As often happens, Alex Russel pushes an agenda. And that agenda is, invariably, "Apple bad, Safari bad, put Chrome on iOS".

1. All charts on the page, except one, are doctored to show greater disparity than there is. No charts except one start from zero.

Example:

"In line with Web Platform Tests data, Chromium and Firefox implement more features and deliver them to market more steadily. From this data, we see that iOS is the least complete and competitive implementation of the web platform, and the gap is growing"

Reality: the chart starts at 4 800 and ends at 7 600

- Chrome implements ~7 600 APIs

- Firefox implements ~6400 APIs

- Safari implements ~6200 APIs

Not that bad, is it? Moreover, if you look at the trends, Firefox and Safari converge whereas Chrome is running away.

And the reason for Chrome running away is, at least in part, is in the next item on the list:

2. Chrome rams through "standards" implemented by, and implemented for Chrome regardless of any objections from other browser vendors. Note the plural in vendors.

This website lists just a sample of APIs that both Safari and Firefox consider harmful and will not implement them at all: https://webapicontroversy.com/ Chrome ships them, of course.
Potentially for more favorable routing? There are some other potential niche things like maybe load testing, or doing load testing from weird IPs. It's not entirely clear to me either without having some kind of storage (in which case it would make sense as a CDN).
I was hoping you would just need to add urls to it.

I'm guessing the right way to handle this problem is to search your browser history or bookmarks but those are additional searches.
It's still very costly, and carries a long recovery period. Your head will look quite gnarly. Of course we never see that because all the celebrities that do can afford to stay out of the public eye for extended periods.
So there are various ECB rates, the one that's key here is the deposit facility rate. It's the rate at which banks can deposit money with the ECB overnight. This means if there's tons of excess deposits from customers, this rate applies. It's currently -0.5% so banks have an incentive to not become the bank of choice for cash hoarders, plus there's obvious incentives for many banks to try and push its users to other products such as brokerage which many banks offer in some form.

This is why you find these negative rates in many more countries in Europe. The Netherlands and Germany, for example. My bank charges negative interest, too, above 100k.
Ah, good. These don't appear to be legally binding at all. That's good news honestly!

I don't know how you read that into what I wrote.

It doesn't have to be perfectly safe; but it has to be significantly safer if you get it, than the disease if you get it -- which is, in fact, the case for all regularly administered vaccines (MMR, polio, tetanus, etc.), and comes with a warning and explanation for those that aren't (our pediatrician made sure we understand the rotavirus vaccine before we gave it to our child (we did) especially because it's safety profile, while still good, is not as good as the MMR and polio ones.

MIS-C is a big discussion that I don't have enough time for, but according to https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/04/new-find..., incidence in the US is 1:50,000. Acute myocarditis often goes away with no damage but not always. MIS-C does too.

And it's not even clear yet if any vaccine will stop MIS-C, so -- no, it's not an entirely acceptable risk.
Which is absolutely fine in a non-critical scenario such as picking litter, or finding your mates at a festival. But, as the article demonstrates in detail, there are too many possibilities for error, which in a life or death scenario we cannot afford. Emergency services often deal with exactly that kind of scenario.

Literally no Democrat in leadership has ever proposed "undocumented hordes of people flooding across the borders". And like maybe 3-4 of hundreds of elected democrats have ever proposed anything close to "open borders"

This is what people whose brains have been melted by MAGA twitter and Fox News believe the "other side" wants.
Honestly most businesses think they need a lot of customization because they think they're oh-so-special, but in fact something like 1) would work great for them. I know, I've worked in consulting and built software for companies who would have been better off with an off-the-shelf solution.

Substack: How the game-changer turned poacher
All returns in the space of rational strategies* are the same when adjusted for risk, which is tightly related to those vehicles subject to classical market forces. A lit oven is not a particularly great place to stash your cash, even on a risk-adjusted basis. I don't know the particulars of the situation in Denmark, but they could be intentionally making savings an irrational decision so that rational money flows elsewhere.
If a company makes it difficult to cancel, you can always talk to your card issuer. They are required to allow you to stop all future payments to a recipient but may force you to request this in writing.

However in my experience, you can usually accomplish it with a phone call and can often dispute the most recent charge as well.

IMHO, chargebacks are the best way to fight back against companies that use dark patterns in their billing/cancelation process.
I don't know much about DIDs this was my first encounter.

I was just sharing.
I’ll sprinkle that Salesforce employees have a huge pledge not to break your software as they update it 3 times a year.

On flip side, meticulous saving of cpu and memory means your solutions are super constrained. You need to do all sort of tricks like 90s game programmer and still can run yourself into corner on larger systems. Back end is supremely unevolved - their serverless functions have been in beta forever and apex is like 20 years old Java.
Thanks, you're right. He looked into it and he'll probably do it at some point, but when we read together on how to do it, we found that taking money from others is quite complex (I guess for legit reasons, from scammers to people skipping taxes), so he wanted to start sooner and figure it out once he managed to get traction.
Except that's not true, having experienced it, I would say that ClubHouse produces intimacy as a service. I've had magical conversations on the application that I've never had anywhere else.

Saying that it's just another product and that it can be copied in 5 minutes is missing the point. The choices that they've made, their decision to eschew everything except for voice, help create a medium that is intimate, thoughtful, and kind. And otherwise busy people are addicted to it.

Someone I know said that talking on ClubHouse felt like being back at Stanford. Just the electrifying conversations. The sense of possibility. There's something special here.

Recently, I decided that I'd like to interview a cosmonaut who has never been interviewed by the west before. To tell his story before a broader audience. And I started a ClubHouse room to do it, and people from around the world came together to help me. Including people who knew him! I'm just a stranger, but they heard me explain why I wanted to preserve this man's legacy and that was enough. People were happy to chip in and help.

That's magical. And I haven't experienced anything like that before. There's this profound sense of intimacy that this platform produces that's missing elsewhere.

I keep repeating myself, but there is something here. It's a mistake to discount it.
I've really enjoyed using clubhouse [1].

I'm in California and was able to cancel online but only after waiting in queue and then "chatting" with a retention specialist for 10 minutes.

This was about 2 years ago so maybe they've changed since.
Unimaginative is the wrong word, imo. GP is calling out that over-regulation introduces market hurdles for smaller businesses. This is a known and non-controversial fact. Typically it gets addressed by instituting different requirements for various key metrics like company or user base size.

Article 30 of the GDPR states that companies with fewer than 250 employees do not need to keep processing records unless “the processing it carries out is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the processing is not occasional, or the processing includes special categories of data…or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences.”

Your point about an authoritarian government siphoning user data from companies which siphoned that data is also possible and valid.
Aside from a spec that tells the "how", I don't understand what or why it is. What problem does this solve? How can or should I use this?
Laws shouldn’t name names but properties, such as: Fully documented and available APIs where first-party clients or front-ends can not rely on undisclosed endpoints.

For a chat app, that would just mean using en existing solution like XMPP or Matrix and provide API documentation for any added deltas.

The less you touch user data, the less you have to think about this.
Your theory is correct :)
Maybe it depends on where you live? From the article, he spent a long time in Alaska. Air pollution may have been a lot less than what people are used to in cities.

I had a similar issue with Google maps when they introduced 3D views. (I don't think it supports that anymore, unless they've hidden the feature somehow; I guess they've decided it competed with Google Earth?) Anyways, my impression was "this is pretty cool, but why is it so hazy? Is it like this all the time in the bay area, and so Google engineers think this is normal everywhere?"
No one is here saying it's "amazing"

I am here saying that, yes that paltry $15 an hour you scold Amazon for paying? Well mom and pop they drove out of business was paying about HALF of that.
1kb fits in most IP MTU sizes, so that seems reasonable.
> And the decline has not been because of a lack of testing. Since late September, 1.3 million specimens have been tested for influenza, more than the average of about one million in the same period in recent years.

My wife is also an ER doctor and agrees that there were times that they didn't perform many/any flu tests--mostly in the spring of 2020 and after none of the flu tests were returning positive for a while. But this past winter people have definitely been tested for the flu. Rapid influenza tests are also usually performed first, only sending to labs when confirmatory testing is desired.
> minimum wage ought to be $12-13/hour if it had simply been adjusted for inflation

The federal minimum wage in 1960 was $1.00 [1].

Adjusted for inflation, $1.00 in 1960 is equivalent to $8.86 in 2021 [2].

> this isn't control over what people think

I don't think you understand that banning people over what the Thought Police find "bad" is LITERALLY working to control what people think.

> facts that your typical karen

and you are the typical ignorant fool who complains of "godwin" then resorts to "karen hates black people" drivel. Ignorant of the same calls "Karen" made a hundred times before but all of a sudden skin color matters to everything (hint: there's a word for people who only care about skin color... the funny little hypocrisy of the Woke Crusaders is the racism that permeates every move they make to fight racism by making EVERYTHING about race even when it's not).

> Ridiculous

Considering the other stories about AI dungeon over stepping? I'm more convinced I'm right about the Woke'saders and their march down the same path of others throughout history. It is ridiculous... but that's never stopped the religious in their fervor.

> Child porn

If that's really waht's there? report it to the police and take REAL action... not some half assed Woke'sader steps.

But "think of the childrend" is a close second to "ZOMG THE NAZI'S!" when it comes to justification for overstepping in the Name Of Good. So Sayeth the Wokesaders.

> No it just causes more money to go into the stock market

A bank run is when people pull their money out the banks. If you want to put your money in the stock market you need to pull it out of the bank.
Doesn't wear out though. Question is will they require more ram in the future once 350GBs becomes cheap?
Would companies that promise “securing your iPhone” count as a dark pattern? They just seem to trick people into thinking their phone is vulnerable and can only be protected by their software instead of an OTA update.
That's exactly the thing I noticed, too.

People who want quality journalism pay for it. It comes up in the comments here a lot, how journalism has gotten lazy/bad because of the lack of money in doing it well. The solution is to pay those doing it well.
I was pretty sure Firebase was in a position to kill Salesforce’s platform, but I guess they never sold it as business platform (plus Google wood never be able to execute human Sales and Support at Salesforce scale)
> Tinder started forcing users to subscribe directly instead of using Google. This is because most people cancel almost immediately since once you subscribe you find all your matches are bots.

More likely it's because Google takes a 30% cut. Adyen takes a ~4% cut. I still maintain that if Apple and Google took a 5% cut from their app stores, no one would have complained.
That’s an impressive amount of progress already. Congrats on the work. I’m waiting apple’s next silicon to jump to arm, and hopefully by then I’m going to be able to run linux on it.
That’s not an outlandish number; retail price of the HPV vaccine in developed countries is about 200 euro a dose (though in practice usually paid by health services). They get a lot cheaper once out of patent, of course.

Local fresh avocados in Mexico are excellent. Same goes for tomatoes, strawberries, mangos, etc.

You can’t reasonably compare unripe produce transported from 1500 miles away with fresh ripe local produce.

Avocados exported from California to the East Coast can also end up mediocre.
Atomic gardening – using radiation to induce useful mutations in plants
A few years ago, my partner went to the Golden Gate Produce Terminal in South SF on a whim. It wasn’t entirely clear if members of the public were welcome, but no one seemed to notice or care.

While perusing the stocks, my partner happened upon a smiling vendor with a big knife standing beside a pile of boxed avocados. He said, “You have to taste my avocados!” as he sliced open a petite dark green fruit. My partner accepted the cube offered on a toothpick and gingerly placed it onto his tongue. Upon closing his mouth, the cube seemed to spontaneously melt into one of the most buttery, savory, rich substances he had ever tasted. Needless to say, my partner brought home a big box of avocados that day.

I was skeptical when he first told me the story, but we quickly had a knife and spoons at the ready and were digging in to a ripe specimen. He wasn’t lying after all, this was among the best things I had ever tasted, similar to an excellent piece of salmon sashimi but… better. I confess to you that we ate that big box of avocados in a week or less, our intake only limited by the rate at which the fruit became ripe. We aren’t normally gluttonous people, but those were some amazing avocados.

We eat store bought avocados several times a week, but I unfortunately haven’t had a single one in the years since that was even a hundredth as delicious as those wonderful fruits. If anything, the flavor and quality seems to be on the decline. We often joke about sneaking back into the produce terminal to find avocado man and his delicious avocados. Maybe one of these days…
> Of course, the fact that it excludes deaf people is still a concern.

I don't even understand this. What are you suggesting? That auto-captioning be mandatory for all voice applications? The technology is only barely there, and is crazy expensive to consume unless you've developed the tech in-house (ie, Google). What about Discord or just normal phones -- are those fine?

If you're just saying "have text-only channels" I don't understand the point of using Clubhouse in the first place. There are a ton of great text-only messaging platforms.
I think solving 100% is possible but unlikely as I believe it would require two things that I doubt will happen in the next 50+ years:

All cars to universally communicate with each other.

The roads themselves to have sensors relaying information to the cars.

I’m skeptical car sensors alone will ever be able to accomplish the end goal they’re seeking, especially in the face of potential bad actors intentionally trying to break them. The only way I see that changing is with some unexpected monumental leap in technology. Like a 10000x increase in storage and compute power.
Takeaway quotes from the video (these start at around 5:42):

https://youtu.be/s8rl2EVpwvs?t=344

o "When we're hiring, we always keep in mind that we're looking for people -- not positions."

o "We don't look for people who have the necessary skills -- we look for people who have the necessary desire."

o "Anyone can be taught a skill or task -- but not anyone can be inspired to care."

o "We don't hire people because they can do a job -- we hire people because they want to do a job."

o "We don't look at resumes -- we listen to references. A resume can tell you where someone's worked and how long they've worked there -- but what it can't tell you, is what kind of person they are."

o "Some of our most successful staff members -- had little to no restaurant experience when they started."

o "We look for incredible people from all walks of life. We look for great personalities and attitudes. But in order to get these people, you have to create an environment that they want to be in, an environment that they're attracted to. A place that they want to go, every day."

o "We always put our people first -- they are your main stakeholders! They are the core of your business. More so than your customers or even your investors! And if ever there was a secret to attracting and retaining great people -- that's it!"

o "We all know the expression: 'Good help is hard to find' -- but it's just not true! In fact, it's easy to find!
What's hard to find is a good environment!"

o "And I think of our business as proof -- we no longer have to go out looking for these incredible people anymore -- they come looking for us!"

o "Turnover is no longer an issue for us! Yes, in our first year, we lost like 3 - 5 of our opening staff -- but we also gained 37 new team members. In fact, today we have the opposite problem: We have too many people that we want to hire!"

I'm genuinely curious...what does she do when she wants to buy something then? From what you describe, she would have to remove all but what she wants, then re add everything.
How so?

It's just going to get rolled into the mortgage and passed on in cost of rent. Even if it's not mortgage, the people (companies) rich enough to do that will increase the price to meet their target return.

I don't see the price elasticity being a limiting factor. Your looking at $70 a month more on a $1k rent or $140 on a $2k rent, maybe even less if they plan it keep the property for a long time. People are choosing more on location and quality. Not to mention all properties, given sufficient time, will be subject to the tax and there will be no competition with existing untaxed properties to keep prices low, assuming there's any pressure to keep the price low in the first place.
Do the concerns raised here have any merit?

It sounded like it was $580 through unauthorized channels, and an authorized service technician would probably get them at cost.

The fact that the GP was able to find and substitute an equivalent part for cheaper means that the $580 had to be including the price of Something Else, and the fact that it was for sale in two different places means it wasn't just Miele.
Ok, so cancer is essentially a blanket term for describing that you have a group of cells in your body doing uncontrollable runaway mitosis (replicating themselves). But the thing is that it's caused by hundreds of different mutations to your cells in thousands of combinations. So developing a single way to combat all of this is super hard. But if we can identify your particular set of mutations and train your body to attack cells with those, we can get rid of your cancer and prevent it from returning. There are a few strategies for this and it's how some of the most incredible cancer therapies of the last few years work...those are just only applicable to certain very specific mutations.
Why do you bring Iran or NK into this? Let's get it straight: Until now, the only counties who have actually tried genocide on industrial scale, have performed inhumane tests on live subjects of other cultures or used Nukes on civilian targets have been mostly western. Heck, they were literally wiping each other out right until 75 years ago. They are also the ones actively ganging up and invading others TODAY. What delusion suddenly caused you to think it is again 'others' who are trying to wipe you out?
>or content that children would be particularly attracted to, like nature documentaries.

maybe times have changed, but you could not pay me to sit through a nature documentary back when I was 8.

nature content is a very weird gray area of content in terms of age ratings. It's technically just, well, nature. But then there can definitely be "just nature" content you don't want a kid to see.
TA was clear - there's no way to write, since static file hosting doesn't support dynamic write to begin with.

However, I imagine a service to support your scenario could be written in a standard back-end server language like Go or JS. The challenges involved would be much greater, however -- how to handle concurrency in particular. I suspect one would do better to just run PostgreSQL behind a web API.
