My argument is that a movie or tv show is an art medium that coincides partly with time, just like music. Listening to a song at 1.5x speed fundamentally changes what you are listening to and is a significant deviation from what the artist intended.

It could still be enjoyable but to say that nothing is lost is wrong.

I’m not sure that the analogy holds that Facebook is a public space. Many people (young people) do fine without Facebook, and you can totally live without Instagram either.
Oh I love this.

I've done basically that but with a beater; you have to run the drill quite slow but it works.
I don't think this is unethical, and while it isn't work that I've done I wouldn't have an objection to doing it.

Facebook is able to provide their service free to users because we "pay with our data", and stripping the tracking parameters was one method people used to get the service without "paying". Facebook would prefer to offer this is a package deal, where you can only have the service if you accept the tracking. I don't think it is unethical to strip the parameters, but I also don't think Facebook has any obligation to make that easy.

As an analogy, I think it's fine for users to run ad blocking software, but I also think it's fine for sites to attempt to only show content to users who view the ads.
I have a board in my office and my kitchen, so as I am pacing around on calls I will periodically walk over to the nearest board to scribble a note.

At the end of each day I will convert my whiteboard notes into GitHub issues.

Every day begins with a blank board.

It took me a really long time to get into this habit, but I never forget anything now. Relying on others to take notes for you is a huge mistake.
only 2 things really matter, when the coffee was roasted and when it was ground. everything else has some leeway: the roast, 18g vs 25g of coffee, 300mL or 400mL of water, 195 vs 208 degrees, pour over vs drip. sure, you can micro-tune those things but that’s a different category of coffee drinker. you’ll get good and consistent results if you get coffee roasted within a day or three, and grind the coffee fresh (even a blade grinder is ok, though i do use a burr grinder now).

in LA, stumptown, intelligentsia, and lightwave are good general options. i get mine from trystero, because reading pynchon felt like a rite of passage in college, and it’s excellent. a 14-oz cup costs me $0.90-1.00 per cup, all in.
I think you’re supposed to call him after your handle is taken.
But in Facebook's case, the "provide the service" of stalking you across the internet. Surely you wouldn't be so cruel as to attempt to avoid someone who is stalking you around the mall, taking notes on your favorite shops, etc etc, right?
> This is exactly what the Google Container add-on for Firefox protects against. It stops Google from tracking you across the web because your Google login does not exist when you visit other websites.

I don't think that it does. I mean, it does help a little, but if you have Firefox with this add-on installed and visit websiteA which pings google's server and loads their JS which fingerprints your browser they have your device logged, the fact that you visited websiteA logged, your IP address logged, and a timestamp logged. When you visit websiteB 5 hours later (in a different tab, window, or session) and that site also pings google's server and loads their JS they get all that same information again and Google has successfully tracked you going to both sites.

These containers aren't useless, but they aren't preventing Google from tracking your online activity either.

Your best bet is to configure Firefox to not allow javascript (at least not by default and not got any domain owned by Google), to block all google domains at your edge, and never log into a google product. At that point, google isn't tracking you and you have no need for the add-on. That assumes that you're on a PC. If you're using an android device you might as well accept that any website you visit will be tracked by google no matter what else you do.

Advocating for a VPN or not isn't relevant. ZeroTrust isn't "no vpns". You can do ZeroTrust and have a VPN. ZTN is more about what you do than what you don't do, despite the name.

1. Clients authenticate servers

2. Servers authenticate clients

3. Communications are encrypted and auditable

4. Fine grained authorization using available context like device health

You could have employees hold a client cert, connect to a VPN, have the VPN attest the employee's state, and then provide them access to a subnet. From that subnet they can continue talking to other services that also perform authn/authz. The VPN doesn't make it "less" zero trust, it's just that the traditional VPN model is one where it's the single point of auth.
Judging by people in this comment section, no one has any disposable income to compete for, because $5/day is an insane poverty-making amount of money to spend on things.

I'm confused what price you think most of these softwares should be charging. If you exclude things like MLB or Disney+ where their cost is tethered to the amorphous costs of entertainment, most of these don't cost all that much per day given how much a full time developer earns/costs per day.
This accomplishing precisely nothing except moving the problem to another layer.

I drink instant coffee, black, sometimes with ice in the summer. I make a big mug or bottle full and then get started on my day. If I'm out traveling, it's diner or hotel coffee, black. Get a cup, wait for it to cool a bit, and start the day.

I'm not thinking or talking about the coffee. I'm talking about how last night went, what today holds in store for us or what we could do. Where we've been before and where we're going. If it's my day off and I'm alone, I'm thinking about my chores, or old hobbies, or about exploring that new city that I saw in the distance in the videogame I was playing last night. Not about the coffee.

The coffee's just a comforting, familiar presence that's always there.

I've tried some of the pretentious coffee before. It's just not as good. It distracts from life. Cheap standard coffee just gets out of the way and enhances life.
I have Peter Norton’s Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC sitting on my bookshelf and pull it out occasionally and it really hits a certain spot for me.

I was thinking about using JPEG2000 to archive scan masters, because I hate the look of original JPEG artifacts. In the end I decided to go with FLIF to eliminate the "preservation risk" - by being lossless, I can run the output through sha256 to make sure I've gotten all the original bits back. In the event that I regret this decision, I can simply transcode and not feel too bad (as opposed to transcoding from lossless and losing even more quality).
Then the first step is one of transit/bike paths, removing beef and milk from your diet, or improving your insulation to at least rsi 5. Repairability is a major issue, but a minor tweak like that is a finger in the dam. More effective would be mandating schematics and extending default warranties to include third party repair for 5 years or so.

The only thing I've ever seen webassembly used for online, was a hobby project where someone used it to get clang to run in the browser, which is cool, but kind of gimmicky, since no one wants to use a web page that needs to download hundreds of megs of dependencies. With Flash you could see the value like the Newgrounds animations it made possible, which would not have been possible otherwise. What has webassembly done for us besides turn the open web into opaque binary? Why is there no opt-out? It's the lack of consent that really gets to me. How many times do we have to say no?

Even if home prices stay flat, it would increase the would-be-renters' wealth. Their payments would not only build equity which can transfer to another purchase, but once they pay off a home, the payments are finished. That means more net-positive cash flows to their own pockets. The notion that home prices need to rise for wealth building is completely and unequivocally false.

That is the point I am trying to get across. As a side note,
whim isn't limited to mere individuals. Whole societies can and do build their morals on cargo cults and arbitrary delineations of what are and aren't respectable practices.

Given our agreement that whim should not define respect, then what is it defined by exactly? If the individuals themselves are not the ones to determine what constitutes a "respectful act", then where does one obtain the ability or authority to draw the line as to what qualifies as respect and what doesn't?
I think a distinction needs to be made between “risk” and “potential inconvenience”.

Given that there are free, open source implementations of the JPEG 2000 decoder, There is no plausible preservation risk. Even if, in 150 years, the contemporary version of ImageMagick has dropped support for JPEG 2000, it would be relatively trivial to spin up an ancient virtual machine and run a 100-year-old version of Linux.

Or, you know, pay an intern to port some old code to whatever modern language they’re using then. Rust, probably.

I thought this too, but I've also seen speculation that fructose specifically triggers the body to be more inclined to store blood sugar as fat. If you think about it you can imagine an evolutionary just-so story for it. When protohumans encountered fruit, it was usually in a large quantity that couldn't be easily stored. Best to gorge and get chubby for later.

Or you could argue it eliminates the flavor that needs to be eliminated; using your steak analogy from a sibling comment, drinking medium/light roast may be like eating the steak raw or frozen. Totally different flavor from medium-rare, just not the one many people want.

I recently had an unwitting encounter with medium roast (at the same "semi-fancy" price point as I typically buy) when my wife put some fresh beans in our coffee container. First cup I made, I was wondering why the coffee tastes so bad, bad enough for me to dump it. There were all those weird sour/almost soda like notes that should not be in coffee. Then I got suspicious about the look of the beans, then I asked my wife... "I decided it would be good to try something new" ;)

> Good luck finding batteries for any electric cordless drill in 20 years, never mind a cheap one.

Even if the existing 18V/20V-max format doesn't survive another 20 years--an assertion I don't really expect to be true, see for example DeWalt's in-progress switch to stacked cells without any tool deprecation--the world will not be without 18650 cells in twenty years. And you can buy a corded drill if you really want to.

I own a bit and brace and to me it's useful for exactly one thing: compound angles during chairmaking. Literally everything else, from low-and-slow picture-framing tasks to boring out Euro hinge holes, is faster, more accurate, and (for me) more enjoyably done with a tool fit for purpose and with modern affordances--a cordless hand drill and drill press, respectively.

Companies wanting to pay lower wages makes sense and is a real thing. But it's not due to a desire to keep people poor. Rather, the motivation there is identical to customers who bargain shop for cheap deals: a simple desire to save money.

Here's perhaps a better way to look at it: Anyone accepting money is a business, anyone paying money is a customer. If I "hire" you as your "employer" and give you a "salary" to be my "employee" and do your "job," the reality is you're the business and I"m the customer. Employer really means customer, employee really means business, hire really means buy, salary really means price, and job really means product/service.

And just like every customer/business relationship, the business wants to charge more, the customer wants to pay less, and neither party is much concerned with the downstream effects on the economy. Everyone just wants to save.
This actually gave me some new context on why Web technologies can be slow: fast as the runtime might have become, it spends useless cycles converting hex to ASCII, thrashing the stack, and so on.

Counterpoint: Christopher Hitchens was an expert on sophistry in the manner of a champion high school debater and doesn't deserve the reflected glory of being noted as "the" Orwell expert. Orwell was rather more courageous, incisive, intelligent, subtle, humane and kind. Hitchens is not in the same intellectual league let alone the same ballpark. Hitchens sucessfully hitched his wagon to Orwell's intellectual greatness for popularity and debating points but when you scratch the surface there seems to be less there than we'd like.

Everyone has the right to a different opinion than me on Hitchens and I think my politics are probably closer to (late stage) Hitchens than Orwell and I think I'm surely no more a great intellectual than Hitchens. Orwell really was a great intellectual, this is clear to me even if I think he was wrong about a bunch of stuff. Where I agree with Hitchens it remains lightweight by comparison.
