> a mailing list (which most of the people don't even know how to use)

My biggest problem with a mailing list is -- I have no idea how to use it but avoid spam.

But obviously they are still used, so there must be some way? How do others solve that problem?
Yeah, I know what you mean about the reduced daylight, we live at the same latitude as Nunavut. Fortunately good headlamps are plentiful on eBay, also works wonders for the kids when they're 2 years and older.

If you're up north, maybe you also do cross-country skiing (or snow shoes). If so, you could consider getting a pulka like the Fjellpulken Children. It's awesome, but a bit expensive, and maybe hard to find over there. They work well up to the age of 4-5, then they want to ski by themselves.

>Since people are saying the article doesn't, and you are saying it does, it behooves you to demonstrate this.

The article stands on its own and I don't have anything to prove to you. It's funny because while I don't think it's a very well written article, I will (and did) highlight biased within critiques.

> Blatantly false.

This made me laugh, thank you. Again your bias is showing through and I stand by my original comment on this aspect of language.

>It's amazing you draw conclusions about people's gender.

Bravo! Spoken like a true alt-right "warrior" mocking liberals with "did you just assume my gender?". Good re-phrasing though.

Now I'm not saying you are, but the tone is unmistakable my friend ;)

>Throwing in non-sequiturs is not helpful.

Ahhh but it was a relevant comparison to your position. You may not like it, but you framed the gendered example the exact way.

>And frankly, I do not think you understand what "trite" means. It doesn't mean irrelevant or not worthy of discussion.

I used the word exactly how you defined it in your comment. Again you may not like the comparison, but it's your own framing looking back at you. ;)

>And as is often the case in such discussions, this seems to be more about you than about LanceH or me. Why would you even tell me/others your criterion for what you would give more salt to?

So providing context for others regarding the sentiment of original comment is all about me. Interesting analysis.

>We are not in an arena aimed to satisfy your perspective, and you are not doing an adequate job of backing your perspective. Furthermore you are avoiding addressing the comments/arguments made to you, and have not even attempted to acknowledge that you understand the counterarguments

Oh I understand your position well enough. It's a decent job, a bit dressed up, but it succumbs under any positive pressure. I'm glad to hear you and your friend are close, and seem share the same biases. Thank you for exemplifying them in your own words.

And also thank you for attempting to clarify the original commenters words as I initially thought it was well meaning, this past comment a little less so.

> why is the default notification for tracking a bug/feature request sending an email for every person who upvotes it?

This is incredibly frustrating. I commented / followed a bug a few years ago that they clearly will never fix (start-up stealing focus on Linux), and have received tens, maybe hundreds of emails from upvotes and "me too" comments.

Fix, Wontfix, anything from the team, I'm in, but wtf would I ever need to know about upvotes?! You could send me a monthly stat email on my bugs. That would be great, actually. It's weird to see things that annoying from a team that makes such a great software suite. Almost as annoying as having my IDE steal focus upon start-up.

I just read Mythical Man Month, it talks about this in various parts. The idea being that the architect generally shouldn't worry as much about "How" now that you have to worry a lot more about "What" gets produced. And that determining "What" is generally harder. If you try to meddle too much in "How", your people will lose confidence. Likewise, if you let anything slip through "What" wise, you'll lose control. So it advocates being a (wise, considered) dictator when it comes to "What", and trusting the people around you to determine the most effective "How". Because you come from a coding background, your suggestions are believable and maybe even helpful, but they are nothing more than suggestions in the new role.
QR code gets a tad more secure if you couple with geolocation prompt.
For those considering it, just please remember you can still do google searches from DDG, and imho much more smoothly. For example, I don't even know if googles date operator works anymore, and it's too slow for my taste to click the date range I want in google, so if I want google results for the last year I just do !gyear, etc.

Once you start remembering the DDG bang operators things get much smoother. Also, one more thing, DDG has a cli client that is pretty awesome if you live in the cli like I do.

The taking of quality of life is a given anyway, there simply is not enough stuff to satisfy everyone. There are already large parts of the population in the US living in poverty and the middle class is being decimated.
It depends on what kind of genre you are talking about.

For fantasy, I would say "Lies of Locke Lamora" is one of the best Audiobooks ever narrated. There is a character called 'Father Chains', and this character is voiced in an iconic way; I am sure you will like it.

For non-fiction, I would say "The Smartest Guys in the Room" is a canonical account of what happened with Enron. This is an interesting book because there are a lot of common traits shared between Enron and many of the unicorns we see today.

I have others that you might like, but these two come to mind in their respective genres.
The Readme says "Warning that it can take a long time: between 20 to 30 days."

How in the world can it take so long time? The csv file seems to be 24mb in size and the computation performed can't be that advanced. Did the author do something seriously wrong?
Frankly, the whole issue is overblown. The kid really does not need to break leg to learn something profound. We have old school playgrounds here, but kids don't like them more. Metal slide is too hot in summer and it all gets old quicker then colorful new ones.

Most kids don't go to playground after school, because nowdays parents are expected to go with them and parents don't like that or wants to cook. Playgrounds are super boring for parents. When kids are big enough to go alone, they don't know what to do there.

Kids over 8 mostly want to either play elaborate stories or talk.

"Naturally" there are no playgrounds, gardens at best and risk there is from tools. When I take kids to forest, there are only rarely dangerous situations. Most trees are impossible to climb at, exceptions are the ones with fruits in the gardens. The ground is soft.

The kind of injuries that happened in old playgrounds like stucking head somewhere or strangling on rope or hand stuck in seesaw don't happen.
I have every confidence that once self-driving cars have done a pretty good job of mastering city/fair-weather driving conditions, that ML will be able to handle poor weather just as good or better than humans. For example, humans are susceptible to panic when they start to lose control of the vehicle and do unproductive things like lock up the brakes. Even experienced drivers do this. Self-driving autos won't.

But yes, in the short term, self-driving is a non-starter for many regions during winter months or inclement weather.

-Across at least 4 versions of iOS, I’ve found that if you start the Personal Hotspot while the Wi-Fi is/was recently connected, potential Wi-Fi hotspot clients won’t be able to connect.

-My personal workaround is to turn off Personal Hotspot, turn of Wi- Fi, then turn Personal Hotspot back on. This produces a prompt that asks if I want to `Turn on Wi-Fi` or use `Bluetooth and USB only`. Selecting `Turn of Wi-Fi` resolves the issue.

-I’ve been doing this for years. I never thought much of it, until at the end of a recent haircut- My stylist was once again fumbling with her Clover card reader. Usually when this happens, I just pay cash. This time I asked if I could take a look. She explained that the Clover gets internet from her iPhone, but occasionally and inexplicably it disconnects. She said sometimes rebooting the iPhone resolves the issue.

-I showed her my work around, and she sheepishly admitted that she’d probably forget. She came to the US as a refugee from Vietnam- age and language aren’t making this any easier. I ended up using stitched together, marked up screenshots to save PDF instructions for her.

-Until last week it never occurred to me to report this “bug” to Apple. I can’t even remember how I arrived at my workaround.

“They didn’t say no” isn’t consent.
I'm inclined to agree with you but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21303618
To break things down a bit... Are there people on the right fighting for universal health care? As far as I know that was a factual statement. Same with "anti-white/anti-male idpol is mostly left" - after all, the "pro-white-male idpol" groups seem to be on the right. This doesn't mean the people fighting for universal healthcare on the left are the same people embracing identity politics! But they do seem to share the same tent.

But to address your ad hominem attacks:

> Maybe you heard people complaining about how "socialized" medicine would create death panels. Did you reflect on why they were scaring old people in this way?

Well, few things here. For one, any form of medical resource distribution creates death panels or the equivalent. There are not unlimited resources, therefore some people will not receive all they could have used. I don't think this is an argument against socialized health care. (I think that socializing health care would result in massive cost disease, and that efforts in the US to move consumers farther and farther from the prices of health care are also counterproductive, but that's unrelated)

> Or the focus on how the left are actively wanting to kill babies, rather than wanting access to reproductive healthcare. Again, why would right wing media present this patently false image? What are they trying to achieve?

I'm pro-choice, actually. Also pro gay marriage, drug legalization, good sex ed in schools, etc.

But as to why people would present abortion access as killing babies? That's a really trivial question to answer - it's because they believe abortion to be literally killing babies.

> If you can understand that then you might understand why the media you consume is telling you that the left hates you.

I wouldn't say hates - at least not the vast majority of the left. Doesn't care about? Sure.

> Final hint, the phrase "identity politics" is itself identity politics.

Are you saying that the descriptor is wrong? It's been around for a while. [0] And if it's not wrong, I don't see what the objection is.

Kids have two big advantages on slippery conditions, both coming from the square-cube-law: they have a lot more traction relative to the torque they can put into a stride, and their moment of inertia tensor is less ill-conditioned.

> The main downside for me concerning AirBnb is it takes a long time to analyze the listings to find quality accommodations.

Completely agree. If you don't want to put in the time or effort required to analyze for “assumed”, “missing” , and “bonus” amenities, scrutinize each listing’s description, photos, and guest reviews, and sniff out the nature of each Airbnb and the host’s motivations, I say stay away from Airbnb. More thoughts here - https://blog.michaelscepaniak.com/how-to-find-choose-and-boo...

The more negative comments I read here, the more I think that most people shouldn't use Airbnb. With that being said, I've been happy with Airbnb, warts and all.
A quick scan of articles doesn't explain why the IRS would be so keen to agree and a quick scan of the web didn't bring up any obvious answer to that. Could someone explain?
I usually right click and select an element blocker.

There was a time wayy back when a browser would prompt user when site requests to push out a cookie [up to about mid 90's AFAIR], but that was before the web was hijacked for commercial interests.

now there are often so many cookies with the typical website that a manual dialogue would waste all your user time.

so i think thats where the decision was made to include all cookies, in one broad permission setting.
Except that doesn't tell the whole story. You can toss a plastic bottle in a trash bin and still have it end up in the rivers. Animals get into bins all the time. Along with imperfect collection mechanisms -- bin too stuffed? A bottle or two falls out of the garbage truck? Landfill exposed to the elements?

Relying on humans to do the right thing with the bottles is a good intentions solution. And in tech, at least, we don't like good intentions solutions. If relying on good intentions worked, we'd already have solved the problem because people already have good intentions.

Instead, we need to make it impossible to do the wrong thing. How do we make it impossible for plastic bottles to end up in the river? One way is to stop making plastic bottles.

> Sure you can buy something similar from an art forger, but its not the same, the same way that listening to a album on a set of speakers is not the same as having the artist play live for you.

That's not a double-blind standard - you are comparing pipes to chairs. Although I can understand that one may care for the homeopathy or placebo effect of having the "real" item.

But I believe that there are artists that could make a better Pollock than Pollock himself.
Pipelines are far more energy efficient. A cost comparison isn't that interesting to me. Pipelines are usually cheaper over time, but I don't care about bringing costs down for fossil fuel production.
I think being exposed to a wide variety of people is a good thing. Historically I've gotten a bunch of great insights from Sivers but I haven't really read anything by him in years. Similar case for PG.

Reading people like Sivers/PG is great but one shouldn't consider them deities or start taking everything they say as truth. They simply have an unusually good signal-to-noise ratio in their output. Even so, it's not necessarily worth it to stick around for the re-runs.

"Shouldn't" implies some kind of higher authority capable of enforcing such a feature universally across browsers, when no such authority exists.

Browsers give you all kinds of opt-out capabilities, if that's something you're interested in. The fact is, most people aren't interested.
> Reporting that it leads to an increased death count is simply false: it is a small rise followed ...

Which is exactly what the authors of the article said. As quoted by the original commenter:

You can never get rid of wagons in the city; the goal must be to reduce their use, and for that I think you must convince people that they don't need to own one, because if they do, they're more likely to use it, since the fixed costs are large compared to the marginal (per ride). And to convince them of that, you'll have to make them trust they'll have an available, affordable and comfortable alternative for those situations were they really need one.

We've never seen real attacks with today's new generation hypersonic missiles, like the ones that China has. I'm sure they've tested. The time to react is so short, it seems like it will have at least some effect. When they are going miles a second how well will they be able to target? How quickly will the ships be able to start quick movement? I see it as at least a very possible threat. Send a hypersonic missile or 3 every hour and then a series of unmanned fighers like the stingray.
It annoys me how any mention of the In-Q-Tel relationship to certain tech firms is met with derision and downvotes and accusations of crazy conspiracy theory. It's as if NSL's and Prism were just a blip on the radar people want to pretend isn't happening anymore. Snowdens docs though released in 2013 were from 2007! Imagine how much more embedded and pervasive the system is (which probably just got a name change as is standard when programs similar are revealed to the public).

Add in whatever the modern version of Operation Mockingbird is and those companies at the very least are sure to have been infiltrated after the fact. Probably willingly. You'd be surprised how servile people get when men in black suits with 3letter badges show up and say the words "National Security". All these factors and more in aggregate make the probability that there was government influence and involvement highly likely.

I've seen this as well. And the companies I've worked for were fairly small and had good relations across departments. Despite asking for people to report bugs and having processes to make it easy, Customer Service almost inevitably decides at some point that it's too hard or stressful or pointless to report bugs, and they stop. And they give the customers work-arounds instead of reporting the bug.

And it goes the right way for a while after a huge embarrassing bug that causes a problem with a major client and the bosses have to scold everyone, and then slowly stops again.

A ton of it, from having other drones capture the hostile ones with nets, to disrupting the hostile drones RF signals to force it into landing.

Been a bit of a fad a while ago when drones first became somewhat mainstream.
You mean a gun or missile? Unlikely in a populated area. There are several companies that sell equipment that's promised to jam these drones, however.
It's relatively easy to shoot down a drone, you can do it with birdshot. The problem would be falling debris and the safety hazard that represents. Might be a moot point in cases of fire, but in general that would be a pretty specialized startup around a task that a basic shotgun would already excel at.
I'm going to beat this drum again. When you have a product with negative externalities, like plastic packaging or fossil fuels, price those into the product through a tax. Then, for bonus points, take that tax revenue and put it towards incentivizing greener solutions. The market will then solve your problem remarkably quickly and efficiently. Markets are fantastic, but they don't account for externalities so we need to add that in through regulation to keep a level playing field.
Replacing the previous packaging that had a deposit and return glass bottle with single use plastic wasn't demand led. They corrected quite well for the known tendencies of people - consumers - to be forgetful or drop litter.
Apple TV+ (tv.apple.com), just launched with a billion dollar launch campaign is pretty broken in the most popular browser/os combo on earth: chrome/windows. (It's also equally crappy on firefox/windows.)

(And there are some really weird design decisions in the Apple TV app. I think they're fundamentally stupid and/or bugs, but the designers probably disagree.)

It seems like they fixed some of the bugs since yesterday.. but.. they had like two years to build this thing. Not impressed. There are plenty bugs left that are trivial to trigger. (Random example: press space while playing to pause, then press play to continue. Observe the glitchy weirdo animations.)

Now that I think of it, I assumed someone else would report the individual 3-4 P1 bugs I've found. (or well, that they would test this themselves...)

I think I held off because I figured that if they didn't catch these obvious bugs, they didn't care. But now I read that Chrome is actually a supported browser for Apple TV+, so.. I dunno what they doing during those two years.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a mention of Vsauce's "A defense of comic sans" video: https://youtu.be/GUCcObwIsOs
They shouldn't. What happens if the car runs our of gas or the software/internet is down and it needs to be manually steered even a slight distance? Say up onto the lift in a mechanic's garage? There are at least few situations where direct control is easier and safer than software control.
If someone attacks with nuclear missiles or torpedoes that's going to be the end of the world, and we are going to attack back with same. I don't think there will be 20 waves. I think there will be massive destruction and then just a few big ships left. But hopefully we'll never find out.
