If you don't drive every day, then if you ran a laptop all day on your battery you are stuck the next day. Of course, the answer is don't run a laptop all day.. but that just changes the variables a bit because if you want to stop somewhere a bit longer is there enough power now? Also, running engines is not great for charging batteries which need to float a while to get full. A solar panel can make a huge difference..

Everyone should choose for themselves of course, but once a day for three+ years is more than plenty to hinder proper REM sleep and start damaging your ability to handle those emotions that are contributing to your sense of stress.

This quote drew my attention:

“This book is about slavery, a false oppression narrative that equates having legitimately dangerous magical powers that kill people with being an oppressed minority, like a person of color. This whole story is absolutely repulsive.”

It immediately reminded me of Jemisin's "The Fifth Season", because that's pretty much the central plot device there: people with dangerous magical powers being discriminated against, out of fear, in ways that directly and obviously parallel racial discrimination of blacks in real world USA.

Except that book won Hugo for best novel in 2016.

So, what was actually so offensive about this book? I'm genuinely curious to see for myself now.
It was a liberal revolution, but not a social one. It definitely shifted the power and I think calling it a revolution is justified. A bit of a side note, but I wholeheartedly recommend https://www.revolutionspodcast.com it starts with the English revolution, then moves to the US, then back to Europe for the French Revolution. There are a lot of episodes on the revolutionary XIX century in Europe and how the “question” slowly changed from the political one to the social one.

>“This is one of the few ways that publishing has evolved into the 21st century, by having to listen to people’s immediate reaction to what they’re publishing,” she said.

I find it extremely sad that this is broadly phrased as something positive. Just consider how many great works of literature were publicly dammed and published regardless only to be redeemed decades or centuries later. Setting a precedent, even just a moral one, that public outcry should be considered when deciding on publishing is absolutely horrible.
(long time since I saw the movie) From what I'm reading here, the audience and characters don't know and aren't expected to know that.

The name is hard for them because it is foreign to them. To turn the name into a joke that they are 'never gonna work here anyway' explicitly links the racist prejudice against them to their name.

The name was probably especially ridiculous because they wanted to make the pun above, but the point is the racism surely, not the everyday humour in linking a foreign person's name to their non-employment?

> Bribery tends to be a crime because we haven't found a way to short circuit en masse the human tendency to submit to influence.

I specifically mentioned that they aren't innocent parties for this reason. Turns out accepting bribes (if that's what we're calling it) in public office is also a crime yet the focus here is on one side. Why?

> it's only the technicalities (i.e. Lyft is not a legislator) that differ

Yes, that's spin and it's a form of deflecting from the real issue which is that the state and city disagree (on the bill, on one side succumbing to lobbying, etc). The statement does not hold, specifically and as a whole; it needs to be made at who is really "attempting to pass" the bill. Who exerts the greatest control and why is the letter not aimed there? The question can only be asked so many ways, but sadly all this deflecting about bribery, technicalities, quality of rebuttal, etc here and by politicians prevent real answers that should be asked of the real lawmakers.
Pretty sad. She's hardly the one who needs punishing.

Dystopia, thy name is political correctness.
Assume there were powerful aliens Zondors who defeated humans fair and square. It turned out Zondors loves human meat. So they built human farms where they keep them in cages until they become teens with nice soft meat. They barely provide square feet per human, feed them nothing but corn, inject with all kind of hormones and so on. Then they take ripe humanity of the cage holding from the neck, cut them open while still they were still alive and screaming, harvest meat and cook it right in front of other caged humans in various different art forms and enjoy it while having some Zondorian entertainment. This happens years after years, decade after decade and millions of humans purely exist to be food for Zondors.

How do you feel now?

People bring that up all the time, but I can't really think of fainter "dark pattern" criticism than an optional email field. I bet nobody would even comment on it if it was actually required. Reddit should probably just go ahead and require it to eliminate the complaints.

Hell, I'm more ready to call it an easter egg than deception.
Stability is good, but not when it becomes an obstacle for advancing the state of art in OS development, as many cling to the ways of yore and we get CLI apps with coloured terminals as improvement or WinForms database frontends in bigger screens.
If you come to my house I'll happily call an ambulance for you. We have enough collective resources to treat the life-threatening illness of everyone within our borders, legally or not. We can worry about fixing immigration separately. Even when someone isn't a citizen, you should do your best to help people in reach not be sick. And this doesn't mean you have to give them an income for free.

And as a society-level thing it makes sense to fund with the general tax fund. Charging the countries of origin does sound like it should be attempted though!

Trying to fix every problem in the world is more fraught. We probably should be trying harder, but there are severe issues where throwing resources at a poor country invites corruption and can be worse than doing nothing at all.

You see record labels promoting new albumns on posters and billboards - with the call to action being to listen on Spotify. How can that make financial sense if they're not even getting a penny a stream?
Also the plot device sounds like the mutants in the Marvel universe being discriminated against.

I'm ok with ridiculous criticism, I hope that criticism is ridiculed as well.
I dont think the fifth season parallels racial discrimination of blacks in real world USA. It is really not the same nor history of that is the same. Jemisin learned from slave stories imo in terms how of how people in that situation think and feel, but not in how the slavery system works nor in how it came to be.

Nowadays startup ideas that revolve around users problem are the most popular ones.

Take Uber, for example, they had a simple idea, but since it solved people’s problem, it became famous. Also, you don’t necessarily have to launch a global business start small to try to come up with a solution that will help the local and then you can make it big if you want

for ideas I have to say now launching a business is easier then ever there are so many options now you can start a salon and allow people to book your services from apps, you can also start a logistics business or taxi service, etc

you can also get ideas for your business through this website: https://www.odtap.com/

So I can't profess to know much about PC/inclusive language (or whatever the kids call it these days), but:

The way I see it, is its an unwanted highlighting of an ethnic difference, in a non-inclusive way.

The same way that unsolicited comments on certain physical features of is giving unwanted attention to those features. Especially if those features are a sensitive subject (e.g. part of the sexual dimorphism).

Of course you can do it when you have the other persons trust, or invitation.

I barely ever use the Sonos app on either iOS or desktop. I just use Spotify or Apple Music and route music to Sonos from there, so not sure if you are correct. With AirPlay2 I only use the app to set up new speakers. So not sure if you are correct.

e: Most likely the desktop app has seen declining usage the last decade, which is why Sonos doesn't prioritize it.

Preemptive in this case means that only the state legislature can pass laws on this, and cities can't have bylaws on the subject. The declared intent is to ensure that some legislative subject is uniform throughout the state.
Our assistants get paid based on how long they've been with the service - after training period, they'd get paid anywhere from $2.50/hr - $5.00/hr (high end for some that work for our platform). Minimum wage in Philippines is ~$1.16 / hr which is typical for a lower paying job such as a personal assistant.

The average wage in Philippines is ~$2.50/hr. Keep in mind, this is including higher paying jobs such as engineers, doctors as well as higher wage areas (Manila) etc so we are paying VERY well, especially to the assistants in lower wage areas. We've heard that some government workers in the Philippines get paid less than $2 / hr, causing them to spend more than half of their wages on transportation.

Cost of living in Philippines ranges from ~$490 - $1060/month if you have to travel to work (main pain point we've heard from our assistants as many commutes are >4 hours a day) as transport costs ~$150/month due to inflation / gas prices. However, if they are able to work with us at home, their costs drastically are reduced (transport costs and decreased food costs) to ~$300 - $500.

I have chosen three books:

1. The first book I read that changed my view of my own mind, that is, taught me to "think about thinking", was Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I truly felt like my view of myself and the world I live in changed dramatically.

2. The second book that had a huge impact on me was Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky.

3. The third book has to be The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Alexander Solzhenitsyn (the abridged version by Edward E Ericson, Jr). When I mention this book, I meet a lot of people instantly debating the death toll numbers presented by Solzhenitsyn, but for me, the main point of the book is about complicity in the context of the Stalinist regime and complicity in evildoing more generally.
Who said you could only do things that make financial sense?

If you believe it does, then the answer can only be that the costs of the advertising are covered by revenue from other sources. A simple model is:

1. Taylor Swift advertises a new album, which everyone listens to for free on Spotify.

2. Taylor Swift is beloved by the people, who have all heard her album.

3. Taylor Swift makes a lot of money selling concert tickets.

It's hard to do step 3 when nobody knows or cares who you are.
Get an official name change, then reapply.

Turns out that usually bypasses most of these red flags, although it is expensive and a pain.
That seems like a restatement of the problem, but is worded like an explanation. So, I probably didn't word my post clearly and will try again:

Imagine two people at retirement age, who have each worked full careers at a similar skill level and with similar devotions to their jobs. One of them worked at solving hunger* , the other worked on consumer electronics. Which provided more benefit to society, and by how much?

The system we've got seems to say that the work done by the person who worked on consumer electronics is several times as valuable, and to me that seems wrong. I'm asking for ways that we could change the system, so that that penguin monitoring project (for example) doesn't have to be "volunteer time" rather than "work time".

* or environmental conservation, social equality, curing cancer, whatever floats your boat.

Hey, author of the patch here.

The restrictions are wire size. `bootstrap.min.js` is ~10KiB on the wire, which means it comfortably fits (as do jQuery, most analytics packages, etc.).

That said, the prototype does break a lot of the web, but that's not a crisis. The intent isn't to have this rolled out everywhere against unwitting content, but rather (like TLS), to let developers opt-in to a single set of rules when they see value. There are also places (e.g. PWAs) where the browser-imposed quality bar needs to be high. Blocking PWA install for sites that don't send the opt-in header seems like a reasonable place to start.
Sounds okay to me. She was not forced to, she listens to other people and her deal is still on the table.

So, amazing battery life?

You are saying it gets the same battery life as a low-end smartphone, with 1/10th the performance and 1/50th the experience (numbers mine). If it's better at all those things, and still has that battery life, then it's much much better than that other thing...
It probably doesn't matter if you're in the US or Western Europe, but could matter a lot in other regions. I don't know about Stackpath's PoP but Cloudflare and Akamai have PoP with much lower latency in many regions than the next data center by a cloud provider.
Oh I loved Freakonomics!! What an excellent question. I want to propose 2 books:
1. Getting Things Done by David Allen. It really changed how I approach not only my workday but pretty much everything that could constitute "work" in my daily life. It's a bit of a learning curve to start, but once you implement GTD in your life it becomes second nature. You can learn about it here: https://gettingthingsdone.com/ and there's a good intro to it here: https://zenkit.com/en/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-getting-thin....
2. How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. When you start thinking of plants as medicine it really changes your whole approach to food and life in general. I've started following his 'daily dozen' and I've got to say that I feel absolutely incredible. (Check out his website here: https://nutritionfacts.org/)

Amazing works of fiction that I come back to again and again include Anna Karenina and The Three Musketeers
> Are you really naive enough to think that because in your small sphere of experience, people don't seem to like open plan, there aren't millions of people who love open plan? For an engineer that doesn't seem like logical thinking.

> Your anecdote isn't data. I'm an engineer, I love my standing desk and open plan space. I know many engineers at our company who feel likewise, it's a huge improvement.

You go off on him for stating what his experience is (backed by almost everyone else on this site, by the way) and then turn right around and do the same, just from your minority perspective, with the added idiocy of essentially stating you're somehow stating facts. Do you realize how hypocritical that seems?

You should take the downvotes to heart, honestly. Normally I think they don't really signal that much, but in this case (and all your other arrogant comments) they clearly signal that your view is the clear minority and your comments are very out of touch with reality.
There is a difference between earning huge profits and earning a good living.

I would posit that it is possible for Reddit to finance itself and it's operation without going as far as they are doing now.

However, that would imply forgoing possible megaprofits that VCs wants - as well as probably reducing growth in headcounts and interesting internal projects. So there are both internal and external forces pushing in the direction of more monetization.

I think Basecamp is a nice example of forgoing profit for a better product.
Social hacking is still hacking, friend.
Shhhh. Let Harold enjoy his feeling of superiority.
For what it’s worth, I read that comment as drawing attention to the fact that democracy, while powerful, can be misdirected. People make mistakes, and in large groups, peoples make mistakes, especially when working with a complex set of top-down rules that we’ve built up over centuries for the purpose of controlling other people in a world that has had billions of years to develop its own complexities. As an aside, that fragility is why such top-down structures are so rare in nature.
Let's say it's never redeemed, and it just ends up being a bad book. So what?

People have bad ideas all the time. Are we incapable of dealing with bad ideas on an intellectual level any more? We should be analyzing the understand the flaws in the reasoning that lead to the bad idea.

The antidote to bad ideas is reason, not silence.
Then you are clearly subbed to the wrong subreddits. I find too much fun content there covering all my interests.
That's very clever but feels like breaking the game slightly.

In the game Bridge, which involves communication between competing pairs of players, you can communicate a suit and a number, but it is meant to have some kind of meaning within the game, so I think strategies like this would be illegal.
