I find written communication - big email chains the worst for fleshing out ideas. Or even resolving bugs and problems.

Written communication is great once everything is known and understood: this is documentation and is very important
I think it comes down to emitted light vs reflected light.

If you're looking into an LCD panel and the light it's emitting is not adjusted to match the environment you're in, too bright or too dull, then you will strain your eyes.

With an e-ink screen, anything printed, or even a cinema screen, it doesn't usually emit light and therefore relies on the light emitted from other things around you to reflect off of the surface, illuminating the surface of the thing you're looking at. This is more natural and provides less strain on your eyes.

On a personal preference side of things, I can't look at bright sources in the evening. My wife is a terror for looking at her phone at 100% brightness, it's blinding if she hands it to me to look at. Where as my devices are setup to dim and be as low as possible in the evening, even the profile on the TV.

I'm sure NYT and Bitdefender both have "the contract auto-renews unless explicitly cancelled" in their terms. The only place NYT allows you to cancel online is California, because of relatively recent regulation. Elsewhere you need to contact their retention department.

I'm really not seeing the difference between their actions.

In my limited anecdotal experience, it _is_ directly related.
As someone left-leaning, I've always tried to be understanding and compassionate towards those with differing viewpoints. When Trump was campaigning, although I loath the man (and, to be clear, I believe he's outright evil), I did try to understand the viewpoint of "forgotten America" and see them as people whose frustrations are legitimate.

But then Trump tried to overturn the presidential election by attempting to have millions of votes thrown out unceremoniously, without a shred of evidence, with a constantly shifting story. This constitutes no less than an attempted coup. Although some people in the Republican party resisted this, in the end, the party decided not to purge Trump and his supporters (which would be the appropriate response to an attempted coup), and a sizeable portion of the party still publicly stands by him. At the same time, they are openly courting white supremacist militias and conspiracy theorists.

There are no other words for this: this is evil. Continued support for the Republican party is evil, as long as they have not purged Trumpism from the party.

ROTFL. Yes. And I went there TWICE. And a f... drunken Viking broke my tent each time.

Second time, there was a guy leaving, left his tent behind. I run after him and asked him if I can have his tent, since mine was broken. He said sure. But even better he told me. There is a second, unused tent in the tent. This is what I call a professional. A guy with a backup plan.

I think that’s subjective. Worse that the old *20 and older keyboard? Yep. Worse than the current chiclet keyboard? No.
As a former subscriber I can point this out:
One gigantic error: they have not seen the 2007/2008 crisis coming.
Their policy recommendations are always the same: "cut red tape", privatize, remove tariffs..., and this mirrors their ideological beliefs, not any hard won expertise.
They are also in denial about the unfolding ecological crisis.
Look also at their job ads to understand with whom they are aligned.
In sum, The Economist is a propaganda paper, that is well written, informative even if you can remove their rather obvious slant.

Dell XPS 15 Height: 0.71" (1.8 cm) | 2. Width: 13.57" (344.72 mm) | 3. Depth: 9.06" (230.14 mm) | 4. Starting Weight*: 4 lbs. (1.83 kg) for non-touch with 56Whr battery

Size and weight wise they are in a similar category.

“make barely no noise when compiling hundred of thousand LoCs” - I haven’t got XPS15 but got MacBook Pro 16 with Intel Chip(2020 model) but whenever my browser is open and I do code compilation my MacBook absolutely makes noise.

Would you say this is a fair comparison?
meh, it's about balance and knowing what communication medium to use for a specific topic.

great teams don't just use one communication method, they adapt to the situation and people.

For deeply technical topics where there are a ton of specific details, yes - use writing.

For more free form topics - one on ones, retros, brainstorming, high level planning, calls or video chat may work better. It depends on what the people involved want.

No communication tool is perfect, use the ones that are right for the topic at hand.
There has been evidence of reduced transmission for months, again you are not engaging in an honest evaluation of the evidence.

Most governments actually haven't followed the most obvious path in much of anything to do with this virus, that has been the source of most of the ruin.

Communicating efficiently does not mean “ignoring the humanity of employees”. These are not exclusive.

You’ll often see “big important emails” by Jobs, Zuckerberg and other figures being circled around. These use written word for a reason. It’s like the difference in podcasts vs books - would you want to study philosophy solely via podcasts? Would be extremely draining. Complex subjects require structure and slow thinking.

Interesting that the OP makes a similar point (“a world of text would feel very lonely”). Why do you feel like going to the other extreme?

I love the eventual video meeting with teammates for planning, discussing company matters or a simple coffee break. But staring at each other during a standup or trying to figure out some product specs or analytics code does nothing to “build rapport” and just wasted everybody’s time.
There's a lot of people - mostly in management, marketing, etc - that seem to kinda suck at touch typing and much prefer a quick call because (for them) things move a lot faster then.
Or they're worried things said in private would leak. If there's a large cost to saying something publicly, the risk carries over to saying it privately too.

Bubblewrap is an interesting idea. It's also pretty robust and even if you get a puncture, you just affect one bubble. At the end of the day, I'm not really that interested in a lot of hardcore ultralight although my gear, for those occasions when I use it, is pretty light.
I specifically did not name XPS 13 2-in-1 for many reasons: issues, concerns. Also XPS 13 is NOT hardware wise simular to XPS 15, which I was referring to above
You might be able to get around that by being highly responsive to new issues/tickets. Immediately email or phone the person to say you got it. They're likely using a meeting to force you to acknowledge their issue because otherwise it could or will go unnoticed.
It unfortunately still hasn't penetrated into the most old school ones, apparently. Whatever you are talking about anyway.
I do occasionally send a copy of some articles from Pocket to my Kindle and read it. But not all and the pile keeps growing.
Written is more of a "I did this, you do that", not a "What should I do" or "let's discuss what we should do".

I do a lot of writing, but it's mostly brainstorming and documenting things to myself and maybe myself or my colleagues a few years down the line.
Yes, but stock manipulation, as bad as it gets, is not what enabled the emissions scandal. The actions under charges are the outcome of the already uncovered scandal. The emissions scandal was uncovered in September 2015. Diess joined VW from BMW in December 2014.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Diess: "Shareholders were withheld from being informed about the huge financial implications due to the falsified diesel emissions. The scandal then gained media attention which highlights German law. German law requires top executives to inform shareholders about significant financial risks and issues."
I guess you could look at which orders were unfilled and how quickly they were filled at lower or higher prices.

First consider: Inflation occurs when supply of dollars exceeds demand for dollars.

Demand comes mostly from investment. Taxes try to exert a direct effect on supply and demand, but they also exert a massively negative effect on private activity. I think, at this point, the negative effect is far greater. They’re complicated and expensive, and ineffective at collecting from the benefactors of the spending activity. Even 100% taxes would be catastrophically inflationary because there would be no private investment demand to absorb new money creation. So we have to consider the possibility that forcible tax collection is just ineffective, inefficient, and obsolete.

Also consider that there is now global competition, maybe even supranational, for choice of economic systems to participate in. Efficiency and value of governance will be paramount.

But it is absolutely very opinionated- entirely oriented around hand-writing use cases, specifically those that involve being away from power and network. So its power budget is low and it has amazingly robust synchronization.

Probably because reverse-engineering it is less effort than rewriting all the clients that Apple has already written.
Most neurodivergent (not just autism, attention deficit too) people really appreciate options that do not include synchronous communication, especially for a prolonged period. I'm not saying it doesn't have a place, but you need to also consider that it is a serious disadvantage for some.

I'm pretty happy we're having a shift where a lot more companies will be offering remote work too now. I don't thrive in offices. I usually try to find empty meeting rooms so I can actually get things done. Similarly, I hate meetings. Especially the kind that could've been an email or requires only minor involvement for me. I don't have enough of an attention span to keep listening to information that is not relevant to me or my job.

Having to sit in a Google Meet / Teams call for the last few months all day has not been great for my mental health either (aside from the fact that Google Meet sometimes emits random noise).
> It is because of a deep misconception, which, paradoxically, originated within my own field, theoretical physics. The misconception is that once you have specified everything that exists in the physical world and what happens to it—all the actual stuff—then you have explained everything that can be explained.

I find this hilarious. Mostly because theres a surprise factor involved. Who else was a late teen or older during the Bush Jr gas spikes? What happened to the price of everything that had to travel on a road or track? I mean, it really pissed me the fuck off how the media and lots of idiots here were arguing a year or two ago when gas was low, "well you know, when gas prices are too low, it's bad for the economy". STFU. To me, everyone is reaping what they sowed on this one. Fine, kill all future oil dev. I get it. I agree actually (well more to a phase out actually rather than abrupt cut so we can avoid this situation). At the same time, nothing is free. The price of oil will go up, which is what you technically wanted. The price of transpo goes up. The price of goods goes up (especially plastics and other petrol products). The purchasing power of the middle to lower class goes down. Happens each and every single time and everyone with an econ PhD on the news, "OMG this was unforseeable". The ability for the masses to transition to EV goes down too. Which slows that whole plan down as well. Hey, at least we'll get another housing bubble hopefully. Investors and retail investors will try using real estate to keep up with inflation. They'll keep flipping houses until no one can afford them, then it collapses. Hopefully I'll be in a prime spot to pounce on it. Keep pumping up those gas prices people. Once enough investors see oil as a good investment again, $150 a barrel will look like a wetdream.
There's a potential wrinkle to these stats in the US. The "cash for clunkers" program, obstinately a boon for fuel efficiency, or a giveaway to auto manufacturers, depending on how you look at it, took a massive number of used cars off the road.

Higher reliability and the pandemic definitely have something to do with it. But so does the long slow recovery of the used car market after something like a million perfectly good cars were destroyed.

Less new vehicles are being purchased because there's ample supply of serviceable post-clunkers used ones
If you really want to simulate reflected light you also have to be able to control the angle of the light that you emit, and you want to absorb incoming light almost completely otherwise there'll be a conflict (glare, in particular).

I suspect that it might be easier to improve reflective displays, but I have no expertise in this field so maybe I'm completely wrong about that.
I think the author is just referring to writing heart-felt letters or well-thought-out business correspondence. People en masse don’t know how to communicate these days because of the instant gratification of snaps and DMs and yadda-yadda.

We don’t know how to read either because we skim the internet’s garbage, sifting through ads to get to the meaning of a blog entry, only to think we understand it but… what if we skimmed over it??

Communication and social interaction have been junk-food-ized just like everything else mass produced, and supplied in abundance.

Then again, the author’s post didn’t exactly communicate that well—this is just my interpretation :)
What? Zoom is miles better than Skype or Vidyo or WebEx or whatever the fuck else I'd had to use before Zoom. Zoom is the absolute BEST meeting software that I've ever used. Setting up meetings is a cinch, sharing the meeting links is no bother, it syncs up with your calendar, screensharing is easy, annotating is available, it even has built in polling.

I get that they're a shady as shit company with perhaps very little respect for your privacy, but their video calling UI is best in class. No one I talk with (not the most tech savvy bunch) has any trouble with "I don't hear you!" type rubbish anymore.

If we wanted to reach the same physique she would need to take a lot of PEDs. My point was poorly articulated - in reality if men and women train the same they will end up with different physiques based on the chemical make ups in the body. However if men and women want to “be strong” they should train the same, if they want to “run fast” train the same, “be lean and muscley” train the same. The idea that men and women should train differently (women do cardio and men do weights) is the biggest disservice that the fitness industry has done for the health of both groups. I guess that is what I think of when I hear “the sexes should train differently”

That's only possible when you talk without a clear outline/plan and don't use the search feature.

Basically if you use text like you'd use speaking/verbal communication.

Otherwise, text is superior for fleshing out ideas. Nothing gets lost, you can review everything later and address every single point.

Just my experience.
Boox Note Air does through Bluetooth or USB C. It just runs Android so you can pretty much do whatever. It's literally an Android Tablet with an eInk screen.

It very much is, and has been for a while: Google completely dominates all of web-related standards bodies. And the specs that are rushed to completion in Chrome are more likely than not to be fully authored by Googlers only (sometimes with egregious disregard for standards work, see WebHID [1]).

Your comment ostensibly decries closed minded folks who want to hold back then web, but after reading it I’m simply left thinking that it’s you that is unreasonable and angry. There is no room for discussion under your words. You caricature the people who disagree with you as “angry men” and strawman their arguments in poor faith to being “angry…that the web has gotten better”. Quite frankly, this is a bad comment and it does not reflect well on you or the position you hold.

Lenders can sell qualifying mortgages to the Federal agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to offload their interest rate risk. When a bank intends to sell the mortgages it grants, it may become careless about credit risk -- this lead to the 2008 financial crisis.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I can't help but think that though the claims are a bit grandiose the fundamental thesis statement is true?

IE: Each generation sees a "simpler" toolset being made available which opens up programming to a wider audience.

If assembly was still the only way to program we would have fewer programmers, same with C, or dynamic languages. Javascript and the web opened up programming to a whole host of new people.

They're all code, but you can't tell me that an assembly program is the same as a python program for example.

I'm not trying to say that these newer ecosystems are better or worse exactly. Just that each new generation opens up this field to people who would have never picked it up beforehand and we as a society are richer for it.

We see more apps/tools developed to serve a wider array of people's preferences and use-cases. Sure there are new problems, but I like the direction we're going.
Perhaps there is an inverse correlation between those things.

Most of what you touch on is covered by semantic versioning. (https://semver.org), and IMO should be mandatory reading by anyone in software development.

It sort of looks like you are sort of aware of it, but maybe not entirely. What you called a minor version is typically called a "patch" version. So it goes. MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Major version bump can change anything. Minor versions are generally safe to upgrade, but will change the api in a backwards compatible way. Patch version updates make no change to the api.

One of the worst things to deal with is libraries for which maintainers have broken the semver contract.
