Yes, but reality is muddy and people affect each other. Look at the rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide, and see how well they correlate with the liberalization of American culture since 2012. Look at the declining rates of sex in our youth, the number of school shootings, the rise of populist politicians... If a generic goal of diversity and avoiding hurt feelings was what our country truly needed then our country would be better than ever, but its not.

You are obviously right when you look at the far right. Complete oppression is a bad thing. But swinging to the other extreme and saying that no ways of life are better than others causes social instability too.

Whether it should be government's job to do that is another matter.. I'd much prefer that our society handles such social pressures itself, though such social feedback systems seem to have broken down.
Don’t agree with this writeup at all. It seems like writeups comparing life and chess are heavily biased towards the strategic concepts, when in reality playing the game well is heavily based on grasping tactical concepts, recognizing a certain amount patterns and being able to apply them under pressure. Strategy starts mattering only way later, and is still completely dependent on you not letting the other player catch you with your pants down because of a pattern that slipped your mind.

I’d go as far as to say that applying the opposite of what the writer is implying is more beneficial in most circumstances. Instead of viewing running a business as a contest between businesses for Scarce Resource X and Y, it’s probably better to view running a business as a contest of managing the scarce resources within the company itself: Capital, time, amount of great people working with you, etc. Although, even that sells the challenges of running a good business short.

The better you get at chess, the more it can feel like you’re trying to grind water out of stone, but persisting until you notice you’ve progressed after a year. I think that comes closer to the day-to-day experience of running a business.

P.S. This is the best article I've read about chess and life: https://aeon.co/essays/playing-chess-is-an-essential-life-le...

She looks tough in the photo from the article, but I remember back when she was arrested she looked so young and innocent [1]. I wonder how prison has changed/traumatized her. Her sentence always seemed a little excessive to me.

You're right but it all depends on what number you choose to expose (the games I've played that show Discord member count in-game usually show online count). As an example of a niche server I just saw one that is only about trading stuff in Animal Crossing: New Horizons but it still had 100k online with 500k in total.
I mean, they do, in the sense that they give a stronger and more secure connection to the pedals which lets riders commit more power.

This is relative to casual toe clips or flats. Compared to old school clips + tightly fastened straps with dedicated shoes they aren’t a huge difference performance wise but no one rides those any more because they’re much more dangerous and much less convenient.

> Only depicting homogeneous societies furthers ignorance and demonization of people who are different.

I think you're arguing against a straw man. It seems pretty clear that no one is arguing for less diversity, but rather against diversity for its own sake or prioritizing it above all other concerns.

I've spent a lot of time with 28mm tires, but I'm absolutely in love with my 38mm GravelKing slicks. I don't really notice much speed difference (if any), and the comfort level makes up for it if there is. I ride for fitness, so I'm happy.

More details in my other comment (I actually ride a gravel bike so I have the extra clearance for big fat tires if I need).
At the risk of mis-stating the hypothesis, the book is more about the active coupling or entrainment of bio-rhythms between individuals as what 'love' is. That we are able to regulate the bio-rhythms of others with our own, and we do so when we feel 'close' to those people in some way or other.
Hey Patrick,

> As a philosophical matter, we consider ourselves to serve the business, which means that limiting access to what we consider to be the business's own information feels a bit strange.

Maybe I'm wrong , but once a customer upload the document on Stripe Identity they are supposed to be YOUR documents.

I worked in Bank as a Service , fundamentally when a customer goes through a verification process , the documents uploaded are not the owned by the partner using our APIs. They are owned by us , the Bank.

For Stripe Identity the same should have apply. Here the goal is not "Lock the Partner" but rather to protect them.

Now that discord has access to my Passport , in case of an identity theft could you tell me EXACTLY whose liable for the leak in regards to the law ?

With BaaS it's pretty clear , the Bank carry the responsibility to keep those documents safe , thus it's safer to not give access to a basic business to the raw details.

With the current API design you are offering, it's more ambigous and more prone very large leak within a business information system like Discord or Uber etc..

Those leak will happen.
And of course if you ask them for the source of their ridiculous claims they'll either link propaganda sites like Telesur or RT, or go off in rambling about how the CIA did something like that in the 60's forgetting to source anything

And now that it's honestly approached as a potential issue, you can talk about the tradeoffs involved here. I haven't followed those projects closely so correct me if I'm wrong, but Babashka is an interpreter that implements a "substantial subset" of Clojure, right? GraalVM seems amazing, but it also is not a guaranteed seamless experience, either (no eval, partial support for reflection).
It also depends on what you are learning. I'm sure a junior engineer would get by just fine if all they had to do was learn a language, but if you have to look at a 10-year-old system where only senior co-workers know the context for, I wouldn't blame them for needing some hand-holding.

Love that, instead of say paying her a small stipend, the state decided that all it needed to do was have her sign away her only means for obtaining a decent wage. Apparently no one in power believed public health was worth more than $50 a month.

We truly have learned little as a society about how to deal with infectious disease on a wide scale. Today, several state governors are opting out of federal unemployment protection in an effort to force people back into labor that doesn't value their health and safety or pay enough to live decently[1].

In my opinion if you want to break out of echo chambers, you'd better read books, not news. I don't mean books written on occasion by the same people who write opinion columns and blog posts - rather great books that go deeper in how things work.

Among the modern writings, Arendt's Human Condition was a real eye opener for me. I hope to find more modern book of such quality of thought, but older ones by classic philosophers don't lose their relevance either.

Yes, you cannot really compare tear gas with chlorine.

One gives you trouble breathing and is used widely against civilian demonstrants, because it is very mild - the other one - the one the german army was first to use - kills or cripples your loungs in a horrible way.

But I rather leave this debate.

P.s. I tasted some tear gas, it is certainly not nice. But thats it. It doesn't actually harm you, unless you have a precondition. Chlorine on the other hand is just pure deadly poison
Narrow tires also require higher pressure with a
less comfortable ride. Bigger riders, Clydesdales, require more pressure. These rock hard tire inflations are then more prone to snake bite flats. As the discussion section in the article points out, wider tires used to be common. I think we're rediscovering why.

This is shockingly unintuitive if you mean compared to flats. The theory is that the force you use pulling up will always have a reduction in the force you use pushing down?

Huh. I had never heard anyone say that, per se.

For my part, I like clipless pedals because they ensure that my feet are positioned optimally, which reduces fatigue and strain on my joints. Which, in turn, probably does mean I can maintain a faster pace for longer, but it's not like I've ever timed myself.

Back when I was mountain biking, I also liked them for better control over the bike, and easier mount/dismount than toe clips.

As a Tesla owner, I’ve slowly come to realize that most complaints about Teslas online don’t reflect the reality of driving one. I was skeptical of all the things people are complaining about here, but I decided to take advantage of the seven day return policy and drive a Mode 3 for a week: I discovered that nearly every control I care about is controlled by one of two sticks or two little thumb wheels and I almost never have to interact with the screen while driving. Similarly, as others note here, the subscription is for the cell connectivity and media packages, not for the “car’s firmware”. Finally, as a software developer, I really appreciate that Tesla has made updating my car’s firmware trivial and they actually ship firmware updates to older cars: there’s much less difference between a 2018 Tesla and a 2021 Tesla than between similarly spaced cars from other manufacturers.

I was a life long flat pedal rider.

Started working at a bike shop during college and one of the first things roadies told me was they are indeed much more efficient because you can push AND pull on your pedals - generating a lot more power and making the ability to sustain that power a lot easier.

> this is a case of two FOSS communities with irreconcilable differences

If the HA community's stance goes on to be made official (for now it's informal forum posts, albeit from senior maintainers), I would argue this is then a case of one FOSS community (Nix) having irreconcilable differences with the community of a proprietary software project falsely advertised as FOSS.
The problem is that companies evolve, ethics change, but the data and vendor lock-in remains.

In cycling, clipless = clipped in, which is of course confusing - I think the GP is referring to the same thing as you are.

Clipped pedals refer to pedals with toe straps. Clipless are pedals without a strap, but you clip into. And flat are ones you just rest your feet on.
Sounds like the media really wants people to forget about Gamestop. Shorts must cover eventually. Buy and hold.
From what I've read, although I can't remember the source, the difference doesn't really matter on flat surfaces, but clipless perform far better on inclines. I believe this has to do with the angle of the stroke relative to gravity causing some efficiency loss without a clip.

wider tires also let you run lower pressures, which puts you more in the comfort zone of being able to convert to tubeless. not every rim/tire combination works with tubeless, but if you are able to pull it off, it's among my personal top 5 list of cycling innovations of the past 30 years.

I really hate grouping everyone like this. I consider myself left but you were arguing with a moron. I was under the impression in liberal democracy, even up until maybe 2015 treating an individual as an example of all individuals from that group was considered reprehensible for obvious reasons, i.e. you will end up saying racist or sexist things. The more general rule, to treat everyone on the content of their individual character, is an important one in my upbringing and I would like a return to these values. Currently everyone is being forced, on left or right, to have it assumed that they occupy absurd extremist positions. I do admit these people are on the rise, but I’m not sure inflating their importance (they are seeking attention in a lot of cases) is helping.
300K is on the lower end of salaries, esp. over 8 years. This is also just run-of-the-mill individual contributors that got in very late. Early employees, senior/leads/managers/directors/vp will make substantially more.

You're also assuming they did nothing with their earnings over those 8 years - when in reality most are invested in the markets which have killed it over the last decade.

It still disables parallelism. No changes there. If you have anneasily reproducible benchmark on a public corpus, I could try to provide an analysis. (Note: if the corpus is small enough, it might not be possible to witness a perf difference. Or it may even be possible that using parallelism is slower due to the overhead of spinning up threads.)

> And how can 4 "centrist" sources be "very biased"? Isn't it literally the opposite?

No, centrism isn’t the opposite of bias.

Is home-assistant packaged in any traditional distro like Debian or Fedora? I didn't think so.

Considering that you can pickup free portable chargers at trade shows, they must cost next to nothing to source. The LED adds a little bit more to the price but again not much. The whole package is very cheap wholesale and can probably be marked with whatever brand you want if you ask an Alibaba vendor. The $20 comes into play when it reaches the store. The store has already bought them from some company that bought them from China so there's already a slight markup there and then the store adds a little more. They know people will buy them and depending on what kind of store it is, can charge a little more if they know their customers well. A Walmart-like store isn't going to be able to sell them for too much above cost but a specialty bike shop can mark them up more since their customers are already spending higher prices. A specialty bike shop might even order them with custom branding, adding a little more to the final price.

As for something like the Ikea bulb in the article, it includes an RF module that isn't that cheap. It costs about $7 per 1000 pieces. Maybe they get it for $5 or $6. Add in the slightly more expensive housing, it look like a halogen bulb but is LED, and then add in the cost of a quality RBG LED and the rest of the components and markup to get $15. Ikea does win out compared to other store for things like this because Ikea is buying the units from themself. The Ikea Sonos speaker is the only thing I've ever seen there that wasn't a pure Ikea product. They really have mastered horizontal and vertical integration.
Do not use a Google Workspace account for personal use. Just get a Gmail account. There’s far too many restrictions and caveats that they’ve manufactured in the past few years (for no good reason).

Google put me in lose-lose position. Don’t put yourself in one.
