Sure, but it's much harder to hide your laptop screen under the covers at 2am, back to spouse, shielding the light, keeping your secret safe. Plus, a screen tap is much quieter than a laptop k/m.

> especially since Canada has a lot more land than the US per capita.

Unless you want to live off by yourself in the isolated tundra, the land anywhere close to civilization is highly sought after farmland. Farmland values is the even more interesting story in Canada, having increased at a rate eclipsing the growth in housing prices over the past 15 years or so. Cities have become so expensive largely because sprawling out into that farmland has become so much more expensive as compared to the historical norm.
Ok you got me. I meant in the last few hundred million years it has been way hotter than today. Life existed and thrived back then as well. We are coming out of an ice age and temperatures must necessarily increase as a result, regardless of any presumed impact humans have on that process. This may be interfering with estimations of the impact of CO2 on our atmosphere. I'm not claiming to be an expert on this but I am skeptical of people who claim to be experts on this, as alarmism inherently boosts their careers.
I use Zotero with a bunch of useful Addons. Currently, scite is best available tool for research papers (at least in my field).
I was laid off in January due to my job being outsourced overseas after I built the product. My job search has been terrible. Unfortunately my network is very small since I was in my first job after switching from a previous career in accounting. It feels crazy being able to provide results but not have any options. The market is incredibly conservative.

I’ve ended up deciding to attend recurse center in the meantime and see where things are in a few months.
i’m not saying I agree or care about any of it. A sane company would never allow the use of source code from a third party without a license.

If repo is forked and the license is deleted the source code would need to be hashed to verify its the exact version of an open source repo. Mainly they don’t want copyleft or “malcious” license infecting their IP

If the hashes don’t match then it’s not technically the same code, so a company can’t safely use it without a license.
Bingo. It’s the “platform-corporation” playbook only at 10x the speed.

The only way to curb real estate speculation is to make the investment much less attractive. Do this by building like mad, cut down trees and get it done. If you don't like cutting down trees, you don't like immigration.
We have a budgie (parakeet, a very small bird) that is obsessed with phones. Honestly anything reflective gets him going, but if you even reach for your pocket to pull your phone out he flies to you.

He just flirts with the phone and I haven't seen him try to use it. But if we put a picture of another budgie on the screen he will give it a gentle kiss. He's not as smart as some of these big birds, but there's a lot more depth than I would have ever expected. He has different phrases he uses for different people, and even a set that he exclusively says to videos of himself on an iPhone.
People always said that the model for making money off open source is support - some company uses e.g. Postgres and they require specialists to help them out and put out fires in their on-prem setup.

But in the age of the "Cloud" companies will simply use the managed offering provided by Amazon/MS/Google/etc. basically destroying any financial opportunities for the maintainers and other people around the project. Also nobody wants to work their ass off on some OSS just to see AWS raking in milions off it without contributing back anything.
The fact that Israel carried out an intimidation campaign against Iraqi Jews to force them to immigrate is pretty much a mainstream historical discourse.[1]

>Japan cannot get involved unless the US is directly attacked, their constitution and laws governing use of the JSDF are very explicit in forbidding any use other than defending themselves or the US.

Japan can change this on a whim with one meeting of the legislature. You think Japan can't change its own laws?

>If (when?) Taiwan gets China'd, that by itself cannot serve as a casus belli for Japan.

Wrong. I don't know that they would, but Taiwan is a huge trading partner and great friend of Japan, in fact Japan's closest friend in the whole region. It's quite conceivable that Japan would get involved.

Or maybe you value the consistency of full enrollment that comes with a waitlist over the additional revenue you could earn with higher prices. Could be the case if there are high costs to changing the size of the business.

Vector graphics can absolutely require specialized editors to be built. SVG editors are an example of this.
What I find concerning is most people here would have seen expanded seams on a phone or laptop and known about the "puffy" battery within.

The rate of proliferation of gadgets with such batteries is crazy. So much of society already has so many of these little flashpoints in phones, tablets, toothbrushes, kids toys (electric scooter anyone?) - statistically your concerns are already valid without anyone being an electronics hobbyist.
> Do this by building like mad

By whom? Things aren't quite so bad now that higher interest rates has scared many people away from building, but prior to that contractors were booked up years in advance. There was nobody else to build more than what we were already building.

Sure, the old adage of "just pay the workers more" might work to attract more workers into home construction, but then the cost of housing needs to go up to pay them...
This unthinking encoding of thresholds feels like a 'Systems' problem that percolates into almost every part of life, whether its income brackets or hard limits on how many books you can borrow from the library. Some make more sense than others, just out of the sheer complexity and cost of implementing continuous (e.g. tapering) systems in the real world.

A particularly troublesome example I encountered, entirely unrelated to finance, was when working on a renal ward in hospital, we had to count respiration rate and input it into the obs machine, but if you inputted over 16, it would increase their sepsis score (or "acute deterioration"), meaning there'd be additional work to be done. It was rarely the case that they were actually producing symptoms of sepsis, but because of the hard threshold, to my horror, nurses would often just enter 16 on the mark, and juniors like me were told to do the same.

I'm sure there are literally tonnes of examples of these discontinuities and the bad incentives they produce across every industry and government function. In addition to laziness and inertia, I feel a general problem is that lack of curve/distribution/continuous-thinking in our schooling, as opposed to the easier discrete thinking.

All systems are fundamentally analog in nature. If only we just taught things this way...
That’s not honest at all. That’s just a different set of talking points.

Recall, it takes years to build these fabs. Fortunately, people will be more likely to spend years in grad school training for these jobs, if they know that when they graduate there will be fabs to hire them.

Rebuilding is a chicken and egg problem, but it’s not as hard as defeating the axis powers in WWII. If this country has the Will to do something, it’s gunna get done.
> I do not think this risk is large. But I do think it is a real risk that a cautious Linux distro can reasonably be worried about.

The 2nd or 3rd most commercially important Linux distro has been using ZFS since 2016.

> If you truly believe that Oracle's lack of action thus far against ZFS on Linux and their public statements of their beliefs about the effects of the CDDL and GPL would prevent them from starting shit

I understand the argument "Oracle might do something", plus spooky magic fingers and creepy noises, all too well. Except it's not actually an argument. It might be best described as a boogeyman, sent to frighten little children into not running ZFS.

My point was: I think it's time for you to get over sleeping with the light on.

According to Wikipedia [0]:

> The Kurdish language was banned in a large portion of Kurdistan for some time. After the 1980 Turkish coup d'état until 1991 the use of the Kurdish language was illegal in Turkey.[52]

> Before August 2002, the Turkish government placed severe restrictions on the use of Kurdish, prohibiting the language in education and broadcast media.[55][56] In March 2006, Turkey allowed private television channels to begin airing programming in Kurdish. However, the Turkish government said that they must avoid showing children's cartoons, or educational programs that teach Kurdish, and could broadcast only for 45 minutes a day or four hours a week

It is true that over the last 20 years or so, the Turkish government has relaxed many (but not all) of its anti-Kurdish laws and policies. But that doesn't erase the reality of the decades of oppression which proceeded it.

I just started learning FreeCAD version 0.21 and finding it tough slugging. And no wonder, I supposed. FreeCAD folks and the Ondsel polls have acknowledged that UI is a weakness. But thanks to the excellent MangoJelly tutorials [0] on YouTube, I feel like things are finally starting to soak in. And in watching those tutorials, I've come to realize just how powerful FreeCAD is. The 0.22 release will be a big step up and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm hopeful that with the renewed focus in the project that it becomes the next Blender or the next KiCAD: an open source tool that can hold its own against current commercial offerings. Go FreeCAD Go!

> The group is also culturally diverse. Six of the eight authors were born outside the United States; the other two are children of two green-card-carrying Germans who were temporarily in California and a first-generation American whose family had fled persecution, respectively.

As much as I think the America has lot of things it needs to fix, there is no other country on earth this would be possible. That's just a fact.

Some, but not all. For example, "Call a white potion:" or "Call a scroll labeled VE FORBRYDERNE:" prompts. These often appear after observing an effect where an experienced player or one consulting spoilers knows what the potion or scroll must be, but the game didn't auto-ID it.

Can you point to a study showing that Neuralink has achieved any of those things you mentioned? What evidence is there that the implants have reduced scar tissue formation and what supports the assertion that they would be usable for years? What other previous devices are you comparing it to that allows you to positively assert that it is better than them?

You can not just reel off every bullet point on the marketing slides without support as if it is the truth.

Adaptation is just another word for "complexity breeds complexity," which is just more words for "entropy," which is just another description of all fading to static white noise background radiation, until it all fades into the heat death of the universe.

The question is whether you choose to resist entropy and slow down, or embrace entropy and burn bright.

Whichever path you choose, make the most of it my friends!
Yes, for example no limit Rock Paper Scissors where you bet an arbitrary amount and your opponent might call or fold is a game that:

1)has infinitely many legal states/positions

2)imperfect information (another argument often used to argue that game is more complex)

And is:

3)dead simple to play optimally

It's also easy to design a board game with arbitrary number of legal positions that is dead simple to play optimally.
I like Fdroid because it automatically compiles from source and does vulnerability scanner. Its not a safe practice to download random binary blobs from github. Its a shame it looks like a nice implementation but I will have to give it a pass.
that's assisted brakes.

<thing>-by-wire means there is a control with no physical connection to <thing>.

for example, older tesla cars can steer themselves, but the steering wheel still connects to the front wheels mechanically.

The newer cybertruck has a steer-by-wire. The wheels are turned side to side by motors, but the steering wheel is not mechanically hooked to it, it's just an electronic controller.

> Life existed and thrived back then as well.

Hate to break it to you, but humans are not stromatolites.

Humans have been about for two million years and have evolved to live in recent climatic conditions and to thrive in the extremely relatively stable Holocene.

> We are coming out of an ice age

On what evidence?

By the record we are in an ice age (do see and read my prior link) and not only were we expected to stay in that ice age but were expected to return to increased glaciation (ie decreasing tempretures).

The only reason we are coming out of an ice age is due to human activity increasing the bulk insulation properties of the atmosphere.

Actually I just looked at my last year at a FAANG in California.
I earned about $370 K (including 401K match). $135 K went to taxes (Federal, Social Security, Medicare, State).

If I save absolutely everything left ($235 K) for 10 years that gets me to 2.35 million.

The parent post mentioned saving $2-5 million. To get to $ 2 M I have to live off $35 K a year (I realize I'm ignoring investment activities).

EDIT: additionally to minimize taxation you’re probably doing some of that savings in a 401k. Let’s say $25k * 10 year (I was). But that actually creates a deferred tax obligation. Let’s say the tax rate you pay that at is 20% (very optimistic but by the time you pay it you’ll likely be used to living below the poverty line). That takes you down to $30k a year. Actually even worse the employer match is taxable when you withdraw it, so another deferred tax obligation means that to get to $2M (accounting for future tax obligations) in 10 years you need to live on $25K a year.

That seems challenging in Northern California. Also why would I want to do that? - living at that spending level is likely to affect my long-term health and happiness, so the motivation is not clear to me.
The most common variant is for (effectively) every adult citizen to receive a fixed "tax refund" amount.

This is paid for by a combination of: replacing existing welfare with UBI, retrenching the bureaucrats that used to implement those complex welfare programs, and increasing the percentage of income tax paid.

There's some threshold where you might pay extra $20K on your income, but you get a flat $20K back as UBI, so you don't notice any change. This is typically somewhere in the middle class. Everyone poorer than this gets a boost to their income and/or have their existing welfare (and associated requirements!) replaced by an unconditional payment.

Everyone richer pays more tax, but not a huge amount more, since UBI mostly replaces existing welfare. It isn't an entirely new type of welfare on top of existing welfare -- this is the strawman that the right-wing likes to use in debates.
The source you link to seems to indicate that this is not an accepted historical fact but very much disputed who precisely did what.

The U.S. lost thousands of high-paying (and tax-paying) labor positions and atrophied the skills that went with them. Intel profited from it.

How about asking the workers in other countries who benefitted from this transaction if they were happy with the arrangement? Or do only Americans matter? Maybe you think foreigners are fit only to till dirt fields as subsistence farmers?
