No conversation technique will enable you to always get what you want. I mean, if such a technique existed the other part could also use it, right? The guide is not about how to win a conversation, just about how to have it.

Your state that "the power went to his head" and he is "irrational". That is pretty judgemental! But looking at your story from the outside, he is the son with the dying father and you are an in-law trying to wrestle control of the situation and get access to medical information and perhaps influence critical decisions.

No amount of conversation skill is going to make you closer related than the son.
Its a structural problem, not necessary facebooks -- if it werent for facebook, the idiots would congregate somewhere else to spread their lies. What is missing is an education in epistemology for a broad audience regardless of education level -- the ability to categorize and weight the value of knowledge and sources.
It is surprising to me how many here are okay with nanny state policies like this, yet are up in arms any time government tries to do anything that limits our digital freedoms.

I know this doesn’t limit freedoms, per se, since it’s already illegal to speed. But I find something about it deeply troubling.
I have seen higher costs for PayPal (well, and credit cards) quite often for German and EU online stores.

The original point was for users to be able to fix bugs in the software they were using, no? You can frame that as good for ideological reasons (users should have the freedom to solve their own problems), as Free Software does, or good for pragmatic reasons (if users can scratch their own itches then this will result in better software), as Open Source does. But in either case, SaaS undermines it: the user may be able to download a copy of the source and fix the bug that was bothering them, but they still have to live with the bug in the version of the software they're actually using.

PayPal's UX (login, click buy) is a better experience over entering a 16 digit credit card, expiry date, csv & address.

You're comparing the UX for a customer who already has a credit card registered to a Paypal account with the UX of a user who doesn't have a credit card registered with Stripe. If your customer has a Paypal account with a registered card the UX is better. If they don't then Stripe is much nicer because you'd need to include the Paypal sign up process in your UX and that's horrible.

Plus Stripe offers the same benefit of remembering the customer's card details for subsequent purchases (https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards).
If we had a culture where killing people with your car, even accidentally, was viewed as similar to killing people with [other implement, gun, etc.] even accidentally, this wouldn't be necessary.

Imagine it - person wants to go bird hunting, and the local school is great hunting grounds. A kid gets killed by some stray buckshot, and they get a fine and increased insurance costs.

But we let people operate deadly devices right by streets (you know, the things made for walking until ~100 years ago), schools, parks, etc. and _even when their irresponsibility kills people_ the punishments are tiny. The only exception seems to be alcohol - but just being an idiot driver is fine.

I strongly dislike the privacy implications and nanny state here. But not as much as I dislike ~60,000 dead people a year. Besides, if you carry a phone (or licence place for that matter) you've sacrificed all your privacy anyway.

And really, it's more deaths than that, due to excess pollution (both air pollution and sound pollution).
From personal experience, I know that most drivers I interact with on a daily basis are reckless and needlessly endanger others for their personal convenience and comfort. This starts at parking on pavements and cycle lanes, not stopping at zebra crossings, going above the speed limit and all sorts of other incursions.

For example, there was recently a statistic floated around that half the people in the UK had been in an accident. Assuming that all these accidents were one-on-one collisions (unlikely, people also "lose control" all by themselves), this suggests that at least 25% of drivers drive recklessly, as they have caused an accident at some point in the past. I do not understand how 25% are "pathological".

Add to this the number of people who also drive recklessly but for sheer luck have not caused an accident yet and those people who have caused accidents without involving other drivers and the above 25% go up even further.

So yes, I stand by my previous comment.
PayPal still cannot get its UX right for people resident abroad when adding cards. For example, their telephone number country picker determines the zip code validation, not the country of the billing address. It was quite frustrating and silly to discover.
They created a product which allows people to stay in touch and communicate and organize with others. I can fix things with a screwdriver, or I can hurt someone. I can run over someone with a car, or I can use it to go to work.

Things have pros and cons, and when the cons outweigh the pros perhaps action must be taken. But in this case, the people spreading the disinformation are to blame.
Facebook has certain been a vehicle for the spread of misinformation, but I'm not completely sure that they should answer for it. Having Facebook control what information is "true" sounds awfully dystopian.

Sure. If you then take personal responsibility for every accident even when going at or below the speed limit, I could quite live with this. "Personal responsibility" of course means making good for any and all damage you caused, something which you are typically quite unable to do.

The fact that people still have "accidents" and that these "accidents" are ruled "accidents" and not "willfully crashing their 2 tons of metal into something" suggests that people are not ready to take responsibility for their actions and that they cannot be trusted, even with the current speed limits already in place.

You are already admitting that the current proposal will solve nothing, but will require further steps: prosecuting tampering with the limiters, prosecuting driving a car without them (even unknowingly [!]) and so on.

But the way Google uses AMP goes way beyond caching, at least in the way news articles are presented. Do I really give anyone an implied license to republish AMP content on their own properties as soon as I put some AMP pages online? There might be some limited control by using robots.txt but that's rather coarse-grained.

My main irk with AMP is that it's mostly an all-or-nothing solution. I'd love to publish AMP pages without allowing anyone to republish my content. The way Google implements AMP also seems like a huge antitrust issue given their near-monopoly in search. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the next EU fines will be over AMP.
the ui problem stem from the very deep menu that you have to traverse and where to find them, and that comes from the sheer amount of stuff you can do in the game

even making it prettier won't really solve the issues at it's root that cause it to work that way

however, if you play with the menu visible (tab key), it's already a order of magnitude easier because at least you see all the mnemonic to traverse the control tree and they are well organized after all.

The other answers have confirmed that Postgres will do this with array fields, and it's good advice to follow. It's also in my view much easier to read than MongoDB's query language is!

CREATE TABLE documents (name text, tags text[]);
INSERT INTO documents VALUES ('Doc1', '{tag1, tag2}');
INSERT INTO documents VALUES ('Doc2', '{tag2, tag3}');
INSERT INTO documents VALUES ('Doc3', '{tag2, tag3, tag4}');

SELECT * FROM documents WHERE tags @> '{tag1}';
name | tags
------+-------------
Doc1 | {tag1,tag2}

SELECT * FROM documents WHERE tags @> '{tag2}';
name | tags
------+-------------
Doc1 | {tag1,tag2}
Doc2 | {tag2,tag3}
Doc3 | {tag2,tag3,tag4}

SELECT * FROM documents WHERE tags @> '{tag2, tag3}';
name | tags
------+------------------
Doc2 | {tag2,tag3}
Doc3 | {tag2,tag3,tag4}

Postgres certainly isn't perfect, but it's usually a good answer to "how do I store and query data" where you don't have any particular specialist requirements.
All of that may be true as well - if the user picks the underlying OS (i.e. kernel) to run the container engine and installs on bare metal, then literally everything you wrote applies.

Why do I have to pay for breathalyzer in my car if I don't drink alcohol nor ever had problems with it?
Sorry? Cars are checked regularly (at least every two years for example in Germany) where any tampering can be detected and either reversed or further registration for the car refused. This system is already in place and the process of checking brakes, the engine, lights etc only needs to be amended by a process to check this system. I don’t see how this requires substantial "further steps".

> PayPal's APIs are extremely difficult to use

This is simply not true.

It took us less than one man/day to custom-wrap their REST API via libcurl to add PayPal as an alternative to Stripe. I don't know how else to put it, but it's just really dead simple.

Their own libraries are complete junk though... or at least they used to be few years back.

I tried to start android development couple of times and it was impossible for me.

The last time I created a new project from the Android Studio built-in template, it was broken from the start - UI editor throwing an error, googling didn't help, I didn't have so much time to debug it so gave up again. I expected built-in template to always work.

I hate java, I always hated that tree of subdirectories. What worse, there are some Maven repos and some proprieters Gradle binary which is randomly downloaded to my pc like a malware. Why is that? It is very difficult to configure the project, so many XMLs, documentation is not very good, build process takes a long time. Android studio is slow and takes much RAM as any java-based IDE.

Rename a project? Near impossible. You have to be a guru to know all the places where to change it, rename directories, etc.

In comparison, it is very straightforward to develop for iOS. It is possible to integrate C/C++ easily. Normal gdb/lldb. Cocoa UI is nice, nice frameworks with reasonable documentation. The only problem is the closed platform, requirement to pay for Development program, signing all binaries.
More/better education is always good. But there will always be idiots. Look at flat earth believers (although i have hard time believing they are not just trolls).

Another reason to prefer PayPal is that you often have to fill in less fields, transferring your payment, email & shipping address is just a click vs. filling out an entire form.

>Having Facebook control what information is "true" sounds awfully dystopian.

But that's exactly what Facebook already does. How would attempting to minimize the spread of disinformation be any more dystopian than optimizing it for maximum utility?

For that matter, why, in these threads, is it only ever a slippery slope to attempt to counter misinformation, but never such to let it spread unchecked and be weaponized by any interest capable of doing so?

Facebook never was, nor ever claimed to be, a neutral arbiter. Their entire business model depends on distorting the truth, which arguably implies some degree of social responsibility on their part.
I run an online Photo editor https://www.Photopea.com , where users can pay to get a Premium account. Everything goes through PayPal and users seem to be happy.

But PayPal has quite large fees. From a 9 USD payment, they take like 10%. Also, if you are not from the US (I am not from the US), you can only withdraw money in your local currency, and PayPal has quite bad conversion rates (you lose 2-3% again).

I am still wondering, that after so many years, no big company (Google, Facebook, Apple) came up with their competitor to PayPal (everybody would switch to them, if they had lower fees).

I was looking into payment processors the other day and came across Paddle[0], which seems to tick a lot of boxes that make things easier for small businesses that don't have much of a sales team, such as handling any payment disputes for you and follow up with near-missed conversions.

They also automatically remit local taxes, for small businesses that want to operate globally.

But I have not actually used them. Can anyone else chime in with actual usage experience of Paddle?

Unfortunately people are a bit mislead by the headlines on this, you'll get news saying that on some days renewables became a significant part of the mix (for that day), or that renewables are a significant portion of new capacity (since no new gas is installed because the gas generating capacity already exceeds max potential consumption) or that renewables is now a significant portion of all installed capacity (capacity but not generating or being used). The reality is that for what is actually generated and consumed, it's mostly gas. Have a look at this regularly, https://www.electricitymap.org/?page=country&solar=false&rem... and you'll see right now as I'm typing it we have 15% nuclear, 10% wind and 49% gas.

Around Europe we can see the countries that have low emissions are either heavy on nuclear or have good access to hydro, or both. The rest that are doing well are on gas. Those who shunned gas and nuclear and went all in with wind and solar are usually amongst the worst. We can expand renewables as much as we like but it's not going to be enough until we have a scalable way of storing the energy generated from it. If we want to reduce gas in order to cut emissions even further, it's going to have to be nuclear. However, if we're talking about the cost of nuclear, the cost of carbon capture and storage of gas generation also becomes an option.
