Much as I dislike literally==figuratively I'm not sure what descriptive vs. prescriptive has to do with standard reference. I'm somewhere between the poles. On the one hand see figuratively comment. On the other hand, languages are living things. And, to my example, if you tell me you have four fingers on one hand, I'll ask you how the accident happened.

I also think you'll find a lot more organizations that use MW as their reference standard than other US dictionaries.

This claim, often repeated, is misleading to the point of dishonesty.

Corn isn't really subsidized, and iowa corn farmers are not the benefactors of the agricultural bills. Cattle producers and chemical corporations are subsidized, and the way they're subsidized is by a myriad set of policies which encourage grain prices to stay very low. This makes cattle feed cheap and corn and soy inputs to chemical plants cheap.

If the price of corn doubled, farmers could afford to pay their mortgage and taxes without trying to extract every bit of possible yield. But then the price of beef would go up and the profits of 3M and Dupont would go down, and that's a far more powerful force than farmers in Iowa.
Rapeseed oil isn't green energy. It's just more big-Ag.

I can think of a variety of ways. Some involve running some code on the VM. For example, dnscache or dqcache would work. This can also be complished using tinydns. Tiny programs that use very little memory. But it sounds like you are trying to avoid asking the user to install anything other than flyctl on the "bare Linux VM". What is not clear is what programs are installed by default in the "bare Linux VM". The other question is how many ".internal" domains the VM will need to resolve. The simplest solution that comes to mind is when the user provisions an IP, flyctl writes the ".internal" domain(s) for that IP to /etc/hosts. /etc/resolv.conf can then point to whatever the user prefers.
IMO, users should be running their own DNS servers, not setting /etc/resolv.conf to point to third party DNS addresses like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or whatever. In the case they are running their own DNS server on the VM, then it becomes trivial segregate internal from external domains. The configuration for dnscache is so easy that it could be done by the flyctl program, requiring no user interaction. (Something like tinydns-config.) One could even have configurations for a variety of DNS servers in flyctl, in case the user prefers unbound, etc.
"The flagship industry of the definite optimism of the 1950s was engineering. The flagship industry of the indefinite optimism of the 2010s is finance.

If Apple turned an investigation team onto the app and pointed all forensics at it, I could see reason for wanting to collect data before shutting it down.

If you work in private equity, it's the worst. Your company isn't actively trading stock, but you still get banned from options, shorts, and need pre-clearance for every single trade. So you end up long SPY... even if you derive independent utility from actively managing your portfolio.

The law doesn't require this of course, but basically all money managers get their insider trading compliance program from the same 3 outside law firms.
California has high inequality compared to other states because the rich people don’t want to live in those other states. It’s not like people are rushing to move to Mississippi or West Virginia.

We do. Problem is, while individually, we're much smarter than bacteria, as a large group, we're just as dumb as groups of them.

Take our main coordination mechanism - the market. For all that's been said and written about it, it's still basically gradient descent. As greedy as it gets - in the technical sense. It's what's been driving the development of humanity ever since we formed societies. It's what controls the behavior of everyone.

We may think we're smart and have principles - and we do. But the reality still is, everyone is spending most of their lives trying to align themselves to exploit the local economic gradient - because that's how individuals get more of what they want, and less of what they don't want. Nobody is strong enough to single-handedly reshape the larger economic gradient. So while individually, we play complex games, at macro scale, we're not all that different from slime molds or fungal growths.

Maybe one day our economy grows so sophisticated it'll gain sentience. But that doesn't necessarily mean things will get better - much like an individual human being sentient doesn't mean their cells are happy.
I didn't think so, but you could very well be right.

That being said... /Peloton/Apple/s and I feel the point still stands. It's a weird feature of IP law that either Apple or Peloton deciding that they don't like each other means X hundreds or thousands of users just have their products that they've already bought suddenly get worse overnight.

I think at some point we should ask whether that's a consequence of IP that's desirable for the market and/or for users.

As you can tell, I am not into Hinduism/Buddhism, but I try to derive value from any possible source, but to derive it, I need to define it. While I understand that you can't really describe some things, we are getting into "can't describe AT ALL, not even in some vague sense" when we get into mystical experiences.

I find this strange, since I can describe the value of things like lucid dreams, full relaxation, etc, at least to some degree.

This is a very simple understanding of economics that's ~100 years outdated. Most of the world's largest companies sell goods and services with relatively inelastic demand and/or significant barriers to market entry. What IP does Coinbase have that makes their service/good inelastic? Tomorrow when all coins are supported on Robinhood, Cash app, and Venmo, why use Coinbase? COIN investors haven't given me a good answer here. It just comes off delusional to me.

> They have 56 million verified user accounts.

This is a deceptive number. Coinbase has ~6M monthly active users at a time when crypto grew in value 10x. Average account duration is, I'm sure, very low. Schwab has ~30M active brokerage accounts. These are actual, comparable numbers. 56M is pretty much anyone that made an account with a linked email, no?

I saw something recently that showed the dustbowl was from loss of native grasses that had deep roots to crops that couldn't contain the soils and hold the bio-mass... Eventually without the root mass of the native grasses, it withered away...

The treatment of the soil as if it is infinite and something purely to be extract is exactly like oil and mineral mining no matter the scale...

Regardless of the dust bowl and the types of farmers that caused it, the hopes are that we learned how to farm within the ecology of the region(s) we live in and how those regions may vary from one another and we should build adaptive farms that work in harmony...

You did not afford to buy if you are fretting every short term price move.
They've been pretty good at banning things at the provider level. Sites in the UK seemingly get banned by everyone as soon as the government requests it. Similar in Germany, and they go out of their way to analyze most or enough torrent data going through I believe all ISPs to detect what you pirate. Doing the same for detecting encryption doesn't seem farfetched.
Can we start lobbying for a tracking ban? This only helps big corporations to manipulate consumers and improving techniques of manipulation.
So use the monthly subscription then. It's preposterous to expect someone to refund you simply because you changed your mind.

That is the indivisible product you now own.

Bestbuy still has mostly functional phones. I recently went by my local one to play with a Pixel 4A before buying it there unlocked. When I worked at Radioshack (2010-2013) we had mostly dummy phones except for the companies that were desperate enough to have "dumb" demo phones that felt like a real phone but just played a looped video on the screen.

My guess is that Bestbuy has more money so they can afford the rare demo phone getting stolen somehow. Funnily enough when I worked at Radioshack we often had people steal the fake phones that just played a video loop. Someone even tried to return a fake phone once saying that we sold them a broken device.
Amazing for you!! I cannot even get a visitor visa to EU without jumping through hoops. When I moved to US, I had to make the same sacrifices.

Descriptive: Describes how people use the language.

Prescriptive: Describes how language should be used.

Descriptive dictionaries are highly favoured by those who like to effect change (I'm deliberately avoiding the word Liberal because I'm not in the US and I understand that word to be politically charged for many HN readers). Prescriptive dictionaries are more favoured by those who keep traditional values. Descriptive dictionaries can be used to say "I'm using the word correctly" and prescriptive dictionaries can be used to say "you're using the word incorrectly".

3) Can ditch my phone and still pay, call, access calendar, maps.

4) Seamless and fast charging.

5) Track various interesting health parametrs (O2 during sleep, heart rate during the day, activity levels etc). Syncs all of those in a clean interface (Apple health).

6) Tracks my chosen workout with literally just a touch and swipe. Also tracks if or me incase I forget to touch and swipe.

From a health perspective it is freaking amazing.
Bestbuy just charges a 15% restocking fee on all phones returns now if you opened the box. As someone who often has buyers remorse or didn't get an adequate experience in store first I'm completely fine with that.

The first time I bought them in the UK it was by bank transfer, I don’t remember the site but apparently they held the coins in escrow and then when the bank payment was confirmed they release them to the buyer. They gave you a random code to enter as the payment reference, and said many many times not to put anything like “Bitcoin” in there. :) The release was pretty fast, so either the seller was really active or they used an API to monitor payments into the seller’s bank account.
Pass uses public key to encrypt files, an attacker needs to know only the public key to forge pass files, and that public key isn't secret, it's stored in plain, unencrypted, that's why you can create pass files without entering master password that protects private key which is not used to create pass files. That's the catch with asymmetric encryption.
Yep, this is correct. Others in the thread have recommended getting the camera as close as possible to compensate for the wide angle lenses of webcams, but this is suboptimal. It creates the unmistakable visual impression of being right in someone's personal space while you talk to them. You can create the same effect where someone is easy to see just by using a camera with a narrower field of view and a longer focal length, without the distorting effect caused by being too close.
