I don't really participate in it, but Reddit's the only place I can easily find opinions about products that're maybe not paid shilling, now that smaller sites and forums are practically un-Googleable unless you already know their names—i.e. they won't come up for a search for anything general that they write about or discuss, unless you include their name, and even then it's iffy. Actually that's also true for a lot of things that aren't exactly products. If I want to know about a vacation spot but I don't want blogspam shill bullshit then I'll probably head to Reddit.

I do a lot of "reddit [thing I want to know about]" in DDG, just to kick the Reddit results to the top over all the webspam. Not "!reddit [thing I want to know about]" because Reddit's internal site search is, like most, worse than DDG or Google.
Probably very country dependent!
I've only had that sort of deal for the last 5ish years.
Thanks for the link. As I suspected, I can only get FTTC (80/20). FTTPoD is available but ... as you mentioned it's not exactly the best option.

Going by https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband - I see "Good news – we'll be upgrading your area to Full Fibre (Fibre to the Premises - FTTP) soon."

Anyone know how soon "soon" is?
This is one of the reasons I hate acronyms so much, they have a place when definitely put in context (previous conversation, or spelled out first), but if it's an article (kind of paywalled btw, but that's another thing) and not follow up on something nor quick letter to someone, as article it is designed to target broader audience who are out of context what it will be about (especially with that clickbaiting title) it has no place for acronyms right from the start and so ambiguous ones.

The whole thing looks like a rushed rant written to get some views on Medium and not to share "favorite story".
I wonder if a self sustaining solar plant can be set up in a desert with a factory powered by solar energy manufacturing solar panels with the sand and then being installed piece by piece. The stuff that will be needed to be brought from outside will be water (if a lot is needed), aluminum and concrete for the support structure and other metals in the solar panel. Surely a crazy project converting the hypothetical 100 miles x 100 miles square in Nevada or some other desert might be more feasible. It is okay even if this takes 10 years as long as the process is made sustainable to the extent possible.
Gates never once said he is against the concept of the government handling of COVID19. He criticized the actual implementation of COVID19 strategy. Totally different thing.
A good question. I think I consider “prepare time” not “compile time”, but “run time”, because it happens not at my will on my dev machine, but on demand on client’s machine or production server, and all the types will be inferred only when the program is run.
Unfortunately car culture is making a comeback now because nobody wants to use public transport during the pandemic.
All those are good examples of yaml complexity but none of that is anywhere near what even a simple programming language can unleash (variables, loops, functions, recursion etc)
It's a fallacy to jump from saying 'obese politicians are corrupt' and then saying 'all obese people are corrupt'. Might as well say 'all obese people are corrupt politicans'.
Okay thanks for the tip!
Actually, Google eventually wants users to find everything with predictive AI giving it to them before they search. That's not really a secret, they've announced more than once in the past that that is what they are increasingly working toward.

Green March was a strategic mass demonstration in November 1975
The point was she said “I’m going to focus on the importance of issue X, bough TBF there are other legitimate factors pushing the other way such as Y and Z. But they aren’t he topic of this essay.”

I was responding to a complaint that these other positions weren’t discussed with the concomitant implication that the author was lazy and/or biased.

To put it another way: I could write an essay on progress in cleaner burning car engines; if I did I know I would say something like, “of course the real fix is electric, hydrogen perhaps, or some other less-polluting source, but for now this is the important problem at hand”. I’d be annoyed if someone then complained, “but we shouldn’t have emissions at all”
Neither I nor he live in the US, alas.
My spend is probably:

#1: Specialty clothing for outdoor activities, etc.

#2: Stuff for day-to-day travel and (when I used to regularly go into an office--which hasn't been for years) day-to-day office. This clothing isn't particularly expensive but gets stained/worn over time.

I have dress clothing but I wear it so seldom that I'm pretty sure I'll never buy another tie or likely another suit.

I really do understand what you're saying but I really don't know how else to acquire users, I've tried writing a blog about it and that helped but like what's the proper user acquisition strategy, I'm really anti-advertising and I don't wanna spend a lot of money on advertising instead of making the product better.
As for the reason why you can't register with mail, it's because I intentionally removed it in favor of OAuth which is way more secure than the standard way of authentication through email. When you authenticate through email, the password validation, any manipulation of authentication, the website protection from spammers, it all degrades but when you use OAuth, you're relying on the larger companies with much better security for all this stuff including less spam accounts so I decided it was the way to go.
I'll remove that small dash between the user and the points.

Also weird for me to see the name here (I’m in the next village over), not one you see popping up often. I occasionally wonder how many other HNers there are scattered about in my local area (I suspect not many).
I don't see how you can rely on the past to predict massive historic trend shifts in the workplace. Previously offshoring created an in-group and an out-group with shitty communication between them. Post-pandemic everybody is in the same virtual group with the same shitty communication tools.

Long story short, I tried to apply for apple developer account for the past 3 months with 30 different credit cards (from Twitter friends all over the world).

All failed.

Apple seems to have enrollment problem that affect developers outside US and EU. It's frustrating. I lost more time handling this issue, calling support, etc compared to developing the product.

As a compromise, I ended up borrowed friend's account to upload the app for the time being.

It's really a Greek vs. French difference, rather than an American vs. British one. I prefer -ize, but either spelling is acceptable to me.

Being a spelling pedant isn't a good idea, because unless you're an etymologist, you'll often get it wrong. (Sometimes mistakes even become Standard English, e.g. "ptarmigan", "sovereign", and "burgle" in UK.) Then there's the issue of Latin and Greek plurals. If you don't know those languages well enough, with a few exceptions (e.g. "crises", "phenomena") it's safer to just add -s or -es to the end of the word in English.
What Is the Correct Answer?
I searched the Wikileaks Podesta emails and unless something was removed, I think I only found one chain where pizza was used in a very questionable manner. I’m pretty sure I did an exhaustive search as well. Everything else was just chain mails about (normal sounding) pizza parties to celebrate the campaign and such. Email list stuff. Not coded messages.

I will admit the one message is really weird, even trying to put it into some sort of legitimate context it’s hard to see how it would fit.
Wow, yup: https://github.com/securesystemslab/zippy/graphs/contributor...
any other reads like this? maybe a bigger one, like connecting a whole building or connecting to an ISP?
No doubt. Enjoying & (feeling like compared to others I was) excelling at finding information was what made me get interested in information science in the first place, but I often felt advances in ML and NLP would allow for anyone to find exactly what they wanted (which would be great) even considering the increasing amount of information to have to search through. Google’s ‘I’m going to ignore half the words in your search query’ seem to be moving away from that for whatever reason.
> Because you can actually see the opposite happening: Mainstream culture subverts tribal ornamentation by picking up the look as fashion but discarding the essence, a process also known as "cultural appropriation".

I don't think this means you can't use counterculture to deconstruct mainstream culture, but I agree that it's a barrier. However, I disagree with any implication that the purpose of ornamentation is only in/out-group identification, to the extent you're making it here, and I'll explore that further.

> As for deconstruction, I just don't see it. Well, maybe I sort of see it with the unnatural hair colors. Maybe you can explain how?

I think it's following the same basic logic the grandparent comment/originator of the thread described. It says "here is something I choose to do to myself, which I say is beautiful, in part because you say it isn't beautiful." That's a deconstructive framing and justification for the action.

But I want to back up for a second. I'm not asserting that a given person who believes in social justice causes, and chooses to dye their hair pink, necessarily chooses consciously to associate those two things. I think it's possible, but it's equally likely that the person sees their friends doing it, thinks it would look good on them (for whatever "good" means in their mind), and so does something similar.

> What "should or should not be" is of no consequence to basic primate behavior: You send an out-group signal, you get the out-group treatment - and vice versa.

The predominant implication here, to me, is that the basic primate behavior as you understand it is the driving influence. And that could be, in the same sense that our basic desire to eat leads us to order takeout instead of going hungry. My concern is that reducing an action to the most basic impetus, discarding what "should or should not be", and discarding all the other reasons one could have for taking an action that are also factors, eliminates understanding by eliminating nuance.

If we think of someone's act of self-expression predominantly through the lens of which groups it signals what to, we're losing a lot of information; as you say:

> A Maori is going to have a face tattoo for different reasons than a rapper.

but I'm more concerned about the nuance of those reasons than identifying the primal drive. The primal stuff is easy to find; it's the layers between that and the action where we can learn more, and/or influence behavior.

You can say "I know why this person has done thing X; it's to signal to outgroup Y" - but you don't actually know that, and even if you did, I'm not sure how it's helpful without more information.
yeah i meant to convey the second one. sorry if you took it that way. i should have said our govt's handling of the virus.

Why do you need concrete? Can't you just sinter the sand grains together?
I have a Classic Site for Hashbackup.com. The pages are very basic text, with some bolding, italics, font face/size changes.

Every page in the zip backup, no matter how simple, is around 59K because of all the Javascript Google wraps around simple text. My plan is to convert everything to some flavor of Markdown, but parsing this mess is not going to be exactly easy.

I appreciate that the goal of this backup was to allow me to host it "as is" somewhere else - with no possibility to edit it, which seems rather useless.

What would be really nice is to also get a zip file with some simple Markdown pages that include user editing (font sizes, bolding, etc), without everything being wrapped in Google's Javascript.
A friend of mine was an EMT and was almost sued by a woman he resuscitated. He said almost everyone, but especially women, get cracked, bruised or outright broken ribs, because there really is no "gentle" way to jostle the heart behind a cage. If someone survives CPR, they will hurt. Period.

Anyway, it didn't make it to court because every witness of her painful healing period also remarked that she continually spoke of how lucky she was to be alive. Without CPR she wouldn't have such a story to tell.

(All comments on culture US centric) - This thinking is why the men’s section is 1/4 as large as the women’s in most stores. Culturally for men clothing is supposed to be above all practical. There are 5 genres of men’s clothes - business (pressed shirts, suits), casual, workout, skater, and comfort (hoodie).

Contrast this with the women’s section. Women have an expectation to express themselves and their personality. There are all sorts of “impractical” cuts, flairs, colors, layers to choose from. There’s a shoe for every occasion. You can get dramatically different fabrics, feels, and touches. Not even going into accessories.

There is certainly a sea change happening in fashion retail, but it’s more that like everything else it’s accelerating things that are already going on. People were trending less formal almost everywhere in the workplace, except NYC, SF and LA (or in high touch industries like real estate or law). Your H&Ms are best positioned to survive, where everyone already knows that Macy’s is on its last legs.
Extensions are just per-module importable language features.

These features have tradeoffs around usability and power, so making them importable defers that tradeoff to the end programmer, who is best positioned to make those decisions. It's kind of the opposite of the paternalistic approach the Go designers take.
> I mean, you are responsible for what your neighbor does in your name.

No, you really aren't. That idea makes absolutely no sense at all. My neighbor is responsible for his own actions, and that's it. He wasn't following orders, no one asked him to do any of that, and surely he didn't ran his plan though the homeowner's association. He decided to break the law, and that's on him, and exclusively on him.

Extrapolating anything from this is idiotic.

It’s not a legal right to endanger others so a tailgating protocol isn’t on the face bad. It’d definitely need to be carefully executed though.

Edit-I doubt anyone would be able to make a zero trust network like that incorporate control components. It’d probably be like “I’m going 100 mph with no governor active.” The receiver chooses what to do.

Sure, but “rich people's vanity may help finance the program” (and NASA will help finance the program, etc.) doesn’t anything to support “satellite internet will finance the program by itself”.
Sommeone needs to build a app which is sort of VM Player in a mobile device, where you can install the app inside and we choose the location or country where this VM can be hosted. Just so you know nobody tracks location.

Actually, I think Japan also technically taxes worldwide income of non-resident nationals. And even permanent residents, regardless of where they reside.

Moreover, some countries like Finland require you to pay taxes on worldwide income for a number of years after you're no longer a resident of the country and only then granting you tax freedom from income sourced outside of the country. And there's no amount of income you can exclude like the USA's $108k or whatever the figure is currently.
If you can find old publicity and propaganda from 4G, 3G amd even GSM deployment you will find the same tired set of new capabilities that will magically come true,

Based on Apple analytics, macOS version is significantly has less churn rate compared to iOS version.

Based on talking to user I also find that people tend to avoid using their phone while working. So the iOS version might be perfect for reviewing analytics, and one of timer (like schedule time for thinking, research, etc)

Is there a basement/crawl space? I have cut a narrow slot in the wall and then drilled down to the basement/crawl space for this.
Messy, needs plastering and repainting but avoids exposed wiring.

I have no idea what you do if there is no basement. Go behind skirting boards?
> - practicality. Jeans are good example of this. It's cheap and practical clothing that lasts a long time.

Yeah but that skinny/tight jeans trend really did made some jeans less practical.
Fast fashion, which was the dominant trend, has nothing to do with dressing up or looking one’s best.

Last week I blocked every * .google.* domain on my network except "youtube-ui.l.google.com".

Google Search:
(1) ask a natural language question (since actual search is hobbled)
(2) get unrelated garbage and ads back
(3) blame yourself for "not being technical enough" to understand why the results aren't actually garbage.

Google Search has deteriorated to the point that so far I haven't missed it at all.

A lack of space above or below and solid brick walls are going to be seriously limiting. Possibly the only upside to New Zealand’s average house quality is that there is space everywhere and most things are hollow.

UniFi makes stuff I like and this situation sounds like a great use for their ‘Flex’ switch which is managed and POE powered.
A few corrections:

The + (formerly used to force a term to be present in the result) and ~ (also find synonyms) operators have been deprecated.

Google now advises to wrap the word in quotes instead of using the +. Google will also automatically look for synonyms without the use of ~.

I have seen 'AROUND(n)' mentioned in many other places working as a proximity operator in Google, but I don't believe that is true and haven't found it to work in any logical way.

Also the use of parentheses to nest queries is not necessary in Google. It is actually required for Bing on complicated queries though.

You will sure have noticed that there are tons of free tutorials on the internet for all kinds of programming languages. If you're just curious about coding, pick one and go with it. If it doesn't suit your style of learning, pick another one.

Disk Order is/was a fast and sleek two-panel file manager for Mac. However some bugs were never fixed. Releases just stopped, and the company site later disappeared. The primary alternative, Forklift, is just too slow in the version three. Double Commander works but doesn't integrate well with native OS features. (Total Commander remains a distant ideal on non-Windows platforms. Boy do I miss its speed and comfort.)

Hyperswitch the cmd-tab enhancement is still very usable and is updated, however the updates seem to be limited to resetting the ‘beta’ time limit. Not that it needs new features, but I think it does have at least one bug. I'm also baffled by the author's release model (the time-limited but repeatedly prolonged ‘beta’) and irked that among the couple dozen apps on this topic there aren't good open-source ones without some dubious features. Since Hyperswitch is fully freeware, why not make it open-source so others could fix problems they run into?

I think there were other ones, but can't remember them right now. Basically, if an app doesn't bring in plenty of money, why not at least let people make something better of it.
