If that was your point, it was very poorly made, since you appeared to be claiming that archival-quality document storage required much more than hashing papers.

Archival-quality document storage requires two things: 1, hashing papers; 2, guaranteeing that the preimages of those hashes (ie the papers) remain available despite accidental and deliberate forces toward their destruction.

Non-archival-quality document storage already requires thing 2, we just want to add more nines of reliablity to those guarantees, which is a fundamentally technical endeavor that the likes of Springer/Elsevier don't particularly help with.

Which was during the coronavirus lockdown and associated unemployment and economic upheaval.

In addition to Omni group seemed to be on something of a downturn (personally I recently gave up on Omnigraffle because 1) I was tired of the upgrade pricing and 2) simultaneous cross-platform multiuser editing is currently more important to me than a rich feature set and beautiful UI.)

These are the things that gave me (a solo developer) a huge speed boost:

- Use React with NextJS. Stopping messing with state and routing issues.

- Use GraphQL instead of REST. Stop spending so much time writing well-structured API endpoints.

- Purchase TailwindUI [0]. Stop pretending to be a UI designer and start implementing features.

- Put everything in containers and host on Render [1] or Heroku. Stop spending time managing infra before you've found product-market fit.

Remove everything that stands between you and solving a business problem. Everything else is completely irrelevant. Do whatever you can to get to market.

It makes more business sense to pay $50/mo for Heroku and Auth0 than spending a month building infra and authentication, which you'll probably get wrong anyway.

If I were to do this all over again, I'd probably go with PHP+Symfony/Laravel or Ruby on Rails. Something hyper-practical. I thought I'd never say this, but it's true. Development is fast. Recruiting is cheap. There are builtin patterns so it's easy to get help online.

That being said, I do love React.

Don't live in a disconnected dream state. This is not a normal work environment nor is it going to become one anytime soon. FB took credit for Obama's election and were given credit for Trumps. It's a political organ now. Like Fox News or CNN. Too many people within FB are acting as if they work at Walmart or something. Strap in or get out cause the stakes are as high as can be and the political drama is going to escalate.
Or a competitor comes along and figures, let's eliminate this competitor and merge their operation with ours, instead of it ending up in a bankruptcy auction and who knows who will win.

I'll pay the bondholders 45 cents on the dollar TODAY and each equity holder $1/share to get their vote. As with any private sale, this all avoids the bureaucracy of a protracted bankruptcy (where accountants and lawyers get rich off what would get paid to the creditors).

Likely? No. Possible? Very.

That's certainly not the case. The electoral college was designed such that each state's legislature chooses how to attribute their electoral college votes. Many states in the first few presidential elections just had their state legislatures assign the votes.

But still, I find it difficult to believe that the people who designed the electoral college would think it's okay that we held a national election, we got to see who wins the popular vote, and we still choose a different person for President.
> "Users holding" is a pointless metric.

This is a stock which had far fewer than 5000 holders a few months ago, and now has 170,000 holders in Robinhood.

> How many are holding $10 as a joke?

Fewer than 165,000 people. While I'm up for allowing a certain level of stupid waste their own money... the number of buyers is beginning to make me worried.

You know that any stock that goes up and down by 500%ish in a few days is going to attract the attention of "dumb money". We all know where this is going.

Yeah, dumb money will do what dumb money does. A fool and their money are soon separated, etc. etc. The morality question we have to pose to ourselves however, is how "stupid" is "too stupid". Surely you draw a line somewhere?

GUI apps centered around hybrid cloud/shell use cases. I would like to be able to make GUI widgets to do things in a ssh session on my server. I’m not sure how important it would be to run on the device; it could be a webapp I run on the server itself to trigger scripts. It’s a UI/UX that centers around touchscreen input, is reconfigurable, and can perform arbitrary commands or events server-side, which I find lacking. Anyone know of tools that scratch this itch?

Galactic Pot Healer. It's fantastic. Odd and certainly not a masterpiece, but still some of Dick's best writing. It's one of his instances of mythology creation; it's closer to a fantasy than sci-fi.

Apparently it was one of Dick's least favourite novels. As I recall, he wrote the book in just one week while under the influence of amphetamines, and later had no recollection of having written it, and he more or less disowned it.
One is not forced to spend his life working as an ISP tech. I attended a community college for a few years where most people were learning new skills precisely because they didn't like the job or often the industry in which they worked. If ISP tech work was horrible and everyone left, employers would be forced to make it less horrible.
No. I do the same. When enough of us will do then they'll listen, but by then will be too late. Until then this crap will continue.
There's no difference between these newly issued shares and "old shares."
> However, it's still not mob rule, by the virtue of the fact that mob rule is necessarily non-legal, while the electoral college is the essence of "legal".

Okay. I'm not attached to the particular semantics of "mob rule," but if you define it deliberately such that it doesn't apply in this scenario, then of course it doesn't apply. I just meant, very simply, that it's rule by someone other than who the people expressed their desire to be ruled by.

No, only the current President received less of the popular vote. The government is more than just the President. Congressbeings are elected via direct election in their districts.

Why not use KDE? Kubuntu is an "apt install kubuntu-desktop" away. (Double check that.)
The difference here, which I think is a major one, is that the examples you've listed disregard the wellbeing of humans who are alive. Benjamin Franklin may have disrespected the remains of humans (or maybe he didn't, there's no conclusive evidence here on the dying wishes of those folks in his backyard), but those remains are objects and not humans.

Not like this they don’t. Traditionally they hit you pocket upfront then left you alone. Maybe it’s a minority that still want this, I definitely do.
Americans should listen to the generals.
As I understand it, many of the founding fathers explicitly feared that general populace would vote poorly and wanted people who were educated and had access to sufficient information to make a decision to do so on their behalf.
Bullying for a good cause is still bullying.

I do not understand the obsession with keto/low carb diets. There are no long term studies showing the touted magical benefits. Even Gary Taubes, author who amassed wealth bashing carbs and touting keto diet, funded studies that he thought would confirm what he was saying, but then results came in slight favor of high carb diets against low carb high fat diets in terms of losing weight.

Yes, processed sugar is crap, but whole food carbs are not. People who eat mostly whole food plant based diets, in long term studies live the longest and are healthier. And why do people accept processed carbs to be bad but skip the same logic for oils (yeah, squeezed oil is processed food and also pretty much empty calories).

I experimented with a lot of things during my life, one of which was keto diet. I tried it several times for months, but always abandoned it for several reasons. Firstly, I feel like I loose 20+ IQ points on it, I can not think clearly, have brain fog, and after strenuous exercise, I start to forget things. And no, it was not a transitional period, it was the same after 1+ months and I tested ketosis with urine sticks. And it is understandable because brain is the largest consummator of glucose. Second, you do not have the same amount of energy, especially for burst activity. Third, you stink more, my sweat stink more, and breath also (which is kind of normal for keto). And lastly, it is harder to maintain which is not a problem for me if I found it to be beneficial, but it could be problem for many. And one more thing, each time I tried keto, I got sick during the period. It could be coincidence, but probably not.

Now I eat plant based whole food diet. And from all the things I have tried, it thicks all the good boxes. Eating plenty of very tasty foods, never hungry, never have sweets cravings, tons of energy (my libido went through the roof too), extremely easy to loose excess fat (while feeling good during the process), very good workouts and recovery and steady mental energy throughout the day, stool is regular and good, sleep better (and need less of it) and am much happier (yeah, carbs are precursor to serotonin, and fiber feed the gut microbiome which is extremely important for many things and most of serotonin is made in the gut also) etc. And tons of research which supports the benefits of it for longevity, health and sports.

Still it boggles my mind that we somehow managed to vilify foods like a sweet potato or brown rice or whichever carb containing food. I think Pollan summarised it the best : "Eat food (food=unprocessed whole food stuff). Not too much. Mostly plants." That would give 95% of benefits to most people. We get bogged down with details and minute optimisations while loosing the sight of the big picture.
His Facebook tweets, duh. Catch yourself up before commenting please, go Google it on Bing.
> I’ve literally never met one person who has enjoyed subscribing to software and losing access to it once they stop paying.

You can meet me - I much prefer subscriptions. Pay while I use it, like a service, rather than pretending to 'buy' it which was never really how it was anyway. I don't mind losing access if I'm not paying any more. If want to use it again, I'm happy to pay again.

What's the problem?
Maybe the title should be "...employee who was a jerk" [but also protested Facebook's inaction on Trump tweets]
The problem I had was “it works sometimes, and in some ways, but not other times”.

And as a developer, inconsistent behavior in any system means chaos and something I can’t depend on to get my work done.

This is not a problem exclusive to Linux on the Pi. While much less of an issue, I have had strange driver problems when I tried working from both Ubuntu and Fedora on my Dell XPS 13.

On the Mac, or on Windows on the PC, at least the random weird behaviors (like random crash if I open this, change that, open this, and then use two different audio interfaces) are consistent, so I can usually adapt my workflow to avoid them.

There's an interesting article on Paw Patrol by Walt D[1]. It's a bit extreme at points (calling Paw Patrol "everything Trump’s Republican Party is pushing on the United States") but it does get the point across, that there are many problematic components of Paw Patrol's formula that may not be the best things to show children. Paw Patrol is an Internet "meme" among Leftists, actually - ACAB including Paw Patrol made the rounds a while ago. Paw Patrol without Chase would not be Paw Patrol and I think removing the main character abruptly would be, frankly, a stupid decision. Canceling the show as they did Cops would be wiser. Paw Patrol is a remnant of the Obama years, where the President ordered more than 500 drone strikes[2] that ended up killing a lot of civilians too. It's best that we leave the show in the past and let future historians gawk at how we let our children watch stuff like this and soak up the propaganda.

> 4. Trials. Not on Wil Shipley's list, but how on earth do we not get trials? I don't want in-app purchases to "unlock" the app. I just want to try it out for a couple weeks before I buy. I have foregone many possibly great apps because I couldn't be confident they would work for me. And I've wasted money on apps that looked like they would work for me, but didn't.

I would be surprised if Apple didn't have in place a policy similar to the Google Play store (and others, like Steam), where you have a limited amount of time (a couple of hours) during which time you can "return" the software and not incur the cost.
Yes, but Google is an advertising company, Apple didn’t use to be.
That's still not public shaming, is it? It's not even a private conversation about private matters.

I'm either too old or too young for that reference.
On point 4, what you want (and I, as both a user and developer) still doesn't exist. The trial functionality that Apple offers is only for auto-renewing subscriptions. (It's not particularly flexible, either.)

There are workarounds, but nothing that's really built in to the App Store as it should be.

After doing a trip in America, I interpret "eat normally" for a French as not eating in the restaurants, but the food available in the supermarket that you cook at home.
Finding vegetables, fruits is hard, if not impossible. You don't find it in every supermarket.

Eating normally, for me, is buying the vegetables, meat, etc, and cooking it myself.

Eggplant, courgette, poivron, tomatoes.

I remember finding these in USA was really hard.

And the only fruits we found was already cuts pineapply/mango/apples/etc...

WTF, Facebook is not a platform for "unlimited freedom of speech". It has very strong moderation, and if you pay an inkling of attention to conservative or LGBT groups, too much. It's because neither of these groups are considered "advertiser friendly".
>Any union that does not represent its members to the best of its ability is not a good union.

I absolutely agree, but there are unions and unions. The SDA in Australia for instance is, for some members, useless, and for other members actually harmful - but it has been effective at winning better conditions for some workers. (SDA isn't the best example because RAFFWU, which is another union founded by workers and organisers who believe that SDA has failed workers, does a better job everywhere it goes.) A good union is better than a bad union, and a bad union is often but not always better than no union.

I also agree that unionised workers need to be able to effectively organise, which might involve starting a new union. That being said, union turf wars can devastate actual efforts to better conditions because of issues that could be resolved without splitting the union. The best reason to pack up shop and set up a new union is because the union doesn't have an effective means to, or a culture of, internal democracy, which means problems with the way the union is run can't be addressed. But if a union does have this, it's better to 'work within the system.'
The performance was the biggest surprise. Outside of 4K video, the Pi 4 was within at least javelin distance (not quite spitting) for a number of benchmarks I ran.
