.. yes they do? It's not usually spelled out in those words, at least not on the "respectable" side of the preaching, but when there's a mass shooter manifesto the shooter usually makes clear their influences and sometimes gives them thanks and citations.

It's also often done in the past tense. Whenever there's a controversial shooting, hundreds of commentators will turn up to say "that person deserved to be shot".
"simulates engine temperature for electric locomotives"

As a first thought I imagined my laptop being heated up more when the locomotive does too... Technically even do-able I guess :)

Thanks for the list!
Rebooting does not fix any bugs, it just resets the state. I'm not sure this is really the better solution because many bugs never get fixed because "Have you tried turning it off and on, again?"
I'd rather be in a closed, "feudalistic" ecosystem of Apple or Google than deal with any carrier.
Do I read the decks properly, or do they have only 2331 subscribers for Q4 2021? This looks like a super low for such big valuations of their disruptive product.
This is really bad. This should be considered outright computer fraud. It's a lie to extort information from you. Although it's probably way too small and trivial for that, I'd really like to see this slapped down hard by a court.
In the startup I worked at in college, one of the most visible jobs our CEO did was talking with investors to get the next round of funding. He was also the top-level business strategy guy (for an example in a more mature company, look at the difference Nadella made to Microsoft's strategy relative to Ballmer), although implementation details were delegated to other roles (that he was responsible for hiring).
Alright, but was it any better when for example NYT employed the 'click-to-subscribe-call-to-cancel' model?
I remember that relatively well, because 13 years ago I used to trust them and was literally shocked when I had to spend 85 minutes and ~130 EUR on a 2009 international call.
Yes, let's make more substances illegal. It has worked really well in the past.

I understand not liking coffee, but calling for it to be illegal because _you_ don't like it is utter nonsense.

Aren't gyms generally famous for cashing in on people who sign up for memberships they never actually use? Seems like a genius plan to disrupt that tried and tested business model with a more efficient alternative where users buy the gyms for you so you don't need to maintain them.

I’m pretty sure our curtains are made out of some sort of plastic (polyester or w/e) since they looked good enough and had the best sound deadening/insulation properties
I would tell you to take that with a pinch of salt.

I've met people online and dated them. I've also met girls in other ways and dated them, now marrying one. Once or twice, well, we didn't quite want to tell other people how we met. So we didn't. We just said we met online. It's the perfect blow-off justification when you don't want to get into a perhaps complicated and messy story.

People meet in all sorts of ways. I used online dating for years but it was never the most successful strategy. What did work - meeting girls at events, in bars, ideally at events in bars, one or two less conventional ways, and never giving up.
Given SMSs bigger than 160 characters were sent as MMS, I wonder what will be the new UX in the SMS app when I reach the character limit.

Will my SMS be sent into multiple chunks? Will my system tell me it's over the character limit?
Open question. How easy would it be for Apple to build a Peloton competitor from scratch? Are there any real barriers to entry?
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have raised the alarm, as have other respected and Conservative voices. There is definitely a heightened risk right now, particularly because of the lack of respect of Russia.
I have my gripes about Peloton as a former employee (left back in November 2021), but this is just a hit piece. They're taking whatever facts that conveniently fits their narrative.
I thought that long messages were already chunked.

That’s easy. Your intent was for it to maybe shoot someone, and that is a criminal intent. If you had no such intent, it’s either accidental murder or no guilt (e.g. you built a robot that takes a heap of non-classy trash and throws it into a grinder; an intruder was grabbed by it accidentally because they weren’t well-dressed).

This discussion mistakes existing policies as some objective base, but it’s the other way round.
Er, mutatis mutandis!
Yeah you're right. This of course differs from person to person.

I was thinking about this article actually: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/jul/06/caffeine-coffee...

> In fact, none of the sleep researchers or experts on circadian rhythms I interviewed for this story use caffeine.

> Walker explained that, for most people, the “quarter life” of caffeine is usually about 12 hours, meaning that 25% of the caffeine in a cup of coffee consumed at noon is still circulating in your brain when you go to bed at midnight. That could well be enough to completely wreck your deep sleep.

> I thought of myself as a pretty good sleeper before I met Walker. At lunch he probed me about my sleep habits. I told him I usually get a solid seven hours, fall asleep easily, dream most nights.

> “How many times a night do you wake up?” he asked. I’m up three or four times a night (usually to pee), but I almost always fall right back to sleep.

> He nodded gravely. “That’s really not good, all those interruptions. Sleep quality is just as important as sleep quantity.” The interruptions were undermining the amount of “deep” or “slow wave” sleep I was getting, something above and beyond the REM sleep I had always thought was the measure of a good night’s rest. But it seems that deep sleep is just as important to our health, and the amount we get tends to decline with age.

It seems to argue that at night, the remaining caffeine in your system is not enough to be effective, but enough to hurt your sleep quality.
Most of them dont need machine learning.

Thats not very hard to restore, but what text are you going to put in? unless you're careful its going to be misleading.

which kinda leads to the greater point, when you "restore" something, colourise or up-res, you end up putting in anachronisms, something that should be there. Perhaps its better to have these photos in context, rather than "healed" with misleading data.
It is one of the things asked ("import it into blender"), sort of (yeah of course you have to export in advance using the original software). Mesh export is of course the most basic feature everything can do.

B-rep solid export (STEP) is also very much a thing, you can exchange solid models between Fusion, SOLIDworks, FreeCAD, etc. (and import them from PCB design software and so on)

But this is just baked geometry of course. It's not parametric. There is no standard for parametric models, there is no way to exchange them between different programs.

The UK had one mass shooting, twenty-five years ago, and chose to end the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_massacre

Mass shootings are a horror that the US is unwilling and unable to confront. Far too many people would simply prefer to listen to Alex Jones and imagine that it's all fake.
It is the better solution because it delineates the difference between important data that must be preserved, and not important data that can be thrown out and regenerated (turning it off and on again).

Systems that eliminate this difference massively increase the damage surface of your data by forcing both kinds to be treated equally and even intermix. And since software will always have bugs, your fallout damage increases exponentially.

It's a lot like naive state saving code that just dumps an in-memory struct to disk: The moment that struct changes (adding/removing/changing a type or size), your load code breaks.

I don't think it's as simple as either/or. I think we're headed towards Belarus exactly because our current system is performing so so poorly.

I'm 37, I've never missed a vote except for 1 for London Mayor. I almost didn't bother last time. I'm just done with the whole system. Theres never been an election where the new government actually did anything for people like me (and I am very average). My vote has never counted (I've lived in three different safe seats). And I think our government is so poorly run, that frankly, a randomly selected general who happened to seize power could do no worse.

That's how you end up with Belarus: Run democracy so badly, so undemocratically and produce such poor governments that people just stop believing.

That's my complaint here: it's not that I think we're too democratic, it's that we're neither democratic nor effective but because we occasionally hold "elections" people just blindly accept the undemocratic shitshow.
Thanks for sharing, it's great to see you grow!

On a side note, I found it super interesting that a lot of startups use Notion as a careers site. I believe a careers site is one of the most important pages of any company's online communication. Do you guys use it because is fast / convenient to update and add / delete content?

You give no examples. Also I'm in the UK and can't remember the last time anyone was killed for trespass or other minor violations (okay, one or two over a decade I think).

You give no examples. Post some evidence, overall numbers of such cases, details please.

You give no examples - post summary details.

The US is not 'the West'. Perhaps you'd like to consider the UK, Germany, Scandinavia....

I suspect you're right in thinking honour killings aren't common (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_killing_in_Pakistan#Pre...> "The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan lists 460 cases of reported honour killings in 2017, with 194 males and 376 females as victims"), but it's the extreme point of a pervasively oppressive/intolerant system which can ruin lives without actually killing people.

A trade-off solution could be to turn the hole color from black to a gray that match the average tone from the perimeter area surrounding it. The hole would be less noticeable at the first sight and would allow people to focus in the rest of the photo.
Yes, these days it's hard to see actual investments on PC as a platform. Everyone has been cultivating their own walled gardens for the past 20 years, and now that a corporation tries to make profit off an open platform there's a lot of doubt and pessimism. Actual Stockholm Syndrome.

I'd rather have a handheld PC based on Linux than a closed, warranty-void-if-opened box from the other players such as Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft.
Coffee affects folks differently. I've never noticed a particular pick-me-up from it or other caffeinated beverages, and haven't noticed a difference in sleep quality even if drinking before bed. I do get jitters or an upset stomach if I've had too much. I tend to drink a cup every few hours most days, but some days simply forget to drink as much. My father, on the other hand, really couldn't drink caffeine after noon-ish and expect to fall asleep that night. I've met folks that can drink a lot without seeming jittery and yet other folks can use coffee itself as a laxative.
I'm assuming that is wrong. They laid of 2800 staff in Q1 and they all had subscriptions which were continued for 12 months as part of their severance.
I know there are PR agencies that get paid for a "personal branding promotion" that get you in a top X list of Forbes for some amount of money.

The founder of Helbitz, Salvatore Palella, was one of them. He paid an agency and they push Forbes magazine to have its photo in the cover.
Please don't assume that wherever you live is the same as the rest of the world. SMS messages are not exactly unusual in Switzerland, and I've had at least a few friends prefer them in most every other country I've been as well. Naturally, MMS are somewhat less common due to WhatsApp's convenience for group and media messages, but conventional text messaging is almost mandatory for many 2FA services such as the vaccine portals in some cantons, banking, etc.

For instance, SMS seems to be preferred for online selling platforms in which only a phone number is exchanged. It's strange to add a stranger to your contacts for a one-time transaction, so I've often been contacted by SMS or email.

I remember just a couple of weeks ago a tweet from Forbes Spain saying unemployment in Spain was going down (https://twitter.com/Forbes_es/status/1486640126071480320). It felt outrageous as Spain currently has the highest unemployment rate in the European Union (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1115276/unemployment-in-...). We are currently living under a totalitarian government and it saddened me that Forbes was yet another media paid by our totalitarian government covering their shit.
I don´t know why, but for some reason Forbes was in my mind as an economic-freedom newspaper like. But as the title says, it´s just another platform for for scams, grift, and bad journalism as the other media payed y the government like El País.
I use it for all the people I know where we don't share a common proprietary messanging app. I have friends that refuse to use Facebook so don't have WhatsApp. I have friends who are devoted to Apple and don't have anything other than iMessage.

I sometimes need to send these people photos of something.
In spirit it's to take big bets on things that may not work; the transistor radio, the microprocessor. The eventual goal is to push forward something potentially for the social welfare such as say a logarithm table or star catalog in an earlier time.

Companies like Uber or Netflix don't do this. They're platform for rent-seeking of services or durable goods (or perhaps call it "assisted living for people under 60")

Tech investing (big bets in say, a new solar panel manufacturing technique) has really been replaced with very conventional investing that uses technology (a platform to say rent panels out and have the rental fees paid by the power sold back to the utility company).

Sand Hill Road has lost its mojo. I'm part of the problem. The rentier multisource funding model sounds way more attractive to me then some technical way to reduce manufacturing costs by say 80%.

Our minds have been polluted. We need to get back to the fundamentals and avoid the lemon squeezing extractive stuff. That's not how we move things forward and it's part of the reason many people have lost faith in capitalism; it's become too much a siphoning of the commons instead of a servicing to it. It needs a reorientation.

Firebase is usually the default. It's not as simple as it looks and can be a little costly, but it's well supported.

If it's just CRUD, Parse Server is much faster to set up and cheaper. It's was open sourced by FB and suddenly everyone lost interest as it was no longer a resume item.

The problem is that the carriers are in control of it and you never know what you’re going to get at the end, if anything. The media may get recompressed several times along the way. The infrastructure involved is also ancient and poorly maintained, lots of “unknown unknowns” that can cause trouble.
> The blocky 128x48 monochrome resolution of the TRS-80 was of course quite limiting but also part of its charm.

Yeah from memory, the pixel graphics were _really_ lores, but the text characters relatively hires. Something like only 6 big blocky (non square) pixels in the space a character took.

Some games would use animated ascii chars instead of pixels because of this. Other computers would often have text chars made up of the base pixels - eg 8x8 pixels in the space of a character.

Sometimes it does, but people vary wildly in how they react to caffeine.

I don't notice a difference in sleep - I tend to wake up well-rested about 75-85% of the time (A monthly cycle of hormones definitely affects sleep and wakefulness). I've experimented, and drink more than 3 cups. I also don't get the pick-me up some folks get.

My father drank more than 3 cups per day - my parents would split a pot of coffee between them - but he drank decaf after noon. If he didn't stop caffeine, he couldn't fall asleep at night.
> should be illegal

What I hear when you say this is "I don't like it, so nobody should have it". This is egocentric.
Exactly. But this technique only allows you to get land that's exactly at sea level, so dikes are absolutely necessary.

This also means you need drainage systems to remove the water from already reclaimed land, as it's still exactly at sea level and will be relatively wet marshland otherwise.

Coffee is weird for me. It doesn't really wake me up, but I get sleep issues if I drink it too late in the day.
