This is the first time I've noticed someone has had a similar experience to mine with noise-cancelling headphones.

I first tried them years and years ago, and noticed a weird "pressure" feeling when I put them on.

I just figured they were not for me and concentrated on earplugs, earbuds and over-the-ear closed earphones.

For earplugs, the 3M classic superfit 33 earplugs (33 nrr) are comfortable and quiet.

For earbuds, any klipsch in-ear headphones with the oval silicone insert works well - comfortable and an excellent seal.
But any click can do that, right? No need for it to be a fake Allow/Deny prompt.

The best I can think of is that it does 2 things:

1. Preserves the "true" allow/deny prompt for a time when the user will allow.

2. Lulls the user into a sense of security. The page is nice and/or their browser will ask about anything the page tries to do.
For starters Starbucks (and others) could offer and encourage the use of “for here” glasses. My local Starbucks has a few “for here” mugs, but no glasses for cold drinks. Seems like low hanging fruit there.

Common pattern for such a service. There is no 'id' in the path, that isn't how it works, you just want the one path component for the size in order to return a square image and then if you give a second path component you get the y dimension. It is as simple as that.
Bookstores: How to Read More Books in the Golden Age of Content
I just noticed this when looking at my tabs:

The article title is "The Instagram Aesthetic Is Over".

The document's title is "Influencers Are Abandoning the Instagram Look" (`document.title`).

The document title seems more informative.
I updated the comparison, I think you'll find it more compelling in terms of stability and performance.

To summarize, they're about equal in terms of performance but I'd argue my library wins on stability and maintainability as the minimal API enables a tiny codebase, which means less docs, less tests and most importantly, less bugs.

Furthermore, the future of gorilla/websocket is uncertain. https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/issues/370

Not yet but in comparison with gobwas/ws, this library is definitely slower but not by much, at least you won't notice until you're serving a million connections.

> The difference with farmers and other occupations is that there's such a strong emotional bond. The land has been in the family for generations. Failure is simply not an option. When the end comes some can't emotionally handle it.

I wonder if there is anything more emotionally negative about losing a farm than losing any other multigenerational family business.
This is super interesting. Is it your full time job? What level of success are you having with your idea?
I used to work for NYPL years back. Apparently there are also gangs having sex (eg, gang initiation) at some branches -- this topic was actually covered during my orientation.

I agree many branches are essentially day-time shelters for homeless (sure, they smell really bad) and drug addicts.

Not sure about "shutting them down," but they try to justify their existence even in the age of the internet and wireless communication by claiming that they serve various unheeded needs of local community other agencies are unable to provide.

Are they really a waste of taxpayers money? Well, most librarians are unions members and they are not for the most part a drain on NYC finance -- we are talking about NYC where NYPD officers can make $150+K or sky-is-the-limit earnings for MTA contractors. I think the city has much greater issues at its hand, but the library system is far from frugal or efficient, IMO. Some work for the library because they share and believe in the mission and service they provide to community, but I suspect many don't care about that.
When I say "centrism", I'm thinking of it only as it relates to American politics with no external input. Comparing to other countries would be interesting, but I wouldn't even attempt it. Too many variations, even if limited to western nations. Your example of Spain shows the Democrats would comparatively be on the left on some issues, and on the right on others. Which, amusingly, would average out to centrism of a sort.

This article has it exactly right. The EV revolution is about to happen. That is because plunging battery prices mean that in another two or three years EV sticker prices for larger cars will match that of ICE's, and in following years will match for smaller ones.
https://cleantechnica.com/2019/04/17/bnef-shocker-electric-c...

Given that operating expenses for EV's are much lower, market demand will suddenly swing over to EV's. The only limit to growth will be how fast battery production and EV production will be able to expand. And this will turn the auto industry, and everything associated with it, on its head.

What past history shows is that when there is a radical technical revolution like this, many if not all of the incumbents will go out of business, and many if not all of the new market leaders will be startups. And the transition is not an easy one, it is not like and ICE manufacturer can just decide one day to start making EV's and be doing so a year later. It takes years to develop the expertise and supply chain.

So the companies that are not pushing hard today are going to be in very serious trouble in a few years. And at present that includes most American manufacturers. Only GM seems semi-serious. And that in turn means the government should be doing everything right now to encourage them to get to work on EV's.

One final point. There is endless coverage about Tesla, and it certainly deserves a great deal of attention. But the press is largely missing the important story, which is that the EV revolution is starting to get going all around the world.
I should have been more thorough.

> - Must NOT violate sanitization of the work area; cups provided by customers should not pose any health risks to workers or other customers.

Trained staff can tell customers to hold onto the lid, rinse the bloody mug and fill it with some coffee. The establishment trains the employees to understand how to handle 1. The customer 2. Their mug and 3. Keep the area sanitary.

> - Should be durable enough to survive repeated visits

Durable travel mugs exist.

> - Either the reusable cup must conform to a standard size, baristas need a way to measure liquids consistently without in-cup guides, or coffee could be sold by volume...

Answered more thoroughly higher in the thread.

> - Reusable cups should not introduce enough delay to appreciably disrupt the flow of customers

Dishes are a fact of life in food service. A customer is in charge of keeping their own mugs clean but employees can give them a quick rinse. For mugs that belong to the establishment, trained employees know how to 1. Wash dishes and 2. Load them into a dish sanitizer because they are professionals and it is their job. Health inspectors keep the establishment honest.

Payless did sell some perfectly sensible utilitarian mens black leather-looking walking shoes, which got me through grad school.

I upgraded to DSW when I could afford (or cost-justify) it, and mainly for dating appearance reasons.

Currently, I have to order running shoes, to get the right size&color of a model I know works for me (local running shop sadly doesn't carry it), but the durability has gotten so poor that I contacted the well-regarded brand corporate.

How good is weather prediction for other people? Is it actually accurate for you? Are even the current conditions accurate for you? I use Weather Underground, and a few weeks ago in the Bay, here are just a couple of the things I remember observing (out of the many wrong predictions): (1) One afternoon I was told there would be rain in 5-6 hours, then a couple hours I was told there would be none. (2) I started getting soaked while walking outside, and I checked the current conditions and was informed it is in fact not raining and there is no upcoming rain either. These were despite the facts that the weather stations were < 1 mile away for me and the conditions persisted for a fair bit (i.e. it wasn't just a random 2-minute shower).
Interestingly, Softbank invested 200M$ into their largest competitor (Klook) just 2 weeks ago [0]. Seems to be in line with Vision Funds/Sons strategy of investing into several players in the same market at the same time [1]. I guess the long term goal is to become the middleman/facilitator for a large percentage of all "travel experiences" that were previously booked directly or just paid in cash at the venue. Still, that's a crazy amount of money to invest into growth (how?) and the increased valuation will make a "traditional" exit impossible (for now).

It cuts both ways. When I was younger (I'm in my 40s now) I did plenty of my own complaining. It's pretty natural for younger people to be poorer: they had less time to accumulate wealth. It's also pretty natural for generations to complain about each other. Other people pretty much universally see 20-somethings as total shitheads, because that's what they mostly are. I say this with full understanding that I too was a shithead in my 20's, and I'm still a shithead to an older, wiser person.
> PS:(edit) I walk around a decent amount and even go running 6 to 9 miles per week. Even a super cheap pair of running shoes won't show any holes in it for 4+ years at least. The Nike ones I had started falling apart in just in less than 2 years.

Running shoes are garbage long before they fall apart or get holes in them. Perhaps you're lucky, but I can't imagine running in my shoes for more than about 350 miles. Nothing feels better than the first run in new running shoes.
Some dev: "Hey, I noticed one of our more complex API endpoints had some pretty bad response latency, so I dug into it a bit. It turns out our PHP/Symfony/Doctrine stack was generating over a hundred SQL queries, all of which were being performed sequentially because we don't have a good per-request concurrency story in this tech stack. So I wrote an alternate implementation in Clojure which has a great concurrency story and cut the latency by 75%."

Perhaps your assertion that we worry about this too much is true, but I do take issue with your hidden assumption that merit is directly proportional to effort. That is, the org chart you present presupposes that only lazy, ill-motivated people stay at the bottom.

But the truth is that some people are not very good at anything, and many people will never be the best at anything, no matter how hard they try. Some people are born mentally slower, more socially inept, physically weaker than others. Some people are born into bad circumstances (and a bad childhood can screw your whole life up at worst), others are dealt a shit hand by fate. (Your insurance company can pay for your back surgery if you're rear-ended, but they can't guarantee it's fixed, or even bearable...)

None of the people in these categories are less motivated or more responsible for these problems than others...although, indeed, we tend to despise laziness more if the person is already bad at their job, and it is easy to mistake incompetence for a moral issue. (After all, why the cliché about malice and stupidity if not?)

So yes, all of the talented, motivated people with prolonged bouts of stable home lives, good backgrounds, good health, etc., will rise to the top and get paid accordingly.

Some of those talented and motivated people will be left behind by the system. Personally, I do think it matters what the system does in moderate case.

Most systems that work at all correctly reward and punish best cases and worst cases. But what about the middle? People who are not especially talented or especially qualified or especially stable or especially healthy? When these people enter the system, what happens to them?

You're right. I have been able to get away with Keynote/Figma for the longest time but might be the time to get something sturdier.
I didn't downvote it, but I guess it was downvoted because it looks like a joke. (Something like "This man is nut, climate change deniers are nut, let's make a joke about them all".) It looks like a joke specially if someone has not read the article and is only reacting to the title. (Note: I have read the article, I want my 5 minutes back.)

Perhaps you could have written it more clearly. Try to avoid short comments. Something like:

fake alternative comment> The author proposes that the increase of the abduction cases [1] is caused because the aliens[2] are concern about climate change. I think that an alternative explanation is that is the increased climate change stresses & temperature swings impacting human mood disorders (the same way it correlates with increased violence) and this cause the increase in the report of false[3] alien abductions."

My notes:

[1] Is there an increase of the report of the "abductions"?

[2] If they live here and are somewhat related to the normal animals, are they alien?

[3] false/fake/??? I'm not sure about the best word here.

[4] I didn't like how you used the "Occam’s Razor", so I made the editorial decision to avoid it in the fake comment.

I hope that my alternative is a good representations of your ideas, and I hope it's more clear that it propose an alternative explanation of parts of the article.

This stat gets thrown around for a lot of different kinds of reusable products but what no one ever mentions is what does environmentally friendly actually mean.

When I have looked it up its always simply looking at energy usage to produce the product when by far the biggest impact of our throwaway products is that they end up blowing around the streets or they fall in to the ocean. And even if you do put them in the recycling bin they mostly end up shipped to the 3rd world to be burned or thrown in the ocean.

Also even just looking about the energy usage, 70 times is quite low. A proper coffee cup lasts a lot longer than 70 uses. Really they don't ever break unless dropped.

Is this assuming it goes into landfill afterwards? Does it look better if you use something more easily recyclable?

I think metal is a pretty good candidate: you can get it pretty thin, it's durable, keeps the coffee hot, light and easily cleaned. You just need to ensure that customers are not burning fingers or lips on the containers.

I think you could probably build relatively low cost cup washing machines, especially as you control the shape of the cup itself.
A rather small team of 10 people (with only 4-5 devs) will cost 10K per week at some generic corporation. Let's say your project takes 12 months to make on a beefy processor ($2 per unit) and 15 months on a cheap processor ($1 per unit). That extra dev time to deal with those issues directly costs 120K.

That automatically means you have to be shipping at least 120K units just to break even with those costs. But you are also getting to market 3 months later which itself has huge business costs which means you probably need to be shipping 200K or more units. That's a pretty big number for a lot of embedded device designers.

If you double your chip constraint from $0.13 to $0.26, then that same team must now ship a million devices to break even.
The limits for Chapter 12 are quite low when you look at the consolidation of farms that's happened in the last 10 years.

Corn land in Iowa runs, say, 5-10k/acre depending on quality and location. 640 acres per square mile. 3.8 million on the low end to buy one square mile...but the Chapter 12 debt limit is $4,153,150.

That doesn't count the 6 figure capex for the equipment, buildings, and the 5 figure spend for seeds,

It's typically at the 2-3000 acre level where farms become economically viable.

It's basically impossible to go from the city to a commodity corn, pig, or cow farmer.

Disclaimer: I have been involved in efforts to increase the limit.
