The nice thing with the lists of multiple randomized words is that there are so many more combinations possible. The numbers, which will be individual digits for most people, add relatively little here.

Using EFF's dice-ware page (https://www.eff.org/dice) as an example, the long word-list has 7776 entries, with a nicely random way to select them. Four of those words is already a sixteen-digit number in the combinations available. Even their short list of 1296 words would provide pretty reasonable odds. The key is to use something like the dice that takes away our own biases when selecting words.

France has a completely different political structure and electoral system, and yet we've broadly seen the same phenomenon of the right wing's center of gravity always moving righter (is that even a word ?) and the left wing digging and splintering its way into irrelevance. The difference being that the electoral system produced a centrist rather than a populist (but in both cases Macron and BoJo are a pure product of their respective countries' establishment).

I don't think different systems differ so much as far as being rigged goes, it's just the rigging that changes. In the end, power is always in the process of cooptation.
That’s a really good point that I’ve never thought about. Some of the roads I’ve driven on were very much in the “you know what your ground clearance is, right?” category. It’s probably for the best that Apple and google don’t blindly send people that way.
I'm curious what folks who agree with this think about setup.py then? There's been a push to move to setup.cfg to specifically avoid the fact that python libraries run arbitrary code on install.

A Memorandum of Understanding is a far cry from the legislation they are trying to push through. A MoU is not legally binding. From your link:

> The recent 582-40 parliamentary vote in favor of a common charging standard came about because the European Commission's previous approach of merely "encouraging" tech companies to develop a standardized solution "fell short of the co-legislators' objectives," according to a briefing on the European Parliament website.

The first phones with USB-C came out in 2015. If this MoU was instead binding legislation, those USB-C phones never would not have been allowed.
> Otherwise, if the regulation merely prescribes that there has to be a button, there is little consequence if the button doesn't work,

This is a ridiculous strawman.

The Swedish model also makes it such that sufficiently motivated ass holes can make a company's life very difficult. Much better to have sensible legislation like the FTC's where your mode of unsubbing is equivalent to your mode of subbing. Really, shockingly good stuff from the FTC here. Unsurprisingly crappy stuff from Sweden.

Also, looks like the Swedish outcomes are pretty shit! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29255702

Right, each one of us needs to finish the work before the deadline. I really don't like how we perpetuate assignments to individuals. I suppose it stems from our education system and ticket assignments but I would really like to see more teamwork built into our daily workflow.

Some people assign timeslots for reviews, but when deadline is pressing, all the timeslots go away.

The only solution that I have seen, and am happy to be a part of currently, is to have a close coworking team that's responsive. In short, it's not the tooling, it's the people.

Back when DocuSign first came out around 2003 the finance company I worked for was ready to sign up with them at an exorbitant rate.

From what I recall, President Clinton had just signed the e-signature bill in 2000 and all DocuSign seemed to be doing is combining a snapshot of a document along with someone's hand-typed name and generating an MD5 hash from it.

I proposed creating our own e-signature app that did that and we used it for the rest of the time I worked at the company (4 years). I think what others are saying - that you're buying the brand DocuSign - is true.
yea, i totally agree with everything you are saying except that making a silly face in a thumbnail does not carry the same ethical weight (or really any at all) as unbreakable DRM or malicious pop-ups or uncancellable subscriptions. So i guess, in conclusion, i don't agree with you at all and i think your argument is complete horseshit. cheers!

A non EU resident doing bussiness with a non EU company has no protections under GDPR. Even if you are an EU resident, the scope of GDPR's extra judicial reach is not entirely clear. Merely accessing a foreign site as an EU resident does not subject it to GDPR. The site needs be actively targeting the EU in some way.

I'm not sure I am missing the point actually. As a class name, `.m-none` is pretty terrible, because it says what the thing looks like rather than what it does. I can't see how in practice this doesn't lead to a much greater mess, and even in the best case you would end up with

.m-none.br-kinda-rounded.p-a-bit.bw-pretty-thicc.bc-old-mauve

The clever example in the article with using a loop to define values is not something I find particularly compelling either. The whole point with specifying relative values, e.g., percentages, ems, root ems, etc., is that they can change relative to an element they inherit from or from the root of the document.

Furthermore, using class names is not the only way to achieve the effect in the example you pulled from the article. Sass (and just about any CSS superset from the past decade) can achieve the same with mixins, which would spare the resulting document from all the selector noise.
>Every western country is facing the same issues.

There's none of that in France, at least not for every day consumer goods. The prices of energy however have skyrocketed and semi-conductors are as lacking as anywhere else.
Jeff Williams, quoted in the press release, joined Apple in 1998. Tim Cook joined about the same time. So old Apple and new Apple are actually the same people.

Also it’s not accurate to say these are things Apple would never do before. I have an Apple MacBook Pro from 2009 and it was quite intentionally designed for users to upgrade and repair. And that was when they were much more purely a hardware company, with little services revenue or goals.

I just don’t see the overarching narrative that you do.
Done it and didn’t regret it, but I did end up going back to an IC role later in my career. I noticed that I enjoyed coding more and didn’t want to give that up.

Apple is not known for good web services. The App Store being a fork of iTunes Store and the Mac App Store building on the same unstable foundation. Sure they are getting better and better, but still...

Apple will want to scale this from the web or from on-device apps. Previously we've seen that Apple is detecting each part by serial number, so even mixing genuine parts disable a lot of features [1]. So, now it becomes clear part of their reason: If they can detect all the genuine parts, they can ship for self repair and it will work for the intended customer and not for other devices. This reduces chances of cloning, theft and scams, while guaranteeing quality (and guaranteeing their revenue on replaced parts too).

IMO, yes, it would require years for them to announce this. There is all the checkout part, they would need to issue the right part with the correct serial number to the exact customer and charge taxes accordingly. All this logistics is centered on software Apple has a bad reputation at best, and very slow process of development from what is seems from the outside.

I think many people have learned the limits of science, public health, and mainstream scientific reporting over the past few years. It has repeatedly exposed that the way people think about causality is not consistent with scientific thought. R0 is just one of many examples.
Thanks for the heads up. You guys do a good job on documentation. A little redundant on the marketing side, but overall very clear. That migration guide is very well-done/thorough.
I don't know what to think about this style of CSS.

I was taught to use classes semantically and style from there.

A navbar would be a .navbar class for example and that would be styled in the stylesheet.

Istead of a bunch of classes in the html to define the styles for the navbar.

I'm old school though and this may be the better more modern way?
I think part of the reason that that never bothers me is because I'm very much a "keep things vanilla" person. I don't typically customize a lot about my desktop outside of disabling tap-to-click and setting caps lock to escape. I don't install custom themes, I don't use most "quality of life" improvement extensions. I think I usually try and "adapt around" the OS, for better or worse.

As a result, updates don't really break much for me.

Now the ship has sailed. The files app was introduced I believe in iOS 11.

By that time Docusign was already multibillion dollar company with high market share, and the iOS users were not trained to use files anyway.

So even if you Can do it yourself, you are receiving a docusign link anyway.
DocuSign exists because there are various federal and state laws that regulate electronic signatures. Companies are required to make disclosures, collect affirmative consent, retain records, provide access to them to the person who signed, etc.

It's easier for most companies to outsource this to DocuSign than to do it in-house (and as others have mentioned, they're not paying $2 per signature at scale).
This is exactly what’s missing in Github. Amazing job!
It's not fiction, exactly.

Most places don't know how large their population is, that's why censuses are carried out. The city I live in knows a minimum number of vaccinations that have been carried out within city limits, and a maximum, but it doesn't really know how many of the people vaccinated live within city limits and how many live in the suburbs, and also doesn't really know how many people live within city limits. Calculating the percentage is a matter of dividing one approximate number by another, or if you will, dividing one number that doesn't mean exaxtly what readers assume with another that also doesn't mean exactly what readers assume.

I know that these problems are common. People move in with their SOs without filing paperwork everywhere, not just here.

However, if you want to keep track of how many people are vaccinated, you are going to have a counter. And if you want to tax people, you are going to have a number of inhabitants. Dividing one by the other is tempting, and it's accurate when you start doing it, because when 2% or 12% of the taxpayers have been vaccinated the count is fairly accurate. It only becomes really inaccurate as you approach 100%, and by that time changing the way you count breaks your time series, if you're using this data yourself.
That’s an interesting argument when we are talking about blacks.

"The Scott Alexander article misses the whole point. Of course ivermectin on its own is not particularly helpful (unless you want to treat worms,

The treatment regimen the American group is recommending includes Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc and a Zinc ionophore (drug that facilitates cellular absorption of Zinc). The ionophore can be Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine or Quercetin.

I have been baffled up until now why studies are not looking specifically at the combined treatment, just the ionophore, with no regard to whether it was being taken with Zinc or the other drugs. The fact that even Scott seems to have overlooked this is very concerning.

It's the Zinc that inhibits replication in many viruses, and ionophores like ivermectin increase zinc absorption."

Almost as if they've seen a shortcoming with signing just a memorandum of understanding and took it a step further this time around.

> To address the challenges for consumers as well as the environment, the Commission has supported a common charging solution for mobile phones and similar electronic devices since 2009. The Commission first facilitated a voluntary agreement by the industry in 2009 that resulted in the adoption of the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and led to reducing the number of existing charging solutions for mobile phones on the market from 30 to 3. Following the Memorandum's expiration in 2014, a new proposal by industry presented in March 2018 was not considered satisfactory in delivering a common charging solution or meeting the need for improved consumer convenience and e-waste reduction.

I don't know what Jeff Geerling's income is, but I'm pretty sure he's a full time Youtuber at this point. He doesn't like the stupid thumbnails either, but generating Youtube views is pretty much his job. Maybe there's some kind of long term strategy where refraining from stupid thumbnails curates a more intelligent audience, but if your livelihood depends on audience size, that's a big risk to take. In fact I hope it works out that way, but until that's a proven strategy I can't fault geerlingguy for the stupid thumbnails.

Vercel is similar. Somewhat better pricing, and if you use Next.js, there are "magic" features like image transformations or incremental static regeneration that are zero-conf on Vercel but require additional hacking to get working on other jamstack hosts, to varying degrees of success.

Next.js is technically open-source, but unfortunately a lot of more powerful features depend on Vercel (who owns it)... it's actually bad enough that I'm worried about vendor lock-in, and wish I had done more due diligence upfront. It's only getting worse too, with features like Next.js Live collaboration (think GDocs for websites) being built around Vercel infrastructure.

Gatsby is another competitor, though way too complicated (requiring a transformation step to GraphQL, I think) and pricy/slow. Github Pages for similar sites.

For the CMS part of a jamstack, I really like DatoCMS for its editor-friendly features & GraphCMS for its dev-friendly features. Both are better IMO than the industry leader, Contentful (which is insanely overpriced).

Outside of serverless hosts, I love Datadog's synthetic tests for simulating & testing user journeys across pages.
What are you on about? When I say "service" I mean people doing things for you. In order to have good economics you have to make money buy selling physical or digital goods. Its because physical and digital goods are intrinsically high margin. Its hard to make a support engineer twice as productive, but it's not hard to halve production costs by leveraging economies of scale. Furthermore, Saying "support != services" is ridiculous. Do you know what you would charge Hashicorp with if they failed to render the promised support you paid for?

If you are concerned that the only way to keep people subscribed is to offer them a one-off promotion when they've decided to cancel -- isn't that kind of a tacit acknowledgement that your product doesn't contain the value that you are charging for? To me, it seems a bit like you've actually reinforced the GP's point...

On the non-profit point of view, that's hard for me to understand -- I run a small non-profit and I can't imagine having any other response to someone cancelling their recurring donation than sending them an e-mail thanking them for their support and offering a conversation for some feedback if they'd be willing to tell us how we could do better. I suppose it depends on the non-profit sector you are in, but often times people giving low dollar recurring donations aren't particularly well off and I can't imagine forcing them to call me and tell me that they love our organization but they're just too broke for a while to continue..
I'm aware of the demographics in Bakersfield. I live in a city with a larger proportion of the population being Hispanic than Bakersfield, hence why I am aware of how Mexican culture utilizes hyphenated surnames.

Your link to demographic statistics does nothing to change my mind that this was vaguely racist (culturist?). I don't think Scott is racist, I just think this was a non sequitur that had no place within what was an otherwise fantastic piece of writing. It adds nothing and takes something away, and could have been better for doing without.
