I don't have a 'regular' printer, just thermal label (Brother QL570 I think) and 3D (Prusa Mini) printers, heh. At some point I realised the only thing I printed was Amazon return labels, and a thermal label printer was more suited to the job (no ink to dry or run out and need replacing) so that's what I got.

You can get A4 (or US letter I assume) or whatever sheets of labels for a 'regular' printer yes, but that's honestly not as convenient as a roll, especially a continuous roll where it prints to whatever length and then chops off. Especially if your use is occasional, don't want to print a whole sheet at once - and even if you do, I don't know how good the tooling is for laying out an A4 sheet of pre-cut labels with a different address in each one?

Yes, I'm _IMPRESSED_ by the lousy state of modern "ui" design tools for web.. It's still 1970 in web land.. having to use a text editor and not one, not two but THREE different syntaxes and languages (at least) to produce a working web user interface..

Even in early 90s we had excellent (amazingly excellent +++ compared to web) desktop gui design tools, that were easy drag and drop things..

Isn't it a shame how the world got Google Voice backwards? The savvy among us saw it as a way to present our one true phone number/identity to the world, and have options for different back end phones and services we could use. Cell phones, land lines, Hangouts, computer voicemail, all that. But the average schmoe sees Google Voice as a way to get multiple disposable numbers to sacrifice to spammers and bar hookups and commit minor fraud. So it became useless for its main purpose: being your phone identity.

Giving enthusiasts products lends enthusiasm to it, at the risk of a bad review. Advertising beside enthusiasts only makes products visible (to those who don't block ads).

Maybe they think they've run out of new enthusiasts with sizable audiences, so follow up by supplementing with ads to remind viewers of what they saw before.

The current covid vaccines are some of the most efficacious vaccines we have ever had. Even with efficacy waning due to variants, they are still very effective.

And no, not all vaccines prevent infection. It has long been well understood in immunology that some vaccines do not prevent infection but rather poor outcomes.

The vaccine reduces level and length of infectivity by anywhere between 50% and 80% depending on which study and which variant.

The anti COVID vaccine rhetoric is directly responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands. And it may yet lead to many more.

It's pretty safe to repeat things and delete things, version control is a safety net.

I've done a lot of legacy work, and most repetition is due to a loss of business context. Naturally support staff don't want to be hero's and make big changes.

Right now I work with a system that's been in active development for 30 years and it's a dream to work on because everyone knows it and I can just ask some of the original authors what something is, or to explain an edge case.

Anyone can claim ownership of anything, NFT or not. That's why there are lawsuits over ownership of property and wars over disputed territories.

NFT ownership concerns those who engage in the community, just like Bitcoin concerns those who are engaged with it.

What is Bitcoin after all? A transaction record in a distributed ledger. Exactly the same thing as NFT. It exists only because someone said so in a community that use software with the same algorithm to parse transaction records(the ledger distributed as a blockchain).
I understand I'm late to this party, and you didn't specifically open a set with myself. But here's a ball.

You've given six years of your life laboriously manifesting something guided by robots (A/B testing, et al.) and uncompassionate bodies (lizard people, et al.)

What would you think the chances are that your actual resulting contraption is not specifically and solely an implement to ride the leverage of the monopolizing forces of the market? Or maybe an omnipresent vampire sloth, if that is more directly relatable?

Why do you think you were engaged in a net Good?

Incidentally, I ran away from high-tech in 2016, having understood what we're building (no matter the company) and who is pulling our levers (market trading robots). I did not need to hang around to see what it leads to, and couldn't bring myself to do it either. I was physically ill for years prior, and might have well medicated myself to literal termination; I got my wake-up call.

Do I need to be yours, or will you please shut yourself out for a week and reexamine your memories wrt/ conclusions and operating assumptions? You sound like a reasonable person thoroughly misled, I would not bother typing all of this out otherwise. Can you please try thinking for yourself, you can clearly do that well enough. Just shut it all out for a week and come talk to me then.

I'll listen.
"...roles that require a lot of whiteboarding and brain storming simply don't work well remote on zoom"

Agreed. And the point about eye contact really extends to any remote exchange... though I believe it is particularly important in education (where we've supplanted a human-rich interaction with staring at files or tiny heads).

If I may be so bold, our team is working on a solution to both of these issues.

I still find that there isn’t a true replacement for the right culture. Culture has wide ranging effects on how someone does everything, while a process only tackles one specific issue. You can’t make up enough processes to cover all cases

I'm not trying to say smart contract are useless, just that they are only useful in the context of the ledger they are built-on. I was specifically responding to this sentence:

“decentralized and public execution environment” really sounds like you could execute arbitrary programs in a distributed fashion (which would be really cool), which is absolutely not what smart contracts are.

I found walking + biking + buses + muni trains to do pretty well in San Francisco.

Figure out the major muni train or bus stop I'm trying to get to, and then either walk to it or walk to a shared bike dock and bike to it. Same thing on the other side, if necessary. Often I just bike the whole way to get some exercise and see the city: "it's about the journey, not the destination", right?

The hills make it less walkable than other cities, but if you are healthy you should get used to the hills pretty quickly. I loved walking back to Nob Hill or biking back to NoPa after work. The hills are daunting at first. Sometimes you'd need to get off your bike and walk up parts. But once you get used to it it's not a huge issue.

The cool weather also helps cooling down after you get to your destination. Compare that to somewhere like Austin, TX, where you start sweating the minute you get out of the AC and into the year-round humid weather...
Even if the argument is taken to the absurd, the parent's approach can still be valid; if the user worked on an infinite number of environments (remember, this is the assumption of the parent poster), it'd be overall more productive to use barebone tools with zero learning overhead, rather than spending infinite time with the learning overhead of the infinite environments.

The core point is overall productivity; it may still be more productive overall not to know some tools extremely well.
I genuinely don't know if you believe this, or you're just repeating a talking point you've heard that somehow makes "your team", the "this isn't happening" team, the "scientists are conspiring to lie to us" team, the "Chinese hoax" team, seem morally superior.

But on the assumption this isn't just about spewing political catchphrases at people, you're wrong and the person you are replying to is correct.

You've absorbed the subtext of climate change denial propaganda, which says "this isn't happening, if it is happening it's not our fault, if it is our fault then it's not so bad, if it is bad then the alternative is worse, and finally, it was your fault anyway".

Specifically, we're on those last two steps.

Dealing with climate change isn't expensive. Dealing with climate change denial is very expensive. Anyone telling you that we all have to make sacrifices and go back to the stone age because solar, wind, EVs, eating less meat or whatever is impossibly hard, is lying to you.

Just internalize the external costs and we'll have lots of cheaper power. The only real problem is trying to co-ordinate everyone when some people are very prone to believing obvious lies and people can profit from that at the expense of everyone else.

There's many in decentralized finance.

I work for a company called Balancer. On it you can invest in/create an index fund of your favorite currencies, then traders use it to arbitrage and pay you fees for doing so. So instead of having an index fund you pay someone else to maintain, you get paid for it.

Or take Alchemix - You can get a loan that pays itself back over time, rather than you pay interest. Can think of it like a term deposit account where you get the payout up front instead of at the end.

Or Pool Together - a no loss lottery - you can use it as a savings account which is used to generate yield, then that yield is paid out as a prize every week.

Even just providing liquidity and earning a good return on that, or using something like Aave to get leverage, are things that very few people have access to in traditional finance.

There's a rabbithole of super interesting innovation going on in Decentralized Finance right now that you'll never hear about from mainstream publications because it's so hard to comprehend + explain for most people. This will go mainstream over the next decade.

> Customize your tools: they are yours, and being able to continue using and improving your workflow over time isn't a distraction if you are in this for the long haul.

I have programmed for 20 years professionally (and a few more). I have the exact opposite approach. I don't even learn ketyboard shortcuts, would never customize my environment even a little (like moving a tool window around in an IDE) because it just doesn't stick. The difference in philosophy is probably because I'm a windows dev and I just don't have (or trust) there to be a persistent settings storage. The small papercuts of not customization it is less annoying than the constant re-customization required when it keeps breaking, or you use a different machine. There is no real dotfile system, the user profile directory is a mess and even if it is, applications usually don't bother to maintain their settings and compatibility. So my philosophy has basically become: change nothing, and everything will look your way even on a clean system (and after the next upgrade).
People say NFTs open a huge new opportunity to sell art, but the only reason why the demand is higher is because of hype. Once that has died down, it will return to before: people not wanting to pay artists for commissions, no one contributing to their patreon, etc.

> Mentally exhausting, I guess.

I used to commute by (ordinary) cycling and this is a huge part of it. It's stressful navigating on urban roads through taxis and vans who seem to see you as the equivalent of a preachy vegan on wheels and drive like complete arses as a result. I've been literally run off the road by people who either can't be bothered to check their mirrors or have some creepy notion that cyclists "deserve" to be scared off the road by their aggressive driving. The only deterrent seems to be wearing a camera because they know it's the only way they'll ever have a chance of facing prosecution for it.

I'd never dream of telling someone else how to live their lives, I'm not one of those moral crusaders who endlessly harrass people about giving up their cars in favour of bikes.

Mountain e-bikes are an entire different kind of beast and living in the alps I agree with your observation of more unskilled and untrained people getting on trails that are a bit over their head, but that already happened here when some regions opened their cable cars for (mountain) biker, e.g., ski areas in the summer.

The current regulation seems Ok to me in the sense of, its simple, and it prevents most of the danger by default and the alternative would probably be to ban ebikes completely (as any hack-prevention will be circumvented sooner or later), which well would be rather counterproductive and people get hurt in cars too, so we'd need to ban almost everything..

I'd rather see some effort in educating people on bike safety in schools. We already had a bike driver licence test in elementary, while it wasn't legally binding it had some educational value, ebikes just weren't a thing there so nothing was thought about them.
