> And if someone is offering free NFTs or free dog shit you're more likely to get some use out of the latter.

I only own 1 NFT that was free to mint (NFT Worlds) and the floor value is ~$20k, plus they airdropped some tokens worth over $5k. It also just so happens this is one of the NFTs someone will get more use out of than dog shit.

Market value aside, the intrinsic value of the NFT is that at any moment I can trustlessly make it available for acquisition and the prospective buyer doesn’t need to worry that it’s a counterfeit, and I don’t need to worry about any chargeback. However, you are correct that depending on the asset a given NFT represents, there could be additional real world components rendering the NFT to something of legal title to a real world asset, but the intrinsic value of the NFT remains (the ability to trustlessly sell/acquire legal title in a censorship resistant global market).

> Right now even definition of "woman" is a mine field.

It is not. New words have been added to the vocabulary in order to better describe the world around us. So someone might choose to be called by one of those new words. But women are still women and people who are not women, well, they already weren't women.

Think of it like code. It used to be that the only options were ["man", "woman"]. Now new strings have been pushed to this list because people noticed that it did not cover all users.

What you are describing is the frustration that some people feel on being called by the wrong word.

But this has always been the case.

Call any human by the wrong label and frustration will be felt. That's not new.

I have clear memories from decades ago of a long haired man who I was friend with being angry at being called "woman" and one of my aunt who has a deep voiced being angry at being called "sir" over the phone.

if(user.genderIdentity !== wordUsed) { frustration++; }

That line of "code" has always been present.

My point is different. Recovery is the hardest problem in authentication, but when you're as big and as significant as Google is, you owe it to your users, paying or not, to get it right, however hard it is.

> but should work the same at the infrastructure layer in a year

It's been my experience. For example, I've had periodic data fetching jobs last for years without giving them any thought. In some cases I've gone back years later and found them still chugging away, obediently putting data where I told them to years earlier. The one exception I can think of is when Lambda EOL'd Python 2.7, but that happened about 12 years after Python 3's initial release.

I've found the same to be true of web services. I have one that's been running continuously for 5+ years that I actually forgot about until just now.

>"just an extension of the outrage culture that got us the War on Christmas."

It's funny you mention that, because even as an Atheist I realize that Christmas as it exists today is almost completely secularized and has very little to do with Jesus Christ and the religion of Christianity. If you look at the celebrations and the iconography with an outsider's perspective, the holiday seems to be about Santa Claus and presents. I don't think any other major religion has had one of its holiest holidays commercialized and secularized to such an extent.

I'm no Christian, far from it actually, but I can see the merit behind their reaction. "War" is hyperbolic but I understand how they feel. Because it really does seem like their high holy holiday has been, and is continuing to be, de-Christianized.

> usually have an objective fix

Well, nowadays. Keeping in mind that the only reason English spelling is standardized in 2022 is the waves of intentional English language spelling standardizations that occurred in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries, each of which was supported by dictionaries, education programs, and a general messaging that it would be the intelligent thing to do to get on board with the standard.

I can't help but wonder if people decried the idea of standardization back then. "It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word." ~Andrew Jackson, 1833

(... typing these sentences has triggered my spell-checker three times. I have accepted two suggestions and taken the liberty of disagreeing with the third, after a cross-check with my dictionary to confirm my spelling). ;)
Regarding numbers, Javascript supports bigints now - which makes the situation a little bit better. (But maybe a lot more complex).

USA is a "salad bowl", it expects immigrants and varied cultures. Basically, coming from anywhere in the world, with some getting used to, you can blend in.

Japan is much more homogeneous culturally, and as an immigrant you will always be a stranger. Even if people will be nice and polite towards you, they likely won't be able to treat you as they would treat a Japanese, because you'd miss the cultural context which builds up from early childhood on.
Just have in mind that longer paragraphs of text (in english) are more readable if the width of the text is 60-70 characters. But if your web-site is done by the book, a browser can detect longer texts and will allow the visitors to switch to reader mode and read the text in a format that is best for them.
It looks like Netlify is essentially reselling Deno Deploy as is, not building a higher-level service on top of it. And latency matters in CDNs.

Compile-to-JS is a leaky abstraction that gets messy when JavaScript's type system and built-ins collide with your language's. Some languages also need specialized tooling for their compile-to-JS stuff, rather than treating it as just another compile target.

I usually find it causes more problems than it solves, but I'm hopeful that someday WebAssembly can make compile-for-Web transparent enough that non-JS languages really feel like a great experience in the browser.

An actual example from one of those tweets:

INCLUSIVE WARNING
Some of these words may not be inclusive to all readers. Try instead:
'property owner' or 'proprietor'

Those are not suitable alternatives for the word 'landlord'. The word has meaning that the others don't. Trying to delete it from our language is regressive and oppressive.

If Google's new 'service' is going to start training people like this, I hate it.

Netflix shares drop 26% after it loses 200K subscribers
I believe this talk [0] by James Mickens is very applicable. He touches on trusting neural nets with decisions that have real-world consequences. It is insightful and hilarious but also terrifying.

_Underscores_ still work, even if they don't get converted into <u></u>, they convey the meaning just fine.

not the OP and not so much politics but I found it decidedly weird how Sex Education which is set in a fictional town in the UK, is filmed in Wales, with an almost exclusively British cast is completely Americanized.

As far as politics goes Bridgerton is probably the best example which has American racial and gender politics bolted onto some weird fairy tale version of the British aristocracy in the worst way imaginable.

edit: another thing I just remembered, Netflix removed what is probably the best episode of Community from its catalog because of a blackface character, despite the fact that the character is explicitly used to address racism in the fantasy genre.
Ok there's a lot of amp hate here, and a lot of it justified, but when amp first picked up steam as just a regular mobile user it was amazing. I basically filtered searches to only look at those with the amp icon because in the real world in real conditions on mobile connections they legitimately & consistently loaded 10x faster than non-amp pages. And basically never had the dreaded random scroll jumps during loading.

Since then networks & phones got faster, a lot faster, and the difference maybe isn't worth the cost anymore. Also I think the amp restrictions have greatly relaxed, making amp just as slow? But "single worst thing"? Hardly. At launch it delivered and big time, the UX experience was night & day.
A squiggly line under "Eskimos" that says:

"The name Eskimo is considered derogatory because it was given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean 'eater of raw meat."

is a historical and sociological context.

If you are writing about the uses of the word "Eskimo", you click "skip this word" and the word will remain in your text.

If the added context has you believe that using the word in your text might anger the very demographic you are writing a text on, you click "replace word".

If you choose to ignore the context and keep using the word at the risk of angering the community you are writing about, you click "never show this again". But at this point, don't complain if people are angry at your text.

That's it.

I bet you can simply turn off the feature altogether like you can in other software.
Stem majors both times. Found English courses to be interesting and euro history courses to be particularly interesting as electives. Depended on the subject, class size and charisma of the teacher. Math courses boring as snot with bad teachers. Heavy memorization courses such as Orgo similarly boring. And it was a big school with a famous name. Grad school all in discipline so it didn’t really count.

I feel people with no sense of history really suffer when trying to discern trends and developments. Thus, learning and debating over why things happened was quite pertinent to being aware of what was going down outside. But it was much more f2f than today seems to be and that was a good thing. There were computers to play with but you could not move them and so had to share them.
> It makes no difference at that point what is shown in the address bar, as the page has already been served.

If this were truly the case (that it didn't matter), the argument can be made that there is no reason to change the host -- just show it as google.com like it does now. The only reason that you'd want the address bar to show a different domain (i.e. the "author" rather than "publisher") is exactly because it _does matter_ to the user!
When you think of "Playing a long game" when applied to a tech company, you probably think "longer than the next year". Maybe you think "the next 5 years".

Nintendo was founded in 1889. They are for sure playing a long game measured in decades. They definitely don't obey the same "laws of physics" other console manufacturers seem beholden to.

It's unwise to think Nintendo is acting out of ignorance.

A larger scale attack in Russia near Bolgorod is a bit of a stretch and would give Putin an excuse to use tactical nukes, but insurgencies should work. I agree about the Kerch land bridge and the port disabled, the thing is that I don't know if they have the resources to do that.
I’m currently subscribed to a bunch of streamers. I usually turn first to HBO or Hulu, then YouTube or Amazon Prime, then Apple TV+ (which has less content overall but really good shows lately), and finally Netflix as a last resort.

In fact I rarely open Netflix unless I’ve already heard about something I want to check out. I really don’t like wading through their recommendations.

With the frequent price increases, it’s getting harder and harder to justify.

There are a host of "woke" modern themes that find their way into western media in general. I sometimes wonder if the next star trek crew will be all David bowies and Barclays.

> the general case, to convert colors from one colorspace to another without information loss.

Even in the general case that's not true for new televisions: These typically convert from a smaller space to a large one, which can be done 100% losslessly and accurately as intended.

This is quite common, because as TV panel capabilities have largely outstripped the distribution and encoding standards. For example, Rec.709 (the HD standard) is smaller than what any modern 4K TV can display.

The 4K Rec.2020 standard is huge, but it only exceeds typical panel capabilities along the green axis. This may seem like conversion would be lossy, but if you look carefully at video metadata, it ofen specifies that the "content gamut" is smaller. That is, most modern 4K HDR content is mastered on a display that "merely" has a gamut like Display P3, so that's all you need to reproduce it 1:1.

None of this is done by Samsung. They always stretch colours up to the maximum capability of the panel. These days, that's very close to the full Rec.2020 gamut and looks downright garish. Even if "AI enhanced" or whatever, it's wrong. Colours are distorted and nowhere near the original intent.

I see the "{place} should be affordable for anyone who wants to live in {place}" folks are out again.

I'm pretty sure that there are at least 100k, if not 10M, people who'd like to live in Yosemite Valley. Should they be accommodated?

Okay, that's transforming "pastoral" to "urban" and they don't mean that.

I'm pretty sure that there are 10M more people who'd like to live in London (current metro population 14M, London city is 9k, with 500k workers) and at least 2M more people who'd like to live in San Francisco (current population under 900k).

Should those people be accomodated?

I ask because whatever it is that makes London and SF "good" will likely change significantly with the addition of that many people.

Why are the current residents obligated to accept that change?

Matchgalore.com (Applied to YC S22)
Hi guys, a couple weeks ago my friend and I applied to S22. It's a simple and hopefully refreshing take on matchmaking app. We opened an mvp today at https://matchgalore.com/ and also set up r/matchgalore where we plan to recruit members from other subreddits.

With high school math, you can figure out what percent increase that is per year:

((79760/51574)^(1/11) - 1) * 100 = 4%

In 20 more years:

79760 * 1.04^10 = $118000

Your guess is pretty good.
So it was basically "write optimized", fully normalized, required at least a half dozen joins to get anything out of it?

There are housing insecure people who need housing now and not some nebulous time in the future when the market could, theoretically, correct itself. Markets are notorious for remaining irrational in the face of obvious market forces that should, theoretically, influence them. While we wait for housing to trickle down, people will go without homes, possibly for decades. It's a classic market failure, and doubling down on "markets but more this time" might not exactly help, either.

Yes, even in the US. But of course, given enough influence, you can make absolutely anything non-inclusive. And social pressure will make everyone have to accept it.
