My top 5 reforms would be

1. Wyoming Rule, expanding the size of the house

2. Electoral College 1 vote goes to who ever wins each Congressional district in the state, with the 2 state wide Votes going to who wins the entire state

3. Instant Run off or Ranked Choice Voting for all federal positions

4. Removal of party affiliation from ballot, vote for people not parties

5. Congressional districts should be set by non-political entity, like the Postal Service, or some other entity not state legislatures. This one I am less clear on, but gerrymandering would cause huge problems for #2.
Yes. I just tested it to verify on this gif

Fwiw, it sounds like this was just one of many incidents with Kipman. The forced shoulder massage is probably worse. But just the fact that HR reps apparently have to keep an eye on him at all times and managers make a habit of warning employees about him speaks volumes.
That's what a "Q" means in this context. It's a git hosting service.

Thank you for sharing! I wish more people were transparent about money (to know what's possible).

In my example, I created Video Hub App that sells for $5 (and $3.50 goes to a cost-effective charity). I'm averaging about $500 for over a year now (with almost $15,000 donated to charity).

That's why many larger employers (including Walmart) now offer unbanked employees the option of getting paid with a pre-paid card instead of a paper check.
>small, focused subreddits are great.

No, not in my experience. Not compared to small focused forums on any moderately complex or interesting topic anyway. The whole format is designed for quick throwaway content and not for having long nuanced discussions and so the subreddit will be oriented towards just that. Worse still I think it might even poison the brains of the Redditors into thinking that the subreddit is all their is to the topic.

My read is that there's a refresh job that's doing hundreds of full git clones even for packages that don't have users.

Package with approx. zero users:

Full clones:

They disabled refreshes (for someone else) to fix the issue:

So maybe there is some caching happening between the user and the mirror, but the mirror is hammering the origin with much more load than should be needed.
This is basically what people mean by The Metaverse. Digital cash + social interaction + player created environment and content. Getting all three of those right will be a big winner since it will literally mean the creation of a second world that people can inhabit.

What about the Brave browser in a private window? That used Tor but theoretically also has some added protection because of the browser. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
There is a difference between not writing bugs, and checking your invariants.

If you have not read implementation code you are dependent on, you by sefinition have not had the signal that raises that invariant violation into your consciousness.

It would be like a civil engineer building a bridge out of limestone at a thickness that would require a larger thickness of steel and just saying "to hell with it, go figure it out".

The write-only programmer is a threat to themselves and everyone around them. And to be frank, even more dangerous are those members of management who have their expectations around implementation time so skewed by this cavalier attitude toward knowing the dynamics of your stack.

You will make bugs. Crossed invariants are completely preventable though.
It's not _just_ a matter of genetics. But I'm pretty sure the supermarket ones have been bred for looks and shelf life.

I've grown store bought tomatoes. Last year we hardly bought any as the production was enough even though I have a tiny backyard.

There is some difference. Supermarket ones are a little bit more bland, and way bigger. But the difference in taste is minimal and you can only tell if you got them side by side.

However, if I compare supermarket tomatoes in the US vs supermarket tomatoes in Brazil, the ones in the US taste like water. They look different too (the brazilian ones don't usually look like a cartoon drawing, they are less 'perfect' visually).

If I could import seeds (not allowed!) I would, just so I could finally compare like with like (weather conditions, soil, etc).

> Out of curiosity, what's your workflow look like that you're ending up with so many "dirty" screenshots that it wants to know if it should save or not?

Yes, screenshot part of the screen, do a quick edit or highlight in Preview, and paste it to GitHub or email. I never want the screenshots to be saved to disk but end up with my Preview full of "dirty" screenshots.
That does sound like a very sad end to it. Must have been a great project though. Would it be okay if you told us what it was like?

Human Revolution did a lot of great things, and Mankind Divided improved even more with exception of the abrupt end.

But there's something about the original that is hard to point, that make it unique and hard to replicate. It's probably not a single thing, how all things work so well together.
I usually opt for k3d, because it gives you a cluster (or multiple) that runs inside a docker container. If you already have docker running, it's a quick and easy solution for setting up and destroying local clusters.

This is very true. Resistive touchscreens were slower, less reliable, and IIRC had coarser position sensing. Since we're talking about history, it's also worth noting that early opinions on touchscreens tended to assume they would be desk-mounted or wall-mounted, which leads to the gorilla arm problem.
You say as if that was a bad thing
The term is certainly ambiguous - I don't think anyone would argue that the right to legal counsel is 'God-given' and people arguing for universal single-payer healthcare aren't saying that the right to access a national healthcare system is an innate human freedom. And many things we call 'rights', like voting or owning a gun, can be revoked by the government under certain conditions.

In practice in the U.S. we pretty much call things 'rights' any time we believe that people should have them by default.
That's a reasonable perspective, but as someone with no stakes in it I would hope that Google prioritizes its users first and foremost. Note that:

* I am not saying that these interests are mutually exclusive.

* I am also not asserting that Google search is presently doing a good job serving its users, far from it in my personal opinion.

I certainly want "customer satisfaction" to be the big deal, however. I'm not quite sure why you put that term in quotes.

There was also a problem with populations lacking enough iodine in their diet that was addressed with food additives, specifically iodized salt which had a major health benefit across the nation. These types of solutions work. It's a continual source of frustration when systemic issues are dismissed simply as matters of "personal responsibility".

> The U.S. was historically iodine deficient prior to the early 1920s, particularly in the goiter belt region of the Great Lakes, Appalachians, and the northwestern area of the country, due to the effects of natural atmospheric processes. Following the successful implementation of salt iodization program in Switzerland, the introduction of iodized table salt in the U.S. during the 1920s significantly improved its iodine nutritional status. However, although recent national studies demonstrate that the general population is overall iodine sufficient, salt iodization in the U.S. is not universal, and certain subsets of the population, including pregnant and lactating women and their offspring, may be at risk for mild to moderate iodine deficiency. As such, a public health approach by the American Thyroid Association and the Endocrine Society advocate U.S. women to take a supplement containing 150 µg iodine/day beginning preconception.

> And make it difficult to get weapons which can cause outsized damage.

If people actually proposed laws that did that, we could have a real discussion about that. But instead, we get bills that are about outlawing guns that look scary. That's pointless. The pro-gun people (rightly, IMO) refuse to accept limitations that won't serve the stated purpose.
In my experience, the annoyances list in ublock orogin (and possibly others), which is disabled by default, drastically reduces the amount of such pop-ups.

I want a VR game where you're a bumblebee who's goal is to collect pollen in a yard. Your opponent is a spider who's goal is to catch you. They get to set up webs around the flowers before you spawn in, and maybe they can also shoot sticky webs at you to trap you.

Whenever you are trapped by the spider you get to enjoy the fully-immersive experience only VR can deliver of being eaten alive by a spider! Fun for the whole family!!

Sorry I realised this is a bit unclear. I should not have said remote control, but remote player. Squeezelite is a player and they definitely run on a pi. So with an LMS running on a one pi with a disk attached to it, and several other pis (possible with screens attached) you can run a fully synchronized home system that can run your own music, but also spotify and many of the other services as well as online radios (e.g. BBC) and podcasts, there are a lot of plugins.

Yes. But we don't have the stupid gaming aspect where people take on debt that they don't need in order to "build a credit" score.

It is only a proof of income, outstanding debts (that you are required to reveal), and the hopefully lack of past non-payments that count. You can't "build your" score buy using a bunch of credit cards and paying every month.

I live in Europe, and do not have a credit-card (only debit) have no need for credit, since I do not spend money that I do not have.

If I was in the US, I would probably have a credit card to "build my credit".

It is like if I asked my neighbor to lend me money every month and pay them back a second later to build their trust. It is just a stupid game, with no real meaning.
Where did you hear that? Minikube never ceases development.
A multi-scope FPS/strategy game. Choose between:
- a battlefield/CoD-style FPS
- a DOTA/LoL RTS.
- a CiV-style turn-based strategy/simulation game

Each level sets the objectives for the one below, so the RTS players pick a pool of FPS players and set their objectives (go here, attack these other players or this objective).
The CiV players actions determine the maps & matchups of the FPS/RTS players. They could see the stats of teams of other players to decide where to send them (this team with a low K/D ratio should retreat from this enemy team, this team does well on that map, etc).

Balance and matchmaking would be a real technical/game design challenge.

We have something like this in my country, where we have laws against reckless lending.

My mom is unemployed and medically unfit to work. She was given a credit card, which I found out about after a few years. I spent 2 years passively trying to sort the issue out with the bank, to no avail.

I finally went to the banking ombud earlier this year, and the bank wrote off her debt a few days after. I could have gone further and tried to get her "bad credit" from the bank expunged (there's a complaints process), but it disappears after 2 years, so I just left it to be.

I'll do one better. Here's a genre of games that I wish existed: smart board games (SBG's). I define an SBG as a game that (1) relies on all players having a mobile phone to implement game mechanics that would be impractical to approximate solely with analog objects like the traditional tools of board games (e.g., pen, paper, cards, dice, tokens, meeple, boards, etc.); and (2) relies on direct player-to-player interaction that would be impractical unless played face-to-face or via high-fidelity virtual reality.

No board game has yet exploited the fact that everyone has a smart phone in their pocket. There are social mobile games and mobile clones of board games, but their are no games that exploit the power of the ubiquitous mobile phone to create an otherwise impossible in-person board game. The closest game designers have come to this is games like Pokemon Go, but Pokemon Go is not a SBG because it does not rely on player-to-player interaction that requires high-fidelity virtual reality or face-to-face play.

Here are some capabilities SBG's will give game designers:

- Implement complex probabilistic behavior, cause and effect relationships, and scoring

- Accelerate game play by automating score keeping and timekeeping

- Parallelize game play by allowing simultaneous turn-taking

- Reveal certain information to certain players with high granularity

- Allow players to communicate or transact with other players without revealing which player they are interacting with

- Persist detailed game state between game sessions

- Procedural world and character generation

I believe that SBG's will inevitably develop into a rich, hugely varied genre of board games that largely displaces traditional board games, but to my knowledge there isn't a single example commercially available at this time.

The core challenge of designing a compelling SBG will be to exploit the capabilities of the smart phone while simultaneously keeping players focused on the face-to-face interactions that give board games their timeless appeal.
What is "a number"? What is the threshold at which it becomes appropriate to distrust the entire work?

Most of the critique from the right seems to start with the point of view that the 1619 Project should be distrusted and works backwards from there, rather than determining its trustworthiness based on a good-faith reading of the work itself.

From your link:

>The Consolidated Reserves Report alleges that Tether’s reserves included, as of March 2022, $4,959,634,446 of “Other Investments (including digital tokens).” A 3.27% decrease in the value of these investments wipes out all Tether equity and causes their tokens to be undercollateralized.

First this is wrong, equity includes Enterprise Value which the article seems to ignore. The ability to control $70B of float is worth quite a lot enterprise value. They should be able to take out debt against that EV (or even sell shares/equity) if needed to re-collateralize.

They can also handle another 73-5=68B worth of redemptions before they need to touch those "Other Investments".

Using old.reddit.com + Reddit Enhancement Suite extension, and subscribing to subreddits focused on high quality discussion (usually signalled by "Discussion" or "True" in the subreddit name) gives the best experience of the site IMO.

Does your bank not offer a credit card?

Here in the US it is common for banks to both provide traditional banking services and credit cards, and when you open your banking app, both accounts are together.
And thus we come back to the age old quandry. The implicit act of economic violence tucked away into our current society.

I have capital, you don't, do what I want, or starve.

It always comes back to violence.

It would keep me active, help me meet friends, be extremely fun and engaging, and I actually want to do this.

The big communities have always been susceptible to lower content quality and mis/disinformation campaigns. Every forum that gets huge is like this. Facebook descended into this. Slashdot was not panacea before Hacker News and (ironically) Reddit stole much of their traffic.

Hacker News is _still_ not like this because:

1. Their subscriber count is relatively low compared to, say, /r/pics
2. dang and co are basically benevolent tyrants and are ultra quick about removing low-quality discussion
3. The topics are more-or-less consistent, largely due to (2) but also community response that has been shaped by (2) over time

Many of the less popular subs and all of the SUPER-well-moderated large subs (/r/History, /r/askscience) are like this. /r/COVID19 was an extremely important component in the race towards the vaccine, for example, while /r/coronavirus was doomscrolling on tap with lots of disinformation. Both are large communities.

New Reddit aside (old Reddit is safe for now), I don't think much about Reddit has changed in the 10 years I've been on it.
