Military breaks one down and the. rebuilds the person acc to specs. Very few people have a self determined life after military service. It is sad.

Many in industry and service sector who are ‘company men’ and never quit their first job until retirement also face the same problem. Double edged sword.
The same thing happens with credit card fraud though. Insisting on small bills doesn't solve the possibility of giving away free product. Ultimately, the restaurant's incremental cost of providing $40 of fast food is pretty low. The main worry is giving out significant real cash in change.
Free exchange between 2 people that doesn’t require a 3rd party is a far greater benefit than any form of privacy attached to cash.
Neighboring Lithuania and Ukraine already eased visa regimes for Belarusians in hope to attrack highly skilled workers fleeing Lukashenka.
Water generated from obsolescence & irreparability is an “externality” for market mechanisms, and therefore needs an alternative approach to fix (Eg: government regulation, recycling taxes, etc) since prices will not reflect that naturally.
Tell that to cloudflare.

It's not like you're forced to cache things if it doesn't work for your business case.
You always need a third party though, even with cash. It's just, with cash the third party (ATM, retail service, bank, etc.) is for obtaining the cash, not for performing the transaction.
The EFF says that being underbanked is the problem for people at the heart of this matter. So why doesn't it work on making more banks and credit cards available to those people? Harder, and more root cause, than just advocating for cash to be accepted, I guess?

table.each = function(list, func)
for i,v in ipairs(list) do

If the situation is so bad that Firefox is seen as necessary to prevent the internet being dominated by Google et al, there should be regulation that prevents those companies from privatizing the standards of the web.

It honestly doesn't seem reasonable to ask people to donate to a fundamentally commercial software product for the sole purpose of fixing a broken ecosystem. It's like as if Ford was starting to write laws and regulations for road usage and we'd start donating money to Volkswagen

With rearing a child, as stupid as it may sound, trust your gut. If something feels wrong - it probably is. Other than that - don't worry: the best parent is a happy parent.

I was surprised to find out how many "child rearing" experts do not eat their own dog food or have no children altogether.
That headline is nonsense. I have unlimited attention.
I have a weird selection mechanism for purchases. It’s not my only mechanism, but it informs the decision. As much as I enjoy a well made item, what really upsets me is something that should be much better than it is. Buyer’s remorse is a huge issue for me.

So I look at the people who are panning it in their reviews. If they are coherent and reasonable, I’m going to think twice about it. If they are incoherent, shrill Karens, then everyone has those and it’s no big deal.

I do the same for development tools and libraries. It doesn’t catch everything, and I may see their point but am willing to deal with a consequence they couldn’t stomach. It does seem to help, especially with biased reporting.
I like Firefox but the forced bloatware of Pocket, and the inability to remove it turns me off of Firefox. I don't see why Pocket isn't installed as a standard extension that could be easily removed.
Apple's charts are meant to pop out, though; they serve a very different purpose than a graph in an article about energy consumption in Cambodia. It seems to me that if you're using color just for the sake of distinguishing things then you want to make them more muted, and if you are trying to draw the eye towards something, or give it personality, you go towards more vibrant hues.
Yeah, I think this is a compelling argument, but also, it's a decent argument against using Google Search itself, is it not? They can almost certainly already correlate a click on a search result on google.com with the Google Ads subrequest from the target page.

And, on the other hand, the fact that web bundles are signed and can be delivered by any origin means that a privacy-focused user agent could try to fetch the bundle indirectly via some privacy-preserving CDN - essentially DoH for web bundles. If you are about to load a site via some known web-bundle host (like https://www.google.com/amp/ probably), try sending a request to some Cloudflare Workers setup or something first.
If you have proof of ownership, Apple will unlock the devices for you.
No, this is all off the mark. Freedom of navigation cruises are not somehow asserting sovereignty.
The Germans were well aware of Russia's population at the time. In the 1930s, the Germans produced a huge amount of areal-studies scholarship with regard to the USSR (demographics, ethnography, history, linguistics, etc.). Even today scholars occasionally rely on those papers and monographs, as distasteful as a publication produced under the Nazi regime might be.

No, the Germans’ delusion was that these many tens of millions of Soviet citizens were so unhappy with the regime, that they wouldn't rush to defend it.
Language is not that much of a problem.

They all speak Russian. Lithuania has a sizable minority of Russian speakers, and has historical ties to Belarus. Latvia is predominantly Russian-speaking. Ukraine as well.

Knowing Belarusian, they can pick up Polish rather quickly.

As a last resort, Russia is still freer than Belarus politically and better off economically. Smolensk is half an hour drive from the Belarusian border.
Well you can pretty much take products made by anyone else to any town repair shop (in UK) and have it replaced for far less than £80 (~$100).

That Apple repair probably costs them a tenner, and they're presumably primarily bringing you in to market new products to you.

Apple offer battery repair as part of their anti-competitive practices - they legally hassle other companies who offer repairs, because they want to make it hard and costly to drive the idea of disposability and sell more new products.
It's not a dog whistle - it's a description of the effects of racism. Areas with homogenous populations consistently have more political support for providing social services. This is because most people have greater empathy for those that look like and act like them. There are examples of this from Japan to Finland to Utah. A significant minority population exposes the racists within a country.
The overhead of cash has always been there. It can be factored into the business model as it always has been.

All the articles I've seen about the topic talk about how to select a palette of 2-4 colors. How would one go about picking something like 8 hues, with different levels of emphasis for some of them?

I'm trying to do something akin to designing a terminal color scheme. I've seen some websites that let you put in values and see how the color scheme would look like, but I'm more interested in insight to how to make it look aesthetic. Colorblind friendliness is not a high priority.
That was true until Trump, and it's really only Trump pushing for that, and the GOP going along with it b/c Trump owns the GOP now. The US policy establishment is against it, but have to follow the President's orders.

Bigger countries still have areas of higher density of wealth. So if that's all there is to it then we should be seeing free transit in those areas.

> This cohort disproportionately includes people of color and people with lower incomes.

You know what disproportionately affects people of lower incomes? Other people imposing extra costs for doing businesses with them.

I bet that the business refusing cash know a lot of a heck more about the added expenses of dealing with cash in their own business than me.

This type of action could easily backfire making products more expensive for people who need it the most.

>If BLM wants to not be lumped in with extremists then supporters of Black Lives Matter need to vocally and unequivocally condemn extremist and their acts that do not align with a supporter’s views of the group’s objectives.

Yes but you can only direct attention at 1 thing at a time, and you have limited time. Therefore your attention is limited.
The "old analog" world has solved this problem long ago: Consumer review magazines and NGOs (e.g. "Stiftung Warentest" in Germany) that review and rank products on objectively measurable criteria, with dedicated niche magazines (especially in computing) going on deep dives for reviews.

Why can't Amazon do it like Facebook and have a set of publicly trusted reviewers organizations whose reviews are shown with a "trusted review" mark and ranked higher?

Also: why can't regulators step in and demand that:

a) Amazon does not commingle inventory from different sellers to prevent fraudulent product from entering the system and being "washed" in the process, as well as provide end-to-end (from ingestion in the warehouse to the parcel at delivery) for each and every product they ship

b) Amazon employees have to manually review changes to product descriptions, varieties etc. so that "switch-a-roo" schemes where a vendor sells, let's say, plant seeds and then shifts the product description to laptop chargers while retaining the reviews.

This is the advantage that physical retail stores have: they at least know what they are selling and that it is reasonably free from fraudulent product.

Amazon is the unregulated Wild West, and frankly this has to stop.
> From a simpletons perspective, I don't understand why we get to have a say of how a country reclaims its former territory.

The handover of Hong Kong from Britain to PRC in 1997 is based on the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984, which is being violated [1]. PRC is violating an international declaration it signed, which at least Britain has a say.

Putting aside the international nature of Hong Kong, other nations should take a part in some extreme cases, such as to push back on concentration camps and genocide, be it in Nazi Germany or modern day PRC.

[1]: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-protests-britain...

P.S. As other comments said, Hong Kong (transferred from Qing to Britain in 1841, 1860, and 1898) has never been a former territory of PRC (formed in 1949). It is also arguable if Britain should give Hong Kong to ROC instead of PRC.

Having now read the bill[1], I’m interested in the legal theory that would make it Constitutional. It’s not limited to interstate transactions (would defeat the point) or retail establishments engaged in interstate banking through their payment processors.

What authority does Congress have to regulate whether a retailer in Wisconsin has to accept cash rather than only checks from local banks?

Prepaid debit cards are straight out as they all require people to assent to a lengthy contract simply to use them, promulgated by the same companies dragging their feet on privacy preserving digital payments (20+ year old technology at this point). Until we get widespread private payments that are accessible to all without appeasing banks, preserving the basic option of cash is important.
How do you know that's a typo?

100% free transportation. Buses, highways, rails, subways. Everything free all the time.

Let the travelers decide for themselves how to spend their most precious resource: time.

Read Caro's The Power Broker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Broker

TLDR:

Post WWII, NYC's Robert Moses figured out how to exfiltrate money from the public (subways, buses, rail, autos) and leverage that cash flow to finance his major works projects, thereby funneling capital back to bankers, realtors, developers, contractors. Every other jurisdiction followed his lead. Resulting in today's terrible land use and congestion.

Sure, Moses had help. But he was the criminal mastermind. He orchestrated the wholesale theft of our time, our money, our precious open spaces, our health, our homes, our natural resources.

We have no moral obligation to keep paying for his crimes.
This is really interesting. In my opinion, Prusa is the best in class printer to purchase for a turnkey machine. If you want to scale up a printfarm. Add more Prusa's and some humans to tend them.

But there was never really a way to run the print farm lights out. As in queue up the job for 7 days. Then have humans show up at the end of the week and package ship orders.

If there was an OTS machine that could contend Prusa for production value per dollar. This looks to be it.
I'll be buying one of these when they are out.

For the patent comment, I think Stratasys has a patent on it, but one of the claims is that the machine prints with orthogonal axes. Angle the print head and now its good?

> -Short-term incentive is for Amazon to leave the reviews (higher scored products get more sales). Seems not too probable, but not sure.

Amazon has been very fraudster friendly, and without any exaggeration, anti-customer, for a long while. There's several misbehaviors that they tolerate, while at the same time, make it difficult for customers to fight (report, etc.):

- they allow flooding searches with almost-identical products (ebay doesn't)

- they allow replacing a product page with a different one (ebay doesn't)

- they hide shipping prices and actively confuse the customer (ebay doesn't)

- they don't do anything against fakes, even when there are multiple reports (ebay is not great on this, either, though)

There's no reason why Amazon should not (by their strategy, certainly not mine) take advantage of fake reviews.

MacOS generally is the best laptop OS and the worst desktop OS.

Half baked mouse support, awful windows management with incongruent fullscreen functionality, half baked multi monitor integration, terrible thermals/performance, and the removal of anti-aliased text made MacOS a generally poor desktop experience for me.

Some of these problems can be ameliorated by third party apps, but I get the impression the desktop experience (and maybe more generally MacOS) has not been a concern at Cupertino for some time.
Which makes the current infatuation with gestures even stranger. They're even less discoverable than a second mouse button.
Most likely both, since different social groups in different countries have settled on different messengers. E.g. In Europe/Israel it's Whatsapp, but in eastern Europe and ex-USSR it's Viber (for older people) and Telegram (younger people), almost nobody uses Whatsapp.

Speaking about preferences (and excluding privacy question because I have no expertise there) I would pick Telegram because while on mobile it is essentially the same as Whatsapp, desktop client for Telegram is miles better. Whatsapp client was crashing constantly and regularly, every few days. It's just junk.

My most plausible scenario for the Singularity now is someone figuring out how to augment short term memory with implants.

I think we are going to find that attention is dominated by working set memory, and people who can juggle even twice as much stuff are going to operate fundamentally differently than those who can’t afford or won’t have the surgery. And past 5x it may become difficult to even communicate, much less compete.
The article is [extremely] explicitly not discouraging distinct colours. If you think the opposite to the article is true, then I'm not sure what you're advocating, because it isn't distinct colours. The article does talk at length about how to adjust for aesthetics, but at no point does it skimp on also ensuring distinctness.
I really don't understand the appeal of this sort of machine. I have a pretty big (300x300x300mm) and very fast printer, and large prints are still annoyingly slow and expensive. I can't ever imagine FDM printing (especially with a small, filament-fed hotend) being an appropriate way to make "arbitrarily long" objects. Other people have scaled the platform I have up to 500mm and 700mm, and get great results on genuinely large objects too, not just on long things.

Furthermore, the volume production stuff is just silly. If I'm printing a bunch of small objects, I'd rather fill a build tray with them, and then swap it out every 8 hours when it's done. The belt release stuff really seems to have reliability issues. Or, just use an appropriate manufacturing technique for high volumes...

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon with bad memories of belt build surfaces from a Thing-O-Matic.
Ive always thought (noted here a bit ago) that the Internet needs a verified government ID. Each time you use it to comment on Facebook or any website you are helping verify the veracity of what your saying is true. If you don't use it then what your saying is socially/culturally in question, which I think either a minority or majority are already doing in terms believing what they read on the Internet.

Of course I dont think anyone here likes the sound of the above, which i thought of after seeing deepfakes videos (was downvoted heavily).

If downvoting love to understand the negatives of such a system?
