Of course they understand. The issue is that they don't care. They don't care about you or me. They don't care about whether you have Internet access and if you do whether it is slow or fast. They don't care whether you are homeless or rich or if you are high on drugs or a personal trainer to the stars.

If you make a big enough issue about how they apparently don't understand, they will create a committee to study the issue then ignore the findings. They don't care about you or your problems.

Perhaps not. But if you [the politician, not the parent commenter] are socially aware at all, you ought to be aware that your words are going to be taken that way by some people. "But that's not what I said, and not what I meant!" Fine, but then you're clueless rather than criminal. That's still not president material.

This is like a layman saying why quantum tunneling occurs remains unclear. It's well documented, despite anyone's ignorance. People have written volumes on their reasons for producing free software. A lot of the people involved in Fedora and GNOME blog about it daily.
For adults, I agree. But this is squarely aimed at kids and they haven't got the life experience to see these problems coming or deal with them appropriately.

If it were aimed at adults, but kids wanted to try, too, like Youtube... I don't have as much problem with that. But the target audience of Roblox ads is kids and always has been.

It doesn't seem at all fair to trap kids into this ecosystem, sell them the things they need to get rich and famous, and then also give them a worse cut on their games than Steam, Apple, Google, etc.
Exercising does only one thing for weight loss: it builds up your muscle mass. Muscles have higher 'passive' calorie burn than fat tissue. Thus, you can take in more calories without adding weight, and if you eat the same as before adding muscles, you'll lose weight faster.
I get where they're coming from though. To me it's more of a personality trait than generational, and our industries do lend themselves to often extreme introversion. I agree with you, it's way faster to get through conversations on the phone. People forget that social norms also apply to texting and that can make them drawn out, before even thinking about how some people only respond in very wide intervals.
I think you're alluding to the Verizon (IIRC) problem of data and voice access not working simultaneously. So on a call, you could use the device locally but not access anything via data (aside from being on wifi). This was unique to them and carriers using similar technology, since I don't use them I don't know if it's still an issue (but suspect not).
You don't understand the purpose and value of headlines. "An engineer husband" is not essential to hook readers into the story. His contribution wasn't ignored in the actual article.

My son makes some games on Roblox and plays a lot.

He has a great time, he's not chasing $, he just wants to have fun. It works great for that.

As soon as you try to stand out and chase money, yeah it gets HARD. Just like streaming on YouTube... or just getting noticed online for your blog.

But what's the alternative here? That's a question of scale. Just not let kids even have a chance to make money?

>Second, there’s the matter of how extensively Robux (Roblox’s in-app currency) are used to navigate the creator economy. Roblox creators are paid first by receiving a cut of Robux that comes from the sale, which they can use to purchase other Roblox experiences, in-game assets, cosmetics, etc. That means once a developer enters the Robux economy, their money is all spent inside the Roblox system until they’re able to withdraw it.
...
But to withdraw it, they need to have raked in roughly $1,000 worth of Robux.

This part seems pretty indefensible. Like yeah to a certain extent all online content platforms have a gate like this, but I've never heard of one that high. YouTube e will pay you as soon as you make something like $20 iirc. And the fact that they pay you in their gated currency which they then allow you to spend but only within their system seems like am obvious self-serving money grab.
We believe the market for fractional ownership will soon be much larger than the timeshare market. People want to own a real asset and with the trend towards remote work, demand for homes in desirable places is only going to increase. Our differentiation from timeshares is one of our biggest assets, so while I agree some may push us more towards this model, it is not in line with our goals or vision for Ancana.

disappointed to see 0 results for CTRL+F "emotion." it's not so much that the cliché "terminates your thought" these days as much as it is that it triggers a learned emotional response to the trigger stimuli that then results in a cessation of any logical processing. when I first noticed this around 2016 I became very aware of it whenever I encounter it, and have since become aware of just how many of these trigger-responses I've unwittingly learned over the years, leading me to do what I can to avoid this style of thinking.

> content creators are the problem.

> you can monetize their content.

Wouldn't that put the blame on the monetization of social media? Content creators are trying to make money, social media companies determine what kind of content is relevant and worthy of views, thus which content deserves the money. Content creators seem to be at the mercy of providing content that will be recommended.

I view it as a sort of "don't hate the player, hate the game." And the social media companies determine the rules of the game.
Absolutely. I was weighting before and after sleep every day, and results had fluctuations up to .5 kg, but after two weeks the trend was easily visible.
This isn't how these technologies work. There is no "other end of the wire" because this isn't about calling someone up and transferring a file.

Rather, it's about autonomous networks, that are run by global nodes. Such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, MaidSAFE, Freenet and others. You can't really stop them -- unless you ban encryption and packet sniff all the traffic, and then prosecute people running the local nodes. Most countries, not even China or North Korea, do all of that. There are countries that ban encryption, such as Monaco or some of the Emirates, but they really don't go after people running nodes.

And even if they did, all that has to happen is that the files have to end up being hosted and retransmitted by nodes in countries which don't block Iran. So file gets uploaded onto IPFS or MaidSAFE or BitTorrent, it's game over. To access it in Iran, you just need to access a node in Iran, which is communicating with nodes in those other countries. How are you going to prevent that?

They're also just bad at being phones! Recently Android has taken to popping up the keypad when it thinks it hears the other end ask for a PIN. And that is exactly before my finger hits the button to open the keypad, resulting in pressing one of the buttons, invalidating my PIN. (This is part of the broader phenomenon of hyperactively rearranging interactive elements of the UI, being unresponsive, but not protecting you from accidentally tapping something you could not have reasonably avoided. UIs should not be able to do unexpected things while also being interactive.)

The headline buries the big number: They claim a whopping 1/3 of the workforce quit after the announcement.

But they also buried the other big factor: They offered everyone $1000 to quit. They also didn't actually completely end flexible working hours, they just raised the minimum working hours to 20 per week and required that they be performed during core hours:

> employees would now be required to work at least 20 hours per week on a set schedule during regular business hours; their log-on and log-off times would be tracked, and stylists would at least temporarily no longer be allowed to become full-time employees. Those who couldn’t work within the new rules were offered a $1,000 bonus to quit

So it's not as simple as the headline makes it sound. It would have been helpful to know how many of those employees who quit were already working the minimum of 20 hours per week during core hours.

If they lost a lot of key workers, that's a big deal. If they lost a lot of people putting in a few hours here and there and those workers got $1000 for it, then this is a non-story. I suppose we can't really know.

From personal experience: Flexible work is great, but infinitely flexible working hours quickly becomes a huge pain. Without setting core hours and minimums, you end up with a long tail of workers who want to put in a couple hours here and there at weird hours. This might work if you workload is 100% asynchronous, requires virtually no training, and has minimal managerial intervention, but eventually the odd hours and inconsistent working schedules take a toll on everyone else who has to work around the flex employees. Constraining flex hours to certain windows and requiring a minimum is actually a very reasonable policy, IMO.
> "Do as you like, as long as you're not Sourcegraph"

It wouldn't matter that this provision is in the license that you offer to your users, because when you post your code publicly on GitHub you agree to their TOS which includes a section called "License Grant to Other Users". This grants all GitHub users, including Sourcegraph, the right to "use, display, and perform" your code. Even if this were not true, it has been claimed (I'm not qualified to judge whether it's correct) that fair use covers this type of usage even if there is no license.

I've heard plenty of good arguments against using heroin. It's extremely (and immediately) addictive. Recovering from that addiction is nearly impossible for most people.

Even if a person safely uses it, and can safely and legally maintain their addiction, heroin is inherently harmful to that person.

Is sex work (prostitution) inherently harmful? I don't think so. Sure, there are plenty of closely related things that are inherently harmful, but sex work can be done without them.

There is the idea that because heroin use often involves second-order effects like shared needles, overdose, etc. that it should be prevented. The reality is that most efforts to prevent heroin use tend to make these second-order effects more prevalent.

Recently there has been a movement to decriminalize drug use, including heroin. The idea is to replace measures that work to prevent heroin use with measures that work to help people overcome heroin addiction, and safely use heroin in the mean time. This way, we fight the second-order effects directly, which is much more effective.

It's a similar story with sex work. Many efforts to decriminalize sex work still have the end goal of getting people to stop engaging in it. This is in contrast to legalization, which would promote sex work while working to minimize the second-order problems that are common to black market sex work.

This is the crux of GP's question: Is there any good reason outside second-order effects to get people to stop doing sex work? I personally am convinced there are none, though my conservative Christian parents disagree.

> My parents have been timeshare owners for years so I'm very familiar with the sales tactics resorts use. Regardless of how they spin it, all you really own is a block of time. With Ancana your purchase is a deeded right to the property.

Most modern “timeshares” (the word remains current in common use though the technicalities have changed and the industry has mostly moved to “vacation ownership”) are deeded straight to the property and use this as a differentiating sales tactic to people's image of timeshares not being that way. I also have been a timeshare owner for years, and that's been the case with each except on in Mexico sold in blocks of weeks per year for a limited term of years because the market was largely international and Mexican law limits foreign ownership of coastal property.

> Resorts force you to sell your time back to them and they dictate the prices

No, they mostly don’t; that what is sold is freely marketable fee simple ownership is a heavily marketed feature of most. There are even real estate brokers that specialize in this market.

Though differentiating on the perception that most other vacation ownership options do this is very common in the industry.

I work in a fly lab (in the computer support part). I've seen a stray fly from time to time (they have traps set for them... they love vinegar.) but I'm not sure the ability to "escape" is some great intelligence test. The vials are tapped, the flies fall of the sides. insert new vial, flip and tap again..)

There is a lot of sequencing so you'd think they'd be pretty sure what is going on. I think its hard to measure fly intelligence, though the brain has been mapped

I don't think X.509 has a way to express multiple signatures on the same certificate. Issuer name, etc, are limited to one per certificate. See also tialaramex's excellent sibling comment about CAs constructing a new cert to sign including a new serial number.

Cross signed roots work by offering multiple certificates for the same key: you can use a self-signed root (from your trust store) or an intermediate signed by a different issuer, or if your validating stack is really competent, you can send multiple intermediates and the validator will check if any of them chain to an acceptable root.

But, the leaf (or end-entity) cert MUST be the first certificate sent, and only one certificate can be first, so there's no optionality there.

If CAs would be willing to sign limited scope intermediates (and if limited scope intermediates were widely usable), you could get your intermediate widely signed and have your leaf certificate signed by that, and include multiple chains from your intermediate. But that would take you from two certs (leaf + CA intermediate) to one + 2N certs (leaf + (your intermediate signed by CA + CA intermediate) * each CA) and all of that would add up to increase the handshake size and slow down initial communication.

It might be nice in some situations, but it's also costly, and support is iffy if you stray outside browsers.

I have no experience of Roblox development, but if it teaches transferable skills to 'real' programming then it's still probably a net good.
My kids (and I) certainly don't see it as exploitation - they love learning to create games, and would be happy to do it even without any chance of payout.

I don't think the $1k minimum payout is crazy either, as the overhead of paying 10s of thousands of kids $11.32 would kill margins (leading to Robux having to take a higher %age). I'd have to think most kids are in the same boat as mine - if their games ever earn them any Robux, they'll turn around and spend those Robux in another game, because that's what they want to do with it anyway.

Fair enough, and yeah searching for 'crocs' unsurprisingly returns a boatload of shoe results. This is a broader issue I think, in that coming up with good search terms that are likely to return the results you need is a bit of a skill.
First reaction: NFT groan; post-reading a couple of comments reaction: Oh yeah true, kind of a nice didn't-need-anything-but-thanks sponsorship 'swag'...

Considered reaction: if that's the target, a novel way to do sponsorship, they don't need to be tradeable right? In fact, it's harmful, since the sponsee gets nothing from the secondary market. So why NFTs, why not some mechanism for including the sponsor in the actual commit (for some number of commits, or a time period or whatever)? As you say, they're already immutable. Stick 'sponsored by' in there just like 'signed-off by'? Authored by Linus, Committed by SponsorBot<SponsorName>?
The main complaint is they encourage kids to create games by emphasizing the revenue sharing aspect, without making clear how hard it is to derive any revenue at all from it.

It's the process of identifying it that takes time. If it were sleep apnea, especially severe, a few days to a week of change would be enough to elicit a mental health shift.

The same generalities probably apply to other subtle health issues that can have 2nd order mental health effects.

edit - you're in AB, right next door to me. Go to your GP (and/or find a GP via walk-in by asking for a blood panel / urine test). Have them check for diabetes risks, acth (cortisol) levels re: apnea, and probably a fair few other things that you can at least then check off as invalid.

Learn how WinRT types get exposed to WinUI via XAML Islands, to split APIs from underlying OS version, all written in COM using the same WinRT types.
