Have you asked why so many people are so strongly resistant to a "tiny little mask"?

Put yourself in another person's shoes and try and realize why being forced to cover yourself, especially going on 2 years now with no end in sight, feels so unnatural and distressing to so many.

Think about how the masks impacts all human communications, not only in terms of facial expressions and body language, but even just communicating in immigrant communities where English is a second or third language and clear communication is already difficult in the best of times when people aren't masked.

This is not a small or trivial deal to many people. Use your empathy and talk to some mask-critics about how its psychologically damaging to them.
they largely still only get two major version updates. I've stopped buying Samsung phones and started using a $300 Pixel. A third of the cost compared to a $1000 samsung phone. I can junk it after 2 years and just get another one.
Exactly this - my youngest is still using an iPhone 6s which is running the latest (iOS 15) version just fine, after only one battery update. We bought it in 2015.

Better business model might be make some api, or layer that you control in all this...basically it becomes like a headless cms...could be as simple as centralized auth/data-hosting, then the other version for $400+ could be on-prem/self-hosted...

Then people might get 1 month trial, and then $19/month/app.

This way you start building up a lot of MRR, and can maybe add price points for # of average monthly users or something like Auth0 has.
I'm just so used to it the wrong way now!
For #3, you should have the relevant info on server side analytics just like for the web facade.

Anyway, the people reading your RSS will load every article. They aren't the ones setting the difference in popularity between the articles.
If you mothball a plane for 2 years it requires a huge amount of work before it's qualified to fly again. Probably not higher cost than the total work of maintaining it in flying condition for those 2 years but the man-hours are a lot easier to manage when amortized over that period vs all at once.
Sure, the opening price will be different than the previous day's closing price, but if Cramer comes on after the market closes and tells you to buy, and you're sensible enough to ignore the after/before market, then the earliest price you can get is the opening price (you could do an analysis with early/late trading, but I don't think the data is available, and only crazy people trade outside of market hours). And that's the price that was used for the analysis. So fair's fair.

Would Cramer's advice be better if you could retroactively buy or sell before his show? Maybe, but that's not a realistic question.
Allow me to introduce Pixel 6 and the Android 12 fiasco...
It's an article and study about the US. Everyone has a variety of answers now. iOS users (in the US) really make unprompted quips about "the other" this way, when not in mixed company. I feel extremely comfortable letting people in on whats going on, 87%.

Dear ThriftBooks,

I also played it on PC. I don't remember hating it, but I do remember thinking "This doesn't feel like Sonic". The perspective was really tricky, especially with the stupid red birds that jumped around all over the place.
Yeah, I opened web dev tools in firefox and looked at the request times. Seems strange not to use a CDN to improve the load time with a CDN, particularly with users in a different continent
At the least they should get felony charges and spend a week in jail like the undocumented tourists of the capital.
Signal is almost infinitely worse than iMessage in terms of features, UX, stability, etc.

> It was caused because the training procedures didn’t train pilots on how to recover from MCAS failure

I disagree only in that the focus should be at a higher level.

Boeing was so focused on making sure that the 737MAX would be the same type rating as the 737, despite it having very different handling characteristics, that they developed things like MCAS which made it kinda-sorta like a normal 737, the only way that would succeed is if things like "MCAS failure" did not exist and therefore did not require training.

It's not that they didn't properly train people on MCAS, it's the fact that MCAS shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I had both the official Sega dev kit and the SN Systems one. IIRC they both came with a C compiler. I don't remember any C++ compilers for the 16-bit consoles. C++ was just coming into PC game development at that time. I was in the industry then and I definitely used some C++ code for PC game development.

I once called up SN Systems as their office was down the road and asked if I could visit (this was about 1996) and they were such a nice bunch of people. They had very early prototypes of every console stacked on a back wall. Stuff that would not see the light of day for at least another 20 years. Early PlayStations, 32X, Saturns, Megadrives, Mega CDs. I was looking at a Mega CD dev station and they just handed it to me and said I could have it O_O. I think they gave us a couple of SNES and Megadrive dev kits too. They said they would have given us boxes of the things but they'd just thrown them out yesterday and the rubbish had already been collected.
I probably spent a month and a half studying most days for it (including reading my old data structures and algorithms books). It's the first time in my career I actually tried to prepare for a LC-style interview, and tbh it really wasn't bad. I also had a good experience and am still in the position, so YMMV.
Yeah I met him once. I didn't want to call him out on it :)
The federal government Essential Air Service program subsidizes airlines to continue with scheduled flights at small airports in rural areas even though there are few passengers. Most states have at least one such airport so Congress has consistently provided funding.

AIUI, the heat of the collision would've melted everything that wasn't already molten. Any "age" information would be lost as the system cooled. At least, that's my understanding from playing with Universe Sandbox.
Ah well I had AppleCare+ on both, replaced the first one then bought the current one a year later when the M1 came out because I wanted the battery life for travel. The $3500 computer I sold for a surprisingly large loss even though it was basically in mint condition after Apple replaced everything – turns out that although Apple product resale value is pretty high, the 2nd hand market for a $3500 computer is pretty small. Lesson learned.
A carbon tax would solve this.

There is a lot of discussion about how to do it, but not why to do it? Why would you want to overbuild a house like this? Why would one think this structure would even be desired that far in to the future?
That is so fucked up
I have a 1st generation SE bought in 2017 and still haven't replaced my battery. It's life isn't great, but I can generally get through the day without charging.

I've thought of upgrading for the same reason as your mom though.
There was an amusing flip side in US early legalisation days where some Feds raided a dispensary and did their usual over valuation of drugs taken.

They were then sued with the dispensary winning, the damages requested were of course the official police valuation.
I find this to be such a bizarre statement. “What causes long COVID?” has been a common question for a year and a half now. Someone publishes results indicating it might be X and treatable with Y and we get a couple of people chiming in with “yeah, we knew that already”.

You knew the solution to long COVID and just kept it quiet? The NIH was publishing guidance to give anticoagulants to hospitalized acute COVID patients but just neglected to tell people the cure to long COVID?

I’ve got no dispute that you knew to give hospitalized patients anticoagulants early on. My statement is that this is a different thing than knowing to treat long COVID with a related protocol. This study hasn’t even been published yet, has it? This is a preprint we’re discussing. Have there been a bunch of other studies showing this is a viable treatment I’m unaware of (this is certainly possible)? Or is this new data?
The difference is that iOS bugs get fixed pretty quickly, which makes me believe that people inside Apple actually use their own products, so they spot the problems and address them very fast.

Compare that to Android 12 on Pixel phones. Users can't make phone calls due to some bug, and Google is going to provide a fix by the end of January! Do you think they'd delay it that long if they used their own products?
I got chills when I read about the protagonist being too fearful of the wrath of the mob to publish his theory until after he got tenure.

Reminded me of the quip that science advances one gravestone at a time.
At least in Germany it seems storing records for up to 6 months is common, since that's when the deadlines for suing under discrimination law expire and an employer has a legitimate interest in being able to produce detailed documentation about their decision process to defend against such lawsuits. But that's again a very specific thing that justifies it.
Well, "civil war" is when society is divided into camps and these camps fight each other, or side with an external force. So, IMHO, "war" is still a fitting abstraction - the question is which side you are taking - people's or virus's.

Well this prevents my plan of "I'm never gonna die because I have to maintain this OSS project".

In the spirit of other legacy / succession features, is there an opposite option to prefer the account vanishes from the platform entirely?

This also reminds me of Debian WNPP listing where you can see requests of succession because of age/health/disinterest/etc. https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
Hardware yes. Software is debatable. iOS quality is not as good as it used to be. Android is actually better in some significant ways. It depends what you care about.
They are the extreme fringe. There is also an extreme fringe on the other side of the aisle that believes white people are demons created by Yakub, the USSR did nothing wrong and China is paradise.

If you’re allowed to coalesce the right into their extremists, the same should hold true for the left. At least in a society based on liberalism.

I’m of the belief that fewer black folks being shot by police is a noble cause, so I feel positive about BLM. I also feel positive about some of the constitutional and militia groups because IMO the scale and corruption of the US government ALSO requires attention.

I don’t like racial bigotry or communism so I will vehemently denounce such groups.
That doesn't answer the question why do you think that group initially acquired critical mass enticing others to change?

Signal is not comparable at all to iMessage.
Yeah, I was going to say Miami and Texas are likely the lowest. The Texas border smuggling is pretty real, as is the various ways of quickly getting to South Florida/Miami. Southern California border is nowhere near as bad as Texas in terms of smuggling

LA is roughly $80/g, or it was 3ish years ago. I’d say it’s still around that.

Going into the MidWest of Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly, & North into Seattle, Portland & co is where it’s heading North of $80/g. $150/g in some of the mostly dead middle of nowhere but still metro cities then becomes a thing.

I can imagine if you know a guy in NYC you could get $40/g or cheaper as massive loads come in private yachts and stuff… but average bloke is paying somewhat high
So many things said here.

[..] According to the National Institute of Health, more than 6 million people in the United States use homeopathy to treat specific health conditions, and over 200 million people use homeopathy on regular basis worldwide.[..]

So yes, millions of people. If you really want to have a proper discussion, I can participate. I don’t want this to be a random slinging match. Let’s use the time we spend here wisely.
You can, albeit with some effort involved, e.g. Ben Thomson has mentioned Stratechery does some kind of link counting like that with the podcast feed.

It's a good point that some amount of unauthorised sharing can be a positive. The main issue is it's hard to control without also having false positives, where the paying subscriber is annoyed by their service being revoked, having to re-auth, etc.
Twisbi ECO is great, but for me the medium nib gushes and the next finer nib down is slightly starved. They need something in between.
> The buck stops with the airlines

Why though? I'm not a fan of government intervention in general, but, when the system colludes to accidentally create perverse incentives (flying empty planes) I don't see an issue with the government stepping in to make the situation less perverse (no flying empty planes) while maintaining reasonable equity (right of first refusal seems like a simple solution to that).
Wow. That twitter feed is eye opening. It definitely goes to the credibility of the accuser and I encourage others to take a look.
Yeah, exactly. When I see a green bubble from someone I almost have an aversion to texting them because I know there will be a bunch of papercuts making the experience shittier.
Yep I’ve always thought it quite silly that the USA is spending/has spent something like billions to keep drugs away from Americans.

Yet if you go to any high school or college across the country you can still buy whatever drug you want lol.

If a pimply 16 year old skater kid can get drugs after all this effort maybe we should give up. It’s not like anyone who wants to do them can’t… look at all the overdoses

I bought my 2015 6S Plus in 2018 and it still works fine and gets updates in 2022. This was after a string of Androids, none much cheaper than the iPhone, that were out of support almost as soon as they launched. I got tired of the ever-growing list of patched vulnerabilities and missing features in newer Androids.

That’s what I’ve heard. In the US the two messaging standards are currently iMessage (Apple only) and SMS (everything).

Yes FB Messages and WhatsApp and Signal and Telegram and everything else exist. But none of them is anywhere big enough to be a default that everyone has.

So you often end up on iMessage or SMS.
I tried looking, and I find it very irritating that in that whole web page, there is not one single link in the menu/footer/sidebar to polyhaven.com home page so I can click and discover what it actually is. Not one.

This occurs on many company blogs as well operating under a subdomain like blog.whatever.com

To be clear, this is a very tangential and irrelevant nitpick and I understand it does not contribute to the content of the website itself.
> The interviewer laughed at my code, and then after going through the logic said "Wow I can't believe this actually works."

It’s fine. I’ve seen code from FAANGs that evoked the same reaction from me.
Google Is Working to Integrate Android with Windows
A dev's work is mental, a warehouse work is physical. I agree that the worker on warehouse have it tough, no denying there. However mental recovery takes longer that physical one.

I have a joke for you, goes something like this: "Big rich guy goes to Mexico for vacation. There he meets Julio, a simple worker who after work is drinking in the bar with his friends and enjoys a simple life. Rich guy asks why Julio doesn't work longer & harder to make more money.

Why?

So when you grow older to have time, like me, to enjoy life and party with friends.

I can party with my friends right now and enjoy life just as well"
> You can become so convinced that you need fear to excel that you fail to realize there's a better way.

But this is such an effective way of excelling. My fear of failure influences my output. Abstractly, perhaps we each need different kinds of stress that will push us in different ways. I embrace fear because it is exciting and uncomfortable and challenging. Without it I would be lethargic and lazy.
This website is one of the fastest web pages I’ve ever used. Although it’s simple, it immediately loads pages and pages of images. Like in a flash. I’m on mobile web and it’s such a snappy experience.
Just to make it clear: are small creators going to pay Youtube enough to keep an army of human claims checkers?

Youtube, being an effective monopoly due to the network effect, has no incentive to lower its profits by paying the (large) amount of salary to the prospective claims checkers.
> I get the impression that a lot of the critics in this thread don't really understand Cloudflare, how cheap it is, or even the concept of CDNs in general.

You’re talking past the point here. It doesn’t matter how cheap if you’re fundamentally opposed to enabling cloud flare to reach its meat hooks further into the Internet.

This is no different from arguments about embedding google analytics or “just paying for windows” instead of using Linux.

Do you have any recommendations for authentication services? I agree Cognito is not a good tool. However, it does integrate well with other AWS services (ex: Api gateway).

If there is a 3rd party service or tool that we can use instead of Cognito and if it also works well with other AWS services (Amplify, Api gateway) that would be awesome.

The Pentel EnerGel Alloy, at $5 a pop, is by far my favorite of the accessible pens. They write smoother than anything else I've tried, which is the most important factor in my mind. The silver barrel ones (combination of aluminum and plastic) are by far classier than any other $5 pen, but they're also $5, which means you never have to stress about losing one or giving them out. They're also sold at Walmart and the refills are plain old Pentel EnerGels, so very easy to use. Absolute 10/10 pens.
I haven't used Django so I can't comment about that. However, the latest Laravel Spark is now a totally separate part of your app that you don't control. It's super easy to implement, include the package, configure your packages and be done with that part of it. Then within your application you have a bunch of methods available on your billable object.

I'm really not doing it much justice, but the docs are pretty short and easy to read through: https://spark.laravel.com/docs/1.x/spark-stripe/plans.html

Officially, it isn't (e.g. it got ported to .NET Core). De facto, it is, but it still works just fine, as do WinForms, and all the tooling support is still there.

That said, I've mentioned WPF mostly because that's what I'm personally familiar with. The same inspector-type tooling is available for newer XAML-based frameworks, as well:

Because cloud flare administratively centralizes a solution that was previously distributed.

Guess what percentage of websites Cloudflare could take down in minutes if they decided?

It doesn’t matter if cloudflare itself uses a distributed architecture. It’s a massive central point of failure/malice.
Pen choice does seem to depend way more on which paper you prefer than I would have guessed before trying it.
It means always working, regardless of circumstance.

This might not seem like a problem while you're young and healthy, but as you age and enter the cohort of those who would like to retire, you start to be on the receiving end of discrimination, health issues and less work opportunities.

Hence why in many countries, there are mandatory retirement investments (in Australia we call it Superannuation). This catapults many workers (and would-be retirees) into the investor class. But, this is not a guarantee for all, and requires forethought.
BS. I 'deleted' my Facebook account years ago, but my GF still gets "Wish $first_name a happy $year-1900+$suffix birthday!" emails every January 1. The emails still include a thumbnail of the photo from my account.

Facebook doesn't delete shit. If you work at Facebook, you need to evaluate the ethical course of your life and career and reconsider the choices that led you to this place. There are other employers that pay almost as well and that don't treat 1984 like a mission statement.
