The Commonwealth Saga is so great.
The portals / train system brings the vibes of the commonwealth up to something like the EU, but on a multi-planetary scale. You have to go through specific points to get planet to planet but the infrastructure is so built up that it’s mostly a travel time problem. It becomes an issue later on that the society has gotten kind of hidebound into a gradual expansion so they never really ‘needed’ FTL for exploration, and now they do.
If you have to have someone enforce the land registry or the documents, what is the benefit of the database being zero trust?
* banned drivers licenses that don’t meet the requirements that have had their implementation date pushed back repeatedly for a decade+. We will do anything and everything but have an actual national ID.
I don’t think any drivers licenses count as proof of citizenship though. (Even before, as noted, factoring in that they’re not looking.)
You’d need to rollback the last 70 years of pensions being replaced by 401k plans and/or limit responsibility to the brokers. If you hire a licensed plumber that ends up flooding your neighbor’s place, the plumber is the one getting sued.
It would probably also be good to restructure retirement incentives away from the stock market, but that’s not going to happen overnight either.
Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user’s timeline data if you didn’t immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn’t keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.
Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn’t have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.
I’m sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.
Also it’s Hard Rock Cafe, they have a burger with shrimp on it, what’s so weird about mix n’ matching patties?
It helps when you don’t care if the answers are true, just that you have “answers”.
Hackers is a movie without lies and nothing can convince me otherwise.
Probably a me problem but kept having problems with that docker on unraid, it’s just in the community apps ‘store’. The vm seemed to just crash randomly.
I switched over to their B2 storage and just use rclone to an encrypted bucket and it’s ~<$5/mo which I’m good with. Biggest cost is if I let it run too often and it spends a bunch of their compute time listing files to see if it needs to update them.
“Vet” covers everyone from Air Force Tower Controllers to Navy Seals to the guy in charge of records in a basement in Alaska and more.
For 4 years active duty and 4 years reserve most people are involved in logistics or records, and few of those have to know anything about radar.
Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.
There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.
Yeah lack of third spaces and class mixing is big. Everyone is segregated into their own existing (shrinking) in groups, that then get concentrated by the webiverse.
The 70s oil crisis was an inflection point for Europe and a lot of cities/countries started moving back away from cars as the sole transportation option but the US didn’t have the same reaction.
IFixit is generally good quality/value in my experience if it’s actually them and not some knockoff/drop shipper. Granted haven’t had a need to buy anything of theirs for years because the one I have keeps being great.
That kit is $40 on their site. Weird that it’s cheaper on Amazon in the first place.
By that logic signing up for Selective Service in the US means the US doesn’t have a volunteer military.
But if you identify it, it’s not a UFO.
A Radler is a German thing, shandy in English. Basically half lager half lemonade. Fantastic light drink. I’ve seen them at Total Wine in a few flavors.
Beer cocktails are a thing. Drink what you like.
Prost.

I figure not fixing that is 10% not knowing they could, 20% doing so would make it easier to rip stuff, 70% doing nothing costs them nothing since you’re supposed to be using the Blu-ray interface anyway.
He bought co-founder status at Paypal too IIRC. He was ousted in part because he wanted to rename it “x.com”. Weird that.
In the US those’ve been almost universally replaced by 401k plans, which I assume is what they’re referring to.
