My theory is that boxing's effects are clear and obvious, whereas football and rugby have portrayed themselves as more safe in the past. The NFL spent years keeping CTE research down to prevent people seeing their concussion issues, where boxing literally has people getting knocked out in the ring.

People tend to be more accepting of sports when they own their issues and cater to their specific viewers. People who have a problem with concussions and violence just don't watch boxing, so boxing doesn't have to pretend that head injuries aren't an issue. They may not publicize the CTE aspect of the sport, but I don't think they're hiding from it to the same extent as rugby and the NFL.

As an aside, I will point out that MMA has mandatory medical suspensions in place after fights that are usually longer than the average football player's stay in the concussion protocol. That's not to say that MMA is better for your head (because it most likely isn't), just that the sport recognizes that concussions are an issue, and that the only thing that fixes them is time.

No, but I'm expecting the average user to be able to enjoy an open ecosystem. Such as bookmarklet, addons, client side widgets, electron apps, WASM plugins, and all the wonderful things we can't yet think of now.

Instead, we will have one more walled garden.

I can see this happening more in the future when you kind of run out of space and have increased demand for power. First thing you'll probably do is upgrade the turbines to be bigger/more efficient. Then if you've maxed that out you can start adding solar panels underneath the turbines.

At the end of the day it's about lowering your costs to generate the power you need.
I can understand programmers romanticizing "the trades", where effort is more justly rewarded. All of us have had sleepless all-nighters where that bug just didn't get resolved (or, worse, the solution didn't end up being necessary). Compare that to an engineer staying at the job site after hours to keep wiring or returning to the office to process paperwork/respond to inquiries/strategize. It's still hard, but at least the work will be fruitful.

In Software Development, you can "get by" with an effort between 2-6 (where 5 is an average worker) or you can "excel" with an effort of 9-10, but putting in a 7-8 just stops being be worthwhile after a few years. Compare that to a local business owner, where greater hustle always appears commensurate to a greater reward.

However, if I witness a game where two teams are repeatedly smashing into each other at midfield, causing harm to themselves and making no visible progress, standing on the sidelines seems like a perfectly valid and rational choice.

Making the argument that I could have helped / hurt one of the teams by participating holds no water. I'll join the game when it makes more sense.

So you want apple and google to act as even more monopolistic bullies ...

I see that you're taking this position as what you would do if you were Apple or Google, not what is the best course of action for all stakeholders. But you then opine that this is justified because the status quo is better for consumers.

The thing is, we already know that it's not. Apple and Google allow third party payment processors for _some_ of their apps. Would it be your best interests as a consumer to pay 40-50% more then you currently do for Uber and GrubHub? There's a reasonable argument to be made that those businesses simply would not be economically viable if they had to pay a 30% apple/google tax on every transaction. How many other apps or services went under (or were never made in the first instance) because Apple decided that their business needed to pay them a 30% cut of everything.

Which brings us to another salient point. Apple claims that they need to charge their 30% cut to pay for the cost of running the app store and for the developer tools they provide. But if this is the case, why should Uber and Facebook get to use them for free?

Even if we believe it's overblown, it seems to me cancel culture is THE preeminent gripe against our side that gains traction virtually anywhere it is invoked.

For this reason alone it's essential to fight and fight hard.
you can't really escape politics

Nah, I'm really tired of seeing this cop-out. It can't be escapted because people like you take joy in reducing every conversation down to politics so you can then steer it to your liking.

Just that it's important to be aware of who is likely benefiting from your actions and not pretend that by remaining "neural" or "independent" you're somehow above the fray.

I'd wager most of those voters voted for Nader because they wanted him to win, not because they were spiting Bush/Gore (while all the same being ignorant of the fact that 3rd party candidates don't work in first-past-the-post systems).

This has always been one of the more-grating aspects of cancel culture. When my tribe does it to yours, it's just "actions having consequences", "fucking around and finding out", "consequences culture", etc. When your tribe does it to mine, it's criminal harassment / death threats / bigotry / gaslighting / etc etc.

I think like most things, none of it is as big as you might think. It makes for an interesting story, so it gets heavily reported, but honestly, it seems over-represented in the media. Do you *personally* know anyone that has been "canceled" and suffered severe long-term consequences for it? Same question, but about local businesses? People are entitled to their opinions and actions barring actually violating laws. It's the balance of free speech and the free market. Any person, business, organization, etc. can take a stance and hold an opinion publicly, but that may hold consequences due to the perceptions and behavior of others that cannot be controlled. Locally I see unions and protest groups trying to shame businesses all the time. Those businesses are doing fine. I see local politicians raise money on the idea that "the left is trying to cancel them" pretty successfully.

> He later rescinded those comments and apologized and did his best, it seems, to make up for it in his later life.

I'm not sure why apologies would be needed for merely having an idea or belief that was incorrect. It's a core part of "cancel culture", but it turns thinking and honest discussion into an activity fraught with danger, and inhibits building a common understanding.

I think it's ultimately based on the fundamentally wrong assertion that incorrect thoughts or speech cause equivalent harm to actions.

> But we're talking about people in the here-and-now in positions of power with terrible opinions saying horrible things about other people and they downplay it by acting like the people holding them accountable are the overly-sensitive ones.

You're cherry picking. Powerless individuals have also been targeted by such mobs. The responses to transgressions have also been disproportionate or preferential, ie. a transgression by "enemies" is treated far more harshly than transgressions by "friendlies".

This is not any reasonable form of justice I recognize. Even if it has had positive impacts in some ways, it has also had negative effects, and this is what deserves legitimate criticism as "cancel culture".

Yes, and we've established that these people exist - aside from the info you've been presented, it should be pretty clear, anecdotally, if you have spent time with communities of first generation immigrants.

For example, I grew up with close friends whose parents were Bulgarian immigrants. Their parents had "good" jobs (dba, generic in-house IT) and were not hurting from money, but: they did not purchase homes, did not invest their money, and literally kept stacks of cash in the home.

Your personal experience and values are not necessarily representative of every other group in your country.
You use a phrase like "any individual or company" yet you probably couldn't name more than a handful who've actually been hindered. And most of them richly deserved it. Half the time it doesn't even work. Some liberals have tried to cancel Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby and it hasn't worked.

And I also think that casual disdain for "current ideals" is pretty callous. We're barely getting our heads above water on centuries of racism, misogyny, ableism and other classic prejudices. The fact that we're only getting around to punishing people now isn't an excuse.
That's not limiting use, it's limiting distribution, different things.

Are we? How can you be so sure. Perhaps sometimes that is true, but it clearly is not in many cases.
So you want more targeted ads for tech savvy people? I wouldn’t give ad tech that much credit. Many tech savvy people have cut the cord and watch TV through streaming. Anecdotally, I watch Hulu. Hulu knows so so so much about me yet zero of the ads are targeted. They very much have this capability (engineering resources) but due to a number of reasons I can only assume (network contracts, ad bids) it just probably isn’t going to happen. I would love if I could have an ad blocklist cause one more Progressive Ad will drive me bonkers.
The word “realize” has two meanings, one is “understand” and the other (perhaps less used), “make real” or “implement.”

(I would still disagree with the sentiment - better understanding often comes during implementation.)

Lazarus already saves the forms into text-based files that you can read, however this is really missing the point and reducing an advanced RAD tool to nothing more than 80s-circa resource editor for Windows. There are tons of tools like that.

The big feature of Lazarus (and Delphi and C++ Builder, etc) is how integrated the entire thing is - not just the form designer but also the framework being itself designed around its use inside Lazarus' form designer, object inspector, etc and the language having features (e.g. published properties) explicitly for such use and the IDE knows about the framework so it can automatically plug things, generate code (not in the Glade style of unidirectional generation but in that the IDE understands the code and can modify it). Hell, even C++ Builder actually feels a bit "alien" to VCL (which was originally made for Delphi and Borland had to add several extensions to C++ for it to work, which only really worked because they had their own compiler, linker, etc to work with).

The closest you could get to that elsewhere is QtCreator but you quickly realize (assuming you were used to Lazarus-like tools, most developers actually do not realize that) you are working with something that was meant to be coded against instead of used with visual designers (which is kinda backwards IMO considering the "G" in GUIs and kinda remind me a quip about Motif back in the day about how its documentation was a bunch of volumes almost without any screenshot :-P).

But if you want to do it right, you can't really work around the need for all these to be integrated with a unifying vision. Even Lazarus and Free Pascal, which are technically different projects, largely managed it because they basically did what Delphi already had done - and most of the warts when using Lazarus come from not being a truly integrated project like Delphi was, like issues with different FPC versions or relying on GDB as a debugger (which is the #1 source of debugging issues, fortunately there is a new debugger in works which can work as part of the IDE itself and personally find it to work fine, though it isn't enabled by default).
The rules of American football were changed in response to the 1905 season when 19 college players died. Instead of banning the sport completely, they started allowing forward passes. Which completely changed the game and made it safer.

That's exactly it, so many users are afraid that this will mean every random app you download will have a credit card entry field. Nope. Those random apps will still benefit from the simplicity of the system IAP, one tap, auth, done. The ones asking for a credit card will drop in ratings and search results.

The big players are the ones that will switch, amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, etc. And beyond that, competitors like Square and Stripe will release SDKs that make purchasing just as easy as the system IAP, and will actually force Apple to improve their system.

If Apple thinks hosting costs are of any consequence, then charge people for hosting if they don't actively use IAP. For 99% of apps hosting is pennies on the dollar, but for games like Fortnite it may actually cost a decent amount, especially for the binary size.

The end point is that there are no technical limitations to anything here, it is all political and Apple has the ability to change this at any time. There just isn't any point when they can continue to rake in 30% of every digital subscription service on the internet that wants to exist on their platform.
A model is no better than a image without animation. So at the minimum it needs to support animation. But of course an animation with no interactivity is no better than a video. So it needs to support interactivity. Now you're talking about a bunch of scripting, to which (as they point out) Babylon and Three.js are well suited. I don't see the point of adding this to the browser when canvas exists, unless the point is to take components out of Babylon/Three and put them into fast browser code.
I'm afraid not offhand, I'm a hobbyist in the area and picked up a bunch of stuff from here and there.

But, "APS-C" won't become known as "large format". Those terms are already in use in photography and already hold specific meanings, even if there's some wiggle room. Micro four thirds is the smallest serious size, still far bigger than what a cell phone can have, APS-C is the consumer DSLR size, full frame matches the size of 35mm film, and it goes further to medium format and large format. Medium format is already quite specialized at starts at $5K, and large format is extremely specialized territory and not for normal people.

California law TB117 required fire retardant foam until 2015 so a lot of couches have PFAS. This is an example of creating a problem by trying to avoiding another. Of course, this is not to single out CA as this is a global problem.

Could be wrong but it seems like the general rule is that manufacturers are allowed to "experiment in public" when it comes to chemical science. PFAS alternatives are already in the wild and we don't know what those do either.

Here's what you can do:

1. Open windows to your house, but also your car which contains PFAS in the upholstery

2. Minimize dust w/ vacuum, HEPA filters

3. Reduce use of old couches which stirs up dust until you replace it

4. Minimize polyurethane foam products - polyster foam is better

5. Paper/biodegradable takeout containers and fast food packaging have PFAS lined so the paper doesn't absorb oil etc.

I would too but mac does it in a pretty annoying way compared to say ubuntu unity.

With multiple monitors, it snaps to the side most one you have plugged in regardless of your primary screen.

I get there's a lot of dragging and dropping involved with the bar, but in Unity it let you set a threshold for mouse speed to limit you going to another monitor.

Just let me put it on the side and do that if I'm dragging something, it's not too difficult.
