Sorry, I didn’t mean to say it’s exclusively women. Just that it’s almost all women, for thousands of years. Absolutely men feel self conscious, have body norms (which I violate most of!), and do things to themselves to make themselves feel more comfortable. But it’s a matter of extremes, pervasiveness, and actual material consequences for not following the norm. As a man I can get by with an awful lot and society won’t judge me harshly. Women that don’t constantly conform and change themselves are treated very harshly at work, at school, in public, and even in their own home. I mean, surely this is apparent?

I worked for a major cosmetics company. They made billions in profit selling goop in a jar to women. They struggled to introduce men’s lines (soap? Shaving supplies? Cologne?). That’s a gender issue - why is it so important to scorch your skin and make yourself look like a clown by painting color all of your face? It isn’t due to convenience, and it’s is absolutely a gender aligned thing.
I've been dealing with this a lot recently and seems to be a generational difference. Surprisingly close age wise with completely different responses.

Anecdotally, people ~40+ do take it personally as parent comment mentioned. It's a "your time is more important than mine" feeling by putting the onus on them. Around ~40% of the time, more senior people have ignored a booking link, and responded with times that work for them, requiring additional messages to confirm everything.

People under ~40 almost always use the link without issue, and usually send a confirmation email or message. People <30 don't respond to the message, just book and I assume we're good to go.

Now I use a "Let me know if there's a good time for you. Otherwise, here are 3 slots and my booking link" message.

Even had to make a Google Sheets app script to list my open 1.5+hr slots for the next 3 weeks to help with pre-populating that.
Indeed, one would expect it to be 1000 times bigger than pico. At 3 MB that's even plausible...
> We do know that stricter sentencing doesn't work

"Doesn't work" in what sense? In a rehabilitative sense? Is everyone in agreement that this is its intended purpose? Also: for what types of crimes?

Kind of hard to believe really, you think the Code of Hammurabi didn't work?

> The chief problem is here is asserting healthcare must be either entirely Medicare For All or the current inadequate privately funded system when the two can coexist

I'm certainly not asserting that. However, first of all, 'Medicare For All' only makes sense if it's mandatory, which means additional taxes. Yes, considering the social, political, and economic reality, the likeliest outcome would be a two-tier system, with those who can afford it getting additional insurance in some way. I'm not sure what's so great about that?

> And sure, a more transparent private system could work,
> experiment yet good luck with that in the current media/political environment. Not giving either party a break here

Would passing an extended ACA II with way fewer compromises and more effective regulation than the Obamacare version be really harder than instituting Medicare for All (so either a significant increase in federal income tax or a new tax altogether)?

It totally depends on what IoT and what purpose, for example:

IIoT/PLC/industrial automation: most likely you will have to use vendors software, most if the time it’s crap, and a mix of several tech stacks like MSSQL/C#/C++

Sensors and such: depends on what are you building or using the sensors: the protocol mostly is MQTT, and if you would store it in a db postrrsql, elasticsearch, surreldb, influxdb among the most I used.

Robots/drones: on what I build, I use protobuf/grpc for performance and cross-language and direct linux socket io, and where needed websocket but mostly for any web interaction rather than the protocol itself. The tech stack for those, the embedded side is up to you or sometimes based on the sdk you are dealing with, the backend/frontend however, I used to use go/nodejs and for frontend svelte or a simple js library/framework, but recently I’m shifting and redoing everything in rust, embedded, backend and frontend (using something like egui https://github.com/emilk/egui).

When it comes to IoT, I try as much as possible to stay away from python unless you are scripting something else done in go/c++/rust, look at python as a glorified bash script, it’s useful for that or other data science work, but not in IoT.

Same goes with other tech you mentioned, it might suit one case but not another, for example, MQTT is good for sensor IoT type, but good luck controlling a drone with it, mongodb might be great to store a fleet of robots with its access credentials and such, but if you try to use it to store realtime data, it might not perform as expected, and so on.

Seems like counting your chickens before they hatched. He’s been in for days and he’s trying to replace a hyper-inflationary system. A few eggs will be cracked.

Not claiming this exact approach will go well in the long run, but if things are to be fixed politicians are going to need WIDE latitude. The Argentinian economy is so horribly distorted that any attempt to fix it will cause shocking effects.
I see responses saying that we need more housing, but does that really fix the problem? Landlords will keep buying up the available houses and renting them out as long as they can keep raising rents, which they can since... people can't afford to buy houses. It's not clear to me how building more houses changes anything.
That’s what alarms are for. You go back to sleep and your alarm will wake you up.

In my opinion it’s always worth trying to go back sleep if you’ve got an alarm.

Speaking for myself, there’s nothing worse for falling back asleep than looking at the time. When I wake at night and it’s dark, it might be 11pm, 2am, or 5am. I don’t want to know what time it is. I go back to sleep and unless it happens to actually be within minutes of my alarm, I’ll fall back asleep and never know what time it was.
I think about something like known ignorance. I know that I don't know anything about this thus I refuse to have any belief about what it might be as a I know any belief would be unwarranted.

Exactly the opposite
Sorry, how does attracting someone cool not mean doing it for the pleasure of the someone cool? That seems like exactly the reason they’re doing it. The attraction isn’t like magnetism, it’s not a physical force. It’s by creating pleasure in the opposite sex, creating an image that’s pleasing to them. So, yes, they in fact do do it for my pleasure. And I’m not saying that’s necessarily a wrong thing. I do things to attract people as well.

They also do it for their own - I’m not saying women don’t want to be more beautiful only for men’s pleasure.

But my point is, what a strange structure we have that half of the humans on earth feel profoundly and unshakably uncomfortable by being simply their selves without modifications? Like, literally can’t be seen in public without applying substances to their face to change how they look?

PAM does not preclude having everything secure instead of some sort of 'hardened' bastion and 'soft' destination.

Everything should be 'hardened'. This also means everything has to do proper authentication and authorisation, and skipping that step by letting some proxy do that just creates a bottleneck in security, reliability, availability, and performance.

It also doesn't really matter how it's done, a Kerberos Ticket, x509 client certificate, JWT or multiple credentials (i.e. username with a password and MFA token) are all plenty valid. Granted, a ticket, certificate or token allows shipping claims or attributes allows for directory-less access control, but that doesn't mean that having to do directory lookups is not feasible anymore.

Most of the other things like f5, pa, Citrix, powerbroker and bomgar are just really shoddy software that you setup to attempt to not have to bear responsibility or know what you're doing (or it's clipboard/checklist-based security...), but that just bypasses fulfilling the actual need of a good IAM and PAM implementation. None of those products do it better than what is natively supported, and they are consistently more problematic (be it performance, cost or actual security).
I would start with a familiar dataset and then see if you can prove your intuitions with the data. For example, if you use a smartwatch you can download your sleep data and check if it supports the hypothesis that during weekends you go to sleep later. Then, you can also look for other insights and then check if they are compatible with your prior hypothesis.

Not really. The east side of the area where I live is bounded by mountains, so can’t really expand more. To the southeast they are putting in thousands of starter homes. I’m not sure where the water is going to come from.

The problem is twofold - one issue is there is a lot of the real estate tied up being used only during the cold weather months from snowbirds. The population goes up by roughly a third then. The other issue is folks moving here from other states, primarily California. The influx has greatly exceeded the rate of new construction.

The principle of supply and demand doesn’t just magically turn off when talking about the price of housing. It’s very clear that there is a shortage of housing in places people actually want to live, and this is a huge driver in the price of housing in those areas increasing.
And the LibreTiny version of ESPHome supports the common WiFi microcontrollers that have been “replacing” the ESP range, that have been popping up in devices made by Tuya and the like such as

BK72xx: BK7231T, BK7231N
RTL87xx: RTL8710BN, RTL8710BX

https://esphome.io/components/libretiny.html

But yeah, using both Tasmota and ESPHome I’ve moved all (bar one) of my “WiFi Only” devices to being fully local devices.

(The exception being my thermostat for my heating, that uses a tuya-mcu and a LCD driver IC so I don’t really want to reflash that and faff with the tuya-mcu this side of winter, and I’m planning to replace it with a OpenTherm controller next year anyway. In the meantime I’m using a local tuya integration in HA to just send it commands directly)

Aquinas is transparently wrong.

> As the singular First Mover (§2), the BPA is the common source of all powers.

No. At best the BPA is the common source of all powers that actually exist. Some powers cannot exist because they are logically impossible, and acting against the predictions of an omniscience is, by the definition of omniscience, logically impossible. Nothing, not even God, can act against the predictions of an omniscience for the same reason that nothing, not even God, can create a four-sided triangle.
I'd guess that the size of a country's import/export economy is more important than the size of its total economy when it comes to how much a country will influence language in the rest of the world.

The elephant in the (property market) room is demographics

With populations declining for the first time in centuries, everywhere, over the next few years there will be a surplus not a shortage of houses.

Not much good for current twenty/thirty somethings, they have been royally screwed by the greed head baby boomers.

But it will cause all sorts of unpredictable things to happen in the property market

Because of the blindness of capitalism the property market is a big chunk of the economy

If you happen to be on macOS, the Preview app does an absurd number of things to PDFs, and it does it well. To be honest I'm always surprised it isn't highlighted more by Apple, it's a great tool that pretty much always just works. You can split files, join them, rotate, add signatures, drawings, annotations, redact sections, etc. The feature list is long, especially considering that by the name of the application you'd think it could just preview files, not edit them.

I was there and, no, it wasn’t. It’s true that it wasn’t universally accessible on day one but that actually makes the comparison even less favorable for NFTs because even with far lower barriers to entry they’ve had far lower adoption. Businesses got online because it was profitable within months, not decades!

Exactly. A car brought to the inspection by the dealership will basically never fail it. And expensive luxury cars are far more likely to be serviced by a dealer.

I don't think this is intentional, just a nice side effect. Mostly dealerships just make the most money by servicing cars.

What do you mean by "managed as NFTs"? A liquidity pool is a contract where people put their coins in and the contract gives them a percentage ownership of all assets in the contract and they get a small fee off the trades done in it. Are you saying that the proof of ownership is a non fungible token? That seems like a small technical detail, it's not the token that has value, it's the assets in the pool, you could easily do it with fungible tokens or with simply a record of ownership in the contract.

I don't think it's very hotly debated at all. There seems to be a consensus that whether they were right to be so concerned or not, Israel's motives in preempting Egypt were about security, not territorial expansion. Before the war, Egypt administered Gaza but did not claim it (Palestinians needed something like passports to transit between Gaza and Egypt proper). Jordan was almost kicked out of the Arab League for annexing the West Bank, which it claimed as territory until 1988(!).

There's no question that since the war, Israel has abused its position with respect to the West Bank in particular (it dispossessed Gazan settlers during the disengagement, but has tacitly allowed continued settlement in the West Bank). But the history here is complicated and it's important to get it right.
