There's miseries in all stages of life. I've known people that still enjoyed life into their 80s and even 90s. I'm not very afraid of being physical uncomfortable, and I enjoy being here enough to want to fight for more…
Life is great, who wouldn't want more of it? I'm old enough to see some the advances in medical care different family members were able to receive when they became very ill over the decades. I'm young enough to be…
According to the article, the game developers plan on removing exclusive access to the underlying blockchain that is governing the rules of the game. This means other game clients can be created, and activity with the…
If the unbiased view is leftist then an unbiased newspaper would be left leaning.
Exactly, winning the lottery is massively life changing. This is actually something I think people don't understand about the psychology of lottery. In some regards it doesn't matter if the money is $50M or $500M for…
It means that even though there are members in the guild/union, the company NYT negotiates individually with every member of the guild/union instead of going through the guild/union. The entire worker benefit of the…
This could be a blueprint for how other tech departments unionize, but I suspect NYT is a unique case because of their politics. Can such a left wing cornerstone really afford to look anti-union inside their own house?…
The rumors of the thinner iPhone made me disappointed when this wasn't thinner.
Hopefully your projects aren't too ingrained in the github ecosystem for migrating to be an issue. It's a bug tracker, a feature request tracker, a patch tracker ,a wiki, a release repository, plus an onramp to all…
That seems to be the recent business plan of the military industrial complex. Wars aren't popular among US voters, and military recruitment numbers are struggling. Instead, if we sell slightly dated weapons to foreign…
I think it's disappointing that the default toolchain for collaborating on free and open source software includes GitHub which is very much not free and open source, and is backed by Microsoft which has a mixed history…
It's blatantly about international power. Technology is seen as a bottle neck to limit China's power on several fronts. Economic power, military power, scientific power, technological power.
Nothing about operating a vehicle is safe. I think it's unfair to judge someone morally for doing an activity that is common practice.
Freight -- Ideally this causes more investment into freight rail and more freight to be moved by rail/boat. This might cause short term price increases to expand the infrastructure, but long term it's much…
Yes. In regions where real estate prices explode many people are forced out of their homes because they cannot pay the increased tax. This specifically hits senior citizens hard. It's not uncommon for a property to…
> Copper is of course valuable enough that at times people have stolen copper wiring to sell it for recycling. I don't know whether that's a thing today. You can scrap copper for anywhere between $1-$3/lb depending on…
Right now we have a common architecture where users upload files to a central service, and that central service then forwards the content to other users. This is true of services like Youtube, Zoom, etc. With 1Tb/s…
Earlier you said "There’s just too much opportunity loss compared to lower income / less rich countries." I think the lost opportunity value of dicking around would be about equal between wealthy countries and…
Out of all of Japan's problems, I think the fundamental root is they need to import a significant amount of energy. They do not have significant coal, oil, uranium. They have limited access to solar and wind for their…
Generous ration. Yeah there should be limits, depending on the environment.
Seems pretty clear to me that agriculture should wax and wane it's consumption and humans should have access to a consistent generous ration.
As a 4k monitor user, I think KDE has DPI scaling on par with MacOS.
OP is talking about WSL. I've seen some technical documentation, such as readmes for source code, that assumes the user is on a Windows laptop running WSL. At this point in time if I see anything mentioning Ubuntu I…
I had the same experience about 5 years ago.
The definition of a table does matter a lot, even in law. For example, businesses may deduct purchases of tables from their taxes. It wouldn't be right if a company couldn't deduct a plastic table from their taxes…
