With you always working make sure blue wins.

A job well done is its own reward.

Assuming the grunt work is not a component of good decision-making.

I didn't have time to review it, but there is some way to explicitly trust GrapheneOS. Maybe that is what they mean?

In my experience, banks are among the worst at following email standards. Why would we expect more sophisticated security protections from them?

This deserves a [pdf] in the title.

> I personally miss singers being slightly out of tune and beats being slight out of time in songs. I love hearing imperfections in older music.

John Bohnam's squeaky base pedal on Physical Graffiti is all I hear and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Legend was that the title track is all musicians in one room recorded live in a single take.

These are really fantastic.

Why can't I use rclone?

Sometimes I think semantics matters.

Will [other Linux distributions] become viable alternatives to the Android/iOS duopoly?

Apparently, I have to enable JavaScript to receive a rating.

The last time I went down this rabbit hole I concluded these are all correct with identical meaning in U.S. English:

I don't think that user understands what capital is.

This is childish thinking, because as adults we have the ability to reason.

Those living near impoverishment and experience large increases in price or complete unavailability of critical infrastructure will then become impoverished.

Oil, notably diesel, is critical infrastructure for everyone not living in a pure state of nature or off the grid.

> oil is dead

It is you who sees what you want to see. I am pointing the reality of impoverishing a significant amount of civilization as a result of removing a critical part of the world's infrastructure.

My observation is your opinion is one from people who are completely isolated from the rest of civilization.

You seem to be among those who enjoy replacing old technologies by violently removing them, including impoverishment of those who rely on them.

This position basically advocates that a substantial part of civilization becomes impoverished. There is not enough capital available to replace everything powered by diesel, let alone all of the other petroleum products.

Every time I find myself on one of the roads that has a series of roundabouts, I have to maneuver at least once to avoid getting into an accident with a driver who has no idea how to drive through a roundabout.

Drive a school bus through there. Let me know how that goes.

And the reason is obvious: when the driver runs the law of the red light, they run into a law of physics (cross traffic).

These don't work in the U.S. as everyone fantasizes they do.

An important note: in the U.S., the vast majority of jurisdictions permit making a right turn on a red light, and some, including the state of Oregon, permit making a left turn onto a one way road from a red light. In high congestion areas, such as here in Las Vegas Valley, many drivers will not fill a right lane at a red light when they are not turning right as a courtesy to those needing to turn right at the intersection.

During commute hours, everyone disobeys all laws to get home or get to work. When there are regularly spaced roundabouts on a long stretch of road, drivers get exceptionally impatient and will drive at the performance limits of the vehicles, late-braking like they are F1 drivers. This ends up grouping all of the drivers into a very solid wolf pack who will not stop for anyone and will speed through the roundabout, making it impossible for pedestrians and drivers other onramps to enter the roundabout.

The vast majority of drivers do not know how to use the roundabout, as is evidenced when they enter from the left lane of a two-lane road and use the exit lane that is only marked for use from the right lane. Americans who know how to use the roundabout respond to this by habitually stopping at the roundabout entrance when they see a car in any lane entering the roundabout at high speed, which is most vehicles. Then the drivers behind the stopped vehicle think the stopped vehicle is driven by someone who doesn't know how to drive on a roundabout and begin honking incessantly or attempting to illegally pass the stopped driver.

Henderson, Nevada provides many such examples of this. Most interesting to me is that parts of the town have nearly identical roads that are served by either only traffic signals or only roundabouts. My experience is that the roads with traffic signals have far fewer issues than the roads with roundabouts.

Indeed, this is so, so true.

Especially with heavy traffic, the traffic all slows down, a lot, from the section before the roundabout. Everyone is always in a hurry, so likely 10-25 MPH over the recommended speed (not the speed limit) for the roundabout, and all of them are at a 6 foot following distance.

You are playing with death to step into that. It's no joke. You end up effectively waiting for the upstream light to turn red so traffic can clear and you can cross.

The only solution I've thought of is to put a large grocery cart full of paint buckets at the roundabout for pedestrians to push into the crosswalk without risking their own lives.

This is true if you can alter the properties of the physically existent universe, else it is not true, and, indeed, drivers do not even slow down largely because they feel frustrated when traveling along a road with a 45 MPH speed limit at an average speed of 20 MPH.

It would be nice if one the myriad projects to modify the HN feed would produce a feed of recently resurrected submissions and comments.

Flagging a submission into dead status makes it unvotable until resurrected (by a moderation team member, usually Dang, whom I am sure is buried and it's kind of a miracle to me they are able to get to such requests). This is usually a long enough period of time to place the submission so far back in the queue that it will never receive another upvote.

Alternatively, go to /newest and vote for what you want to see on the front page.
