I offer a few use cases:

1) If I am a person that is capable of getting pregnant and wishes to have the option to terminate my pregnancy, it would be prudent to keep up to date on the legislation involving that.

2) If I am a trans person or a person of LGBTQ status, it would be prudent to keep up to date on legislation involving my healthcare needs and whether or not I am a protected class in my state and whether or not killing me because of my demographic is considered acceptable in certain circumstances ('gay panic' defense).

3) If I am a police officer or related to police offers, it would be prudent to keep up to date on legislation involving my employment or the employment applied to others. This applies also to civil servants in general, I would suspect, such as preparing for an upcoming gov't shutdown.

4) If I care about guns and my participation in guns or hunting, it would be prudent to keep up to date on legislation regarding my allowance, status, and licensing needs in accordance. This also applies if I happen to inherit a weapon from a grandparent or similar.

5) If I care about the tax structure of my country, it would be prudent to keep up to date on legislation regarding tax decisions, especially to keep track of which legislative big spending budget cuts or allowances are being made that will affect my taxes, for example the big tax return changes in america of 2019.

6) If I am related to, depended on by, or use Schedule I or otherwise restricted drugs legally or illegally for my medical need(pain, seizures, anxiety, chronic illness, cancer, etc), it would be prduent to keep up to date on legislation to understand how futures decisions will affect my access to my medical care of choice.

7) If I use or am related to someone who uses veterans benefits, SNAP, disability benefits, social security, medicare/medicaid, etc. it would be prudent to keep up to date to understand legislation on how future decisions would affect my/people I know's quality of life.

8) If I am an immigrant or am applying for legal immigrant status of any kind, it would be important for me to keep up to date with current legislation or direction of parties regarding my status as an immigrant and my children.

9) If I care about any of the above, say, I have relatives or friends that are affected by any of the above and wish to support them by voting, donating, or otherwise advocating in alliance with them, it would be important for me to keep up to date with any of the above in order to participate demographically in a system.
And yet, all of those also correlate with IQ. (Well, I'm not sure about sociopathy)

Recycling is not a solution at human time scales, because it is lossy. Recycling is a way of delaying depletion, not eliminating it.

And you're ignoring that we're talking about growth capitalism here. Here if recycling were perfect, if growth continues indefinitely then a point will inevitably be reached where demand exceeds the amount of supply that exists, recycling or not.

If you don't mind I wouldn't necessarily agree with the comment about JWT by Yueting. JWT is just a format, querying backend to get a new token is not necessary (this is only how people often use them). I actually built a small PoC that mints new JWTs on client side (in the browser) signing them with a non-exportable key (through Webcrypto).

> In each case one side is telling stories for political advantage

This is an argument to moderation, though. Hypothetically, "both sides" may not have been doing any research at all, but making up their positions from whole cloth in order to encourage effects that benefit them personally. You might end up either always thinking that the truth was somewhere in between, or that one was right half of the time, and the other was right the other half, when actually the relationship between your sources and the truth was entirely arbitrary.

Especially 1) because you can commonly both be telling the truth and telling a story for political advantage, and 2) because "both sides" might actually only be one entity, with the intention of defining the range of acceptable opinion.
At best, these links are discouraging people from reading the news because some people find it stressful (fair, if people do find it stressful then by all means they should cut back). At worst, these sites are glorifying ignorance. You can't make effective decisions if you don't know what is happening. Sure, you may not be directly impacted by the events you're reading but it's still expanding your knowledge of the world. Not to mention, the second article seems to be operating under the erroneous assumption that books aren't a form of news. They frequently are. They're long-form and have longer latency from the events occurring and books being published. They're still works intended to describe and explain events or phenomena. They're news, even if the authors of your linked articles don't know it.
If you have the time/resources, show those users a message urging them to upgrade and provide links to newer versions. Then monitor traffic levels to see if usage declines to an acceptable level. Depending on the volume of remaining traffic you get, you may be able to contact those users and figure out why they haven't upgraded.
that seems like a slam dunk antitrust case to me, no?
I tried Firefox coming from chrome. Two things were dealbreakers for me

1) I’m a heavy window/tab user. 300+ tabs across 10+ windows is normal. I have not been able to recreate the same tab bar overflow behavior as in chrome, default ff will keep tabs at fixed width and scroll horizontally, making it impossible to see how many tabs there are in the window. Changing css helps but there are still enough problems with small width tabs not showing favicons, always showing (and overlapping) close tab button etc.

2) performance when switching videos e.g. on yt to full screen and back is terrible. Latest MacBook, external uwqhd screen, took upwards of 3 seconds every single time from pressing f to having the video show. Might not sound like a lot but it adds up. If everything else is fast this will just feel extra slow
I'm not really familiar with this industry. Are these Hadoop clusters hosted locally by these businesses? And MapR et all were providing the software/consulting to help manage them?

Then I'm guessing better cloud hosted options came out offering similar capabilities.

If that's the case was it really a big surprise that "cloud" hosting would eat any self-hosted platform's lunch?
I literally can't remember how many years it has been since the last time I heard something positive about Hadoop.

It's at least 4.
Ok, for sake of argument, I'll give you that, although the UN disagrees - they expect the number of babies born per year to be about the same 100 years from now as it is today.

Looking into this more, I got some UN statistics on historic and projected crude birth rates. In 1950, it was 37.2. Today, it's 18.2. They project 13.4 by 2050. Population growth drop lags birth rate drops, due to increased lifespans worldwide. As the last generations of high birth rate get past childrearing years, it'll just go down more.

So yes, the birthrate still outstrips the death rate - but at some point in the 21st century, those numbers will flip, and they've been converging for over 50 years now.

I made the mistake to read the comments on the article, and am shocked of some people's comments (who are obviously not only incels but mentally disturbed). The incels community is a hate breeding ground that can cause real violence in the real world. Some guy aspires to the success of what he calls the dark triad traits: psychopathic, Machiavellian and narcissistic gives examples of such men who had success with women: Ted Bundy, Hitler, etc.. Mind boggling.
And it's empty pessimism to think it couldn't be.

High IQs might have deleterious side effects, but even ignoring the possibility of those ever being fixed- given the association of IQ with negative side effects, if I offered you a pill that would give you an IQ of 80, would you take it?

If we raised the intelligence of everyone future child that would have had an IQ of 80 or below to 100, would that not be an improvement to the human condition? If we eliminated genetic diseases, would that not be an improvement?

In the age of Google (what a paradox lol), at least people can borrow an opinion if one is not available.

100% agreed with this statement: I'm no longer surprised when technical users seem to lack basic knowledge about a particular technology because no one can specialize in everything

I read somewhere that there are lots of hubris & privileged self-ego stoking happening in the IT industry (just look at the tough super technical interview questions you need to answer in every IT job ever). But more than 50% of the software developed or designed in the world is not good enough.

I still have to come across a strong argument that would really make me worried about this kind of tracking done by Google.
That's the software equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.
SaaS CTO Security Checklist
Most of impulse control is circadian... A mono diet or shifting to OMAD or doing a 3-7 day fast can all help reset how you feel in terms of hunger. It's a matter of understanding that you aren't going to starve to death, drink some water and wait a half hour. The feeling will usually just go away if you keep busy. After a few days, it will become more normal.

I find that One Meal a Day works incredibly well as for most people, it's VERY hard to over-eat (for a day) in a single meal in under an hour. The other issue, is I feel that people were sold on low fat, don't eat meat, etc, and I think that has been harmful overall.

Impulse control can be better over time, but the social triggers are the worst.

If I had to associate a place with Elon Musk, LA would probably be it. SpaceX is based in the LA area, and IIRC Musk does live down there somewhere (although I don't think it's in LA proper). Musk has also captured quite a lot of attention lately for his various antics and ventures.

The problem that LA has is that there are a lot of very famous people you might associate with it. It seems like a nearly impossible problem to solve.

I do agree that birthplace would be a more interesting map, but I think it would be more interesting for tiny places. I think LA would suffer from the exact same problem.

HTML5 != XHTML. (If that's what you're saying.)

From what I have read (Im no expert on this) I think they basically have to mine dirt and then put the dirt in a slew of toxic chemicals that break down everything but the rare earth minerals. It leaves the issue of having large amounts of toxic chemicals that need to be disposed of. So any country with lax environmental laws don't have this huge cost (For example CHina just dumps it in the rivers where in the US you would need to spend large amounts of money disposing of it properly.
Funny, that (also non-standard) keyboard shortcut is not shown in the menu anywhere and thus can't easily be remapped using the standard macOS keyboard preferences. I don't know if my Cmd+Shift+N private window remapping is failing due to the conflict, or if it's Firefox just not knowing about the remapping. But either way, it appears I can't easily remap Firefox's reopen last closed window to Cmd+Shift+T like other macOS browsers use.
It happens a LOT ... many people "try" keto, but they wind up just eating low calorie, cutting the carbs, but not adding fattier foods in. You still want a calorie deficit and it isn't magic. Calories and Hormones (insulin, etc) are both huge, overriding factors.

To the exact opposite side of that spectrum/opinion; I rarely use buses in London -underground is more convenient for my routes- but the few times I have to use a but, it mostly is the Night Bus(es).

It amazed me how it makes one stop almost on every block (statistics seem to agree on that). Yes it becomes annoying if your route is 5k-10k (or start-to-end), but I was thinking of all the people that need to use the bus, in the middle of the night, on areas that may not be very well lit, it is MUCH safer if they have to 50m-100m than 1km.

It is just a trade-off between speed vs safety/comfort/convenience.

I am also thinking that during the day this makes the life of older people, people with mobility challenges, parents with prams, shoppers, school children so much more comfortable.
I was born in Houston, Texas, but subsequently lived in 8 other cities in 6 states before I graduated from High School. I usually tell people I am from the last city I lived in when I graduated from High School (even though I haven't had any family that has lived there in decades and I haven't been back since I left for college), but really I don't have a "hometown". I'm not sure what the appropriate city would be for me if I became famous.

Change doesn't happen quickly. If you expect and require it to, then you're going to be guaranteed disappointment.

A big reason why "we're losing" is that kind of defeatist attitude.

I've tried all sort of diets, keto included, the best diet i found is to eat nutritious and balanced diet in moderate quantity (i.e change your relationship with food). Keto in my opinion is too extreme, and is mostly done by people with poor relationship towards food (myself included). This recent diet trend is mainly because modern society made eating a hobby and escape along with forcing most of humanity to live sedentary lives.

> Just look at YouTube denying Chromium-based Edge the new redesigned experience for absolutely zero reason.

The reason is almost certainly a new user agent (compared to non-Chromium Edge) that YouTube didn't expect. Chromium-based Edge is still not stable, and therefore, not properly supported by YouTube.

I don't have time to test this, but I'm willing to bet that you'd get the same result by using any indie browser that happens to send a user agent that YouTube doesn't recognize.
I don't think that mental model really works for these sorts of traits. The functions are highly nonlinear and the cross-terms are very dense. And, you still haven't addressed the unintended side effects problem, which would only be well understood after a stastical cohort of people received the treatment, and were compared to a carefully matched control group, studied over decades.

But all that does is move up the threshold. Feels like you and the parent comment are assuming the threshold stays fixed. That is most likely not the case. Uber is setting the stars threshold at some arbitrary number to achieve some quality goal based on their internal data. Its not like Uber can't see the distribution of stars. Based on how people vote, they pick a cutoff in order to achieve their quality goals. If people change the way they are rating drivers, that cutoff will change as well.
In other countries, you could start talking to people and prepare for your travel. Lookup a location on a map before you go there and learn to orient yourself. What is the purpose of travel if all you get more of the same because some algorithm found it "interesting" for whatever reason. About 10 years back people lived without smartphones. All you loose is some comfort. In turn you start using you brain again and gain features;)
It's a shame Microsoft didn't want to use Firefox's codebase instead of Chromium for its new Edge browser. I don't know what Microsoft thinks it gained by doing this, but I'm almost certain they'll regret it in the long run, because it's a trap by Google.

Google, Microsoft new "bestie" in this collaboration, will screw them over once it's clear that Microsoft "can't turn back" from using Chromium or even fork it.

It is possible, though, to take a wrong idea- or even just a slightly incomplete impression- and use your intelligence to run very far with it.

Amusing example: my son refused, for a couple years, to learn single-digit addition facts. He already understood that there was no limit to the number of integers, but since he didn't know that single-digit addition facts could be composed to add arbitrarily large numbers, he silently reasoned that the infinitude of integers doomed any attempt to learn addition. Everyone talking about specific addition problems was a chump! He just went on for a couple grades thinking everyone was stupidly wasting their time before we had a conversation that unearthed his reasoning.

And that wasn't even starting with an incorrect belief- just some missing information. Imagine the sorts of explosions you could get yourself into starting with one of those and reasoning as far as you can with it!
