looks like that until you can instantly pay by winking to each other at 0 fees for 100% of your use cases on a proof-of-orphans-being-adopted or proof-of-cancer-being-cured blockchain, crypto deniers won't be satisfied.

the system doesn't have to be perfect and you don't have to be 100% invested for it to work, you can still be helped by crypto in a financially oppressed country even if you don't use it for everyday transactions, even if you don't use for all your money, even if you use it once per year.

like any other options, you use the best one for each situation, and crypto fills a huge gap here, fees included.

That's $52/year per faucet. I've got four faucets in my home that a child could reasonably drink from. That's $200/year and 48 filter changes assuming you don't miss any changes. And that doesn't help with showers and baths, or even pools and hose water.

Compare that to a whole-home filter: under $500 with a five year warranty. Filters are a couple hundred bucks every 100,000 gallons. The time savings alone is worth it, but the real value is knowing that you're not relying on $1 plastic filters.

Nothing about these $1 filters is good for children. The idea that a household with kids has the time and energy to change filters on every faucet once a month (ignoring all the time your kids spend at school with lead water there!) is laughable.

This is really cool. I am endlessly fascinated by the proliferation of "productivity apps" when I find the same thing as you: that they are quite unnecessary.

My approach is similar. I already take notes via a Bash script. I configure a particular "label" for any todos and (essentially) just grep for them, excluding those that are crossed out (with Markdown tildes). This approach works great for me as a Staff Engineer in a large tech company. Reference: https://github.com/scottashipp/noted/blob/main/subcommands.m...

I also wanted to mention there are several related ideas / movements around the web. One of the biggest is todotxt. In case you hadn't heard of it: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt

My understanding is that the webcam issue has been essentially (not officially) confirmed as being a software bug. Which makes this kind of vitriol pretty unnecessary:

> There is a product manager at Apple who, for some reason, hates webcam users with a burning passion.

It also makes perfect sense, since the actual specs of the camera should be giving a much better picture.
>I would like some citation for this one. Pretty large claim. For example China brought out 2/3rds of their population from poverty to middle class, pretty large number.

Yes... Thanks to capitalism. Communismn killed tens of millions in China when they attempted to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people's communes.

>Now there can be a debate on whether Chinese system is communism or not,

There is no debate. There are billionaire capitalists in China.

>but it definitely is not capitalism the way people in US like to define it.

It is 100% the way people in the US define capitalism. Sure it has it's Chinese spin, but it is undoubtedly capitalism.
I feel like we reached a sweet stop with Docker or dedicated VMs, where the dev environment was near-identical to production.

Car will then, if driven weekly, start on the first half of the first crank every time. Battery has gone 14 months without a tender or external charge and continues to start the car just fine.
That's certainly an argument you can make. I kinda agree with what you imply about the lack of logical coherence, but unfortunately that's not necessary for cultural movements.

Don't you agree that there's a relationship between having pronouns in the bio, reading Ibram X. Kendi, being "intersectional", believing words are violence, and sporting purple hair?
Imho the Apple Thunderbolt Display is still a great (and way much cheaper) alternative for those of us who can't care less about refresh rate or pixel density.

Yes there is, it varies by state. Author is in NC, same as me. There is a state-wide safety inspection but vehicles older than 30 years are exempt:

There's also an emissions inspection that varies by county, but vehicles older than 20 years are exempt.

https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/title-registration/emissions-safet...

Does it make any sense to exempt older vehicles that are most likely to fail these inspections? No, of course it doesn't.

New vehicles within the most recent 3 model years are also exempt.

My father had one of these just sort of gathering dust in the garage when I was growing up, utterly shocked when I turned 16 and he handed me the keys.

I still like to casually drop "oh yeah, I used to have a Porsche back when I was 16." Although I must say it was in immeasurably better shape than this one :D

I still dream of finding an old 914 and giving it an electric conversion… I'd have to do something about that rear window, though, it whips air forward when you drive with the top down.

"Easy for me to imagine. We simulate every atom of a brain."

???

First, it's not easy too imagine 'modelling every atom in the brain' - we don't even know how 'atoms' work, we're a ways from that.

Moreover, 'every atom' still doesn't imply some kind of logical basis.

The scale, detail, and complexity implies 'Magical Thinking'/

Philosophical arguments aside, it's not just about 'more nodes'.

Looking through their docs... The source for stock data is scraping Yahoo Finance or using IEX Cloud...

The first is not legitimate and exchanges are not going to like that... and the second is only giving you roughly 2-3% of trading volume as IEX is a rather small exchange.

I wonder how this will ever be competitive without actual data? Getting data from a single market (consolidated equity feed, options, futures, etc) can be upwards of $100k per year, not including the fees per-user (small for individuals, very large for any finance professional). These exchanges and organizations are also pretty serious about their intellectual property and will pursue apps that distribute it without a license. In addition to having a license for the data, you need a vendor to actually deliver the datafeed, which is a big cost in itself.
This is not quite the right thing to take away from Saussure! In the absence of true signifieds, signifiers are "arbitrary" in the sense of the classical model, but that very thing opens up a huge number of questions about how these relations are formed and enforced, in the absence of substantial nodes. In the absence of signifieds, there can only be, in a broad sense, enforcement, or "rules" to language games that form and disform as society changes, in a more Wittgenstein/Cavell sense.

Saussure would absolutely be on the side of questioning our use of language because the effects it has, he is probably the biggest early intellectual source for these discussions.

Saussure would laugh quite a bit at everyone's extreme defensiveness in this thread. So many people scared of losing their signifieds that never really existed in the first place. Consider precisely what everyone is so angry about, such that GP is being downvoted so much, it is a faith in a ground that is only a illusion, at the cost of discussions and progress that only aspire to help people. Sad!

Definitely difficult, especially after being in the corporate world with steady income, bonuses and equity. Been there! However, the independence and extreme flexibility is quite worth it.

I run PMHero.co, and did my best to simplify the whole process for clients. It's one monthly fixed price, so no contracts, sales meetings or hour management. It's self serve, so quite easy to create an account and get started (we use Trello to manage all the requests). It has helped set me apart from competitors.

Marketing your business and finding your first few clients is always difficult, but once you get rolling, it usually runs smooth. I also tend to be a generalist, and quite curious, so I can cover a lot of territory, which makes me a one-stop shop for the most part.

Hit me up if you have any Qs I can help with.

> Only if you consider the trade in the quantity of the goods traded, and not in a prevailing unit of accounting

Nope, this is microeconomics. If you and I have the same funding costs and we trade a commodity derivative, any gain you have is a gain I gave up. Any loss you have is one I avoided.

This is true irrespective of the unit of account of point in time at which one measures it; it's an identity. The only
> would have given him a DPI increase over his previous 27" 1440p display. Any 4k screen would have also done that.

While true, the ppi increase from most 4k screens would not be as large as the Apple Studio Display.

Most 4k monitors are 24 inches, and those monitors will be 192.94 ppi. [0][1] The Apple Studio Display comes in at 218 ppi. [2]

> Is it similar in Russian?

Nope, no equivalent to "sibling" at all, not even plural. If you want to say "siblings", you say "братья и сёстры".

edit: "родня" might be kinda like "rodzeństwo", but it's not just siblings, it's relatives in general.

> I'm not sure how to translate your longer forms, "nauczycielniczka"? There's no such word.

"Учительница" (or short slang form "училка") is the correct feminine form found in dictionaries. "Учителька" is the cringy one coined by feminists. They both mean "female teacher", but apparently the correct one is somehow worse or not modern enough? I don't know.

> While the bill would lower costs for many individual patients who take insulin, it would do nothing to reduce the prices paid to the companies that make it. Instead, insurance companies would simply pay a larger share of the price. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill would increase government spending, since health insurers, including Medicare, would be responsible for a greater share of insulin costs.

Yeah it's kind of crazy. So the solution here is not to get companies to charge less, but instead just to put them on government welfare? The insulin companies must have some great lobbyists to have pulled this off.

> Emergencies happen every 2-3 years.

The last time a pandemic of this scale happened was a century ago. True, with the destruction of animal habitats and climate change ( which feeds into the former), we'll probably see more epidemics from now on. And yes, the restrictions worked against that type of emergency - an airborne virus of pandemic proportions.

It's a fallacy to claim that now that we know all that and the laws have expired, next time there's an emergency of any kind governments will just impose lockdowns and do contact tracing. There's simply no basis for such an outrageous claim.

> The surveillance and enforcement measures used to enforce compliance through COVID are firmly still on the table.

Oh yes, QR codes surveillance.

As someone who works in finance and sees the messiness, my takeaway is the exact opposite: the bad tech is evidence that the maintenance of the monetary system is largely not a tech concern, it’s an institutional and societal trust concern. And that’s why banks are actually pretty decent at it.

I’m not saying there aren’t major improvements to be made in fintech, but I think by and large crypto is trying to improve parts of finance that are not actually improved by technology.
That's why I said "DPI increase". 27" at 1440p is 108.79 PPI.
