A financial exchange does order matching at rates of millions of transactions per second on a single thread because its literally the fastest way to do things.

Would you consider operating the most important part of any financial exchange on a single thread "not interesting"?

Wow this is a great advert for V (the programming language it was written in). Having never written a line of V before I can still read and understand the code.
I never, ever, super-duper seriously ever again buy airline tickets from anybody but airlines directly. Use to be cheap like that, thinking how clever I was saving few bucks here and there just by using other seller for the same plane. I use search engine to look generally what's the pricing/timing situation but that's it.

Then you hit issues, delayed flights etc. and every single helpdesk' first question is: did you book with us or through reseller? If by reseller, please contact them, goodbye and have a nice day. If by us, here is completely brand new ticket for free at best possible available time.

Life if too short and I am too poor to deal with such crap when traveling (which is in my case only for vacations, no point ruining them by trying to save few bucks). And quite often direct selling is same price as the other sources.
> It was, which is why your comment starting with "As a business" was so bizarrely off-topic.

What do you mean by off-topic? Businesses receive utility bills too, and might genuinely be required to keep records of those.

As far as I can tell, barring some very special circumstances, individuals never need to keep such records.

Checks are awesome - I use them all the time and I'm at least a third of the age of the elderly. Accessibility is huge to think about especially with "requireables" like the banks, and so it's just good practice and the right thing to do to think about the elderly and edge cases for folks who don't do email/smartphones.

It pays to have empathy to all cross sections of society, not just the ones that are the most visible. :)
That's the thing, remote working decreases the reliance on cars to some extent and not for everybody. Yes, cars are still used for transportation. In some urban settings public transportation is an option. I live in NYC and never owned a car not only because I rely on public transportation but it's a complete pain in the neck with parking, unwanted tickets and high cost for insurance.
I really like adawaita as well, I’m sad to see the easily visible buttons are disappearing into flatland.

It's correct that lignin is used as a fuel, here's one source of it. ~98 is burnt.
"currently most of the lignin produced from paper industry is burned as low-value fuel to generate electricity and heat (Luo and Abu-Omar, 2017) and only less than 2% is used for producing specialty chemicals ..." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09266...
Why is lignin burnt today?

For a mathy approach for programmer types, let's switch to decimal hours for a moment. So 12.0 noon is a time, and 12.99 PM is just shy of 1.0 PM.

So is midday AM or PM?

I think we can agree that 30 minutes after noon, or 12.5, is PM.

And we probably also agree that 12.1 would be PM as well.

And 12.0001, that's PM.

We can put as many zeros in there as we want, and it's still PM.

Now put infinity zeroes in there, and you're "at" 12:00 (since that's what the clock now reads) and it's still PM.

A shorthand version of this is if you look at the clock in the middle of the day and it says 12:00, is it exactly 12:00 that very instant? Or is it, infinitely more probably, a little bit past that time? If you know it's a little past 12:00, you know if it's AM or PM.

As for how to fix it, either "noon"/"midnight" or universal 24-hour clocks or memorize that noon is 12 PM. :)
Be interesting to see someone take cooklang recipes and convert them to the recipe "schematic" used by CFE.

- You can download Facebook and WhatsApp from the Meta Store

- You can get Google software from the Google Store, except Gmail and Maps which are available in the Apple App Store too, but YouTube is a Google Store exclusive. Or and Authenticator is only available on the Google App Store with a valid company login. So you'll have to switch accounts depending on if you are logging in as a user for yourself or your company.

- You can get Netflix from the App Store, Google Store, or Facebook store but each requires that you log in to the respective store with an account before logging in to your Netflix account and the pricing is different depending on the cut each of the stores takes. Google is interested in finding what Netflix shows you are watching so they can adjust your YouTube algorithms.

- You can download Twitter from the Apple App Store and Google, but not Facebook.

And you can download the MLB App if you have a Prime subscription because of a new partnership, but only if you have the Amazon Prime App.

I misspoke, should have said end to end.
Strange question. Maybe some do, probably not a major driver for most.

What motivates your question?
Not trying to be sarcastic. I genuinely asking. Why?

I'm not a fan of the office because:

1. I don't like the commute
2. I have an office in my house, but at the "office"; I would be sharing some kind of space.
3. now that covid is less of an issue I plan on going to lunch more with freinds.
It's because modern advertising's purpose isn't to tell people about a product they already wanted but didn't know existed (which would be fine), it's to cause people to feel a sense of fear/loss/inadequacy that they previously didn't and then present the product as a solution, or associate a product with something people love in a manipulative way, because those types of ads are worlds more effective at driving sales. That's cancer capitalism and a lot of people with principles rightly refuse to be a part of it.
When getting to work involves a short walk to the office, getting a coffee on the way, of course that's the best commute by a country mile. When the weather's nice like this morning I'll take a longer walk, but I don't have to do that commute.
This is a problem of poor app design, not the stunning indictment of traditional menus that you seem to think it is.

A poor menu layout can be fixed. A hamburger menu will always be a byzantine mix of everything because everything has to be in there. There is no organization, except flyout menus--which were a problem with traditional menu designs, but you could organize without them.

Hell, some applications have just moved the traditional menu behind the hamburger. Why? Because that was a good way to organize operations, even if it wasn't perfect, or wasn't always perfectly implemented.
From my personal experience that sort of stuff doesn't happen anymore due to aggregators. Prices do change based on the moment you searched, but I've constantly been getting the same price across ITA Matrix / Google Flights / Airline Official Website / Priceline

No Incognito or VPN needed

What I do still see changing based on different metrics like IP are car rental prices and hotel prices

All US car rental companies give much cheaper prices to foreigners. I don't know the reasoning but its absurd, A rental car in Manhattan for Easter weekend will cost you $300/day on kayak.com and $70/day at the same exact branch on kayak.com.hk (this also works on the companies official websites when changing "country of residence")

> It's crazy how far people will go to justify taking food off other people's plate.

We don't have to justify it. We simply don't want to see ads. That's the end of it. The second they insist on showing us ads despite our preferences, their software becomes malware and will be blocked.

And nobody is "taking" anything off anyone's plate. They're the ones sending us free stuff bundled with ads. We're just deleting the noise. Just like ripping ads out of magazines and throwing them away.
HTTPS works encrypted between multiple clients, servers and proxies without issues (mostly). There is nothing impossible about encrypted communication. It's just that all servers and clients need to work together to achieve this.
Yes, and as a math problem, it's been solved a thousand times already. This is not like Fermat's last theorem where no one could find a solution that worked, or prove that none existed.

This is a situation where we know for sure no solution exists with the axioms of GR or QM. So, you need to add new axioms, and it's easy to add new axioms to solve it, as has been done already in various ways.

The remaining problem is to see if any of these axioms are in any way physical, which is a problem of physics, one that can only be solved with data.

1. Get an Android TV device. This is not actually a TV, but a device that connects to your TV via HDMI. Prices vary, but it's not expensive.

2. Install SmartTubeNext on the Android TV. Now you have something better than YouTube Premium: This app supports SponsorBlock, which not only gets rid of YT ads, it also skips filler segments, self-promotion segments and sponsor segments.

3. You can also install a SponsorBlock browser extension.

Both of these are Open Source Software.
I wonder what makes it a low value fuel. If it has a lot of carbon per energy released, it may be better to bury it than burn it.
From a US point of view, when was the last time any entrenched bureaucracy was eliminated? As a baby step in redundancy reduction, is it realistic to think that UBI going to get rid of a program like WIC, against the full power of big ag brandishing starving baby pictures?

Your second point acknowledges that taxing away UBI through progressive tax rates is a clawback. As I read it, your idea is that the increased marginal taxation due to the clawback will occur at higher income levels than exist with current programs. Why not just change the existing tax rates instead of sending out cash and taxing it back?

Wait until you hear what we do in Canada.

We got European/UK roots but since US is next door, in real Canadian fashion we just simple do both. Arbitrarily.

- driving distance and speed is measured in KM and KM/h

- but height, home construction and day to day distance we use imperial. So I'm 5'9" not 175cm. and McDonald's is 100 feet from the intercection, but the next offramp (speedway) is in 3km

- food is all in imperial, so grocery is in pounds, we buy a 12.7oz pint. But liquor stores/bottles are in ML. but if your talk to friends about what to bring to a party, it's back to pint or a "Mickey" or "26er"

- science is all taught in metric.

- But unless you talk cars and motor output, it's back to horsepower (this one is actually pretty common still everywhere in the world).

- And we use centigrade instead of farenheit. So small talk with Americans at work is a constant math excercise.

- Dates are complete utter toss up in the air. My driver license is YYYY/MM/DD, but i know for a fact I've filled out forms that goes MM/DD/YYYY (at the doctors office), and i'm just conditioned to go MM/DD/YYYY when typing dates online because that's how I say it. I don't say 25th of March, I say March 25, 2022.

To protect their identity I won't go into specifics, but not implementing anti-tampering on local and remote backups i.e. protection from root. Backups only residing on live systems.

On a case by case basis, sure. However we are seeing a mass psychosis around trans identity in middle school. The rates of middle school girls identifying as something other than CIS are reaching levels as high as 40% in some school districts.

Okay, my mistake. I do think simplicity was a goal for Sir Tim, though. Check out this old Usenet post introducing the "WorldWideWeb" (emphasis mine): https://groups.google.com/g/comp.archives/c/CfsHlSNYPUI/m/DT...

> Which leads me to ask you: why do you think that you believe that other people should be limiting themselves to what basically amounts to your idea of "incredibly simple"?

I think the phrase "should be" bothers me here. I just had an idea and I'm gonna try to implement it. Most likely I will be the only person to do so, but if someone else thinks it's a good idea, they can implement it too if they wish, and that would be cool. I'm sure many people who are interested in KyuWeb's goals will read my proposal and my arguments in this thread and still decide that Gopher, Gemini, or the modern web is still the better route to take, and that's fine.

I'm guessing that a company's largest expenses are (probably in order, too): People, Technology, Office space.

Most companies, especially smaller companies, do not actually own the office space they are in, they lease it. Commercial real estate crashing would greatly reduce one of their top 3 expenses... how is that bad for the bottom line?

> this will be gradual but i think it is a common sentiment that we want to work with people we can see in person

That's been my biggest issue, is I miss the people. I miss the coffee runs, the random lunch outings...

However, if I lived my ideal schedule I would work from 0600 to 1100 ITO, break for a 'siesta', then finish my work later in the afternoon evening as my schedule allows. And so my co-workers have also had their own ideals which overlap little to any such that we quickly reach a point of "no point in having in office, we overlap two hours at best."

Perhaps the best model to satiate flexibility but indulge the human side of the equation, is remote-first regional-companies. One can still plan to meet with some regularity without absurd amounts of travel. At my first startup, we would meet on a roughly weekly basis for a company lunch to have those conversations easiest done face-to-face, or just hang out for an afternoon enjoying the local natural beauty (#SaltLife) - anytime the Engineering VP and I needed to meetup, we'd just figure out what day we could meet up at a colo office or coffee spot.

Otherwise, remote from wherever made sense. Some days for me it was pool side, some days down by the creek, most days just in my home office. The only real down-side is that lack of a national or global talent pool, but we weren't even all that niche so it wasn't a factor for us and, I suspect, most companies which just do the same old languages on the same old platforms.
perhaps, but those things are related. the necessity of live human interaction must have created regular feedback loops that arrested extreme user-unfriendly cost saving measures. the digital world reduces or outright removes those frictions.
Earthquakes don't suddenly lower terrain by much. (Unless the 'quake triggers a landslide...)

My two guesses:

- The natural barrier was quite low (due to some combination of things). Then waves from either an exceptional storm, or an tsunami, swept over the top - eroding it enough to start the run-away erosion/flooding process.

- Setup similar to my first guess, but the soil/rock/bedrock of the natural barrier aren't able to withstand the groundwater pressure and flows. (Think of a slowly-failing dam, with water seeping through it faster & faster.)

Wikipedia's best guess:
