I'm quite disappointed that even in the year 2022 the best solution HTML offers for rich text editing is the infamous contenteditable attribute.

I can never expect a WYSIWYG editor from a library to work 100% without friction on every platform.

I know it's already near-impossible to implement a web-browser and adding more to the pile of standards/components to implement sounds counter-intuitive. On the other hand, a basic browser that can render just basic HTML and basic CSS is comparatively easy and I would rather have them be able to render a rich-text-field on a low-capability device than being able to do all sorts of JS/CSS magic.

I'm not even against React and all the amazing ecosystem surrounding it - given that your use-case justifies it. I just think auto-completers and rich-text editing and other stuff that nearly every website on this planet re-implements should be standard.
This certainly doesn't look like a embedded device though:

I’ve been fascinated with this idea of photogenic spaces such as restaurants and other spaces where people want to take selfies or group photos, though I have no formal training in interior design or architecture.

I’ve enjoyed visiting the end of year show at the Cooper Union in NYC and it’s clear the architecture students are also interested to envision, qualify and quantify what the viewer and your basic mobile device ‘see’ from different vantage points. For example, lenses have a field of vision which is also effected by distance. Right?

So if you’re asked to have input, you might consider seeing the space and taking some reference photos. What will you see (area) and what can you see (resolution) of the space?

If the space isn’t built yet, and architects are involved, they should have 3D walk through models. They might also have input, though their advice might be to align the server racks at a 20degree angle to the wall or something that would make an engineer scratch their head for the wasted space (space=money).

Of course manufacturers put a lot of design considerations into the bezels and plastic farkles of their products because it does look impressive.

Lacking the budget for a premier brand server, just look at Reddit electricians to see some impressive ‘cable management’ which is pretty to look at.

But honestly, my first reaction to photogenic servers behind glass? Reflections will wreak havoc with the image—you might not see diddly in the photo. Another reason the architect should be consulted.
I think the problem with "political beliefs" is do you really believe in them or do you want to be apart of a club? Pretty much anytime I've had a calm political discussion with someone, I've found out that they're a scatter chart on that political leaning grid instead of a solitary point. Yet they still say I'm this party. Or they're just a parrot for whoever is the poster child that week for whatever party.

Political beliefs when parroted as a clear cut, right/wrong for every situation is what makes people's stomach churn to projectile levels.

Political beliefs when presented as a complex flaw of the human condition that makes us all realize we're better off burning it all to the ground and sleeping on grass again... then enacting a system to severely punish anyone who tries to bring it all back, which would require a group to enact said system with then another group to oversight that group... oh shit wait...
An ok narrative to some degree. Not necessarily for its completeness or even validity of its various statement (within my extent of knowledge), but as a source of thought. Supposedly RU elites organize the functioning of a state in a mafia style which the authors is convinced dictates through which prism they view the world at large. His position is that it leads to 1) always escalatory politics/rhetoric, 2) any changes from outside or within are seen as work of other power groups, and 3) elites parasitically stay in power protecting their subjects against other such groups and resisting change. At the end, he acknowledged that despite the staggering obstacles at present, in the future EU cannot function without diplomacy and trade with RU (and vice-versa I suppose).

That all states are essentially 'mafias' (as a model of modus operandi) should need no elaboration as this has been recognized since Aristotle (perhaps even sooner). The facade of this or that ideological justifications (political -isms) through which the subjects (populace) is manipulated makes some details speciic, but generally very little difference to a normal person. Arguing about and defining (rationalizing) -isms is the sole purpose of the intellectual class of a given state, at least the fraction promoted by the state as it official doctrine. Economically, how much wealth 'state mafia' will siphon out for itself depends less on a particular -ism than on the phase of life-cycle of a particular civilization (roughly speaking).

Hence, I do not see the author's 'discovery' tone of this fact noteworthy. That Russian elites have different structure and 'law of conduct' or 'loyalty code' than their western counterparts is the truth indeed, and it is continuation of its historic developments.

As W. Durant wisely observed in one of his books that we are narrative driven and of feeble intellect in facing the complexity of system such as multiple-civilizations history and current-affairs. What is most important and our goal (as individuals) should be to bear with patience each others delusions. Hence, let me follow this advice here as well, as other do for me.

A concrete defect of this and many such opinions, they (for some understandably) do not use the same metric and principles of all agents throughout the analysis. In any case, there is nothing useful in here (even in my own reply) that could be a building block of tactical plan for real peace.
What's the difference in price between 1km of fiber vs 1km or single pair wire? It might play a role in this solution being cheaper than immediately apparent.
> Bitcoin is the solution

It's the solution to nothing. Nothing.

This is pretty hilarious though, Bitcoin is exactly the same as a variety of other cryptocurrencies, which are carbon copies of it. Identical. But right on cue here come the bitcoin maximalists to explain that theirs is special.

Here's the only reason it's special - brand recognition. That's it. That's what you have over the various forks and clones. First mover advantage.

And this is what tells me that the technology isn't really solving anything, and nobody actually gives a fuck about it - other coins fix problems with BTC, they either make it more anonymous, or resolve transactions faster, or more of them, or all sorts of other things. But BTC still rules the roost because the whole thing is built on hype and sentiment and nothing more.
What do you do with this?
I wish people build _native_ JS library first and then framework library wrapper over that, so at least their library can be used in non-framework environments.

There are lot of great react libraries which I would like to use in non-react applications and it would be great to have that same library in some X framework by just building a wrapper over it.
Something like this is what this is competing with; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314029740243

In the US, you will be able to get these cheaper than the product on Botblox and with better performance (both products require a pair). "20/12Mbps over a long distance of 1.4km"

The author might be more competitive when he managers to go $100/pair (which he mentioned in another post he plans to by Apr 2023).
This idea that 25 is the true age of maturity... is it possible that the thing that makes a 25 year old mature is having had 7 years of adult responsibilities?

If we set the age of adulthood to 25, maybe people won't be mature until 32.
Those are not fundamentals, more like bells and whistles. Fundamentals are strictly dictated by what Google want in the Chrome and its clones and will never change, at least with current trends when even MS switched to Chrome.
Nitpick, but everyone has rights. The difference is there are many places that don't protect them or otherwise infringe upon your ability to exercise them.
If I spent the last 20 years allocating 90% of my savings to SPY, and the remaining 10% in a large-cap tech focussed index, I’ve outperformed SPY. Is that dumb luck or is it a pretty trivial implementation of a sensible investment thesis?

There’s nothing magical about some committee-curated collection of 500 US-only equities which means it outperforms every other option ipso facto.

If you were talking about a normal person actively managing a portfolio I’d be more inclined to agree.
There are a lot of posts that don't make it to the frontpage. Only the ones that 'we' as a community reading this forum find interesting do. Sometimes one has to accept that 'the community' might value one or another thing differently than the individual.

I, for one, find it interesting from the perspective of someone who has thought about giving BSD a spin, but never has.
I was about to point something like this out.
One possible explanation would be glymphatic system dysfunction (failure to clear “junk” during sleep): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34025481/

Pure speculation of course, but it seems possible that low quality sleep would impair this system.
Can you determine an evidence is sufficient if you cannot understand it? You can accept what us happening but can you accept that as evidence of someone's explanation? Water boils at 100c , ok, but why? Because energy is being transfered in the form of heat? Or because the elemental force of fire is incompatible with water and the result is violence?
The human body does not need fiber.
I think we should approach the whole selling-sex thing less emotionally and more logically.

We have extensive rules here in Germany to protect the health of workers. In that spirit, any physical and mental health risks taken by people who are doing sex-work should be insured-to-death.

This work also entails information inequality: Most young workers do not (cannot) really know what they are getting into. We make training a must for wood-workers, why not sex-workers? Make licensing through training a must, also enforce them yearly perhaps. Make regular health-checks a must as well, pricing that into the insurance.

Prosecute people who seek or employ unlicensed sex-workers heavily. This should be seen as bad as abusing children. Following the same logic, the workers should never be afraid to be prosecuted, even when they are not licensed. So I like what California is trying to do too.

Also make sure the Police has some members who speak enough foreign languages to cover at least Eastern Europe languages.
What's the advantage of SPE compared to regular ethernet? That it's cheaper?
Well then they should leave. If corruption is such a no-no in the EU, US, etc., and businesses like Mastercard and Heineken, then this would have to become a tournament of the Qatars and Chinas of the world.
Humans are so funny. Blaming the flawed tools we create for the problems caused by using them in all of our flawed manners.

Bitcoin is a tool, like any other. Tools can be used constructively or destructively. The ease and affordability of transferring remittances internationally is the single most useful case for Bitcoin. In those instances value is not kept in BTC except for the duration of the transfer so it is not as susceptible to the market fluctuations. On top of that it is much faster and sometimes cheaper even for more local transactions like invoices for freelancers to be done via BTC.

The banking systems have failed in a lot of ways related to the above use cases. In the US it can still take days for a check or transfer to clear. Red tape and fees abound when transferring large amounts between parties. PayPal will just shutoff your account because they don't want the risk. etc. etc.

In the future I expect to see BTC to mainly utilized for these types of financial transfers and less as a long-term store of value. Of course like any item of value there will always be the speculation side.

Safari definitely does not just follow suit (see https://caniuse.com/?compare=chrome+102,safari+15.5&compareC... for example).
> The goal is better money.

Except when someone points out it's terrible at that, its goal magically becomes something else. Which it's probably terrible at, and then the goal shifts again.
This is how it is in other Gulf countries (if you are not causing anyone to complain it's basically ignored) and honestly I don't see why Western countries are so tolerant. If you are a taxi driver in the US taking drunk people home, and they are talking abusively to you, you pretty much have to just suck it up.
And it works beautifully enriching people who understand greed-panic cycles on regularily reduced supply.
All the wordlists I know for these kinds of applications remove trivial homophones.

Some wordlist use words that are uniquely identifiable after some set prefix length (e.g. 4 characters) or use metaphone codes so you can type anything that sounds roughly right (e.g. keewee is the same as kiwi).
Seattle is in the USA.

Drug rehabilitation costs for fentanyl are very costly and most of those people aren’t coming back even with those resources. They are simply gone.

Rehab isn’t free, and I don’t think we can afford it on a large scale. People eventually have to take responsibility for their decisions, and the no coming back aspect is definitely a deterrent (whenever we encounter a person in crisis, which sadly is often these days, I make a point of telling my 5 year old that this is where drugs get you).
You don't care so much you use every opportunity to tell people how much you don't care?

Clearly I meant atheists that criticize things they don't even believe in.
To be fair Americans have really big moses.

"My Ponzi" is voluntary. The goal is better money. If you take on that big of a challenge, you kinda need people to participate with their "old" money. It's called adoption. Just like internet would have no value if nobody participated, "My Ponzi" has no value if nobody participates. Do you send email to yourself? No. Do you shop from a non-existing platform? no.
Most SHDSL and some VDSL can talk each other indeed. Used that capability a lot in 200xs.
Makes me think that the home countries are fairly complicit. Any country with robust consular services wouldn’t allow that to happen.

>Sorry this is all too vague. How do you define "broken" and what does this post-debt-driven economy look like?

Look up % of world population living in hyperinlationary environments to get your answer. The post-debt driven economy is one where a handful of people cannot devalue your labor with a press of a button.

> Whats the use case here exactly?
Freedom from corrupt governments that debase your currency into oblivion, only to adopt another currency which suffers from the same ultimate fate. Financial inclusion is the use case. It's broad, it's ambitious and ultimately to entrepreneurial interpretation.
>Bitcoin is voluntary

Scams can be voluntary.

>The goal is better money

There is no clear path to that goal.

>If you take on that big of a challenge, you kinda need people to participate with their "old" money.

"Old" as in the USD?

>Just like internet would have no value if nobody participated, bitcoin has no value if nobody participates.

Unlike the internet you can only trade bitcoins. You cant use them for anything else.

Of course eating only potatoes will make you lose weight. It's malnutrition.

DSL isn't it. Not anywhere as easy to embed into products as 2 wire Ethernet, and you miss PoE option.
A study published in April 2021 using tens of thousands of US Veterans Administration patients over six years found that having had a recent Tdap vaccination predicted a 40% drop in dementia risk.

They duplicated the finding with a completely different population and a different health care system.

40% is a huge effect.

I got my Tdap shortly after.
it would sound like "Samuele Pipino/Pipini"[0], a real surname in italy which is the roughly translation of the surname as it comes from pepin d'heristal or piper from latin (pepper). There isnt probably a drect translation from venetian, but one from italian

It's not "only three levels". All my irons have had "continuous" "level" knob, with three "presets", represented as dots. Along with other "presets" for different kinds of things to iron. But maybe that's Euro thing.

Funny thing, those two do not match. For example, on my current iron "Cotton" is marked at three-dots, whereas all my cotton clothes have labels that insist on ironing them on two-dots.
ADSL2+ can do 22Mbps at 1KM. It can do 10Mbps at 2.8KM. But without mass-manufacturing of the such a switch/access device, it will be expensive.

Bold interpretation of the word 'good' regarding the clients.
I had one bad host experience, with a listing that as far as I can tell just didn't exist. Sent info to airbnb, including screenshots of trying to call the host. Got reimbursed in full in a few weeks. Pretty much what I expected them to do.

Since airbnb is a marketplace, it pays to look at host ratings and reviews, or just filter by superhost. If you pick somebody with 2 reviews that just opened, you have to be aware it's a gamble. It's not necessarily a mistake, depending on context, but a gamble.
> it can also be used to legitimize and normalize a regime that shouldn't

Saudi Arabia and Qatar aren’t going anywhere if they can’t get World Cups.
This diet falls into the same trap that all temporary diets do: assuming a brief change followed by a return to SOP will result in meaningful change. Your diet is properly understood as what you eat regularly for long periods, or forever. Change that and you may get somewhere. After your 30s, eat less total calories each year.
You get about 6 hours of direct sunlight on the panels so his sizing is probably about right?

> but it seems clear to me that that low interest rates are bad for new home buyers

Well no. Low rates are by definition good for everyone who borrows money.

Edit: There is a strange assumption it seems that low rates are the cause of the increase in property prices and that there is essentially a bubble.
If the banks accept to lend then low rates do allow people to borrow more, but claiming that high rates would be "better" or that this causes unreasonably "inflated" prices are a few steps too far.

Higher rates are not going to help you if you want to get onto the property ladder, and they are not going to help either if you are already on it.
Can we hope for a local, open-source version of these models some day?
I seitched to high volume, low weight, and it has been a game changer. Lifting heavy is just a way to destroy joints and get injuries. One sude effect is hypertrophy — I've added 2cm to my arms, tone is way better, and I don't hurt. I superset, too, so I'm in the gym less, and the workout is better.
I have a deep understanding of all of the latter. I work in capital markets daily. I do not know anyone serious with my level of experience in the actual markets who thinks bitcoin is the answer.

There are several issues with tradFi. Pointing that out is like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. In some cases, people are working on a fix. In other cases, the inefficiency and criminal activity is not ceasing because the scale is too small for overburdened regulators to care about.

Not one of these uses bitcoin as a fix. Whoever is building it has almost never been in finance. They think tech bros can easily understand finance cos numbers! Except finance is extremely advanced. It’s like trying to join a full ML team after running a single random forest regression or something. The consequence of such hubris is sentences like this:

> Bitcoin is the solution to the fundamentally broken debt-driven economy.

The debt driven economy is by design. It’s not a fucking flaw like the hard money idiots listening to Peter Schiff daily want to believe. Sometimes it goes to excess and we get 2008. Doesn’t mean the older idea was better. There is no wealth distribution in a hard money paradigm that makes sense.

For simple terms since you’re obviously not in the field, ask yourself where is money created? If you say central banks, go back to Econ 101 and study better this time.
> That's one reason, but not the only reason. Security is another big one in that the WebKit process is running with privileges that Apple does not want to award to any other app process on the platform, much less a third-party one.

Yes, because Chrome and Firefox have such a terrible track record with security /sarcasm

Lets face it, that's a conveniently plausible excuse, not an actual reason.
My bullshit detector is going off as well.
I did a CS degree at a UK university in the early 2000s and we were forced to take two modules of non-CS in the first year. Due to the ridiculous way places were allocated (you literally had a single day in which to physically run around the university town trying to visit the offices and find courses with space), I ended up doing history and archaeology.

Mostly, this reinforced the general impression that these subjects were extremely easy and involved next to no work, compared to CS. It didn't help me much in later life though.
The article you link pretty clearly identifies this form of "temporary marriage" as being the equivalent of a long-term mistress relationship rather than an encounter with a prostitute.
Good idea in general, the term for this category of products is personal information management system (PIMS). digi.me is the largest player but even they can't seem to get any reasonable traction, as it's an uphill battle to convince third parties to integrate with you. Classical chicken & egg problem: If you have many users the integrations will come naturally, but users will only come when there are enough integrations.

A large company like Apple would be in a better position to do something like this, and in principle Apple Pay does it already as merchants can e.g. request your shipping or billing address through that system.
They have every incentive to NOT implement things to force devs to create apps. If they wanted to create an actual browser vs. bare bones browser, they'd still offer it on other operating systems.
