Because the video includes paid promotion and YouTube does not reward fewer views with more engagement.

Another dark pattern - "share my data with these" list, on by default, 4000 entries, and you have to uncheck them manually one-by-one or accept.
Salaries should be transparent, even if you don't suspect discrimination. The only reason for companies to keep salaries secret or demand that employees not disclose their salary to each other is because the company cannot justify pay differentials. That's really it. They don't want people, especially longer term employees, to know their true value.
A statement about my Scala open source work
Why do you block minors from accessing content designed for miners?
There is no "inevitable forgot to pay it off". Last century when I was old enough I got a credit card and the bank set it to automatically pay off every month. The bank says to itself, full balance of this account this month is say £462.83 and must be paid on or before the 7th of December, then it sets a transfer to occur from my checking account for the amount £462.83 on the 7th of December. No "forgetting" possible.

Indeed if say an IT problem occurs and they can't do that transfer under UK law they eat the fees incurred. "The customer must be made whole".

As to fees, the merchant doesn't have to accept cards, as we see with Amazon, if they don't like the fees. Why should ordinary consumers care? When we were part of the EU the cards couldn't charge excessive fees, now Brexit allowed them to unlock this potential source of profit.
My experiences are limited to the one I attended, but I'd say most of the Humanities professors were Catholic. An English professor at a Catholic university writing about Catholicism is probably Catholic, or at least unlikely to be anti-Catholic. Particularly one that uses a phrase like "Damascene moment."
Does this apply to ISPs? If so, this headline is much bigger than it appears. In the US, it can often take a full day to cancel Comcast, Verizon, Spectrum...

Mine is 3 years old.

He used to watch 15m of youtube every night (together with me), but he started going mental when he didn’t get his Youtube, so we cut down on that completely.

The only time he sees Youtube now is if we are out for dinner, but ideally we get him to stop that too.

Other than that, there’s TV (educational, or disney channel) in the morning. And sometimes in the evening, depending on the day.

TV is projected by a beamer, and I feel like this cuts down on the intensity of the whole thing.

He finds my Switch and DS around the house and plays with them for a bit, but he doesn’t really get the concept of playing a game yet.

My main worry is that he sees his mom and dad busy with their phone way too much.
Agree. Also, FWIW, what Cloudflare built is definitely a nice option. I would prefer even closer integration though and will be test driving this.

But… This is almost just like an index.html and api.php file on a server. I think what devs really need/want is the Svelte Kit adaptor but an official Cloudflare way.

Edit: Apparently the functions support parameterized files like .functions/friends/[name].js [1] which creates a lot closer integration. Put that feature front and center! I think this really solves many issues.

My point, which I thought obvious given the question I was responding to, is that the numbers from the article are not good evidence of vaccine ineffectiveness at preventing transmission, and shouldn't be taken as such.

Let's assume the worst case scenario from the numbers given, that all the cases are breakthrough cases and none of the unvaccinated are infected (unlikely to say the least). At that point based on these numbers the vaccine can be considered 99.6% effective at preventing transmission. So if you're going to challenge vaccine effectiveness, do it with better data.

I should add that the OP I was responding to was literally questioning vaccine effectiveness, with a vagueness that suggests some sort of anti-vax dog-whistling. And I am sick and tired of the vaccines being questioned by people who refuse to engage even childhood math skills to analyze the crappy data they bring to the table, but yet speak with triumphant, quippy rhetoric like imitating their favorite TV characters somehow lends credence to their argument. Am I projecting too much onto the OP? Maybe, but I've been in enough of these conversations to know what they're likely to sound like.
> Nowhere to drain, period

Because the Sumas Prairie, the location with the imminent threat of flooding, was originally a lake. It was drained in the 1920s to claim farm land for the Fraser Valley. This is reversion to the natural state.

I've discussed this with my brother a bit (he's a neurologist, though not a specialist in vision), and he seems to think part of it goes back to our brain's instinct to react more to 'face' than other stimuli. Therefore thumbnails with a discernible face will do better.

And on top of that, an expression outside of "stock photo smile" will stand out more, and if you combine that, plus a catchy title that piques your interest, and have a video that can back it up, it will do a lot better than just having a video that has good content.
So things shouldn't be simpler, faster and easier to use?

Thanks, we're aware of that possibility. We talk a lot with them about the motivation for the limits so hopefully they will see the value in applying them to themselves even when we're not around. But it's obviously a long journey. Hope you've developed those tools now, I'm sorry you weren't set up to succeed there.
" the time my debit card did get stolen somehow, my bank did refund out of goodwill" - IMHO not, depending on when that happened, the bank would not have a choice because of EU payment service directive which extends similar (but not exactly the same) protections to all payment instruments including debit cards.

That's what he does though: push the Raspberry Pi to its limits (and this allows us to keep our wallets safe from thinking we might want to throw expensive SSD drives at it).
> I don’t think it is related to antitrust, but I do think it is related to the growing “right to repair” advocacy.

That's my point. The customers shouted, and Apple actually listened this time. And this has been happening more lately. Why?

It's because an exec at "old" Apple would say: "sure, the customers want to be able to repair easily, but won't this hurt our revenue growth and my bonus next year? What if they stop upgrading hardware as often?"

An exec at "new" Apple is now incentivized to think: "well, even if they keep their hardware longer, it doesn't matter. Because the customer will still be in the ecosystem and we can get them to spend more via Apple Pay, iCloud, Apple TV+, News+, Advertising, App Store, etc. etc. and all these new services!"
The problem is that in the US, one cannot easily stop a debit/credit card from being billed for a particular service.

A more general solution is to make the payment infrastructure allow me to ban a particular merchant. You can implement this by reissuing a debit card, but there's no reason not to make it seamless for individual merchants.
Kind of interesting but now I need to run arbitrary code to read a config?
> Years ago

You missed the subtle comment. I was replying to the fact that the OP had years to try to find a job at that company.

If they really wanted to work there and they had been that close in the interview process, another round would have likely gotten them in.

This is a common issue that I've seen in the tech world over the years. People fail one time and never try again.
Would it really affect battery consumption in any meaningful way ?
Yes. It's called Edge.

why? It can't be because then if something goes wrong you need to debug your configuration, because you need to do that often enough with a non-programming language format for even less power offered.
Angie Byron Talks History and the Drupal Community – Tag1 Team Talk
Yeah true, NPM is not the right comparison, I typed too fast, meant the frontend world and k8s world remind me of each other in certain ways. And I really find k8s and HELM im using not so stable, or ready, that's why everyone is using lots of different tools. I found old school Apache/Nginx a lot more stable. True Kubernetes solves a lot more problems, but as a result simple things, like a simple filesystem mount, causes all kind of issues.
Yeah this is almost hilarious. One of the largest retailers in the world unable to continue with a tax avoidance scheme but clearly the bad thing here is brexit!
Two boys, 9 and almost 7.

They get 40 minutes a day (mon-thur) of tv that they watch together.

On Friday and Sunday, we have family movie night. Age appropriate, which is getting harder.

2 hours a week of games (mostly switch, but they sometimes play minecraft or approved games on mobile devices). This happens over Sat/Sun, and we let them manage how they want to allocate time over the two days.

One observation is that after they play video games, they get agitated and angry afterwards, and it ruins the next hour or two of activities as they act like little assholes.

They do have access to Spotify to listen to music (content controls are turned on), but if we notice that they are watching the videos and not "listening" the phones turn off.

The one area where it gets dicey is my 9 year old is learning how to code, so managing that screen time is weird (is it like watching tv/playing games?). I dunno, but I generally don't say anything as this is his best use of devices during the week.

Shit is hard to keep up with tbh.
Meanwhile in Scandinavia:

You are legally entitled to unsubscribe from any contract in any way that is most comfortable to you. [0]

For example, you can:

* send them a letter

* send them an email

* call them and tell anyone who picks up the phone

* write it on a napkin and hand it to an employee

All are equally legit and legally binding.

Companies obviously do not want to deal with the manual overhead, so services typically have an easily accessible button for you to click.

Furthermore, companies are required to notify you at least 1 month before any contract is extended and offer you an easy way to cancel - and if they don't you can cancel at any point and get refunded. [1]

I see two issues at play.

Not all European CAs meet browsers' root programs requirements. Forcing everyone to accept those certs weakens all root programs (Mozilla's, Microsoft's, etc).

There is also the concern that special indicators displayed with a certificate can mislead users. A scummy company with an EV cert isn't any more trustworthy than if they had a DV cert, but browsers want to be careful not to imply a fancy logo makes the site any safer.
There is no viable automation or integration on Mattermost whatsoever.

Getting fewer views (and likely much reduced watch time) means YouTube's algorithm quickly buries your video.

You and I might use subscriptions on YouTube (just like I prefer RSS), but 99% of viewers for some reason just go to the home page and click on things YouTube recommends (regardless of whether they subscribe to a channel).

If you don't get recommended, you don't get views, and it's even less likely that regular viewers (outside the few who actually check their subscriptions page) will engage with your videos.
And phone service like AT&T. Also my question.

Maybe if they can not force you to take a modem, and then they only cancel it with a physical return. Another dark pattern.

A whole lot of other factors come into play in that statement.

Your current age.

Your current socio/economic/financial position in life.

Whether you are single or married.

If you have children or not.

Where exactly you live.

How much you really rely on things related in a city.

My statement was geared towards one's life over it's entire span, rather than being geared towards the current point we're each at in life... When I was younger, I greatly enjoyed living in the city despite all the expense and other issues like crime and close proximity to neighbors. As I grew older, a more quiet (suburban, but close enough to the city) life began to seduce me... Not saying it as concrete fact, but if you really talk to a wide range of people in older age, it's a recurring trend.
Figures based on blood donors were also circulating in the Netherlands earlier this year. But you have to be very careful what you conclude from blood donors because they are not a good representation of the general population. They tended to be healthier in general, have higher rates of vaccination, and also medical personnel are over-represented.

To be fair, you already have to execute arbitrary code to understand what config is doing.

Where execute is to sequence a series of effects that are described in a file.
Logging is stateful, though the state usually isn't observable via HTTP requests. Of course the same is true of the light bulb, unless another API is provided to read its status, and a similar API could be provided for the log files. Or a script could toggle a light bulb in response to the logging.

Perhaps a better way to express this is that user agents are permitted to turn one GET request into N GET requests (N >= 1), and can also issue GET requests without user interaction (e.g. for preloading). When this happens the system should still meet its (customer / end-user) requirements. The requirements related to logging are that every request is logged, so it makes sense to record each GET request separately. The requirements for the light bulb are that one user interaction (not one GET request) equals one state change, so updating the state in response to each GET request doesn't meet the requirements. Even if the API were explicitly "turn on" or "turn off" rather than "toggle" you still wouldn't want the state to be affected by preloading, and you could get odd results if opposing requests were repeated (interleaved).
They could, though. win+r `microsoft-edge://` should open Edge.

For context: Musk had some buy options coming due on Tesla stock at something ridiculous like $5. He was always going to take that deal and have to pay some taxes on it by selling stock.

The reason the tax bill is so high, however, is because he also decided to sell 10% of his total Tesla stock. He came to this decision via a Twitter poll titled "Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock." Shockingly, only 57.9% of Twitter respondents voted in favor.

In any case, he was going to sell some stock no matter what, so this comes off as something of a PR move. I personally think the more effective use of that stock would have been as an endowment towards a charitable foundation.
Personally, the CDN aspect of Netlify didn't bother me much at the time. The killer feature was the "git push to deploy". Compared to S3, that was ground breaking.
That is unacceptable behavior, and I entirely understand you not wanting to condone it.

For people who find themselves in that situation, one practical workaround I've found is using a service like Privacy.com which lets you generate dedicated Visa cards that you can pause or limit charges on
I really really hate this pattern on iOS. This and the app that is completely filled with ads.
I need to clarify. I am not implying that WHO / CDC is lying outright. It's just that they have to be very careful and choose the right message to convey to the general public.

It does mean you might have to downplay some things which might be true but will cause more harm than good if emphasized.

I personally can never do that but I won't judge people who are in a situation where every thing they say has a huge impact on our collective future.
But that starts from the premise that you even care about the "emotion" expressed in the video. While I'm sure that there are many genres of videos where the emotions expressed by the authors are relevant to the topic at hand, there are many topics in which an expression of emotion, let alone an exaggerated one, is completely out of place.

Same in the US. Credit cards are so convenient and free and come with rewards. Of course most people don’t realize until they are older that all that ‘money back rewards’ was essentially paid by themselves originally, by the vendor paying the credit card company a fee on every transaction. The issue is that credit card companies build in requirements to be endorsed that they don’t charge different prices for cash only transactions often.
On the unguessability of other addresses - I rotate several schemas making the mask of the address something like [service].[username].$(pwgen -1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')@customdomain.

Sometimes "[service]" is also shortened like "hackernews -> hn" to dodge the ban on service name in the e-mail address that some service providers apparently have.
"Pre-auth" works the same way for VISA/MC debit and VISA/MC credit.

The amount is (temporarily) deducted from my available balance when I use a debit card, just like it is deducted from the credit limit when I use a credit card.
Why not? There's no technical reason why the touch or face sensor needs to be trusted. The actual security processing happens in the secure element. The sensor is just an input device.

I've gradually come to appreciate that it's a bit silly to anthropomorphise mega-corps like MS, Apple, etc as a single entities, where such thoughts make sense.

At the top a lot of greedy self serving bullshit happens, which seems to be some sort of inevitable capitalistic or economic force of scale. But the effects of scale cuts both ways, hidden away individuals or whole teams will be doing their own thing based on a completely different set of principles and ideals. Although the umbrella they operate under burned my trust and patience long ago, I can still recognise the merit of tech that emerges from the individuals that work there.
Very offtopic but, at first I thought you said L1T and we almost had to take this outside. Level1Techs is awesome. Can't say much for LinusTechTips as it's targeting a different audience, though the young man does seem charismatic.
Unless they have a personal desire to do so, they won't. Most developers are driven by what others are doing and if everyone is building on Netlify and using Cloudflare Workers, they'll just do that and assume they understand.

This will inevitably end with a whole lot of people not having a clue how to do what they think they know how to do when these companies go poof (or are swallowed by private equity).
