The other day I was watching somebody search "Mass Effect Legendary Edition Ultrawide Support" while logged in to Google. They repeatedly got nothing but results for Heroes of the Storm, a completely different game which they had been playing a few days earlier. It was the creepiest thing. HotS is not a very popular game. I guarantee that most people searching "$VIDEO_GAME Ultrawide Support" are not looking for HotS info.

Anyway, on Bing and DDG both the first page of results were what I would have expected. Just like they would have been on Google ten years ago.

I recently got a very gracious trial period for Youtube Music Premium, so I'm giving it a shot. It's UI is what Spotify used to be, before they crippled it nearly completely for my use cases. I'm seriously considering switching because of this. I'm just hoping that YT Music can replicate Spotify's one killer feature - Spotify Connect - before my trial is over.
IMO it’s the increase in platforms that have pushed people towards a cross-platform solution even though it’s pretty wasteful. In the 90s if I wanted to write an application to target most computer users I would have written a Windows application. Now, depending on the app you need to target MacOS, Linux, web, iOS, Android.

I think people underestimate how much stuff you have to learn to be an effective UI developer on a new stack. There’s layout rules, visual customization, state management, how to organize your effectively for large code based, debugging, accessibility, localization, visual effects. Not to mention how fleshed out the tooling and documentation is for the web stack. Browser dev tools are really good. It’s no wonder people want to reuse all those skills to build UIs.

If even companies like Spotify or Slack think they don’t have the resources to build custom applications per platform, smaller companies or teams won’t either. (I say think because I disagree with their strategy but that’s beside the point). We need a way for people to use their web stack knowledge without requiring a full browser.

Biontech invested in the early research. Pfizer invested a lot more into manufacturing and the trials. Both are needed at different times. What Pfizer invested in was a lot lower risk (don't confuse that with low risk - it wasn't except by comparison!), but they invested far more money.

Quit trying to sell either short - without both investments we would be in lockdown yet.

Right - "rent control not working because of predictable outcomes of rent control".
>Only around 8% of Swedes live in households spending more than 40% of disposable income on housing, compared to 15% in the UK and almost 40% in Greece, according Eurostat data.

I wonder what metric they use for "not working".

It's not like a lack of rent control is creating vast new supplies of housing here in London and as far as Im aware the fastest period of homebuilding in NYC was in the 50-60s when rent control was at its strictest (https://cbcny.org/sites/default/files/media/image-caption/Ho... ).
Reading back I definitely come off a bit too harsh on gametap - It was a good service from the start. but I remember it seeming like there was trouble figuring out a pricing/content model that worked, as you said a lot of people who were excited for those sorts of games are often able to download roms as well.

I think it may just have been ahead of it's time in terms of model in the era of battlepasses, paid online and gamepass, as well as monthly paid streaming services in general.
No it was the US with the help of Pakistan. See - /dev/null.
Also common public property was sold during 90s and large amount of property requires now a mortgage. This has not helped the rental market. Instead now people are controlled by the banks instead. You lose your job, you lose your mortgage and life. Oppressive system.
How is something as simple as basic supply and demand still a shocker to so many people? Rent control is just the government picking the winners and losers, with those who are corrupt, play dirty, and generally antisocial being the winners.
asynchronicity solves the problem only when your code is io-bound (that is, you're mostly doing network i/o or disk i/o).

If you're doing computation, you're still locked to a single thread by the GIL.

Yeah you can use multi-processing, but now you're paying the price of inter-process communication.
The mid-point I like to argue for is to default to quite tall, dense buildings allowed in a circle around public transit stations, and tapering off from there. Maybe with some exceptions in areas where it'd really impact the character of the local areas.

But e.g. having taken Caltrain from Palo Alto to SF a few times, there is plenty of room for much higher density around several of the stations without losing much of value, and in doing so you'd take a lot of pressure off both the nearby city centres and the less developed land.

I live in London and wish for the same here - instead of increasing density in areas that are already high density, pull development out of the centres, surround well connected stations, and use that to justify more services on more suburban stretches of existing rail etc.

My favourite example is that highrises going up surrounding my local train station will house as many people on ca. 2,000m^2 of land as my road of 660 houses has space for on ca. 40,000m^2 of land. And the environmental effects of less travel etc. as more of those people can rely on public transit will be enormous. Increasing density around the stations like that will reduce the need for smaller density increases across the board, or eating into greenfield sites.
When has it ever.
I wish some governments would start shutting down the fiat exchanges.
> Even on a single user system which doesn't run untrusted software?

If you use the web you run untrusted code all the time, unless you block js and never turn it on.

Unless you verify each code, on each software you run and build it yourself or have reproducible builds, then you run untrusted software.

I would only be comfortable disabling these mitigations if the computer were air-gaped and never touched the internet.

So yeah, it' unwise to disable these mitigations, but, in the end, it's your call.

My understanding has been that the BY IT sector already was a large catalyst of the protests last summer.

These are very exciting developments. I do wonder though along which lines the support is coming from. There is certainly a strong incentive on the Polish side, and there is a huge number of BY nationals from the IT sector here. But then it’s also not very clear that Lukashenko is as secure on the eastern front as has been projected. The Putin/Lukashenko relationship has gone on for decades and wasn’t always very positive, with Lukashenko being a source of irritation. An anti-Lukashenko pro-Russian turn of events might be much more likely than a pro-West type of revolution. Belarus going towards the West would be a devastating blow to the Russian sphere of influence.

> ...but, I don't think anyone thinks that "brains have memory" is a complete statement of what they actually do.

Perhaps. This topic is a bit of a hobby for me, and I haven't really encountered much discussion that explicitly gets into the fine details and distinctions of the matter with respect to the human mind, as opposed to the plentiful discussion on the matter when it comes to computers.

A noteworthy distinction between these two is that computers are man made (such discussions are a necessary component of the development process), whereas the mind is made by ~nature, therefore it requires no such discussion.

If you can point me to any in-depth discussions on this distinction, or even any keywords that one might google, I would appreciate it.
I totally agree with you. It is much easier to use overall.

Isn’t rent control, as a means of addressing housing affordability, one of the things that nearly every economist agrees doesn’t work?

If you want to use rent control as a means to ensure individuals of various levels of wealth intermingle… then there is a conversation to be had. But it completely fails to make housing more affordable overall.
Supply underpins most of the housing crisis'

London is having a hard time because supply is less than demand.

Stockholm, NYC, Paris for the same reason.

It's really one of the largest things that seemingly every developed country is struggling with right now.

I don't personally believe Stockholm is more affected than any other European capital except perhaps Berlin, which somehow seems to stay affordable (likely because of supply).

This is just a bad article, you can always find a couple of people to interview who just HAVE to live in the most central area in the most popular city and then complain that it's difficult to get a cheap apartment.

There were new stricter laws on black-market leases recently in Sweden, and if you pay too much for a normal lease, you can go to court and get a refund. My personal opinion is that the system works as well as you could expect (except for the most central parts of Stockholm maybe that the clickbait article seems to focus on).

No, mRNA was suspected to be viable, but it was never proven. Like most new medical developments the early tests showed it didn't work and those needed to be worked around. Some believers did the research to make it work, but they had their detractors who said they were wasting there time as the problems weren't solvable. This time the detractors were proven wrong, but there have been other cases where more effort was put into something with no result (at least so far?)

> roughly the same weight and thickness

Are we looking at the same picture? They are 100% not the same thickness. They certainly could have the same mass, but thats precisely my point - if you want an easily removable battery you sacrifice other features (thickness for example).

> although several smaller cells will mean more packaging material and less collective capacity

Are you saying batteries didn't get more efficient (more capacity by size) over a 10 year timespan? Now I think you're just gaslighting me...

> However, none of this requires gluing the battery to the system.

I guess you didn't look at the link that shows the 1,282 step process required to even get to the point where the glue is removed.

> That was the topic here.

It wasn't. The glue is a red herring. The topic is about the ability to easily remove the battery - the glue being the part that you thought was impossible to do. That's not what makes it hard to provide a removable battery - it's the design of the overall hardware system. The hardware engineers (one of my good friends is an Apple hardware engineer btw) explicitly chose to design the batteries in such a way that trades off thickness and weight of the hardware with an easily removable battery.
Ideas aren’t worth anything. You can’t actually sell an idea anyway.

Your options are to try to patent it or/and try to build and market it. Neither is guaranteed.

However, nobody is going to want to give you money just for an idea. You need something to sell, either a patent or an established business.
>It's not like a lack of rent control is creating vast new supplies of housing here in London and as far as Im aware the fastest period of homebuilding in NYC was in the 50s when rent control was at its strictest.

They started to remove rent control in the early 50s due to a housing shortage. So by your argument removing rent control helps increase supply.

About 8 weeks ago I was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme Disease and I put my story up on YouTube to try to help others, let's just say it's a crazy ride downhill if you neglect the bacterial infection:

https://youtu.be/xbPr7DHwSIw

In the video I talk about the treatment I followed to recover.

Today symptoms appear gone but there have been testimony of hidden, lingering, or reoccurring issues after infection.

All that said, I still do not fully trust mRNA vaccines. Ticks carry a huge array of illness, bacteria and virus besides just BB.

If you are into Permaculture or Solar Punk, my 1/3 acre plot has a mini Food Forest and is a stones throw away from Lyme Connecticut where Lyme Disease was first observed affecting people and children. Like the video if you want to see more.
