Something that helped me was setting my mouse to a lower DPI and using my elbow and shoulder for movement. A very high DPI encourages tiny movements with the wrist.

This is also a general recommendation for gamers looking to improve their accuracy with FPS style games. Low DPI, larger arm movements provides higher accuracy.
That's what western societies have become - the state and corporations are 100% an adversarial to society and individuals. Nothing they say or do can be taken at face value and most people assume anything they say (their words) is 180 degrees opposite in intent and inevitable future deeds.

This is what you get when you either outright lie regularly or are not careful about appearances of your words!
They are no true sustainability advocate at this point, and this is an element of opportunism in this as well.
> Per dictionary.com, the first definition of "advertisement" is

Not at all a compelling argument.

Per the Oxford dictionary (https://www.lexico.com/definition/advertisement), the first definition of "advertisement" is "a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy."

Per Mirriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement), the first definition of "advertisement" is "a public notice".

Per Collins (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/adverti...), the first definition of "advertisement" is "an announcement online, or in a newspaper, on television, or on a poster about something such as a product, event, or job."

Per Cambridge (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/advertis...), the first definition of "advertisement" is "a picture, short film, song, etc. that tries to persuade people to buy a product or service, or a piece of text that tells people about a job, etc."

Been using M570 too for some time. However recently I've read that some research suggests that thumb-operated trackballs might do bad things to your thumb and that finger-operated trackballs (like Kensington Expert) are less risky. Worth keeping in mind and digging deeper. (Don't have K.E. but planning to try it out)
I wish I could buy the Moonlander without switches and keycaps. I already have both.
Thanks for bringing this up. While the idea of blockchain payments hitting a mainstream app is kind of exciting, adding Strike support to twitter isn't much different than adding something like Venmo support. Both require a banking style intermediary that require KYC from their users.

> grab the near exact keyboard layout we use with physical keyboards, and just stick them on a tiny touchscreen

Add to that the sad story of the QWERTY layout: proven to be inefficient and yet still widespread.
A lot of people get their opinions from a chain of misinformation that starts from groups who are incentivized to keep the status quo.

Even so, there are a lot more high leverage ways to spend tax money on reducing carbon than car rebates. Car rebates are a way to buy votes. I think it's pretty obvious that $7500 could be spent in way that reduces much more CO2 and doesn't benefit people that are already pretty well off.
How's the eco status on NFTs these days? I know Bitcoin is still trying to cook the Earth but have they fixed NFTs yet?

My only "get off my lawn" take on it

Also it all seems to be digitally drawn portrait templates with different accessories on (eg robot heads). I have no idea if they sell but someone's giving Twitter a bunch of money to shove those in my face haha. I'll put that one down to not getting it, I never got into pokemon cards etc either

Hi there -- Shri, founder of Awning, here.

Opendoor helps sellers of primary residences sell their homes without putting them on the market. They also help individuals buy primary residences that they've purchased.

We're helping individuals buy Single Family Homes as rental properties from the market, helping with all aspects of purchasing and managing rental.

When you work with Awning, you're assigned an Awning Advisor, a licensed real estate agent, who understands your financial goals with real estate. They then ensure that Awning is finding the best properties for you to purchase as a rental home. Awning agents only work with individual investors on our platform meaning they have a lot more expertise in the investing domain than a traditional residential real estate agent. They're salaried and receive benefits as well!

All of the properties on our platform have been curated by a combination of our algorithms and team and they come with a picture of their estimated financial returns, including numbers like the expenses you'd have maintaining the property as a rental and the rental income you'd yield. We've spent a lot of time building systems to analyze every listing on the market and surface the best deals -- something that the best firms on Wall Street have built themselves but haven't given retail investors access to. We're democratizing access to the speed and data these investors have.

Once you've purchased a property with us, we connect you with a vetted property manager who manages your rental day-to-day, dealing with maintenance requests & finding a tenant.

Since we're a licensed brokerage representing our customers, we don't have to charge any extra fees for our service -- we make money through the commission fee that's included in every listing on the market, regardless of which brokerage you buy it with.

Let me know if you have any other questions -- hope that's helpful!
I'd be good with disclosing on the package, what date support and updates for my product will end. Then I can make a good decision.
Thanks, good luck to you on finding a completely pain-free solution!

This is the late 90s, so neurologists and other doctors weren't very useful at all. One even suggested surgery to correct my problem which got me really scared I might be out of the profession and wondering what I could do.

What I found out was that there's a nerve that runs all the way down your arm into your hand/wrist, and when I twisted my right hand outward to use the mouse, it was pinching this nerve constantly. But instead of having pain in my wrist or forearms, it was causing pain in my neck and shoulders. This is a well-known phenomenon called "referred pain" where the body might not have the proper pain receptors to show pain in one area, so it sends the pain signals elsewhere.

I started to wonder why I could write notes with a pen for hours and hours throughout college and never had any issues, but a couple of years out of college, I had such debilitating pain that I almost had to quit. So I bought a mouse that had the form factor of a pen and tried to recreate my experience writing by moving my keyboard away and using the pen mouse the way I would when I write with a pen. It was a very primitive mouse with a roller ball the size of a marble at the tip, but it completely worked. After the pen mouse died in 9 months, I tried to recreate my wrist angle in a similar way as the pen mouse with a normal mouse and it worked as well. As I said, I've adopted this convention and people comment on how weirdly I hold the mouse, but I've been pain free ever since.
Not to give undue credit to Google.... but I do recall a popup in gmail about personalization not too long ago (either this year or last) with the option to opt-out.

Might have just been to the EU/UK users though?
I loved the kensington expert mouse for that (the old one that was exactly same as a poolball) since it had wonderful heft and could do both palm spins and precision one hand.

But, they stopped producing that particular kind (they were also hard to maintain using a special key to open the case) so I just switched to using my left hand for the mouse on half my computers and right hand on the other half. That was easier than moving equipment around from machine to machine for me and coworkers/family. No RSI since.
That's the point. It exempts the poors who live in a shoebox apartment and take the bus and crushes the ones who are living far from their job and slogging out a crazy commute.
It took me some time to get used to this workflow, but now I see the urge to do large edits as a distraction.

Have you tried replacing the internal battery? It may have low charge or a shaky contact (that's more rare). Happy for your toddler. When mine grows up, I want to give her disconnected devices that are simpler and more tactile. Certainly not a phone.

The keyboard emulation is dead simple and reliable, so this seems to be a hardware problem. If you got an old device that was abused by a school student, there may even be some rust in the ports. Actually, I myself do not sync with the keyboard emulation anymore - I wrote a python package neotools that works faster.
Scaling is when you change the size of fonts, apps, etc. In Win10 if you chose anything above 100% everything becomes blurry. There's also a problem when you use multiple monitors with different resolutions. You move a window from one screen to the next and it doesn't scale properly. It's a known issue for some years, and I'd wish they solved it in Win11.
> This is certainly not something you would do unless you were really desperate.

This is aligned with your position on value to humanity. If you believe that the US is the greatest force against humanity in the modern world (which a lot of people do believe) then not being a part of it is extremely prudent. That inconvenience associated with not being able to visit other countries pales in comparison to being part of the evil which is the US (if this is what you believe).

> Finally, pointing out other bad things does not make this a not-bad thing.

It's all relative. If on the list of bad things in the world, I have FB below about 20 other things I have yet to act on -- and FB is paying the rent and my kids college then why should I act on that (as you point out with the police, there is some value to their service -- if I were employed by FB, they also provide value directly to me)?

Others may have a list of things that rate worse against humanity than FB (but we still "participate in them") such as the crimes committed by the US govt, abortions, police abuse, the prison industrial complex, my cheating best friend, regulatory capture in pharma, allowing animals to be imprisoned and killed for meat, our overreliance on plastics, etc... There's a lot of problems in the world that harm humanity. FB just simply isn't high on most people's list. I'm not saying it isn't high on yours. In which case, you definitely shouldn't work there or use it. I'm just trying to prepare you for the fact that most people, myself included, just don't rank this very highly. And I certainly don't hold it against people that work there -- except for maybe Mark himself.
In Europe, fuel taxes are high. In Turkey, taxes are high but also the income is much lower.

As a result, in EU the cars tend to be much more smaller and economical than those in the USA. In Turkey, the cars are like the cars in EU but the engines are much less powerful and fuel economy is everything. In Turkey, the car that the average Joe would buy will have 1.0 to 1.6 engine. Anything larger is reserved for the rich.

However I would like to note that, not only the fuel taxes are high but also the car taxes are high. In fact, the taxes in Turkey are so high on the powerful and expensive cars that it started catching World Wide attention[0].

But I would be careful on overtaxing. In Turkey's case, cars are so expensive that it's like buying a house. People take very long term loans to buy these things, which greatly reduces the disposable income and the life quality. On the flip side, cars value don't depreciate as quickly as in the USA or EU. Cars in Turkey tend to be well maintained and very few clunkers would be on the road(unlike Eastern Europe) and once you get a car, you can actually upgrade it after few years much easily since the old one will hold it's value pretty well.

As a result, from environmental and safety perspective taxing high works but it comes at a great cost of life quality. I would prefer the EU approach. Taxes are still high but not excessive and goals of reducing emissions are achieved through regulation instead of tax pressure.

As an ex-Googler I believe they also use the data collection to "improve" products such as the Pixel phones. For example, they can compare the # of iPhones purchase receipts (emails accumulated from Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, etc) to the # of Pixel purchases. They compare this kind of stuff YoY and to Google's equivalent products and can build a pretty accurate picture of market adoption.
The absolute best keyboard that I've ever used was the Matias Ergo Pro, a true split keyboard with an audio jack plug connecting the two halfs, so they can be very far apart. A true mechanical (Alps) keyboard, true split, with tenting and tilting and integrated palm rests. And a real Function key row! I had two of them.

Why two? Because the first one didn't last a year, so they sent a replacement. That one didn't last long either. For $250 I was expecting a durable keyboard, but this isn't. Many people on Geekhack and other keyboard forums also report build quality issues with them.

That said, I still highly recommend this keyboard. It is comfortable enough to spend $250 every year or two on. I see it as less than half a dollar a day for a professional tool. How much do people spend on Windows and Office licenses? Not only is the layout phenomenal, with the arrow keys and Home/End/PgU/PgDown perfectly placed, but it also had very good mechanical switches.

One thing I admire about the Clojure community is audacious projects like this. While a ton of these seem to run out of steam, they certainly shoot for the stars and tend to come pretty dang close for a while.

For those working in Typescript, Blitz.js seems to do a great job at drastically decreasing the plumbing you have to write to shuttle data between Postgres and React. There’s also a ton of goodies like auth built in. From my first impression it’s the closest the JS community has ever come to a Django, and that’s very high praise in my book.
Then there's the innocent men, those are a definite skip (enemy combatants, the like of them)
Here's my question - NYT could charge me $5 and then deduct from my balance on a per-article basis.

Do we need crypto to enable those transactions? If micropayments made sense, why haven't they caught on already with the payment infrastructure 99% of people already have? Micropayments via crypto are just payment with extra steps.

I'm not for/against either one. I'd just like to see a coherent argument against the idea that crypto is a solution looking for a problem.
Doesn't lithium have antidepressant properties..? It's okay citizen, don't fret, breathe some more surveillance dust!
Yep. For all its evils and potential evils capitalism eventually trends towards net positive. We don’t have to like the way works but at least its something… and way better than the historical alternatives at scale.
No it doesn't. LUKS encrypts a block device, and then the filesystem is instantiated on that encrypted block device. No file names are visible.
Commission does not matter. It could be 300%. What matters is whether users can use another method of payment without artificial difficulties. If I can press "Apple Pay" and pay $120 or I can press "Paypal" and pay $40, I'd choose Paypal. If it would be $41 vs $40, I'll consider Apple. But that's me. Some people surely value Apple services more than me. So when competition is allowed, Apple will be able to price their commission competitively.
its not always a term to dehumanize, but is often used as a way to do so. recognize nuance in the world. characterizing someone is also a way to dehumanize them, FYI.

If you don't like a group of people and you want to get other people on board with hating them, just put some word_er and label them as such. it makes it much easier to garner hate for said group.

This isnt a debate, this is a known known.
I had similar thoughts. The app looks really good and interesting but mac-only is a non-starter for me as I can only use it on a small subset of my devices.

That being said, congrats to OP for launching. The execution seems to be great with attention to detail and focus on the right things.
There has been a follow up video by RichRebuilds where explains (and regrets) what he did. It doesn't change anything about Tesla's stance against 3rd party repairs and their reluctance to do anything other than a complete battery swap in that case.
Don't forget about exercise and/or physical therapy.

My tendons have been trashed by a medication(cipro) and I had some awful lows when my body was hurting, including my fingers.

The only thing I have found helpful was exercise and physical therapy. I have been doing PT for over a year now with a professional. I also won't code 8-10 hours a day. I want to program for a long time, so I prefer jobs with a room to think instead of cranking out code non-stop.

I did also use some supplements that were found to help with the damage in studies, but not sure if any were helpful.
In the US that needs to come with policy though. We have woefully inadequate public transit here, save for outlier metroplexes like New York. I would get laughed out of the room if I suggested taking the bus to the grocery store here.
Plenty of people tip creators on YouTube (SuperChats) and Patreon for things that have nothing to do with porn or sex at all.
I grew up at a similar latitude, and I disagree. That one can't perfectly solve the problem through a clock shift doesn't mean that there are no benefits to the clock shift.
For what it's worth, Lightning is dramatically better than Micro-USB ever was, and IMHO it's still better than USB-C in terms of form factor (it's thinner, allowing for thinner ports, so thinner devices) but not compatibility (I have to have a bunch of C-to-lightning cables and a bunch of C-to-C cables).
I don’t know, there really is something to it - i bought a Zsa Moonlander keyboard last year which is two split halves. I instantly felt a comfort i’ve never had before or since around my shoulder blades. It was really satisfying.

That said, i sold the keyboard after only a few months and i’m back to a normal style keyboard so it wasn’t that big a deal clearly.
> That seems like it would be an extremely regressive tax and disproportionately affect lower income Americans, no?

This is a standard economically liberal position, at least stated openly.
I worked for a well funded adtech company, and even our CTO used AdBlock.

I've already stated the solution, it is the parent to which we are all responding:

>What we really should be asking is why is google examining user data at all. They should not be in the position where they can even find out who is a terrorist.

The solution I advocate for is they shouldn't be looking at our data. I don't want them evaluating who is a terrorist or who isn't, because as soon as they do that they need to take action on that information or be liable for failing to do so.

But I think you have found a very good solution with Sony, and maybe we should apply this to google and simply not use their service rather than get upset because they've chosen not to support those they think are terrorists. Again google is not your slave that must perform a service for you.
What's an "actual" transfer of a "virtual" good?

When an NFT is sold a unit of data stored on a digital ledger is transferred. When a D3 item was sold a unit of data stored on in the database was transferred. Why are those meaningfully different?
It wouldn’t make Gmail and Office365 unusable because they would be whitelisted. Nothing on the top-20 list you can come up with would be affected because those things you can think of from the top of your head would be things IT would also think of from the top of their head and whitelist it. The long-tail of sites is where the real impact would be in my opinion.
EV are still susceptible to accidents (the way they're driven 'round here, I might even say more susceptible), but pollution from ICE also reduces lifetimes of people who have to breathe it in.

>Do you really find that people bond over differences in culture more than they bond over similarities?

Yes, that has been my experience. Talking with people and learning about how and why they do things is the easiest way to become neighbors. Taking an honest interest in the people around me has been the easiest social lubricant that I have found. It has helped me build a community in the past, present, and I assume in the future.

>Are you talking about "people who behave and think like Western progressives, but happen to speak different languages and hail from different locales"?

No. I have lived in the same house/apartment and/or in the same neighborhood as individuals from other cultures, including those relatively similar to mine and wildly different; from folks who were fabulously wealthy and well-connected, and those that had just the clothes on their backs when they came here. In my experience the only individuals who I have been unable to actually interact with positively are those who regardless of where they're from I wouldn't have been able to anyway. Religious extremists, that's one. Bigots, that's another. These are people who I would not get along with, even if they were from my own family.

Your example of the Thai career thief is a prime example. Someone coming here specifically to undercut and sociopathically 'get ahead' is not someone I would want to interact with. There are those people who already live here, though. That's not an immigration issue.

>although perhaps you really have never experienced anything like what I've experienced.

I feel like that's obvious; we're two different people.

What I was saying is that it is fascinating to me that two people with the same conclusion 'society is fragmented' have two wildly different conclusions about the reason for it.

That's interesting that it supports the article. Seems the hookworms on the track evolved against common medication, but the ones in your apartment complex didn't.
I mean as opposed to having to use weird key-combos, special reset-modes, and arcane tools to flash/erase internal storage and re-install my phone every time I want to try something new.

With the PinePhone I can boot from external media (like SD-cards), and that's quite a big deal.

Yeah, it's not ACPI and UEFI and generic images running HW-discovery and magically "just working", but it's still way better than the options you have pretty most everywhere else in phone-space.
