I hate that Linux philosophy for a daily driver. I remember being age 16, 17,18,19 23,26, and 27 and being told to figure it out. Every time I'm vastly more fluent and the community is just as unhelpful.

There's nothing intuitive about computers, a human came up with the rules. The negativity is cancerous.

I don’t know why, but I expected a much less professional site. That is a compelling site. I only figured out what it is you do when I got to the pricing, but I am not your target audience. Musicians might be able to see the value prop more quickly.

Regardless, as one who has never even had the courage to hang his own shingle, I am impressed.
Yeah, I think one of the things I do that - perhaps - many people don't, is that I email everyone who signs up. or at least I did for a long long time. Not sustainable anymore.

Now I email everyone who takes a paid plan.

But yeah to answer your questions I just email everyone like a human being. Not like some marketer gasbag. I build relationships, make sure I'm on point when someone has an issue, and then just ask them for a testimonial.

All the testimonials on there just are are legit paying customers.

For what it's worth Blue Origin's New Armstrong rocket hasn't yet been revealed (John Sheppard -> John Glenn -> Neil Armstrong) but Jeff Bezos has mentioned it. It's widely assumed to be a Saturn V class Super Heavy Lift vehicle.

Vaccine storage and preparation

The Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has the most difficult storage requirements of all the COVID-19 vaccine candidates currently undergoing trials. Currently, it needs to be stored between -80 to -60°C and has a six-month expiry. Over time and with more data being collected this may change.(4)

The vaccine needs to be thawed (for approximately three hours in the fridge or 30 minutes at room temperature) before use and may be stored undiluted at 2–8°C for five days, or for two hours at 25°C prior to use.(4) To prepare the vaccine, it should be diluted using 0.8 mL of sodium chloride 0.9% solution for injection, marked with the date and time, and can then be stored between 2 to 25°C. It must be used within six hours or the remainder discarded.(4)

To equalise the pressure in the prepared vial, 1.8 mL of air should be withdrawn using the same syringe for preparation, after which it can be mixed by gently inverting 10 times, producing an off-white solution that is ready to be administered. The vaccines are available in packs of 195. There are five 0.3 mL doses within each vial.

In comparison, the Moderna vaccine can be stored at -20°C for up to six months, 30 days at 2 to 8°C and up to 12 hours at 25°C. Each vial contains 10 doses.

The AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine is much simpler than both options, with storage allowance of 2 to 8°C for up to six months. Once open, the vials should be used within six hours stored in a fridge or 48 hours if at room temperature. They are delivered in packs of 10 vials with each vial containing eight or 10 doses of vaccine.
This article is just superb.
That sounds outrageous at first, but it makes sense if you think about it. Are there any mainstream political parties in the west that thinks food (arguably as essential as water) should be a human right (ie. the government provides it to anyone who wants it unconditionally)?
Doesn't surprise me Apple chose the laziest solution. Not like their customers care.
"Is there a venue for matching people with politically opposed views to meet, learn, share, and debate with each other in good faith?"

That used to be at places like college, parties/bars, or other casual social events (dinner, lunch, coffee with extended friends groups).

I would guess you can get some offers on here or forums/websites.

Another thing that I do, is read others comments or articles and try to find weak points in my own arguments or new data/perspectives that change my views, or at least help me understand the views of others.

> Whether or not they are a monopoly is orthogonal to the issue of integration.

So, I get you here and what you're saying. But companies at this scale argue they're "independently managed" or whatever.

With that context, for Facebook, there's really no way of saying that these 3 different brands are independent when it comes down to it.

It'd be much like Procter & Gamble saying their 100s of brands were all really different institutional entities.
Did you ever wonder why some programs work and some don't ? Luck does not have much to do with it. I have some games that were made many versions of glibc ago, and they still work. Why is that ? (that is a rhetorical question)
I understand what you're saying but it's not a thing in this case. And with my current employer I had my contract amended before I started (as a condition of joining, I recommend everyone does the same). The change implemented allows me to work on anything I want so long as it's not a competing product.
Of course ethics plays a role in business. I don't agree with the rational actor argument either. I understand the exploits and know how they're applied. The truth is that most of these organizations aren't exploiting customers. There's a voluntary exchange in good faith. You make it sound as if integrating a community with a product is unethical. It isn't.
> As these companies voluntarily embrace more censorship, they are calling into question their status as "service providers" since they are effectively operating as publishers; i.e., not protected under 230.

230 was expressly adopted to let service providers (and users!) of interactive computer services take actions that would otherwise make them publishers without the liability that goes with that, with regard to content that is created by someone else. That's it's whole purpose. Key operative text: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider” and ”No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of [...] any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected”

Yes, I've thought about this too. But almost all successful businesses eventually go under[1]. Whoever was holding the potato last gets an egg on their face. That doesn't mean that the business was a "failure" though. It succeeded wildly during its heyday, making livelihoods and sometimes fortunes for many people, employees and shareholders alike.

I'd love to read something more about this line of thinking from someone more knowledgeable in the area.

[1] I think, but maybe not! It would be interesting to trace the "capital lineage" (made-up term) of various successful businesses from the late 1800s through today, for example.
Well I guess bubbles in water have been a thing since, like, forever...

> I'd assume everyone catches covid before herd immunity becomes relevant...

That's just not how it works. As the number of immune people (whether through survival, natural immunity or vaccine) in a population increases, the chances of anybody who is contagious spreading the disease begins to decrease. Herd immunity is going to be reached before everybody catches it, no matter what.
You linked to a news story about double-voting being detected yourself. Said news story also identifies the causes behind double-voting:

1. Delays in inputting data about who had voted in real-time.

2. Poll workers overriding machines to submit ballots.

Is there any evidence that these things happened at scale during the general? I would expect that poll workers would be better-trained and that the election would be generally smoother than the primary.

In addition, that article makes no mention of nursing homes as a particular source of double votes.
Why should you care about being likeable? It’s a valid question. In reality, this isn’t just a vanity metric or something to make you feel good. Likeable people make more money, live longer, have more opportunities, and have more success in their love lives.. Everything has to do with human relationships at a certain point, so it’s really worth investing some effort in improving your likeability.

In this post, I'm sharing tips I've learned the hard way and by poring over other content around the topic. I hope it helps you!
Ezra Pound supposedly told Ford Madox Ford that he, Ford, could be placed naked in an empty room and within half an hour reduced it to complete disorder.

Less reliance on government in the public health sector has been a great strategy in the fight on COVId, hasn’t it?

Also, you say that republicans have fought to reduce reliance on government but in the last 4 years there’s been a big increase in the federal budget to spend more on military. Aren’t they doing the opposite of what you said? And how is that a free economy when tons of new tariffs have been introduced?

I feel sometimes that people don’t realize that the government has been doing the exact opposite of traditional republicans orthodoxy.
So poor and disenfranchised people want a more equal redistribution of all the economic output and the rich class prefers the status quo, you just have blown out my brain.
There seem to be fair economic arguments either way. I am undecided on Brexit either way. I haven’t researched it enough. My point is more abstract: A lot of people forget the underlying economic motives of all countries in their interactions with each other.

We are not aware that we have any problem like that.

This might explain why GigaBlast has a problem:

Because of bugs in the original Gigablast spidering code, the Findx crawler ended up on a blacklist in Project Honeypot as being “badly behaved” (fixed in our fork). That meant quite a bit of trouble for us because CDN providers, which are a very powerful hubs for internet traffic, put a lot of weight on this blacklist. Some of the most popular websites and services on the internet run through services like Cloudflare and other CDNs – so if you are in bad standing with them, suddenly a large part of the internet is not available, and we weren’t able index it.

Well we know it had some natural origin, nobody is claiming the virus is synthetic. The question is whether it was inadvertently spread to humans through the actions of scientists, rather than pure serendipity.

As may have pointed out, GDPR does not focus on cookies per se, but Amazon (previously) and Google has put tracking cookies even while declining them. The point is Google is not putting only the "I have opt out" cookie, but putting instead "I have opt out and my ID is 751DBC849846494494A894984" cookie (which is the issue at hand).

Edit: this should be opt-in really, as tracking is explicitly stated as a consensual activity.

I'm getting kind of tired of all the news around Brexit where every change from the current state is being portrayed as either a huge loss or huge win for Britain. The world is in CONSTANT change and I couldn't care less how many jobs Morgan Stanley shifts out of the UK or how many offices Netflix opens in the UK. Things change. Instead of being anxious about every change we should be looking forward to the future, think about what we want it to look like and then regardless of what is happening around us now take baby steps towards that future which we want now. Honestly, the world as it stands now if complete full of bullshit. The idea of globalisation is bullshit. The idea that all countries in the EU have the same goal is bullshit. The idea that companies being able to register in the most tax friendly country in the EU, produce goods where factories are the cheapest and ship goods freely to where they can sell the highest is good for anyone except the execs of those companies is complete bullshit. None of the 4 freedoms of the EU is actually beneficial to regular people, who have no choice where to pay their tax or under which employment laws they want to be employed. The current status is bullshit so any change should be celebrated, even if it seems detrimental in the moment. Only change will get us to a better place, whatever that might look like and if it won't then at least it was worth trying. Life is too short to live in a pre-defined box for all our years and never be brave to do something crazy different. I'm not English, I was an immigrant my whole life wherever I was and maybe that made me see through the majority of bullshit or just tougher in my approach to life and realise that nothing is more depressing than not going through change.
I remember back in the old days there was a whole stack of this sort of joke. It started with

"How many electrical engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?"

"We'll fix the problem in software!"

"How many software engineers does it take to change..."

All the way through to

"How many Microsoft executives does it take to change a lightbulb?"

"Darkness. The new standard from Microsoft!"

I dislike that skip levels are positioned as some sort of variation of a 1:1, as other than the # of people they have nothing in common. The 1:1 is for the employee while skip levels are all about the senior manager. We already have enough opportunities for them to set the agenda and drive the conversation. A real 1:1 is a frank conversation about early-stage (potentially bad) things and based on mutual trust and vulnerability; this is impossible with the power dynamic in a skip level.

>> when it comes to individual contributors, who are a two level skip for me, ... I do a skip level group meeting with three to six people.

and this isn't even a 1:1. I can't imagine you get any sort of honest or actionable feedback in this sort of forum. There's a mismatch between the tool and the operator.
It was $50, it was $7.

I've done a bunch of experimentation of price points over the years and the setup now converts by far the best. Started seeing conversions shoot up instantly upon deploying the latest pricing.

Prior to this setup it was $10, $25 and $50. No-one took out pro.

When I changed to $10, $20 and $30 it all changed. Now the majority of my paying customers are on the $20 and $30 plans.
> Don't be ridiculous. No other president has ever tried to overturn the results of an election like Trump.

He's trying to overturn the election, yes. Through the legal system. Isn't that the way these things should be handled?

If his case does not have merits, it will be thrown out (as it has been). A lot of people think it does has merits (right, or wrong).

The intention is not to disenfranchise anybody. His stated belief (right, or wrong), is that people were already disenfranchised by the fraud that occurred, and is seeking to remedy it through the legal system.

Simply pursuing this course of action does not make him a bad person. If you have evidence that his stated belief is disingenous - and he is indeed trying to disenfranchise people - I would be keen on seeing this.

> That's total bullshit. No it certainly isn't "unquestionable", and you have no proof of that whatsoever

To clarify, I said "to me, it is unquestionable". I understand you and many people think differently. The point of the original post is that we should try to be able to have constructive discourse on this subject - there is a huge group of people who think differently from you do, and they feel just as justified in their opinion, as you do.

If you want some good examples of the election laws that I feel were broken (in a meaningful way), read Texas's lawsuit (first 36 pages primarily):
https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/ima...

If you have read Texas lawsuit and think its total BS, I would be very interested in understanding your reasoning. Reach out to me at prucomaclu [at] yahoo.com. I am genuinely curious why these claims are deemed to have no legitimacy and would like to improve my understanding of this subject.

I don't expect anyone to agree with every single point that Texas is making. But I'm just not sure how a reasonable person can dismiss it in its entirety.

The dead professor and the vast disinformation campaign
I was just speculating a week or so ago that it might be much better if they would use stereo output for multiple speakers. That seems to be the thing that we've had the most problem with: two people start talking and the combined audio is harder to understand over videoconferencing than in person. But stereo output is pretty easy and nearly universally supported (one co-worker has a little puck-mic/speaker that's designed for conferencing and works pretty well, but has no stereo separation, for example).

This seems to take it to the next level.

I'm just disagreeing with the argument you put forth (and stating why) not saying that integrating a social component to a product is unethical. Please don't put words I clearly didn't say into my mouth.

That's your own very nebulous value judgement rather than a 'truth'.

If companies do act unethically (sometimes through ignorance) and people do not always act in their best interests it pays to be somewhat skeptical of the new whizz-bang idea for extracting more money for similar products from people. Particularly if you are working on them!

My dad is the conservative I can do what you describe with.

(Hopefully the following doesn't go against any politics rules...)

However he despises Trump/Trumpism and so sat out the 2016 election and voted against Trump in 2020.

So along a similar vein to what you're looking for, I'd actually like to have a civilized, respectful, discussion with a Trump supporter (not merely just a conservative), since my dad doesn't fill that role.

Cups, spoons, etc, are convertible to millilitres.

Most recipes call for pre-heated over at 180ºC unless states otherwise.

Cooking does not observe reproducible builds. You always, always needs to taste, poke, look. If your flour is of a different type of grain or not as fine, if you use different varieties of vegetables, or if your kitchen is a few degrees warmer or cooler, you WILL get different results.

So go ahead and use any mystical cup you want. Ingredient proportions are what matters. If you fail, write down what went wrong so you know better next time.
