Well yeah, of course you don’t want to argue - you’re wrong. And every post you make, it gets worse. Your example again versus the definition you picked out:

> Censorship occurs when individuals or groups try to prevent[1] others from saying, printing, or depicting words and images.

The group being Stanford University the prevention from depicting words and images being the sign. It’s censorship, by definition.

Where the censorship happens is not my concern, it’s still censorship.

It could be a stubborn editor in a magazine who never lets a story he disagrees with get through. It could be the complete media silence on Hunter Biden’s China connections pre-election. Or it could be the White House telling Facebook which vaccine related posts to remove.

All censorship, just like your Stanford example. Not so much “deplatform” though. It’s much closer to an infringement on your human right to peacefully assemble than whatever normalized buzzword like deplatformed is being passed around lately.
Definitely look into the 83b (just make sure you do it right).

I have hold/tap set up on all my modifiers on my Iris[0]. I got the idea from the (modern) Space Cadet[1] keyboard. From inside to outside my thumb buttons are (when held) Command, no hold key, Option, and Hyper (where hyper means all 4 modifiers at the same time. On tap they all do things I use a lot: the command keys are Esc and Enter on left and right. The no-hold-keys (that my thumbs rest on) are backspace and space. The option keys are opening and closing braces. The hyper keys are opening and closing angle brackets, but since I don't do any JSX or Html any more I might make those square brackets. I have control keys just outboard of where my pinkies rest (where you'd normally find capslock and apostrophe) and those are, respectively, double quote and apostrophe on tap. Shift are in the normal place but on tap they are parentheses.

In other words: every key that has a hold behavior also has a tap behavior. Several keys with tap behaviors also have hold behaviors for switching layers: home row left hand keys change the right hand to arrows, numbers, or symbols.

That’s not a bad strategy—gentrify the potholes out of existence.
Yup, been using slack since 2015, first in the Web app and now in the "native" app and usability and speed have gone downhill in the past years. Focus problems after editing a message, wrong recommandations when typing /call, sluggish edit mode, sluggish recommandations window on /xxxx commands, wysiwyg editor first forced for everyone even though it was buggy, ctrl k getting slower and slower to switch between chats. That's the things in top of my head, I used to love the tool but not so much anymore.

When I was in Morocco, people started talking to me, and when I responded with customary friendliness, they tried to sell me something. It didn't take me long to perceive their friendliness as the disguised first line of a sales pitch. After a while I became a lot less keen to talk to friendly strangers.

I wouldn't blame the "change in social norms", but the people who poisoned the well by using compliments as a foot in the door.

> How would one set out to prove they were not vaccinated?

I suppose a blank vaccine card could be presented, but that assumes that an extra one can't be obtained.

OTOH, why would someone unvaccinated even have a vaccine card in the first place?

Hmm.

Perhaps opening your wallet or purse to demonstrate that you don't have a vaccine card could work, though one could just remove it prior to entering the restaurant, if one is forewarned. Which the sign does. Darn.

Nope, no getting around it. Restaurant patrons are simply going to have to publicly swear (as in raise-your-right-hand-and-repeat-after-me) that they haven't been vaccinated. It's the only way to be sure.

>Is there a specific reason I should care about the local commission meeting? I honestly care even less about local news than nation wide, which I don’t care about at all.

If you don't care about most of the decisions, and the people who make them, that directly impact your life, then no.

But if you care about the legal, civil and societal issues in your local area, like land use, taxes, local services, etc., you might have some interest.

Having answered your question, I'm starting to wonder if it was rhetorical or not. Not sure which I'd prefer it to be.

I decided from the beginning to only focus on COVID deaths, and maybe intubation rates. Everything other measure seemed too fuzzy and ripe for manipulation. Death is a pretty definitive finding.

But even this death metric is fraught with issues of “death from COVID” v. “death with COVID”. Deaths among the elderly are often ascribed to just “old age”…nobody cared about exact root causes until COVID came along. Most of the fatalities came from the “under-forensic-ed” elderly population and (I read somewhere…source needed) hospitals got increased financial compensation if a patient was coded as a COVID patient. Who is doing the forensics and what is their motivation? So even assigning a cause of death by COVID is a mess, but less than the mess of defining “COVID cases”.

Modulo the “cause of death” issue, fortunately, for COVID deaths, the CDC has a nice website that presents the relevant National and State data

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Ignore the silly “red +” over the data — just compare the deaths by week (in blue bars) to the expected deaths (as presented by the orange line).

(Any “statistically significant” overage gets a “red +” no matter how trivial the excess, so it distorts the essential trends. And the height of the “red +” over the data is the same no matter if it is one death over or 1000 deaths over the threshold for that week. Really questionable chart design veering into “lying with statistics” territory.)
Yeah I’ve been thinking about that a lot and I might just get rid of Core, at least where it’s not needed
> land is a pretty negligible cost.

Where for me rent is around 25% of revenue and would be more like 35% if I had to rent the acres I own. If you have the capital to buy your land, that's 35% of revenue you can realize as profit right there. The problem for the average Joe without capital is that if you are trying to rent or pay a mortgage, the profit diminishes very quickly. That is why it is pretty much impossible for regular people to enter the industry.

> A $100k annual profit is good for a $1M investment, but crappy for a $10M investment.

The growth in value of the business is most important, really. A $100k annual profit on a $10M investment is pretty good if the $10M investment is also worth $50M a decade later. That's what farmers bank on. Cashflow is necessary to keep things solvent, but not really why you're there.

It is no doubt one of those things that seems unsustainable, and funny things can indeed happy, but every decade I look back I kick myself for not investing more. At the end of the day it's pretty fun, though, so it's worth taking some risks just for the value of the enjoyment.
>forced upon them by outsiders.

And it's almost always the case. Peter the Great was concerned with Russia's military backwardness, lack of a navy in particular, while being in conflict with the Swedish Empire. The Japanese were forced to "modernize" by the American military ships. Turkey modernized after the dissolution of the Ottoman empire, i.e. after the tremendous losses to the European powers. Smaller modern states today are also pressured to participate in globalization in various ways. Also colonialism.

1. Don't keep social media, work email, or slack on your phone. Just have a browser, texting and phone. Resist apps.

2. Turn off all nearly all notifications

3. Treat it like a wired phone. Keep it in one room with the ringer on. Go to it if someone calls…

4. Aggressively use Do Not Disturb to limit times when you’re disturbed by calls/texts

5. Silence calls from people not in your contacts.

6. Read paper books. They have the added feature of being distraction free.

7. Learn to live without it. Go places without your phone. Even a walk or outing is a good break. You’ll learn you don’t need it.

8. Meditate to reduce the need to alleviate boredom and discomfort.

9. Camping and outdoor activities without a phone can be a great detox.

10. Look at situational reasons you are avoiding/hiding from via your phone.
This seems like a joke about how this wouldn't work, but, I think it worked for SpaceX and it can work a few more times.
This is an important point to consider. The agricultural studies I’ve seen typically apply 80% compost and 20% biochar to degraded soils because biochar is alkaline.

It can also be made less alkaline with better, more sophisticated production technologies (i.e., reactors) that minimize ash.

> Apple Fitness is the only fitness at home service that integrates with the Apple Watch.

Not true. I've personally worked on the Gymkit integration another very well known at-home service uses and they're not alone.

> Apple Music is the only streaming service that has lossless, high sample rate music and international radio stations.

That's a strange specific qualification... Like saying it's the only red car with exactly 23.4034 gallons of fuel in it in the parking lot.

By that logic Tidal is the only streaming service that has lossless, high sample rate music and supports MQA?

> Apple News is the only service providing "all you can eat" magazine subscriptions

Nope. https://www.magzter.com/magztergold https://us.readly.com/

> Apple TV is the only service that has its unique style of content i.e. movie quality production values.

W... what? I don't even know how/why you'd quantify this, but Apple TV is not the only Apple TV. Or rather, Apple TV is not the only Netflix...

-

If anything what your comment is doing is exposing why Apple is so ridiculously dominant when they dip their toes in anything.

Apple Music for example, had features no other app could have for years, like Siri integration (which didn't open up until Apple Music was well cemented)

So it didn't matter if the selection sucked, they could shove it down people's throats until it had traction.

Likewise, Gymkit is an absolute bear to integrate. It's not like integrating an SDK, Apple is practically entering a business agreement with you, and they have full power to stop your launch over icons not looking the way they want.

-

All that being said, I use an iPhone, I accept the Faustian bargain, but let's call a spade a spade. Nothing about Apple's subscriptions is unique, if anything they're all kind of second place to other services... until you sprinkle in the insanely tight integration they have with the OS.
Haha. No!

I think the inconceivable revenue from walled garden platforms like iPhone and subscriptions means Apple just doesn't give a shit about their laptops.

I think that when companies get a taste of this it ruins everything . It's so much money that everything else takes a back seat.
In my experience, smaller customers tend to pinch pennies and be very difficult. Bigger clients sign cheques and move on.
Apple is known for effective branding. Not inventive branding. Look at their other names: Music, TV, Fitness, News. I think Apple’s priority here is simplicity and getting the idea immediately across rather than being “creative.”

Square pallets sounds awesomely easy indeed. I didn't know that existed. I've only seen the ones that are wider on the top vs. the bottom. Like this one https://www.dsm.com/content/dam/dsm/dyneema/en_GB/images/app...

Those look like they'd be easier to deal with too though. And in any case a great discussion in the interview can ensue regardless. Which is the point.

Interesting second problem too. So you have a regular 747 you say, which I suppose has a mass I can look up somewhere, we have statistics probably about how much cargo and passenger baggage usually weigh (or maybe these are even available for the specific flight?) and passengers hopefully made it out alive since you said the aircraft was intact and didn't burst into pieces.

Now would come the part of just looking stuff up that I don't know but know is known to man already so you better look it up instead of reinventing it all. Apparently from a quick google I would probably want to know how much the plane's buoyancy already works for us (it definitely sank so there's that, but did it barely sink or did it sink like a stone?) and see how much a ping pong ball wants to float. My guess is that the ping pong balls are so buoyant that we can even ignore their small plastic shell and calculate it as if the plane was directly attached to the needed volume of air to make it float.

"Do X then do Y" style programming is natural for some people - mainly those who first learned programming that way. Mathematical expression style is more natural for other people, and recursion is very natural in that context.
It depends on the language. Many good languages are designed to handle recursion safely.

For some, it’s practically the only way to loop.

Evolution comes at great cost though. Languages have to find ways to add new functionality while preserving backward compatibility. And the cost is great in human terms as well. Python added a walrus operator after so much fighting that Guido van Rossum decided to resign as BDFL. Meanwhile, OCaml doesn't even need an explicit new feature for that, because it's expression-oriented from day one.

Not to forget that when languages pile on features over the course of years, they effectively split their users into 'old-style' and 'new-style' codebases, where people need to worry about what features are usable with what versions of the language. It's a huge mess.
I'm happy to read encouragement to consider the wider group of stakeholders in the scope of testing. In many organizations, incentives are out of alignment to find issues beyond the obvious user-facing correctness ones, so "testing theater" wins, because it allows teams to declare victory more quickly. Software as a discipline would benefit from more testing attention to security, accessibility, usability, etc.
Please cite studies with randomised control trials to justify these claims.

Lots of people will come in here with technological solutions. Adding limiting software and blockers may help with some aspects of a phone distraction habit, but they're unlikely to solve the problem long term.

The first step is to notice why you're using the phone. Since this habit is likely very strongly engrained it will be difficult to notice.

Here's an example from my life:

I'm working on problem -> I don't understand what to do next -> I feel confused and anxious -> This feeling is unpleasant and I want to avoid it -> I pick up my phone to browse something meaningless to take my mind off of the unpleasant feeling.

Your exact triggers and feelings might be very different. Finding the pattern of your thoughts is the important thing. With this in mind, you can start to understand why getting rid of the phone probably won't help. You will just replace it with another activity.

I tried switching to a dumb phone and cutting the internet off to my house for 6 months. It didn't help that much. Instead I would deal with the unpleasant feelings by watching TV or picking up a book.

Your habit was built over months and years. You won't change it in a day. The first step is just noticing your feelings (harder than it sounds!).

I recommend the book Indistractable [1]. It gives a lot more detail about how these internal distractions are the root cause of a lot of procrastination habits. Just reading the book will not fix your problem in the same way as reading a book on running will not get you through a marathon. You have to put in the work over weeks and months.

Good look. With time and effort you can change this habit.
