I don't think there's anything a 22 year old copy of Fireworks can do that can't be done in other newer apps, but I feel like that's kinda irrelevant. Some people would rather spend their time learning how to do something new rather than learning how to do the same old thing in new ways.

I used Fireworks back in school and from what I remember it was a lot easier to use than Adobes products.
I'm guessing it's offsetting the mortgage and property tax with an average inflation calculation. If money gets 3% less valuable ever year and you only pay 1% on top of the value of the home (property taxes), you're effectively paying 2% less every year on the principal, IIUC.

HTML drag and drop does have a few powerful features that cannot be done otherwise. You can move an item outside your app into, for example, a native photo library app. Or even on iPhone, drag/drop an item to iMessage and send it to someone as an image or piece of text. Something that also doesn't work in DFlex is scrolling through a page while holding an item, something that also "just works" with native HTML drag and drop.
No - there was some discussion on such a feature, but im/Export from/to such complex formats is very difficult and often impossible to get perfectly right.
This is precisely why I would rather have my data tracked by China rather than the US. Only one of those would get other countries to fuck me over for some arbitrary reason.
Agreed. Multiple paradigms and "right tool for the job" and all that. Technology is often additive rather than successive.

At this point ... think of google. How many tasks start with some vague statement of intent in a google search and then refinement by reviewing pages or better search queries: "How do I ..." Already many (most) internet users are using natural language to interface with the internet. Average don't go straight to wikipedia - they type a question and get a response where wikipedia is the first first or the knowledge graph except is sufficient. Or "plane ticket to $location" and get linked to airline sites (or the search engines interface).

We are much further along this path than many might suspect.
They probably use the user's social graph. Taking all those precautions won't help if the new account just rejoins the same servers and talks to the same people as the banned account.
Yup. My naive impression of it is “we don’t trust our code to not back door your device, so we let you turn the highest risk portions of it off now. Mostly, gifs, because we’re don’t know how to safely parse a 35 year old standard.”

Thank you! Somebody that gets it.

Building something in Flash visually felt far more concrete and rewarding vs having to write lines of code for CSS keyframes or SVG animations.

Flash also just made it possible for non-programmers to build cool stuff. Today, that is pretty much impossible if you're not a programmer.

Programmers often aren't artists, so when they're playing around, they build something that may only be of interest to them. Taking HN as an example, I have seen tons of posts about people excitedly describing their favourite static site generator. Not much there for others to really dig into and enjoy.

And that's what we lose when the tools of creation are limited to those whose interests lie entirely elsewhere.
I agree. It depends on what you do with the program as to how it compares to Illustrator. From a prepress perspective where I would use it to rip apart and fix graphic files so they print properly, Affinity Designer has a long way to go. For designing it's not too bad and slowly catching up. It is also the only one I have found so far that supports Pantone....
It would be largely independent if interest rates represented market rates. However, given the power and actions of the Federal Reserve, that will never be so while that institution exists.
There is another social media app that had built it’s whole interaction model around this concept. But it was a bad idea because it is just a simple feature that can be replicated inside the giants. I am not surprised it took little to copy it.

At 5'9 Im comfortable with my average height. Sure, had I been taller Id probably be perceived differently but these are things that cannot be changed (till now). Since I'm comfortable with my height I rarely think about this but I'm sure shorter guys may have it more on their mind than I do. Im genuinely curious though, with extending the length of the femur, wouldn't that make the body change proportions? Aren't taller folks consisting of larger/longer bones overall? How would that affect center of mass and balance?

I found that confidence can overcome a few inches in height and good communication skills can overcome the advantage taller people have, well, except for dating stuff...
Maybe I've picked the wrong phones, but I've also found them to occasionally completely die without any advance warning even if treated carefully, so I remain a bit wary about using them for anything ultra-critical.

And mobile phone providers over here don't guarantee even two nines of reliability, never mind that even 3½ days of no service per year is already too much for some critical things, like being able to get at your money.

And the local public transport association for example tries to disclaim any responsibility for any sort of problems if you're using their mobile ticketing app – if it doesn't work, though luck, your problem, buy a new ticket or pay a fine. Even if you've bought a monthly season ticket there are no special provisions, and the rules don't even differentiate between technical issues caused by myself [1], those caused by third parties (like the mobile service provider) or those caused by the public transport provider respectively its app developers themselves.

[1] Although while I can take care to keep it sufficiently charged, not letting it fall to the ground or whatever, I still can't prevent it from just randomly dying anyway, or the manufacturer issuing some borked update or whatever
Biden Issues New Order to Block Chinese Investment in Technology in the U.S.
I encountered something similar to this a long time ago in NYC. My friend who keeps tropical fish invited me to tag along with him shopping for interesting new additions to his tank.

We visited a couple in Chinatown that were striking similar to your Czech restaurant: employees kind of surprised to see someone come in the door, one operational fish tank with one or two fish in it amidst a large wall of empty tanks, comically outrageous over the top nobody-would-ever-pay-that-ever-ever prices. Figured it must have been some flavor of money laundering, but it also seemed... too obvious?

I don’t know how to deal with these kind of articles. As someone that uses these high potency cartridges often, and knows tons of people that do also, I’ve never seen anything even remotely like what is described in this article. I’m open to marijuana being dangerous, but I’ve never really seen it. Now mixing it with meth, shit like that seems like a horrible idea.
Oh, I think in this case it's a match made in heaven. It's an extension for people who don't care about data harvesting.
Spell checkers do cause bad spelling, though. My spelling was once excellent (literally spelling bee kid), and after years of spellcheck, it's not only a lot worse, but I also often use the wrong word because it passed spellcheck - either because the wrong word is spelled similarly to the right word, or because the right word isn't in the spellcheck dictionary so I assumed I was wrong.

I don't know how you can tell me that my spelling has actually improved, and that I'm learning something from spellcheck other than not to worry about spelling things correctly because the computer will do it.

edit: By the same reasoning, you could argue that people are better at remembering phone numbers now because their cellphones remind them of the numbers every time they make a call. It would be a vaguely plausible theory before cellphones were widespread, but obviously false with experience.

Some also spoke of various forms of sexual violence, including some instances of rape, affecting mainly women. These accounts included having been forced by guards to perform oral sex in the context of an interrogation and various forms of sexual humiliation, including forced nudity. The accounts similarly described the way in which rapes took place outside the dormitories, in separate rooms without cameras. In addition, several women recounted being subject to invasive gynaecological examinations, including one woman who described this taking place in a group setting which “made old women ashamed and young girls cry”, [168] because they did not understand what was happening. The Government has firmly denied these claims, often through personal or gendered attacks against the women who have publicly reported these allegations.[16]

How on earth have you come to the conclusion that not having operating expenses is centralizing?
Capital looses so much from people working from home.

Easiest to notice is property values. They own or rent huge buildings that will loose value as the need for them decreases. That is capitalism 101.

The bigger loss for Capital is leverage and control. If the employee is no longer bound by the shackles of working at a location, they loose the ability to pay them less, to lord over their time, to dictate their needs and will onto their employees. Suddenly Capital is forced to compete non-locally in a way they never had to before.
Sad news.

I sat alongside customer service agents working phones, email, and chat. They use copy-pasted stuff for everything. I will watch them search word for a template way slower than I could type, but that's their process.

Re-used phrases is not a sign of a bot, IMO. But it is a sign of employees who have to respond to the same thing over and over and don't have much power to effect change.
Sure there is.

The continued investment required for PoW is the difference.

If a PoW coin ever becomes centralized, it can become decentralized by new parties investing in more hashing power.

If a PoS coin ever becomes centralized, then it stays centralized. You can't just "buy" more stake unless the 51% player agrees to sell you some.

It really seems like PoS is the rich get richer without having to expend any effort. They stake their coins (costing nothing) and get rewards. If you have more coins to stake than others on average, you'll win the block rewards more often than others, increasing your ownership share.

In PoW, because computers are constantly getting faster/more efficient, your existing mining hardware depreciates with time and you have to continue to invest to maintain your dominance.

There should be seperate types:

<input type=integer>
<input type=float>

We need 2 different input keyboards on mobile: it should not be possible to type a dot if the input must be an integer.

Currently seems to difficult to get a simple integer input: Chrome and Safari does not interpret step=1 as "no decimals".

Also: the up/down buttons should go. That should be an explicit option as they don't make sense in most cases. Might have a type=count for that.

Most of that is self-inflicted though. Lifestyle-related.

It's not a bad thing either, you can live your life like a saint and still die young of cancer. I think we're focused on physical instead of mental health too much sometimes.

> because people buy the largest, longest mortgage they can afford, small changes in small interest rates result in large changes in the monthly payment. I feel like this ends up making the whole housing market more volatile.

In the US, I think 90% of home mortgage loans are fixed rate loans, so borrowers do not have changing monthly payments. I cannot find an easy source for it, but I think I read it from an Ellie Mae report.

And ARMs come in 5/7/10 year, but the longest mortgages are fixed rate at 15/20/25/30 years.
It gives me whiplash to see Sean Parent's deeply technical public talks on Adobe's experiences with C++, and Adobe's disdain for customers (and presumably other programmers' disdain for Adobe).

FWIW, I’ve never seen an ‘e’ from a number input on the PHP side, probably because it is parsed correctly. I’ve also never seen it from ‘.valueAsNumber’ on the js side either, except rendering big/small numbers but the internal representation was still correct. Using IntlFormat solved that problem IIRC. If you are passing it around as a string, then I imagine it’s a bigger problem.
Is this an advert for Keenforms?
Setting aside the fact that your own measure means that 42% of Americans own zero shares, meaning that it is already not representative. The fact that 58% of Americans own a share does not imply that they are shareholders of every single one of the ~6,000 companies listed on the public markets in the US. Further, 10% of Americans hold 89% of the stocks in the US, and therefore as many voting shares.

So yes, I do mean the US. I’ll reiterate: it is absurd to imply that “the public” in reference to shareholders is somehow synonymous with “the public” in reference to voters in America.

I don't care so much about paying rent. What I care about is what happened to me, back in 2020. During the pandemic, the wealthy fled Manhattan and created a buying frenzy in Upstate NY, where I live. My landlady decided it was in her interest to cash in on that; and, so, when the whole world was being turned upside down, I got the news that I would have to look for another place to live. I bought a condo solely for the control it offered me. As far as I'm concerned, nobody gets to do that to me again.

When you invite the public in, it's public. Maybe not quite the same way as a city park, but it's not wholly private either. That's both obvious in a common-sense way, and part of the law. It's just not really been applied to the Internet yet.
>Prior to the merge ethereum’s trust was controlled by the organizations with the most money who bought/built massive data centers to mine it.

In the prior state, the folks with control were the ones willing to invest in it. In the after state, the folks with control are the ones willing to invest, OR the ones willing to get others to invest - i.e. coinbase.
You are downplaying the real impact of "software that run on the EVM."

Absent the existence of a functioning and accessible legal system to mediate the resolution of disputes, smart contracts can serve the societal purpose otherwise served by traditional paper contracts.

Yes, smart contracts are not paper contracts disputes over which are judiciable by a court, but in many situations smart contracts can replace paper contracts, reducing or eliminating the need for courts to intervene in the first place.

> When you own one home free and clear, the price is almost irrelevant.

What does this look like in a state like California for property taxes? My understanding is, due to prop 13, your property taxes are a function of the initial price you paid and increase slowly (much slower than housing inflation in recent decades).

That suggests paying a lower price later could have long term impact on cost of ownership beyond just mortgage payments.

Apparently there is a prop 8 that allows the property tax to be reduced if the house value goes down. I wonder if this has actually been applied in practice (2008 crisis?), but the process seems to be a lot more bureaucratic (annual revision of home value) so I wonder if it's even feasible to do this in a down market.

EDIT: This [0] seems to be a concise explanation with an example. Essentially, if you pay P, that's the base value for property tax. On year k you will pay property tax as if the house was worth min(assessed_value, P * (1.02 ^ k)).

If housing prices go down, you may temporarily pay lower property taxes, but in the long term, if house prices keep increasing faster than 2% a year, your property tax will be tied to the P you paid initially.

When i was in elementary school, a classmate had something wrong with the growth plates in his femur, and the solution at the time was to basically do this surgery but at 2mm a week. He spent all of third grade with pins in his left leg and a permanently semi-healing femur that would get cracked open a bit further and a bit further...

he missed a LOT of school, because he basically couldn't function for 48 hours after the next increment was done.

The alternative was that his left leg would be 8" shorter than his right, so it was probably the right thing to do, but good lord it's not without cost.
Doesn't change the underlying problem.
Pretty sure online poker players did a reverse version of this after it was made illegal in the US. They have a proxy out of the US, which they log into to play from inside the US.
My best friend was ruined by high potency marijuana. It’s taken him nearly 2 years to recover from his cannabis hyperemesis. We even recently went for a walk near the Shoreline Ampitheatre and the secondhand smoke from a group of teens caused him to start vomiting all over. That was likely psychosomatic to some degree but the pendulum has absolutely swung too far in the “pot is harm free” direction.

This doesn’t change my opinion on legalization or drug policy but I try to not ignore data points that are contrary to my currently held beliefs.

Not likely. We'rein an energy crisis and it just started getting cold. So, the opposite.
I also live in a state that permits injunctive relief in small claims court, I think. Although I'm not sure how much teeth that would have. I'm kinda concerned about them digging into my old DMs because I'm sure they'll find a reason to make everything relevant they possibly can, and they end up on a record I can't seal or something, costing me all sense of privacy and dignity.

I'm generally clueless about the process in depth, admittedly.
Maybe true, but you never make the shots you don't take. Space-X has had a reusable orbital booster for almost a decade and no one else has built one yet. Tesla continues to ramp up production of the 3 and Y at 50% year over year. Next year they will likely produce over 2 million cars. The run rate at the end of this year will be about that. Once wait times for Model 3/Y orders are eliminated you might see the $30k model 3 (inflation adjusted) in a year or two. Tesla margins are large and cost reduction are continuous. It would be silly for them to price them that cheap right now and just give resellers all of that profit.
