At its best, therapy helps you with the problems that you don't realize that you have. Or problems that you misunderstand, and keep wrapping yourself around the axle trying to solve the same way, but harder. A bit like rubber-ducking, in programming.

It's not that therapists have the solutions to your problems. What they have is a set of tools for helping you look at your problems in different ways, and experience in applying those tools.

It's really easy to be skeptical of that. You have, after all, been working on your own problems for a long time, and you know the domain better (yourself) than they possibly could. What can they contribute?

And the answer is that they're not you, and can therefore often see what's obvious to everybody except you. You know those friends of yours who can't figure out what's wrong even though everybody else already knows, but can't figure out how to convince them? Well, it's like that? That happens to everybody, including you. And unlike your friends circle, they're paid to be objective about it, to solve the problems rather than remain your friend.

This isn't a panacea. Finding a therapist is like dating -- you need somebody who clicks with you. It can take several tries to find one who works. It's not cheap -- it's covered under many insurance plans, but sadly conventional wisdom is that the best ones are those who can avoid working under insurance.

And that makes it kind of a catch-22: you have to trust the process for it to work, but it's not trustworthy. You have to be willing to step outside your preconceptions, which sounds noble in the abstract but is really aggravating in practice, since it feels wrong and feels like it's getting worse instead of better. Which it could be -- all of those various defaults and defensive mechanisms you've got, they came about for reasons.

Still, I'd say not to dimiss the notion. If you've dismissed it as clearly unable to help, I'd say you're wrong. Which isn't the same as saying that it can help.

The best I can say, as it relates to the article, is that if you're willing to go to therapy and take on the trust involved, that alone does make you more likely to succeed at dating, because you're at least trying to think about it. Or at least, you're demonstrating that you always were that person all along.

I hope that answers your curiosity, or at least helps point it in the direction of an answer.
consumers aren't 'weak-willed' there are simply not the vast amount of choices that capitalism promised, instead we have huge conglomerates that care more about continuous leeching off your wallet.

Handsome being a male adjective is a recent development though. Read some 19th century novels and the women are routinely described as handsome.

> The law that mandates that companies can't donate to someone on Patreon or help triage bugs or dedicate QA/security time to identifying issues is the requirement for CEO's to demonstrate good judgment in managing the company by maximizing profit for shareholders

Dows this law forbid them from paying support contracts to Oracle or IBM/Red Hat or anyone else? Hey, if nothing happens that needs support, that money could have gone to the shareholders, right?

And yet, I can't recall ever seeing any stories about shareholder revolts against management because they paid "unnecessary" support fees to software providers. You got any handy links to such stories?

If not, it seems it's your argument that is bogus.
In terms of the remote start, yes, you can do without.

But how long until BASIC functions become subscription service? Like electronically locking doors, or some other such nonsense?

Once money finds a path, my belief is that the path gets widened.

Your comment was about masks, which do stop the spread, but sure I’ll bite.

The vaccine greatly improves survival rate in the event you are infected by some anti masking piece of shit who is choosing to live in a state of self imposed ignorance.

I consider this a totally unnecessary thing. When they start charging to start my car, then we've got a problem. However, I do resent them inflating the base price by putting more unwanted h/w into the base model only to be activated as SaaS.

I have no idea what Toyota's margins are like at the manufacturing level but it's not uncommon for dealers to only make a few hundred dollars profit on the sale. $250 of additional lifetime revenues could be quite significant.
That's ridiculous. For a fixed cost feature you can charge $8k once if you want. Even if that's more than what I'd pay over the cars entire lifetime in $8/mo fees, I can choose whether or not to purchase the fixed cost fee. I don't mind that the fob costs $5 or that the disabled fob is shipped to customers that didn't get the $8k fob option.
> don't tell me that "self-promotion" falls into the same category as "spam/scams"

The issue with humans, is that whatever policy you come up with, there's going to be someone who reads the policy and skirts just around the edges. For example, they could say "no unsolicited marketing" and "no impersonation", which seems like a reasonable enough policy. But then you can imagine a user who habitually responds to support question on the forum with: "Great question, I can figure that out for you, email me at paid.consulting@vivaldi.com for a quote." It's not unsolicited per se, and not impersonation per se, but I can see why Vivaldi would want the discretion to ban this hypothetical user and disable his email address.
I think it’s okay to allow specifying such substitution variables in the log pattern syntax specified in the logging configuration, but not interpreting the log message strings provided by the application, and certainly not on log message parameters.
Yeah - not sure why Toyota is getting hammered for this.

Subaru does this as well. You can get app enabled remote start from your phone, if you buy their subscription service.

I love Subaru, but that is a trash system.

Yeah, I was part of an anime club in the 90s where the main guy was importing laserdiscs from Japan, downloading fansubs, and generating subtitles with an amiga. So we watched NGE as it came out, and it was such a perfectly executed troll. It starts out as yet another anime mecha fantasy, and by the end of it is showing you what that world would be like if it was actually real in a very adversarial way.

I remember when we watched the finale (the first version) one of the members of the anime club lost his cookies so hard he stood up and screamed a rant and walked out of the house in a state of rage.

It is the solution, just the consumers don't have the guts to go through with not buying. The average buyer now seems to have little self control. The companies as you pointed out take advantage of it and work together to screw everyone.

> continually-shifting goalposts and the false promises of administrators

Ever since the vaccine came out our county has said that mandates will go away as soon as we hit 80% vaxxed and community transmission is low, as defined by the CDC. The goalposts haven't moved. We're almost there too -- we have 79.4% of all residents vaxxed, but transmission is still "substantial".

> thanks to parents with enough common sense not to inoculate their kids with something they don't need.

That's not how vaccines work. You get vaccinated to protect both yourself and others. We still vaccinate for polio even though it's basically been eradicated, because if we didn't, it would come back.

Luckily I live in an area where people are mostly educated and believe in science, so our child vax rate is already at 64% fully vaxxed for the county, despite the fact that you could only be fully vaxxed as of last Thursday.

You can even do the same thing for a few special primitive integer types, such as std::num::NonZeroU64.

As much as I love the idea, Raft is not a silver bullet and can break in strange and inconspicuous ways that may be difficult to fix. It can also lead to subtle inconsistencies in the data depending on what data you are putting in it. Overall it may be good in some situations, but I doubt it will dislodge Postgres in any meaningful way.
Incorrect, all of their cars come without the option. Buying an alternate car just because of one corrupt feature is not reasonable nor effective as a protest, many new cars now leverage this tactic and there is no real choice because they get away with it based on leverage.

The responsibility is on regulators, not me as a consumer.

Ill try to re-organize your questions because they seem all over the place

* zero years experience as a software engineer, but you also built a mobile app, a ML model, and a backend service, all by yourself? that doesn't make sense

* you will never be playing the tech AND product role

* legitimize you as a technical person - no one cares. as a technical co founder you will be expected to make quick features, no one cares about scalability or technical depth of the design at that point

* technical founders being more on demand - because there is at least some knowledge needed prior, a limited pool. A non technical founder could be literally anyone, even with 0 school or experience (like yourself)

* goal being a successful founder - it's an almost impossible goal. you don't seem to be interested in working for someone. how many founders have never worked anywhere? its probably one of those 1:10000000 things

Was it 80%* or 96%?

Was Phacility paying for a dedicated IP or not?

If someone from a company is lying to you then is this really an overreaction?

Could it also be that it would get awkward if two people exchanged cash gifts and they were different amounts.

(Also could get awkward if it was the same amount.)

Gigabyte has been selling a version of LG CX48 slightly changed to be a monitor. It has HDMI and DP.

Just doing some quick back-of-the-napkin math, 1,600 miniature bayonet sockets potentially add up to hundreds of pounds of mass. That may have been a factor in the decision to solder the bulbs directly onto the boards. Especially when replacement probably required disassembling panels, so the soldering isn't really time worth saving. Just a guess though, and the significance varies quite a bit depending on where you set the slider for "mass of one socket." Still, it's the same order of magnitude that they shaved off when they decided not to paint the external tank, so it's plausible.
Wait what, do Corvettes not just unlock and open when you pull the handle? Every vehicle I've ever owned, from the 80s to now, manual or electric lock, the front doors both open when the handle is pulled, locked or not. If this isn't the case, I'm almost inclined to consider that criminally negligent.
I think the better question is why SDI video connections aren't available on any consumer devices.

While HDMI is nice for consumers because it carries audio/data, SDI cables are cheap (just a single coax cable!) and easy to route (T-splitters are a thing!).

SDI does not support HDCP, however.
To be fair there is also a large contingent of well-intentioned people who don't realize the full implications of what they are asking for.

Ironically many of those people would say they oppose the concentration of corporate power, yet they are asking a very large capitalist corporation to exercise power over one of the most fundamental freedoms.
Toyota wouldn't be doing it to cover costs, it would be there to generate profits. I wouldn't even mind if the app is good. We have a BMW with connected drive, the connectivity included is basically useless. It has a latency of around 2-3 minutes, depending on your cell signal.

The price of a service rarely does reflect the actual cost of providing the service, especially with SaaS margins. And $8/mo is not a whole lot of money if you consider your monthly expenses to use your vehicle.
So far Omicron looks to be about as lethal as delta, but also more transmissible. Vaccination and boosters look to be protective against serious harm in most people.

I have a slight obsession with fixing things. I think it's just in my engineering blood. Beyond software and other little trinkets, I've also taken a penchant for old houses. I just bought an old home and the amount of simple things that can be "kintsugi'ed" is astronomical. The house is chock full of broken old stuff that can be made better with some love.

One cool example of the period charm is a "butler bell" in the dining room. I had never seen or heard of this concept before, but basically it's a rope/pulley system that rings a bell in the kitchen to notify your butler that you need him. That way, the butler can stay in the kitchen while the bourgeoisie feast in peace.
According to the article, the remote start feature from the remote does not use the cell connection.
> Am I suppose to vote with my wallet and start a new car company single handedly? Well no.

That's exactly what you're supposed to do, except probably not single-handedly. You're supposed to find investors with cash to burn, engineers who are frustrated with their big corp wage-slave jobs, and frustrated consumers and bring them together.

There's about 4300 EV startups funded in the last 15 years [1], and 27 have gone public or are in the process of going public via SPAC in the last year [2]. Some of them (eg. Nikola) don't even have the "hire qualified engineers" and "build a working product" part down and still managed to raise billions.

Maybe my extended family is weird, but most gift giving is extremely impersonal these days and only done as a matter of tradition. People are making up wish lists and sending them to others specifically to avoid forcing the other party to invest a lot of effort into a gift that might not be received well.

Gift cards are the worst of both worlds - just as impersonal as cash, but even more limiting.
What? This is certainly [citation needed]

I highly disagree that it's human nature to 'fuck as much as possible'.

Certainly it is the goal of some humans. I can speak with personal experience that my nature isn't just to 'fuck as much as possible'. And neither is it most ppl I know. And the thing that's stopping us is not just anti-rape laws?

Fucking is great, but if you have a family and young kids, you care a lot about taking care of you family and not just going to the club and fucking more people.

It actually makes a lot of sense, unfortunately.

For the new car buyer, you pitch it as cost savings for the time you own the car. The OE Toyota Long Range remote starter is $1000 so if you go with the app, if you only own the car for 8 years then you're saving money as the new car owner.

However the overwhelming majority of car sales in the US are used, and the average age of the American car is now 12 years old. Outside of maintaining a spare parts supply chain, you don't gain any additional revenue from used car sales. With subscriptions, a 2020 model year car can still be generating revenue for a company in 2035. Plus you can adjust the subscription price year after year as desired.

I don't like it personally, but I can see method to the madness.
> Wouldn't this be addressed by economies of scale?

It would seem not. It's hard to find data, but a good proxy is condo fees for high rise condos vs low rise condos. Typically the high rise condo fees are higher than the low rise condos in similar areas, when the offer similar amenities. And usually condo fees are true cost representations, because the residents control the spending of their own money, so it's not a profit area for the owner, like the rent is.

Which means by proxy it's more expensive to maintain a high rise than a low rise complex.
Omni Consumer Products thought it was an amazing pitch.

Don't worry, they'll use their political connections to push this through.

That feels like apples-and-oranges to me if you're talking about a smartphone app feature. A smartphone app has to be regularly upgraded to pay nice with new OS versions, has to have back-end servers, etc. Toyota is disabling remote start functionality between the key fob and the vehicle if the vehicle doesn't have a subscription. I'm not surprised a smartphone app requires a subscription but I am surprised and disappointed that a feature on a car's key fob does.
My understanding is that Ethernet over HDMI is still used by consumer devices, just no longer for the original dream of switching wired internet given the modern ubiquity of WiFi. More recent standards such as ARC [Audio Relay Channel; used for a number of surround sound setups] and CEC [Consumer Electronics Control; used for passing remote/controller data between devices] both piggy back on the Ethernet pins, and I believe they entirely interfere with using the Ethernet pins as Ethernet (though maybe only in the available bandwidth/speed?).
