> I wouldn't buy one, would you?

Absolutely! In a heartbeat. Because I know it's a tool to enhance my driving, not replace me, and I still need to pay attention.

I already have an add-on for my car that gives me level 3 on the freeway (no hands on the wheel needed). I still keep my hand on the wheel though and I still pay attention, but it definitely helps because I don't have to use brain power staying in the lane or maintaining speed. I can give 100% of my brain power to looking for danger.
You are speculating. A self-driving taxi, bus or truck service might not find having controls important.
Exactly! Brian Holt did this effectively in his (excellent) React course for Frontend Masters. He started off by introducing his dogs... And then built a pet adoption app. Brilliant, lots of hooks (literal and figurative) involving cute puppies literally built in to the project.
While I agree with the statement 100%, I believe it is rather unfortunate.

> On behalf of everyone in the blender.org organization I hereby fully and loudly condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I do too. The issue is that this has nothing to do with the mission of the Blender Foundation, nor with free software. It's an important (in fact, more important) but different issue.

FLOSS organizations taking a political stance on completely unrelated issues is something we've seen many times. It's an issue because it becomes a "package deal": people should be able to put their forces (and their money) together towards a common goal without having to agree on any other issue.

The statement is one I agree with, but it belongs on a personal blog, not on blender.org. Those who support and endorse the Blender Foundation are expressing agreement with its mission, not with whatever other political view Ton (or others) may have, now or in the future.

I especially admired the Blender Foundation for its neutrality and focus on its mission, without failure for two decades. But now I think it has made the same mistake as other FLOSS organizations.
But you will not be able to read the CD anymore after some years.

Right, because the purpose of Israel is to be a Jewish state with a majority Jewish population to protect its Jewish residents from genocides, pogroms, blood libels, and other things that have been done to them for 2 millennia.
You do know you don't have to have your own troops in a specific area for it to be a tactical asset, right?

This helps, but it's still pretty high-level. Investment education could mean a lot of things, and it's not quite clear how people interact with the product.

Also, I have somewhat of a shady knee-jerk reaction when I hear about any stock-analysis-tools-to-help-you-make-money. I always think "if this is such a great system, why don't you keep it a secret and use it yourself with your own money or money you've raised?" If getting a few dollars a week from a bunch of people is more lucrative than using the tool internally, how valuable can the tool be?

Just my 2¢!
There is no point. Data is mirrored in both raw ( .OSM.pbf) and processed form (i.e. OsmAnd, MAPS.ME map packages) all around the world (both current and historical data). You'd only draw attention to all the stuff.

Yep, the reason why the OG iPod was shaped/sized the way it was, is due to the form factor of commodity laptop hard drives. I forget, but I think the OG iPod had a firewire connector (sort of the equivalent of today's Thunderbolt 3/4), which allowed the owner to use the iPod as a portable hard drive. Most macs had at least one firewire port.
Yeah they should be using prefabulated ammulite casing...jokes aside vinyl shouldn't sound worse than CD et al at all. They just cost a halfway fortune to get working.
He said that Russia doesn't plan on invading any countries and that Russia hasn't even invaded Ukraine... which is very concerning for us in Romania.
> laws that are blatantly discriminatory.

It's Israel, who's surprised.

> Israel is slowly losing its support in the free democratic world where people believe in the inalienable universal rights of individuals and are less and less willing to turn a blind eye to such institutionalized racism.

If using tanks against children throwing rocks or white phosphorus bombs over civilians didn't do it I doubt anything will. I'd recommend you to get in touch with a Palestinian and ask them about their life. Israel has been committing war crimes every now and then for decades, they're smarter than the Russians though, they do it bit by bit.

Talking about discrimination, don't read about their border control interrogations, if you have an arab sounding name, talked to a person with an arab sounding name or visited cities with a large arab population during your stay be ready to spend 4 hours in a small room with a few unpleasant people asking you about every single minutes of your trip.
Even though it’s possible to deduce, I think it would still be helpful to indicate temperature units (C/F).

It's on by default since 2018 and not very configurable, you can toggle it on a per site basis in the site settings of a site via the "ads" permission for that site.

I would take this argument more seriously if paid subscriptions didn't also include ads.
I think if your model of the economy assumes it amounts to a zero sum game you have definitely missed something.

As time passes, human beings capture energy and use it to do work, and - against all thermodynamic probability - in doing so they locally reverse the inexorable entropy gradient of the universe and create value, by arranging atoms in useful structures, constructing useful or amusing arrangements of information, or transporting matter or information from one place to another where they might be more useful.

This means that the world tomorrow is a little bit better, in some ways, than today. It contains a bit more utility.

And we keep making more people and finding more useful ways for them to spend their time and our collective efforts make it look like that trend of arranging matter and data into ever more useful forms will continue into the future.

(Of course, we do need to consider that this growth trajectory does rather depend on us not screwing up and breaking the systems that sustain us and enable us to continue surviving and thriving, so please don’t take this as a naive assumption that infinite growth without consequences is just inevitable)

But basically, if there’s always more work to do, and more value to create, and more benefits to distribute, every day…

… surely any model that is based on a static pie that can only be cut up so many ways is in flat denial of reality, and falls at the first hurdle.
Journalist Mode – How I Get Things Done
This is basically how I cram as much productive work into a day that I can, with the goal of strategically dealing with rabbit holes, context switch, constant learning etc.

I've been doing this on paper for ages but I broke my wrist, I couldn't hold a pen but I could type so I figured I'd make it into a thing, polish it up and put it out into the world.

The name comes from Cal Newports book Deep Work, where he's talking about professions where you need to constantly switch between going really deep on a task, but are constantly needing to context switch... which I think applies to a lot of people in tech.

You'll probably want to skim the medium post linked from the website so it makes sense.

Hope someone gets some use out of it :)

To be fair, this is exactly why they are doing it. This is coming out of the belief that the Jewish people need a Jewish refuge state based on the constant past consequences of not having one.

If they didn’t control for their population, they’d need to decide between not being a Jewish state and not being democratic.

Feel free to suggest different rules. Start with the publicly accessible “Community Standards” and edit it to the point where they are consistent and comprehensive in your book with no special cases. We’ll wait.

In reality what you might find is that even some obvious rules like “no naked pictures of obvious minors (<10 years) should be allowed” have exceptions to it. And if you can’t reason why this is true (I’m thinking of a specific picture), then at least admit the task you’re implying is trivial is harder than it looks.
"Since the invasion, I haven't seen any articles on the topic and the US media have gone suddenly silent on their involvement." that's just not true pick your favourite search engine and you see articles on this topic from every major outlet.I checked for this Nyt, WP (US) , der spiegel(ger), guardian(uk). You see articles coming up the last 2 weeks, another spike was 2017 and before 2014. I guess if ran an analysis for I'd see spikes mentioning Azov, whenever the Ukranian topic was in the media
I think it's a good prototyping tool, and also makes it easy to do smaller, temporary projects. For myself, I'd like to set up that motion-sensing camera feature to check when my dog sneaks down into the basement to pee. Or set up a display next to my kids' computers to alert them to go to sleep at a reasonable hour. Or set it outside to see when my neighbor's dog (or deer or other wildlife) comes into my yard. You could also use it to track who drives by your house and whether they're speeding. Or set it at your desk at work for a week and track how many times someone interrupts you. Or pull an elaborate April Fool's joke.

That they've put off doing the obvious for so long ("obvious" because one of the key selling points of the browser at initial release was, de facto, a form of ad blocking—namely, popup blocking) makes me think we're more likely to see integrated ad-blocking in Safari than in Firefox. But probably neither is very likely.
>>> Because if it doesn’t, this puts a question mark over the whole idea of democracy all around the world.

When you say democracy, what exactly do you mean?

Most democratic countries have representative democracy, where they choose representatives who pass the laws. This was passed in the Israeli parliament. This is democracy at work isn't it?

There is no direct democracy in the world.

I am not supporting the law just discussing what you mean by democracy.
>These discussions always seem to implicitly presume that we're currently at zero deaths.

I never presumed that and never would.

I do presume that if we watered down criminal liability for reckless driving then we'd get way, way more than 139.

The current regulatory framework surrounding self driving cars is rather like making drink driving subject to a $30 fine. I would be surprised if it starts out safer than humans.

Israel is an apartheid state, a claim now explicitly made by Amnesty International [1]. Pick any number of highlights:

- Denying citizenship to Palestinians (and other Muslims);

- The Palestinian residence card system. Families that cannot be reunited because of it;

- Population quotas in Jerusalem. Palestinians who have it and leave to, say, go to college will be deemed to have abandoned their residency to maintain this quota;

- Palestinians have separate roads to keep them away from Israelis;

- Palestinian settlements are then further separated by Jewish settlements. These were once deemed illegal but any pretense of removing them has long since disappeared. So it may now take hours to go a mile because of all the new security checkpoints;

- Denying Palestinians building permits and then demolishing anything they build because it's not permitted; and

- Rampant use of collective punishment by the IDF. From the video as one example, kids throwing rocks lead to IDF setting up checkpoints with the explicit purpose of inconveniencing and delaying everyone as a (collective) punishment.

Gaza is an open air prison [2].

Any criticism of these rampant human rights violation gets labelled as being anti-Semitic. It's anti-Israeli. There's a difference.

In the present Ukraine war many have criticized the (illegal) annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. Where is the outrage over, say, Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights? Worse, Russia's annexation has been repeatedly confirmed by Western NGOs as being widely popular with the actual Crimeans [3].

You can legitimately criticize Russia for the Crimean annexation. That's a completely reasonable position. But if you're going to do that, how is the Golan Heights different?

The same goes for any self-determination arguments, as an aside. If Ukraine has the right to self-determination with respect to, say, NATO membership, why don't Crimeans have the right to to join Russia?

Some would say that the invasion plays a bigger role.
If you apply to Egypt or Jordan and “Jewish”, it also serves as an interesting exercise and helps highlight the reason Israelis (many of which were expelled from those places) may feel the need to preserve a Jewish state. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but context is important. It’s crazy how easily people talk about Israel as an apartheid state, as if all their neighbors are less heinous because it’s not safe for any Jews to live there.

Egypt likely doesn’t have such immigration restrictions because there are basically zero Jews there. Of course there were for centuries, but they were constantly persecuted, and even jailed and tortured in an effective final mass deportation. I’m sure that far more heinous laws and restrictions on Jews than being able to grant residency to your spouse remain on the books.

I agree 100%. If your company can't survive without exploiting human psychology and contributing to a surveillance infrastructure and monetization scheme, good. Companies survived for centuries without internet ads, tracking, targeting, etc. Just because you can take advantage of technological methods and mental vulnerabilities to pimp your product without the consent of the target, doesn't mean you should.

I wrote a bit recently about why I still collect music on CDs. Here are my 3 reasons, which echo a lot of the comments:

1. To Support the Artist, 2. To Own the Music, 3. To Collect Artifacts (which is fun)

I also found a few recent attempts at creating new physical music formats, but most of them require Internet connectivity and are essentially cloud services that have physical access tokens :( I ended up just lamenting that we never got the Sony MiniDisc revolution that we all deserved.

> Many countries have a culture that advertising should be truthful and not deceptive

Truthful advertising is an oxymoron, like saying 'peaceful wars'. The only difference in sectors where there is ostensibly more regulation is that the lies are not something concrete like hard figures, but more abstract, like creating the illusion that a product will bring happiness.

Have it poll once a minute and ask for instructions with a display in the car that says "instructed to go to X, accept?" and then have it auto accept after another minute.

Sure that means maybe waiting two minutes for the car to move, but that's not a huge deal, especially if you know that happens and request it two minutes in advance, but it gives anyone in the car the chance to cancel the request if it's invalid.
