Synology RT2600 is quite cool, I adore it. It has also a free site to site vpn feature where you can connect various subnets over the internet if you have several lines/homes. It can segment traffic by people (you record which MAC is w

Dude, we're talking building a space machine to observe objects light years away. 100 years ago, they would pick up trash on horse carriage. 500 years ago, they'd burn witches if the cows caught a virus in the village. 2000 years

Yeah it's very americano centric. In China where I emigrated, white people arent poorer than their yellow counterparts in average because immigration is done differently (no slavery, no low income, leave if you cant make it etc). The p

You shift from victim to guilty when there s an easy way out of your mistakes. Yes getting HIV can often be the result of a preventable mistake, but if there was a way out once you got it and you refused again and again to take it to reliev

Get up to the Grand Inquisitor story. You can stop after that, that's the peak for me, it went downhill from there. It wasn't really fun to read. But like all russian novels, it's very long, devoid of adventure, full of chara

Sure, and it's hard to detach from the idea we must have a purpose - which I would even argue predates and exists outside the christian sphere. I'm an atheist and I still think life should try to expand outwards in space for the s

Bit off topic but there's something I never got quite right in american linguo: do they say people do 9am - 5pm workdays ? Cause in France where I worked 3 years and Hong Kong 7, it's more 8:30-7. Someone leaving at 5 is almost re

Yeah I d say he s been dealt very bad cards, had no problem being independent growing up in Normandy, France. I think we're priviledged by not being in the US and that guy is at the top of a turd pile...

I live in China and I feel the same. I can understand the high level corruption, and media uselessness reporting nothing of substance, sure, but that's very far from how life in China seems to be perceived abroad. I guess like the auth

It's French or Spanish for free, because in our languages we split the concept of free beer and free speech into two words. Gratuituous could be used for free of charge since it's what we used in latin languages (which I suppose i

But that's probably not ADHD. I can focus on boring stuff for hours, so I suppose I don't have ADHD. But I have boring tasks piling (in fact I introduced my team the concept of cancelling BS tickets so we just don't do what w

So you would not ask the Artistic Director to focus on his year-long visit planning, take notes of all the names, and come on time at representation ? I mean, if ADHD is just about being very open minded and dedicated to non-mathematical su

Well they would if it would impact either them or the work. Being diabetic is frankly uninteresting, it's not clear how your work output would be ever damaged by it (until you reach a crisis and need to be out for weeks, then you'

For me, I think I understand attention is the most important factor in learning, followed by practice. The material is the base, sometimes a bad quality material can even reinforce practice and attention. I remember how I learned serious pr

If we can't employ Xinjian people anymore, what do you propose we do with them ?

You think of China in american terms. For all they care, the world stops at their borders and having to trade outside is a temporary inconvenience. They re not going to be able to expand, you can already see their cultural gradients on its

I'm an immigrant from France in Hong Kong, another predatory capitalist jurisdiction, and even here it's still bounded by some logic. Payday loans are really frowned upon, I think there's something in Chinese societies, just

But can others get them ? I mean imagine I'm Youssuf Fofana ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ilan_Halimi#Gang_o... ) and I decide to be smart and kidnap for ransom only high earners in a low security dist

Yeah only ransom and kidnapping. In France a guy was kidnapped by mistake because he was jewish and his smart kidnapper thought all jews were rich. He died. Now at least with such a list the risk of mistake is minimal, only genuine high ear

Now imagine you share it with criminals. Do you imagine a few creative ways to use such a list ? That's what Albania did.

Well I mean, yeah nobody will die except for the odd ransom when people can compile target lists more easily but I dont know Albania enough, just like if all health record were released. People you know would giggle a bit, then blah move on
