actually pose a threat to the US government or the hegemony of large corporations is... fanciful. The practical effect is inner city gun violence and school shootings, not some balancing effect against corporate greed.

I'm just saying... if the analogy you're using to justify your position seems to be entirely wrong doesn't that kind of undermine your position? It's not obvious to me that "peasants with crossbows" is helping here.
Just a massive pity that they rarely thought of writing down any of the original stories or histories from the culture's they were pushing Christianity onto.

I find now even in the office, people are so busy switching between being glued to their Slack or or video chat, then switching back to work, that it is harder to walk up to people and interrupt them casually. So I don't feel the quick bounce of an idea off someone is as smooth as it used to be, in my case, where my workplace has one thousand slack channels going all day. Also we don't have telephones, which I believe makes communication harder.
