"By almost every measure, life is better than ever."
However, we often feel otherwise. And some people want us to believe otherwise.
The discrepancy is explained by Negativity Bias, Nostalgia Bias, and the slow but steady long-term overall improvements being shadowed by temporary setbacks.
Excellent explanation by Adrian Krebs.

Estland is voor Nederland al zo'n 15 jaar lang een voorbeeld als het gaat om digitale overheid. Talloze werkbezoeken zijn er ook al geweest. Zonder iets af te doen aan Estland. Met het continue noemen van Estland als "voorbeeld" wordt het in Nederland niet beter. Het is niet dat we niet weten of snappen wat we moeten doen, we doen het vaak gewoon niet..... #verzuchting

I'm feeling better today. I woke up knowing that our men's and women's teams played with all their heart for our country.
The USA teams woke up and Trump is still their president.

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

No family as houseguests this weekend. The wee one is back at his mother's place and the grand-dog is back with my daughter. I have no plans apart from the usual weekend chores. Husband is feeling somewhat better so I'm hoping we might even be able to go for a small amble on Sunday and have a coffee together.

@… Shiny!
Are you just following the reference circuit from the J1772:2001 spec?
Aka, this is a handful of voltage-drop resisters (and one diode) in the CP-PE loop on the kettle-side, and switching one more in for ready/boiling?
Did you bother with any PWM signalling?

I know that following a hashtag is part of the Mastodon protocol itself, but since I'm in @… the majority of the time - it feels like it would be cool to:
- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"
mechanism (maybe the ask part is configurable? maybe the client could also just handle it when next it runs?)
I hit this time and time again for moment in time events where during the thick of it, I'm invested and interested - conferences, world news, etc - but after which there's no more signal in the hashtag and it's just detritus putting load on a server somewhere.
Ideally this is something that should be in the protocol itself, but it feels like similar to quote replies that @… could bring a better user experience in advance of adoption of something like that
