My thinking has evolved somewhat in this. There's a big difference between a standard and an integrated platform where the client is under control of the server operator, and can guarantee timely updates for changes in the messaging protocols.

Jabber is nowhere to be found today, yet we have a plethora of messaging services, perhaps most notably WhatsApp, which seems to have word domination.

There are big consumer advantages here, in addition to the known disadvantages.
One piece of evidence might be the invasion of various government buildings a year ago to try and overturn an election in a country that was considered to have one of the most stable societies, and nearly 50% of voters supporting it.

Another might be the fall of various democracies back into dictatorship such as Hungary and Turkey.

Offering an easily skippable option during setup is not the same thing as the intentional dark patterns common on other platforms.

>In this report, we analyze a sample of settings in Facebook, Google and Windows 10, and show how default settings and dark patterns, techniques and features of interface design meant to manipulate users, are used to nudge users towards privacy intrusive options.

The findings include privacy intrusive default settings, misleading wording, giving users an illusion of control, hiding away privacy-friendly choices, take-it-or-leave-it choices, and choice architectures where choosing the privacy friendly option requires more effort for the users.

In Indiana they seem to be making a comeback. I have seen them on specialty menus a few times, but I find them to be awful. I am not a picky eater, and have sampled some other things in this list like ramps, but I don't think I will eat a paw paw again. Maybe I haven't had them prepared properly, but they seem like a Depression food. My grandpa talks about eating them when he was little, and I have only seen them resurrected in niche settings.
Double the data may not be worth 30-50% more money to NASA. Going from no data of type X to 1 data of type X is worth a lot more than going from 1 to 2, and so the leap from 1 to 2 might just not be worth it, even if it is 50% cheaper than the leap from 0 to 1.

The site is disingenuous. There have been far more than two service incidents. Around 2015 there were many periods where transactions simply weren't clearing at all due to overload, and there was no way to set a correct tx fee because the fee needed to get to the front of the queue was constantly changing and wallets couldn't inform users of what the current fee was anyway. From the user's perspective these were outages.
> the benefits of a second one would be marginal compared to the benefits of the first one.

This can't be true.

The benefit of the JWST is the observations it can make Two JWSTs can make twice as many observations as one, so it provides twice the benefit.

In some sense there is a diminishing return in that the most important observations will be attempted first, and and over time the average observation will be less and less important. But surely there is many decades of pent up very important research!

Just changing my search habits helped a lot in in finding results quickly and managing the SEO spam for both DDG and Google.

I'm using Julia for a project right now, and answers are almost always found in either the Julia Discourse forum or Stack Overflow. By just searching either of those directly (plus more carefully reading the official documentation) I have found what I'm looking for much more easily.

The situation is more difficult with Python because the community aspect is more dispersed. But because my questions almost always have to do with using the standard library of external libraries, I've found devdocs.io to the be much simpler and more direct, especially because it runs offline. It covers >90% of cases for me with the docs for numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas, and base Python.

Maybe SEO spam forcing us back to RTFM will actually be a force for good?

The OSS maintainer has no responsibilities at all so you are right. But if anyone was to blame, it's certainly the library. It's outrageous to radically change a function while keeping the name the same. Because of exactly this issue. If they renamed it you would get an exception which is much nicer.

I was actually really excited to see this project pop up, because I am on a tenkeyless keyboard and so I can't use the built-in mouse keys functionality. It's funny that so many of the accessibility features in Windows are really opinionated and can't have their keys rebound. Mode switching to HJKL-as-mouse is just a preference for me, but I could imagine there are types of mobility disabilities where repositioning your hands any time you want to emulate a mouse could be difficult and frustrating. What's the point in MS making great built in tools that can't be modified to your own use cases?
Right, that's pretty different from mouseable's demo, which looks like you push keys in the same way you'd push a gamepads' arrow keys. I don't have a windows pc to try mouseable though.

Tesla shipped 900k cars in 2021. That’s extreme growth from 2020. If they grow they same this year, by the end of it, they’ll sell more than any other automaker, and if they continue into 2023, they might end up selling more than all other automakers combined.

Leaving this aside, there is also the idea that Tesla is a battery company that just happens to put them mostly on cars. So there could be massive growth beyond that.

Then you check Ford, and it sells less cars each year.

So Tesla valuation is huge, with the expectation of it taking over the whole automotive market by 2024…

The moment this expectation disappears, it’s price will correct itself.
> 100M tokens, mostly held by 0x1c8e38a96292134bd38752376fa8f1a5d1edd443

This is the most fascinating thing about these crypto projects: Somehow, the artificially large "market cap" number actually works in their favor to attract more people. A coin with a $220 million market cap looks like it's popping. Yet even the slightest attention to details shows that it couldn't be further from the truth.

In this case, they hold 99.9658% of all coins.

The next largest holder is PancakeSwap with 0.0164%

After that, the next largest holder has 0.0031% of all coins with 3,060 Pirate Token.

Nobody could possibly be interested in these coins for anything other than rolling that dice and seeing what happens next. Just don't be the last person in the hype chain.

Siemens Gigaset smartphones are made in Bocholt, Germany. I think Siemens is the last of the big consumer mobile manufacturers with any manufacturing in Europe to speak of.

Yeah I was reading some articles and was going to edit my comment to reflect that. Last I read, ostrich ferns were still suspect but there wasnt so much evidence suggesting they were carcinogenic either.

Part of the confusion over ostrich ferns are periodic incidents of poisonings they can't explain. But in those cases, there usually are undercooked fiddleheads involved.

But yes, ostrich ferns are probably ok, or at least are less of a concern, if cooked.
> People seem to conflate decentralization with anarchy.

Heh, I’m sorry I guess I phrased that badly. I’m saying there is an authority in all anarcho-x-isms, one which proponents ignore.

My intention was to suggest an analogy of that hidden authority in blockchains, in that everything blockchain can do, can also be done cheaper by having a trusted party do the conventional stuff, and in some cases — such as legal disputes, where you have to bring in a trusted mediator — you end up with all the weaknesses of both the conventional approach and blockchain.

> I'd like to be able to not even have to think about this happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/pywwnp/how...

We all would, but blockchains don’t prevent that. If anything it makes the problem more likely, because the current status quo is reversible in a court when sufficient evidence is supplied, but in the blockchain, possession of the private key is ownership.

Private keys get lost and stolen all the time even for relatively trivial things; in the case of property ownership, even if the private key is permanently offline — e.g. existing only in the form of a QR code on a sheet of paper in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard” — for something as valuable as property, you can bet it would be stolen.

With omicron 2 doses still don't give you much protection. (25% effective) One booster is good, but still ~55% effective. (UK stats) Then you get immunocompromised people and older population where breakthrough infections are still very dangerous.

> eugenics

You didnt wear a mask before the pandemic which spreads deadly flu and other respiratory diseases so you're contributing to eugenics which is very callow of you.

It's not eugenics if it's naturally present in the environment like covid or the flu.

> The US constitution, among others, was written as part of a philosophical tradition in which protection of society's most vulnerable was a high moral value

The constitution said colored people were 2/3 of a person, slaves, and women weren't allowed to vote. Not sure you want to go down that road.

> What they will rule on is whether it is permissible under the constitution to take action that will trade off one group's freedoms for another's.

Well that's the fundamental argument.

Does protecting the tiny fraction of those vulnerable to Covid warrant the vast majority of society giving up their freedoms.

You say it does others say it doesn't.

The fact that the Lakers are playing in an arena and Coachella is happening means society as a whole gave your line of thinking a chance...realized it didn't work..and decided you're wrong.

>You haven't provided one shred of evidence calling those vaccines' efficacy (or safety) into question.

If two thirds of the population is vaccinated and case counts haven't decreased but in fact have have DOUBLED thats very suspicious sounding to me.

>That is an extremely callow position,

Did you wear a mask before the pandemic to protect immunocomprosed children and granny from the flu which kills tens of thousands per year?

If not, that seems like pretty callow behavior of you. Who knows how many people died as a result of you passing on a disease. You really should wear a mask and ideally quarantine as much as possible forever to minimize risk to others.
ESA and CSA to name a couple. Probably also lots of other uncredited, small cross-institutional interactions. Not to mention all the details of the launch.

Agreed. I know a lot of it is busing - they have to bus elementary kids then the MS/HS kids. But it should be switched at least. Young kids get up early, older kids don't.

Regardless, school in general should start later, and so should businesses. If I'm left to my own devices without external factors, I will go to sleep at 2am and get up at 10am. And that's what I did during the lockdowns. But otherwise, its punishing when I have to get up at 7am to be at work at 8 or 9.

How? They can't. My PC, laptop and phone can't mine bitcoin.

The way to achieve true decentralization is ASIC resistant mining algorithms and some form of diminishing returns to force miners to operate at small to medium scales. We need lots and lots of small miners running on commodity hardware that people already own, not a few large scale operations running on expensive custom silicon.
>Servicing of engine internals. A car would be down on power significantly after 10 years of wear and can be restored by adjust valve clearances, replacing seals and piston rings, cleaning parts, etc.

This has been functionally debunked by hundreds and hundreds of YouTube videos by dozens of channels who buy bangers and put them on a dyno.

At 10 years, usually only 3-5% power reduction. 20 years? More like 5-6%.

I have thought for a while now that VR would allow for this kind of training. You essentially control a large proportion of the input and can measure the output.
