I was a pretty staunch opponent of the iPad for a very long time. Tablets were clearly a consumption device, and I've always disliked Apple's penchant for proprietary connectors.

However, things have shifted enough that on the artistic/creative front, the iPad is actually a really nice thing to have. When the iPad Air 4 (I think? The iPad ecosystem has terrible nomenclature) came out, it not only had a USB-C connector, but worked with the Apple Pencil 2. I did something I thought I'd never do - I bought an iPad.

There are music & synthesizer apps that only make sense on a tablet, and they can talk with other music apps on the iPad pretty seamlessly too these days. And with the Apple Pencil 2, it's like a magic art pad. I've been sketching and drawing and 'painting' like I haven't done in 20 years.

And I can charge it with the same cable that charges my Pixel 6, my work-issued Macbook pro, or my wife's Thinkpad's power supply.

It certainly took long enough, but I no longer think that iPads are pure consumption devices.

Now... would I try to use it the way I use a laptop? Oh, hell no.
It's very sad that this perfectly reasonable comment is getting downvoted.
Well other than GPS being unavailable right ?

Another question are your looking into having same day settlement?
Does that include governments? Or is there no objective standard -- the mis/disinformation is whatever the (local/state/federal) government is not currently supporting?

It's obviously a slippery slope approaching censorship this way.

Mis/disinformation should not be conceived of as skeptical questioning that may lead to dumb people making bad choices. That's a level of second-guessing and faux-benign concern that cannot guide policies of censorship. Skeptical questioning, dialog, and debate is more beneficial for society than it is dangerous to dumb people (who are high-risk even without overhearing the speculative conversations of others). There is some level of acceptable risk, whether it's vehicular traffic, or allowing people to speak their mind.

Think about the societal product of ten years living where skepticism of government is effectively outlawed vs a government routinely subjected to open skepticism. I think the latter is a stronger society.
Yes, I've read the first study, and it is a review of all the material surrounding Novamin and suggests there should be more research. There should always be more research, but I still contend the research on Novamin is quite solid as is. Other studies have shown it does infer remineralization properties (when compared to fluoride alone).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3422065/

I have also read about BioMin, but I am a bit skeptical on it. It seems to be more of a "slow release fluoride" that sort of sticks to the teeth and releases the fluoride ions over the day. While Novamin is a true "bioglass" formula. The link you provided to Biomin claims that because Novamin on it's own contains no fluoride and requires the addition of fluoride into the toothpaste I think is a weak one. Biomin appears to be a simple bond of the molecules of calcium, phosphate and fluoride.

Nonetheless, they do have some impressive studies, but I didn't see one where they compared Biomin _directly_ to a formula of Novamin + sodium fluoride or a similar combination of Novamin and fluoride in the same formula, simply comparing Novamin to Biomin - which already contains fluoride. I might give it a try at some point. It's a novel compound.
https://www.biomin.co.uk/professional-information/clinical-s...

According to a short writeup on quora, the claim was made that because the FDA regulates toothpaste as a drug, whereas in Europe it's regulated as cosmetic, GSK would have to prove Novamin had the properties it claimed and would have to go through many clinical trials, as any new drug on the market would be required to do. So, because of the expense of this, they simply pulled it off the US market.

have you ever listened to a full session of Rogan? This is pretty much the opposite of what he does. He has thoughtful conversations with a variety of people, including Bernie Sanders. He talks like normal people do when having a conversation.
"But if you don't have enough money in the bank, then the bank charges you. So it's actually more expensive to be poor than it is to be rich, and the richer you are, the faster you become richer."

Not only banking, everything is more expensive, when you are poor.

Miss a payment, because the money was gone before the end of month? You still have to pay it fully, plus fees.

Can only afford a old car? Pay more with repairs and tax.

You need money but have low bank reputation? Pay way higher interest rate - if you are lucky to even get the loan.

You get screwed over, but cannot afford a lawyer? Bad luck.

Etc. etc.

I found just cutting it out to work best rather than wean off if it. It sucks for about a week, but overall quiting caffeine was harder. Just don't have any lying around and don't go to the store to buy more. I had trouble sleeping for a few days, I was kinda irritable but it wore off pretty quick.

Good luck!

I'm talking about the word "defund" in the vernacular. Which, for many people, absolutely does also imply abolish or eliminate.

As a thought experiment, I'm going to conjure a slogan: "Defund the Humane Society".

What is the first thing that comes to mind? I expect most people would think "you want to get rid of the animal shelter?" And I would reply, "no what I actually want is to re-allocate money from the euthanasia program so that we can have increased adoption rates and make this a no-kill shelter."

Putting aside the vernacular implications of "defund", my slogan is totally ineffective at actually capturing what I am trying to accomplish. And, it has the added downside of giving people a terrible and inaccurate first impression.
I feel like this technique would be much more successful for body horror genre.
Reading is hard. So i quoted it this time:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917

> communists Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, Cablegate whistleblower Chelsea Manning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The rest is just repeating what i said.

Except you call Assange a journalist. If he would have redacted names, he probably would have been in a lot less trouble ( just repeating myself again).

To be honest, a lot of what Assange leaked should have been done. But he was a literal idiot leaking names unredacted and endangering people.

It was literally real journalists that made Assange his previous leaks ok for publishing, Assange just had to forward documents.
I meant for like, you know, regular people.

Also, I'd be curious to know where you get your numbers from - simply because numbers for total comp (across all companies) seems hard to come by. One can't go by what's posted on levels.fyi of course, because that's skewed heavily towards people who have ... something to brag about.
Call me an authoritarian, but I think it is okay to suppress "free speech" like "let's gather at this location on 9/11 to learn methods used by $VIOLENT_TERRORIST_GROUP" or "kill all $ETHNIC_GROUP".

At least, I am not aware of a single government that allows such speech. Are you?

Sounds like an RSS feed issue.
Sure it will reduce his audience, but it won't change anything. These liberals who want to cancel Rogan will just move on to the next ineffectual cancellation. Joe Rogan will still have a podcast somewhere else which will be more resistant to cancellation agenda people, he's not going to stop or get cancelled lol.
Genuinely interested...Why does that bother you?

I think it's well-known that Amazon doesn't provide in-house meals and haircuts and kombucha like many of the SV companies. Personally it's something I appreciate because it makes the area around the office a bit more lively with more foot traffic and private businesses catering to the office workers.
Exercise triggers many of the same receptors and may function as a substitute.
Is this an attempt at humor? If so, it fell flat for me. Tech and finance workers are some of the most highly-compensated people in the world today. Comparing them to Roman slaves, who were considered property, had no freedom of movement, and were subject to brutal corporal punishment, shows a callous disregard for the real human suffering occurring around the world.

Sounds good, until you get to the last two hypotheticals, which sound awful.
this artist has captured so many of the aesthetic qualities of these classic cover images here. One that is missing, I noticed, is the quality of sparking my imagination, or the evocation of a world. There's nothing in those images that is connecting with me on that kind of level.

Which makes me wonder if this is a problem with many/most of the AI images one sees. I think so?
This is a great comment. And of course you're aware that I largely agree with it.

So with that proviso, all I will say in response is that I think it would be helpful to consider the opposing view point:

If the goal is to elicit an emotional or political response that one desires through one's actions, why should perfect, literal truth be in the way of achieving those goals?

My answer to that is that it destroys good faith and good faith is never worth sacrificing. Never. I literally can't think of one instance where mutual understanding exists and I would consider sacrificing good faith. So for me that's what the kettle of fish boils down to, and quite frankly it's one of the main reasons I'm happy I no longer date the person I mentioned above, even if she was otherwise wonderful and my ticket into many fancy parties.

I'd rather have someone honest.
"The accredited investor rules in USA seem draconian"

Think carefully about what the word "draconian" means. There is no organization that is responsible for tracking or allowing membership in the club of "accredited investors." This article suggests 1 in 10 USA households meets the definition:

https://dqydj.com/accredited-investors-in-america/

Look around on Google and you will find many different estimates. Since there is no central organization that actually tracks this number, it is impossible to point to an official number.

If an unaccredited investor invests in a small startup, there is no penalty for the investor. Because of that, I would not use the word "draconian."
They're already monetizing it by 1) charging for more storage 2) making it extremely easy and painless to upgrade to Google Workspace. Zero training needed.
Personally I know examples of both, but again just anecdotal.
Who can, with a straight face, call Facebook left leaning? At this point, the platform exists solely to spread conservative talking points.
From the outside looking in Tines looks to be a less feature rich and much more expensive version of Zapier (almost like a VC had the idea of building a Zapier clone and slapping a ridiculous price on it along with some "security" verbiage to spur the interest of larger businesses who see a $99/mo product and instantly believe it's not enterprise ready).

I do not see a way to automate most of my side projects given the free plan limitations and for an individual the pricing is a non-starter.
What statement or two in this writeup could be proven false in a libel suit?
Tbh, he's a self-professed moron and he commonly states that people should not take what he says seriously. If people want to go ahead and be stupid and take his word as gospel, then that's on them. I'll listen to whatever medical people he has on and take what they're saying into consideration, but idk why anyone would ever take Joe Rogan's medical advice...

Although he is right that there should be more focus on holistic approaches to help instead of just "TAKE THIS FUCKING VACCINE OR ELSE", which is kind of what it has been here in Canada. Meanwhile a large percentage of Canadian (and obviously Americans) are overweight, eat like shit, and don't exercise at all. All things which significantly increase the chances that someone, even if they're young, will have adverse effects from the COVID virus.
Except that isn't what he apologized for at all. It requires "irrational, even magical thinking" to interpret his words that way.

From Rogan [1]:

“the most regretful and shameful thing that I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.”

“horrible, even to me.”

“I was trying to make the story entertaining and I said it was like we got out and we were in Africa. It’s like we were in ‘Planet of the Apes,’” he said, adding that it was an “idiotic” thing to say that “looks terrible even in context.”

Knowing that this is clearly off topic here, one thing that crossed my mind wrt myocarditis amongst the vaccinated is this: amongst athletes, myocarditis is clearly linked to exercising (or even competing) while dealing with an infection (not limited to Covid19 at all, other than that this one seems to be particularly nasty). The risk of inflammation rises when when athletic stress and infection stress (or immune reaction stress, apparently) coincide. This is common knowledge amongst athletes, most would have taken a break from training even if no doctor ever mentioned it.

But we do seem to see an uptick not only amongst the infected but also amongst the vaccinated (note: I do believe that infection is much worse, but vaccinated to infected are roughly 80:20, so it tends to look kind of even). What if the risk of myocarditis was not so much caused by coincidence of training intensity and immune stress but also by coincidence of immune stress and whatever happens during training recovery (when the body does the actual work of adaption, you don't get better during training, you get better afterwards)? When you tell an athlete that they get their shot on Wednesday and they should better take some rest days afterwards, it's as predictable as Wham in December that they will throw in some serious training load on Tuesday. Chances are they'll train extra hard so that they need those rest days anyways. (for me it was Sunday/Monday)

Now the thing I find particularly interesting about this speculation: if this mechanism was real, myocarditis risk not from high training load coinciding with immune stress but/also from immune stress coinciding with post-load recovery, it would be highly unlikely that we'd know about it. Because with naturally occurring immune stress, we don't ever have a clearly defined point in time when it started, and we certainly wouldn't ever deliberately schedule it so that we could arrange for training load to happen right before.
You don’t charge in the mornings as well? Charging both before and after sleep is the common pattern I’ve read when using it for sleep tracking.
When have you realized you did a bad thing and then publicly apoligized about it thus drawing more attention to it?
Yes, it's not like the groups traditionally considered marginalized are underrepresented in popular music. What are they going to spend that $100 million on? Anglican bell-ringers and Appalachian skiffle groups?
I've been emailing and tweeting spotify since that podcast section showed up to get it the hell out of my sight or give me the option to do it myself, and they always point to feature requests or say they've sent along the feedback but it's nonsense. I have a family plan though and I've been putting off the discussion of "We're moving away from Spotify, prepare your playists etc."

> I'm serious, do you know how much infrastructure is required to deliver Netflix streams globally?

According to Netflix, an hour of streaming is 100g CO2e: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/net-zero-nature-our-climat...

Estimates vary about Bitcoin's exact cost but they generally come in on the order of kilograms per transaction, and because far, far more actual people use Netflix than use Bitcoin for real activity a fair fraction of those transactions are overhead rather than a single economic transaction.

> > Nobody says they love [NFTs]... [it's not] as entertaining as watching Netflix.

> These people like making money and they derive pleasure from it. How's that any different from 'watches TV and derives pleasure from it'? It's not.

This was explained in the parts you elided. If people were doing this out of some aesthetic appreciation for random hashes, we'd know because they would be talking about that. Instead the sales pitch is always about the things they can do after cashing out into hard currency. There are almost certainly some people who define themselves on making a number go up but they're not represented at all in the marketing material.
Signal is high up, but matrix is higher in my book.

It doesn't account for the option that the Earth is stationary and the sky is spinning, much it like it would be implemented in a game or CGI scenes for example.

Gyroscopes can rule this out as well since they're showing rotational change directly.

The overwhelming lesson of the preceding four-year administration is that everything is political. You may ignore politics, but rest assured, politics doesn't ignore you. Bad things tend to happen when you try.

I am not a lawyer but I would guess that if Spotify were to delete Joe's videos in a way that breaches his contract then he could move elsewhere. I have no idea what is in his contract or if that is even considered.
Indeed I do pay a DNS tax, and I did setup a proper SPF record (not DKIM since it is overkill/unreasonable: if your smtp server is pown, DKIM does not bring anything more than SPF as far as I can recall except complex kludge).
That said, SMTP was designed with the possibility to avoid the DNS tax: instead of a domain use [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] for an ipv4 or [IPv6:...] for an ipv6.

It ran up against the people who very much want to control things and turned out not to have a plan for that. The dot com boom attracted attention.

And I think the proponents of that era have moved on as well. The big takeaway for me was that Meatspace Rules Everything Around Me and I ignore it at my peril.
As an additional data point - I've read Anathem multiple times and have loved it every time but I read The Book of the New Sun series and really disliked it (though to be fair, I only read TBotNS series once). But I know that TBotNS gets great reviews. So as always with books, your mileage may vary.
"Some Chinese students in the U.S. often don't realize that it's possible to be both victim and oppressor at the same time,"

Oppression is like domestic abuse: being the victim of it makes you more likely to perpetrate it yourself, not less.
I will consider myself an accomplished person the day I'm able to understand this post :)

Imagine that you live in a starless void. Could you still prove that the earth spins?

Yes, simply point the gyroscope towards an arbitrary direction and repeat the same process as in the proof.

If the earth doesn't spin, then the gyroscope would point at the same direction always. But if it does spin then it would show those circles.
This is a bit of kitchen sink argument-- it was a long time ago! young people actually don't need the vaccine! he's just sharing his perspective! British people couldn't get vaccinated in April!

None of which addresses the claim in OP that people calling Joe Rogan "anti-vaxx" are "outright lying".

It is anti-vaccine to encourage young people not to get vaccinated. Simple as that.
I went to your homepage. So I can pay for a server to run backups and apps? The problem is that I have heard of exactly 0 of the apps you highlighted.

Excluding backups, essentially the pitch is, 'Pay us money to run a server to serve apps you have never heard of.' Are Element, Jellyfin, NextCloud things you expect your target customers to know about?

My perception is that Plex is moderately well known, I suggest you highlight that.

Agreed on the Dutch oven! For cookware like that, the second hand marketplace is the way to go. You can find them in excellent condition quite frequently as they’re so heavy that people sometimes won’t move with them.
Exactly - they won't just lose their user base in Europe - a lot of their consumer base outside Europe will then be motivated to start using these competitors to keep up with their friends and family (plus influencers) in Europe.

They've bought companies to keep from having to face competition in their network effect. I doubt they'll let segmentation of surveillance data push them out of that large of a market.
