Tom Brady playing at his age and at his level is a combination of things, some unique to him, some to the QB position, some to changes in rules, and some to advances in training and recovery techniques and technology. So many things had to line up exactly for Tom Brady at 45 to occur.

He is very rare not only in his age but in his very high level of play at that age. Of the players in the NBA list, only Karl Malone was playing at a high level, and only for a short spurt where he stopped Tim Duncan in the Western Conference finals and sent the Lakers to the finals. However, he injured his knee and the Lakers were done for in the finals. The knee injury probably wasn't a freak occurrence but rather a result of a lifetime of wear and tear. He had been so injury free for so long.

I think the most interesting of the things lining up for Tom Brady is his drive to win. It maximizes the other things. He seeks out the best training and recovery techniques. He willingly takes less money to get better teammates. If you are a Tom hater, he cheats like deflating balls below regulation so that they are more catcheable.
this is absurd, love that feature, whats the real motive?
I would describe those as shocks. I may prefer to set money aside and then fix my car before it breaks down from a transmission issue or whatever, but I don’t know that it will be a problem. In the same way I would prefer to blind counter in an RTS, but I just don’t have that information.
Humans. Humans destroy everything.

Edit-if you want to say I’m wrong. Don’t say it. Live it. Show with your actions that humans don’t destroy but instead create. Create, cultivate, and generally reinforce life and diversity.

Otherwise the sentence stands.
If someone asks for the median, you supply the median if possible. The assumption underlying the question is that it is difficult to calculate the median.

In fact, in this case, it is not difficult.

Going back to a professional who has requested the median and asking them if they didn't actually want the mean is not a display of empathy. It is patronising. The gender of the stakeholder is perhaps of relevance here.
She’s a psychologist, isn’t she?

Maybe a lot of her clients had said: “It’s all just semantics. I don’t want those, I want solutions. I swear I should’ve just taken meds only and none of these so-called therapies”.

By the way, I’m pro-therapy. That would probably be what my nightmare patient would say, if I was a psychologist.
Not having to care about anything is a real advantage.

If you have absolutely no interest in phones, the base iPhone will be a better device than any android of the same price in terms of stability (years of use) and support (you'll hit not mobile website that doesn't handle it, any major app provider will support it)

android has advantages only if you actually have specific aspects you want to optimize (price, performance, photo, obscure tools, versatility etc..)
Yo British-Belgian Pilot Becomes Youngest to Fly Around the World Solo
Very impressive work! I tried to play some loops and add some effects. They all went well. Did you manually handle the audio or is it wrapped in the portaudio-wasm?

One thing I can learn from your work is to how the canvas is rendered. For my project Glicol (https://glicol.org) I use the Web Audio Analyser Node for visualisation but I am considering to use SAB to send even non-audio channels and render the canvas in real-time. It would be great to explore the process if you can write more on your GH repo.
Native Minecraft servers with GraalVM Native Image
My experience on Android: good hardware, very open and customizable, but the defaults all have a cheapish, crappy mentality and quality to them; the phone degraded in one year. Everything is Google-centric and I simply don’t trust them anymore.

On Apple: great hardware, everything on the OS is nice out of the box. Thought went into everything from colours to fonts to make it nice. The phone lasts for years and years. Apple doesn’t seem quite so underhanded.

Now, we spend lots of time with our phones. Getting one that is nice and feels snappy to use makes every day 0.5% better. Combined with the fact that iPhones last longer and have resale value, for most people, it’s a no-brainer even at a much higher cost.

In fact, the cheaper Androids get, the worse the perception of them will get.
Having the Apple Store support option is another one. Yes, repairs can be a bit expensive, but most of them can be done same-day instead of having to ship my phone off for a week+ to get repairs.

This depends on where you’re located though — in some places it’s much easier to get quick OEM repairs for (some) Android devices than for Apple ones.

The A-series chips are also genuinely very good, but one could argue that a lot of that power is wasted on iOS.

Anecdotally, I’ve also found battery life on iPhones to be more reliable out of the box than on most Android devices, especially in standby.

>I attribute most of it to marketing.

Android people usually do. That doesn't make it entirely true, though.

The overall experience of using an iPhone is, for most people, more consistent and smooth. You're correct to note network effects, but I think you overstate the importance of iMessage for most people. I don't really care if you're green or blue in my text window, and I don't think many people really do. What I do care about and enjoy is the overall platform effects, including easy integration with my Mac, the way the watch works with it, etc.

You could cobble together most of that, I assume, with utilities and whatnot using Linux or Windows and Android, but with Apple all that comes out of the box.

>As bad as an Apple store might be today,

The Apple Store experience is insanely streamlined, easy, and creepy up-sell free compared to a carrier. That's a big deal.

>To me, it feels like Google has lost interest in Android and consumers will pick that up as well.

I'm an iPhone person, but yeah, I think there's something to this, too.
I switched a few months ago and I can't believe the lack of difference. They are very similar. If I want to see the weather, I tap the square with a cloud on it. If I want to start Spotify, I tap that icon. I turn it on and off with a button on the side and turn the volume up and down with the other buttons. The camera takes pictures and I can use the map to navigate in my car. Maybe the Apple camera is better this year, but the Google camera will probably be better next year. Both place calls and can send/receive text messages.

For me (and I think most people) the two are very substitutable. One is a Toyota Camry and the other is a Honda Accord. They are both fine.
> I went from "picking an Android very carefully for rooting" gradually to "what's on sale at Best Buy for about 150" with no major shift in experience or quality.

Well a lot of people can very clearly tell the difference between a middle of the pack iPhone and a $150 Android device. That you experienced no such variation among the Android lineup is why people prefer Apple. It "feels like" a premium product, is priced like a premium product, and is perceived as a premium product because... you guessed it: it's a premium product!
I'm generally against web apps, but have to admit this one is really cool; it also loads surprisingly fast. So far the only difference with the original seems the waveform display which uses a smaller resolution, probably not to slow down too much the UI.
Yes, this puts something I believe rather nicely. I think this applies to every mathematical structure, and that, in a sense, the number 3 and my desk exist on the same conceptual level of reality. (Only one is a tad more complex than the other).

Peak demand is at 5pm, when solar is still producing.

Peak demand after removing solar and wind is about 2.5 hours later and lower:

This is the point in the year that solar PV earns it's money back fastest, because peak yearly demand would otherwise use the absolute most expensive and dirtiest power.

You can also see their batteries providing slightly more than their nukes at these points too, again a very solid return on investment.

1) Not being locked in into the Google ecosystem and being tracked by that company. You need to be logged in into your Google account for the play store, which means you're looped in to Gmail and Google calendar.

In iOS I can choose to use different providers for email, calendar, and password management or remove the apps (for the first two).

2) Long support which makes the price really reasonable. I've been using an iPhone 8 for a couple of years now, and still have the latest iOS version and the phone works good enough. If I would have bought an Android phone when I bought my iPhone I would have needed to replace it already, because of lack of updates.

For what it's worth, I didn't realize but warden was an electron app until you just pointed it out. I have zero issues with the desktop app, so I think simply because it's electron shouldn't be a negative point if it doesn't negatively impact real world experience. Further, I primarily tend to use the browser extension with Firefox or chrome, and that's been great. On my phone, I use the app with the integrated password manager feature. No complaints! It just works and does its job.
The author bemoans that, unlike proper nouns, ‘improper nouns’ don’t carry any stylistic indicator in English to indicate that they are different from the baseline.

In my past experience I’ve found that there is an indicator amongst some (trained?) writers of English, which is single quotes:

- Go to the ‘green’ building

(this reads as: it’s not literally green, it’s green in some metaphorical sense like their colour coding system)

- He thinks that ‘improper nouns’ don’t carry a stylistic indicator

(look I even did it above!)

I'm very fond of two 4k monitors, one landscape and one portrait. The "main" landscape screen holds what Im focusing on, and the other screen gets documentation, references, unrelated chat, etc. I find this setup very productive.

I have sometimes run a 3rd screen, also landscape, above the primary; but its hard to give it much attention. Good for videos I'm not really watching or background stuff that might catch my attention when it blows up but doesn't demand any notice until then.
Is not dying to something you cannot even see, that drops grenades on you or fires rockets at you a hit to morale?.
That’s certainly not true in Germany. Even when German plaintiffs brought a case against the German broadcaster Hessische Rundfunk in the CJEU (2010/191/EU), the court ruled that cash payments could be limited in the public interest even to public entities (although they did uphold the plaintiffs right to pay in cash in that case).

Wherever you are quoting from almost certainly applies to creditors, not vendors in general.
My utility gives me half-rate electricity if I charge after midnight ($0.11/kwh vs $0.23/kwh) - people will line up and wait for 20 minutes or drive across town to buy gas that's $0.03/gallon cheaper, I think they'll figure out how to set the 'delay charging' option on their car if it gives them the equivalent of half-off gas prices.
Someone with actual general feelings here. People’s lives are miserable enough at the minute without being disrupted further by climate protest groups. This protest in particular isn’t very disruptive but other XR protests and the Stop Oil folks blockading roads can fuck right off. Demanding that we stop using oil during an energy crisis is idiotic and blocking working class people from getting to work at a time when they’re struggling financially is not helping your cause. As important as it is that we make massive changes to benefit our climate and planet, I think the middle classes that are typically involved in these protests need to read the room and realise ordinary people have much more pressing concerns (like heating their homes and feeding themselves) and they could do with a break from hearing that “the earth is burning”. It’s part of the reason a lot of the working class abandoned the Labour Party - the left is focussed on things that the middle/upper middle class care about instead of representing the working class.
That's awful, if I had your experience I wouldn't use demand response either.

Now I'm also curious whether your contract was directly with your utility or through a 3rd party energy supplier. Where I live the non-utility energy suppliers can be a bit dodgy and push misleading contracts on retail users but they're still somewhat regulated so I am skeptical a contract that allows them to completely shut down everyone's AC for the entire duration of a demand response event would be approved here.

But I've heard horror stories about non-utility energy suppliers in other ISOs (like Texas' ERCOT) gouging customers, abruptly shutting down, or just generally being wildly incompetent.

Vitalik's Ideas Worth Building
I think you're still missing the point. The goal isn't to eliminate any safety regulations. Those are needed and should be kept.

What's being addressed is the situation where various parties in politics, construction, or otherwise related in any way, looking at the project and saying "how can I get my hands on some of that money?". We're looking at all the lobbying that goes into for and against decisions, and how they stall process without any consideration of its purpose.

We're looking at every opportunity for a person or party to distract from the project for their own gain. If those can be removed or mitigated, we could potentially see faster and cheaper projects.
I'd heard about some of the imessage exploits prior to getting my iPhone, and so the first thing I did was uninstall imessage. Happily, the OS allowed me to do this. I haven't missed a thing, frankly.
> I had a good brand (One Plus 6). Taking a picture on Android is an awful experience.

Good brand. Terrible camera app. I carry a OP6 and the awfulness of it's camera is legendary. Besides what you mentioned, the camera app is often incapable of focusing. To deposit checks, I have to use an old phone.

That and the utterly dismal battery life (drains fast with heavy use) will make this my only OP device. I accept good brand but I wouldn't go as far as good phone.

All that said, even this OP6 is still a better option for me than an Apple phone. My first and foremost requirement will always be rooting.

Just because some feature has low usage does not mean you should deprecate it. The whole point of GitHub is to provide discoverability to what others are doing. If anything they should improve upon the feature.

The solution is to make the streets safer. There are well-documented traffic calming methods that work. On neighborhood streets like the one you may be describing that could include things like chicanes and mini roundabouts.

The rub is that they make driving less convenient, so it’s hard to get people to support them. But between making our streets safer for kids and making driving a little easier I will always choose safety.
In my opinion the UX on Android is inferior. It’s not about as good, it’s worse. There are just a million kinda shitty decisions embedded in the interface that aren’t quite right.

For me Android is like an off-brand cola. It gets the job done. It’s sugar water, just like coke. But there are a million little decisions that make Coke a better product.
