Even if you're a hardcore libertarian, you have to be somewhat pragmatic here. The freedom to do whatever the fuck you want is nice, but being able to board a flight without fearing that it could be endangered by any random fuckwit who doesn't know what they're doing is a bit nicer. While it's not that hard to cobble together some electronics that would have the same effect, this is about limiting it happening because some idiots flipped the wrong switch, or making it just hard enough to stop most evildoers who would do it on purpose from actually doing it.

The thunderbolt issues follow to the Intel based machines too, not just M1. Hellacious issues if you need to hot unplug a thunderbolt display and take a laptop somewhere; something about USBC not picking back up the thunderbolt assignments when reconnected. The display functions/reasserts itself, but none of the peripheral ports function until after the OS restarts. From this state, if I wake up the device twice from sleep with a Bluetooth mouse the OS will immediately reboot on the second wakeup(kernel panic message).

After reboot the tbolt display functions until the next hot unplug. Rinse, repeat.

All first party gear.

Just teach them to say please to Alexa et Al. Much easier and generally better to be polite when you don't need to be, than to be impolite when you're supposed to be, by mistake.
> An honest list of drawbacks

I appreciate putting up a list like this. That said, I want to comment on one of the listed drawbacks:

> Occasionally, obscure email servers will block emails sent through us

I have a few years of experience running my own email server and I can tell you this is a major pain in the ass. When you send your email via a small email server (a server that sends a low volume of email), you will have constant issues getting mail delivered. Also, most of the issues will not be with obscure email servers, they will be with Outlook and Gmail. When you send email, you will never know if your email will be delivered to inbox, delivered to spam folder, or blackholed entirely.

Related:

> We're not a suitable platform for sending marketing emails (although you should use a dedicated marketing platform anyway).

Please explicitly ban people from using your platform to send "marketing email". Clients like that are going to ruin deliverability for your other clients.
It could be as simple as "Hey Amazon Echo, respond to 'Alexa' from now on." during setup. For Amazon, the goal is to build a brand with "Alexa" ("Alexa" is more recognizable than "Echo" to most people — which is what resulted in jokes coincidentally): requiring users to name their software assistant would not have ruined the experience for anyone.

I don't have a smart speaker in my home, but personally I wouldn't care what the name is if I treated it as a "robot" as long as it flows off the tongue well. "Hey Q, start vacuuming" is perfectly fine to me.

The best way to empathize is to imagine if it was your name given as the wake word for the product. To imagine the confusion and how quickly it gets old, you can also imagine it was "Nick".
The lab leak hypothesis was seen as fringe just 4 months ago.

The problem with what you're saying is that you're setting yourself up as an arbiter of reason, or sanity, or safety in the realm of ideas. This is a fine aspiration, but you can clearly see that not all, or even many, will accept your analysis.

So you go into problem solving mode - and end up with government, or trust and safety boards, or religion, or any of the myriad of communities humans develop to corral the marketplace of ideas.

All of those systems suffer from humanity's profound fallibility and until that stops being the case, actually talking out all issues will be the only reasonable method of handling freedom of speech.

Some limits are obvious, but because human fallibility is so profound, we should be equally as profound in allowing ambiguous ideas the space to be understood and charity in interpretation. To do otherwise is embracing ignorance and folly.

I think visual programming tools are great when they are aimed at a specific domain. but not when they try to do too much. While Scratch is great for teaching kids to code, trying to come up with a visual replacement for C++ is almost certainly a bad idea.

Also it is possible to blend the two approaches. For example by allowing users to script some of the boxes in a text based language. This is the approach I have taken with my own visual-based data wrangling tool. The standard transforms cover 95% of cases people need (re-order columns, pivot, filter etc) and you can script a Javascript transform for anything else.

TX SDR is already illegal, unless you have the appropriate license. If you don't stop the sale of cheap illegal transmission devices, there will be millions of instance of illegal transmission, most unintentional, which would make enforcement impossible and ruin the spectrum.
Yea, they say as much in the data privacy FAQ. I think my recommendation is that if you're worried about being explicitly targeted by state actors, don't use email. (Not even Protonmail.)

If you're worried about general data hoovering, AWS would probably need to implement very sophisticated introspection into what your machines are doing to break the SSL on SMTPS, and courts might not be sympathetic to that. I expect state actors would find it easier and more convenient to just hoover from big providers like Gmail instead.

GitHub issues like this one warm my heart:

https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/issues/91

Identifying something that needs doing, especially when you have no idea how to do it, is a bold skill.

Too often have I seen engineers be reluctant to open an issue because they don’t know how to implement it, technically. I still do it, myself. If you need it then you’ll find a way.

The converse is also true: losing focus by filing tasks and procrastinating on features because you know how to build them, not because you actually need them to move your business / project forward.

Thinking about California drought problem and what scale of investment would it be needed to fix it.
I think it goes much further than that, and it is the employers to blame. A person should be able to speak their mind politely and non-threatening, without fear of losing their job, or their safety threatened. Unfortunately it is the employers that are bullied into believing that to keep that employee, for example, who said that the arson and fires of Kenosha were absolutely wrong, might somehow jeopardize the entire company or their safety. [a] Consequently they cave to this paranoia, or perhaps fear of violence, and fire the person.

I think it’s abhorrent, cowardly, and companies should be held liable for doing so.

Eventually we are going to reach some point where companies start to fear lawyers and civil judgements more than they fear the Internet mob. Once a company has to shell out millions for improperly dismissing an employee Because they exercised a nonviolent freedom of speech outside of the workplace, then perhaps they will grow a spine.

Yeah, so the problem is that the units of a function applied to a value is not necessarily the same as the value. Consider the area of a square. It has one argument whose unit is of length type. But, the function returns something of area type - totally fine.

If you want to talk about e^(x) then you're totally free to do that but, you're right: if x is not dimensionless then the expression has no physical meaning (as little meaning as one meter added to one second, as an example of another clearly nonsensical physical function).

In Physics, your starting point always makes sense dimensionally (F=m*a, E=m*g*h) and the game is to combine expressions that make dimensional (and physical) sense to glean insight into how different physical constraints of the system are related.

If you have any Physics problem where you end up with e^(x) or sin(x) and x is not dimensionless then it's a dead giveaway that you performed an algebraic misstep at some point when playing the game.

So, in short, you can propose a lot of functions that make no sense from a physical standpoint, but you won't arrive at those if you're working from first principles which are, by nature, dimensionally consistent.

This is essentially a solar still that uses the natural water cycle to produce fresh water.

Learning about desalinization should be taught in all schools for more innovations in this area.

It would be a cosmic joke to run out of water on a water planet, we'd look like universal dunces.

USGS site has a great overview of desalinization that is a good place to start, you can even try your own solar still in your backyard.

USGS Desalination site [1]

Build your own backyard desalinization system (solar still) [2]

> You can make your own personal desalination plant

> Remember looking at the picture at the top of this page of a floating solar still [3]? The same process that drives that device can also be applied if you find yourself in the desert in need of a drink of water.

> The low-tech approach to accomplish this is to construct a "solar still" which uses heat from the sun to run a distillation process to cause dew to form on something like plastic sheeting. The diagram to the right illustrates this. [2] Using seawater or plant material in the body of the distiller creates humid air, which, because of the enclosure created by the plastic sheet, is warmed by the sun. The humid air condenses water droplets on the underside of the plastic sheet, and because of surface tension, the water drops stick to the sheet and move downward into a trough, from which it can be consumed.

> You can try this at home! [2]

> - Dig a pit in the ground

> - Place a bowl at the bottom of the pit that will be used to catch the condensed water

> - Cover the pit loosley with a plastic sheet (you can use stones or other heavy objects to hold it in place over the pit

> - Be sure that the lowest part of the plastic sheet hovers directly over the bowl

> - Leave your water "trap" overnight and water can be collected from the bowl in the morning

We need to put tons of money in desalinization. California is already a leader in that but we need more. Israel and Saudi Arabia are also pretty good at desalinization due to more dire water situations.

Additionally we need geoengineering in terms of helping create moisture/rain in areas that feed the Colorado.

The better bet is desalinization that uses the nature water cycle, it makes for cleaner water as well. Saudi Arabia is doing a solar dome to test this [4], we need more of this.

> you should let it work only if it received the normal level of human empathy in communication.

Empathy for things without feelings isn't possible at all. Being polite isn't equivalent to empathy.

It is often mistaken though. An American once told be the common stereotype of Canadians is wrong. They aren't nice, they are just polite. A joke of course, but I think we are responsible adults.

I wonder how many people named Alexa now go by Alex. It should be enough to stop the teasing and both are fine names but it must still be a little onerous to change one's name for this reason.
Not exactly. Sure, if your email is compromised someone could access the secret link, and ultimately your password.
But now, you will know that someone else had access to your password, since the link won't work for you anymore. This is crucial information.

Btw. You can encrypt your secret with an optional password (which may be shared via a different channel).
Hi Vhanda,
Sorry details aren't clear on our Privacy Policy, Privacy is super important to me. It's one of the reasons I built Searchramen as I wanted people to have a set of tools built from their own data rather than scraped/clickstream data.

WE DO NOT USE cookies or collect private information so you do not need a cookie banner on your website to use our plugin. You can check this inside chrome by going to developers -> Application -> Cookies. You'll see that there is no cookie loaded after installing our script.

Also our plugin is third party pen tested and certified by an outsider for security, if your interested and want to see the code just look at the javascript. It's only 28 lines of code and public so hopefully it helps with the confidence angle. It is also installed on some pretty big websites right now (1Million+ pages views per month)

> Clicking on Website metrics

I see what you mean. Yeah I agree, it's a bit time consuming to click the website each time. When I built it I had quite a few websites in one account so it seemed like a better layout. i'm planning to rework the nav slightly so will test selecting the website first and then having each section use that website rather than having to select it each time.

> It would be nice if it could explain why the small plan is not applicable. I'm fairly certain I have less than 100 pages, maybe even less than 20.

Pricing is a combination of keywords and pages. So even though you have less than 100 pages you have quite a few keywords which is expensive for storage fees each month. I'd love to be able to sell it for 4.99 but these storage costs add up and 1500 keywords by 3 positions synced with 1 year of search data is quite a bit of data so I wouldn't be making enough money to improve the product.

Thanks for the feedback. Much Appreciated.
There were many article in the media around 2012, I think this article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3499858/ started the discussion. It is short and not a study, but it has statements with links, like this:

> Eager and Little describe a risk deprived child as more prone to problems such as obesity, mental health concerns, lack of independence, and a decrease in learning, perception and judgment skills, created when risk is removed from play and restrictions are too high.
I don't know if it's always spam, but it's up the same creek as trying to brute-force your way into someone's heart.
I mean compared to other languages these sorts of quirks might seem like big deals, but they rarely come up. You see that error, you copy paste and find a stack overflow thread explaining it, you know what to do next time and move on. R is certainly no C.

I remember similar instances as a kid and they often ended up in fights.
I wonder if there is a correlation between bullying and kids fighting.

I remember very few instances of bullying back in my times and every time it happened, either the target stood up for themselves or someone else did. I got my nose broken once defending someone and that was nothing rare.

If you made fun of someone you were similarly risking a right on your face. At the same time, if you reacted to verbal bullying, you showed a weakness, you showed you care.

I think these two factors worked together to limit bullying. Once we taught kids not to fight anymore, the balance got broken and bullying surged.

Most of the jokes I received were racially motivated, as one of the few black kids around; at the same time I definitely made jokes that implied people being gay without them wanting to admit that.
I'm sure that caused a lot of hurt and that all of this would be enough to call the Twitter woke police nowadays.

And yet, I feel the environment in schools was much much healthier back then.

Would it be possible to re-green deserts with this technology? Does anyone know of any studies on using this technology to combat climate change?
Funny that article author needed to use fake names for parents, when article is about fake person with real name and actual children that change their names.

Generally I don't find this worth anyone's attention. A better investment would be to fight bullying in general and to improve school's response, than to throw fits over each namespace collision.
Saying please to a device is no effort and always saying please is a better habit to learn than the alternative of forgetting to say please when speaking to a person.

Imagine being upset that someone suggests you say please to Alexa.
But we do have a use case for this where the UI has to be scaled up by a total different group of people who are domain experts. Without such abstraction to generate the UI, the velocity will be terrible with a small UI front-end team. I think this makes sense when you have a need to allow pluggable UI components for something that is domain specific, with rather stable interface and has to be scaled up by non-Frontend folks
