He's probably having the string theory landscape in mind. In string theory the properties of most things are explained by the shape of the extra dimensions, but there are so many possible shapes that string theorists believe all of them exist and we find ourselves in one that is compatible with life.
What a weird coincidence that this would really help let's say a company that used google.com as well as google.co.uk and doubleclick.com as their "first party" set. Good that W3C stopped it.
For 90% of this stuff “discoverability” isn’t a problem anymore, I’ve already crossed the learning curve of the command line and I just think in terms of the available command line programs. For the next 5%, I tend to pipe a command like find or ls to a file and then use vim to quickly make a shell script that does what I need.

I don’t know if it’s more efficient, objectively, but this just is the workflow that matches how I think.
Git handles binary files just fine without LFS. The point of LFS is to reduce the size of repository clones, by not cloning the full history of large files.

You're exactly right about the difference, and I'd add that bias against SEO is dangerous in the second case because the good kind of SEO is absolutely critical to the success of most sites.

Catering to the user and offering content / services that people want should be the #1 priority, but if Google doesn't index your site properly then the people who want it will never see it.

That's crazy. I haven't rebooted my home Windows 7 desktop in forever. Even when I install new graphics card drivers (AMD pumps out a new one every month) my screen flashes for moment and I keep working. The installer recommends I reboot but it's never at a good time.
It's a U-series CULV CPU. Intel's mainstream chip series have actually been going down in performance, as Intel tries to "recuperate" large gains in power consumption levels against ARM in big gulps with each generation (it can't do that just from new nodes and IPC optimizations, so it also lowers default clock speeds).

Now Intel is pushing even lower-performance chips than the U-series (the Y-series/Core M) for the mainstream, and as we've seen even Apple is going for that in the new Macbook Air.

I wonder if they won't be pushing a 500 MHz (base speed) 3W TDP "Z-series" in a couple of years for most mainstream notebooks (while still charging ~$150-$200 per chip).
> Low-to-moderate alcohol use has been shown to have significant health benefits over the long-term.

There is a well publicised study that claims that, but it's been pretty heavily criticised. It turns out that only women over 65 get benefits from moderate drinking. Everyone else needs to restrict themselves to light drinking to get the benefits.

That's an important distinction because few people know how much they actually drink. People tend to under-estimate the number of glasses they have, and under-estimate the size of the glasses, and under estimate the amount of alcohol in each glass.

You've said that 3 beers produces a de-stress result. It's not clear what you mean by "strong" - 5%? 8%? 10%? Three pints of beer at 5% ABV are 2.8 units each, about 8.5 units for all three. This is no where near risky drinking (unless you do it more than twice a week) but it is wrong to suggest that it is a healthy activity.

Alcohol is not just a problem for those who start yumg or who've had abusive childhoods. Alcohol is a causal factor in many deaths and accidental injuries; alcohol is involved in many suicide attempts; alcohol is involved in a lot of violence. It is wrong to suggest that all those people started drinking young or had abusive backgrounds.

I'll add that I'm looking since forever for a 16+/17'' *thin" laptop (currently using a Lenovo P71, which is a brick) - for some reason nowadays there are hundreds of 13/14/15'' laptops which are thin, but 17'' are always huge - the only thin one that exists, as far as I know, is the LG Gram 17, which is not available with my country's keyboard layout (Swiss German).

Very important things for me would be the keyboard (normal layout, include insert&delete&pgup/down&home&end-keys arrowkeys should have a bump or similar to be located easily without watching, ideally as well a number pad - the one of Lenovo is excellent) and the resolution (FullHD not good enough on a 17'' - must be something higher, max 4k, ideally IPS). About the rest: normal CPU (at least 4 threads), normal RAM (8GB probably not enough, better 16GB), normal storage (1 normal SSD/NVME), maybe an ethernet connection, no separate/discrete GPU, no cd/dvd, 2 USB connectors, no superfast/superhot CPU in any case something which does not make the fan spin up often, does not have to be superlight.

Cheers & good luck :)
A recent Reuters story claimed they couldn't issue shares without releasing preliminary earnings data per SEC regs. Apparently, they had too much data on the previous quarter. They chose not to release the prelim earnings. I wonder if this has anything to do with the CFO being ousted.
Extended hours vary a lot between brokers. Not all offer premarket. Aftermarket tends to be 1h after close for the vast majority.
Love this idea. For the folks in the comments so far who are uncomfortable with the combination of "index" and "picking stocks", I think that's unfair. This is obviously a service for relatively sophisticated folks who (1) want ETFs that don't exist, or (2) want to make minor changes to existing ETFs, or (3) don't want to deal with the ETF fees/overheads for whatever reason (although presumably Enombic will have fees too).

Here's an example that came to mind:

If you were convinced psychedelic medicine is going to be huge as a sector, but also feel it's too early to pick winners/losers (and you dislike the expense overhead of PSYK) - great, make your own ETF. You still have sector risk but not 'stock picking risk'.

FYI - this is a great real example, but assumes Enomics can handle the Neo exchange (in Canada, since that's where most of the psych stocks are these days). Like, someone should post this over at /r/shroomstocks for real. :)

I recently bought a new TV and did a little searching for dumb TVs before buying. It’s really hard to find a dumb TV. I learned that you can in fact buy a commercial TV that is dumb which seems like a good option.

I ended up going with a smart enabled Samsung TV and have not enabled the TV to access wifi. It wants me to agree to terms and conditions whenever I pull up the main menu. I’ve learned to ignore it but it has asked at least once without good reason to access wifi.

Things are actually starting to get better. There was some spectrum auctioned last year and recently a number of start-up carriers are starting to pop up. The government also lifted some foreign ownership limits on the carriers. Give it a few years for people's contracts to end and we should have a healthy telecom market.

Flexibility and cheap calls from abroad.

I don’t know much about the price structure in the US but in Germany there are cheaper options if you buy just the SIM. That phone must be payed somehow, that’s why you pay more every month when you have a subsidized phone.

Now, that in itself wouldn’t be so bad, but your choices are seriously limited with a iPhone. What if I don’t need hundreds of minutes but want a real data flat rate? That’s not possible with an iPhone.

And you can’t just pop in some cheapo prepaid SIM when traveling, you are forced to shoulder the roaming costs. That’s maybe not so important in the US but seriously sucks in Europe.

Since the costs are the same – either higher monthly costs and a subsidized phone or lower monthly costs and a unsubsidized phone – I would always rather buy the unsubsidized phone.
Like it or not, the headset girl has turned into the universal symbol for "here's how to contact customer support". It's not cool, and it's not creative -- but it's a very effective way to be sure that people (who can't be bothered to read) find your support number.

Even more than that, it's a quick way to show that you have phone support, which can boost customer confidence even if the customer doesn't need to use it.

I wonder what it must be like living with the knowledge that your ongoing fame is so dependent on friendly leaks and peaks from a patron known for ire-based reversals of largesse. His career keeps him prone to something like Stockholm syndrome.

At this point, how many months or years away from this dependency would he need, before we could start trusting that he is giving us independent opinions that are truly from him; not things that are, as likely as not, what he needs to believe.

I think this is a great observation, aka too many chefs. My criticism of Swift, is that it has become a “kitchen-sink” language over the past seven years (I’ve been using it since the first public beta), like C++. So many features have been added that it’s gone from being a “I can keep this language in my head” language to a “I have to routinely lookup how this thing works even though I program in Swift regularly” language. It’s gotten too big IMHO and could have used a good editor instead of design by committee. The recent function builder and property wrapper additions (added it seems because the SwiftUI folks wanted them) are particularly emblematic of how it has become less readable.

The recent language additions have made me much less enthusiastic about it because like C++ it’s becoming a language where each person uses their own subset and style, instead of having a common elegance.

Teachers wield a lot of power. I noticed this when I was teaching, and see it more now that I'm tutoring. I can give a student something that will help him or her to understand something, but if the teacher didn't assign it s/he may or may not take it seriously. They don't even go to the freely accessible web site that the book references unless assigned.

I don't know how the hell I'm going to get them to pay for mine. They will pay for me to tutor them, though, so I know there is a way.

Some people have a gene that causes them to metabolize caffeine much more quickly than others. I found this out by taking the 23andMe DNA test and discovering that I have this gene, which makes sense as it seems that I'm less affected by caffeine than others (although I make up for it by drinking more).

What, no mention of Pizza Hacker? http://www.thepizzahacker.com/

:-)

I've tried Pizza Hacker's pizzas a couple of times. They're quite good; but just the fact that there you are, on a sidewalk, getting freshly-made pizza out of a Weber-grill-oven, makes it all worthwhile.

Plus he has "hacker" in his name, which must count for something. ;-)
>Newspapers would need to be subscription-only or patronage-based.

So be it.

>Distributors become kingmakers. If the incumbent's product is in the grocery stores and the upstart can't advertise, there's no path to entry apart from winning over a distributor.

>Niche products become nonviable. If you can't reach out to your customers, they have to reach out to you. That requires they know (a) they have the problem you solve, (b) you exist and (c) you solve the problem they have. That only happens organically for problems with scale.

Lots of speculation here, as if word of mouth didn't exist. Why is it so necessary that a brand tells me to buy things? Don't people have other ways to reach out to their audience that doesn't invade literally every public sphere, from billboards to websites?
But you don't need a Peloton bike to use their app...I bought a non-Peloton bike and pay $14.30/month to subscribe to the Peloton app (which I run on the big screen TV I already have in the room with the bike)

I don't need or want any interactive features that the bike provides, especially at a $25 premium to what I pay now.

does come with a 24 inch (Android) tablet.

When I bought my bike, I saw that 24 inch screen built-in to the Peloton as a drawback, my bike has a simple 4 line LCD bike computer, which I expect to run indefinitely, but it never needs software updates and if it breaks, it costs $200 to replace. And I don't have to plug it into the wall, it runs for a year on AA batteries.

I link my bike to my watch so have all of my workouts in once place -- spinning bike, running, outdoor biking, etc.
Modifying a single byte in the license file means the license is no longer what it purports to be. Don’t do it.

The license file needs to be in the root of the repo.

The first thing many developers who have been bitten by this in the past do is run all the boilerplate files like licenses through diff. Some probably have it hooked to every git clone request.

Firefox+NoScript+PiHole user here. Once the pages on your browser start rendering at twice the speed they normally render on other people's devices because you block all the analytics and ads crap, you never look back.

And even though I don't use any analytics on my websites (heck, some of them don't even run a line of JS), I still get plenty of valuable (and privacy-aware) insights about user experience.

Web server logs are a source of user activity that has been almost forgotten. You can infer a lot of information (from what page a user came, to which page they navigated next etc.) from the logs alone. All you have is the IP address of a browser, which might as well be spoofed/proxied, but do you really need anything else than an ephemeral and loose user identifier if your goal is just to make sure that users spend time on your website? Why would we delegate such a simple task to a company that pollutes and slows down our web pages with their bloated analytics and isn't transparent with us about what they do with that data?

FTA :

> Most consumer electronics devices are disposable one-offs by design. The single best way to reduce the environmental impact of electronics is to make them last longer.

Yes. And I really don't see why a framework PC can help with that. If you want to make them last longer, then make hard drive that last longer, motherboards that last longer, etc. Also, make sure the user needs stay the same for longer (for example, as a Linux user, my needs have been fullfilled by my PC for about 12 years now, I just added a bit more RAM (4 gigs) and a new low cost gfx card; notice that upgrading my Debian never resulted in more hardware needs)

> In addition to enabling longevity, we’re focused on improving sustainability across the life of our products.

Just don't produce them. It'd be more helpful if those brains would help big companies to do things better. No, instead, they think they're smarter, and that being smarter, somehow, translate into money making.

> The Framework Laptop is made of 50% post consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum and an average of 30% PCR plastic.

Count how many grams that is. Compare that to a car, which you change about as often as a mobile phone or laptop.

> Our packaging is fully recyclable with no single-use plastics,

And who's going to take care of those plastic. Me ? Just don't use plastic (and if you're so smart, then figure out a way to not need plastic in packaging)

> and all of our product shipments are carbon offset.

Yeah, and what about the other part of the iceberg, ie, the carbon produced while producing your laptops ?

I'm all for ecology, reuse, etc. But at some point, if you're smart, you must realize that all of that is pixie powder.

As I said, I'd much prefer :

- if hardware producer would guarantee a 20 years+ longevity
- would reduce the number of form factors (so we can have less production lines)
- would optimize for energy consumption (hey, my washing machine comes with a nice card explaining how much energy/water it consumes)
- would create less market segments. We don't need a new CPU model every year. Look, my kid changes its game console (not exactly ecological either) every 5 years, so it's perfectly doable.
- OS producer would make sure OS upgrade doesn't require hardware upgrade

All of that is way more political than technological.
Caddy is cool but it has a separate 33mb executable for each operating system. Redbean is a 128kb executable that runs on all platforms so it has fewer moving parts and is 1584x tinier. All the convenience of being able to "just add your assets to the zip executable" wouldn't have been feasible if we needed to repeat that process n times for each operating system.
It does not. The registry is completely separate from the code editor.
Won't this allow anyone with write access to the source code repository to publish a package? Seems just one extra layer of indirection.
