Isn’t this the default behaviour in Safari though? That’s a browser that’s used by a lot of mobile phones, and it doesn’t seem to be problematic enough for it to be changed.

I think this is what Safari does at least, because the Google website tells me to hold and copy the links instead of just holding it like on my Android phone.

Yes, im in the US. I have no idea about brands, every time is a different type or hybrid. I can't tell the difference but usually i choose some hybrid of sativa and indica. Names are funny and don't pay much attention to them: sour diesel, purple haze, berry whatever... Due to how little i smoke I can't tell the difference between the different brands. What i know is that it is very potent and I stay away from smoking too much. It happened accidentally and wasn't very pleasant. I buy $40 worth and it lasts me for 6 to 8 months. I use a one hitter that i fill halfway and make sure not to inhale too much. I've sort of learned my dose. Good luck.
> I'm a bit worried about social engineering there. "Oh, it's a bunch of gibberish" may pass muster with a support rep (in both of your approaches), leading to compromise.

I can confirm that this is the case. I provided a gibberish answer to a security question for Blizzard. I didn't bother to write it down, relying on not forgetting my password.

I never forgot my password, but Blizzard shut down my account anyway because I was making payments with a card that was not listed as the account's "primary payment method". (The card I was using was listed on the account, but another card was the "primary payment method".) When I had to call support and answer my security question, the answer I'd filled in just meant that I wasn't required to provide the correct answer.

If you want a mavic, just buy a mavic, building something with this level quality / reliability is not worth the effort.

The advantage to building your own is that you get a different type of quad -- a racing quad which feels more like flying a porsche (feels like a race car) than an mini-van (e.g. mavic, reliable but super fun to fly).

If you want to build a racer, rctimer has some of the best kits (high quality parts, well thought out design). Here's an old build guide from my blog, you would want to get a newer kit with an omnibus-based flight controller, but the idea is the same: https://nathan.vertile.com/blog/2016/04/24/rctimer-u210-mini...

Also, if you're just learning to fly, you probably want to learn acro/rate mode (which is full manual mode) on something smaller first, like this maybe: https://nathan.vertile.com/blog/2017/03/31/betaflight-micro-...
HAL from 2001 seems to be the most grounded in reality, as you could actually sense some how some of its advanced capabilities might be implemented even today, not to mention Marvin Minsky and IBM were advisors to Kubrick. While I really liked TARS and CASE from interstellar for their "settings" feature and for being non anthropomorphic in form.
What astounds me is just how wrong some of the "intelligence" and reporting about al qaeda in Afghanistan was, and how that fact hasn't been addressed to this day. Officials went on the news saying that there were these huge bunkers in the mountains filled with all kinds of crazy shit. And ridiculous numbers of soldiers hiding out. None of that was real, the reality was a small handful of forces hanging out in completely unimproved rugged terrain. But no correction was issued, no critique of the government officials who perpetrated these ridiculous claims happened, we've learned nothing.

Anti-vax and especially flat earth are very, very fringe movements in the United States. Most Americans probably do not know anyone who believes the earth is flat.

That was back in the day when money was real. The current national debt is $21.3 trillion dollars, and there's absolutely 0 expectation that it will ever be paid off or realistically do anything except exponentially increase. Instead we'll just go further and further into debt and paying off old debts with more new debt. Outside of governments, this sort of money management has a special term... The point is that even if we ignore all revenue based spending, another $1.5 trillion of debt hardly changes anything at all.

Roman soldiers by contrast were paid in real money with value based on the inherent value of the materials it was made of. That also meant that the governments were also forced to give heed to the cost of their actions. And so needless wars or other expenses could and did destroy nations. But now money means nothing and can be created out of thin air. Its only value is in other countries agreeing to see it as valuable. So long as the USD guarantees access to oil (... an important factor many forget when thinking about our real motivations in the mideast), and we have a strong enough military and political influence to 'encourage' the persistence of the USD as the world reserve currency, it is basically impossible for our country to go bankrupt. And I do not see this as a good thing, as it also means there's absolutely no fiscal deterrence to reckless spending, and war is incredibly expensive.

Because different people are productive with different tools.

I think your reasoning is completely backwards on this: it’s not expensive to support many different sets of tooling. No, what’s expensive is paying a lot of money for people who can be very productive for you, but then preventing them from giving you that productivity due to poor tooling. When the poor tooling has been standardized, your good developers are heading to the exits.
>Most eBay sellers also provide free shipping, regardless of your order size

Quite a while ago eBay switched to charging final value fees on shipping. Previous to that people would list items for $.01 plus $8 shipping, which was pretty obnoxious to weed through. With that change it ended up making sense for eBay sellers to just bundle the cost of shipping into the price, which ends up usually being a better experience for the customer, because they know what they are going to pay right away.
>The more details you articulate, the less effective this system becomes.

That statement is the insight that was missing for me.

It's correct, but for someone of the belief that things that work magically, necessarily also fail magically, it's hard to place faith in.

> No you cannot spend $20 billion and solve homelessness or poverty. You probably can't even make a double digit % dent in homelessness or poverty for a single year with $20 billion, even with 100.0% efficiency of payout.

Solving poverty altogether is out of the question with only $20 billion to work with, but since you mentioned homelessness - if we assume there are 1.5 million homeless in the United States, $20 billion would provide $1,100 per month per homeless individual for a year. (Assuming 100% efficiency of payout)

What am I missing in this consideration?

(Also worth mentioning that a Housing and Urban Development official, in 2012, estimated the cost to end homelessness at $20 billion.)

Most of the startups and small companies I’ve worked for hired many more interns for non-tech positions than for technical ones. Non-technical departments are at least as under-resourced as technical ones and just as desperate to have more hands on deck.

Most interns end up doing a lot of time consuming stuff that requires some basic understanding of the business but not much skill or experience - like researching sales or PR leads and filling out spreadsheets with that info.

Some startups have interns run their social media campaigns or fill in when customer service load is heavy. I’ve also seen an intern tasked with writing first drafts of blog posts and white papers that a founder had been meaning to get to for months but couldn’t find the time.

Wasn't it the cotton industry lobbying against industrial hemp?
One of the many problems with that is that the cost of the soldiers and military bases only goes up and at breakneck pace. The latest defense spending bill came with an increase of $85 billion. It'll go up again next year.

When I think about that increase it hurts to remember that when Bernie Sanders proposed free college for everyone people said the $60-70 billion price tag was too high. Where would we get the money? Then no one blinked when we increased defense spending by an even greater amount.
Argue with your customers
A lot of people really believe that marijuana is some horrible substance that will ruin you. My dad was one of those people and I believed him until I tried it in my 20’s and saw that it’s a vice akin to drinking at its worst, and often very positive.

I think some people had hidden racist or imperialist intentions and so found what they could hate about blacks and hippies and spread the lies. (Edit: obviously overt racist intentions have affected minorities forever.) I assume much of it was malicious and conscious and much was genuine belief that came from horrible racism. Then those people made television shows and news stories about how marijuana makes you dumb (conveniently diffusing any intellectual currency hippies had). People like my dad saw the propaganda and believed it wholeheartedly, and then I did too. So far removed from the 1950’s shows like Dragnet that laid it on thick, and having grown up in a different place full of friendly pot smoking hippies, I had a different experience and saw the lies for what they were.

But propaganda is started by those who want influence and believed by those who are unable to see through the lies.

I agree that it is absurd that we cannot study weed legally. At the end of the day when it comes down to illegal studies, it all comes down to risk tolerance: Is an individual willing to lose their ability to practice academic science (in that they can't get a university position, can't get federal funding, and may have to absorb a felony) in order to perform a study that the government says is not ok? For most people including me, that answer is no. How you choose to proceed is up to you, but I will tell you right now that embarking on such a study will end poorly.
Australia has gone 27 years without a recession.

There's a big difference between "sure, we'll never totally get rid of them" and "do you want them every 5 years or every 50 years?" or "do you want 25% unemployment or 10% unemployment?"

It is overly fatalistic to pretend they can't be changed in any way whatsoever and there's no difference between different periodicities and scale of upheavals.
> What if people don't want your particular kind of social contract?

That's what having many different communities, each of which can choose its own particular social contract, is for.

> What one sees of anarchists on the street in 2018, is that they not only ostracize, they do much worse.

I'm not sure I would call such people "anarchists" in the sense that, for example, David Friedman is an "anarchist" (at least in books like The Machinery Of Freedom). If "anarchist" just means somebody who claims they should be able to do whatever they want, then that's not the kind of anarchist I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone who understands that, even in the absence of government, there are still huge benefits to be gained from social cooperation, and that people therefore have strong incentives to regulate their own actions to facilitate social cooperation. The only real difference is that, in the absence of government, all such cooperation is voluntary; nobody can be forced to cooperate with someone else if they don't want to. Which, note carefully, means that just taking someone's stuff without their consent, the vandalism and violence you describe, is not voluntary social cooperation. And citizens of a functioning anarchy will resist it, with force if necessary.

I've already said, in response to other posters, that a functioning anarchy of this sort would be very, very difficult to get to from our current state. But that's not a criticism of anarchy; it's a criticism of our current state, and of us humans for letting ourselves get into this state, where we have all kinds of problems with governments violating our rights but we can't just stop having them because nobody really understands how to do voluntary social cooperation without a government.
I think we can both point to a lot of inefficiencies that need to be fixed, but given that local public schools essentially depend on the property value of the surrounding area to determine quality, I do think funding is an issue. I make the argument that the federal government should funnel shitloads more money to local schools.

I think we can have that while also auditing and cleaning up whatever ineffective messes money is being spent on by the doe now.

But notice, it doesn't affect random assets. You don't see people hoarding and speculating on cars to a ridiculous degree, because cars depreciate.

Likewise, with real estate, the actual improvement values depreciate over time. What can appreciate is the value of the land.

But there's other areas that see such influxes of cash desperately seeking a return, like venture capital, ponzi schemes, cryptocurrency, and so on. However, much of that is akin to gambling and the losing bets mainly just harm the losers of the bets.

With land speculation manias, and related natural resource speculation manias, everyone becomes a loser. Cost of living skyrockets, and so does the cost of new production and hiring.
> No idea what do to about the reviews, but the first step to the counterfeit goods problem is simple: once you've received X complaints about a counterfeit product, stop selling the product.

If you don't have an idea of how to solve the review problem, I'm not convinced you've thought through the "received X complaints about a counterfeit product" problem and your proposed solution. In your system, I could easily assault my competitors with counterfeit claims and get their products removed. This already happens with reviews and other sort of reports/returns.

> I do not smoke a lot since it would make me sick, paranoid, anxious.

I don't smoke much anymore but I ran into the same problem in my 20s, where I wouldn't smoke it ever because of paranoia/anxiety. I later learned this can be significantly tempered by finding the right strain and method of consumption.

By far the best, with the last negative side effects, I tried using CO2 shatter (in one of those disposable vape pens) recently for the first time and it was a far cleaner and more energetic experience than you find by smoking it. Vaping is definitely the way to go if you aren't just looking for a groggy 'high' and want a clear functional experience.

The other big factor is tolerance. Once you develop tolerance the anxiety and paranoia aren't nearly as strong and you simply get used to it. Then the experience is far more enjoyable.

Finally, don't consume too much. Nothing causes anxiety/paranoia than taking too much (like getting 'hammered' drunk is not a good idea).

Unlike alcohol there are a large varieties of experiences with marijuana possible, depending on how and what you smoke. It takes some experimenting and experience to find what works for you.
Of course there was a bunch of opposition. But IMHO it was contained to people who were willing to be "political", and then only in our social enclaves. The "average person" was somewhere between tacit acceptance and virtue signaling by putting "support the troops" stickers on their car - a great example of dog whistle politics.

Of course [0], promulgating that feeling of the "average person" is precisely one of the ways propaganda works.

[0] in retrospect for me personally.

Can't you go direct to a brand's site for shoes, if you already know what you want?

For marketplaces/browsing, there are sites like ASOS, Gilt, Yahoo! Japan, eBay, etc. You can also browse any department store's online section to find something you like, and then order straight from the brand.
I really think they don't care that much. For them what they do is take a 20% rip from the random sellers that appear on there and always side with the buyer in any case of counterfeit or misrepresented products. This is working great in the interim as they truly have nothing (monetarily) to lose like this. Customers get a full refund no questions asked, and often get to keep the knockoff. Amazon makes more money on marketplace than selling themselves.

But for someone like me, I don't want to gamble whenever I buy anything. I have had Prime from the very start and now I think I am not going to renew. I am sick of getting substandard products and lately with their private label shipping the delivery date/time has been completely arbitrary. I've done almost all of my shopping online my entire adult life, but now I am increasingly going to local stores as I have never received a fake, and now they compete on price.
The Rare Workers Who Thrive on Negative Feedback
You have 3 lanes, TODO, DOING, DONE.

Have a max of Work In progress that can be in the DOING lane based on size of team. Once that limit is hit, nothing else can move into the DOING lane, if other's are finished, they go help others until work starts moving into the DONE lane.

DONE means DONE, if it needs QA, Documentation, install script, whatever, it stays in DOING until it's truly DONE.
