My burial is already paid for, as required by law in my country. It is the basic package, so nobody has to waste money on me later. I always have enough food and water at home to make it through 2 weeks. Also a few liters of ethanol to cook a meal in case everything goes offline.

I am mostly prepared for a Zombie acapolypse, because it is more fun. So I have some signaling pyro, high intensity warning clothing and of course an array of blunt weapons to choose from. Most of them are just usual tools for dual use. I have a rope ladder to leave my apartment through any window and a backpack with some essentials on hand.

Those things might be helpful in many other situations.

We are controlled by Information which is the correct way. This way everyone can find the truth. Disinformation construes our view on real issues and controlles us aswell. We must get rid of disinformation to be controlled by the correct information!

Let me separate information and disinformation for you, so you can be correctly controlled. My political opponent is doing it in the wrong way!

They just didn't account the health status of the vaccinated children. Maybe there is a reason they took the vaccine because of other conditions, that have relevance to the higher mortality.

Maybe the results would be exactly the same, if both groups have been separated and no vaccine was administered at all. I don't know for sure...

It's like saying hospitals are death traps, because most people die there. I can easily support this with data.

Right, assuming the flare is strong and long enough it is possible for UV and above to reach the surface.

Still you can take an x-ray of your HDD or SSD without data loss. There might be sweet spots of certain energies, that might cause data corruption.

The big guys, a barrage of protons and neutrons has much more potential to mess with the drives. Should whipe them out clean. But there are still a lot of molecules in the air, which will fend them off.

Against this throwing the hard drives into the swimming pool, would yield better protection.

That is not a stupid question, it is actually quite difficult to answer.

Short answer, such a faraday enclosure won't do as much against this type of radiation, but your hardrrives should be fine either way.

A microwave oven is optimally shielded for around 2.4 GHz. That is a very very high frequency compared to the solar flare. At lower frequencies, the shielding isn't as optimal and will only yield a minor reduction.

The solar flare puts some dents into the earth magnetic field, that swing back and forth at a much much lower frequency. This causes currents in the mesh of wires we put on top of the earth to power everything. This current then overloads most systems and destroys electronics on the substations level. Transformers blow out, everything with long wires stretched over a few hundred Kilometers can accumulate a ridiculous unwanted current. Protecting against this is difficult and expensive, so a lot of stuff goes byebye.

Your hard drive lying unconnected in the sun, will feel like it's raining lots of very tiny magnets. It will respond with a tiny surface current, but that would be it. This should not erase the data.

Vegans even differ in ethical beliefs. Some of them belief animals should be spared from the cruelty of life all together and wish them all to vanish.

Some have more love for animals and just hate the cruelty of mass farming, but become ethical hunters sometimes.

You sound exactly like a good friend of mine. He is hypochondriac with an orthorexia nervosa. He also suffers from weltschmerz due to environmental concerns. We full heartedly disagree on certain topics, but it is okay and he said I helped him alot.

In my opinion you can not eat yourself healthy and you have way to little impact to be of any concern to this planet.

You can definitely eat yourself sick, so be careful.

Diskrete waschmaschine to dryer pipline. My own neural network and the other available trained ones seperate the clothes in buckets or loose chunks, depending on optical charakteristiks.

Chunks are manually inspekted to correct errors, apply the function pocket search or placed in washing bags. Each chunk has different settings for the washing machine, which triggers different inputs. Look them up in the wasching machine documentation.

After applying washing machine to chunk, chunk is moved into dryer. Again depending on classification different settings apply, see the documentation.

After dryer, the chunks are folded. By training the neural networks on YouTube Tutorial for different quick methods, this is done competitive. E.g. smaller networks are able to sort, match and combine socks with a result every few minutes, while bigger networks fold T-shirt in a few seconds.

Washing machine and dryer receive a yearly routine inspection, to clean out the "gunk" from the pumps. Failed pocket search function, can cause serious damage. For this, traditionally the machine is taken apart to an unessesary degree while cold drinks of refreshing nature are consumed.

Efficient task scheduling and parallel processing of other functions during washing and dryer machine processes are ways to further optimize the overall time consumption.

Anything that floats creates surface area for life to cling on. Water flow can then provide food and oxygen. Puzzlingly oxygen is not a requirement, there is even multicellular aneorobic life with methane as the CO2 equivalent.

Your system would have a significant impact on life and could cloque up, or become very heavy and sink to the ocean floor.

Based on the conservation of mass, Stoichiometry helps you to calculate carbon storage. In sea water calcium is present, corals and mollusks or snails use it to build their shells out of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water. Forming the white cliffs of England and many other things over millions of years.

The calcium concentration varies alot over the oceans and depth.

If the CO2 concentration is high calcium bicarbonate forms, which is soluble in water. Rising levels of that stuff are the cause of ocean acidification. Otherwise calcium carbonate will precipitate out, trapping the CO2.

You could calculate the excess mass you are producing this way, in form of calcium carbonate, by Stoichiometry. Just farming snails and mullusks and weighing their shells, you would do the exact same thing. Noting that CO2 is 44 g per mol and calcium carbonate is 100 g per mol 1 kg of sea shells produced is 440 g of CO2 removed, roughly.

To certify your metrics you have to calculate a stoichiometry of your complete processes of production, deployment of sattelites, data aquisation ,...,... . If you only use green energy you can cheat a lot here. From this you can then remove your sea shell production offset, with the mentioned mass reduction.

This total is your certifyable CO2 reduction, which you can sell to somebody to fudge his certificate.

Yes, if controlling humans was that easy empires wouldn't rise and fall.

USB C is just the connector. The functionality is subject to the cable itself.

Sounds stupid, but it is what it is.

There should be a tiny symbol on the connector, giving you exactly this information. Looking through my USB C cable some of them actually have it. Most have no information on them.

I can not look up the IEC norm at the moment, but I'm sure they forgot about that little detail.

Don't worry, people on HN know what filthy beasts data analysts truly are. Everyone who digs that type of mathematics, is also doing some other naughty things for fun.

What is surprising from this shotty paper is that they conclude boring people are perceived as "less competent".

Seems counter-intuitive, considering accounting and taxes.

No matter how good the setup is, the most obvious vulnerability are always unattended unlocked devices with access to the NAS. Even better if there is some remote session, that isn't properly signed out.

Some very basic discipline will protect you a long way.

Beyond that comes the realm of the dark wizards of HN.

but be warned, it is enchanted with paranoia.

That is a possible explanation. Somehow this information was transferred to me and struck the exact right nerve. I don't know how and the strong emotions can alter perception after the fact.

For me it was absolutely paranormal and still is.

I once woke up in the middle of the night and yelled something about my dog. I felt real panik, my girlfriend tried to calm me down. She probably thought I have a weird dream or something. I was so wide awake.

She was so sure everything is fine. I told her she is probably right, but I have to look anyway. I just had to.

When I found him he was laying on the side under a display. He was still moving his legs and his tounge was hanging out to the ground. He was breathing quite rapidly. I picked him up and put him on his feet, but he just kept walking and his tounge was still out. I put him in a box and watered his tounge and pet him for an hour. His legs were going and going, but he could move his tongue from time to time. Like he was annoyed by the water, he kinda scoffed and it broke his breathing shortly. I kept dripping water on his tounge and he sighed a few times. I felt horrible.

Eventually he snapped out of it and looked at me exhausted of his ordeal, drank a little, licked my hand and fell asleep with normal breathing.

He was fine the next day.

I can not explain this, but this dog and I had an emotional connection that went through closed door, walls, stairs and even over reassurance of my girlfriend and the comfort of a warm cosy bed.

I disagree. I used Misinformation instead of Disinformation on purpose. It broader and not accusing others. The distinction is very much useless.

You define Disinformation as Misinformation with intent. So it would only be a subgroub of Misinformation itself, kinda like apples and honeycrisps. Thoose aren't clearly different in any meaningful way, just more specific.

Intent is something that is very hard to prove and will fail you as broad concept.

Can people transform Disinformation to Misinformation, when they lack intent? Or is any form of sharing on twitter some form of intent, thereby converting all Missinformation to Disinformation?

Seriously! I don't know how these object transfer it's properties.

Disinformation includes a ton of advertisement, crypto NFT pyramid schemes and all kinds of fraud and scams. Purposely used Misinformation to deceive others with clear intent. Quite huge on twitter.

If Disinformation specifically defined as propaganda to deceive people or make them agreeable or "join the cause", you can add a ton of discussions on communism, fascism, socialism, democracy, conservatism, feminism, cult, sekts, diverse religions and so much more to twitters Disinformation. People are lying to convince others, that is clearly Disinformation, or twitters main thing.

Twitter is awash with Misinformation and probably most of it classifies as Disinformation, as soon one can find any form of intent or purpose for it.

If you assume any unchecked information is Misinformation and posting it for retweets and likes is already intent, then everything on twitter is Disinformation.

You should not take anything on twitter at face value, if you can not verify it from a primary source.

Twitter is and will always be awash with misinformation.

Twitter is not a legitimate source for Wikipedia and never has been.

It is engagement for pleasure, hatred and animosity.

It choose a political side and bunked the heads of authoritarian leaders and big democracies.

It may even been a catalyst for the long brewing Ukrainian conflict.

At which point wasn't it awash with misinformation?

Would you like to kill all orcs or is there a magic spell to make them precious elves again?

What about the wee little snotlings and the goblins?

It scares me, that some of us actually enjoy the killing and the carnage.

The problem of newspeak is that most of us don't see it, until it's too late. When we feed the machine with our fears, it will cut us off.

Most of us still like each other.

Greenland maybe?

Yes. Non violent resistance and just leaving the country is a healthy strategy.

But the Ukrainian leaders have choosen war to the last man between 18-60.

Right on. If you are dumb enough to censor, you can only censor content and the frame you are looking through doesn't make any difference.

Imagine in a totalitarian regime, you would like to inform people on system critical thoughts others have been executed for, so people can avoid them.

Love is oxitocin, it gives you serotonin or comfort and dopamine the rewarding rush. At the same time, it also makes you stupid.

The older theory is we use up our oxitocin in around 3 years, but we can still enjoy either serotonin or dopamin to keep a relationship going.

It recovers, but you never feel that high again. In teenage years it's the worst/best.

The addictions you describe, porn, YouTube, gaming and what you are doing here are in this theory related to dopamine.

You seem to have kicked it or you can't reach your level anymore.

Sometimes we use this stuff up and don't feel the rush and the excitement. Receptors requiring to much to be shaken.

You need to take a break and regenerate your rewarding hormones. This makes experiences greater, but sometimes it takes years.

Sometimes you need to do something extreme, shake things up or pick a fight and feel alive again.

Sometimes you feel awful when it is all used up.

I don't know where you are at with this, but love does not rekindle on command. Just some chemical in your brain and everything is different.

Others gave you some really solid advice here, sorry I don't have any.

Just be careful, this can be a very lonely planet.

Have you sufficiently taken the pandemic into account? It messes up everything and people are more on edge. Couples spend more time together and outside friends or activities are missing for many.

How will you know, that your feeling of happiness will even last when she is gone?

It seems obvious you need a break, but maybe your past self will just recover and with it comes a lot of regret.

If you are really sure, you should confront it with her, there is no nice way for this, so don't even bother finding it.

That is beautiful horrific observation by one of my favorite scientists.

You are right. Just have some lemma near some old proof.

Still being knowledgable about science and understanding its method for finding truth is currently the best weapon against the snake oil salesmen and their buttery voices.

I talk about science the method, not the group of old men grading papers. Maybe that is our misunderstanding. For you science is the scientific community, for me it is the method. One has a consensus, one clearly does not.

Usually science is the process of finding truth. First by observation then by modelling and then by testing.

What you talk about is politics.

Science is certainly not about consensus.

Therefore information to refute BS becomes more valuable. That it's easy to lie is not a sufficient argument for censorship.

I use Tab completion alot. I do mostly mathematical programming, I can keep track of horrible extremely short namespaces easily and then use find and replace feature to make everything nice. Even though I have no real concept for it, I just do it to make the code more similar to my colleagues.

Every training I had to overcome my dyslexia was absolutely useless. Spellcheck is very important. Fonts and colors don't matter at all. Just seeing my own work after I forgot about it, actually makes me see my mistakes. This can take years, my memory is insane for my own work.

You can't see mistakes, since you basically have an internal autocompletion that doesn't allow you to see mistakes or missing words. Checking the code of my coworkers is surprisingly different, I can find their mistakes quite easily.

It is much more important to have goal and motivation. Don't worry about those little details, like floating letters and missing words.

You can only eat certain fruit bodys of plants, while animals can eat a whole lot more and the stuff you throw away.

What we feed livestock isn't exactly for human consumption and mostly non human available calories. This calculation on calories has the fatal flaw, that they assume an average calories output of farmland and intake of humans and livestock. On paper it checks out, but it has no grounding in reality.

Animals are great meat and protein processors, that can make farming much more efficient and sustainable.

The vegan diet is fun with avocados, cacao, coconut, almonds and so on, but that is intensive stuff for farming and it can not be easily ramped up.

Pigs scale much easier and can be fed with food waste.
