There are plenty of bisexual people I know that have open arrangements who are in relationships with a partner of one sex and are only permitted by that partner to date people of another sex by that partner (because fear of competition/jealousy reasons).

Some people only want romantic relationships with a partner of one sex while hookups with another. Some people have bi-cycles. Some people are attracted to a person of their own gender 80% of the time and another 20% of the time.

Many bi people aren't out or completely honesty with their dating history because they have to put up with the insecurities and stereotypes trotted out by the chronically ignorant from both straight and gay communities. The lack of support and understanding is one of the reasons why rates of depression and anxiety are higher for bisexual people. Imagine being questioned about your preferences and asked to make a choice by a group of people that were held to a similar level of cultural-interrogation by heterosexuals. Bisexuals are a minority of a minority, however, I am glad the attitude of thinking bisexuality is secretly indecisiveness is dying off.
There's a series called "Raiders of the Lost Art" that tells these kind of tales. I've enjoyed both seasons. Currently on Curiosity Stream I believe: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5067190/
It does! That was actually one of the motivations for open-sourcing.
On Reddit, supposedly only admins can edit posts. You should name and shame the company/sub
What's Red Hat got to do with this? Sure, they're a big GNOME contributor, but so is Canonical or Purism or Endless or, until recently, System76.
You're exaggerating a bit - Pennsylvania has Philadelphia but occasionally goes red, most recently in 2016. Swing states do exist.

Also worth noting: weather doesn't appear out of nowhere usually, airplanes can see the weather around them on radars and other instruments, airships would probably be equipped with similar instruments in order to avoid bad weather.
If by 'normal' you mean the 'new normal'. Prices on new GPU's might feel like a bargain compared to the Cryto/Covid/Generational perfect storm of the last 3 years, but they remain high compared to what a decent mid-range system used to be at, even accounting for inflation.
When you realise Reddit is moderated by unpaid megalomaniacs and teenagers, everything starts to fall into place. In some ways Reddit is worse than Facebook because it is influenced by anonymous entities with zero checks and balances.

Thank you for this well put reply.

I think I need to add that I don't mean to judge for this. I've been in similar places too. It can be a fine line with many shades of gray between "dissocation" and "coping". Some of it may be useful to somebody. Falling into it as a trap is very human.
I don't understand the idea behind it.

Now:

1) You give your real number to someone.

2) Somehow your real number goes into a list used by robo-callers.

3) A robo-call arrives on your real number, disturbing your peace.

After:

0) You give Mozilla 3.99 or 4.99 US$/month

1) You give your Mozilla number to someone.

2) Somehow your Mozilla number goes into a list used by robo-callers.

3) A robo-call arrives on your Mozilla number, that promptly relays it to your real number, disturbing your peace.

You cannot change your Mozilla number, so it is basically an "alias" number, where is the advantage?

Stopping paying so that the number becomes invalid?

But then you won't be reachable anymore by the people you gave that number to.
“… hardly anything I'd write a New York Times article about.”

Given that NYT devotes an entire section to the goings-on of old money New Yorkers, I’m not sure the bar is all that high.

And hey sometimes coincidences are just that, but other times they can lead to profound theories. I’m reminded of Monstrous Moonshine for which Borcherds earned the Fields Medal in 1998: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstrous_moonshine

The term "monstrous moonshine" was coined by Conway, who, when told by John McKay in the late 1970s that the coefficient of
q (namely 196884) was precisely one more than the degree of the smallest faithful complex representation of the monster group (namely 196883), replied that this was "moonshine" (in the sense of being a crazy or foolish idea). Thus, the term not only refers to the monster group M; it also refers to the perceived craziness of the intricate relationship between M and the theory of modular functions.

I wanted to undergo a medical treatment but it required me to stay off alcohol for the treatment duration. I wasn't sure if I could do it so I deferred it for a long time. Eventually I worked up the courage and did it for ~10 months.

I started buying 0 calorie fizzy water (Bubly) as my go-to replacement for alcohol. Opening up a can fulfilled part of my prior habit. Swapping one habit for a more healthy variant is one tip.

I was also held accountable by my doctor reviewing my monthly blood test. If I drank alcohol I assumed they would catch it. There are other people that you can ask to hold you accountable like this.

I'm not sure how to get over the self-hatred after a binge. In one respect I think it's healthy in a small dose. But if it's so large that you don't want to restart your sobriety then it's a problem.
It would be pretty simple if they could be unmanned, fly them.

I think the article (unintentionally) makes a better argument that these companies are trying to create megafires?

It presents a bunch of startups, most about detecting forest fires earlier, coordinating faster fire department responses, preventing ignition sources, etc. Then it goes on to explain how Megafires are largely caused by a buildup of fuel because we extinguish every small fire and prevented people from doing what we now call prescribed burns.

Of course any tool can be used for good or evil, but aren't most of the described startups more likely to make the situation worse, giving people more tools to prevent fires until so much fuel builds up that an uncontrollable fire develops?
Wouldn’t that just increase the number of calls, now that you can receive them on multiple numbers?
There is a great youtube channel that tests out different energy storage and harvesting setups, a lot of them focused around water.

Is the dark theme the only way to read this page? The contrast between white-background graphics and the surrounding (forced) dark theme makes it difficult to consume. I'm all for dark themes but in the absence of theme toggle controls it's fair to assume black text on white background is preferred as most browser extensions (i.e. DarkReader) will enable the option to view it in dark mode but they lack the inverse capabilities.
The key to reaching a real solution is to build _consensus_ behind an _accounting_ solution that traces tax dollars all the way through to economic outcomes for these people.

Assuming the system will work the way you expect it to work, and not fail into more lucrative modes that are trivial to predict.
Subscriptionization(?) continues: "Right now, an Rplate for a personal vehicle (the battery version) runs to $19.95 a month for 48 months, which will total $975.60 if kept for the full term. If opting to pay a year at a time, the price is $215.40 a year for the same four-year period, totaling $861.60. Wired plates for commercial vehicles run $24.95 for 48 months, and $275.40 if paid yearly."
> I think it comes down to if you think it makes sense for variables to be captured by value or by reference in closures.

No, this comes down to “should a loop control variable be scoped to the block—or in python’s case function—the loop is in and updated with each iteration or a fresh variable scoped to each loop iteration that happens to share the same name.”
I was excited about the watch until i learned that. At least i can save my money now.

> So Discord can just take servers from people and give them away to corporations without asking?

He never had a "server". Just like no one has a Facebook "server". Discord is a corporation not a person. Communities run by corporate services are different than servers run by human persons. You give up everything when you don't actually host your own server(s) for communicating with your community.

How does the geographical aspect work? Are you mobile enough that you don't mind meeting a person that's a flight away? Or is it primarily online communities that are already geo-bound, like discords/reddits for particular cities?

==California still has all the same issues.==

We weren't talking about California, the topic was Florida. That said, California's Governor is trying to solve those issues through policy, Florida's Governor is focused on being "anti-woke". Meanwhile, California has a Maternal Mortality Rate of 4/100k, Florida's is 22/100k [1]. One out of every 4,500 Florida women forced to carry a baby to term will die.

Interestingly, the 7 best states for K-12 education are all pretty "woke" [2]. Florida is ranked 33rd in math scores and 22nd in reading, maybe we should be looking to them for best practices rather than focusing one something completely unrelated to actually educating youth.

Edit to add: My state Illinois has much higher standard for students than Florida, which basically grades proficiency on a curve. Lowering the standards rather than the hard work of actually improving education.

"In Illinois, a student needs to earn a level of 4 or 5 to be considered proficient. In comparison, the rigor of Florida’s standards ranks 39th and 42nd, respectively, and a student only needs to earn a level 3 on the state assessment to be considered proficient." [3]

==treated as a racist in training by taking a million anti discrimination classes or be insulted by a class telling me to "sit in my shame".==

I've never had that feeling in a DEI class. I wonder why that is your reaction. It may be worth exploring why discussing equity makes you feel like you are losing something. Maybe you had a bad instructor?

==If the child is gay or transgender on their own, so be it. School should not be the realm to promote it or suggest it.==

This is the sex-ed argument all over again. If we don't mention underage sex, it doesn't exist. Talking about gay people doesn't turn someone gay. Banning books and regulating what teachers can teach/say doesn't seem like a solution to the problem you mentioned. It seems the same as mandating abstinence.

I'm guessing that by choosing to respect the wishes of artists, stability has formed direct lines of contact with institutions (understandably) in favor of the status quo for art. Politics, to a degree.

I respect the initial decision, but this is all a bit much.

Whew, spicy. This will be interesting to follow. Did the AMA happen already?
I really disagree.

Enforcing HTTPS is bad enough, but refusing to support plain HTTP for trivial sites is just arrogant and user hostile.

Say I don't care about the possibility of some of my magazine subscriptions being tampered with. Sure, put some kind of security in place for things that are delivering me important sensitive information — like official government information? I don't know. Forcing that down my throat for Fishing Weekly though, is just pointless. Oh, did hackers change the weight of that record fish? Oh no!

"But security!" is the new "Think of the children".
You could always set the default behavior to be uniform for all files (e.g. protect everything or protect nothing) and just forget about it. But it would be nice to be able to manually set the protection level for specific files that are the exception.

If I was copying an important file into an unprotected environment, I could change how it was handled (likewise if I was downloading some huge video I didn't care about into a system where the default protection was set to high).

I agree that if you have 100 million files, then it could be nearly impossible to classify every single one of them correctly.

Same. Though for email there are good services like Fastmail (and likely many others) which already offer this and other benefits for a nominal subscription fee.

I haven't implemented this idea yet, but what stops us from just buying Twilio credits, getting a number through them and then writing a bit of glue code to their API to pull down SMS messages (for things like 2-factor codes, etc) and route them wherever we find personally convenient? Maybe Twilio is also selling our customer data paired with these numbers to data brokers, though, IDK. It's just a fleeting idea I've had.

InboxSDK is very nice. However my personal stopper is the use of YOUR_APP_ID_HERE for broadcasting to mothership.

Didnt check the source code fully for a while.

1. hello-world example gives you a warning right into the face:

InboxSDK Developer Warning: Invalid AppId
You've loaded the InboxSDK with an unregistered appId. Registration is free but necessary to load the SDK.

https://github.com/InboxSDK/hello-world

It would be great to see it truly open source without YOUR_APP_ID_HERE hustle

2. source code looks a bit old

because they're all people who signed up for okcupid, who were actively using okcupid to date at the time.

the amount of pressure this puts on the sampling is hard to understate. not only are you looking at a highly truncated set of interpersonal dynamics (what you can tell about someone based on a dating profile is far less than what you can tell by meeting real people in meat space), you're specifically selecting for people who have been as of yet unsuccessful IRL. you're also selecting for people who wish to take a fairly serious shortcut around personal interaction.

given these factors, it would be both crazy and stupid to believe you can generalize about human nature anything you get from a dating app.

as for "what you see in real life", might I suggest that you, yourself, are also constrained to a perspective that doesn't necessarily match other people's perspectives, and that maybe, just maybe, you are also seeing a biased sample of the world which is both the result and cause of difficulties with interpersonal interactions?
You're saying all other use cases besides gaming together is niche compared to gaming itself? Not sure about that, a lot of NVIDIA cards are used in both the creative and engineering industries. And when they buy cards, they usually buy a lot of cards, not just one per device, as gamers do.

If you observe NVIDIA movements and actions, you'll see that they are starting to focus a lot more on B2B than they ever did before. Almost like their B2C is not the main focus anymore, just a good PR piece for them.

Unless it is a very recent change, that is always been true and admins don't even typically edit comments/submissions (with one very famous and controversial exception[0]). Mods can apply flair I believe though.

Again, I don't think Russia is technically an "enemy" of the US right now. Elon is also certainly not levying war against the US.

And if simply talking to a foreign power and then advocating peace constituted treason, we would have had to execute a huge number of journalists during the Cold War or the War on Terror.

And for the record, Treason laws have not been enforced in the US since WWII (and even then just barely).

Elon may certainly be guilty of something, but I don't think treason specifically.

I work on the app mentioned in the podcast. It is roughly 600k lines of Elm. I have previously worked at bigger, more well known companies, on apps 1/3 the size if not smaller. I've seen more frequent, and more reliable refactors in this Elm code than any I've worked in before. I'd easily take 1M lines of Elm over 100k lines of any JS framework, and I've worked with most of them.
Yeah, because they want to save on mod costs, I guess. Related to that: I am wondering, does @dang get a monthly paycheck for his incredible work?
Mods cannot edit posts, only admins. In my experience, however, reddit generally opts to fully remove any posts that break terms of service or guidelines. I've never seen a partial edit of another user's post by an admin with one drama-filled exception.

> Nvidia rebranded their Titan cards as 3090/4090 and people lap that up for some reason.

Two reasons people are gobbling these really expensive cards:

* Inventory constraints of the 3xxx series pushed people to buy any available card and it just so happens the 3090 was there waiting for them as the only available card (or within parts bundles).

* Streamers normalize overpriced setups. It used to be cool to be thrifty with pc builds, now its just all about "performance" as games become less and less optimized on launch.

The same shrinkage problem exists for the ceramic tooth crowns.

The vendor of the dental ceramic provides a program that uses a mathematical model of the shrinkage to compute the form required for the ceramic crown before sintering.

Of course the mathematical model is not perfect so the dentist may still have to do some small adjustments to the sintered crown.

Something like X units per new development are "reserved" for people under certain income limits. It distributes income ranges across geographic regions, rather than concentrating them by unit rental prices.

Here's one example from my neighborhood:

"On Sept. 19, contractors with the Anderson Companies were issued an $8 million construction permit for the foundation and footings of what will be a two-year building project at 411 Lexington Parkway — the 304-unit Lexington Station apartment building, half of which will be designated affordable housing."

It can be argued, based on the number of people who at some point write code in C that takes the address of a stack variable and returns it back out of the function scope, that the "less orthogonal" corner case that catches you off guard is the way C forbids that action. Do not mistake internalized concepts from a particular language as some sort of divinely approved dictate of how programming must work.

This was basically Dijkstra's point in his BASIC considered harmful post... I think in 2022 it should be C considered harmful for the same reason. C is not the base truth of computation. It isn't even very good. A language smart enough to analyze taking pointers and notice it can't put something on a stack and simply take care of it is, in my opinion, the one that is not catching you off guard... specifically, the "guard" that one must take in C around what is stack versus heap.
My immediate reaction to the headline was "oh, so NYT is now adding pop-sci clickbait to their repertoire?"

Most experts agree that 3 things are required to end megafires: Landscape management, community resilience and fast & aggressive suppression. It's a layered approach - similar to infosec models. No one layer is an effective solution.

Some of the examples in the article are focused on suppression (since that is a bit easier to grasp) - but there are some really exciting examples that exist outside of that. BurnBot, for example, is a robotic device that helps make fuel management more efficient. Overstory uses satellite imagery to help utilities prioritize line trimming and avoid ignitions.
