I think the intent is solid.

But using curation by someone else in an attempt to solve the problem of overwhelming malaise in one's news feed just won't "scale" (sorry for using that valley buzzword). How much can any entity curate on a day-to-day basis? How does one decide what's actually worthy? Didn't we see this before in the early web when Yahoo thought it could categorize everything? Can we trust _anybody_ (other than ourselves) to white-list what we see?

As a twitter user, I've found using the "muted words" feature to be somewhat helpful, my list is _very_ long and includes not only the people and issues I despise (president cheeto-satan, etc), but also their opposition which I generally agree with. Yeah, it's "leaky", every once in a while I get mug shot of somebody I'd rather not see, but it does mitigate the never ending stream of despair.

In general, I think individuals would do better to limit their news feeds by themselves, either through the discipline of sticking to trusted sources, or by more draconian measures of filters. Cable news, of course, is a no-go dumpster-fire.
I can't speak to Postman specifically, because I barely use it enough for it to make a difference. But in a more general sense, I tend to prefer <thing> in a browser over <thing> but in its own window. It means one fewer program filling my taskbar.

I have been thinking about this too, and posed an idea some time ago, to the Humane Tech Community [0], named "Turning the Weapon Around" [1].

The gist is to use our existing social media channels, that generally - through their algorithms - reinforce negative sentiments and divisiveness (because that keeps us engaged best, as Max Stossel explains very well in his recent Medium article [2]) to create a network of people that do the opposite: Post, share, like and comment on positive news.

This would work best if it were supported by an app that faciliates this. Our community is thinking about such app, a decentralized one, which we'll use for our crowdsourced Humane Tech Awareness program.

> Marketing and enterprise sales folks travel a lot on the company dime

Yes, my bad. I just meant at my employer; we've invested heavily in telepresence, so only the bigwigs here get to travel with any regularity. And I was really trying to say without regular travel you won't end up with a meaningful status. For example United has a raft of tiers so unless you're [1] 1K or Global Services [2] you're literally not at the front of the queue for anything. Even their "Group 1" / "Group 2" boarding system meant to speed things up has a giant asterisk that reads "except 1K/GS, they go before anyone else."

[1] I'm using the colloquial "you" here to really mean "one" which sounds very stiff and formal to me. I don't literally mean you.

User registry can scaled however you want it to be. It is simply the service that manages user accounts, passwords, permissions, and of course issues the JWT tokens. Equally it can be a horizontally scaled micro service.
How do you want to use it? On your android phone you can just get an app like Maps.me, or OSMAnd.

Lead is perfectly natrual - early pewter itself can give enough to be outright lethal. Nature is full of well hidden dangers.

It brings to mind a thing about ancients - occasionally they would build a city in a location that would be very bad if they had sufficient geology to know that say a massive eruption would eventually kill them all or the whole shelf will eventually fall off into the sea. Their neighbors come across the their utter destruction and wonder what they did to anger the gods into eradicating them completely or if they already had horrible relations figured they totally deserved it. It brings to mind a dark joke that the gods really hate bad geology in settlement location.

I am reminded of one Minioan city and what archaeological evidence suggested - usually one villainizes their foes. They had their evil downplayed - there was evidence they would demand adolescent boys and girls for human sacrifice from their subjects. A gas erruption killed many of them shortly before an invading army of their revolting subjects arrived and turned what would have probably been a battle they would lose to one they won by showing up.

Compared to the minotaur myth where a king's love of beauty of a bull he promised to sacrifice in honor of a god who gave him the sign of his worth to rule they are downright sympathetic and even their crimes were justified and made tragic even with the added monster and bestiality.
And of course it's fine to block connections you don't recognize, or to whitelist connections in the first place. But I maintain that within a network of devices you own, the solution to untrustworthy devices on your network is to use more trustworthy devices, not to weaken internet standards for everyone else.
Not yet. Some software I use are not upgraded yet. And I have still to find how to sign gdb to make it work on Mojave.

That’s literally how we get all our food anyways. Even the “organic” crops we grow today have been a product of intensive artificial selection by humans.

If it's a business model that worked for them with SmugMug then why not? Flickr has been decaying for years, it's about time someone turned it into a viable business again.
They are not customers if they don't pay.
Prosperous for whom? There are people who are struggling to make ends meet, have their houses dispossessed, can't get steady jobs or afford housing, in student debt they can't pay, facing racism and violence from the state now and segregation in the recent past so its a matter of individual experiences and perspectives.

There are entire countries in the middle east that have been destroyed with millions dead, millions of refugees, families and infrastructure destroyed and set back a hundred years without consequences. And more are threatened as we embrace this new 'violence free' world.

On one side there are sweeping claims without evidence of the world getting 'better'. These kind of wide assertions would need a lot more data points and discussion by historians, economists and sociologists to get to some kind of 'truth' that is not propaganda.

Fortunately there are detailed works by academics like Piketty, Stiglitz and others with real data on stagnant wages and inequality over 40 years, on how gains are going to a small minority worldwide for those who are interested. Some may want to feel better because the current system favours them and that's perfectly valid. But sweeping claims about improvements sound as credible as the trillion dollar sv elite wanting to solve the worlds problems while failing to address the homelessness in their backyard.
This is a problem with almost any online 'space' - everything sticks around forever. You can go left from anyone's Facebook profile picture and see probably the first picture they uploaded to Facebook. Snapchat's USP was that it didn't (not publically) keep stuff around.

I think there's a happy middle ground somewhere were I can set an expiration time on anything I post to such a platform (e.g. Facebook/Twitter) so that it goes private after that time - e.g. a year. It wouldn't even harm the bottom line, since all the money is in new content, and I'd still have a private archive of photos if I ever wanted to download them again.

All this is moot for me since I don't use services like this at all, but I think there's an opportunity for a company to get this right.
Negative connotation, try telling your partner their attractiveness has stagnated if it has stayed the same.

A fairer way would be to state the iPhone sales have simply not grown.

Ask: Will coding ever be made redundant?
Some friends of mine (mechanical engineers) once asked me (software engineer) if I was worried about my career in the software industry, as they were certain that apps are just made in drag and drop editors and people didn't need to code any more... Thus programming was becoming redundant.

This seemed ridiculous at the time (still does) but I sometimes wonder if code will ever be made obsolete? what could replace it?

After looking at countless graphical implementations of programs and dealing with the frustration of GUI builders, I just can't see CODE ever going away. To me code is the essence of automation, the logic and brains of a system. It would appear you could replace everything else but that...
As someone who recently worked on a spring project for the first time, it's pretty clear what magic we're talking about. I can't look at the code and know what the application does without first learning the meaning of a ton of different annotations and the behaviors connected with them. Annotations and the associated code are complex. Now that I understand what they all do, it's easy to reason about the app, but when I run it my mental model is still:

1. I launch the app

2. Spring does a bunch of stuff I only vaguely understand and can't understand from looking at the code

3. My actual code starts running

On top of that, all the spring stuff makes the memory footprint and startup time awful.
I can't offer any help, but following because the study seems very interesting.
Induction cookers don't transfer heat to anything other than the dialectric pan. The pan itself would have to transfer heat to the sheet bellow it, and I doubt Lexan would be particularly conductive.
Compared to what? Sure, if the alternative was stasis where the majority of humanity was stuck in abject poverty, we would preserve the world’s ecosystems, but humanaity would be mostly miserable (and population would probably shrink violently and dramatically).

Meanwhile capitalism has also been gradually eradicating extreme poverty - over a billion lives in the last 20+ years. https://amp.economist.com/leaders/2013/06/01/towards-the-end...

Is that worth the price? I don’t know. Self preservation and advancement seems to be our thing.

I can agree that capitalism has massive, terrible problems. But these sorts of essays tend not to be an argument, they are a supposition laced with unjustified certainty, with the fig lead covering the suggested solution being some form of collectivism. Humanity’s large scale experiments in that regard were not environmental paradises either, though - arguably far worse than capitalist democracies!

One might assume it’s possible to find a third way. It will be very hard. It will take a long time. It’s a conversation worth having. But a large part of the West is in denial that there is even a problem. I don’t think that’s a capitalism problem, that’s a humanity problem.
Patek Philippe or nothing!
FWIW, this is something U2F somewhat solves. There is still the following exhaustive list of problems:

1. Education for and purchase of U2F keys
2. Key loss recovery mechanism
3. Key stolen defense (you can't just rely on the U2F key alone, there must be a pw or other type of second factor)
4. Widespread browser & device support (without it, a user/pass is required as a backstop)

Nevertheless, it is progress.

Wow. Not just about AI - he's consistently insightful in that conversation, and demonstrates a systems-level mindset that one might even describe as hacker-esque...

"Part of what makes us human are the kinks. They’re the mutations, the outliers, the flaws that create art or the new invention, right? We have to assume that if a system is perfect, then it’s static. And part of what makes us who we are, and part of what makes us alive, is that we’re dynamic and we’re surprised."

Hell of a quote.
Because most of the R&D that Qualcomm does (and as a fabless, IP is their real business) ends up on Android phones, while Apple pays the biggest slice.

Therefore, they are getting their chips from Intel.

Apple doesn't have anything to do with Qualcomm anymore, they get the package from Intel.

Qualcomm can battle Intel in court if they want. Good luck for them...
I know you know it says roarroadroad but to me it looks foreign. When I zoom in I see this as great:

https://imgur.com/a/g8q4WhB

And if Kopec in the lower center were the name of a street, I think it's great that it's written there.

The only thing missing is the red dots, so instead of roadroadroadroad it said road·road·road·road (by the way you might wonder why I made the dots red in my example: it's so the eye can just focus on the red dots to sparsely get the road's path.)

I just don't see the issue at all. It's way better, at that zoom level, to have to use my human ability to notice and ignore patterns and ignore noise while concentrating on what I want, than to use two fingers to try to zoom in enough for the map to place the names. I just don't see the issue with the view you presented. It looks great!
Same. This is also why I avoid credit cards.

The copy paste is bad indeed. But for me it was the first time I saw the difference between what I want and what I need in software. Apple was definitely to late with adding it to their iOS and has not been active enough in providing proper alternatives to copy and pasting like I mention above. Although I'm somewhat of an Apple fanboy (no iphone btw), they really disappointed me with this.

But with most things people hate change and will often not adopt to new things. The famous non Henry Ford quote comes to mind: If you asked people what they want they would wanted a faster horse (and not a car).

I think I'm just sour Apple didn't seize their opportunity to provide the proper alternate solutions for copy paste (before/alongside with it) when they had the chance.

I don't know what the current state on iOS is, but on android you often have context buttons (dial, navigate) next to copy/paste buttons when you select a address or phone number.

Twitter has the same problem that reddit, facebook, youtube, etc does. Journalists and the media want to dominate it.

Why is twitter so terrible today? Because there are so many toxic journalists on it.

https://medium.com/@Haje/who-are-twitter-s-verified-users-af...

Same thing with reddit. What happened to reddit? A publication company bought it and journalists are desperately trying to turn it into their propaganda platform.

Who is leading the charge against facebook and google? Journalists and news companies. Why? Because they want preferential treatment on these platforms and want to turn them into their fiefdoms.

The real question isn't why twitter is bad. It's why journalists, news companies, etc are so toxic. Why is journalism today no different than political party evangelism? Every news organization and journalist sound like political advocates and the mouthpiece of a political party. Why are so many journalists and news organizations working so hard to help one party or the other? I thought journalism and news was supposed to be about facts, not political advocacy?

It's strange how these journalists loved social media when their political candidate of choice won. Now, they are whining endlessly about social media. They are as much, if not more, of a problem than twitter or any other social media platform.

Apple won’t view the maps as “done”. I met a member of their maps team during one of their visits to Toyota. To them, maps are a living, breathing entity that is always changing. When sourcing local data providers they prefer someone that will be updating & maintaining the map rather than just licensing it.
Oh wow, is that where the term "Kessler Run" comes from in Star Wars?

If I recall, the Kessler run involved having to go through an asteroid field in the recent Solo movie.

For fans, you may recall that in the original Star Wars Han says: "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It's the ship that made the Kessler Run in less than twelve parsecs."

This got ridiculed because parsec is a unit of distance not time, but in the new movie they show that the run can be made longer or shorter.

Are there any Happy Stuff TV channel(s) that I can program as defaults? Knitting, kittens, panda bears, food, travel, museum tours, antiques, etc.

An easy default channel for those people who use TV as company, background noise. (For examples: my mom, her boyfriend, my uncle.)

The default channels (Fox, CNN, local news, crime shows) are horrifying. Fear, outrage, gore, drama, political ads.

No wonder the boomers are acting insane.

Of course, I change the channel to some happy stuff, if I can find it. Which delights my mom and her boyfriend. But such programming is not 24/7. When the segment is over, cue channel surfing, and it's right back to horror show.

I don't have TV, so don't know how to Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV. (I've been reading up, but haven't experimented yet.)

Tangent: I just discovered my mom's been paying $250/mo for triple play. Outrageous. But given the givens, I'd happily pay $100/mo for curated commercial free Happy Stuff TV cable channel package.

I believe the extension can be used in conjunction with the app to let the app use the cookies in your browser session, but to be honest, I've only seen others do it, and it was back in the day when Postman was just a "Chrome App" and not a detached application. Maybe that functionality exists in the new Postman app without the chrome extension.
I can see that, but for me it's more:

- Dork with code/ routes in one window and/or dorking around with the front end code.

- Postman (the stand alone program) in another window to check what the return from the server really is or what the API is doing now.

So I've got it on it's on dedicated space (not all the time but often enough).
