People are not going to spend the money all in the same way or on the same things. As with all social benefit programs, it's the distribution of wealth that is of primary concern and benefit. I wouldn't spend any of the money on rent, so giving me $1000 wouldn't contribute to any increase in rent.

You have to be careful not to look at a single side of the equation -- there are also savings that would happen as a result of UBI. Maybe you give someone $100 for free and it raises the price of everything by $5, but you don't have to pay $300 to replace a car window that is broken out when someone robs your car. And/or the costs of insurance/taxes goes down. Crime, poverty, poor health, etc have huge costs to everyone in the US, and you have to factor those things into the equation.
It's probably safer to shop in person from the store than to order form a delivery person / or instacart shopper who is exposed to a bunch of people.
Calling a President out on their lies seems like a satisfactory solution to me.

Unfortunately, the modern political climate is such that even that is considered censorship. We can't even dare claim that lies exist, because obviously no one person or institution can be trusted to define what is and isn't truth without an ulterior motive.

So the only politically correct solution is to assert that all politicians are equally (maximally) corrupt, all statements are equally valid, all attempts at nuance are motivated by partisan hypocrisy, and any possible solution is a slippery slope to an Orwellian dystopia, so we have no option but to simply let the fire burn.

Although I must say, it is strange how none of this seemed to be the case prior to 2016.

The first quote is clearly true.

A rogue wave is one that almost certainly resulted from a non-linear interaction of waves because its size is statistically unlikely enough under the linear wave model. So anything 2+* the background waves.

It isn't the size of the wave. It is the size relative to the sea around it.

That said, the next sentence does not make sense to me. Particularly not given that it is also estimated that ships in the North Atlantic encounter an average of one rogue wave per year. (But mostly not in sufficiently high seas to be a problem.)

For what it's worth: JetBrains has a model where they sell cheaper individual licenses that people can buy from their own money (company credit cards/expenses are not allowed), and those can be used for work. And more expensive per-seat licenses for companies/organizations. Also, that also includes a perpetual license for the version at the time of purchase (and discounts for people who upgrade). I think that is overall a fair deal, and keeps the incentives for both developers and customers as aligned as is possible under such circumstances, IMHO. Yearly licensing like this doesn't make much sense for such a product, I think.
Another solution is to allow to made a purchase days before. I can plan my cart for a week and most of items are recurrent. So they know what they need and they can fill those orders in advance.
I think we are talking about different things here. You, as an AMP engineer are talking about how Chrome implemented this [1], but I'm talking about how Chrome is not a user agent, because it demonstrably acts as Google's agent, not the user's.

The author seems not to know what a codpiece is, as if he thinks it's an unneeded extra garment men wore on top to draw attention to their genitals.

Mens' trousers in those days were two separate garments: a left leg and a right leg. It's why we still say "a pair of trousers". You needed a codpiece to cover the gap in the middle, and it would also help hold your trousers up.

Peasants didn't need to bother with all this stuff as they could not afford trousers and would just wear a dirty tunic like a sack.

Then someone invented modern trousers that are one garment and the codpiece was not needed any more.
Right, that's my point: prices don't perfectly reflect long-term value. You give an excellent example of why the currently price might not reflect long-term value, which I need to remember for next time!
In general it seems convenient to configure; but in terms of operation how does it really differ from connecting your services as clients to a VPN LAN? With WireGuard for the tunnels themselves, you can even have as many routers/"relays" as you want, with virtually no overhead.

I find that MobileMail is horribly buggy, but there are rarely any bugs in my usage path (Gmail and other Google apps, Safari, Messages, Notes, Camera and Photos, Snapchat, Apollo, GitHub, Apple Music, my bank app, and a few others). What apps do you use most and what's so buggy?
Your reply really made me think - you are absolutely correct about traffic not being the end all and be all measure of successful content. Thank you for pulling me out of the echo chamber. :)

It isn't just about guiding passive users through content, though. My comment was motivated by a little dilemma that I have been wrestling with:

I'm building a search engine and have written the first version as a React app. I've been wondering if we shouldn't switch to a more traditional web page structure.

Drew's post made me realize that I want to give my users - not passive - an application experience so it's okay to stick with the current setup.
For me, I just need to get out of the apartment every once in awhile, and grocery shopping's a reasonable excuse to do so. Plus I gotta run my car every few days to keep the battery from dying (I have a battery tender, but it'd involve either parking in a garage I'm currently using for storage or running an extension cord from said garage to wherever I ended up parking).

Competition is good, but each of the competitors are creating their own shows. This potentially requires you to buy multiple services to view all the content you want.

I would prefer the competition to not be content but on UI, speed, downtime, viewing suggestions, etc.

The best part of cable was that you could get any channel regardless of your provider. You could have Spectrum, AT&T, Direct TV or whoever and get any channel you wanted.

The problem was that you usually could not do al la carte and when you could it would not be cheap enough to justify losing all the other channels.

Imagine if you had to pay for Time Warner cable to get CNN, AT&T to get HBO, and Comcast to get NBC.
Hi there! It certainly doesn't sound normal for the app to take a few seconds to open files.

Would you join our community to give us a chance to debug the issue? https://obsidian.md/community

We're still currently in beta so we'd really appreciate all the help we can get to polish any hiccups in the app.

As for the editing experience, we're only about 3 months in so there's a lot of catching up to do, and Typora-level editing experience is something we're shooting for.
So what's the criteria for ascertaining that a company, like Twitter, has a monopoly on speech and why does that make it like a government? Unless you are claiming that the US government has a monopoly on speech - meaning that anything the US government does not want said, cannot be said in public which is certainly not true in this case since the head of the US government is threatening to shut down Twitter over something they "said".
Not entirely accurate. We know variolation will provide immunity. The main risk is to the volunteer, not to others. A vaccine might not provide immunity. That would make the patient a vector for the disease and endanger others.

> No, the moment you embedd the discoverabilty of GUI it stops being a CLI.

That statement is falsified by the advent of programmable completions. Nothing stops us from integrating context sensitive help into the shell completion mechanism. The shell could display a help text next to each item of a completion list, or you could press keyboard shortcut to get help to the command your cursor is positioned on. shellcheck could highlight a bash command while you are typing it. All that would not change the fact that a shell is a CLI.

> GUIs are a discoverability nightmare.

Badly made GUIs are. I started my career developing desktop software. Both Apple and Microsoft used to publish guides for building proper GUIs for their platforms. Our UX designers and PMs were enforcing those vigorously.

On Windows, every feature had to be represented in the menu of the main window. See, right there, by going (not even clicking on) every menu item you will learn about existence of every feature. Photoshop is still like that.

Most frequently used actions deserved two additional things: a hot key and a toolbar button. Each toolbar button had to have a tooltip. See? Right there, by going over the toolbar one could quickly learned the most important features.

Using windows, splitters, panes, tree views and tabs - there was logic behind those choices, and having standardized set of UI controls allowed users to learn software much more rapidly.

Modern web "applications" are crude by comparison. There's no standardized way to discover anything. Is it a button? Is it a dropdown? Is it just a strange background to display an error? Things auto-hide and auto-appear for no reason, you have to move mouse around (or practice every swipe variation you're familiar on mobile). Hotkeys are an afterthought, even resizing the browser or even scrolling sometimes breaks things.

I am not going to name names, but we tried to use one of web-based conferencing apps a few years ago. The UI it offered for joining a call (the URL you'd include into a meeting invite) was so bad that nearly 30% of people could not find out how to join. That's basically the only thing that page needed to provide, yet their UX people managed to obfuscate it so much that users sat waiting & thinking that something is about to happen instead of clicking the "join" button... Ughh.

There's so much demand for software right now, every industry needs more... There is severe shortage of talent for everything, from engineers to UX designers and product managers. Eventually there will be an equilibrium and we'll have professionals design and program GUIs again.

I am a CLI-first person, but there's no doubt in my mind that a well-done GUI massively flattens the learning curve for a new app.
Yeah, that makes sense. It's hard to use the instrument of judgment itself to judge itself. I'm more wondering about a healthy individual.

Trump's only motives are personal profit and keeping himself out of jail. Pompeo is Trump's whipping boy, just like everyone else in the administration. If there were any substantive disagreements between then, Pompeo would be fired, because Trump is an autocrat aspiring to dictatorship.
Spam folder is one of things that annoys me in email. It really doesn't make sense: if message is spam, then why store it at all? But legitimate messages silently going to spam folder is critical, unacceptable failure. You could regularly browse spam folder, but then.. what's the point? You would be skimming through all the junk anyway, that's defeating whole purpose of filtering.

Personally I don't have spam folder: either message is rejected immediately at SMTP time, or it goes straight to my inbox. (another thing that annoys me is greylisting, it just breaks instant messaging for no good reason)

I think the big thing to remember is that Instacart offers a no lift in model for grocery stores to compete against Amazon/Walmart without doing anything to improve aging system. These companies do not have the expertise to become full distribution centers build a website that their customers will enjoy using. They are in bed with Instacart out of fear
I love the theoretical situation that doesn't exist as a justification for not doing the right thing. This isn't a "different points of view" - this is the leader of the United States LYING on their platform, and them choosing to provide a link to FACTUAL INFORMATION. There is no "contradictory point of view" - he claimed there was massive voter fraud and there's literally 0 proof to back up his claim and mountains of evidence to counter it.
Perception is confusing
People say that RSS is dead, but actually I think it's doing pretty much the same, if not better, than before Reader shut down.
In a way, it's much more frightening to operate on the assumption that, while there are bots, it mostly is actual humans. Simply put, a lot of the actual humans are bots (in the metaphorical sense of having incredibly un-nuanced takes and reactively responding to certain heuristic phrases that "trigger" them).

I don't have any stats on what % of twitter is bots so I'm not saying that it's not overwhelmed by bots, but we should be aware that there might be an even more chilling explanation here: that it actually _is_ humans causing the toxicity

Sounds like instacart is independent from the shop it delivers from, and collects your groceries by hand. Is that correct? It sounds very inefficient to me.

In Netherland, the largest supermarket chains all deliver to your home. (Used to be to your kitchen, but Corona changed that.) We've had our groceries delivered by Albert Heijn for about a decade now, and it's generally pretty good. You pay about EUR 5-10 for delivery depending on the time of day you want it.

Two issues: when they don't have an item, you just don't get it. I'd prefer to get an alert a day in advance so I can select a replacement item, but that's apparently not an option for whatever reason. The other is of course perishables. Usually it's fine. Sometimes the bananas are a bit greener than I'd like, sometimes they're a bit yellower than my son likes (he likes them green for some reason). Sometimes the use-by date is in two days when we were planning to use it in 3 days. Never got anything moldy, though if something's moldy, broken or otherwise wrong, you get a discount on the next purchase, no questions asked.

Not having to lug groceries around is great. Sometimes we still need to go to the supermarket to get one or two items, but that's no big deal.
Considering the President surrounds himself with people who only support him, such as firing all the IG's that were investigating any Republican party members, what's to keep that from happening again in this instance?
In JavaScript where there's often a single thread running a long-lived process I think the common case is when you keep allocating stuff through event handlers and not dereferencing them. A single wasteful build-up of memory is not really what I see discussed when people are discussing memory leaks in JS. As another commenter said, the classic case being adding UI event handlers and then removing the DOM object without dereferencing the handler. Doing this over and over will eventually make the app unresponsive but not immediately.
Absolutely. I grew up in a tiny town, and loved the ability to get way out in the middle of nowhere with no humans around. And hated practically everything else about it.

Small towns make your business everyone's. There's a desperation for gossip that's just gross to me, and worse, if you don't play along, you're an outcast. Which worked fine for me, except it makes you a target for local shitheads.

I get why others might like it if they're social extroverts who fit whatever local majority-normal is, if not, a city is a far better place to live.
A society that can't agree on what a divisive society is. In all seriousness, when actors with influence on public thought are having public arguments about politics, social roles, virus response plans.

> Let's say a farmer wanted to reduce foodwaste. So they only sold perfect fruit that they knew would get bought.

Selling only perfect fruit is literally foodwaste right there. Fruits don't grow all perfect. If most of the fruit you see in store looks flawless, that literally means that most of the fruit harvested was either sold to another company or thrown away.

As far as I am aware, there is nothing in the scriptures of any major religions regarding interracial marriage (which makes sense, since the modern conception of race didn't exist thousands of years ago when most of them were written). So I'm not sure what "sincere religious belief" those people would have been using in their arguments - just being a Christian doesn't automatically make any sincere belief you hold a religious one. Many religions do have scriptural prohibitions against homosexuality, however.
