> And anyway, value is determined by the buyer.

I disagree. You can make anything seem valuable by defining value in the most cynically narrow terms possible like that.

By that same logic, heroin has great value in society, and hitmen and we shouldn't be trying to stop these things. However we do, because the popularity of the product is no measure of its contribution to society.

Continue on with that logic and literally everything is valuable, making it a meaningless distinction.

> You can't say as an individual that something has no value to society.

I can and did. It's an opinion not an assertion.

If you are creating a need that didn't already exist, like targeting people's predisposition to addictions to substances like sugar, or nicotine, or heroin, then I posit that you have created no real value whatsoever.
Although we should always be studying potential risks, I have little concern.

Just keep it in perspective, you walk around outside under a nuclear fusion fireball receiving around 1000 watts of terahertz radiation some of it ionizing and known to cause cancer.

Wifi, Cell including 5G are in the Gigahertz range, non-ionizing, which means they can basically heat your flesh like a microwave and nothing more and are at milliwatt power levels from the phones transmitter and maybe a hundred watts from the towers transmitter.

This would be like worrying about what an led flashlight (the phone) or street light (the cell station) does to you.
"up to". OK so it could be 1%, or it could be 86%.
That seems a fairly accurate observation, but that alone isn't a good reason to be dismissive of health concerns.

Personally I'm more worried about the privacy concerns. There is money to be made from mass surveillance after all, I'm not sure what the motivation would be to give citizens a higher rate of cancer.

No.

I am reminded of the many coroner's inquest reports I've read where agencies refused to share information with each other because they misunderstood laws about privacy, and then someone dies a self-inflicted death.

Very often the families of those who died had been telling agencies, for some time, that they were concerned about their loved-one, but were being ignored by those agencies.

This is why national strategy in England includes consensus statements on information sharing. These consensus statements lay out the law (which hasn't changed; there's still a legal duty to maintain confidentiality), and when it is or isn't ok to share information and who can do that.

By your logic music and art have no value to society, because there was no need for those until they were invented, someone could assess their value as zero, they consume natural resources which harms all of us, and the people could be doing something more productive (by some unstated metric of yours) instead.

You just don't enjoy soda. There's nothing wrong with other people enjoying it. Either in moderation, or irresponsibly in our opinion, which is their own business. Other people don't enjoy music and art and should probably think they should be done away with you like you with soda.
You've just converted the risk from "could be convicted of a crime if the state can prove that beyond all reasonable doubt" into "could lose their children if the state can prove it on the balance of probabilities", which feels worse to me.

In my experience ghosting from prospects happen when what they have told you is incongruent with what they are now thinking, and they can’t explain why. Often shifting priorities can cause it.

Asking directly for feedback as to why they aren’t responding sometimes works, and otherwise I’ve found the best way to respond is just to let them know you’re available should they want to get back in touch, and follow up in 6 months.

> there is no study that links low level ionizing radiation to any harmful effect on humans

This does not mean much. The direct destruction effect of strong radiation on cells is cumulative, the longer you're exposed, the greater harm done. Given the physics and biology knowledge, our best bet so far is that effect of weak but extraordinary radiation is cumulative as well. It will increase probability of cancer and leukaemia.

Alpha radiation is lethal too if you get its source into your body.

Yes and no.

Yes because, unlike languages, country calling codes and countries (and thus flags) have a one-to-one relationship.

No because very few people are capable of identifying every country in the world by its flag whereas most of your users will be capable of identifying a country by its name.

Go with "Afghanistan +93", without a flag: it's easier to read and understand and easier to implement.

I think that generally humans cannot recover from being "in broken-EF state for so long" alone - that's why we invented society, as horrible and oppressive and stressing and annoying as society can be! Get connected to "functional" and "positive" people. Be open and not defensive to any kind of feedback from them - even if the feedback is very negative, treat it as "technical feedback". Change/get a job/relationship. Seek therapy.

Even if the puzzle-solving-logical-thinking can still work with a broken socio-emotional brain, the part of your mind that does planning, execution and motivation/energy for action needs well balanced social and emotional parts aside to work properly.

Oh, and do it fast... one can recover later too, as long as there's a will there's a way etc., but... you never recover that lost time when you could've been productively solving important problems and positively connecting with others!

I agree with what you're saying.

This point, however, is wrong. I don't think it being wrong changes your argument at all.

> suicide is a [...] a mental illness rather than an action someone chooses or is lead into.

Lots of people who die by suicide do not have a history of mental illness and would not meet a definition of "mentally ill" at the time of their death. They die because of rapid onset despair rather than mental illness. They are "capacitous" - they know what they're doing and why they're doing it and they know the consequences and they've made the choice.
Is that for reach and penetration and whom to target? Wouldn't know how I would apply that to ads.
The likelihood when you've already exchanged quite a few emails and suddenly all communication ceases is what you've said - they were interested but something changed and now they're not. Coming up with an excuse and 'closing down' a conversation with a salesperson so that they don't come back to you has in my experience been... tricky. It usually takes a bit of back and forth even to do that ("yes, I'm really sure I'm not interested, thanks" x3).

Because email is very low social pressure, it's probably just people avoiding the awkwardness / time & effort of doing that.

If you want feedback on why they're not interested any more, probably the best way is a phone call, or failing that an email which makes the very clear upfront assumption that the sale is not going to happen, and just asking for a quick reason why they changed their mind (just assume they have upfront as well - 90% of the time you'll be right). I think most people would be happy to do this if they are confident the conversation is really going to end there.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a free tier for something like 1000 pageviews per month? Just an idea.
Yes. Canola is, basically, the edible type of rapeseed oil. The name was originally a trademark, but is now a generic term. Australia and NZ also call it "canola", but it's the same oil either way, and it's fairly decent, as far as vegetable oils go.

True, support still isn't perfect. The calendar/date picker stuff is especially annoying here, since it really should be easier to customise and more similar cross browser than it currently is.

But most of the things mentioned do work in more browsers than not, and you can use them without worrying the site will break in almost all cases. The new semantic elements will never have issues (unless you're trying to target IE8 or below), the validation works fine in pretty much all modern browsers (as do simple styles for it) and support for the picture element and srcset are pretty good too.

The likelihood of anyone using the Blackberry browser or IE mobile is small enough to ignore.
there are two problems here. the main problem is that nobody reads the manual, which actually starts out half-decent. the description is very clear, concise, and even contains the oft-whinged-about examples. https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

the second problem is that ffmpeg has a lot of features, and nobody wants to go through and fully document hundreds of formats, codecs, and filters.

It's all self correcting in the long run, I say.

A non-increasing population leads to economic stagnation (at best). That, coupled with a decline in religiosity leading to a loss of societal cohesion will eventually bring down the whole house of cards that is modern civilization.

Famine, war, etc. follows. And we're back to a less populated world with high infant mortality again. Hard times lead to a return to religiosity and large families.

Hopefully this all happens after I'm gone.

> The glass containers can be reused, but not that many times on average, and it takes sufficiently more energy to produce one vs. the energy required to recycle a plastic bottle.

Is there any source for this?

In Germany for example we have the option to buy bottled water in glass or plastic. Glass bottles are reusable, while plastic bottles are either one-way (majority) or reusable. The glass bottles are reused an average of 50x, while the one-way plastic bottles obviously are only used once. There are some reusable plastic bottles, but they are only reused max. 12x if not a lot less.

Looking at these numbers alone tells me that glass bottles are way better for our environment compared to plastic bottles. So I am a bit confused by your statement.
Well, did you read the link? The top answer puts forward a convincing case that the book fails to show that "people can have all kind of laws broken and given causes to be arrested without them knowing it." There are wrongful charges and convictions in every legal system, and contrary to the last sentence of your comment, it matters a lot whether these occur 1,000 times more or less frequently.
For many years my AWK knowledge was limited to basic '{print $1}' style usage. I never bothered to learn more. I tended to use perl when I needed a custom text-processing operation. Later, as perl became less a part of my working life, I began using ruby instead - they are pretty similar in spirit.

One day, nearly 20 years after it was published, I picked up a used copy of The AWK Programming Language by Aho, Kernighan, and Weinberger. Yes, they are credited in that order on the cover... I suspect intentionally. I only read the first N chapters, but it was enough. I used AWK many times within the following month, and I continue to use AWK on a daily basis. When the task is complicated, I will still use ruby, but often enough AWK is easier.

The point: you think "Why would I learn X when I can use Y?", but you won't really know the answer until you learn X. If I had never learned perl, python, ruby, AWK, shell script, vi macros, then I would probably be editing files by hand (!) like I sometimes catch developers actually doing (!!!). For a person who doesn't know these tools, that might actually be the path of least resistance. Investing some time here and there to learn new tools pays off in the future in ways that are unpredictable.
You miss the point. Studies on low level radiation effects study, for example, deviations from the linear model, but are so far inconclusive, because it is hard to prescribe and control the level of radiation over such a long time. It could be done in lab, but who would subject themselves willingly to regular blasts of radiation? Radiation intensity in planes varies a lot, depending on the height, time of flight, geographical location, etc., so little can be inferred. It would take decades and lots of volunteers willing to get harmed in the name of science to do such studies reliably. Do you know of any such study?

There is a way but it requires you to think one conversation ahead at each conversation. 50% of your objective in the initial conversations should be to generate the next conversation. That means you can’t just add “ok, next steps” at the end of a “good chat”.

It has to be the bulk of the conversation that makes it inevitable and desirable.
Remember watching a documentary about UK's landfills.The older ones,that are no longer in use, are often not even mapped property,so even the government struggles to pin point where all the stuff was dumped half a century ago.What was even more interesting is how much slower things degrade as opposed to the official guidelines. Decommissioned landfills are often covered with a layer of soil,which essentially deprives it from oxygen and slows down the process.They dug up some newspapers that were 30 or more years old and still fully legible.
