This brings to mind one of the issues I have with the w3 model: It eliminates efficiencies of scale. All of the processing to render a website is delegated to customers (many of whom are on cell phones with terrible bandwidth). You can't do any sort of caching or any sort of optimizations to make a website run faster. You couldn't do it even if you needed to for your customers.

No caching. No QUIC. No parallel pipelines (you need the whole blockchain locally to begin rendering), no deletion of old content. No CDNs. No edge distribution of secured media (Netflix movies, et.al.).

Everybody must (to be secure) verify all the entries of the entire blockchain as a boot-up step. At least once per load, viewers must traverse the block chain to build the latest state for a specific web page.

It gets worse if you optimize for the above actions by creating and maintaining one block chain per individual or small groups of w3 sites. Frankly, I find this idea to be completely unrealistic. One can look at existing P2P and see how seeds vanish without traditional websites (and their trackers - hey, databases!) to back them up.

Just imagine what Reddit's blockchain (size, transaction time, parsing time, growth) would look like.
I think people just have a different definition of hard. I cancelled my Prime membership several times in the past (not using it too much, changing countries etc) and it’s definitely not a single button - the process is clearly done to have some attrition and make you reconsider cancelling it. But you just have to click your way past 2-3 screens worth of reminders of how amazing your subscription is and after that you’re done. Personally I would not call it hard (hard for me would be one of those services where I have to ring support to cancel!) but it could be easier.

I was definitely amazed by the refund part, that was nice and something I didn’t expect. Iirc the refund is also based on your actual usage of prime features, not just how much longer your subscription is going to last, which is extremely consumer-friendly.
> Plastic American-style milk bottles are funnily enough one of the only easily recycled plastics, if I am remembering correctly.

I don't know about the recyclability of those plastics, but I wouldn't be surprised. They're basically two pieces of plastic screwed together without any seal, and it works well enough!
I wonder if you could find exemptions for refugees. Seem to be a lot of those lately. Not ignoring the sad irony of this, but if you want to put that space to use there may some allowable loopholes.
I don't disagree. But how long should someone support an indefinite license for? 5 years? 20 years? Who decides?

They marketed it using the word "Indefinite" to differentiate it from subscriptions.

This was an indefinite LTS in my mind that lasted just 5 years.

> Someone can move in and refuse to pay rent, refuse to leave, use your house as a drug den, destroy your property and lots more, and you can do nothing about it.

This is one of those things that really just confuses me. It's like no one could agree on happy medium between "landlord can eject you whenever they want for whatever reason" and "no one can make you leave, ever, for any reason".

And to whoever downvoted you, there are some places in the bay that are demanding 6 months rent up front in order to move in because they can't do much if you stop paying rent.

I don't think that's the case about it being pride. It's pretty common for intelligent people to immediately forget minutiae. The fact that folk completely forget work over the weekend means they're fresh for a new week. Throw taking care of small children into the mix, and there's zero room for anything extra rattling around.

"I don't remember what I did yesterday," seems more likely to really mean, "there's nothing that anyone cares about." It's an answer to the question that they wanted to be asked, i.e. "What does the team need to know about the progress of your work?" Framed in response to what they were actually asked, "what did you do yesterday?"

It's actually a pretty good response, assuming they're generally effective employees. They are avoiding wasting everyone's time conveying what they believe to be unnecessary information.

You can run a more effective startup by directly asking for status updates on important tickets rather than vaguely asking, "what did you do?" Ask for information, not a story. If you literally want folk to go into minutiae on something because you think it would be helpful, then ask them for that. "How did you solve that problem?" And they'll ramble on the whole meeting.

You’re agreeing with me. The solution is not rest and then go right back to a toxic environment but to eliminate the source of toxicity.

Burnout is your body trying to save itself because your conscious brain is killing it.
Sounds like the actual problem is school start times, not daylight savings time. Up here in the PNW, it gets dark at 4pm in the winter. I am so happy that it's shifted to 5pm now, with the adoption of permanent DST.

It seems more reasonable for highschools to shift their own schedules, rather than have the rest of society shift around twice a year and/or suffer 4pm sunsets for half the year.
I've often wished that one avenue of appeal of a city assessment was an option given to the property owner to force the city to buy the property for 90% of what they assessed it. You could either go through the current appeals process or just sell them the house if they were way off.
Some interesting commentary here including that Intel is currently in production building SiFive's P550 core on Intel 4 (their upcoming leading edge node using EUV).
It's more than "sometimes", these days. They've long moved on from a quick "this program made possible by..." to straight up reading ads on air, frequently. Between that and all the time they spend promoting their own programs, plus the pledge drives, I doubt their content/non-content time is any better than most commercial radio. Maybe worse.

Recovering Conversations from Microsoft Teams' Desktop Client
I think you're arguing from the perspective that there's some objectively right "Product of the USA" meaning. But there isn't. A USA Apple Pie did not start by the USA creating the universe, paraphrasing Carl Sagan.

The problem is that there are differing degrees of "Product of the USA" here. "Big Meat" wants to slap it on anything they want that vaguely touched the US at some point prior to packaging for marketing purposes. Absolutionists may want it to mean nowhere in the value chain that produced that particular animal does any other country appear, and may even say, yes, that means the car you mention is not made in the US. (Presumably there is a limit to how far back the analysis needs to go, since cows are not native to the US.) The guy on the street probably doesn't care, and may care about it for quality issues (perceived or real) or care about the vast majority of the profit of the value chain being retained in the US.

Generally, when it comes to product labeling in the US, the federal government declares what labels mean, and in the absence of that, labels have very little meaning [1]. In this case, the court majority ruled that the meaning the government outlines was fulfilled by the meat labeled as such in the package. This is not wrong, it just happens to not be the definition preferred by other people, and they're going to Congress to get it changed.

So, to answer your question, yes and no and maybe, all at the same time. Hence the problem.

[1]: It occurs to me as I type this that more of the labels could stand to be clear about which is which. If my bread says it is "whole wheat", is that in the set of meaningful, legally-defined labels, or is it just something the manufacturer felt like they could stick on because there was a whole wheat grain that accidentally got into the dough? I don't know, and my not knowing is the point, not the question itself.

Yeah same for android. I get that fees are high and the play store has it's issues...

The price is also much more transparent, so there's no bait and switch between annual/monthly prices.

The ideal would be to have a a website like privacy.com here in Canada but there's no service or even bank that allows you to have disposable credit cards. I wonder if it's due to regulatory differences

I just started as a freelancer month ago and it's hard for me to get out from 9-5 mindset. I'm not yet sure if I'm expected to put in full hours or just do my best. At the beginning I worked full days but past couple weeks I've billed 6-7 hours a day with the same input as before. I'm also having ADD but haven't brought it up. Still the honeymoon phase of the new project so it's quite easy to get immersed with my super focus.

The thing with these monster builds is that for the people who do that creative work they pay for themselves in time saved fairly quickly.

For hobbyists they are a nice to have; for a professional they can absolutely free up hours in a day for them to do other work. For small shops that can mean one less employee; for solo artists that can allow them to take on work they couldn’t otherwise.
The point of the article is the answer to this: they were systematically overpaying because the offers where they overestimate value were disproportionately taken up by sellers.

But also there's the cost of inspection, property insurance, title insurance, escrow fees, labour costs of making the sale etc. As the article says, trading houses is not like trading stocks.

"Fail to overthrow"? Are you kidding me? Have you seen what happens to dissenters in China?

My favorite artist of my entire lifetime (I consider him to be the greatest artist of the past 100 years, hands down) is Ai Weiwei. I flew to Prague (from the US) with the express intent of making his exhibit the centerpiece of a vacation there in 2017. The man is a living treasure to all of humanity. (I'm sure others will view my opinion of him to be absurdly inflated, but that's my subjective opinion.)

For the crime of speaking out on CCP corruption and being somewhat famous, he was put under house-arrest and also directly detained for long periods of time. He's just an artist, not a soldier or revolutionary.

What are they going to use to overthrow their government? What weapons do they have access to? How can they communicate when all internet traffic is directly controlled by CCP via infrastructure?

They are not "in on it", even if many play the role of "useful idiots" the same way jingoistic Americans do when our government fans the flames of war, like Iraq in 2003.

Our Chinese brothers and sisters deserve compassion and bravery, not the typical hand-waving and continuance of a relationship of convenience where the West gets cheap goods/labor while the Chinese citizens are crushed under the boot of a government that allows them no say in their destiny.

I'm not foolish or naive enough to think that the US is remotely a true democracy/republic, but at least here we don't jail our dissenters without any form of due process. And when those forms of due process fail, we have the ability to speak out about them without getting jailed or having family members threatened. The same goes for the EU.

I had a rather naive and complacent attitude towards the CCP until I travelled there, and more recently when a close friend of mine had her father in Beijing die early in the COVID pandemic. The authorities there claimed he didn't die of COVID, but it was blatantly obvious to all involved that his symptoms matched it. But at that point in time, the CCP's official talking point was that they had successfully contained COVID in Wuhan, and therefore the realities weren't allowed to be discussed. She had to speak in code with her family members over the phone. It's very hard for westerners who have never been there to understand the oppressive atmosphere that is present there. It's a very, very odd mix, because this oppressive atmosphere is overlaid on the unyielding optimism of the booming economy and the utterly wonderful and brilliant Chinese citizenry. They deserve far, far better than their current government, in my opinion as a foreigner.
In the news today a drop fell into the ocean.
I don't think the poster said anything about goodness. Goodness is subjective, originality implies creativity. I personally also want to see more original works in books, movies, tv, and games. After getting into any medium for awhile you realize that most stuff is just a rehash of existing versions & ideas you hadn't come across before (usually because its just a bit older).

Seeing something that could be argued to be "bad" or "dumb" yet completely unique would be my preference.
Yes, that's exactly it. The "Zestimate" is often way off, and the owner knows a lot more about it than Zillow does. If the Zestimate price is lower than the buyer thinks they can get, they won't take the offer. If the Zestimate price ignores the run-down condition of the house or other issues Zillow missed, they snap that up. So Zillow mostly wound up with the homes that they overvalued.
> Yes they will. There are always people who still want to make more money.

"There are always people" is a very different statement from "most people who invest will continue to".

Any time you lower taxes, you significantly increase investment opportunities because suddenly many unprofitable investments suddenly become profitable. In the investment circles I'm in, most people invest in things that perform lower than the S&P 500 because these are both safer, and more profitable due to the tax benefits. Remove the tax incentives, and easily 90% of the folks I know would pull out.

> I never said it's low returns- I said it's a bad thing that this is supposed to be the default way to make money. There's a huge difference there in philosophy.

It's not the "default" way. You can choose not to put in any money in 401Ks and go to more traditional approaches - things like real estate and other businesses where you have much more control over the outcomes. You can even use IRA money to do this, as well as some 401K plans.

And then you'll find out you're more likely better off with the "traditional" investing.

BTW, raising SS tax to 10% to double the returns - it's still not enough. The estimate is that SS will fund only a quarter of the expenses for most retirees. Doubling the returns means it will fund only half of their expenses.

> This entire system was created to benefit people who already have lots of capital.

This should not come as a surprise. There's a reason it's called "capitalism". For pretty much forever, the system in the US benefited those with capital, and the path to riches is to find a way to acquire some capital to let it grow. Being well off just by virtue of an salary is a fairly recent trend, and always has taken the back seat with respect to capital based investments, and always will in the US. It took a while for me to realize this (in retrospect) obvious aspect of the US economy. I can whine about it and try to change the collective psyche of a whole country, or I can find another place to live, or I can make compromises and put more focus in acquiring capital.

I think they can bring the price down a bit, but not to $10K, even with a smaller size payload. Also I should mention the V1 was barely accurate enough to target a city the size of London. Not that adding modern GPS guidance would necessarily cost that much, of course.

> imported as a sapling, planted in the USA for 20 years, then milled in the USA, then worked into a table by USA craftsmen

But that's not a good analogy to what is being complained of in this case. What is being complained of in this case would be more analogous to a tree that was raised from sapling on in a foreign country, cut down, milled, and worked into pieces of a table in that foreign country, then a US company imported the pieces of the table, assembled them into a table, and labeled it "Product of the USA". Still ok to you?
The problem is it is becoming impossible to be self made. Most people buying real estate in south east of UK and London have middling salaries but substantial help from their parents. The working class kid who made it to 70k/year? Tough luck.

The one appliance I have that has internet capability that I don't understand is my dishwasher. It has the ability to be remote started. I can't think of a single use case for this, since you need to load soap to use it, and it has a delay feature. It's a great dishwasher, and I bought it in spite of the silly internet option, which I've never enabled.
I recall reading months ago that Zillow made cash offers with inspections waived, in order to expedite the process. I believe they had an algo which would access average repair cost which they would factor in the actual offer.

Each house needs to be inspected by multiple experts as there are many toxic properties with huge liabilities.
Any comments about how related the Linus Jitter Dance (btw, glad to see that djb isn't the only one making new dance moves..) is to JitterRNG: https://www.chronox.de/jent.html ?

The PDF linked to on the page goes into more detail but that is measured across a number of CPUs and has good performance in both amount and entropy quality produced. You do need to measure it per CPU, but it does comply with SP 800-90B which is what the US Gov considers the standards for randomness.
Why should we use this as an example? You’re talking about people who are throwing away money by leaving assets idle - and implying that they obviously don’t know how to operate in this market.
I appreciate why it feels archaic writ large, but for folks who want to know the animals in question were raised in a certain way (free of antibiotics, to pick something clear), I for one feel more confident that the label is being honest if the meat was also raised here.
