No. Digital ocean droplet + scp is all you need. Hell, even sftp would work if you are less than 10 people.
Ah, nice-- will give it another go! Thanks for building it. I enjoyed it so much prior that I even paid for the "Pro" version

Hey, what do you know! I've never actually clicked through to subscribe on any of these sites, I just assumed from the article and all the comments that there was no alternative to the Visa/Mastercard duopoly. Thoughts on why it hasn't achieved much adoption?
“I wish,” Talaat now said, “that you would get the American life-insurance companies to send us a complete list of their Armenian policy holders. They are practically all dead now and have left no heirs to collect the money. It of course all escheats to the state. The government is the beneficiary now. Will you do so?”

If anybody else is wondering what happened with some of those life insurance policies, The New York Life Insurance Company attempted to pay out 2,200 unclaimed policies in 2004[1]. That's only after avoiding it for almost a century, and it's still unclear how many were actually claimed in the end.

Define tech bro without referring to race or sex. I doubt anybody can.
Long endurance flight is a purpose unto itself, alike Ingenuity copter's purpose to prove flight a feasible technology on other planets. Another commenter cracked wise about this being an alternative to just storing the mini-spaceplane in a hanger. Well yes, but with less terrestrial degredagtion (atmosphere & what all), and having some creative/scientific functions (growing seeds. sidenote, i had some like 3rd generation space tomato plants my 5th grade teacher gave us all. great year!)

i view this plane, in macro, somewhat like a right-sized shuttle. the shuttle was big & heavy & had vastly cumbersome resposnsibilities to shepard all in all pretty useless humans along for the ride. as a cargo delivery system it made little sense. but an orbital vessel with some orbital control, that can come down & get reused, that has great roboticized automation... it's a drone, for space. it's an automated spaceplane.
that's all nice and true, but not at all relevant to the point of long term storage.
It’s not a meme, it’s simply following history and reading declassified materials. The US government has a track record of developing advanced aircraft and weaponry in secret.

Daughter nearly fell victim to one of these.
An auditor over the course of 2 hours convinced her that the store manager was stealing money and that she needed to transfer it back to corporate.

Thankfully I was giving her a ride that day. She was in a total panic but wouldn’t tell me what was going on. He had her convinced that if she said anything she was gonna go to jail.

I thought they were having her do a night money drop off by herself which I was pissed about.

She went into a Kroger to the finance counter. Which is when I finally realized what was going on.

The lady at the counter was totally gonna let her send several thousand dollars to some random Green dot account.

So I asked if the lady could go get the store manager real quick.

Older lady walks up and says “oh you’re being scammed” My daughter burst into tears as she finally realizes she had just robbed her own store.

Store manager regaled us with tons of stories of scams people were constantly trying to run on them many of them incredibly elaborate.

If I hadn’t been there good chance she would be arrested.

A painful life lesson.

> Payment providers are companies. They should be able to decide what they'll cover or not.

Legislation in other industries ensures that companies are not allowed to decide what they cover or not, because when companies pick and choose it leaves parts of the market being under-served (as is happening here).

As an example - Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance companies in the USA can't refuse to cover you or charge you more just because you have a “pre-existing condition”.

Or as another example, the idea of net neutrality.

> One of the core philosophies behind the development of Thunderbird 102 was doing more with less.

> ...you’ll find out-of-box support for the popular, decentralized chat protocol Matrix in Thunderbird 102

Personally, I see these two statements as being directly contradictory. I'm glad to see Thunderbird's maintenance continuing well, but I want it to be a focused app. On the other hand, I have been glad to have out of the box Lightning integration, so perhaps I will come to enjoy the Matrix addition as well.

i use https://github.com/giltene/wrk2 pretty regularly.

it has decent lua hooks to customize behavior but i use it in the dumbest way possible to hammer a server at a fixed rate with the same payload over and over.

i run it by hand after a big change to the server to make sure nothing obviously regressed. i used to run it nightly in a jenkins job but 99% of the time no one looked at results. it was nice to see if assumptions on load a single node could handle didn't hold anymore.
I just bought a Galaxy Tab S8 after continually being disappointed with the iPad and lack of user-friendly multi-tasking capability.

I was disappointed to find that Firefox's tablet interface is just a blown-up phone interface. I have switched to using Edge instead because it looks like a proper desktop browser with a tab bar, and has integrated ad-blocking.

For me, the two biggest pain points I experience with Firefox is the lack of PWA support on desktop, and now the lack of a proper tablet interface. So I end up using Chrome/Edge on desktop for PWAs, and now I use Edge on tablet.

It's getting harder to stick with Firefox...

If you conceal information from your partner that they care about then that does make you fundamentally dishonest. If you conceal the fact that you are cheating on your partner, does that make you dishonest? I mean, isn't it just a secret you're keeping from your partner?

You write that neither you nor I should dictate what people share with their partners. I agree. I don't care what people share with their partners - that's between them and their partners. I don't think it's good for children to have 24/7 trivial access to hardcore pornography though and so I think we should restrict that and if that restriction changes the balance of what adults disclose with their partners that is up to those adults and their partners to handle. You seem to be advocating for policy based on allowing romantic deception - which is odd.

Finally, regarding your credit card company knowing your sexual preferences - I agree that it is a trade off but I don't think your, and others, addiction to pornography necessitates making pornography trivially available to children. If you have a better idea for how to age-restrict pornography I'd be open to it, but the defense that it would make acquiring pornography awkward for adults strikes me as pretty weak.
> (...) Everyone has the same 24 hours available to them. You don't have to accept the status quo if you don't want to. But you need to accept some risks. (...)

That sounds like "let them eat cake"-level of advice.

Those who work long hours and navigate burnout borders often do so because it's extremely important for them to at least meet a bar that unblocks other life goals.

In some cases, not meeting the bar can result in losing a home, go bankrupt, or lose a partner/family.

Framing that as just a risk that someone needs to accept is irresponsible and naive advice. It's like telling someone in a sinking ship that not managing to hold onto a life raft is a risk that needs to be accepted, when to them it's the only acceptable option.

They didn't just go out and build some. The KGB was stealing NASA's plans. NASA caught on (with help from CIA) and implanted falsified heat tile formulas, which the Soviets copied. Their first Buran only flew once and mostly burned up on reentry due to the bad heat tiles. The Soviets copied most of the design but used their own engine.[1] Then the USSR collapsed. Currently they are sitting in decaying hangars in Baikonur, just rotting away. There's video on youtube of people sneaking in (it's a guarded base), flying drones around them and climbing around in and out of them. It's pretty cool. [2]

thanks! I wrote a bit about the challenges of prompt engineering here: https://twitter.com/d_jones/status/1541873676173189120

The difficulty of prompt engineering cannot be underestimated. You have to try lots of variations and iterate heaps on the prompt. I usually generate several hundred images to pick from and evaluate based on connection to the topic, coherence + esthetic.

For many generated images, people don't have a specific target in mind and let themselves be surprised (which is fun!), but it's quite difficult to take a given topic, write a prompt and get back a coherent image that is on topic.
Broadly speaking, the Java argument was to make it easy to do the right thing, not making it impossible to do the wrong thing. Especially when the interface to a filesystem depends on parsing structure from a string.
> Yeah, team orders are fairly lame

And were illegal not too long ago, remember the Fernando is faster than you[0] scandal? Yeah, that was about the time I think I just couldn't be bothered with F1 anymore and just watched WRC instead. Honestly, F1 has always been a huge advertisement, but things like this is what makes it a mockery.

MotoGP also has team orders but the racing really is way better; I used to dislike it, but the racing has been so close and it's just a uch better spectacle without all the nonsensical pretense and pageantry that F1 has become bloated with.

I was not. Perhaps I'm showing my age, then. The first two games I played - utterly beloved to me - didn't have voiced audio.

I guess that's not really performance, but I agree that UX is one of those things that can subtlety annoy someone enough that they'll just give up and go elsewhere. That's a pretty extreme example, but even simple things like asking the user for too much information over too many pages at checkout can dramatically increase bounce rate. If a user can't land on your site, find what they're looking for then checkout within a few minutes, something is wrong.

On payment failures, an interesting solution an ecommerce I used to work for came up with was just to place the order on payment failure. They figured it was better just to send out an email after the fact asking them to try again and if that failed they could call and take the payment over the phone if need be. We targeted an older demographic and sold fairly pricey products though. I guess that model wouldn't work so well if you're selling $10 tshirts. I believe Amazon does something similar. I know they've sent me emails in the past letting me know my payment failed after placing an order.
Last I checked Thunderbird still doesn't support Maildir by default and is hidden behind an experimental flag with the following warning:

> We suggest you leave Maildir disabled unless you are an advanced user, willing to risk your data, and know how to back up your email before turning on Maildir and how to restore it if you run into problems.

Have they fixed that or has other things like Matrix integration taken priority over email?

I remember back in late 2018, early 2019 I downloaded the Nightly version, Mozilla had been hinting on a rewrite for a while and I wanted to see what they were up to. This version seemed solid, although a work in progress: you could not customize the listed sites in the home screen, addons were disabled and the settings seemed lacking compared to what we had in the stable release, but work was solid.

Then, out of nowhere, they phase out what we currently have with this half-baked Nightly version. The app updated itself overnight and now all the addons are no longer supported (Violentmonkey was a big one for me as I could customize some websites with a user script), the home page icons can't be rearranged, the history can't be deleted and overall this updated app seems like a worse deal that we previously had.

Mozilla has stopped caring about their products. It seems that nobody in there is dogfooding Firefox, and it shows. They have a big advantage because of Google still not allowing addons on Mobile Chrome, and instead of opening up the whole ecosystem (which previously most of the desktop addons were compatible with the mobile app), they double down on allowing only a very short list of preapproved addons.
Reporting it is only worth it to have a paper trail in case the identity theft then brings you into legal trouble such as taking out credit in your name, etc. If they’re only using publicly-available info I wouldn’t bother.
Credit card rewards churning probably. Basically finding cards with either attractive starting offers or ongoing rewards and then generating cash flow through them that is recurring. One example was the mint at one point was selling some coin online with free shipping, after receiving the coins you'd just deposit them into your account for zero loss. It looked like a normal purchase to the CC so you got the full points for it.

"where there isn't effective competition"

That's my point. The solution to this problem already exists - antitrust. The government has just chosen to to enforce it.
A few comments opine upon the seeming unfairness of comparing the US to countries considered more “homogeneous”.

OK, let’s compare the US to its similar North American neighbour, Canada, using the info in the article.

The US still lags by a considerable margin. Thems of us north of the border are somewhere between surprised and appalled at how little the US population and leadership seems to care about how much worse off Americans are than their peers in other countries.

Y’all have a lot more wealth, sure, but a lot more poverty, a lot more deathfrom treatable conditions, and a lot more incarcerated, for what it’s worth.

That’s a practical way of looking at things that works well until it doesn’t. And it doesn’t work more frequently than we imagine.

People ask me what I do and I say I’m a product manager. This is an immediate perception - it says so on my business card - but there is a limit to its truth depending on the definition of product manager in the minds of those hearing my statement. Product management varies wildly across the industry and I am most certainly not a product manager in certain industries.

So no, there isn’t a hierarchy. There are several billion different views of how concepts map to reality that often (depending on the circumstances) pragmatically align.
It’s amazing how “free will” still lives as an idea. Imagine exact past yourself in the exact past situation and tell how exactly it would work that you could decide not the way you already did (ignoring any amplified fundamental uncertainty, which is the opposite of “will” by very definition).

I doubt it. Navigation in 3D space is far more awkward than 2D. Depth is hard to get accurate, and you now have to deal with things closer to you obscuring things behind them. It's slow and awkward.

Improving this space isn't dependent on new technology either. We don't need more fps for them to solve the UX problems, they could've been solved for 3D navigation on a 2D screen - but they haven't, it has always been easier, faster and more accurate to navigate a 2D space.
