What? This is revisionist as all get out, and it's not like a founder of reddit should be anecdotally referenced as a source for "reddit was always more popular than digg. they just had toolbar spyware" This comment is laughably ego driven.

The "v4 disaster" was the nail in the coffin where everyone left digg for good. Leaving digg for reddit became a meme in late 2008. It's no shock at all that by the v4 exodus in 2010 reddit was more popular. However 2007-2008 there were questions about which was a more compelling platform/format and which would foster a real community. By 2010 that question was answered, for sure, but "reddit always had more traffic but digg ranked higher cause toolbars" is borderline absurd.
No, it doesn't make sense because we're not in a situation where we have to stop terrorism from happening. It's just a made up scenario, a false dilemma, terrorism or independence.

Terrorism in Catalonia was a thing years ago but it stopped. They never went as far as the ETA terrorist group from the Basque Country. And even then, independence was not an option. If you start conceding things under the thread of terrorism, where do you draw the line?

The Spanish constitution is clear. You can't claim/vote for independence. As in any other modern country we are subject to the rule of law so if they want independence, they should start by trying to change the constitution.

> I'm not the type to get bitchy with customer service reps. I've managed teams that do that job, and I know how scripted their support has to be.

"has to be" burns. It could be different. Why is a script essential? These support scripts drive me crazy. I would probably melt down in the OP's case.

Answers like "they allow less skilled first line workers" don't count because one could hire skillful people to solve problems on first contact.
Fed Ex (quite surprising) have decided that freely providing delivery dates to consumers is too value to leave to third parties...

...or to leave to the shipping endpoint customer, either. I can't tell you how many clicks it takes to determine when a particular shipment will arrive at my door. Off the top of my head:

0. Email from vendor: "your package has shipped!"

1. Log in to the Fedex account.

2. One would think that post-login that it would take your straight away to the "Manage Your Deliveries" page, because what is the most common action taken by a residential customer post-login? (My guess is, they want to find out when their stuff is going t show up.) But alas, no. It just takes you to the main page, but now you're logged in.

3. Search for that deliveries page...what is it called? Oh, wait, here's a Track button. Nope, that's not the one you want. Go click some more.

4. Finally find the Manage Your Deliveries option in some buried menu. Click it. It won't take your directly to the shipment that you originally were looking for, but it's in the neighborhood.

5. Ah, the Manage Your Deliveries page, where I can find out when the package will arrive.

6. "A label has been created, but the shipment hasn't been dropped off yet, so we haven't the first fucking clue when your package will arrive. But be sure to come back tomorrow to do this whole exercise again!"

I'm almost to the point of preferring vendors that use DHL instead of FedEx. It's that bad.
May be Google can have trusted contacts to help the account recovery. If I set-up 5 trusted contacts, all of them would receive different temp passwords and the temp passwords from at least 3 would be necessary to recover. The only risk is 3 out of 5 trusted contacts getting compromised at the same time or 3 of them colluding which again is unlikely with trusted contacts.

That’s a remarkable misinterpretation. What I meant by “dated” was that it’s no longer the case that women don’t serve in militaries. “Women and children” in a military context is historically a term to distinguish men (who can fight, or are expected to know skills that can help in a war effort) from everyone else.
Every time I opened it this year it begged me to register. So they could capture my personal information to market to next year, or try to get me to “subscribe.” It seemed to also prompt again at exit.

Really irritated me that I couldn’t opt out permanently but had to click skip every single time.

And I’m tired of the progress bars pretending to be calculating in order to make me feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

And yet I buy it begrudgingly every year because it is what I know, and it imports data fairly well from my online accounts.

Do the alternative brands import w2’s and previous year’s turbo tax files? Does it integrate with online brokers for pulling 1099’s?

No, you're not wrong if you're referring to methanol, you could well say methanol 'pickles' the liver and you'd be correct. With ethanol it's somewhat different, chimeracoder is correct when he says alcohol (i.e.: ethanol) is metabolized into acetaldehyde. Here's a slightly more detailed account:

From my understanding acetaldehyde is formed in the body by the partial oxidation of ethanol—if one's body oxidized it completely then I guess there would be little problem (but it doesn't)! Instead, the body has two goes at 'neutralizing' ethanol, acetaldehyde being the first metabolite and the second is that acetaldehyde is converted into vinegar (acetic acid) which is essentially harmless.

Methanol is worse—much more so. It's first-pass metabolite is formaldehyde (right, it's an excellent 'pickling' preservative), and the second-pass metabolite is formic acid (that's the stuff ants sting you with). Thus methanol double-whammies you and unfortunately it does it par excellence.

Methanol is damn horrible stuff really, less than 100ml can kill one outright and if you survive then, as chimeracoder says correctly, you'll likely be left permanently blind not to mention ending up with other serious problems. In fact, one of the emergency procedures for methanol poisoning is to repeatedly give copious quantities of ethanol for quite some length of time—as in the first instance it substitutes for methanol, ethanol's delaying action then gives the body much longer to metabolize methanol and this delay has the effect of ameliorating some of the damage it causes. Here, ethanol is much the lesser of two evils.

That said, acetaldehyde is more toxic than ethanol and it's far from being benign (for starters it's what gives you your hangover but that's not the end of it). Whilst it doesn't have the immediate punch of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde is nevertheless still dangerous for several reasons, first the body is capable of metabolizing ethanol in the liver with the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase however this process is not exactly straightforward nor is the metabolism of ethanol completely benign; second, the dangerous aspects of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase's metabolism of ethanol is that it often results in cumulative damage to the liver over the long-term, especially so when ethanol is taken in large amounts.

There's a few Wikis on this but they're a bit complicated for a quick understanding, nevertheless the second link on alcoholic liver disease has a nice diagram that illustrates how long-term liver damage happens:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaldehyde_dehydrogenase

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_liver_disease

Right, I shouldn't have used the word 'pickling' but I was using it in the vernacular and, as here, I did actually use it in inverted commas.

Another way of looking at it is that long-term ethanol/acetaldehyde damage to the liver leads to cirrhosis of the liver—and cirrhosis is in effect the death of liver cells which are then replaced by scar tissue (that's close enough to 'pickling' methinks).
It's not even the stock market - buying stocks is an investment into a company, meaning the company has access to more funds which can be used to grow the business and generate more revenue, cryptocurrency trading is just shifting bits around, it doesn't create any new value.
You're assuming here that there are discrete stages that do different things. I think a better way to conceptualise these deepnets is that they're doing exactly what you want - each layer is "correcting" the mistakes of the previous layer.

Recently we had to deal with amazon. And we try not to Karen when we call any customer support. But man does the getting audibly angry and asking for a manager actually get the ball rolling. There's a reason people do this, and the reason is because companies don't care until you show some anger.
>> Uber was not pursuing more liberal entry and pricing rules but working to effectively nullify any form of governmental oversight. This meant eliminating the public’s right to establish standards for market competition, safety, insurance, driver licensing, vehicle maintenance, or obligations to provide services to all people and neighborhoods in a city.

Former cab driver here. I was astonished and disgusted by exactly this set of issues when Uber emerged. Taxi drivers had to take tests, undergo frequent safety checks, random stops. We had to take calls in all neighborhoods while on shift. And driving was a full time job. There was no surge pricing. Meanwhile, when Uber came out, I remember everyone in the general public hating on taxis as being too expensive, or dirty or old fashioned or something. People didn't understand what they were trading away, or that they were only temporarily getting something for nothing.

Pre-Uber, (and pre smart phone) I had the idea of building an SMS based service that would distribute pickup requests to drivers who paid a small fee for it. The trouble was, that would have been illegal, because it ran afoul of decades of regulation around how calls were fairly dispatched and who could dispatch them. Uber just came and broke all the laws for consumer protection and got away with it, through a combination of threats and bribery of local officials.

I think what you are noticing is that the frequency of light emitted from halogen is very wide and generally warmer in color (almost orange), but at the other end of the scale, LED lights are a very narrow range of (blue white) light frequencies whilst being energy efficient makes it harder to see at night because the eyes are not used to this narrow band of light frequencies.

What I dont like about LED's is I can see them flickering in some situations, you dont get that with the warmer halogen bulbs, but even with halogen bulbs, you can see how a car is wired by seeing which brake light comes on first as the electricity moves down the circuit to the next brake light. In other words you can work out what side the wiring loom runs down to the back of the car!
1. He needs Tesla to be highly profitable to achieve his ambitious goals of renewable energy. It's expensive to build factories, etc.

2. He needs SpaceX to be highly profitable to achieve his ambitious goals of multi-planetary life. It's expensive to build rockets, etc.

3. He doesn't need Twitter to highly profitable to achieve his ambitious goals of making it a global free speech platform. It's relatively cheap to run an internet service.

This is an entirely consistent point of view.

Yeah, certainly there could be more creative solutions here. Running power out to the street is a challenging and big job (particularly when there's sidewalks and other city property involved), but I definitely agree that gas stations aren't the most ideal solution, just that "put a charger in your driveway" isn't a universal home run of a solution.

As a one time political activist, I’ve met plenty of folks with strong convictions that are very pleasant people. The pacifist, vegan, transgender campaigner I am thinking of would never take the approach you’re describing.

I’ve been to events supporting a cause. They are full of people who, in support of their passionate convictions, try to help and persuade people to join them without reducing personal dilemmas to simplistic answers.

It makes me wonder: if strong convictions don’t cause or correlate to how you treat people, is there another explanation for why it’s so easy to find such anecdotes?

No. You're definitely wrong about that.

Oh nice, I wasn't aware of that. I developed apps for iOS in the past, and have found the restrictions on iOS to affect the quality of apps. For example, to use Google Assistant, one has to say "Hey Siri, Ok Google". The UX around this feature (eg being listened to by multiple devices) is also not handled well so much so this feature is disabled by default.

I understand you didn't like seeing me wrong about Obsidian on iOS, and thanks for linking me to the solution.

However, I would suggest you be less judgemental - assuming someone is childish based on a sentence - isn't very fair. For example, would you tell someone that when face to face?

Have a nice day :)

I recently was in the market for a laptop for personal use, and wanted to spend around $1200-1400 USD for a Windows based machine. All I wanted was a decently powerful CPU, higher resolution screen, and a thin and light body. I simply couldn't get past the fact that most laptops in that price range are gaming focused, and have non-user replaceable components. They also tend to have plastic bodies and most I saw were running Windows 11. I got turned off by the PC market pretty quick.

I ultimately decided to get a new Macbook Pro 14in (on sale for $1750) and have 0 regrets so far.

While a D.S. sufferer has intellectual disability, its severity may vary a lot, with some cases mild enough that the capability of giving consent might be there.

Then there are mosaic cases, which are in the middle between a full Down Syndrome and normalcy. In mosaic cases, only a certain percentage of cells is afflicted. People with mosaic aneuploidies can often lead fairly normal lives.
This is a great example of the end-to-end argument. Putting smarts in the middle doesn't end up working because you lose the ability to optimize for the application semantics at the ends. It's an "argument" so not guaranteed to be true in all cases but applies here (according to the writer - I know nothing about the specifics of this technology/industry). But interesting to see the pattern recreated.
Yes.

I don't think it's related to national ID system though. The Social Security Number (or Tax Identification Number for non-citizen non-residents) does serve as a national ID for tax purposes. The IRS certainly already does have your W2's and does know who you are, that's not an issue.

The main issue is what the OP is about, that the US was considering creating such a system, but the tax prep software people lobbied against it.

I also wonder how much of an issue is the crazy complexity of the US tax code; it seems ridiculously complex to me, even for people without complicated or large income, I suspect it's a lot simpler in Spain. But this is just me guessing.
Siri is the biggest example, as a product which crosses SW/HW/services boundaries across nearly every device they make. Apple owns the whole stack down to the silicon, yet Siri is still not where it needs to be. Looking in from the outside, I suspect their organizational structure is standing in the way.

I've been disappointed with my Lenovo Chromebook. It's more unstable than Windows 98 for anyone that yearns for the good old days. Several times a day I would be typing away and it would restart without warning. The previous sentence is past tense because I gave up and now use only the browser.
Personal experience: every year TurboTax gets at least one thing wrong per filing, and it's always a different thing. Always love getting stopped at the "error check" with a question about how some field that's supposed to be a zero is blank, or some field that's supposed to be blank is a zero, because the guided questions and the tax forms aren't communicating properly.

State taxes are full of really confusingly-worded questions and things I've never heard of, with little explanation as to what means what. At least the federal section has proper explanations of things.
Totally. This is lost on a lot of developers. Even having a rudimentary knowledge of Shell Command Language saves a lot of otherwise wasted time.

Most programmers are -X programmers.

Anything above +0.5 is fine.

2 is amazing.

Above that it's in spurts, luck, or some kind of specific focus or area of focus and it's usually necessary and you risk actually having failure, in which the >2x is mitigated by failure back to something normalized lower.
I don't disagree with your classification of cheating. I don't believe that technology is necessarily always a good fit for social problems. What I take issue with is a blunt dismissal of technology as a practical solution for social problems. Sometimes it's a good fit, sometimes it's a bad fit, sometimes it's the only solution we've got and the other solutions are either imaginary or worse ones.

Some of the complexity is also due to the design of our governments. I don’t know much about taxes in Spain, but I’d guess the number of income tax jurisdictions there is not a 3 digit number.
