From the intro blurb:

>Wim Hof's teachings about breath work and the health benefits of cold plunges have attracted millions of followers who swear it has cured everything from depression to diabetes and makes them happier and stronger.

If it cured diabetes, certainly there is a way to scientifically confirm this rather than merely "swearing" it is so.

And if it did, that would be a breakthrough of unthinkable proportions.

So, can we get some evidence rather than hearsay?
Still an awful UI. Even that clock in the bottom right - what is going on with padding there? Flickering, poor layout, poor icons. It is all wrong. KDE needs to pay more attention to UI consistency and keep it more streamlined - needs polish. I’d love to use it, but the UI just feels so wrong.
For other languages, there's a pretty interesting youtube channel called ecolinguist that frequently tries to test mutual intelligibility of language pairs to various extents. It's actually quite fascinting.

The economic uncertainty is quite likely to be a motivator more than a detractor. I.e. remote teams are keen to prove they are working highly effectively in order to prevent being near the top of the list if the company is forced to down-size.
Would be? Look at the manufacturing sector in the US since outsourcing started. It's an absolute shadow of its former self in terms of people employed and salaries.
This is much simpler, they wanted more sales of accessories to show higher sales revenue. Playing up the "eco-friendly" messaging, they're able to cut costs and avoid including a charger +headphones.

The changes forces most customers to buy either a wireless airpods or a new magSafe charger. This become an easy 'attach' sale for all retailers and virtually any sales person. Customers will be told that their device does not come with a charger and the apple authorized, overpriced charger is the best option to use with their new $700-$1K+ device.

This allows Apple to show stronger revenue numbers, even if demand for the iPhone is weaker.
I'm working on this space as well. Would love to collaborate.

Sigh. Whatever it says about you that the first place you looked was soc.sexuality.general, it is even more saddening that I knew all the words which had been redacted.
I think a lot of good ideas out of cybernetics have silently been absorbed within disciplines, but culturally i think the politics and free-market disciples of the 80s onward largely killed it off in general public discourse.

If you look at the application of systems thinking and cybernetics to ecology (Donella H. Meadows; limits to growth etc), or Russ Ackoff (stakeholdership and interdisciplinary management over specialisation and monolithic business goals) I think it's clear why it died off or maybe more accurately, killed off.
Likewise, I’ve worked at companies where execs and management frequently worked from home but wouldn’t let individual contributors. It’s funny now watching it forced on them.
I can't play any CDs because I don't have a CD player at home, however, at some point many, many years ago I ripped all the CDs I had to FLAC and so I'll have access to my music collection as long as I live, no matter how technology (or the wishes of record companies) changes, and even after my death my kids should be able to freely access my collection if they would want to, just as I have listened to vinyl records that my grandparents had.

That is what a purchase means, it's supposed to be permanent, not subject to anyone's decisions on whether that music should remain available or whether it's worth to re-issue it in a new format. I would not be able to re-buy some of that music even if I wanted to (weird local bands that are not available anywhere now), but there's no reason why I should have to - digital data does not degrade, so a single copy should be sufficient forever.
> but if companies are expected to compensate for higher cost of living, shouldn't they be equally expected to take it away if a person moves to lower cost of living.

The rub is that remote employees in tech have no bargaining power. This is the main reason why companies can and will pay lower salaries.
They are irrelevant. PCI compliance protects people by prohibiting unsafe storage of sensitive information in case of a breach.

As a result, fewer companies store the data unsafely, but speaking strictly in terms of "entities that haven't been breached" then PCI compliance doesn't really matter one way or the other.
SF wasn’t fun before the Pandemic. I’ve visited friends who work in tech 3 different times the past 5 years. The city lacks culture, the food and drinking scenes suck, and the people are all the same.

FWIW I don't consider it snarky, I don't use KDE. Used TWM for a long time and lately LXDE for when I want something more desktop like. But I'm also a kind of weird case in that I want to be able to run X11 apps on my laptop, which is a win10 install, so running a local X server (VcXsrv).

I find LXDE as a DE fairly lightweight and not too troublesome. The Qt version had some issues with my older X server (Qt for some software defined radio apps that use Qt rather than Gtk or other toolkits).
I am still in the process of moving posts to the online DB.
One major downside of Touch ID that is niche but affects me personally is that if your fingerprints get damaged (e.g. by rock climbing, which I do regularly) then Touch ID will stop working for ~1 day while your fingers recover. For this reason I'm planning on getting a device with Face ID or a similar feature next time I buy a phone. The downsides of Face ID you mention are valid, though.
Does it benefit Facebook in any way to have protocol features that can’t be interface with? Why wouldn’t that result in non-consumption?

Perhaps the phenomenon of “X months free rent” is more pervasive in NYC.

E.g. https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/rental-buildin...

What little I understand is if a landlord is leveraged (?) up the wazoo, the lending bank can make the landlord pay a lump sum if the revenue projections on which the loan is made shrink, since the risk is higher. Somehow, free months don’t count against these revenue projections (assumed a one-off?), through what I imagine is the magic of contract law. The higher end, nicer real estate is probably more highly leveraged. Someone in RE can probably clarify this better.
Well, someone in the industry of making pre-fab homes (or at least calling themselves a prefab home maker, also considers Sears Homes to be prefab:

But I appreciate the distinction you are trying to make.

Sears homes did include extensive, hand-made details such as hand-made stained glass, cabinetry etc. So it may be a grey area and not perfectly match up with the vocabulary of today.
Not saying this specifically about Wim Hof, the topic at hand - but:

People are lazy. This is quite simply a truth, especially with regards to the USA.

If you're not from the USA, we have this absolutely fucking unfathomable obesity epidemic going on. It doesn't get talked about very much. 95%+ of the time, weight regulation is one of the simplest things we know of. Calories in and calories out.

Anyways, nobody really gives a fuck about that and will die on the hill of stating it's incorrect. They will then go on to buy the newest ONE PILL DOCTORS DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR FAT OVERNIGHT for $19.95(x # payments) year after year, new pill doctors don't want you to know about after new pill doctors don't want you to know about, and still be obese, wondering why they specifically can't lose weight - science must just be against them.

Ranting about US citizens obesity aside, the tl:dr - Wim Hof most definitely isn't some ridiculously revolutionary thing, but for many it's damn helpful towards their life, but it also takes time and effort to do, which many people aren't disciplined enough to stick to. Also, you have to read. Believe it or not, large amount of people don't like reading lmao.

This is what tech money does to a city. Rents go up, everybody interesting leaves for places they can afford without a ludicrous salary.

The released phones are priced between $1100 to $2000 (eqv in India). What do these really have to offer that trumps putting that money into a mutual fund if you actually are willing to spend that kind of money? I'm quite sure this price range is high even in the US?

To me (and I can afford this) it looks insane to sink that kind of money into a bloody phone.
I won't have much when it comes to binaries, I am text mostly, but in terms of text I should have things going that far back.
I haven't checked whether Roman Gilg is still working for Valve, but he ended up forking KWin into KWinFT (plus supporting libs) with a heavy Wayland focus. He got frustrated by upstream KDE not merging his extensive refactorings on a timeline that worked for to him and is now trying to out-compete the original. Roman Gilg's blog is a good read on that matter.

Both parties seem very reasonable to me. So far, the jury is still out on where things will end up - KWinFT has some good momentum and ideas, while upstream KWin with David Edmundson and other steady contributors are also continuing to fix lots of Wayland issues with every release. Either way it looks like we'll be in a good spot soon.
The real solution is to get rid of corporate intranets- put the LOB apps on the internet or better yet, host them in a cloud or use SaaS. Yes, you’ll still need a guest network/WiFi for when employees actually come to the office, and some businesses will need networks for machinery, but information workers should just use the internet. Side benefit: you don’t have to manage corporate desktops anymore.
The debunking podcast "Oh No Ross and Carey" did at least four episodes [1] on Wim Hof. I recommend them if you want a skeptical take.

That mockup still looks bad! It may be moving in the right direction, but it's not the destination we need. Spacing is inadequate in many places, such as left padding on the window title, left padding on the sidebar text (this should line up with the title text btw), the window chrome colours are too pale, the font is too small, the view change icons are confusing, what is all that empty space in the path bar?... sigh the second screenshot link is even worse.

Don't take this the wrong way, I appreciate the work the KDE team is putting into this, but the UI just make me cringe when I try to use it. I have used all versions of KDE and IMO KDE 1 and 2 had the most consistent UIs. I think you guys should really focus a release on just the UI, rework it entirely to give it a polished, unique feel that can really push the experience forward. Something more like BeOS maybe? That had a nice polished, clean UI. All this transparency/blurring by the way, is unnecessary, the next UI should not be full of it.

Also, would like to see widgets (and other bloat) removed and the bottom bar is not a nice thing to use either. Again, BeOS has a nice Deskbar that has a far nicer feel. Something along those lines would be awesome.

Just my two cents.
This is part of the reason. Another part is that typically the closer you get to the equator in the US the more conservative. It's related to the reason why beach towns typically have bad food and no real culture.
> If you sell unlimited, you're selling unlimited. It's not an antagonistic relationship. It's only antagonistic when they decide that "Unlimited" needs some asterisks behind it.

If the business sells unlimited because it does not want the general consumer to feel constricted with online storage, then it is a benefit for the general consumer. When abusers of business products test the business' abilities, they ruin the business' chance of offering a great product that the consumer can find convenience with.

All-you-can eat buffet should be treated as such. But when a bunch of big college guys decide to hang out at an all-you-can eat from 8 am to 8 pm studying and eating, it defeats the product. It defeats the offering for others. And it takes away the experience of going to a place never having to worry about ordering more food than you can eat.

This ain't about feeling sorry for the business. This is about feeling sorry for the consumer. It is one abuser that hurts consumer. And that is bad economics for all people.
This is likely correct, although I suspect that would be as a result of the aforementioned, rather than incompatible with what I suggested.
:(

> This resulted me in one case coding straight for 7 hours.

This happened to me this weekend. It's truly scary in retrospect. I got a business idea thursday, and coded nonstop until Sunday. It's a rentable AI service for dating apps. I launched it and it's super neat imo, but I lost almost 8 lbs in that time because I didn't eat, drink water, and slept only when my thoughts started to blank out.

I am now focusing on rehabilitating by eating a lot and going to the gym. I got so skinny. I wasn't on any medication either.
Yes. As someone who has to support network infrastructure and had many network issues (at all levels) bubble up to them since the start of covid/wfh - broadband networks are being stressed during work hours. You can run your own monitoring at home to validate it to differentiate between last mile vs. peering related.

The challenge is some of thr broadband networks aren't being transparent about it. They won't admit to it, etc. Luckily I've found folks in a few companies who are willing to go off the record and explain what is the state of the last mile and give dates around planned upgrades (which are impacted due to permitting delays due to city employees struggling with covid restrictions).

I highly recommend getting two ISPs at home (cable + DSL/fttx/etc.) if you can.

As for Corp networks...they should be doing more with providing their employees some tooling to indicate if the issue is their ISP or the Corp network. It's a sad state that VPN appliances cost as much as they do (surprise - you could probably build a cheaper/better one but something something no one ever got fired for buying Cisco/etc).
That's actually not a bad suggestion! I'd miss being able to snap the occasional photo, but I could always carry my old iPhone if I anticipate the need for that.
Why is NYTimes calling him an "Antifa Activist"? He allegedly killed someone - doesn't matter who.
No, and I think it's uncharitable to assume that's what the parent is suggesting.

But even if we expand the statement to "outside a major city" or even "outside a major metro area", I think a lot of places are culturally devoid suburbs (though I probably would have picked a nicer way of putting it).

I would wager that the majority of suburbs in the US don't have much variety in cuisine, and while communities will certainly have a few stand-out restaurants, there will also be a lot of mediocre fast food, fast casual, and pizza shops. I grew up in places like that, some of my family lives in places like that, and some friends who used to live in cities, but moved out for more space, also live in places like that.

Get too far outside Seattle, Portland, the SF bay area, greater LA, Chicago, Boston, NYC, DC, Austin, Dallas, Nashville, and even many smaller cities, and there really isn't much to write home about when it comes to food. And for some of those cities, "too far outside" can be as little as a half hour drive.
How strong is the magnet? I can already see a benefit. Don't put you're phone "down" to charge it, put it up on the charger pad that's mounted to the wall. Can be placed out of the way where it's not in danger of being tripped over or spilled on, and frees tabletop space.
This was something that stuck out to me like a sore thumb when I proofread the article. After all, the whole point is to highlight the various product ideation approaches, not just Paul Graham's favorite approach. But it's just that Graham is so damn quotable.

I tried it, while I won't make any claims of massively improved health, it did one very notable thing for me.

I've perviously never been able to meditate (or self-hypnotise) my brain would always conspire against me and race with millions of thoughts.

When I tried the Wim Hoff breathing methods, everything was suddenly quiet. This in turn has made a lot of other small things in my life easier.

The claims may be overblown and some of the science dubious - but being able to reclaim some additional control over my brain has, to me, been worth the "risk" of trying breathing in a funny manner once a day.

A friend of mine tried it after being curious about my experiences for months, and immediately sent me a text message saying thanks.

I think perhaps it hasn't seen mass adoption because most people face some kind of psychological barrier in trying it either from fear, or seeing it as quackery and a waste of time. Coupled with mainstream medicine being reluctant to recommend something with relatively little supporting evidence (I guess). While Wim himself has succeeded in making money from it, it is also something that is difficult to patent and sell - unlike a pill (no big-phrama conspiracies here - just money is always a motivator)
I'm not surprised.

1. It's a pretty common misconception that StitchFix is subscription only. A lot of their business is ad hoc just pay for a "fix".

2. Also, as far as I understand it, they are just as much a tech company as they are a retailer, if not more.

3. I know someone who works their, and from what they tell me StitchFix seems to really have their act together and just be well run in general.
that's riskier
No it doesn't. It can't replace allocators in DLLS (e.g. it's possible, but the jemalloc implementation was not able to do, unlike say mimalloc, though special precaution had to be taken during linking with mimalloc).
It's not about capitalism.

If you oppose the international community and their leaders, they will oppose you in different ways.

They will sanction, boycott, sabotage, denounce, impoverish and indebt your country... and if none of that works they will invade you. That's the way it has always been.

I wholeheartedly agree. If Mozilla was in a very secure, successful position it's initiatives would be fine. But when it is struggling financially, and to capture browser share, I would much rather see those resources go back into browser development. But what do I know, I'm just one of the 4% that still uses Firefox.
wow that's a really interesting and seemingly insightful perspective and now i view the ADHD label as an insult.
Totally agree. The new emphasis on monthly payments Is also notable. It’s like they want people to view monthly phone payments like Americans view monthly car payments and buy a phone beyond their needs.

It was tens of thousands of years ago when drawings were made on cave walls.

Did you know that

"After examining dozens of Ice Age cave sites across Europe, paleoarchaeologist Genevieve von Petzinger discovered our ancestors repeatedly used 32 signs." [1]

"That fits well with the discovery of a 70,000-year-old block of ochre etched with cross-hatching in Blombos cave in South Africa. And when von Petzinger looked through archaeology papers for mentions or illustrations of symbols in cave art outside Europe, she found that many of her 32 signs were used around the world (see “Consistent doodles”). There is even tantalising evidence that an earlier human, Homo erectus, deliberately etched a zigzag on a shell on Java some 500,000 years ago. “The ability of humans to produce a system of signs is clearly not something that starts 40,000 years ago. This capacity goes back at least 100,000 years,” says Francesco d’Errico from the University of Bordeaux, France." [2]

so put the unused projects/domains/whatever into a central trust. If you don't 'do' something with it in the 30 days it becomes 'available' to anyone else in the pool.
But you can watch many movies for free on your cable or whatever Netflix you are already paying for.

So is this specific movie "$30" more valuable than any free alternative? Or is it the "newness" you are paying for? Have you7 watched all other movies worth watching already?

I would guess that people are (or were) paying extra to go to a theater because of the spectacular large screen and the experience in general. One feature of going to a theater is that you have to watch the movie in one sitting and there are no ad-breaks. That can add to the totality of the experience. And it's fun to get out of your house and to do that you need a reason .
Sure, but you don't get the variety. If you move out to rural France but are used to rotating among eating Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Thai, etc. throughout the month, you might be disappointed with the lack of choices.
Some people are simply so rich that spending $1-2k is nothing for them. Others are looking to show-off.
