That's not how it works with children. Unless you have abortion easily available for poor people and sterilisation easily available for folks that don't want children... you might not have a choice. If you are male, you can't force stop an accidental pregnancy. Luckily, though, male sterilisation is quite effective. It is generally more difficult for females to get sterilized (especially if you aren't married and/or don't have children), it has more risk of failure, is more invasive, and is more expensive. All other birth control methods can fail - people get pregnant on the pill. Condoms break. And so on. Your employer might not even cover birth control.

And these things don't even begin to cover things like rape, incest, and underage pregnancy where a guardian doesn't allow abortion.

Children are not always preventable

Other folks have already addressed the medical problems, so I'm gonna pass on it.

> We should start a rating boycott where we rate highest for all ratings.

This company I've worked at for about a year now is the first place I've been exposed to worker ratings in my career, and this has been my strategy. I refuse to play the game, and give everyone a perfect score no matter what. It absolutely does not benefit us workers in any way to give someone less than perfect marks across the board. It is literally nothing but a tool used by management to provide justification when it comes time to downsize. Furthermore I've noticed that it tends to breed a culture of distrust and backstabbing among colleagues, who may use the opportunity as retribution for personal slights. It's an awful policy.
Interesting, I see absolutely no problem with this. There's no reason to use worse chips in USB-C chargers, because the cost savings would be minimal and possibly outweighed by software development costs.

Nice post. The graph of the sphere, the cone and the cylinder probably needs a 3D version just before it, so it's clear that they are 3D objects. (With a small doll or plastic eye to show the point of view?)

[Request for someone with a lot of Blender capabilities: Make a 3D version of the graph, where the back half of the objects are opaque and the front half are transparent. Since you already have the 3D model, bonus points for another version where the top third of the objects is transparent and the bottom two thirds are opaque.]

> I agree that seeing a therapist for 5 years may indicate they're not actually helping you progress.

It may also indicate you really need the therapy. That's the conundrum.

You need sometimes assess (reflect), possibly with your therapist, how they are aiding you effectively. In The Netherlands, there are waiting lists for psychiatrists (and a shortage), as well as waiting lists for specialized psychologists; hence they get paid either way. They'd rather have a client who benefits from their therapy.

I'm Dutch speaker, we're known to be very direct, but I too believe adding "Please" in front of a request does not per se make it more polite. Another example that bothers me quite a lot is adding "Thanks" to a request without awaiting a reply. Writing "Can you please do xyz? Thanks" makes it come over as an instruction instead of a request, even though the author may have had the best intentions (express his gratitude). Or maybe I'm just overly sensitive ;)

Before the Internet, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit hobby forums it was your music that defined you.

If you listened to metal you dressed that way too, indie pop another way, your music defined who you were, your friends, the magazines you bought.

There are just so many ways for kids to define themselves these days, music is important but I don't think they feel defined by what they listen to (not to the same extent).

I am jealous of how cheap music is now, I wish it could have been cheaper in my youth.

In that case [1], I can recommend a psychosis or a psychoactive drug (such as LSD). With both (though not LSD but another one which I acquired legally),

I was able to self-reflect very well, and criticize myself to obliteration. The thing is, normally, I already feel like I do as well (regardless of whether I do, regardless of how other see that). It hurts too much. In the two examples I mentioned, no such pain was felt. None whatsoever.

Obviously, I don't recommend one getting a psychosis, but there are benefits to it (FWIW, I had multiple, mostly short ones, and one long one).

I've been using your service as my main search engine on desktop and phone for more than one month (I made an xml file to load it as search engine.) It's okish but not very good at dealing with misspelling, with news and with images. Sometimes I touch the Google button at the end of the page to find what I'm looking for. I hope you keep track of the keywords that go to Google and use them to improve your index. Anyway, it's a good service, thank you.
Absolutely - the file system also has attributes like atime - the last accessed time of a file. It isn't as granular on windows, but a search could still prioritize files by when they were last read.

That's possible, but according to both the dealer and the eventual owner, both were able to use the features... assuming that's true, the contract is irrelevant - the car was sold with the options included, Tesla doesn't get to disable them after the fact because they screwed up.

As noted in other comments, the Monroney only applies to new car sales, so it's not part of this sale other than serving as a piece of information about the original build. A buyer who saw the sticker would reasonably think "oh, this car came with FSD," [tries FSD to confirm], "Yup, has FSD! Cool, it's worth $4000 more to me now."

If you’re this attached you could literally go on a short weekend trip or day trip leaving your computer behind.

Also, generally, don’t forget to take vacation time. Especially solo trips!

But I actually have the opposite problem, I struggle to do any sort of computing work, even leisure projects, after my work day is over. For me, work has ruined the hobbyist aspect of computing.

Sometimes you need to get yourself in the mentality of the employee who knows that they’re just selling precious life to the employer. I absolutely don’t stay past 4:59 and usually work something closer to a 9:30 to 4 day (nobody really notices).

On the bright side, at least you’re motivated by your work.

I understand that, there's a certain ritual to playing a vinyl that will appeal to some. Objectively from a sound quality perspective it's the same thing as plopping a CD or playing a (correctly compressed) file from your computer but the ritual and potentially the nostalgia make it significant.

I feel the same way with videogames: plopping a disc in my old PlayStation feels "better" than playing on an emulator. You get the sound of the system, the composite noise on the TV. It's not rational, it's actually generally a worse experience than using an emulator, but it feels like home.

I'm perfectly fine with that, most of what's fun in life is effectively pointless. What annoys me is when people make up pseudo-science to justify their tastes. Analog sound being warmer is nonsense, you can master a CD to be as warm as you want. CDs effectively have the range to reproduce anything we can hear[1], you could record a vinyl playback, master it on a CD and it'll sound exactly the same.

[1] Okay, technically the human ear has a higher dynamic range than a CD can reproduce, but that doesn't really matter in practice because in practice you never want to master a track where some parts are as loud as an airplane taking off and others are as quiet as somebody whispering at the other side of a stadium. And it's not like vinyl would fare better anyway, that's mostly an argument for the audiophile nuts who claim that 16bits per sample is not enough.

Sure. That's great if you can use less. Hopefully you aren't just above the poverty line in a drafty rental with and old electric force-air heating system, a 20+-year-old electric water heater, window air conditioners, and an old electric stove that was provided with the rental.

The bits that folks have actual control over are small and are often taking up less and less electricity: For example, light bulbs. New bulbs mean it doesn't always make a noticable difference when you turn lights off. You can probably use the television and computers less, but this isn't likely. You can possibly turn down the heat,but only to an extent and even less so if you have an infant in the house or if someone is elderly or otherwise sick. You can't use less refrigeration.

Even for folks that can afford it, there are actual limits to how much you can save on electricity. If you go low enough, you wind up paying a minimum monthly fee and few will stop using it altogether.
You imply that the outperformers would be fairly recognized by management.

I guess that both concerning layoffs and bonuses doing lifo respectively uniform or linear with time at the company would have best results.

You are correct that the Monroney only applies to new car sales, so it's not part of this sale other than serving as a piece of information about the original build.

But, a buyer who saw the sticker would reasonably think "oh, this car came with FSD," [physically uses FSD to confirm], "Yup, has FSD! Cool, it's worth $4000 more to me now." Whether or not the sales contract listed FSD is irrelevant if the car left Tesla with the option installed.
That’s what many companies did for GDPR. Not sure you can do that for patents.
There’s a lot of music that is hard to find on popular digital distribution networks like Spotify. They have gotten better to be honest but I still have vinyl records where there’s either not a digital version or more likely there is somewhere but it’s taken from a record. Or even taken from the original mastering and not remastered for digital which does make it sound awful compared to the original mastering. This was a huge problem in the early 90’s with CD’s and why so many CD’s from that era sound awful. Most of the more popular albums and quite a few niche ones have since been remastered for digital. But there’s a lot of obscure music that hasn’t been remastered for financial reasons or the masters don’t exist.

For new music recorded digital a vinyl record will probably sound worse really.
Communists tried that. Didn't work very well.

Worker owned co-ops will indeed solve this problem, because they are very hard to scale. So they won't ever reach the level where mazes are a real problem. This being said, they also have the potential to come with their own set of issues - trying to get a bunch of people to decide things is also a very time consuming endeavor.
Yeah I assume this is some indexing snafu. Or who knows. I enjoy this behavior more than it annoys me nowadays :)
I have never used "AI Curated playlists", and I'm listening to music only by full albums (no shuffles, no random, nothing), because one unit of my favorite music is album, not track (still).

But I don't understand vynil records at all. It is worse than even CD, not to mention high-res downloadable albums. Dynamic range is worse, noise floor is worse, stereo separation is worse.

I'm old enough to listen A LOT of LP records in the past, before widespread of CDs in my country (ok, we have affordable CDs later than USA or UK or Eastern Europe, for sure), but, no, never again!

There was period of time, when mastering for CDs was much worse than mastering for Vynil, because CDs could bear "black wall" of sound and Vynil cannot. But, again, Loudness War seems to end about 15 years ago...
The TL;DR I got from this article:

* Fees will go up for card not present transactions (online and phone) and fall a bit for card present transactions.

* Overall, Visa is increasing fees to make more money than before since there aren’t any other details provided.

My take is that if Mastercard plays it right, this is a good time to capture a higher market share at Visa’s expense (though it wouldn’t come anywhere close to toppling Visa’s lead).

More generally, I’d like to see companies be forced to disclose a list of third party integrations/companies that are used to build apps.

But even disclosure isn’t necessarily enough because most people simply don’t care or understand those details. Universal standards need to be applied to activity data anonymization, security, and consent.

It’s actually somewhat surprising to me that the tech industry hasn’t more aggressively self-regulated. The situation reminds me of how the ESRB was established, or how the motion picture industry self-censored after something like the 1930s.

These industries understood that if they didn’t address complaints that governments would eventually write regulations for them. And you already see the results of the failure to self-regulate: the tech industry could have already saved itself a lot of work by avoiding laws like GDPR and CCPA in the first place.
I suspect you didn’t use it for long enough for it to develop a good profile of your tastes. I’ve been using it for 5 years and the recommendations are my favourite feature, and on the whole very impressive.

I’d consider myself into quite underground music (electronic/techno, nothing mainstream or commercial at all, I’d wager even most people who consider themselves into electronic music wouldn’t have heard of a lot of the artists I listen to) and it usually gets it pretty right, sometimes amazingly so.

I’ve been introduced to some of my favourite music by Spotify, and the interface makes exploring related artists etc. really easy. Ideally I’d like better cataloguing (e.g. tagging) and metadata (e.g. more emphasis on labels) but I know I’m a niche user and I can work around these limitations.

My tips if you try it again would be:

- if it recommends something you don’t like, press thumbs down (if available) and skip - they use skipping as a signal you don’t like something

- build up a collection of music you do like, using the save button and/or playlists

- check out the feature which plays related music after you’ve finished listening to a track or album - this often finds the most interesting music for me

- check out the “related songs” area under any playlists you’ve created. If you have focussed playlists (e.g. I have ones for different subgenres), this can help you discover some great stuff.

I’d actually say the stuff Spotify plays after an album/song is the best part of their recommendations for me. The daily mixes it generates aren’t bad. Release Radar and Discover Weekly can be a bit hit or miss, sometimes for example it will recommend overly commercial stuff for my tastes, but it’s always worth scanning through (and I do thumbs down the really off recommendations).

It’s not perfect of course, for example sometimes I find it gets “stuck” in a small subset of artists after a while, but combined with other sources and some input to guide, Spotify is the best service I’ve found for discovering music, and is way above for example YouTube suggestions

This gives snother example where the old-generation Lego Technics bricks shine. Besides their circular holes at the side, these still connect at their top and their bottom side with regular Lego studs.

I wish these bricks have a comeback. Why did Lego go this way? I assume it was too complicated to use for some as it allows for a two dimensional connection. Although on the other hand, this actually increases creativity in my opinion, because you could do more with a small assortment of pieces. However, this of course hinders sales of new sets, which might be a reason why Lego had a crisis around y2k.
This entire premise, that people are usually more or less equally capable at a given task, doesn’t correspond to my experience at all, across several industries.

It seems ideological, or philosophical or based on limited industries.

It can also be dehumanizing to imply people can’t get any result from trying hard, or that everyone has equal abilities.

I’m just not exactly sure why you are saying this, what it is based on, and what the goal is here.

Is this supposed to be a joke? How could you make an article about a 5% increase in 2020 when Germany has had the largest drop in emissions since a decade in 2019? It managed a 6.5% drop in total emissions even though the only thing that dropped were the CO2 emissions in the electricity sector. Just think about it. A rising population (influx of refugees), increased emissions in transport, industry, agriculture and somehow they almost managed a 7% drop while simultaneously increasing emissions by 5% in the electricity sector? No, the reality is that emissions dropped massively thanks to the introduction of renewables. Not as fast as many Germans want but it did happen.

That article is just pure bullshit that isn't backed by any numbers. If they had picked 2015-2018 then maybe it would make sense but 2019? That's either pure incompetence or there is an agenda behind the article.
