You touch on something that for me is the real issue: there is only one level of complexity today: maximum.

Building a blog, a news website, a niche web app, or the new Facebook, it nearly doesn't matter, you must use the latest state of art tools. We have completely lost all the intermediate levels between beginner and professional.

Sometimes it's justified as an unfortunate effect of the internet for sites and apps handling personal and sensitive data, something that the semi-professional 90's shareware didn't have to deal with. But I feel like that doesn't explain it all.
What argument are you providing? In some cases if you pretend to be an older version of Windows then things will work better, since it's possible for the kernel to end up pretending to be a new version of Windows without all the relevant semantic changes in the drivers having been made.

Companies that are extremely entrenched can use activism as positive PR. What you will never see is Companies engaging in activism that could possibly hurt themselves.

For instance a company that already pays everyone they employ more than $15 an hour might very well campaign for a $15 minimum wage. It costs them nothing and improves their image.

A company that employes a huge amount of people at the current minimum wage would never campaign for it to increase. It would be too costly. But they might find something else to be activist about. Currently popular are LGBT interests or BLM.

Both of those are worthy causes but you should give companies serious side-eye when they post BLM messaging on twitter yet campaign against raising the minimum wage or improving workers rights.

I need more information about that health care plan. Last time I looked at the market I was looking at worse premiums, coverage, and limits and making garbage pay.

Edit: I reviewed the plans they offer. Mine is significantly better, excluding the max oop. Anyone know what the costs are for for the plans?

It’s not just the seldom used gerund. People even write “peddle” for the present form.
this is nonsense. Most CEOs (and wealthy people in general) and medium-to-large companies engage in a lot of political activism, and always have. Lobbyists don't pay themselves, after all. We just don't call it 'activism' when it's in support of corporate interests (even when those corporate interests have social impacts) for some silly reason.

It only gets called activism when it scares someone with power.
If `unsafe` were viral it would be useless. Syntactically ill-typed code can still be proven semantically well-typed, and `unsafe` is intended as a marker that the proof of semantic soundness lies outside of Rust's type system. If there is no proof (at least an informal one), you shouldn't be using unsafe, generally speaking.
I don't see any way they could have snuck anything in unnoticed as a large patch. The number of people who regularly do big patches to PHP is not that large. If you send a big commit as one of them, that person would likely notice and raise an alarm they didn't do it. If you send as somebody who doesn't regularly make big changes, then people would wonder how come this person, who never submitted anything big, suddenly submits a large change without any discussion. So it would have stuck out anyway.

It could work if you do it in some poorly maintained extension, maybe, but that extension probably wouldn't be much used either.

Committing to release branch would be the worst way of doing it, since only RMs commit there, and RMs are those people who are going to notice if somebody commits to their branch and it's not them. Also, since releases are tagged manually, it'd not get into the release anyway, unless you somehow trick the RM into merging the change into their local repo without looking. Which they have no reason to since they created the branch and only they are supposed to commit there. So it'd require some serious trickery.

> Optionally, dismount.

For sure, one of the advantages of cycling is that you can at any time become a pedestrian by dismounting. This allows you to take advantage of pedestrian crossings. It's going to be really annoying to dismount at every intersection or every ~500ft/155m.

> The cyclist doesn't cross until the cars are gone.

There's a four-way stop by my house that continuously has traffic for a hour twice a day during rush hour.

> remounting as necessary

A key to road safety is behaving in a predictable manner. Cars are supposed to yield to pedestrians at crosswalk but bikes are vehicles.

It's far safer at the intersection to merge into traffic, take the lane and yield the intersection with the same rules as other vehicles.

> It's far safer than the alternatives.

History shows it's not. Sidewalks aren't designed for use by vehicles going 3x the speed of pedestrians.

It's not safe for the pedestrians and it's not safe for the cyclists.

> My question is this: Where did you get information about unions? Because people keep mentioning their "bad reputation" and then start listing off a bunch of "facts" that read like they're bullets straight out of one of those anti-union videos during onboard at several major employers (Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc).

Realistically? Probably libertarian advocacy literature coupled with a few confirmatory anecdotes that may or may not be from first hand experience. When I was anti-union, that's where it came from.

You also have to keep in mind the HN is run by a VC firm, and a lot of its culture was set by aspiring capitalists hoping to win the startup lottery. That's going to lead to certain predicable biases (e.g. taking the perspective of a business owner even if you're unlikely to ever successfully be one).

There's truth to this. After years of using macOS as my primary OS, both Windows and Linux w/various DEs become progressively more irritating the more windows are open because they both expect micromanagement, be it from the user, or automated as with a tiling WM.

Under macOS, windows just kind of exist as they want to be and pile up until you intentionally change them, and the environment doesn't push you to manage it, so you end up not putting much thought into anything but the 1-3 windows you're using at that exact moment.

The mac approach taps a bit into spatial memory too, which makes auto-tiling like with i3 irritating because then windows no longer have an inherent size or position — it all continually changes as windows open and close unless I start maintaining window sets, so at the end of the day I'm still putting more thought into management than I would've under macOS.

Because of this it's long been a desire of mine to have a Linux DE that closely mimics macOS. Some will point to GNOME, but it's more like iPadOS if it were adapted to the desktop. Elementary gets closer but still misses the mark. It would be a neat hobby project to take up but figuring out how to get started is rough, especially with all Wayland example WMs and tutorials being for tiling instead of traditional floating.
In the end, modern political activism doesn't keep the lights on, it doesn't improve the quality of your workers' output, the quality of your team, etc. Coinbase's tack while maybe seeming extreme to many is quite solid business sense.

Exactly. It's somehow not activism when corporations and executives lobby for lower taxes or less regulation, it's only activism when a company or executive say that the police should kill fewer black people or that trans people deserve basic human rights.

Affinity apps are professional-grade and feature-rich but they don't match Adobe apps feature-by-feature. This is perfectly understandable, and the Affinity team are not trying to make clones of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. But some users are clamouring for their must-have feature from Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign to make it into the Affinity apps. It will be impossible to satisfy all users and some won't switch.

The one Adobe app that has no rival is After Effects. DaVinci Resolve has motion design tools, but nothing to match the sheer features of After Effects (not to mention the vast ecosystem of plugins and the huge number of tutorials).
Yup exactly this, such a common headline from modern journalists. "Pressure is building (by us) for thing that society (us) wants to happen."
It is not true that every aspect of your life needs to be in service of political activism. It doesn't mean you're supporting the status quo because you don't spend 100% of your time doing politics.
You're conflating FAFSA and Pell Grants. FAFSA is an application for student aid. Pell Grants are the federal government grants given to low-income students. The lifetime limit for Pell Grants is $6,3465. As a low-income student, you may also be eligible for Stafford loans, which are federal subsidized loans. Subsidized meaning that the government pays for any interest accrued while you're a part time student, in your six-month post-graduation grace period, or other deferred status.

The estimated cost of attendance at one of the closest public universities, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has a yearly estimated cost of attendance of $28,695 for in-state students.

University isn't 'basically free' for low income students. My parents lived below the poverty line their entire lives. I graduated with my bachelor's degree and $80k worth of loan debt.

Sure low-income students might be eligible for needs-based grants and scholarships offered at their college. But federal support for low-income students is pitiful and college for those students is a far cry from free.

What about men's testicular/prostate health though? Bike seats are specially designed for cycling ergonomics; desk chairs are design for sitting upright in an ergonomic _stationary_ position.

I say this because I had some prostate bruising (I recovered from that quickly doing yoga), but I attribute it to sitting too long; I don't even want to think what a pedaling motion in my chair would do down there! Granted, I have never pedaled in my chair so I accept that maybe it is fine—I'm just not willing to take the risk.

Personally, I'd go more for a walking desk or something where the motion is natural, but the desired cardio effect is the same.
Colorado had just shy of 87% voter turnout. Without getting into specifics that points to a state which is pretty easy to vote in (mail in ballots, easy access to ballot boxes, same day registation, etc.)

By contrast Georgia has historic minority voter turnout and voted in 2 democratic senators and voted for the democratic presidential candidate. In response the republican state government passed a law restricting voting under the claims of voter fraud despite there being no evidence showing such fraud.

I bet you live in a warm climate. I grew up in the US south. And now, after living years in California, I have noticed that static cling is not really a thing here either. I'm not sure if cooler weather or higher humidity had to do with it, or just the type of clothes that you wear in cooler climates, but I distinctly remember having a lot of trouble peeling different articles of clothing apart after taking them out of the dryer and just getting shocked all over the place. If you took clothes out of the dryer in the dark, the room would light up dimly from all the sparks flying.

Right now I'm beta testing my app and requiring all interested users to email me directly for access. This sets up a communication channel for feedback. They're more likely to send feedback because there's already a conversation in their inbox, and it's easy for me to check in and see how things are going.

I plan on keeping it this way for quite some time, until it becomes absolutely impossible to scale further.

I usually just ask "How are you using it?", or "Is there anything that didn't work like you expected it to?"
> By that definition, you can call any paradigm-shifting invention a "platform"

I'd argue that, until proven otherwise, you probably should.

> it's a new kind of peripheral, or a new interaction paradigm that unlocks new things.

Look you're right! No doubt about that. The only problem with your mental model is that it is limiting, rather than expanding.

Even if they are wrong to call it a "platform", using wording that evokes an "expanding mental model" has benefits.

I'll give you an example of where your thinking might cause "limitation". Specifically the iPhone. In 2007 when touch screen was added to a phone, Apple could have left everything else about a phone the same i.e. "touch is just a new interaction paradigm". Basically a Palm Pilot without the AppStore or a Browser. However, they realized "touch isn't just a new interaction paradigm, its a whole new enabler/platform of <stuff not previously possible>, lets push to create that and see what happens."

People might be very wrong that personalized-audio, as a new interaction paradigm, will lead to a new enabler/platform of <stuff not previously possible>. But just because it might be wrong or not lead any where, doest mean we should discourage it's pursuit.

While interesting on a purely intellectual level, I think people unhealthily obsess over this.

Epidemiologists have warned about the possibility of a pandemic for years. They've even been pretty clear about factors that manifested in SARS-CoV-2, like it having flu-like symptoms and originating in China.

Whether the virus leaked from a lab, from a chicken or from some guy eating a bat, doesn't matter. This was going to happen one way or another and many countries, especially in the West, were incredibly arrogant thinking it wouldn't be a problem for them.

Consider Vietnam: they followed the news very closely early on and already had procedures in place that would reduce the likelihood of transmission. While Europeans and Americans were only talking about some new disease in China, they started wearing masks and tracing contacts. When we only just started recommending people make masks at home, they already had the situation under control and were providing free meals to quarantined foreigners.

We didn't take SARS-CoV-2 serious because we expected our "superior" hygiene, technology and healthcare systems to protect us even if authoritarian China had to "wall people in" to contain the spread. Surely we wouldn't need draconian uncivilized measures like lockdowns. In Germany we even maintained this arrogance when Italy had to send in military convoys to get rid of the bodybags -- of course they wouldn't be able to contain this, because everybody knows they're careless and flamboyant and disorganized.

At several points, the US lost as many people to COVID per day as it lost to 9/11. Germany is already riding the third wave with no real plans in sight and a dysfunctional vaccine rollout. New mutations are arising and taking their toll in Western countries. This isn't on China, this is on us.

So if you follow these stories out of pure curiosity, good on you. If you follow them because you desperately want someone to blame: stop. Blame your own country's government. This is on them. All they needed to do was take the experts seriously and not listen to industry lobby groups instead. Countries like Australia have understood this. Countries like Germany are too busy cutting backroom deals and playing party politics instead.

> A monopsony employer is still a big problem, of course, it's just not a problem that unions are a solution to. Try antitrust, or lower regulatory barriers to small businesses so that there are more competing local employers etc.

I like your comment, but unions aren't necessarily meant to solve this problem. Amazon imposes terrible working conditions on its warehouse workers, which a union absolutely could address.
I think in this context OP meant _social_ justice activism.
