Thank you. I've used some of the tours from Google Arts & Culture but I'll get more tours from there.
> The Kamloops school operated between 1890 and 1969.

I was going to querry what the estimated amount of dead children there would be as baseline, but the school operated way later then I anticipated and for a shorter time. So 500 pupils and two die every year if uniform, but I guess the deaths were weighted heavely to the beginning. Sounds like a really bad environment for the time, right? The spannish flu surely didn't kill half the school?
I wouldn't say Google is monopolizing captcha, its that captcha is hard and you essentially need to come up some expensive problem that is hard for computers but easy for humans.

Personally, I hate hCaptcha more than recaptcha, Craigslist uses it for their contact forms and I hate. hCaptcha is much more difficult and tedious than recaptcha.
This means ProtonMail know who you are if you did not use third-party VPN.
I'm not sure why the downvotes. I see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot for instance that links have a half-life of two years. Of course, links differ from content, but the point is that online content is ephemeral (the wonderful Wayback machine nonwithstanding).
That baffles me sometimes. A lot of people see some features that they think of as gimmicky on their own. But then all of the sudden Apple releases something new that utilizes all those little features and combines them to something groundbreaking.
Assuming there is a release.

We apologize for that. It's a weekend and we are working on giving folks responses as quickly as possible. Therefore, the responses are more to the point than usual.
One thing that has been surprisingly amazing: I got stretchable sheets. They are awesome. Won't use normal sheets again.
When you log in with a password server gives you a cookie/token so you stay logged in. It can be invalidated if your IP changes, it expires or something like that. But if you're logged in with 2FA those rules can be relaxed, it's a simple as that if you ask me. Implementation dependent of course.

I don't think those sites show you a captcha before you enter your login and password, but rather on submit. So for that username you don't show them a captcha at all, if they don't have a proper cookie you ask for 2FA.
Same exact thinking here, plus apple devices being way expensive for not much gain over cheaper devices + not being able to install apps not from the app store + fully closed source OS is keeping me on the android team as well.
> It's not the same thing

Personification != same thing. I think you missed the point.

> That's not possible with sound waves at the town square.

Huh? I can simply not go into the town square.

> If we all agreed that twitter was trash and we all just stop going, then it's over - that village idiot has no power.

Exactly. but there are enough people benefitting from Twitter that they simply don't care that the village idiot has power (or they are the village idiot themselves).
I know a lot of people who swear by Eight Sleep.
Honestly, I have the opposite problem since I fully internalized how little I get compensated compared to people higher up in the org chain.
Sounds like you have the energy and drive and obsession to work for yourself.
This seems to be assuming bad faith, you've changed a complaint of a missing feature into a different request for a new feature (because contacting support is inconvenient), which are two different things. It would be best to not confuse the issue, and to focus on doing what you can to support the feature request, if that's what you're interested in having.
Purple mattress (original purple) on a purple frame. Like it at first but not so sure about it now TBH.

I own a cheapo Zinus double in a spare room that I actually sleep very well on.. Its firmer. I also prefer the Zinus two piece platform to the purple.
You know what? I'm sometimes wondering why I can't see any picture of something I've experienced while I traveled by train from Bonn, Germany to Madrid, Spain to visit my best buddy, who moved away to there with his parents. For my summer holidays, about 1980 or so. Alone. For two days on the trains! Yay!

What I will never forget was while I had to take the Metro in Paris to switch from one terminal station to another, the Metro rode trough some subterran depot/switching yard, which was a large rectangular hall, at least several 100 meters long, almost 100 wide, and 10s of meters high. Dark. Except for the signals, warning-lights, whatever in orange, white, yellow, red, green, blue lining all tracks and the ramps going up and down into and out of it. I'll never forget that, because it was so unexpected. Almost like the glide-path indicators during night approaching large airports, as seen from the cockpit. But below the ground. And not old and grimy at all. Modern, light concrete. Really very 'spacy'.

Maybe because it would be unwise to go there, because not abandoned? Anyways, at the times I rode through there it was empty, no other trains at all. Just the blank tracks and switches reflecting all those colored lights and signals.

I really wonder what and where exactly that was.
I got a new bed in a box from Helix. Honestly, quite surprised and happy with the purchase. Also got a lower bedframe with it. The other important thing is a sleep mask to cover eyes if you are sensitive to light coming through the windows and like to sleep in late.

I want to try this.

Can you share any details about that "regular pillow?" Ideally an online link that will ship internationally, but failing that: Materials, thickness, density, really anything that might be relevant would be helpful.
>What other possible motivation could there be for such a thing than wanting the attention?

To be fair, convertibles are similar. The wind noise of the open air is very loud when moving at speed, so the stereo must be that loud to compensate. There are some setups that will increase/decrease the volume appropriately as the speed changes, but that's not always the case. So as the bike is sitting at a light, the sound is still blaring at the same volume. Maybe the rider is still an asshat for not lowering the volume, but I'd go so far as saying their an asshat for refuting the concept the sound of the ride is the experience by blasting choons.
Wouldnt this just create the environment for a more resistant virus in a shorter period of time?

I did not calculated the chances yet but here is what my probability intuition is saying

Having 50% of population go through virus in one year creates a less fit environment for a more resistant mutation than having 50% of population being exposed to virus in 2-3 months.

Like more encounters over a shorter period of time is a good environment to allow survival of resistant mutations.
Nope. It's performative and will collapse under First Amendment grounds; would even if the Feds tried it.
I was too lazy to find another word. I do prefer those things too. Also RTF for documents. I guess I meant: it appears to be the community consensus.
One pod is one exactions, and that release says they have dozens.
Most people don't have a "career". With that I assume that you want to become management or CEO. Everything else is just normal work. In that sense, exchanging motherly duties with meaningless work is not worth it.

>trying to create one presentation which serves as a discussion aid and a formal document of record

It can depend on the context. A presentation that I'll give at an event is mostly fairly worthless as a leave-behind. It has relatively few words and is graphically rich. On the other hand, I sit through a lot of presentations at work where the slides basically are a document (in a form that a lot of people find more digestible than a standard text document). And if the speaker is good, they'll spend their interactive time hitting what they think are some of the highlights. I don't have any real problem with that.

One of the nice side effects is that if someone skims a slide of particular interest to them and they see something confusing/interesting, they can ask the speaker about it even if the speaker didn't bring it up.
> you don’t understand

Understanding an argument and agreeing with it are not the same thing. I understand the premise and argument for spaced-repetition algorithms, but I do not agree that these algorithms provide a meaningful advantage over paper cards when you consider that paper cards must be written. The act of handwriting cards is an advantage paper cards have over software cards, which I believe more than offsets any algorithmic advantage the software cards have.
I have a Baavet woollen duvet (https://www.baavet.co.uk/), and I love it. It’s made not far from me, and regulates heat really well. Less of a fan of the pillows but can’t recommend the duvet enough.
Yes, unless those laws are unconstitutional, like this lawsuit asserts:

> The groups argue the law, set to go into effect July 1, violates the First Amendment by compelling platforms to host speech they'd otherwise remove.

> They also argue it violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment by exempting some companies, and that its vagueness violates the due process clause of the 5th and 14th amendments.
I have many problems with my postures thoughout the whole day (bad habits and WFH), but I exercise semi-regularly.

I do stretching, running, or swimming- one or multiple of these all year.

I guess that is what saves me from back pains and other trouble despite bad postures.

Even when I didn't exercise (before age 14), I did not have any back pains despite sleeping on a very hard mattress.

Talk to your doctor and/or do a little exercise regularly. That should help. Don't start exercising with existing back pain without consulting an expert, though.

Nvidia plans to own the data center with AI
I always found that frustrating. In some Windows apps, there is a toggle switch with words like: 'Disable {this}' and the toggle is turned off by default. So which is it? Enable or disable? One trick I learned is that if there's a double negative in a user interface, then that means a positive. My computer science course that involved learning about logic gates helps me out in these situations.
Great topic! I've tried so many things and have had a hard time finding something that works for me - specifically for my neck. I guess it's good to add contextual info - what your situation is and WHY this works for you so that people with similar issues might be able to find a good lead.
I've been saying for years that authoritarianism is headed to America if we don't protect it.

With the downfall of Florida as well as many other states, perhaps authoritarian control has truly taken over.

This is all about Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans being upset that Twitter banned Trump. This law is as authoritarian as it gets.
ProtonMail apparently also releases details about their customers email sending timestamps to the press. Very strange and not a good sign IMHO.

The most hilarious part of this law is that there is a specific exception carved out for any company that "owns and operates a theme park or entertainment complex". You would think oh, maybe there's some hidden complicated reasoning for this? Nope. The sponsor of the bill literally said he wants to make sure Disney+ "isn't caught up in this".

It's crazy to see such blatant, open corruption in American politics.
Pillows. I'm most opinionated about pillows, I have been my entire life. If I had to save a single thing from my bed setup, from a fire, it would be my pillow -- https://hullopillow.com

It's very cool. I hate pillows that make or keep my head warm. The buckwheat hulls are very sparse, not at all insulative, so they don't keep my head warm.

The pillow is infinitely-malleable, so it's very easy to reach a comfortable position. I'm tall with broad shoulders, so sleeping on my side is hard. Most pillows are too thin. The buckwheat pillow is easy to pile up under my head when I lie on my side.

Previously I'd used a contour memory foam pillow, like this -- https://www.contourliving.com/contour-pedic-memory-foam-pill... I got many years from that. But it's warm, and still not tall enough to sleep on my side, and it's very hard to clean.

Get a buckwheat hull pillow, a good one. That's my advice.
The IKEA ROSENSKÄRM pillow is really good!
Firm-ish Zinus mattress on Zinus metal foundation, best my back has felt in years after trying many super soft memory foam mattresses like Tuft & Needle and standard innerspring mattresses.

For anyone with back pain I would suggest trying firmer over softer and training yourself to be a back sleeper if you’re not already
This is a far better article. What is posted by OP should be replaced with your link.
Yeah, sleeping on the floor is great!

My back feels so much better when sleeping on the floor than it does on even the firmest of mattresses, and most mattresses are way, way too soft for me.
Maybe near Nation?
What really devastated me was when I found out that even if you try to keep yourself private, you'll get exposed by your friends: Just by tracking that you are regularly close to others, for example meeting for a camping trip, you suddenly get camping advertisements - probably because your friends searched for something or booked the trip via Gmail or whatever. I don't really know how it works, but it's awfully scary.
I have latex pillows from "sleep on latex" that I like. Expensive for pillows, but seem to last forever.

"In the animal world bare teeth are considered to be a threat. Hence I think there is some instinctive fear of bare teeth built into our social perception system."

Except a human smile is more akin to a canine's greeting/appeasement grin. And much more so like a Chimp's play grin. There are toothy displays in mammals that are not threatening.
I am 32 and have lost both of my parents.

My mom passed when I was 15. I felt extremely horrible back then for quite long.

My dad passed away last December, on the SAME DAY with my wedding. Only a few hours after the ceremony. It was like a rollercoaster of emotion within a span of 24 hours -- from smiling and shaking hands in the morning to mourning at night.

After such events, I still do not have any good way to cope with the losses. Maybe I am now better at accepting the fact that my parents are gone forever -- no more family gathering with them, no more arguments, no more adult talk, etc. Everything just becomes silence.

So I accepted the silence. I allow thoughts of them to come to me, replay the memories in my head, then try to not hold on the thoughts. My tears still fall occasionally but such times do not feel as painful as in the earlier days.

Hope you will soon find a balance point for your emotion.
Hey Patrick,

Very similar boat as you, and my career has gone fairly well. I won’t say any of the advice below is bad; however, I would point out how all over the place it is. The reason that’s true is that you’re seeing each person’s personal experience come to light in these threads, and they’re doing their best to help apply that to your question.

So, rather than tell you how to create a balance that’s right for you, I’d suggest spending a couple of months with a therapist who specializes in work related challenges. You might find that you benefit from having someone you can work with over a few months to aid in the discovery of what matters most to you in your life and career, and then help you form a plan and take action against those desires.

Regardless of what comes out of those conversations, you may find that your priorities and balance change month to month, year to year, job to job, etc. Life is beautifully dynamic, and you get to be in the driver’s seat of how you choose to traverse it each and every day. This statement is not true for the vast majority of people on this planet, but it thankfully is for you.

I hope you ultimately find long periods of enjoyment with your personal and career journey.
> I dont really get the obsession in the US with those >$1000 mattresses.

Americans have extraordinary amounts of disposable income (among the top five in the world at the median) and a culture that likes consumer spending.

What doesn't make sense accordingly?
This is different. The text say yes, but the x says no.
This is perilously close to the mental illness that results in hoarding behavior.

A friend of my mom's saved every bank statement, utility bill, and cancelled check (this was when you actually got your cancelled checks back from the bank every month).

She thought her kids "might be interested in looking at it" some day. Of course they weren't and when she died they threw it all in a dumpster.

Newspapers and books are one thing. Every random photo on your phone and piece of paper that comes through your home is quite another. Nobody is intersted in it. Throw it away.
100% this. A "knee pillow" has been life changing for me.

I picked up the practice originally after long hikes. It's amazing how much it helps with the soreness.

I just take a regular, commodity pillow and fold it in half. Any kind you can get at your local store works great!
Thanks, I'll try it as soon as I can.
I agree, it will take a lot of time and energy to sift through this data to find things of value. But on the other hand, it's not even a fraction of what would be necessary if the data was lost.

most people on the internet have never used plain text email, or usenet. A fair chunk of them have used reddit, where it actually does something.

What worked for me was having a separate room to work, and another room for life/fun. Once the work is done, the door on my office is shut, which causes my brain to context switch into relaxation. It's a fun way to employ the Doorway Effect.
I second totalZero. LOVED mine in the winter when I used to live up in the North East... nothing more comfy than to slip into a nice warm bed on a cold winter night (well, when I was single anyways lol). I've had a few different models from SunBeam, all with a timer built in to pre-heat and turn off. I found the build quality to be good, never had any issues.

>Cyclists have every legal right to be on the road as a car and if a shoulder lane isn’t safe enough to cycle on then it’s safest

How many man hours are wasted by cyclists who take up the road and drive at half or less the speed limit? Isn't that sort of selfish, asshole behavior? Why should their desire to exercise in public supercede that of everyday people trying to go about their lives? Sure, it may only be a couple of minutes of inconvenience for the driver stuck behind a bicyclist, but collectively there is a significant externalized cost and I think people have every right to be infuriated by the selfishness.

When you hit your 40s you'll start wondering why you wasted all your time for no benefit to you.

You might. Or you might look at your bank account, and the house, and the kid's private school, and the paid-off medical bills, the charitable donations you've done and will do, and the diversified portfolio which is paying cashflow so you and your kids don't have to work again (but still want to).

For most people within 2 sigmas, don't work a minute more than you're paid. But for those who believe success and knowledge compounds f(time); consider turning the knob towards (but not all the way) towards work side of work:life balance.
The mindset is basically: Programming is hard so we're going to block as many non-paying customers as possible to limit the blast radius when we inevitably fuck up. And inconvenience those paying users too, because we can't figure out how to mitigate DoS attacks at the edge. And then we'll give a talk at a Next.js conference or something.
Nothing magical, it's just the same as I was already buying for my head: a mid-range (~$50USD), standard-size, down pillow. I mostly buy them from Bed, Bath & Beyond but the nearby store closed I've used a variety of brands from other department stores over the years.
Maybe but... I think this has to do more with the arbitrary nature of deplatforming.

On the one hand you can have groups calling fir violence against another group and that is ignored, which is fine, but then another group engages in similar behavior and they get banned... which is not impartial. That’s a problem if you have received ideology.

Moreover, I think not silencing politicians is a good thing. Let all sides broadcast their ideas or platforms and let voters decide rather than an unaccountable private Corp.
> The groups argue the law, set to go into effect July 1, violates the First Amendment by compelling platforms to host speech they'd otherwise remove.

I'm not an expert on this by any means, but isn't this an admission that these companies act like publishers? Yet they have Section 230 protection?

How does that work? If they're removing legal content, you should be able to sue Twitter for content they leave up, right?

> I see these startups as legal pump-and-dump scams: they don't give a damn about the services they offer, their employees, or customers; their goal is to do anything to pump up the valuation, let the investors make their money back, and then they die, or get dumped onto the stock market, with the public being the patsy left holding the bag.

Yeah I largely see them the same way, but I can't think of a good way to penalize this behavior without adversely affecting something else. Startup pump and dumps are pretty terrible.
I do not like another Lastpass behaviour. If your laptop dies and you are logged into web extension, upon re-starting the browser session Lastpass straight away asks you for 2FA without asking for master password. On top, if you do not login into that 2FA instance but keep the tab open it keeps the session alive for infinite time and if your laptop dies again upon re-start you will now have 2 lastpass 2FA windows open. And so on. It will let you log you in through one of the 2FA tabs, until you change focus to the other 2FA tab then your lastpass will be logged out until you login again through tab in focus.
