by your logic, any ad can be reframed as "a lame suggestion". They're still ads, though, and still very unwelcome. And last time I checked, there wasn't a switch to easily turn them off, completely and permanently.
Right. The biggest problem is that they make it extremely hard to compete with them.

Being a marketplace, it's hard for another player to capture enough of both sides of the market to gain momentum. Buyers will just go to the big players, which can then take a hefty 20+% commission. It's a hard-to-break circle. Any ideas?

Checks are a little different. Many banks will not allow immediate availability of funds with checks which allows banks some time to catch fraud. Many businesses also communicate their check registers to banks which prevent forged checks from clearing the bank account.
There is a relatively simple solution, one that's been the norm in many other industries where there are shortages of field-specific knowledge and skills - in-house training.

This may not be an option for startups but, then, maybe startups should focus on hiring more experienced professionals who can, with time, bring freshly graduated engineers up to speed, as well as helping design systems and processes tailored for the company and product.

I've been using Thunderbird for several years, I got really annoyed with the Windows mail app and Outlook for countless problems. Thunderbird has always been very simple and works great and clean.

Recently - I think version 60 or so, broke minimize to tray, very annoying. But someone fixed it and came out with a new version. It's a feature that must be included in Thunderbird from the get go.

Another great feature is being able to copy a profile folder over to Thunderbird from another machine to another and I have all my emails bang up to date.

I never thought I would use Thunderbird.

I usually use my Macs until I feel an upgrade is worth it (I can sometimes get five years out one), and then upgrade and give the old one away to someone who could use it. The cost for me is really that I'm not going to want to keep my current MBP (bought at the end of 2017) for as long as I usually would, just because they keyboard sucks.

Following the law strictly != safer.

In some countries, if I'd obey the law 1:1 I'd definitely be in a crash of some sort.

Bending the law, was the reason I always got home safe.

This will probably be the toughest part for full automation to figure out unless we lived in an Utopia.

In a comedic way, it would be cool if the car could analyze the driving style of the other cars in traffic and change its own behavior accordingly to blend in while still obeying the law somehow. It would make driving from Sweden to Soutern Italy really fun.

The Tricky Problem with Other Minds
Thanks, but please close your quote!
"c" is as decisively refuted a claim as any in history. The Jehovah's Witnesses have a better case that their claim that the world would end in 1914 came true.

Value theory is an intellectual dead end, one that ultimately doomed Marxist economics. That's why it's necessary to say it's not about any of the things that people thought it was about for the first hundred years, but different things that suddenly became important post-Sraffa. That's why it's necessary to say that Sraffa was "missing the whole point of the theory" -- because Sraffa ultimately killed the theory.

The standards in philosophy and the social sciences are different. A philosopher can proclaim that the English Civil War or the Glorious Revolution were the result of class struggle. A historian has to actually get in there and study the evidence, and up close grand narratives tends to fall apart.
>I am really interested in learning how to validate that any gold I buy is legitimate. I didn't realize that was possible for "just a normal guy." Do you have more information about this? Like, is there a guide?

Nitric acid and 'touchstone' are an ok start, but if you have a larger specimen it could just be clad.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Touchstone_(assaying_tool)

You can buy that kinda stuff at sites like https://www.goldfeverprospecting.com/goteki.html which have the black stone/touchstone, test needles, acid etc.

You can also do electronic testing, this used the conductivity of the specimen to give you a (generally accurate) idea of what purity of gold you are dealing with, this is usually used for jewellery. It's alright if you are familiar with gold jewellery, have a kt stamping and just want to do a quick non-destructive test.

You can do a specific gravity test via water displacement.

You can do XRF testing (if you've ever watched Cody's Lab he has one of these handhelds they vary in price and quality).

But if you really want to know for sure you have to do destructive testing like fire assay. If something is decently thick you'll need to drill it too, you'll even see this with silver once you start to get to the 100 troy ounce range sometimes.

Is this really how negatively you view the world? This is what I tell my kids about dating people at work.

"You guys have spent the first few years of adult life getting to the same place. You probably have similar values as a result. You probably even have similar values in your upbringing. Now you want to tell me that you should ignore people who have similar values to you and go meet random people at a bar or otherwise make your romantic life more difficult? It sounds kind of stupid."

I used to work in a family office where inter-employee relationships were more or less encouraged. And this was the reason.

More to your point though, with men having affairs with women who are "lower in status" at the company, I refer you to the following research:

https://www.asanet.org/sites/default/files/attach/journals/a...

TL;DR: main determinants of divorce are NOT sharing of household chores, or a wife's financial independence, it is the lack of a job for the husband.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2...

TL;DR: women consider strong men more attractive

These combine to show that women are generally more attracted to men who are "strong" and have a job. In the context of work, there is a social hierarchy of men by default and those higher up would be considered stronger.

It's not like these women are "helpless" to choose their mates. They want strong men. Don't treat them like children.
Guilty until you prove yourself innocent. It's efficient, but unethical and immoral.

Requiring large entities such as government or monopolies to consider you innocent until proven guilty in a 3rd party controlled system, such as a court, is a fundamentally important check on power.

> For prototyping using React and TS sounds like a bad idea, because React is not that well supported by the TS community.

Not really true and guess you misunderstood me and are not on the latest state of things. You can perfectly use the TS compiler as the compiler for your JSX code. Then you can decide case by case when to use TSX or not. and many major libs (mobx, formik) are written in TS and perfectly support TS.

I'd disagree with you statement that long usage of a typed language makes you faster. It is about choosing the right tools and static typing ist not always the right answer. But this is exactly what annoys me: the urge to evangilize everyone with static typing.

Nah, I don't fit into either of your categories.

In both circumstances it's a great, sufficiently powerful, nice-to-use machine which I'm productive on. Getting this right _is_ possible. I do fear the day I have to "upgrade" though...

For what it's worth, I think Ryanair successfully markets itself as both cheap and poor quality. Whenever for example they announce they are considering charging passengers to use the loo, or in fact charging people to carry on a bag, it negatively affects their brand which paradoxically increases their presence in the minds of customers looking to fly in Europe cheaply.
I just started in a new role a few months ago and was given a new MBP. I used an older one in my last role and loved it, but the new ones I simply can't stand. For starters the keyboards feel cheap, I needed 2 - 3 dongles just to plug in all my external monitors, keyboard and mouse. I gave up on the apple mouse since when it dies it's belly up due to where the charging cable is, that's simply poor design.

I was also always swapping out dongles for my monitors as it was 50/50 if the monitor would come back online.

I could go on and on, but the short of it is I went to our IT team and told them I wanted a Win10 machine. I was the first person, hopefully not the last, to turn in an Apple laptop for a windows, I became an instant legend.

TBH, I don't miss it at all. I've got WSL and can do everything I did on that MBP on this ThinkPad. It's nice to have plenty of ports without ugly dongles and a proper docking station.

IMO, Apple's lost it since Job's passing.

There is absolutely no reason to think the brain is non-algorithmic in any way, to the extent that you can even define such a nonsense statement without waving your hands about quantum idiocy like Penrose in his senility. The default assumption in science is that any phenomenon is explainable and predictable, not the opposite: you don't get to invert the burden of proof on that front just because it would make your point (intelligence involves non-algorithmic woo) easier to make.

Even neuroscientists, who are more pessimistic about the prospect of AGI than anyone else, generally agree that the brain is ultimately not doing anything involving woo (with the exception of a few notably crazy religious ones), and is effectively just a computer. Neuroscientists think it's doing more involved computations than AI researchers hope, but it's still just crunching data.

> are you saying that every specie I see is ending up being a human?

No scientist argues this. Nor does any scientist argue that humans evolved from modern apes.

If you're arguing in good faith, an introductory text on microbial evolution is where you'll find approachable answers. They're on human time scales and adequately describes the multi-path mechanism by which mutation and natural selection lead to speciation and evolution.
Brief Introduction to strace and ltrace
One thing that is nice about computer science, perhaps as compared the natural sciences, is that a Ph.D. is absolutely a valuable industry degree. Just look at some of the best examples: Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat to name two. Many modern companies in the computer industry - though not all - value Ph.D.s and actively try to hire them.
Two of the admins in our new WoW-guild got banned by Discord for inviting guild applicants (who had submitted forms asking to be invited) to our server.

After a few messages there is phone verification and then after continuing to send out the accounts were banned. Contacting support was just a big 'we confirm the terms of service breach and we so not reinstate accounts'.

Those accounts were in some cases the sole admins of discord communities, and the ToS breach can't have been of anything specified in the ToS, but just falls under 'anything we decide in addition'.

But there is no alternative service people want to use.

> If someone were really motivated to solve problems in that area, do you really feel they would be given the time to explore it?

Yes. Beware though - some parts of the issue might be more political rather than technical (eg. Team A wants user accounts banned for violating XYZ policy, while Team B has other data which shows those user accounts aren't bad, but can't share the data with Team A because that violates privacy terms).

For issues that are purely technical (for example, the automated spam detection system has a false positive on an obscure but legit library), any Google employee can send a pull request to fix it, and in general your pull request will be accepted and deployed.
My mid-2015 MacBook Pro was manufactured outside the recall window (July 2017). It is not a dangerous device. But I doubt I can convince the TSA officer that, and my options will probably be to either hand over the MacBook Pro or not fly at all.
Disagree. TS' type system is fully featured compared to others and what you described as an disadvantage is actually an advantage or TS' killer feature: you can gradually convert a dynamic code base into a static one where needed. IDK of any other language that allows this.
The Recent Resignation of Italys PM Threatens the Euro with a Parallel Currency
Ayup. Finally broke down and bought a Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen running Windows 10 and Debian dual booted.

I have a useful keyboard, Bluetooth that doesn't randomly die, graphics drivers that don't suck and a MATTE SCREEN. I didn't even realize that you could get a laptop with one anymore--I practically cried tears of joy when I opened it up and didn't see a reflection in the screen.

I'm slowly transitioning off of my 2015 Macbook Pro Retina to Linux on the Lenovo. I've had a few issues, but I can't say that my OS X experience has been all roses either. The OS X machine randomly loses Bluetooth, drops my printer at irregular intervals, and occasionally won't find my monitor's highest resolutions.

To be honest, Linux really isn't that much more annoying than OS X anymore. Linux has gotten better, but OS X feels like it has gotten a LOT worse.

We are the silent majority (I think). I'm also very happy with the new keyboard and actually came to hate the old 2015 model keyboard.

I live in a relatively dusty place/country that you can see grain dust on top of the laptop at the end of the week. I was concerned reading reports before buying the laptop. But now it's almost a year and the keyboard is fine.

My guess is:

- Some models have problems.

- Some people are not comfortable with the keyboard and thus make typing mistakes?

Does it have no cons though? Not really. The trackpad is huge and sometimes I mistakenly click with my palm. The Touchbar is sometimes useful but also slower than typing on a regular keyboard (esc/sound/luminosity).
