Check Brave's forums and search for "block ads". A lot of Brave's users seem unreasonably focussed on blocking all ads, doesn't matter if it has third party tracking, first party tracking or no tracking at all.

That's my point. Expecting these users to pay a fee is a pipe dream. It's their sport to get everything they can for free. They have no empathy for content creators.
Excellent article and excellent comment as well! It's hard to find some people to talk about this subject. Thanks!
I'm using 2 Anki decks to learn Japanese: one was something named "COREplus" with keys in kana and the answers showing kanji and definition of the word. I figured it would be useful to pick out words from their pronounciation alone, despite the amount of homophones. The second deck I generated myself [1], it includes kanji and words containing kanji, and also statistics on how often each pronounciation of kanji is encountered. Finishing this deck allows you to read quite a lot of things (although it doesn't cover words containing non-Joyo kanji).

Now when I wanted to take an JLPT exam, I realized that my listening skills are awful, and my grammar skills aren't very good either. I started watching grammar lessons on Youtube in Japanese, as well as random videos in Japanese (mostly about trains/traveling). In the end I just barely passed listening (JLPT N2) but my grammar skills were really good.

I realized only a while ago how very powerful Django is - when I was choosing technology for a new client's project.

Just for context - over the last 13 years, I developed professionally in PHP, Java, Scala and Python, together with some code in Go and Rust. I can patch C and C++ code. By saying professionally, I mean being paid to do it as a main job.

The integrated nature of Django (ORM, admin, migrations) is a killer, but very rare to see. Spring + Hibernate doesn't come even close. Play framework seems to go in this direction but misses a lot of stuff. Maybe it's matched in modern PHP or in Microsoft land but I don't have much experience there. You can collect all the components and tie them together, but you're focusing on assembling the tooling when you could be focusing on the real problem. Being able to develop alone or in a very small team means real agility and low overhead. The time to start matters very much.

I know Django has its own pain points (for me, it's mostly performance). Each part of the stack has a better alternative as a standalone library. But I'm willing to sacrifice using the top tools in favor of using the top stack. Most of the web apps have a core product that's unique, but otherwise they all need to deal with database, authentication, authorization, CRUD admin interface etc.
I had the version published by Raymond Kurzweil as a secreen saver for Windows 98. It could generate painting of people in different poses and also plants. It didn't create everything we see in Harold's own gallery.

The prosecuter's attempts to characterize a Federal Supermax prison as a humane experience are frustrating. They notably use solitary confinement very liberally. Solitary confinement for extended periods very clearly is torture, with severe, negative psychological effects

The Wikipedia excerpt on ADX Florence:

"As of September 2020, there are 356 prisoners. They are confined 23 hours per day in single cells with facilities made of poured concrete to deter self-harm, and 24-hour supervision, carried out intensively with high staff-inmate ratios. Phones are generally banned, and only limited broadcast entertainment is permitted. After three years in maximum confinement, some prisoners may be transferred to a less restrictive prison."

Cows do not eat 100% packaged food if they eat any at all. In fact, 80% of what cows eat cannot be eaten by humans.[1] If you could add seaweed to drastically reduce emissions not would be a win for everyone.

> They learned that most cow diets contain the following:

Grass: More than 50 percent of cow feed is actually grass (farmers call it hay and silage). While people often think dairy cows are fed a high-grain diet, in reality they eat the leaves and stems from corn, wheat and oats far more often than they are eating grain, like corn kernels.

Grain: Dairy cows do eat some grain, which usually makes up less than one-quarter of their diet. Some has been grown specifically for cows, and other types have been recycled after food or beverage production -- like barley that has been used first to brew beer.

The rest of a cow’s diet includes ingredients like almond hulls, canola meal (the leftovers from producing canola oil), citrus pulp (the leftovers from making orange juice and other beverages) and more. Here’s the cool thing: These products, which were once thrown away, are actually good for cows. Cows can “unlock” the energy and nutrients in these products that would otherwise go to waste.

I don't doubt conservatives feel like liberals believe in nothing but power, and I'm sure the left has a few marks against it on that count. But I'd appreciate a few examples of them behaving in such a manner as knowingly lying about how deadly a disease is and then having large crowded in door events shortly afterwards[0]. It's easy to manufacture a narative that has the left drinking the blood of babies, but how much support is there for some large scale malicious thing?

PR is different from what the employees see from within.

Moreover, Google supported its "responsible" positions by carbon-neutral engagement, retracting from Chinese market, stopping mining email data, and more. I don't really understand why you would describe this as PR, if so then every decision is PR, and in this case "good PR" would amount to "good decisions" and I'm fine with that but not with the pejorative stench of the word PR (and because for most people it does not mean "decision").
That's bull. People bought the iPhone in spite of 'it has no physical keyboard', 'it has no copy paste', 'there's no place to put a stylus', et cetera. If people don't understand the product, you need to sell it in a way that they do understand. That's why marketing is still an expertise and not a side gig in most successful companies.

Poe’s law means I don’t know if I’m engaging in good or bad faith here but...

Your suggestion sounds like letting the ”crowd” decide; basically voting on the truth democratically. Religion is (kind of) an implementation, where people can “vote” for the denomination whose truth they prefer. They vote with their feet or with their guns, depending on surrounding historical context.

Letting the “market” decide would probably require some additional mechanisms, like financial reinforcement. Advertising is (kind of) an implementation: the more money you spend, the stronger your signal will be. Alas, it’s an incomplete implementation and pernicious ground truth often has an undue influence.

> Does anyone else have difficulty understanding why anyone would pay this much for a car?

Not really. I mean I've never spent that much on a car and I'm not sure I ever will, but I did spent $5000 on a computer one time. That's an order of magnitude more than most people pay for computers, and while nice, it sure isn't 10x better than a $500 computer would have been. But I spent the $5k, because a) I had the money and b) I really really realllly wanted that computer.

EDIT: In case anyone is curious about the $5000 computer, it was this one back in 1999, and no, it was absolutely not worth it in the end: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/specs/powerb...
No because there’s no desire to build or maintain a relationship with the person. You just emotionally reduce them an NPC and do damage control until they are gone. Pretty much how social media works.
People will disagree about the definition of equality.

Good advice is to spend a reasonable amount of time on defining precisely what is meant by equality. You will likely find you are arguing past each other because your life experience has given you a different definition than someone else.

This is more true over internet communication, because most human-human communication is non-verbal, and text compresses this communication to oblivion.

Without out of order processing of migrations I would not want to use it. When you work on several branches you will at some point need out of order processing of migrations.

You are right of course. They aren't literally saying that. However the United States has at will employment, which can reasonably be interpreted as that everything you do and they know about is with implicit permission from them. They also say in the statement they will be assigned different work. Which is commendable. I'm not sure whether that will be possible in all cases though.

Are those all things you've actually done? Or are you making a list of "potential database migration scenarios" like I described above?

As a datapoint, I've been a backend guy for coming up on 25 years now, and not only have I never needed to roll back a database migration, I'm not aware of that ever having needed to be done anywhere, even anecdotally. It just never happens in the reality we live in.

Yet all migration tools support it, require reverse migration scripts, etc. And you listed it in your "must have" list.

I think it really matters. A lot of people are being misled in a much more subtitle way, and aren't full blown conspiracy theorists. I think it would make people more careful, if they where told that what they have read in the past have been proven false. I think there are more people like me, who thinks we have reasonably good idea of what to trust, but probably have read some fake news we haven't picked up on, and would like to know what was fake to help us avoid it in the future.
Oh yeah, because trans people are living saints and can never ever be murderers.
A lot of kids have grown up with "disagreement". The leading edge of this is trans people; if you're trans you'll find that basically everyone "disagrees" with that, sometimes to the point of violence. I think people are very used to dealing with that kind of "disagreement". What they would like is for it not to be based on prejudice, wrong assumptions, and cruelty, and to be able to get on with their lives without having to run into "disagreement" at every turn.

No wonder they're having issues convincing new customers. They think they're selling a space ship when really they only need to improve their website copy.

Corporate bonds. Look at $BND, for example. It crashed 8.5% March 9-12. The flattening and then quick rebound are generally credited to the rumors and then announcement of the Fed's bond buying program.

The health of the _broad economy_ isn't what's relevant to this, though, only the bond and stock markets (or whatever else you're invested in, but mainly it's those two). The Fed has the ability, and apparently the willingness, to prop those up in times of stress.
