Top Admin Features from Spring 21

Going through the entire release note is difficult and time-consuming. So in this post, I tried to share some of my most favorite admin features from the Salesforce Spring 21 release.

I noticed too that my skin was less greasy when I quit drinking coffee abruptly.

After quitting, I had cramps in legs for 7 days while lying to the point I had trouble falling asleep.
>Iran wants to buy COVID vaccine with their own money that is in South Korea
>South Korea refuses money access due to US sanctions

Yes it is not directly related to this post. But this witch hunt against Iran is beyond retarded. I get why Saudi Arabia and Israel would join ties against Iran it makes sense.

But for US, Japan and South Korea to join just due to personal and financial motives is a literal disgrace to humanity.

On the one hand, like the article says, quitting caffeine can have its benefits...

But on the other, I would (comedically! <g>) argue that

Caffeine is the most beautiful substance known to Man!!!

I mean, think about all of the benefits!:

The Police can't pull you over for drinking too much caffeine, the FBI can't arrest you for trafficking caffeine (you know, moving caffeine across state lines; that old Commerce Clause thing of the Constitution!), there's no "caffeine crisis" in the U.S. (like the opioid crisis), etc., etc.

On the flip side, I suppose it could be argued that the U.S., while energy-independent(!) -- is not exactly "caffeine-independent"; that is, we still rely on foreign nations for a huge portion of our coffee supply... you know, that whole Juan Valdez (not that he isn't a great guy or anything like that!) thing! <g>

Also, Eric Clapton hasn't written any really great songs about caffeine! <g>

Disclaimer: I do not work for Starbucks, or any other
coffee company, or anything like that! <g>

(Also, I can just picture a "coffee famine" in the U.S. -- people knocking at the doors of Starbucks, offering to pay $20 a cup for coffee or more; but there's no coffee to sell! It wouldn't be pretty!

...But thank God that's not the case! <g>)
By the way, UserLAnd [1] does something very similar on Android (and is accordingly not affected by these changes).

I have a fairly limited acquaintance, but my impression is that quite a few people read steadily. There is a whole Washington BS culture (matched, I'm sure in many other large cities) of talking about this or that book that will likely flood the used market untouched. But that's a stratum that makes noise out of proportion to its size.
Howdy - I may be too early to post here as I'm really more interested in a thought partner who has the potential to become a cofounder in ~1yr+ if we decide to launch something. My background is mainly in sales and growth (early at Gigster, ran a venture for Rocket Internet in Berlin, ran a team for the Estonian govt's e-Residency project, Fellow for NYC CTO's Office).

I'm really interested in tech in the government space. I feel like there are many, many problems with government, whether it's at the federal level finding wasteful spending, automating audits for the IRS, or somehow making the DMV less awful. I've been researching ideas and doing due diligence but haven't found something killer yet and am looking for a thought partner on the eng side of things to bounce ideas around with.

I wonder if that means the UI customizability will no longer be less than that of Windows 2.

The only thing, the _only_ thing I could ever possibly want is a return of the Classic view.

I harbor no hopes that either one of these things will happen.
Based on recent sales, our house has been appraised in the low $700,000 range for the last few years. We just put it up for sale and received three offers. $1,025,000, $1,030,000, and $1,050,000.

I’d say something is going on with home prices.

I think the author is confused about what inflation is, vs the benefits reaped from the advancement of technology. The author also seems to have a bias against the people screaming "inflation". That is pretty obvious from the title. To show real inflation, I like using the Burger King whopper as an example. In the early 90's I remember being able to buy 4 whoppers for $1. With the advancement of farming technology, transportation technology, preservation technology, etc.... Why do we see the whopper cost over $7 now?
So are we not going to talk about how economic sanctions end up as a way to use the people of these countries as a way to pressure their governments for political gains? How these sanctions directly and indirectly cause an increased poverty gap and negatively impact the living standards? How the governments of these sanctioned countries magnify this economic pressure to prevent people from revolting and to entrench their presence even more?
So look at (one one hand) a customer worth... well, PureLabs is "10 incredible FTEs," let's give them the $21/user/mo Enterprise plan at $210/month in revenue.

On the other hand, a sanctions violation could be a $65,000 fine (Trading with the Enemy Act) or $250,000 (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) for each offense. (I leave aside the million-dollar narcotics-kingpin act). On top of this we also see the risk of criminal prosecution.

In what world is it reasonable to expect anyone to take this chance?
Most countries require SIM registration using a government issued ID document (including prepaid ones). Some providers offer ID registration even for prepaid SIMs. If you want privacy from your government too, don't use SIM-based (sms or call) 2fa.

That's generally a suitable backup in my view.
I think maybe that determining the defense's evidence as not "legally meaning findings" constitutes an a opinion of some kind, even if only through exclusion. I mean 130 pages on why he is guilty does not quite say: We were only interested in making a mental health determination as some of the comments seem to suggest. Then again, maybe there is much more there that I did not read or understand properly.

The conduct being refereed to is part of the issue many people are having here. As the defense argued the conduct is that of an investigative journalist. If such conduct constitutes an offense in the law, then some are worried that there is precedent to charge a wider range of conduct then previously though possible. Weather this is true or not remains to be seen I guess. Either way its a meaningful determination that this judge made.

Ok buddy. Good luck with China and not using American software.
I just downloaded it and tested it out. It really is a very cool, polished product.

The video cuts when you remove "uh" and "um" are too jarring for anything professional, but OTOH for some internal work stuff I could see a use for this. And as someone who has used 0 video editing software, I was able to start making changes within like a minute, which I think is quite impressive.

That said, not sure I have enough use case to pay for it, personally.

NB: it's kind of impossible to prove you're not a sock puppet, because of _course_ a sock puppet account would say they're not a sock puppet account.
To play devil's advocate only:

If Bob paid $COST for a phone and it got exploited because of this, Bob may throw his phone out of the nearest window.

Do you think there are more Bobs than you in the world?

Personally, I find this reliance on the GOOG OS awful, but most of it was overcome with Xposed last time I ran LineageOS. I tried Cydia last time I ran IOS and that was worse.

I've thrown several phones out of the window (metaphorically) and am waiting on my PinePhone being delivered because I believe in their goals.

Scarcity is necessary but not sufficient for something to have value. There are plenty of rare things that are worthless. Various forms of toxic waste, for example, aren't particularly common and have negative value.
I agree, something is up with that. Mars is further from the Sun than Earth, so it's colder. So cold that dry ice forms.
It's so peculiar that you - and some guy on twitter, apparently - are quoting a footnote to a FAQ on Treasury's OFAC information page as if that captures the entirety of an American company's obligations under the law. This is really obviously crazy, right? In any other, less political, context involving business law and liability the advice would be "talk to a lawyer."
>have been accomplished almost completely by reducing the weight of the cars

This is entirely false. All the work in materials to make cars lighter has been countered by added amenities (from power seats all the way to chilled cupholders), additional safety measures (extra airbags), and (in the U.S. at least) shifting preferences toward trucks and SUVs.

From the first google result on the subject, slate: "The average new car weighed 3,221 pounds in 1987 but 4,009 pounds in 2010."

Much of efficiency gains are coming from improved engines which have better control of the combustion process to make sure fuel burns more completely and less energy is wasted, or in other words, engines are better quality.

I had a few paragraphs written earlier (maybe half) over the course of the pandemic.

I spent a lot of the pandemic procrastinating by trying to build my own blogging software, a more efficient version of Ghost, but it’s too much duplicated effort given what I learned at AWS reinvent. So I decided to just set up and start publishing.

I write for about two hours a day, maybe four days or writing and two of editing for each article. I’d like to publish once a week, but don’t want to set that kind of goal because then I’ll write even if I have nothing interesting to say. But maybe that’s the best process anyway?

Will tell you what’s working if you ask again in a couple of months :-/

In the theatre industry the union's work to limit supply and demand is usually along the lines of assigning work by seniority and seniority based on how much work someone has done, so when you first get into IATSE, you have to be really flexible and available for whatever work comes along so that you can accumulate the time to get more work.

This somewhat limits entrants. Some IATSE locals use different variations on that work assignment strategy and some entrants get work outside the union, so it varies by location, specialty, sector, etc.

Epoch's don't break libraries - that's the whole point.

They manage this by allowing using a different epoch in a library than the application that uses it, and defaulting to the original epoch if you don't ask to use a new one.

The vast majority of rust 1.0 libraries should still work with modern rust programs, I vaguely recall that there was one minor backwards incompatible change as of a result of memory safety bug (an exception to the guarantee), but I can't remember what it was and I can't find it with google so it might actually be all rust 1.0 libraries still work.

Funny Story.

When I went to London for the first time I meet a ridiculously attractive Swedish Arab girl. She had mentioned she really wanted to visit America, but with the recent election of Donald Trump she was a bit scared.

Not all of us like Eastern European women, Trump blocked my game right there.

The point of this story is anyone can meet anyone from anywhere and the nasty racist system the US has for blocking certain people because they have the wrong last names or whatever doesn't do anyone any service.

I also don't think embargo serve anything aside from radicalizing other people's. Take Vietnam, now you have Coca-Cola, and McDonald's succeeding to do what 20 to 30 years of Western imposition couldn't, they've made Vietnam capitalist. That was accomplished once the embargoes were removed in the nineties. Even with Cuba ,I'd imagine if the embargo didn't exist you'd see much more reform as individuals would eventually be able to succeed on their own merits.

Have you read anything about Bitcoin upgrades or new second or third layer solutions of the last four years?

Liquid is a side chain that works with “blinded” amounts (so you can see a transaction but not an amount) and works with blocks every few seconds.

Lightning is another second layer tech that allows transaction within seconds.

RGB is a third layer tech on top of Lightning that allows you to create stable coins or other useful banking applications.

Tesla was all the rage for a couple of years, especially due to their exceptional (and free) charging infrastructure and weak competition. The government has done a lot to facilitate the expansion of the public charging infrastructure and this makes it more attractive to buy electric cars from other brands. Teslas are so common here know that it has lost much of its novelty. There are so many cars to choose from now.
For me I felt more rested and alert upon opening my eyes in the morning, since that was no longer the peak withdrawal time. And not riding a rollercoaster of cortisol all day made it easier to choose my own mind state, e.g. meditation or reflection vs. action and anxiety.
One thing I never understand about connection pool is how do they handle server-sent close connection (FIN) events? Like I can guarantee there are tons of CLOSE_WAIT connections on my near-idle Python process for various of db pools, mysql or redis or pg.

For sqlalchemy it just complaints "MySQL server has gone away (error(32, 'Broken pipe'))" and never know how to recover. For redis it just 100% the CPU and keep epoll the dead TCP.

Agreed. I considered, and still consider, Microsoft in the 80s through the late-90s to be excellent at UI/UX. Windows 2000 was the pinnacle for good UI, and Windows 7 with the Classic UI mode was the best it ever got.

Microsoft has abandoned most of their own principles (and they were good principles) of UI developed in those days, and now everything seems to be designed by a committee of schizophrenic art school dropouts.
I drink lots of tea. The few times I stopped for a few days I remember feeling a bit off, but could be a coincidence. However I rarely drink coffee and when I do, I notice it's much more powerful and makes me a bit jumpy. So I'm wondering to what extent tea drinkers have the same problem as coffee drinkers.
On one hand, he's not wrong, overall inflation for 2020 was on par for a normal year, we're not headed into hyperinflation territory just yet. But you also have to realize that some people are affected quite a bit harder by the crazy shifts in deflated and inflated costs this year.

https://inflationdata.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2020/1...

Look at the breakdown of the line items that make up the US inflation rate for 2020 and you see that the massive drop in fuel cost (-19%) caused a massive offset to the overall number. Meanwhile food cost has gone up over 3%, medical expenses also went up over 3%. As we head out of this hell hole it will be interesting to see if inflated sectors return to more normal levels again.

That's the federal budget. Aren't things like road or education typically part of the state/city budgets?

I'm not American, but I used to live in NYC, and thus paid my taxes there. I was always under the impression that: federal budget is for the armies/FBI/CIA/NSA/FDA and other three letters agencies. On the other hand state taxes, city taxes, and sales taxes are for roads, schools, hospitals, firefighters, police and the MTA.

I'm surprised the federal budget even has a line item for Education, or Housing & Community!
Me too. I still have no idea what this thing is doing. An excellent example for a poorly written landing page.
the anti-amazon thing has legs, but the angle of attack to get beachhead might be difficult. Open problems:

1) fake review/counterfeit problem
2) support mom and pop

Google Shopping is trying to go after the "amazon prime for the rest of the internet", which seems like a good idea.

On 2), One thing to do would be to do what doordash did, just go to 50 mom and pop retail stores in one region and talk to them. see what their problems actually are.

The fake review/counterfeit goods problem is actually pretty hard to solve, but it's interesting because it's not on amazon's top 3 problems list, so you could disintermediate. Ways to solve it that may be businesses: machine learning, limiting manufacture geo's, relying on video product reviews with trusted influencers, tracking PE acquisitions as a proxy for brand deterioration, reading negative reviews first, etc.

> especially among people who have money, because inflation erodes the value of savings.

What? Wealthy people don't buy CDs. They tend to invest heavily in assets. Often, these are leveraged assets like real estate or equities in a margin account.

NOTHING makes the rich richer like inflation. Reducing the burden of low-interest mortgage or margin debt whilst boosting earnings in equities.

Meanwhile, the poor still pay 20%+ on credit cards used to buy food that gets more expensive every year, and see annual rent increases from their landlord.
