08:01 schestowitz-TR; nations run by their people want to get ahead
08:01 schestowitz-TR; by teaching the young
08:01 schestowitz-TR; nations run against their people want to keep people behind
08:01 schestowitz-TR; stagnation, not advancement, can also be a business model
08:01 schestowitz-TR; like moderna raising the price of covid vaccines by %4000
08:01 schestowitz-TR; without bothering to even improve them
09:08 schestowitz-TR; msft layoffs likely next week
09:08 schestowitz-TR; draft
09:09 schestowitz-TR; marked accordingly in categories and headline
09:09 schestowitz-TR; sometimes it's the best one has
09:22 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
09:26 techrigthssec; still a rumor though
10:14 schestowitz-TR; firefox, quiterss and other reply on rss/feed/meta to tell where the feed is
10:14 schestowitz-TR; he probably didn't craft the page to highlight where the feed is
10:14 schestowitz-TR; returning visits/bookmarks/subs are very valuable
10:14 schestowitz-TR; the lifeblood of a sitge
10:14 schestowitz-TR; feedburner burned a lot of sites
10:14 schestowitz-TR; they outsourced
10:14 schestowitz-TR; foolishly
10:14 schestowitz-TR; in exchange for some worthless stats and widgets
10:14 schestowitz-TR; *rely on
10:44 schestowitz-TR; the kids today look the same
10:45 schestowitz-TR; but don't act the same
10:45 schestowitz-TR; i wonder how that's perceived by those in positions of power
10:45 schestowitz-TR; either way, not direcly my problem
10:49 schestowitz-TR; but we noticed that in recent decades the number of kids with mental "diagnosis'
10:49 schestowitz-TR; nto birth defects, not that it's not a problem tooo..
10:49 schestowitz-TR; seems to have increased shrply
10:50 schestowitz-TR; lots of "problematic" kids
10:50 schestowitz-TR; mental, physical
10:50 schestowitz-TR; the explanations or hypothesis are not easy to have a stab at
10:50 schestowitz-TR; but common sense helps
10:50 schestowitz-TR; irc mentions rising costs of raising cats
10:50 schestowitz-TR; now with soaring food prices
10:50 schestowitz-TR; the same goes for kids
10:50 schestowitz-TR; cars' median/average price is not over $40k
10:50 schestowitz-TR; and it's hard to raise kids without a car
11:04 techrigthssec; Two of the latest Louis Rossmann videos address patents and their anticompetitive nature. The shorter video is a
11:04 techrigthssec; digest of the longer one. It's on the edge
11:04 techrigthssec; of hardware patents and not a software patent matter but the same kind of
11:04 techrigthssec; games are being played with the hardware by Samsung
11:18 techrigthssec; https://roadzen.medium.com/the-real-cost-of-owning-a-car-eu-efa814dde33a
11:18 techrigthssec; 30k ammortized over 5 yerars = 6k / year
11:18 techrigthssec; 100 per week in fuel = 5k / year
11:18 techrigthssec; 2k per year in maintenance
11:18 techrigthssec; 1k per year in insurance
11:18 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-roadzen.medium.com | The Real Cost of Owning a Car EU | by Roadzen | Medium
11:18 techrigthssec; sum = 14k per year, with the above completely made up, low-ball numbers
11:18 techrigthssec; so owning a car is like taking a 15k to 20k paycut
11:19 techrigthssec; Kids are in the ball park of 250k per kid to raise to age 18,
11:19 techrigthssec; ammortized over 18 years is about 14k per year
11:19 techrigthssec; So two cars and two kids could be 56k per year minimum,
11:19 techrigthssec; then there is mortgage, etc
11:19 techrigthssec; In some countries one must save for college expenses, too
11:19 techrigthssec; a basic in-state 4-year degree will be about 11k per year, not counting
11:19 techrigthssec; room and board
11:20 schestowitz-TR; from what I understand, back in 2000 (I checked in the 90s) a 4-year degree in a "decent"
11:20 schestowitz-TR; US uni can cost 200-250k all things included
11:20 schestowitz-TR; forget about the diploma mills
11:20 schestowitz-TR; I still have letters from some
11:20 schestowitz-TR; 1990s
11:23 techrigthssec; Yes, out of state will run on average 25k per year, but the high-end schools
11:23 techrigthssec; will be substantially more. There is a *world* of difference between
11:23 techrigthssec; the different levels of institution there. Some will run around 50k per year.
11:23 techrigthssec; And 4 years is not necessarily realistic. In the hard sciences or in engineering 4.5 or 5 years is much more com
11:23 techrigthssec; mon.
11:23 techrigthssec; So our of state at certain schools will run 250k just for the basic degree, not
11:23 techrigthssec; a good deal. Then taking on a loan for that will cripple future earnings
11:23 techrigthssec; and while it will allow a masters degree, it will actively eliminate the
11:23 techrigthssec; possiblility of a PhD.
11:24 schestowitz-TR; 2022 fares?
11:24 schestowitz-TR; 2023?
11:24 schestowitz-TR; 2010?
11:24 schestowitz-TR; 2000?
11:24 schestowitz-TR; it only moves up
11:24 schestowitz-TR; same for cars in the above-mentioned url
11:24 schestowitz-TR; now average 42,000 usd
11:24 schestowitz-TR; (my phd was funded by eu)
11:24 schestowitz-TR; except cost of living, but i worked jobs at the same time
11:29 techrigthssec; Most student jobs are not ecomonically sensible only good for a combionation
11:29 techrigthssec; of entertainment and "experience".
11:36 schestowitz-TR; thankfully I never picked high-budget vices
11:36 schestowitz-TR; btw, the smell/odor of himalayan salt got bad
11:36 schestowitz-TR; like sulfur
11:36 schestowitz-TR; didn't notice that as much before
11:36 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is trying to showhorn vista into massively underpowered PCs
11:36 schestowitz-TR; those are disposed of at the stores for nothing
11:36 schestowitz-TR; dfc noticed the same
11:38 techrigthssec; That is only a show to make people dissatisfied with the "old" hardware
11:38 techrigthssec; so they will go out and unquestioningly buy TPM 2.0; It also distracts from
11:38 techrigthssec; coverage of how to upgrade "old" hardware with GNU/Linux
11:41 schestowitz-TR; the cooking salt has been himalayan for a while
11:41 schestowitz-TR; but only in recent days the odor became more of an issue
11:41 schestowitz-TR; so it'll be limited to some dishes, like pastas
11:41 schestowitz-TR; I've just had so much paste that i might be done eating for the day (11am)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; with pesto

15:00 schestowitz-TR; need to keep an eye on TR httpd
15:00 schestowitz-TR; for the first time in months I resatarted the service
15:00 schestowitz-TR; as it was timing out on me
15:00 schestowitz-TR; seems back to normal now
15:00 schestowitz-TR; heavy loads on the site today, 5-10 hits/sec
15:01 techrigthssec; Once TM is fully migrated, TR is next.
16:57 techrigthssec; The error I see from here is "Timed out" failed to reach a server.

21:38 techrigthssec; Inkjet printers are to be avoided at all costs and in all situations.
21:38 techrigthssec; The problem is the ink, which dries quickly when not used and is
21:38 techrigthssec; outrageously expensive

22:11 psydruid; I have a Brother all-in-one laser printer here that has worked for 5 years and that you can also scan from using fully free drivers
23:43 schestowitz-TR; our printer died recently
23:43 schestowitz-TR; a replacement would be uneconomic at this point
23:44 schestowitz-TR; we never - not even once - used the scanner in it
23:44 schestowitz-TR; they are cash cows for the ink
23:44 schestowitz-TR; but we only used black and bought that cheaply in ebay
