A previous HN thread on SoftRAM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21768268

Many people knew it was a bigger deal, with a casual glance at the chemicals involved. It has been a typical snowjob because the media likes the people in charge.

Heck yeah. There's a pretty decent chance it's still available somewhere. I can still find code I wrote almost 30 years ago for a tiny BBS software.

1. You bought the books fast/easy on Amazon... That is incredibly suspicious activity though, buying everything with different cards... You can get this fixed by dealing with Amazon support.

2. You bought them pretty fast/easy here too... Without knowing if you can transfer that format to your device.

The title is misleading and inaccurate.

The post you are responding to does not make the claim that it builds muscle, nor does it make reference to lean muscle mass... It says "preserves" muscle (comparable to "maintenance" as you suggested).

Of course GMs and staff had invuln flags... the Lord British character didn't play the game normally, he appeared for events.

I called it "Selfish OSS", how FAANG uses open source communities... I was an open source advocate there for a while, but became disillusioned with it pretty quickly. Some of the engineers care about contributing to the communities, sure, but the companies absolutely do not give a shit about that. It's all about enforcing dominance / crushing competition, and making recruiting easier. What the users want is only supported if it's also what the company wants. If your feature request isn't also desirable to the company, it's not happening, even if you submit the code. I'm now more likely to advocate for closed-source.

His 30 minute example was when there are only a few satellites in space. Once many are active, it would allegedly become near-realtime.

"Too many employees, but very few of them supported or utilized correctly." is how I'd put it. I worked at Facebook for over 7 years, and I would've worked myself to death for the company. I was making a small fortune, and living a nice life, and I greatly appreciated it. (in hindsight, lol, so glad I left.)

The real problems, imo, were the organizational rules, the expectation that basically everyone in a role is the same... the red tape, the ridiculously gamed review cycles, the little empires that reject change... the fear & the blame. This all on top of bad managers, of which I had a fair mixture, those who were helpful and those who actively worked to hurt me.

Regardless, the downsizing is coming, and it's all leaderships fault.

That is a real thing that happened.

Any local data center.

Marketing teams write their tweets. They never say anything interesting or remotely human.

Not sure you can 'change the world', without a unified group of people with some shared faith or belief.

Phenomenal job on the video. Loved it, buying the game. Best of luck!

Different perspectives... I don't see anything awful there.

Bit of a tribute video (there are many about "skyking") with some video clips and atc audio. https://tv.gab.com/channel/fosco/view/fly-high-skyking-61130...

note: The link for a discount on the suggested replacement works for anyone, not just copilot users. Grabbed it, might be useful to help family.

I got into it because of tinnitus, and used it to sleep, but eventually started using it when working. Years ago in menlo park, with headphones on and white/brown noise drowning out the world. I likened it sensory deprivation, as nothing rises above the noise floor and it can fade away from your attention.

You're not the only one. Luckily, we have options.

I flipped your first example because it doesn't relate to the situation we're talking about and what you were responding to.

B isn't trying to take something from A. A is trying to woo (something near B) and B is promising consequences.

It no longer has anything to do about who is right, or what is right... that black and white right and wrong are no longer relevant.

If B is willing to back up the claims, A has to seriously consider their choices.

It's pretty close to the same in my example with the cousin... It doesn't matter if B is an asshole or is wrong, what does that have to do with anything?

The funny thing is, I don't think I'm even taking a position on the actual argument... I just think there's so much narrative control that many aren't even capable of considering alternative explanations.

Let's make your examples actually match the structure I set up. You've created some weird analogies that don't relate.

A: I want to take your purse.

B: If you take my purse, I will kill you.

If A continues to try and take the purse, A is obviously the agitator.

A: I want to leave you.

B: If you leave, I will kill you.

We agree B is a monster here, and this is a police matter, not global politics.

Maybe we can create a better example...

A: Hey B I want to nail your cousin.

B: I will not allow that to happen. Bro I will ruin your world. Literally, armageddon. Don't do it.

If A continues trying to nail the cousin, clearly the agitator.. no?

I'm not arguing in favor of might makes right, but global politics isn't simple and many of the players aren't rational or reasonable. I'm arguing for dealing with reality, and acknowledging reality. I don't have a strong position either way, to be honest, and I don't think really any of us know enough to be so confident.

Look I think you're missing the point. Chew on it for a bit, don't respond half-cocked.

You: I want do to X.

B: If you do X, I will do Y.

You can try to convince B not to do Y if you do X...

but if B is prepared to do Y, and is showing you he's prepared to do Y...

and you can't convince him not to...

then you have to consider, that if you continue trying to do X, that You are the one agitating.

You're being hyperbolic... I am merely pointing out this doesn't appear to be unprovoked. This place should be a little more open-minded than an MSNBC panel.

Maybe I've actually tried to get a better understanding, and just have a different perspective on things? I consume a lot of varied media, but I also work 10-14 hours a day.

I think many people are unable to consider the whole picture. They want to ideally look at these things in isolation.

There's some set of [reason] the 'west' wants Ukraine to join NATO, and in theory, there's no issue with that right?.... but in reality, the consequences could be severe. It's silly to ignore the consequences when you've been informed upfront.

Most people wouldn't have any idea that it has anything to do with NATO, since the media is doing a wonderful job of misinforming. It's being pitched as 100% unprovoked aggression.

I don't think you're too cynical, but we can have our own takes. From what I was able to piece together, Russia isn't the one starting this conflict, in action. It's NATO aligned countries trying to get Ukraine to join NATO. Russia made it very clear, that ain't happening and they'll go to war over it.

So who's still agitating for war?

The zero-evidence claims that Russia was about to invade sure look like pure propaganda from the same people who are thirsty for it.

Later on in the paper, they rely on a bunch of trials and specify a low-carb diet as <130g per day!

Yeah, I never see a good analysis of a strict keto diet... First two weeks are incidental carbs only, as close to 0 as possible.. after that maybe 20 a day, 30 a day, for months.

I'm on day 56 right now and down 21 pounds.

This was true, imo, ~2 years ago. Does not appear to be the case now, I recently went through the process with Firefox and the developer environment was very very friendly, would be straightforward to fork. (I shipped a Chromium fork in the past)

For most people, yeah it's worth it. Afaik, yeah they do allow fully offline backup/restore, you don't need to use iCloud for that.

I switched away to an Android, so this isn't something I'm taking advantage of personally.
