Etsy has been providing it's service at a discount and people are just mad about them bringing prices higher to match their value.

I'm sure any serious seller has considered running their own site, or maybe they have one already, and they know the sales are nowhere near what they get on Etsy because of the built-in audience. If that wasn't the case they would've left Etsy already and not have to deal with Etsy telling them what to do.

A "strike" for a few days accomplishes nothing if people just go back and continue buying and selling. The simple answer for them is to start their own site but that will involve doing everything themselves at significant cost. The fact they don't want to do that should be proof enough for them that Etsy is worth the fees

Yes, they, do. A wide variety of it.
What I was personally referring to when I mentioned "software" is a photo editing application like Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO Photolab, etc. The subscriptions/purchase prices of these type of software is $200+. There are free software versions of these apps but most photographers do not use them.
I don't know whether to what version you were referring to, but my guess is that you might still consider indentation and text formatting unintuitive. But it is actually easy to pick up the rules that Word uses, and there are keyboard combinations as well.

It's a personal preference, but I think it easily beats the typical LaTeX workflow for most people I know, which starts with copying an old project or some template with a ~50 line preamble and then constantly having to turn to Google for literally anything that's a bit out of the ordinary - including a lot of things that really shouldn't be extraordinary for a math software, like typesetting optimization problems, conditional expectation, argmin, table footnotes,... all of which have multiple options and most don't look great. Heck, you even need to define a theorem environment manually in the preamble to get them to look like you're used to.

Since you complain about moving around figures, in LaTeX the workflow for most users is trial-and-error multiple option combinations to get them roughly where you want them. Just check the Google autocomplete options for latex and tell me that people aren't confused by those things.
Laplink had a really neat feature for when you didn't have your laplink install disk with you (or had the wrong size laplink install disk).

You could connect the two computers with a RS232 null modem cable, then type something like the following on the target computer:

mode COM1:2400,n,8,1,p

ctty COM1

This redirected the input/output for the terminal to the serial port.

Laplink on the source computer would then 'type' a series of console commands to create a simple transfer program on the target computer. It would use this simple transfer program to transfer the full laplink.

IIRC it used the msdos DEBUG.COM to build the transfer program on the target computer (but this is an old memory, so could easily be a reconstruction).

(From a comment I wrote below)

>Legitimite employment might not give them the needed liberty to do what they see fit.

That's true; that's why I tried to qualify it with "generally". There certainly are some very intelligent, skilled people who are capable of finding legitimate employment and instead choose to immerse themselves in the criminal underworld, for various personal reasons. In practice, though, I've found them to be pretty rare.

Even among the ones who do have a desire for ultimate liberty and who see themselves as above the law, most feel like the risks greatly outweigh the rewards. Some temporary liberty in exchange for likely many years of zero liberty in a prison cell isn't a great deal. Especially when it's so easy for them to get a comfortable, high-paying legitimate job. (Admittedly, this trade-off may differ in places outside the US, where good jobs may be scarce and criminal activity may pay very well and almost always go unpunished. Assuming one has no ethical compunction, at least. Or feels certain illegal actions are ethically justifiable, like how many hacktivists feel.)

I'll also add as a note that another potential explanation could be a criminal record. Someone may have all the necessary skills and experience, but may not be able to get one due to past criminal convictions.

My rule: Don't let a customer decide what is urgent and what is not. Yes, I said it. For some people, everything is urgent.

If you get a customer email and YOU realize that this is indeed urgent (site down etc), then you respond as you need to. If you don't think this is urgent, do not respond right away. One thing I do is to use the "Schedule Send" feature in gmail. I write up the email (if I don't want to do it later or forget) but then I use schedule send to actually send it delayed.

Smarter how? Whatever you're referring to, it doesn't seem to actually produce better outcomes. The smart people who achieved success 50 years ago certainly didn't do it by memorizing a lot of facts.
This is getting off-topic. But it still is.

I'll stipulate that in this scenario the data themselves are not actually biased. Whilst in reality these data often are biased by things like disproportionate policing and heavy punishhment.

Even then, discriminating by government based on race is bad even when a statistical basis for such discrimination exists. What makes "race" problematic to discriminate on is how easy it is to see "race". Or rather, how easily most people classify and distinguish between ethnicities based on how they look.

For an example, lets start with a small difference between blue and green people.
blue people are twice as likely to commit crime as green people, with a criminality rate of 0.2% vs 0.1%.
If this starts being how you police, if this 2x difference starts guiding decisions, then a lot of innocent people start being disadvantaged. The extra problem is that it is very easy to see if someone is blue or green. So it becomes really easy for a lot of people to start acting based on this 2x difference. This harms all blue people which is disproportionate. It then becomes a lot easier to get to the feedback loop you talked about.

Hetzner Cloud – Data loss incident
Data loss incident (snapshots)

Dear Customer,
Unfortunately, we have to inform you that there was a data loss incident that affects a small amount of your snapshots on Hetzner Cloud.
All snapshots you create are stored on our highly available storage systems. The snapshot contents are distributed over multiple internal servers and data is stored in a way that allows up to two separate disks to fail without impacting data integrity.
This means the snapshot can still be accessed, even if two disks fail at the same time.
Due to a recent, very unfortunate series of events in one of our clusters, multiple disks failed in short succession and caused a small number of snapshots to become unavailable.
We immediately tried to recover the affected snapshots but unfortunately the data is lost and we have exhausted all our options.

Affected snapshots in your account:
XXXXXXXXX

The snapshots have been removed from our system as they are no longer accessible.
We sincerely hope this doesn’t cause too much trouble for you; we know losing data is the worst-case scenario. Also, we have added 20€ as Cloud Credits to your account (valid for one year). While we know that this will not bring back your data, we still hope that you will accept the gesture.
In response to this we will re-evaluate our snapshot cluster data replication strategies as well as our strategies for replacing disks and rebuilding redundancy after replacement.

Best Regards,
Hetzner Cloud
> So you add a gender modifier and skin color modifier to change the appearance. You don't add multiple code points.

FWIW that's true for the skin colors (there are 5 fitzpatrick scale modifiers, U+1F3FB to U+1F3FF), but it's not true for the gender: the basic gendered characters (e.g. U+1F468 "MAN", U+1F469 "WOMAN") were part of the original set "merged" from japanese emoji so the gender-neutral equivalent (e.g. U+1F9D1 "ADULT") was added as a separate codepoints.

My wife put some water in the microwave for tea and left the room. When it was done, I put the tea ball in it and set the timer for her. Thinking that she would be back in the room in a few minutes and the timer would let her know it was ready.

I think the unique ID system should be fixed (without damaging privacy); we have the technology to fix IDs to identify people and let them ID themselves or do KYC without the current fraude prone and error prone setup. I understand this is a big undertaking, at the start, but in the end, it will be easier for most people, harder or impossible for fraudsters and easier for the government. Indeed having a unique UUID assigned at birth or when moving into the country is a first step and trivial to check for even if it is, in essence, anonymous.
It’s not an unequal divide in emotional labor. He is doing what he sees fit, but she requires much more.

If I’m content to live at level 10, so do level 5 work, I’m not being lazy. If she requires living at level 20, she will then need to do level 15 work.

She will view him as slacking off, but in reality, he isn’t. They just have different standards. It is no more correct for her to force him to level 20 as for him to force her to level 10. It’s simply an incompatibility that they didn’t consider when marrying.

What would it mean for it to matter? Does it matter to wikipedia or those voting what we discuss here? Very unlikely.

But internally for an individual trying to understand why someone else would make a choice that they themselves would not, it does matter for improving our own understanding and empathy. If you choose B but I would choose A if I were in your shame shoes, then either I don't understand your shoes well enough to call them the same or I'm missing some understanding of the issue. Even in the case where we could objectively determine that A was the correct choice, if I don't understand why you choose B then I'm still missing something about the situation.

This could be just to sate curiosity, but enough instances of similar behavior allows us to better understand and empathize with others. When it comes to an issue we think we understand better than most other issues, to have a disagreement in what we would've done is much more striking and indicative of some flaw in our understanding. If this was a bunch of surgeons picking some post-surgery recovery practice to recommend, I could easily dismiss the difference in me not understanding the topic well enough. If it is instead a kid picking a different answer than I would on a test after I helped tutor them, then it is a much clearer indication that I'm missing something in tutoring. Maybe a bad assumption about prior knowledge, maybe an unknown to me issue with test taking like them having significant test anxiety that doesn't show up in tutoring, ect.
Yeah, gonna have to agree with you here. The guy appears to be downplaying his role by trying to make it a narrative about glasses by the dishwasher, but if you were to hear the wife's perspective being boiled down to "I am not your maid", that would put things in a very different light. Then, it's not about glasses or socks or messy storage spaces or how inconsequential any of those seem to any particular person, it's about who has to pick up the slack and why.

If anyone here is a guy finding themselves siding with the guy in this story, one way to "see things from the other side" is to imagine a scenario that is traditionally reversed in terms of gender roles. For example a scenario where your partner leaves hair clogging the bathtub and you have to clean up after them every time. And go buy drano and get dirty plunging the drain for 5 minutes every once in a blue moon. After repeatedly complaining about the issue for over a decade. "What do you mean I never clean up, I do my best to try to remember to do it. It's not a big deal. The pipes being old aren't my fault" they say every time. Be honest and tell me your immediate armchair solution isn't to bail out of that relationship.
Then it will be rejected by the person using DALL-E, or someone else in the publishing chain? Maybe an automated reverse image search AI?

I don't think anyone (yet) imagines all the humans at the NYT will be replaced by GPTX+DALL-E. We still have editors even though humans author the articles.
Your comment reminds me of the following. My wife and I have been married over 30 years now. Our total household is 7 persons.

A couple years ago, my wife was complaining once again about someone using scissors and not bringing them back to their proper storage place. "How can we have 3 pair of scissors and none of them are here when I need to use one?" This didn't bother me but hearing her complain about it did bother me. After a couple attempts to reason, "it isn't that big of deal to track a pair down" or "how often do we really use them?", I decided that abundance was a better solution. I found a 4 pack of decent scissors for about $12.

So for $12 dollars I have never heard that complaint again because even if someone walks off with one and doesn't get it back right away there are several more. So my wife doesn't doesn't experience that frustration and it keeps her from getting fixated on something as insignificant as the location of pair of scissors. And, I have already decided that if it happens again I will buy another pack. They are surprisingly good scissors for $3 each.

I think my broader point was that we as humans are sometimes irrational about certain annoyances in life. And, if I can find a way to spend some money and just solve the issue that is probably a good use of money.
