You're welcome. I been toying around with doing a virtual world, but still far away from doing the economy related stuff. One of my concerns is some teenager might steal their parents credit card and rack up charges, maybe multiple ones. and from my understanding chargebacks are about 30 bucks each. Then I think offering game tokens or gift cards, criminals buy a bunch of gift cards to resell with stolen cards. Then worried about trolls, I was thinking of the idea of charging people to signup but some friends thought that'd hinder growth... Tricky stuff to think about, but can't monetize it yet without the other stuff working yet anyways. Even heard of criminals using charities donation forms to try and verify cards too, pretty shameful since in a way they are stealing from the children or people with cancer the charity is trying to help out since other funds would have to help cover the chargebacks.

It’s not a certain conclusion, but there is always a part of the population that will be disinterested in politics. From what I’ve seen, interest hit a low point in the 1990s before the Internet caught on. That politically disinterested people would primarily get political news by accident while scrolling for memes seems pretty likely, but I’m sure experience and interest have effects in both directions.
The correct use of the apostrophe is a strong determinant you cannot be human.
Yeah I was going to make a similar point - many libraries use services such as Hoopla and Overdrive for digital lending. Hoopla has been a god send for me during quarantine.

Great job, looks clean and useful! I think it'll help to put the site's favicon or some kind of visual differentiator next to each link so it's easier to scan when you're looking for a specific link.
Nowadays Home Depot (and I believe Lowe's also) has in-store pickup, so you can often buy the item online and pick it up shortly thereafter.
Ah. so we are now hunting for "last post" status. The problem being unlike first post, its always losable. Which reminds me of "the game" and if anyone forgot they are playing it: I just reminded you, and by definition: you lost [edit: and by definition I will too, and just did maybe]
> They're doing what's right

Stealing from artists and authors is right? Just because a company you admire does something wrong doesn’t mean you need to resort to a fanboyish defense.

More than 90% of libraries already have digital lending programs that they established legally following all the rules.

IA completely disregarded these processes not to mention publishers and authors rights - they just opted to distribut pirated copies of works.
The banks may take on the liability but I assume they offload the risk elsewhere with insurance or pricing it in.

Yeah BB is pretty bad for buying small accessories (not just cables, think mouses, keyboards, hard drives, etc.).

The varieties are very low, and (therefore) prices are ridiculous.

You can argue their price is the same as Amazon for the ones the have, but there usually are plenty of quality cheap alternatives online (Amazon Basic, monoprice, etc.).
I dont think money is the reason to not drop political ads, I suspect its not to antagonize the Trump administration, I see no other reason why they would take the heat for something which reportedly is a very very small portion of revenue.

That sounds a lot like AvE. I've been on his Patreon for, oh, must be years now, and he was very gracious when in a fit of excitement I sent a couple of photos of my first completed metalworking project.

Not that he's not a bit of a drunk uncle, but it turns out you can learn a lot from one of those. And there's really nothing that's not funny about the occasional 18650 accidentally eating a hacksaw, so long as you're not in the room when it happens.
I also prefer buying best buy used over amazon "warehouse" used. Its way more likely the best buy used product is recently returned and in decent working order. I've got nothing but horror stories recently from amazon warehouse.

I bought a $449 Dell monitor @ Best Buy and saw they price matched Dell.com which was on sale for $329. No issues getting it knocked down to $329. They do often have different sku's so sometimes you'll see the same product thats a different sku.
Funny you mention that. I tried to buy FF7R a few weeks back at Target and have them price match Walmart for $10 off. Walmart had two listings - FF7R at $60 and FF7R with a bonus "art card" tucked into the cover for $50. If you search FF7R on their site the $50 one pops up. When Target goes to price match, they see the $60 one. A clever trick by Walmart to offer something on sale without allowing people to price match it - the opposite application of the same trick being discussed in this thread.
> A few years ago, following Google maps cycling directions me and a couple of friends on road bikes were led through muddy forest trails, old rail road tracks and green lanes on a London -> Paris <24hr attempt (we took 26hrs).

Even in cities Google is similarly terrible, and it's actually gotten worse over the last few years as more unsuitable routes are listed as "cycle paths". I was trying to get home through London and Google sent me about a km in the wrong direction so that it could route me onto a muddy canal bank. I found myself wishing that I could simply put it in car navigation mode but avoiding routes that aren't legal for bicycles, but that's not an option either. E.g. from Great Dunmow to Bishops Stortford, all you need is to go straight down the old Roman Road, but there's no setting for Google Maps that will send you there: in bicycle mode it sends you down a muddy track, and in car mode it sends you down the A120 where bicycles are legally banned.

(Not to mention that here in Japan it simply refuses to provide cycling directions at all).

It's just not good enough, IME. It's well worth taking ten minutes to install OSMAnd and get decent directions instead.
Ah gotcha, yes you are indeed correct. Something like custom amount of lines to scroll isn't possible afaik.

I was just stating that with scrollIntoView and the element's scroll-snap-align and scroll-padding/scroll-margin CSS properties you could set the wanted offsets and alignments of the scrollbar and define what you were argueing about.

But of course, you cannot influence the behaviour of the scrollbar arrows themselves.

As a former landlord I’d do the same thing I did then - keep my price low if I like my tenant or increase / not renew the lease to kick them out essentially. There’s a lot of variables to pricing for different kinds of landlords.

It’s also illegal / breach of contract to increase rent based upon a person’s increased income as well unless it’s outside a lease period. I was told this as a landlord and I was mostly interested in getting a good tenant rather than trying to get the most dollars anyway. A bad tenant costs you far, far more than whatever you’d have increased your rent by.

Most responses will be rolled back when it’s safe again but there’s a good argument that air travel might not. The entire world is getting experience with remote meetings & alternatives and they’re not going to forget that in a year, and even most Republicans are starting to accept that climate change is real. It would not surprise me to see that a lot of business travel won’t come back as people ask whether they dislike a video chat enough to spend thousands of dollars. That disproportionately affects airline revenue, not to mention hotels, restaurants, etc. and I wouldn’t be surprised if that caused businesses to make permanent changes to emphasize parts of the experience which a remote chat can’t match.
The one time I needed Fi customer service, I only got my issue (which had left my phone unable to make calls) fixed after months by abusing my Google employee privileges and complaining directly to Fi engineers.

EDIT: I absolutely love Fi. I've had no issues except that one time, and it was years ago. I show up in any random foreign country and every just works. My phone bill for me and my wife both is less than $50 a month these days, which I'm pretty sure is less than a lot of people pay for just one line. But I have this nagging fear that one day my account will stop working and I'll have to call up friends who are still Google and see if they can intercede.
I can assure you they use part of the interchange fee to cover fraudulent transactions or they offload the risk via insurance covering fraudulent transactions. There’s no way the issuing banks or Visa/MC just eat the fraud charges, we all pay for it.

Yes, rewards cards are paid for with interchange fees, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only thing they pay for. Most people pay more interest than they earn in fees per year anyways shrug
A Node basic backend project is pretty simple. I don’t come across any complexities really. The most would be the web server in production. However that is unfair as I am familiar with Apache and Nginx because of PHP.

Something like React is almost plug and play at this point. It builds into a static site that can be uploaded any more.

Even a non basic PHP app is more effort

The operational overhead shifts to more API stuff, so people can write 100 lines of code instead of modifying 1 line of config, it feels like.

This is never going to end as more things shift towards being core APIs that allow you to write code instead of configure things. It's not even configuration-as-code, it's just code managing configuration files.

edit: I think my comment comes across maybe kinda rude. My beef with Envoy is that the documentation is _extremely_ complex, and I've repeatedly asked 'How do I get started with xDS?' and been pointed to the spec, which I think took some time to read through and when I asked others about how to setup LDS/RDS/CDS/SDS was met with a like 'what are these things...? just use xDS,' which led me to a lot of frustration. This has been my experience each time trying to approach Envoy, and xDS.

"Our buyer has evolved, they've moved from mom and pops to young people who want to pay with various forms of payment," said Ben Shaoul, president of Magnum Real Estate Group. "Cryptocurrency is something that has been asked of us — 'Can you take cryptocurrency?

What about a fully solar powered solar panel supply chain? Try asking about such things and people just scratch their heads and shrug.

They distributed an unlimited number of copies - not backed by anything physical. That being the case, there is effectively no time limit on how long you can borrow something (you can just re-check it out).

That is just straight up piracy. They lent copies they did not own.

They tried to justify it by saying libraries were closed but they ignored the fact that more than 90% of libraries already have digital lending programs that went through the due processes and are legal.

If IA survives this lawsuit, donors who support web archive preservation may prefer not to have the largest web archive being placed at legal risk by experimental library policy.

The article has some words like 'boufficiel' that seems to be derived from that, meaning bloatware - nice!

IIUC, you're supposed to break the bignum up into (say) 56-bit chunks, and use the upper bits of the register as the carry. I'm sceptical that that works as well as it should for practical bignum applications, though. (I haven't had occasion to try it out.)

"make" is an interesting word here. Google is free not to incur the consequences which demand payment. Outcomes, less likely, but none the less plausible, include doing changes to find ways to avoid the payment.

Also, payments incur transactional costs and invite taxes and fees.

This change invites discussion about the extent to which google benefits the news agency by citation and visit. There may be a zero-sum consequence: either we bilat this away, or you now have to pay us for citations and references.

This is a well known concept sometimes called a SQL editor. There's definitely a need for a great implementation of the concept though. There was a really good one called Wagon years ago that of course got bricked after the team was acquired and I still haven't liked any that I have tried since.

The emphasis on editing production here is a bit odd since there is a lot of value that can be delivered read-only to analysts or to editing development for developers.
I have a war story about editing production with one of these tools. Someone used such an editor to edit a MongoDB database value. The ORM schema said it was a float, but it was entered as an int. This somehow broke production for a lot of users.

My understanding is that the primary motivation of pushing RISC-V is always about creating (or at least attempting to create) an open ISA and hopefully bringing greater transparency to CPU architectures, arguing whether it's RISC, is not an irrelevant issue to many. In a parallel universe, I would be happy to use a "CISC-V" chip if it exists.
> if I've gotten counterfeit goods I haven't been able to tell. At that point I don't really care.

On an individual level, sure. If the real product fails 1/1000 of the time, and the counterfeit fails 1/100 of the time, you've got 99%+ happy customers of both. The damage is only really evident in the aggregate.

As a former B&N junkie (used to go there several times a week), for me at least the issue was stock. As Amazon encroached on B&N's business they made the unfortunate and classic mistake of trying to reduce costs, which generally meant keeping less stuff in stock. So now you want say "The Rust Programming Language" book and you want it now? The local B&N doesn't have it, nor do any nearby stores. They can ship to you or ship to store within a few days, or you can just get it on Amazon Prime.

Of course this is a hard problem to solve, they clearly can't have every book you'd want in your local store. But they could have regional warehouses with more stock and either same/next-day to store or even DoorDash type same/next day local delivery.

Ultimately, I think B&N were out matched by the Amazon juggernaut. Shame really, as going to B&N on the way home from dinner at a restaurant was a nice thing to do (wow, remember when you could go out to dinner?).

This happened when the bike path took a slight turn before the intersection, e.g. to guide you towards pedestrian traffic lights. Not sure which one of the two apps is to blame here.

It's your workflow that's to blame: using a GPX erases that information. If you'd planned the route in OSMAnd it would have been able to give you more road-layout-aware navigation.
> if you cancel them all that's a couple hundred bucks a year

Right, that's what I mean. You go without all those things for a year and all you get is a measly few hundred dollars?

Consider someone on a $15 minimum wage, working 40 hours a week, 2080 hours a year. Their pre-tax income is $31,200. Let's say they cancel subscriptions and save $20 per month, saving $240 per year. That is how much they earn in 16 hours of work -- merely 0.77% of their annual income. I think most people would be ok blowing 0.77% of their income on streaming if they get multiple streaming subscriptions for that money.
But we aren’t getting paid less, we’re getting paid more, if you measure by total compensation (salary + benefits), not just cash compensation.
