You don't understand. The party that packs the court should have enough votes to make sure they never lose power again. If the party in power packs the court, what's going to happen is the other half of the country will just declare the federal government illegitimate and form their own.

Google may save $1B this year on the P&L, but I can assure you that a large cohort of employees are vastly less effective (especially parents!). Time will tell how wfh pans out in terms of long-term enterprise value creation, after confounding variables (i.e. COVID) are removed.

Can't say I see it the same way about the file system, although I get where you're coming from about other limitations of the iPadOS way of doing things.

I pay $2.99 a month for 200GB of iCloud, and what I get in return is a folder on my desktop which is shared between phone, tablet, and laptop. It "just works", I have no complaints. I'd be paying that money anyway just to back up my photos.

The other way of doing things is the 'share' button, and when it works, it's really great. Sometimes it doesn't, because the app I want to use next hasn't registered itself properly or something, so I have to use Save to Files as a fallback. Which is fine and has never failed me.

At least speaking to just cafeterias, if Google can forecast what their employees would've wanted to spend their money on, and then purchase that more efficiently than they could, then that is a way for Google to transfer increased value to their employees.
Moving two items out of the main enclosures in this instance also makes the device significantly more repairable.
Skio.com: Subscriptions for Shopify + Group Discounts (Spotify Family meets D2C)
Hi all - I’m Kennan and I’m excited to share Skio (https://skio.com).

We help Shopify merchants sell subscriptions and give group discounts.

The best way to think of subscriptions + group discounts is like Spotify family, but for shopping online with friends. Customers are happy because they get consistently lower pricing (vs. 1-time store credits) and merchants are happy when customers bring in friends at no CAC.

In addition to group buying, Skio has other game-changers:
* Free on subscriptions involving 1 person (instead of 1% cut)
* Built-in SMS notifications at 0% markup
* Passwordless login
* Customers can set their next delivery date
* Instant page loads
* Skio No-Code Theme Editor (fully customizable colors, a/b tested layout)

Our subscription management is rendered on our homepage so feel free to check it out: https://skio.com

We charge $50/mo + 5% cut of group subscriptions where we get you a free customer. We also offer a 60 day free trial: https://skio.com/pricing

You can compare us to ReCharge here: https://skio.com/skio-vs-recharge

If you or anyone you know is on Shopify, would love to chat! We also have an automated ReCharge migration for those already up and running. I'm also here to answer questions for the curious.

Cheers,

-Kennan
Indeed, better marketing would be good. I was so burned on the KDE 3->4 transition I haven't been back since, even though that was a very long time ago. And clearly from the article, they're doing some pretty fantastic stuff now! Gotta get in and try it out again!
The name list was, but that comment calls out "repeated, worsening incidents".

I agree with you here. When it worked, the butterfly keyboard was great to type on.

Was it the best on the market? Well, no, obviously not, one of the worst considering the reliability.

Is Apple's current scissor keyboard the best on the market? No, it was clearly shoehorned back in from older designs with minimal changes.

I would have loved the butterfly keyboard to have just a hair longer travel...and there was something about the key shape/spacing/size that made me slightly less accurate finding the correct keys.

It really was "almost there" but they had to throw it out because it was a PR disaster.
Worth investigating is whether regular use of an inversion table improves lymphatic drainage. That would be a relatively safe and inexpensive way to manage the risk of Alzheimer's. It might be even more efficient, say in milliliters of lymph drained per minute, than the usual forms of exercise.
The UFB program was a gift to the incumbent Telecom NZ. Their design was expensive and overwrought as you’d expect from a legacy telco. While it is nice that NZ has semi-decent fiber it’s still worse than my experience of FTTH overseas.

Note that there is nothing inherent about muni fiber that prevents it providing the same unbundled layer 2 and dark fiber services. But in your example of Chorus they backhaul customers over layer 2 to your location for you. That’s how your example of one guy with a router works. He puts it in Auckland and everything is backhauled hundreds of miles to it. Munis do not operate backhaul networks, these aren’t state wide networks where a guy with his router can drop it in one pop in the biggest city and serve customers from across the state. This kind of design also becomes incredibly inefficient. The provider Chorus here is really doing most of the heavy lifting and doing it in the least efficient way possible. (Back hauling layer two to POPs hundreds of miles away.)

Today all services live at layer 3 and are provided over the top. There’s a good case for just simplifying this and munis just providing the layer 3.
I just found this article which I think is really helpful as it has some good historical context as well:

I think he was complaining that Apple was the one that had lost the plot and had started separating the two, not that they should be.
Apple had never release a MacBook Air that's faster than the previous top of the line MacBook Pro. This is a first.

The air has had great battery for a while that's true, but now it has great battery and great performance.
In a lot of cases they don’t just complete projects. They run entire departments.
What are you talking about? States have been running wild passing unconstitutional gun laws for over a decade. All the Supreme Court has said on the 2nd amendment is the feds and states can't ban weapons in common use, specifically handguns - yet California has completely IGNORED this via it's handgun "roster" which is deliberately designed as a slow motion handgun ban. And you can't blame Republicans either - they have no power to stop California (which has a D supermajority) from passing gun laws.

I'm actually NOT convinced that such differences should be allowed, but given that you ARE: you should change the constitution - or the members of the courts interpreting it - to allow my state to restrict guns, because right now the claim is that such a thing violates the second amendment.
It's hard to quantify the potential loss of productivity or collaboration caused by working from home, though. No way to find out either, unfortunately.
The incentives are different. Time to market and exponential growth are not the main concerns. You have financial incentives, enforced by your contract, to deliver documentation and to test every delivery under rigorous QA.

I think this friend is working on satellite software and also (counter intuitively for me) accounting software with anti-fraud semantics.
The current, absolutist interpretation of the First Amendment came about in 1969, as a result of a Supreme Court ruling. Before that, Congress had considerably more leeway in restricting speech, and freely did so starting with the Alien and Sedition Acts.

We're living in an era where foreign states are running disinformation campaigns that swing elections. I think it's time we start thinking about putting the Brandenburg v. Ohio genie back in the bottle.

Those parents may be a lot more productive once their kids go back to in person school and after school activities that keep them away from 8-5.
Good question, and of course the difference between 445kb & 345kb may not be noticeable, but it would be if you compared it against 1/2/10mb etc.

The competitive angle is really delivering a fast/snappy/responsive experience on mobile or desktop. That in itself isn't going to save you, but it is an advantage if part of the sell is a high quality experience.

Re:interesting, for instance I just started experimenting with inlining all css/js into index.html (so far the js part is problematic), minifying classnames, and I'm curious if it'd be possible to even minify js module names etc.

Thanks for the input! Within financial goals, if you're looking to max out your 401k, you could always put in a high percentage and it should stop contributions within the sim if it reaches the IRS limit. But you do have a great point -- it would be more useful to have additional input options there such as fixed amounts.
Because the title of the article this thread is about is, "Eddy Cue wanted to bring iMessage to Android in 2013".

Which is exactly what should have happened.
Guessing Google leadership doesn't believe that, since:

If employees want to work remotely after Sept. 1, for more than 14 additional days per year, they’ll have to formally apply for it, according to a separate note marked “Need to know.” They can apply for up to 12 months in “the most exceptional circumstances.” The company could, however, call employees back to their assigned office at any point, the note said.

"We hold these truths to be self evident..."

Either you see them, or you don't. If you don't see them, explaining why is an exercise in futility.
If the cafeterias were for the employer convenience, they can purchase it more efficiently by 1/(1 - Tm) where Tm is the marginal income tax rate, which for Googlers is generally over 40% (combined federal and state and Medicare).

If the lunch is worth $12 to the employee, Google would have had to otherwise pay them $20 to leave them with enough to buy lunch after tax if their marginal rate was 40% combined. Google can probably provide it for $10, which is likely at least 50% deductible to Google.
I work on a large project and I find it impossible to work on without UML. No one else on my team draws them and that doesn't make them any less useful to me. I just think some people think better visually. I wonder if it's related to being an autodictat. My programming grey matter was formed with concrete exploration as a kid as opposed to learning later in life when more abstract thinking is possible, who knows?

I suspect more people could benefit from using it if they spent time with it. I don't think I'm that odd. I was around when writing automated tests was becoming common practice and I saw all the resistance and hate for something that is hard to know the benefit of until you do it. That might be in play and I suspect a lot of the resistances was because enterprise software development tried to make it into some oppressive process.

Here's an example design I made last year that features UML diagrams that I think are useful:

It is perhaps the single most fundamental aspect of American culture. Though of course, certain people want to subvert that principle in order to aggregate power for themselves and their interest groups. I hope they eventually see the light and embrace America, or meet the same end as the redcoats.
"Over a decade" because pre-2008 it was much more of an open question what "constitutional" meant re: gun laws, no? Hence my claim of erosion: one party decided that their interpretation was now the law of the land, overruling what the populations of certain cities and states might want.

I thought activist judges were bad?
Parents being less effective would be due to kids being at home, not due to wfh. It's not much of a distinction when it's all due to covid, but long-term the distinction matters for people who go back to out-of-home childcare/education but continue to wfh.
I'm counting at least one Supreme Court justice robbed of the American people.

By the nature of the beast, a spacecraft with humans is going to have absolutely thunderous mass and energy budgets compared to robotic ones, so any instrument you can put on a robot you can put on a manned mission.

In a similar manner, I would expect any manned mission to Mars to employ a lot of robots: control is much easier when the human making the decisions is a few light seconds away versus 8 light minutes. And if you have the mass (and money) for a manned mission, you can tuck in a bunch of robots for very little extra. So a human mission will always be strictly greater than (in scientific return and cash budget) robot mission.
Why are you so concerned about how people in other states choose to live?

"Ghost gun" is an extremely loaded term. It's built on the premise that authorities should approve and track firearm ownership, as if it is a privilege and not a right. It makes discussions very difficult. (Similarly, it would be difficult to discuss this if the headline referred to the DOJ as "the fun police".)

A neutral term would be "blueprints for 3d printable firearms".
The claim that the method was not useful seemed a little too generic. Depends on what was meant by “method”, but I took that to mean a method of software development and communication that uses lots of abstract detailed visual diagrams. I don’t think that whole idea should be abandoned because UML had problems.
There are if you work for them....
IIUC, Ad5 is a human virus. See the discussion in https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/04/28/br...

Billions of people have been born human and never been able to exercise such rights without facing repercussions, so ... claiming inalienability yet not accounting for the effective and de facto removal of them for the majority of the human experience seems like nothing more than an exercise in empty rhetorical tricks.
I'm curious what regulations (if any) exist for the parts you need to complete a ghost gun. Surely some parts can't be plastic for a gun that shoots more than once.
The most extensive 2A ruling from the Supreme Court to date is DC v. Heller. The majority opinion has the following bit in it:

> Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.

As well as:

> We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those “in common use at the time.” ... We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of “dangerous and unusual weapons.”

Are you seriously claiming that this is an "absolutist" interpretation?
Not sure if this is good or bad.

I wonder how affects the economy that this huge players keep making their accounts grow bigger avoiding these massive cash flows reach the street.
I am sometimes curious why people kept talking about a "dying" thing rather just letting it die quietly. Does it imply an underlying sentiment that we all hope someday there is a UML alternative that is truly successful?
I don't agree with the post you're replying to, but before you took over it was much more common to be shadow banned for a silly reason.

For example my first account, which admittedly didn't have top quality content, hardly did anything worthy of a ban by today's standards.

The Declaration of Independence doesn't claim rights are derived from human nature, but that "certain inalienable rights" are "Endowed by [a] Creator."

So I guess that solves it. We can have all the guns we want because God said so.

The answer to this question is complicated. JavaScript char encoding is roughly UTF-16, which is 2-bytes, but the byte you read may have been part of a surrogate so, depending on your first one, you must read the next 2 bytes to complete your character.

And of course, this basic explanation doesn’t really do justice to answering your question, because depending on your definition of what a “character” is, you may need to take into account ligatures etc.
Ok so I am in a family group for Amazon prime, netflix, spotify, and hulu. So is the idea like I just have to create a skio account and then that manages all the group subscriptions? And presumably I can get better deals through skio than if I get all the subscriptions independently.

Seems dependent on getting good brands onboard. But overall, if costs are lower for me, and it is more convenient, I think this could work. Great idea if you can execute!

What GP is getting at is that it's a big 'if'. How would you know? Every vendor under the sun is going to promise the world to you, how do vet them?
The only part that is actually considered a firearm under federal regulations is the lower receiver, so it is the only item that is controlled and requires paperwork. Everything else (with the exception of prohibited or specifically regulated items such as suppressors) is a generally available component that does not require the ATF to approve the purchase. Laws state to state on other components may vary, such as magazine capacity.
Not OP but Dropbox for example was unique and game-changing when it showed up.

I agree with OP that nothing interesting like that has shown up in years. It's all "we're gonna make your kubernetes better" now and hardly anything that makes an actual impact on your daily life as an individual.
>The approach could one day eliminate the need for arduous physics-based calculations, instead relying on computer vision and machine learning to generate estimates in real time.

This is pretty fresh tech, but industry is already using it. We are doing something approximately similar where I work. Instead of running compute intensive finite element/finite difference simulations of physically dependent systems, a neural network (typically something structured like a transformer) is trained to output the calculations up to 6 orders of magnitude faster in our applications.

This changes this allows modeling dependent science and engineering solutions to be iterated over in real time - you can see the results of your edits as you manipulate your models. And the results, at least in our applications, have some ≈98 MSE. It isn't surprising in hindsight - deep neural networks are universal function approximations, and finite modeling is as close to pure mathematics as you can get in an industry setting. It feels like a perfect use case for deep neural nets.
Yeah, fuck those people, they don't deserve representation cause it would be bad for the Republican Party.
