Just one more lane
  • How is alternative transit the solution? Cities that have public transportation still have traffic jams.

    There was an English traffic engineer that predicted that avg speed in central London will always be like 9mph. No matter how many lanes or public transit options you add. If there is no traffic, people will take cars until traffic jams are unbearable to give up. Then the system finds equilibrium.

  • [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins?
  • Plazma (Lane) Biscuits, 600g https://a.co/d/2zIZ29U

    They have some vitamins and iron, not too much fat or sugar, but still taste great. There is also a ground version that can be eaten with milk, kind of like a sweet porridge - but better.

    what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion
  • Yes, all packages in nixos are available as binaries to download.

    The comparison with Arch was just in terms of number of packages. Not the binary availability.

    At the bottom of this page, they say that binary cache is currently at 120TB. https://nixos.org/community/index.html

    If packages being available as binaries is the main criteria, nix has you covered there.

    The biggest issue for most people with Nixos is the learning curve just because it's so different.

  • what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion
  • Nixos will use/download cached binaries that are available in its repo. It has one of the biggest repositories of any Linux distro. It's on par with Arch with around 90 thousand packages.

    Unless you are doing something custom or niche, your nixos won't have to compile anything.

  • Gov. Tony Evers signs new election maps, ending Wisconsin Republicans' grip on legislative power
  • Technically correct, but there are systems that don't have to rely on maps per say. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation where representatives are assigned proportionally based on the votes. You don't have "your own representative".

    Obviously there are downsides to this, but at the same time it requires no districts and manipulation in that regard is not possible.

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • This doesn't seem correct. RCS is supposed to be supported by you mobile provider, if it isn't only then your messaging app on Android will use Google's service. The whole protocol was meant to be open to entice companies to adopt it.

    I understand Google dropped don't be evil, but they are not a villain in every story.

  • US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now?
  • They don't expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That's when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn't have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.

    20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it's not addressed. Which I'm sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.
