It’s not a silly request. “Slave” is a very specific term that is highly emotionally charged. There are plenty of alternatives which convey the intended meaning just as clearly without the offensive connotation.

Imagine if one were to insist on referring to “male” and “female” connectors as “cocks” and “fuckholes”.

This is not a hill worth dying on.
Agreed. I am very uncomfortable letting a car rot anywhere though. I'd rather see it shredded and recycled. Then again I don't deify brands like I sort of did when I was younger.

At this point that car needs to be completely disassembled to bare metal, power washed, welding repaired, sandblasted, repainted, and totally rebuilt. With so much damage all that remains is nothing but hospice care.
I recently got a 32 inch LG monitor with 144hz refresh rate for about $375. It’s qhd/2k, and VA panel.. honestly I’m in love with it. At the store I had a really difficult time seeing a big difference from my display or a 4k 27 inch. I feel like tons of people can be very happy and save a bit money if they would just trust their own eyes. Like I don’t doubt the apple display is better but $1000 better?? doubt it.

MOT surely won't check half the things that are wrong with this car though? Shitty starting, busted gearbox? Most 90s supercars wouldn't pass if that was a problem :p

What do MOTs say about antique cars? I've had some really rough old Minis pass the MOT in the past.
While this bill is imperfect, overall it does improve the situation for diabetics. But for type 2 diabetics we really ought to focus on reducing their need for exogenous insulin. Virta Health has peer reviewed research showing that the majority of patients can put their diabetes into remission using nutritional ketosis.

https://www.virtahealth.com/reversediabetes

Type 1 diabetics will always need some exogenous insulin, but they can reduce the amount of insulin needed (and the cost thereof) with regular exercise.

This is the main problem with EU. It is much easier to pass dumb laws across the continent. No space for competition. It would be much harder to pass these ridiculous laws, country by country.

I'm often baffled why Americans see EU as some some well run utopia. In reality it is increasingly authoritarian dystopia. God I hate EU!

For the first time I’m seriously considering moving to ElSalvador or what ever caribian country has the best balance of least crime, most crypto friendly.

He has an army of publicly funded staffers and has resources that I would never dream off and will never have in my life to actually do research into where the virus came from. He can do all the theatrics he wants as long as he's also using his resources for something that is not digging dirt on Fauci also.

I don't buy when politicians start being all like "look I agree with you and that's my end game but first we need to get rid of this guy, and then we win the election, and then we put this other guy in that position and then and then and then". It's not true he can't do better now, it's just not convenient to him and since it's convenient to me I will not support him.
Author of the Salty IM Spec here and currently working on a reference client and broker (`saltyd1) implementations called Salty Chat (`salty-chat` CLI and TUI) and a PWA (Progressive Web App)

Thanks for posting this! Happy to answer any questions! The project is in rapid development and has only been alive for ~2 weeks or so.

So far most things are working nicely, docs could be better (of course) and we finally have the Mobile/Desktop/Web (PWA) App in a working state (UX issues aside).
> I find it furious how american citizens are force to subsidize the entire world

If I buy a car for 10x what it's worth, it's not because I'm subsidizing other buyers - it's because I got ripped off.
I use a 30" 4K monitor, and I still don't notice the DPI difference between it and my MacBook Pro or iPad.

Personally I would much rather that they made the display 4K and 120hz instead of 5k and 60hz. At that size, I don't see a big difference between 4K and 5k, but the 60hz vs. 120hz jump is very noticeable.
I'm in the US and prefer manual transmissions, but I have to admit that the 6-8 speed automatic transmissions that have become popular in the last 5-10 years pretty much solves the "always in the wrong gear" problem that the 3-4 speed automatic transmissions of years past had.
If you want to prevent people 72 years in the future from finding out about you, you are going to have to do a lot more than dodge the census taker. Maybe you could accomplish this by living in the wilderness with no internet, phone, or postal service, but I wouldn't even count on that.

It basically fits into the same niche as the LG 5K; it is profoundly meh, and far too expensive, but if you want a 5K screen you don't have many options.

I have, and am basically happy with, an LG 5K. If I didn't, though, I'd buy this. Not because it's amazing; it's not, by any means. But because it is the only game on town (except for the LG, and it is at least better than _that_).
It's bullet journal notation meets plain-text format and I dig it.

I use pure text files for a lot of things, too, and I already use a similar system, but it's definitely more free-form.

Cool idea!
When people complain about high insulin costs, they’re complaining about new formulations that work much better. You can get the old stuff at Walmart for (relatively) cheap. The new stuff is probably under patent, although even when that runs out there are roadblocks for generic manufacturing - and that goes for every medication.

The fact that patent holders can draw out the process longer than they’re supposed to should be reformed, but that doesn’t get as many political points as capping the price to the consumer.
Serviced apartments (and to a lesser extent extended stay hotels) try to cover that niche, but they're pretty thin on the ground outside of major cities. I think Sonder was also trying to do that kind of thing but I have no idea if they've expanded outside of SF and one or two other cities, or for that matter if they've shut down in the past couple years.
Without Thomas taking an action - speaking - the bug would remain undiscovered. I think that counts.
> 2560x1440 /logical/ pixels (what apple calls points) at 27" to be the ideal amount of [MacOS] screen real estate (and physical size for [MacOS] UI elements)

ftfy. Apple is double dealing you here. Apple developed MacOS to look best at that size/density, and forced the development of the few expensive displays are that size/density... After a decade waiting for third party displays to meet up their standard, to no avail, perhaps Apple should just modify the OS to better support other HiDPI displays available
Agree it broke the status quo for percent uninsured.

Not quite as much the status quo in the structuring of healthcare in the US, which seems to be ever leaning towards more bureaucracy, regulatory capture, regulatory costs, insane tort/legal risks, and dead weight.

Also part of the big drop in uninsured was the lining up of people to the wall with the weapon of the tax-man cocked, saying "pay up or else." When the penalties ended the uninsured rate started to go back up again. Not my favorite way to do things, and I question how much of that was out of benevolence.
Where you put your lossiness is a matter of choice and taste.
Yeah I'm very curious to know how this Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) from the article is done.

I haven't read the book you mentioned, but I'd say from my personal experience a physical yoga practice helps teach you to properly relax into what can sometimes be extreme discomfort. I remember when I first started practicing, whenever we'd get to long holds of poses (e.g. splits, pigeon, ustrasana), my body would start panicking and want me to come out of it immediately. But if you just keep bringing your awareness to the breath and meditate through the sensations that arise, the body starts relaxing and accepts where it's at.

I can imagine the PRT therapy probably includes some subset of the four foundations of mindfulness [1].

You promote your app by promoting it before building.
Since it supports Center Stage, the camera is actually seeing an extremely wide field of view, and then cropping in to show a more normal view. This naturally means the resolution is going to suffer, and gone are any hopes of the optics being good enough to provide even the tiniest background separation. Even if they fix some ISP issue, the webcam quality seems unlikely to ever be good, but it might become acceptable.

It's trivial to find people complaining about the quality of center stage online[0], although it seems like reviewers were mostly wowed by the novelty of the feature, and not how it looks in day to day usage.

Apple doesn't want to talk about the resolution of Center Stage, but when zoomed all the way out... you're limited to 1080p30. It crops significantly into that 1080p image during normal use, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at an effective resolution of 480p or worse.

Given how much space they have on the monitor, and how much they're charging for the monitor, I wish they would have done something cool like having the Center Stage camera and a better quality normal camera. Center Stage is only useful when there are multiple people, or you can't stay still for some reason... and neither of those apply to 99% of Zoom calls I've seen in the past several years.

Manual transmissions are great for anti-theft protection ;)
I feel like I must have been corrupted by the internet or something if the tweet in question is considered "grossly offensive". It certainly isn't nice, but 18 months supervision and 150 hours of community service? I don't even know how to put my bafflement into words here.
I appreciate the criticism, thanks! I disagree, though, that adhering to standardised formats is not worth it. Currently, there are countless todo apps and editor plugins out there, which all do very similar things. However, each needs their own dedicated editor plugin for syntax highlighting, and you can’t easily switch the client apps without having to also switch the underlying data format.

What I agree with is that standards limit the creative freedom of tool creators. But that’s the same balancing act all over again, no matter where you look at.
I don’t read it regularly; I don’t feel that anyone does. Can you elaborate?

> nothing there qualifies as good reporting

That’s a bit of a strong position. I lean right, but even I feel that some of their coverage is great despite the difference in ideology

I don’t see how to explain it more clearly: the same word can have different nuances in different languages. Therefore, using the word can be a translation issue rather than the person making that specific argument. So you are attacking an argument that the person did not necessarily make (at least not intentionally).

Now, I could well be wrong, but the fact that the word is not consistent with the rest of the comment is an indication. Again, there is no need to be so agressive.

It's not patents, most early insulin is off patent.

Most of the barriers are regulatory and profitability.

It is worth noting that bidens 35 is a copay limit, not a limit on what your insurance pays.

As a example for profitability, this non profit hopes to bring the total cost down to 30:

I think that’s being too generous. These efforts have a very distinct goal: reinforce defensives against universal healthcare program to preserve the health insurance gravy train for the ruling class, and preserve the employer-based health insurance system that helps to keep so many Americans in fear of losing their jobs.

Health insurance industry’s annual profits havey increased very significantly since Obamacare passed in 2010 [1]. These sorts of efforts effectively make the insurance lobby even stronger that it would be otherwise.

> I feel like a spec like this was meant for a pretty niche group of people.

That’s spot on actually.
In 2022 that's a decent argument.

I'm thinking a few decades in the future, when there is probably settlements on the Moon and Mars, and an asteroid mining industry that finds valuable metal asteroids and sends them to Earth orbit, maybe by attaching solar powered rockets to them.

In that world, any asteroid mining operation can destroy a lot on Earth, even by accident.
