Singapore is one of few countries where population aging not gonna be a problem anytime soon due to how many immigrants are working, live there or just want to move there to live.
This is one of those answers that applies nicely in an orderly, developed world where circumstances and legal structures are the same. In many places in the world (that also widely use email, mobile phones and all sorts of digital communications with all the problems being discussed in this thread), you would most definitely want your loved one to at least have the option of contacting you before they call the authorities. Surprisingly often, their emergency problem might even be caused by those same authorities.

Compliance. You think your IT dept wants to deploy this crap? How ever painful you think it is as an end user multiply it having to support hundreds/thousands of endpoints.

Look, I hate traffic inspection as much as the next person but this is for security, it's just not for the security you want it to be. This is so you have an audit trail of data exfiltration and there's no way around it. You need the plaintext to do this and the whole network stack is built around making this a huge giant pain in the ass. This is one situation where soulless enterprises and users should actually be aligned. Having the ability in your OS to inspect the plaintext traffic of all incoming and outgoing traffic by forcing apps off raw sockets would be a massive win. People. seem to understand how getting the plaintext for DNS requests is beneficial to the user but not HTTP for some reason.

Be happy your setup is at least opportunistic and not "block any traffic we can't get the plaintext for."
> It’s also a peak steady-state number, only achievable under optimal load conditions.

For base load generation at least, these run continuously under “optimal conditions”. The big ones are designed to be switched on and run for decades.

A turbine is a tuned system (its shape is designed for its operating conditions). For base load generation it’s important to fix those operating conditions thus getting the most output from the least input.

(This is quite different for a peaker plant that needs to spin up and down relatively wuickly in response to demand, much less, say, the turbine on an aircraft or locomotive, which go up and down depending on load. They can never be anywhere close to theoretical efficiency).

Just a long winded way of saying that “optimal load” is not as uncommon as one might think. Its no spherical cow.
> How on earth do you expect me to be able to "research a company" to be able to tell whether they're genuinely going to read a cover letter and care what it says?

I don't. That's not what I was talking about when researching a company. You can't (usually) know if a cover letter will be read or valued. But it might be, so it seems worth doing anyway just to gain that possible edge.
I think we should start talking about geoengineering again. It seems clear that the pace of what we are doing will not be sufficient to avert a disaster at this point. I think there are enormous risks involved with, say, stratospheric aerosol release, but the status quo seems even worse at the moment.

> Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I understand, passively listening on DHT would only mean you build up a list of infohashes of everything shared on BitTorrent. You'd actually have to reach out to your DHT peers to know what files the infohashes actually represents.

Yes, you're correct! I should have stated that, you still need to resolve the metadata from the peers that have the infohashed files hosted. That's a separate operation from downloading the file's content.
My headphones are fine, and the battery doesn't drop out either -- this 3.5mm cable is great.
It's a social contagion thing. A place or country that has never had such a thing happen might well go for decades with it continuing to "not happen". But if it starts happening, you get copy cat crimes. People who were apparently too dim to think it up on their own are inspired by the first criminal act, and repeat it. These secondary acts inspire yet more of the same. If the rate gets high enough (likely passed that threshold decades ago), it becomes self-sustaining.

It might even be how some riots boil up out of nowhere. Tends to happen alot with teen suicides too.
I don't think it's "Gun prevalence" per say.

Decades ago, guns were even allowed in schools. As in, students could bring a gun to keep in their vehicle or even sometimes locker for use in after school activities like a hunters safety course, or various competitive shooting leagues.
The proper term here would be a negligent discharge. Nobody ever accidentally fired a gun. They either meant to or they were handling it in a negligent manner. The general lack of training and professionalism with American police is appalling. They rarely get sufficient range time to be proficient with their weapon. let alone stress inoculation so they can perform when the time comes.

Not to detract from raincole's point, and this is not relevant at all to their problem, but just a general reminder that in many ways Krita is not a direct competitor to Photoshop unless you're using Photoshop as a digital painting tool -- and if you are, I would argue that Krita is arguably a better product in multiple ways.

I think that Photoshop is an image manipulator first and foremost, and Krita is a tool for drawing/painting and maybe doing some light traditional animation (although even that is not its primary focus).

I think that CSP, Procreate, etc... are more direct competitors to Krita. Photoshop is a competitor to Gimp.

Again, does not change anything about raincole's comment, and I don't think that raincole was suggesting that they were direct competitors. It's just that whenever Photosohp and Krita get mentioned in the same sentence I feel like the assumption from many readers is that they're trying to do the same things, and I would personally say that I think they're separate categories of software. There are things that Photosohp does that Krita doesn't want to do and will probably never support, because it's a painting app, not an image manipulation app.
Please calm down and research deeper everything you said, for the preparation and thus wellbeing of yourself and your loved ones. I have no incentive to tell anyone that actual Collapse is the civilization is going on since 1971 (the first year Earth Overshoot Day happened) and will accelerate very soon in the future to cause billions of deaths.

Or maybe just look up Earth Overshoot Day. The Collapse is as inevitable as it gets.

Base 60 was the number system for the Sumarians/Babylonians.

> Sexagesimal, also known as base 60 or sexagenary, is a numeral system with sixty as its base. It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates.

They are irrevocable, but they also disallow commercial redistribution of modified copies - in perpetuity.

This means that when the original vendor changes new versions of the software to a draconic proprietary license (as is their right as the full owner of the copyright), the community can't fork an older version and keep it up to date and distribute that; they can just use older versions until they become obsolete, incompatible, accumulate security holes etc. They are locked in to the vendor is they need those same features going forward.

There is an anger in the US that a lot of people don't understand, including most Americans (and myself). It is very, very multifaceted. There is no single cause. Everything from politics to car culture and the way our cities are designed promote a strange kind of anger. When I travel abroad, I don't see this… like, hardly at all.

> They just can't come out and say it openly - but the corporatization of the American academic system has resulted in a new primary goal for academic institutions: the generation of revenue streams. A secondary but closely related goal is to not damage any existing revenue streams (by, for example, demonstrating some negative side effects of a newly patented and lucrative drug / technology / etc.).

Then add to that the fact that much of their revenue comes from government funding, and you have a really toxic mix.
I don't know anybody who implicitly assumes that the I in AI is a comparison, people around me understand it as a term for a set of traits, regardless of the level of performance. That's how the term AGI came to be, to distinguish between "intelligent but not necessarily like a human" (AI) and "generally intelligent [like a human]" (AGI).

Do you also think that "intelligent alien life in space" means comparable to humans? What if we find something capable of reasoning, abstract thinking, rationality, adaptibility, etc - but much, much dumber than humans? That's intelligence, comparison to humans doesn't change anything about that.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence - how could there be animal intelligence if "intelligence" means comparable to humans? "Crows are intelligent but nowhere near human-level" - this statement wouldn't make any sense if you're right, but it actually does make sense, IMHO.

> There's a reason AI is moving farther and farther away and we're creating new, finer, terms like ML, shape recognition, etc.

That thing with AI is called moving goalposts. And the finer terms - yeah of course we need to be able to be specific about our software, doesn't mean that's not AI. We talked about shape recognition in neuropsychology for much longer than in AI, same for many more terms that will certainly be reused soon.
Fair enough, I may have seen implications that weren't there. So, I'm sorry.

Culture of free thinking? Socrates, the most iconic free thinker of all time was forced to commit suicide by the greeks. So much for a culture of free thinking.

> They also sentenced some of their free thinkers to death for not worshipping the gods but that’s a separate issue.

It isn't. It directly contradicts and refutes your assertion.
> It won't. The only real workaround right now is to simultaneously launch SaaS alongside the FOSS project and monetize that heavily.

It can work. Paying for software is already a normal part of doing business, make this work to your advantage. For example:

- In the budgeting process just add a line item for the FOSS software you're using and put a number on it that's lower than the proprietary alternative.
- If you're already using the software (like Krita in this case), tell whoever is in charge of the purse strings how much time, effort, and money the software has saved the company and ask them to make a one-off or recurring payment to the project that's lower than the alternative. You'll be surprised how often they say yes (as long as they can get a receipt)
Instagram might be large enough of an organization that it can both cooperate with law enforcement investigators and handle press inquiries from journalists. And if they weren't large enough, hopefully their legal team is competent enough to direct the employs to attend to law enforcement first, everyone else second.
On average cop training with firearms in the US is quite minimal. Most cops are extremely bad shots when intentionally firing their guns.

There's a long, long history of cops negligently firing their guns, even after gun safety tech progressed to the point where true accidental discharges are neigh impossible. It's always negligence now.

"Glock leg" was a common trope among cops, because so many of them were shooting themselves in the leg. They sued both Glock and Sig multiple times because cops were convinced it must be the guns fault. Spoiler alert, it wasn't (well, some hand waving on a certain sig issue, but glocks are impossible to fire without pulling the trigger).

I shoot competitive 3p rifle, and the closest range to me is a cop range. I've seen cops struggle for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to put their targets up. We have rules against drawing from holsters because cops have shot themselves in the leg so frequently (though the cops are still required to do it for testing lol). I've seen cops shooting rifles at the pistol range, which destroys the backstop. I've seen cops shoot at targets on the wrong range.
Like literally other people's targets, up in the air, from a different range. In the direction of an interstate freeway, at an upwards angle. I've seen cops (with aforementioned rifles) shoot groups at 50 yards while rested on a bench that are straight up worse than what I can do at 200 yards while standing up. (For an average non-olympic-tier competitor, you'd expect 200 yard standing groups to be 4-5x larger than 200 yard bench groups, and closer to 20x+ larger than 50yd bench groups).

The average cop doesn't know shit about guns, and doesn't care. And largely that would be fine because most cops will never draw their guns in the blind of duty. Unfortunately we've built up a law enforcement ethos in the US where every cop must be armed even though they really shouldn't have to be.
"Why" is important. On the surface, sure, we all get jobs because we need the income. But why are you applying to that particular company over others?

It's important information because if you have two candidates that are otherwise equal, and one applied to the position just because it's a job they qualify for but the other applied to the position because they're excited by the work or company, you'll go with the second one every time. Everyone will be happier for it.

My microwave is less than 2 feet from my wifi router :D (but yeah, mostly use 5GHz channels for wifi)

I have no issue listening to podcasts in the kitchen while the microwave is running. I'm using Logitech H800 headphones (modified with wires going to my hearing aids).

If I put my phone in my GE microwave, I have sound breakup issues within 2-3 feet away from the microwave. Sounds like it's better "shielded" than some others mentioned here.

> If not, you can easily spin up 1000+ nodes and connect to your torrent. Tada fake popularity. If bandwidth is known, then you simply raise your costs a bit by running fake clients.

Sure, but like the other commenter said, this has been possible for years, and yet public trackers aren't swamped with fake torrents. I think in all my years of using BitTorrent I've only ever found a single fake torrent, where the content was inside an encrypted RAR with no key (obviously there was no way to know it was encrypted ahead of time).

This graphic of photovoltaic cell efficiency (non-thermo) is super interesting: it shows the progression from 1976 and current capabilities (and not necessarily commercially viable or available). The panels you'll get for your home are probably around 20% efficient in ideal conditions.
The Moral Case for No Longer Engaging with Elon Musk’s X
It's often >90 degrees Fahrenheit at night in for months on end where I live, and houses are built cheaply and in a style completely unfitting a hot climate (that is, thin walls, dark roofs, fully aboveground, thoughtless window placement, etc. Standard American Dumbass style). It's unhealthy to sleep in these conditions without AC, even fatal for some.

So yes, we could survive without power at night. We just have to rebuild every building.

As a long-term ideal I don't disagree with you. We should be building for resilience. But that's not a solution to climate change.

When I was a school-aged child in the 80s and 90s here in Canada, we used to get routinely evacuated because people would "phone in" bomb threats.

"Swatting" to me just seems like a nuanced evolution of that same phenomenon. Only I thought it was that targets were now peoples' homes and the Internet has made it so that targets and perpetrators could be much farther apart from each other.

Other than that, given that "reporting a false threat against a school in order to trigger a response" was happening when I was in school 30+ years ago, I can't help but wonder "what's the 'news'?"
This is a mostly solved problem when it comes to the internet. We've figured out how to legitimately have an arbitrary number of computers appear as one single domain online and do so in a way that can be trusted. The issue with phones is a case of outdated technology and infrastructure.

Is the interference from leaking microwaves themselves or resonant leakage from the magnetron and/or support circuitry which is desired to be as cheap as possible?

Also you can’t really see the cage: that mesh you see in the window is indeed designed to block emission, but in a cheap one you can often see a gap between the mesh and the bezel, and of course the shell is a cheaply assembled rectangle without tight corner fittings so is probably leaking a small amount here, especially at the back, where they assume a wall will catch any leaks.

Yeah, that too. Basically incomplete. When you have something critical that you use and depend on, you can't have that kind of stuff.
I haven't watched recently but at least in the USA, local news is always a parade of crimes, accidents and fires with sports and weather to round out the 22 minute run time, but as you write, climate change was non existent since it's hard to adapt to the few minutes of video and sentences each story got. One would get the impression that there is a lot of crime and fires in the local area from the sampling bias, and my understanding is this where a large percentage of old people and less educated get their news so it sort of reinforces a lack of urgency to these people about climate change.
The "problem" is that most users aren't crawling the DHT to find torrents, right now. The more people start using DHT crawlers as their primary way of finding new torrents, the more incentive there is to spam the DHT with junk, malware, etc. (because there will be more eyeballs on it)

That is, the usefulness of DHT crawling is inversely proportional to how many people are doing it.
Yeah, this is for sure a thing. I left a startup last year due to Product, UX, and CTO insisting that "everything is already figured out, just do it quickly" and then spoon feeding JIRA tickets to my team.
