A lot of times they kick that financial responsibility down to the merchant.
Just to add a fifth point: Lifespan. I'm typing this on a Majestouch that I've owned for more than 10 years. I've had to replace the keycaps twice now due to wear, but the keyboard still works perfectly and feels as new.

It's certainly the oldest piece of technology in my office. I've typed on newer fancier keyboards (and have a 60% for travel), but the Majestouch is still my favourite.
Yes, covid is endemic now. Everyone will just get on with life.

Over time mask wearing will fade away. With luck the annual covid vaccination will be be free (and mandatory for many occupations) and it will be combined with an annual flu shot, and under-12s will get it also.

(Super cynical remark: for a decade or more policy wonks have been agonising about the coming "tsunami" of healthcare needs as the Boomers age, and the political pressure to provide that care--Boomers know how to vote! I think that government planners secretly won't be too unhappy that covid takes out some of the sickest, most high-need elders.)
If I ran a company, I'd just outright ban Friday deploys for anything besides critical bugs.
When somebody defected from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, his/her relatives would be punished by being fired from good jobs and forbidden to take new ones; usually they had to do some harder and worse paid work. Unless they were members of the Party; in that case, their position was a bit shaken by a defection in family, but they usually could survive in place.

And yeah, their kids were either banned from studying interesting majors, or at least their education became more complicated.

This even concerned highly qualified people such as surgeons.
I got hit in an accident this summer and my 2009 Fit got totaled. I'm ok but I miss that car. If they brought it back I would ditch the car I bought in a heartbeat for one.
True, but might be infra/hardware related
I guess it depends on what you want out of the test; if you want something meritocratic, what we find is that testing ends up reinforcing existing social strata more often than not, because wealth often correlates to factors like quality of education, which in turn correlate to test scores. A stupid rich person will always be stupid, but a smart rich person will probably have access to better schools, private tutoring, and test preparation resources.

So there's the challenge that the anti-testing/testing reform crowd wants to solve: how do you call testing meritocratic when the equality of opportunity isn't there? And are we ok with that?
People typically tend to charge for fiction novels.
You can't guarantee results, but you can guarantee a good attempt to get results because the latter is under your control.
Hey I have bipolar and borderline too! But I just want to say, life isn't about achieving things; it's just about being happy. And a little secret: achieving things doesn't actually make you happy. Maybe temporarily, but anyone who achieves great things is never satisfied. Otherwise, they never would have put in the work to achieve what they did in the first place. It's sort of a prerequisite.

I was really good at a sport through high school and college. And one thing I noticed very early is that how good I was didn't make me happy. Sure, in the instant I won, I was happy. But then I went back to practice the next day, and was just focused on the next opponent. And then when I lost, I was crushed. I didn't become any happier as a person or enjoy my life more or anything as I got better at the sport. I cared a lot about getting better. What actually made me happy was just doing the sport itself, especially in the moments where I let go of the outcome. It's the old, appreciate the journey, not the destination. It's really true!

I also know a lot of people who are really good at things. They are no happier than anyone else. It's not something to be jealous of, or feel bad that you are not like them.

I also will say that I started to focus on achievement a lot less when I had a kid. It became obvious to me that what I did for my kid was infinitely more important than what I achieved for myself, and pursuing success for myself was really just a kind of game.

Perhaps a more harmonious way of discussing this notion: what percentage of times does psychedelic usage lead to psychosis, and what evidence do we have that could suggest a plausibly accurate answer to that question?
I believe in people wanting to not die generally.

Well at least you used a CS Lewis quote. That made me smile.
Rent going up. I think that one's pretty safe.

Remote work will continue - maybe not as strong as during the lockdowns, but still much stronger than in 2019.

Covid will continue to be a problem. By the end of 2022, we won't be at a "new normal" that is any different from where we currently are. There will still be a war about mask mandates and vaccine mandates and vaccine booster mandates.

The 2022 elections will be very vicious, maybe even marked by violence, but in the end the Republicans will control at least one branch of Congress, most likely both.

There will be violence associated with the 2024 election cycle.

Oh, you wanted tech predictions?

GPT-3 continues to impress, but has a much harder time turning into something useful. The "doesn't actually understand what it's saying" problem is too big to fix. Systems that actually do understand and then generate appropriate text are stronger, but cannot be created by GPT-3-like methods.

We'll still mostly be on IPv4.

Nothing dramatic changes in chips or fabs. Nothing dramatic changes in self-driving vehicles. There will be some cool stuff in medical, though. Between Alzheimer's and cancer, there will be at least one major advance.
- Metaverses grows exponentially
Its true. I think this is the strongest argument against cryptocurrency-as-a-currency which proponents too easily gloss over.

Security issues e.g. disputed transactions is arguably something which would naturally happen less with crypto, given the higher security bar to accessing funds. 16 digit static card number versus real cryptography, pull versus push, etc. Additionally, most people (including me) shouldn't be managing their own wallets, and I feel too many proponents go all cut-and-dry "don't use coinbase, they're centralized finance"; the advantage is the ability to fall off coinbase and still have your money and transact with it, not to get rid of all centralized entities.

Chargebacks are something that simply can't be done in crypto. Well, they could be, with a more complex new currency that looks more like escrow rather than currency. Optimistic take: Its still a fantastic option today for goods which really don't qualify for chargebacks (think: digital downloads). Pessimistic take: Merchants hate chargebacks, and are the ones who ultimately decide which currencies they want to accept, so the lack of chargebacks won't actually impact uptake/usage.

In fact, this last point is why tons of porn providers already accept crypto. Adult content is an industry ripe with chargeback, which is why most processors won't touch them. The ones who do charge a ton in fees. They love crypto; no chance of a chargeback, and lower fees. Customers probably love it too; better anonymity.

> people will take longer to make purchasing decisions.

I'd be interested to know how many people seriously consider "I have recourse through my credit card if things go awry" as a major factor in purchasing decisions. I've DEFINITELY spent more to buy something from Amazon or direct from Apple, because I know their customer support is fantastic, and that's an avenue that won't go away with crypto. Card specific protections, I can't say I've ever considered, but that's just me.

There's still plenty of room in crypto for centralized entities, like Coinbase, to take on the role of a bank and absorb some of this responsibility. I'm imagining a "pay with crypto" versus "pay with coinbase" option, where the customer can opt-in to an additional X% transaction fee, paid to coinbase, for "purchase insurance" or something. Its not pure-crypto, but again: balance in all things.

Crypto is important not so it becomes the One Thing All Consumers buy Everything With in a Wholly Distributed and Decentralized World. Its just another option; an important one because it provides recourse for humans who have traditionally be spurred by the established western and wealthy-oriented banking system.
The final oracle ruling is that it was fair use.

That being said, back in the day there was concern about all of that, hence why a Z80 is binary compatible with an 8080, but has different mnemonics. It's all LD this ST that, as opposed to the 8080's MOV.
I like to wear a hoodie a lot of the time. But that's usually because it's 66 degrees in the house when I wake up.
Na, I want to watch what my friends are watching without paying for 6 different streaming services. Do you have a problem with that?
Yeah this is pretty much why I decided I didn't want to write Ruby anymore. You may be right that this is the philosophy of the language, but if it introduces a speed bump or cognitive overhead when trying to understand what a snippet of code is doing (and I contend that "there might not even be a method there responding to your message" is a speed bump), then it's not a good thing, even if it's clever and somehow ideologically pure and interesting. I can appreciate programming languages as art pieces, but when I'm at work I want them to just be a tool.
> The problem that happened last time was that people opened the app to do something and logged out to try and fix it

They should add some friction to the logout process. Like a server API call to allow you to logout.
I am discovering so many neat cars in this thread.
To clarify: I'm in Ubuntu and the problem seems to be more strongly pronounced when copying from Chrome. eg: There's a website that uses Modals to display profiles. When pasting from that profile copied from Chrome, summernote will display a modal that covers the whole screen. But when pasting the profile copied from within Firefox, the contents of the summernote box stay contained.

Ah sure. The wire format has been fixed since 0.8.0 (2016-08), so you must have seen a very early phase of development (which took one full year).
No, but I would go and buy that from Amazon. Because Amazon is practical. Like pirating.
Also super rare (currently), I am extremely curious what the ratio of nurture to nature is for these folks? Having crossed paths with a couple of folks like this they don't seem much different than other people. Humans are basically wonderful all purpose organisms, with the right interest and enough time on task they can do almost anything.

Maybe a unique perspective or a deeply ingrained and unflappable "lets try this or how does this work?" attitude is all it takes.

Stay curious!
Low end Nissan Frontier.
Mine doesn't even have power locks or windows!
Im not a Tesla owner so i didnt know this, but i beg to ask whats the point of using your app to unlock if you're carrying your key already?
Like many industries, the automobile industry is going through production shortages. So it is a terrible time to buy a car and certainly a terrible time to buy a lower end car because, from what I've heard, automobile makers are dealing with the shortage by only making their more expensive models because there is more profit in them.
I observe the same behavior in react-simple-wysiwyg. It is possible to paste html content that "escapes" the editor. Meanwhile, there appears to be NO WAY to view the content in a text editor or even code editor like PHPstorm.
No, that's not what I meant at all.

> we only actively consider white people to be intellectually superior (or no: only intellectually superior at programming. european brains are more suited for coding than african ones).

I don't think that's true at all. My point is that even if it was, that wouldn't make "europeans brains" "superior" to "african brains".

> But don't worry, this widespread belief certainly doesn't impact any of our hiring decisions or our society whatsoever. In fact, it impacts our society so little, we've made it illegal to gather any statistics about how it might impact our society.

For people that don't know, racial statistics are forbidden by law in France. And you're right, that means that we don't have precise data like in the USA on which people are represented where. These statistics could help affirmative action, or help arguments in favor of anti discrimination law.
I'd add that I watch it, and then I talk about it, making more people want to watch it.
I did that for many years, then I switched to languages with good static analysis and felt really silly about how many years I had wasted wandering around in darkness.
Working around oppressive laws is politics. If by "political" means you mean elections etc, this completely ignores the fact that some countries don't have any, and in many they're basically just for show.

And if you're advocating for violent overthrow of the governments that do those kinds of things, that in and of itself is illegal (and much more so) than any skirting of financial regulations; not to mention that most people sensibly aren't willing to stick their neck out unless things get really bad.
My HHKB Hybrid Type-S is definitely less noisy than MX-Brown (at least in WASD keyboards edition).

It may be more silent than my typing on macbook air, but it's hard to compare because it produces lower frequencies, definitely nicer sound than macbook keyboard to me and never even thought about it as noisy.
Simple, people probably leave the keycard at home ?
There are good mechanical switches that are silent. For example Cherry MX Silent Red. I also have a keyboard with Cherry MX Browns with o-rings to dampen them a little bit.

There is no excuse, other than being totally obnoxious prick, for using a loud keyboard in an open office.

I was also very impressed with WTA. So much to lose financially and they not only didn’t stay silent, but also took a hard stance.
There is no reason technical that ENS could not run root .eth servers and have these in the global DNS namespace. It would be a centralized service with decentralized records.

I'm saying it wont happen because they wont let it. Its a closed club, and its a big deal when new TLDs get added. Johnny ethereum isn't allowed in.
Used a majestouch for almost 10 years. Bought an Varmilo VA109M after looking at keyboards for a month or so, couldn't find one with topre keys and Nordic layout. Not regretting it at all so far, feels amazing, similar in features to the majestouch, both have brown switches.
Who makes an app to unlock the car when you're carrying the key? You could also run out of car charge, but youre not worried about that, both you can just look at the gauge.

My phone battery lasts all day, and the internet is rarely down; but servers on the other hand...
This reminds me of ShortMail.com, but somewhat better. Congrats on the launch! Let us know how we can get verified (like you)!

I'd ask two questions:

"What do you know about the science of Climate Change?"

"What do you think is your role as a President to apply our knowledge in this area?"

Physics is a highly speculative field due the limitation of our technology.

Physicists know this. But laypeople don't.

With the anti and pro science folks, this part is getting worse where you are called multiple insults for even casting doubt on any physics theory/law like "nothing can be faster than speed of light" or "energy is always conserved".
It's not meritocratic. Almost 70% seats are reserved in IITs.

Relative ranking is something no one should adopt unless they have a population problem. Unlike SAT, your rank relative to your peers in the exam decides your fate. The problem with such system is it encourages people to participate in the race earlier. Parents are sending their kids earlier to JEE prep every year and increasing the difficulty. It will continue to go up unless it's humanely impossible.

Coaching industry built around it has bigger market value and revenues than government spends on IIT (the test that JEE is supposed to get you in).

Our most valuable startup is byjus, an edtech focused on helping students pass JEE. More and more foreign companies like Amazon are also opening JEE prep centres here.

https://academy.amazon.in/

Please don't adopt it.

Despite above, our educational outcomes in higher education are worse than most developed countries including US. (We are good at employment at tier 1 colleges though)

These students get burned by the time they get into college of their choice. There isn't much focus on actual academics and coursework unlike developed countries where universities get more difficult. Further, most students are encouraged to practice leetcode from year 1 instead of focusing on academics.

Everyone is slacking off after getting in so curving keeps their grade good despite a huge drop in effort.
Gold isn't a productive asset either, but people all around the world use gold as, essentially, a short against fiat currencies. Crypto could take over that role; I'm not sure that it will.
We have a bunch of old Sun Microsystems mechanical keyboards at the office, and they're not loud. I use a Cherry MX Brown equipped keyboard and it's not loud either.

Does everyone use "Blue" switches over there?

BTW, I don't believe mechanical keyboards are a fad. They're much better than the better rubber dome keyboards. Especially as they age.
> The whole point of an NFT is to create artificial scarcity in a post-scarcity medium.

That's not true for art NFTs. If you don't own the rights to an image, whether it's a regular old bitmap or an art NFT, there's no difference in scarcity as an observer of that image. But, as the artist who created a digital image vs an art NFT, there's a massive difference, and THAT is the whole point of an art NFT.
I'd just ban deployments all week long. There's no good time for some systems to go offline.
It'd be one thing if it was used like the System WebView in Android, for speed and security (which Edge does offer!),

but the implementation is just dark patterns.
Slowly is totally different and I won't use it. Not sure why it has usernames, when there are no public profiles. I won't use Slowly as I can't have my username of choice. But I will use Pony.
Yeah the problem is that grep understands lines of text but not the structure of code. But code should be understandable by a computer program (by definition it has to be at some point) so you should be able to use a tool that understands the structure of the code it's reading rather than just seeing a bunch of lines of text.
As used by the Austrian school, at least, it explicitly rejects empiricism, and uses deduction instead (from premises that are essentially taken for granted).
Thanks for sharing! Tom, the developer of SVGcode, here, happy to answer questions!
I find kids overwhelming, in fact, if I had kids (I don't yet) I would be constantly worried about making sure they get the best of life. I have a dog and he is already a lot of work, I even feel bad on days when it rains and I can't take him out as long as I would like to. I feel bad when I go out for dinner with friends and have to leave him alone. The feeling of raising a dependent is not fun (for me at least). It definitely gives me a sense of purpose every day but the thought of going away from him makes me very anxious.

I almost feel it is a happier life to have lived like a nobody. I can relate to the OP because I feel exactly like him many times. But then I remind myself that we are all stardust and there is inherently no purpose to life. Somehow that makes me feel very calm.

Some people are just like that. I have a friend who drives a different brand that has a similar feature, and he uses the app almost exclusively, even though getting to it and waiting for it to go through takes far longer than me using my fob. He just really likes doing it the "high tech" way and only using one gadget for everything.

I was watching a video game documentary about the history of the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise, a theme park management game that had both an easy learning curve but with incredibly sophisticated dynamics. What really impressed me however was the origins of the first two titles: written by one man in assembly language.

Throughout my life, I’ve seen many awe inspiring projects done by extremely talented people come to fruition.

Most of my career revolved around software development, something that I’ve done since I was 17 (now I'm 30) until a few years ago. I found myself writing entreprise software usually in the backend and some server administration and scripting sprinkled on top. Sat beside me were full-stack developers with expertise in DevOps as well. They knew how to do everything I could on top of so much else. As for me, I can write basic HTML pages.

I meet with incredibly smart people with master’s degrees and PhDs knowing so much about their field of expertise. People who know world history so well while being able to talk about the hard problem of consciousness at the same time. YouTubers and Twitch streamers who are so talented at playing games and entertaining us along the way.

There’s people who have paved the way for innovation and foresight. Those who make so much money due to their talents and bringing them to life in this world of ours. I’ve watched so many documentaries about all sorts of people from racing drivers, to game developers, comedians, data science experts, cybersecurity nuts, music producers, video editors, documentaries makers and so much more.

I’m mostly a self-taught person teaching myself skills as I go along with my life. I generally pick up a few facts that I can repeat to others. I used to do derivatives in math and draw as well.

Today, I watch YouTube documentaries and read Wikipedia articles, but I'm slowly starting to look for a new activity.

Now, I’m a technical writer composing documents for developers and users. I have maxed out this career path despite how I was hired without having any credentials in business writing.

I’ve been told by previous managers that I’m always in “learning mode” and quite “creative” too.

I have dreams. There’s a lot of subjects and activities that I’m really interested of getting into. I haven't decided to start yet, but when I do, I have strong time management skills and can conjure up much empty slots in my schedule. All this despite having mental condition and being on medication: I'm bipolar schizoaffective and borderline.
The answer is buy any tv and never connect it to the internet. I have a "smart" tv. it functions exactly the same as my old dumb tv. The only buttons I use on the remote are power, input, left and right to select the xbox or computer, and volume. Same story as it was in the dumb tv era. the smart tv experience is entirely optional.
