in theory, the difference between summers and all-seasons is the rubber compound used. all things being equal, the summer compound will perform better when it's hot outside. in reality, most people in the US just don't care and run all-seasons year round. people tend to only buy summer tires for performance-oriented vehicles, so the tires offered with summer compound tend to be aggressive tires with less tread. if you pick a summer tire at random, it may well be less capable than an all-season tire in the rain. the superior compound can't grip if it can't evacuate enough water from the contact patch.
I think a civilization could make a pretty good go at things without fossil fuels. The 2 big use cases for fossil fuel are the temperature of the heat itself (for things like smelting), but also how simple it is to make a steam engine with energy dense fuels (cars/trains/planes/electricity). Temperature wise, a lot of metals can be smelted with clever oven design using wood/charcoal (though another planet wont have exactly wood, obviously). Energy wise, wind mills and water wheels have been in use for thousands of years, and after the discovery of electricity, its reasonably simple to turn that mechanical energy into electricity (using wood-smelted metals).

Am I following correctly?:

- psilocybin has been proven to reduce vision capabilities under all circumstances, and this is conclusively proven in that report?

- each of his contributing sub-theories must have been true (all are pre-requisites) for his overall theory to have some unrealized truth to it?

- there are conclusive studies demonstrating it is not possible for psilocybin to effect evolutionary psychology?

Sensors are frequently and unavoidably damaged during unmounting. Many shops just replace the sensors as a matter of course when replacing the tire, since there is no way to test the sensor until the new tire is mounted and inflated.
That may be fair (though there's some ambiguity to me in the word "sought"), but I hope he knows that if he loses his day job or has health problems or something like that he can go to the community. uBlock origin is worth hundreds of dollars a year to me, and I'm by no means rich.
With 3 digits of precision, not a massive amount of rides, each rating will make it go up or down.

Won’t work too well if you frequently take a lot of rides.
It might be easier to try detection (and embarrassing alarms) instead of physical prevention. For example, floor sensors could detect when multiple sets of feet are enter on the same activation.

Granted, they might not know the difference between one person and a handcart versus two people where one is in a wheelchair, but I doubt many would-be infiltrators would draw attention to themselves that way.

How will this affect Vivaldi and Chrome-based Edge? It's a worrying thing unless Microsoft and Vivaldi can provide a safe alternative.
Microsoft basically shut down the IE team after they beat Netscape, which gave Firefox a chance to produce a better product. Web browsing is so closely tied to Google's core business that they're unlikely to mothball Chrome development.
"The vast majority of cases" doesn't mean anything. Everything depends on what you're building.

First I must say that this phrase: "Not only you now get all the architectural nuances of making an app, which your typical JS dev doesn't understand" is ridiculous and needlessly derogatory. There are a LOT of JS devs in the world, and the "typical" ones obviously understand this, or you wouldn't be on the internet right now.
Furthermore:

1. That's why JS projects use Babel. Or Typescript.

2. This point is objectively false, given the fact that most websites you use are complex JavaScript projects. Also, yeah, there's TypeScript.

3. That's why JS projects use libraries and "more" dependencies. It's very rarely an issue.

- "we now have to use bundlers like Webpack, NPM dependencies..." Have you heard of Makefiles, unix package management tools, "and a very long etcetera"? None of this is new by any means.

- "Plus a continuously changing dev landscape" - welcome to programming. Change is a constant.

- "It is still challenging to make an accessible SPA..." Of course! it is still challenging to build products, and make good UX. Welcome to programming for users. Good luck figuring out what they want and need. There are jobs for that too.

- "sending all this functionality to the client can have a serious cost in size and CPU." Sometimes. Sometimes not. Sometimes it doesn't matter, like in most of the cases of most of the customers using SPAs. When it matters, people figure out how to solve this.

- "Finally, in the vast majority of cases (if not all) SPAs also render the content" - definitely not all, maybe JUST the majority. And... "developing an API" vs "doing the rendering in the server" is rarely an issue or conversation and basically not a valid argument.

- "Amazon, Ebay, Wikipedia, are not SPAs and they are still getting millions of visits every day and probably growing." This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a SPA is. Of course not literally every single page on the top largest websites in the universe are consistently in one single application with only client routing. But each of them have many pieces that are. Most popular web apps are hybrids like this.

- "It makes sense for gmail, since there is a lot of clicking around and changing views, but that's not a concern for the vast majority of websites." This leads to a philosophical discussion of the difference between a website and a web application, where one is mostly reading and displaying data, and the other is "a lot of clicking around and changing views" (which, it turns out, is what many, many companies and products fundamentally are), which isn't really germane to this. It's probably safe to assume most of us are talking about the latter. We can also agree that blogs don't usually need app behavior.

Google can and does use DRM to block even this from happening: https://blog.samuelmaddock.com/posts/google-widevine-blocked...

Even Mozilla needed to license Widevine from Google to support modern video: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm

Based on the policy evidenced in Maddock's post, it seems impossible to develop an open-source browser in 2019 that supports video streaming.
Is this article based on any solid research? It appears a number of speculative theories concocted by scientists are presented, but with little evidence to support them.

Seems a more accurate headline would be "Several scientists discuss different plausible mechanisms for causing food cravings"

This article reeks of scientific illiteracy. The "Myth of Food Cravings" is in no way invalidated because "if you eat popcorn every time you watch TV, you might crave popcorn when you watch TV"
The thing is, they probably would've got away with it except for the triumphal video talking about it!

It's a shame, BDNA's Technopedia used to have an excellent, free online search engine that could be leveraged to search EOL information.

For context, Technopedia is a library that, for a yearly subscription, could supplement detailed supplier End of Life/Support/Extended details onto your CMDB/Asset Management System. It was a godsend when dealing with large software audits.

Flexera have since acquired BDNA, and from the looks of things, the public access to the system has been locked out: https://portal.technopedia.com/landing

That does not mean this does not require additional work to implement, or even that the company is obligated to do so.

Apple is arguably acting as a monopolist abusing its market position in violation of anti-trust laws. Apple takes a 30% cut on App Store purchases, potentially much higher than they would be able to if they didn't stifle competition. The Supreme Court recently ruled against Apple in Apple v. Pepper [1] on the question of whether purchasers of apps have standing to sue Apple. The case now goes back to the district court to decide the merits of the case.

That requires Uber to know the class of its riders.

5 star rating systems are utterly useless. There's no shared meaning in what the stars actually mean and, as anyone who has ever been on Ebay has known for decades, everyone ends up somewhere around 4.5 stars anyway.

Ratings should be computed based on a yes/no questions: Was the ride successful or not, with optional follow-ups for issues like safety, damage, cleanup, etc.

> And before anyone goes down the "well why isn't Netflix's originals DRM free?" road

This was the reason why I terminated my Netflix contract at the end of the free month. When I'm paying for something, I expect at least the quality that pirates get, but due to DRM requirements, I was stuck with 720p on my setup (and support wasn't particularly keen on acknowledging that DRM was the reason).

I might have put up with it for third party content, but certainly not for the Originals.
The new version that just came out added a new feature where different channels (Release, Nightly, etc.) have different profiles, and for some people it seems to have not picked the right profile for the channel they use. You can try looking at about:profiles. Your old profile might be in there, and then I think you can switch back to it.
I think this is just a personal thing. kinda like some people immediately spill their brain to some cache (whiteboard, pen/paper) and others stare at a wall for minutes then write when they have a fuller thought.

If it's a technical book I probably read and enjoy it and forget most of it. If I see a similar problem it might jog my memory and then I can refer back. Only works for good books. Its a different experience than directly interacting with the examples by coding/working out yourself.
The problem when it comes to uber/lyft in particular is that as the customer you're never really comparison shopping scores the way you can on amazon, yelp, etc. The audience for the scores is Uber itself, not other customers. So the real question isn't "how was the ride", it's "do I want to fuck with this person's livelihood." If the answer is no, there's no reason not to give 5 stars.

Firefox isn't quite there.

How about a sane Profile manager? This is something I use heavily on Chrome. The "about:profiles" UI doesn't cut it.

Also when I use Firefox on my non-work Fedora machines (and this is going from Fedora 21 to 29) it seriously chews up memory and CPU. Facebook (yeah, I know) is rendered unusable after about 30 mins. And as other post(s) have pointed out, video playback can be a bit janky. These machines aren't slouches either, i5 ~2.5Ghz 4th or 5th gen, 8GB RAM, SSD, and dedicated graphics cards.

I'd love to switch, but these are things that are deal breakers.

How can I sensibly choose if to do business with someone if I am only getting positive spin? When I see a page that's clearly been sanitised I try and dismiss it completely - and often the firm with it. Or go hunting for balance - which might be hugely counter productive for my overall view of the company if I land up on a complaints site.

Of the "landscapes", take the image of the woman in black in dead centre of shot - it's terribly framed unless you just wanted a photo of your wife's ass. For deciding if I'd like to visit the region the only thought is "get out of the damn way". The orange tent in corner of landscape? Crop that shit out and have a decent landscape shot. Better still, get a photographer bright enough to take 3 steps left first.

The production value is solely of product placement not landscape photography, suited only for their website. Now then, if North Face had paid a renowned landscape photographer to take some excellent photos for Wikipedia it could become well known with no logo or product in sight. Positive PR, and probably a note on North Face's page for genuine production values. Except that's no longer an advertising campaign.

What did North Face achieve? Made sure I buy Patagonia, or Jack Wolfskin etc next time I'm buying outdoor gear - which I do fairly regularly.

I guy I worked with fell for one when he was selling his car online, he got an email from an interested buyer (car thief) the linked to a very good replication of the site he was selling it on. The car thief turns up and scouts the location but the give away was that he showed little interest in the car, at which point he went back and checked the email to discover the phishing.

Not only table styling, as another person said. Duplicate CSS also.

I've done view source on some newsletters. On at least one there is a top-level CSS style block with all of the rules. Then, who knows why, there's a duplicate of every single rule placed inline to the table row TR tags.

That one also has zero line breaks and exceeds 1,000 characters per line (an SMTP violation). Unlike some other newsletters that bounce off my mail server, this one's sending script "fixes" it by arbitrarily adding a line break at 998 characters no matter what word is at that position.

I've sent them links to the RFC and notes about the broken rendering but they just don't care.

I think in general, people are excited by technology that's innovative and promising. It doesn't have to solve problems better or more efficiently today but it should have some clear path to doing so, yeah.

> Now if your question is why are markets useful, then that is obvious is it not?

I guess what I'm asking is why are markets for crypto tokens useful? If I built great tech around markets but it only let you exchange week old chicken nuggets would that be valuable?

> From your other comments, it is clear that you have already decided that “all cryptocurrency are scams” so I don’t think you are arguing this point in good faith.

Substitute 'cryptocurrency' for 'entries in a MySQL store' and re-read everything that's been posted here.

Going to the moon yielded amazing technological advances, in engineering, in materials science, in physics, chemistry, national identity, etc and promises to do so again as we iterate. Capital and research expenditure isn't negative sum. Then who knows what we might find out there?

Crypto is not new technology in any way. It's a 10-year-old recombination of 20-year-old tooling. Merkle trees and hashcash. That's it. All the money being spent on it is paying miners in China to repeatedly hash numbers and pay their electric bills. There's no research, no innovation. Just people selling each other spreadsheet cells they're sure are going to be worth something one day because 'blockchain'. It's religious, not scientific. Combine that with the world of finance, zero regulation and irreversibility, there's no way to make it anything other than a scammer's paradise. Scamming people is a feature, not a bug. All based on what, the idea that 'inflation is theft' and 'the gubmint shouldn't tell me who to send money to'? Any ECON-101 class will set you straight.

It's actively anti-efficient, regressive in terms of user experience and negative-sum: the more the price goes up the more you have to pay miners, the more cash needs to come into the system to keep the price stable. PoW isn't decentralized (>51% of BTC hashpower is concentrated in a few mining pools in the PRC), it's not trustless (PRC), it's not fast (7tx/sec), it's not cheap, it's not a good store of value and it fails to solve human problems (deflationary in the face of an expanding population and economy).

It's abjectly failed at every one of it's stated goals, all that's left is 'number go up.' What's to like?

What if it were the case that if you believed this to be true then it became true, and vice versa? Don't believe me? People can kill themselves by believing that they are going to die... if that's possible, then why does believing one myth or another change our behavior seem so far fetched? And if that's the case, then how can science possibly tell us anything other than validate that the subject is holding a myth which causes certain behaviors?

That being said the article basically says stop eating stuff you crave altogether and fugetaboutit... as an effective way to stop craving it. The more you eat something the more you want of it -- and thinking about my food addictions like soda that seems to be true. The cite a study that confirms this theory.
