Well I was talking from what science currently says will happen to the universe, if there maybe is anything else beyond that I cannot say. But I'm more than happy to find out if my day has come, until then I try to make the best out of things.
My personal favourite is when you go to open a support chat and it makes you enter your issue into a text box. Then the chat starts, you repeat your issue to save time, and then regardless of the issue sitting on their screen twice, they ask what your issue is. I assume it’s either automatic or they’re penalized for not clicking the button that “says” it.
We could also live in caves but folks wouldn't recommend that. A family living in a single room the size of a modern living room would soon get child protection agencies called on them–what was normal in pioneer days (pro-creating in the same room as your children, for example) would certainly be a serious issue today!
Been using Bunch.ai for daily tips for quite a while. Some were very helpful. I wasn't so good at keeping up with new features and tips, though. This will give me another reason to try it. Hopefully, this new feature is as helpful as it can be.
Yeah sorry my argument might not have been exactly clear, I'm not trying to argue either way on how local/global governance should be. I'm trying to say that less governance over property rights is better.

It happens in this case that the state is in favor of less governance over property than local governments so I'm in support of the state here, but that doesn't always hold true and I'd be pro-local if the situation was reversed.
Looks pretty cool and useful, but how do you prevent it to reinforce biases/unfair practices at work?
Yeah, Stadia's load times were still bad, it was silly. And they didn't streamline entry into most games so you'd still be watching publisher logos, pressing Start to continue, navigating menus, logging in, accepting additional clickthrough license agreements, etc. What a farce that was.
I'm hopeful to draw more attention to this problem. It's been an issue for many years that creates a giant security hole on the internet.

A lot of experts have complained about the issue for years, but it's fallen on deaf ears.
Seems ... not legal
haha fixed
Those agreements usually permit the company to choose not to do business with you for any reason, including no reason. Usually that's fine since you can just use a competitor. But when a company has a significant market share and there are no realistically viable small business competitors, then consumers end up with no service for no reason. This is what I agree needs regulation.
That's interesting! Can you provide some links to evidence regarding Vit K2-MK4, its effects on calcium in the bloodstream, and how that inhibits the effects of catecholamines and leads to sleep induction?
No.

You can use both in pwsh on any OS.

>the stillness you feel through medication is something I only felt after a nice workout.

I struggle going to sleep at night. I'll either ruminate on bad memories from the past and get myself all wound up, or I start mentally taking apart a coding problem.

The best way I've found to deal with this is exercise. It's hard to be wound up when you're physically exhausted. Afterwards I can actually feel my body relax, and I can drift off to sleep.
I always assumed so as well, but that kind of suggests they either intentionally misspelled "restriction" as "restruiction" to make it seem like you're actually talking to a human that is writing their responses, or they didn't, and nobody has ever noticed, or the tickets don't ever reach anyone who has the ability to fix the error.

I don't know. The replies are strange and sound like they're not written by a native speaker. If they had pre-selectable reply-blocks, wouldn't those be written by professionals?
This won't scale all that well -- like if you have more than one kid.
It's been about a decade since last time I bought on eBay, for me trust is very important and I don't trust eBay anymore since then.
You van already do Bruxelles to Perpignan with a direct ( french ) TGV train, in 6/7 hours. If you want to go to Spain I believe bruxelles Barcelona via Paris is also quite practical. Everything is much pricier than plane and no night train though
It's possibly because of Prop 218. One of Howard Jarvis's more insidious laws which requires that local taxes get 2/3 of votes to pass.
Aren’t the projects only exempt from zoning if they are 20% below-market-rate or 100% middle income?
I have a foldable BT keyboard as well (generic one on Amazon under different brand names). I find myself not using it because it sits completely flat, which is uncomfortable to type on for long periods of time. My palm doesn't seem to rest on the table, it hovers over the keys instead. Not sure if it's the same for you.

A laptop keyboard is usually a half-inch or so off the table surface, as it sits on top of the laptop base.
I imagine it is a tiny fraction of the people getting laid off that go that route - imo, most are out applying for jobs.

I work for a fortune 50 company - (not faang), on our team we had 2 openings posted back in early November - one for a developer, one for a lead developer (same tech stack) - this was for a fully remote positions, but limited to timezones that mostly overlapped with the USA - we got 3 applicants for the lead, 4 for the non-lead positions and hired from that pool.

Mid Jan we got the OK for two more developers (also 100% remote, the same tech stack and same total comp as above), we got over 330 resumes to weed thru this time - with lots of ex-faang and other big name tech companies folks applying, whereas we never saw resumes from those companies before.

Its good for us of course, but I feel bad for anyone who needs a job quickly - there is an awful lot of competition for not as many openings
It shouldn't be, but that's how the game has been played for longer than you or I have been alive.

The fact that the penalty for many serious violations consists of fines that represent a tiny fraction of the company's worth means that breaking the law is an easy economic decision for companies. Fines are just a cost of doing business, and not even a major one.
Amazing! Maybe in the future they'll build this into the releases, but in the mean time this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

edit:

I realise now that it's better than expected, apart from giving instructions there are also prebuilt packages. You have to trust the packages of course, but the instructions are simple enough and can be done within tmux.

It has more to do with income and running expenses. That $1.8M that was bought in the 1960s for a few tens of thousands has appreciated, sure. But houses require maintenance, upgrades, and taxes that are in today's prices. Someone that old that has retired and is living on fixed income maybe can't afford those anymore and opt to move to a lower cost of living area. Thus they are forced out by the general demand for everything--basically being outbid by the influx of new residents. Relative to the person earning a lot and paying a mortgage, yes, they are poor.
This problem has been attempted to be solved by software engineers or MBAs -- not people with humanities degrees. Behind every weird convoluted process is a batch of CEOs who don't know what they're doing besides copying their neighbor.

I agree with the commentary about guilds, unions, etc. I'm self-taught and would appreciate the legitimacy that these groups could offer through testing/training/merits etc. By relying on specialist organized groups you're abstracting the non-human issues from the humans themselves.
I'm fairly certain I can tell you exactly what is happening.

In societies where the women were staying home, they weren't doing nothing. They were providing child care, maintaining the social networks that bind society together, doing all the at home work that makes it possible for the other partner to work a full time job.

40+ hours a week really requires a second person to do all the other stuff to be sustainable. It was never supposed to be the case that you have two people both working full time and then trying to do all the other stuff on weekends and evenings. That's insane! Especially since men seem to not be doing their fair share of that other work- why would any woman want to take on a full time job and do all the rest?

If you want to have gender equality- and you absolutely should want that- then as a society, you need to reduce work weeks to 20 hours. Otherwise you are just running the whole thing into the ground.

I see a lot of people pointing towards religious beliefs as the proximate cause here- but have you considered that the places that are the most religious are also the places where there is a single breadwinner? Are you sure it's the religion and not the extra social slack that is responsible? Because there is a clear and plausible mechanism for the extra slack of a single breadwinner being relevant, but for religion by itself, it's a much more tenuous connection.

You could probably make things work with a somewhat longer work week- say, 30 hours- if you also supplied families of young children with 100% free child care and subsidized housing.

Otherwise, your civilization is eating its young.
Whether it's Manhattan, Brooklyn, or even Paris... none of them would exist as we know them if we cared about "developments often ruin neighborhoods".

Neighborhoods change. What was once farm land and a few houses becomes suburban. What was once suburban becomes medium density. What was once medium density becomes dense city core. That's how cities have always worked. As the value of the land changes existing owners cash out and developers infill or rebuild. As density grows the justification (and budget) for city services like subways and parks grows.

Excessively restrictive zoning cuts off that natural process after the farmland-to-suburb step.

In free market terms if you cared so much about what your neighbor does with their own property you should have bought an interest in that property. Who are you to tell someone else they can't build a bigger building on property they own?

In reality there are few true free markets and externalities exist but in property rights terms zoning is a rather large government imposition to benefit other landowners often without any compensation to the owners who want to build. In an ideal world people who want to keep single family zoning should be paying land value fees to their neighbors who want to build density to compensate for the restriction. You couldn't possibly make such a scheme work in the real world though.
You're right, they're not the same thing. I would imagine killing an infant yourself after it's born is a lot harder (and actually murder) than having a non-medically necessary later term abortion. And yet hundreds of women do it every year. If you think "literally nobody" has a non-medically necessary late term abortion, then you need to provide some evidence to back up such an absurd statement. It's legal in all those states for a reason.
More people may make a neighborhood more "vibrant." It can also increase traffic, congestion more broadly, make goods and services more expensive, etc.
I am dealing with something similar. Sleep and exercise help, as can CBT or other psychological interventions, but nothing works as well as stimulants.
I visited a contact center for a major-ish online retailer once for work, and watched their processes. They had people dedicated to chat, who would operate 5 or more chats simultaneously, and in general were typing rather than copy/paste iirc. I'm sure it happens though, these guys I visited were pretty low tech.

It's often easy to see the copy paste variety happening though, e.g. in email discussions where you get sent some wall of text that's barely applicable to your situation. I've had this happen a lot with amazon and uber.
I have a friend who recently went through a very negative experidnmce with supprt team from Framework...

My friend is quite the hardware expert, and has built and fixed computers of all types for decades, and his hardware skills are second-to-none. He bought a framework laptop for his significant other several months ago - let's say somryhing like 5 or 6 months ago. The SO used the laptop, then had to use a diffeent machine for work...so left the Framework unplugged for about 1.5 ~ 2 months....so of course, the battery lost its charge. This is not the issue. Subsequently,. when my friend's SO retuned to start using the new machine again, it woulkd not start nor charge, etc. Hey, components fail for every hardware maker, so not a big deal. After many negative interactions between my friend and Framework support, it seems like there is a bug in hardware that Framework blamed on Intel compoenent which potentially can prevent from batteries charging....in addition, somehow it also inhibits computer from using it while connected to non-battery power...in other words, the computer is not able to be used at all. Here's the worser part, the Framework support team stated that even though the machine was well within warranty, because they blamed Intel, its not returnable nor refundable nor even somthing Framewokr was willing to swap out...So my friend and his SO are no stuck with no refund nor replacement, and an unsable computer. Their only recourse now is legal.

I'm sure there are other details that my friend did not inform me about. But if this is happening to others - the poor support from Framework team - then this is quite worrying indeed. I counted myself as a big fan of Framework, and i definitely was going to get myself one whenever i am due to get a new laptop...but after hearing this horrorible experience fro my friend, i will be hol;ding back from buying anything Framework related for quite some time.

@martin_a If you will be looking into Framework, please do whatever research you can into their returns/refunds policies. Also, I don;t know how to go about this, but: please research what other experieneces other folks have had with their support department. Good luck!

Sounds exactly like what happened with me and PayPal (guess they still share that).

Transferred a few hundred bucks to a PayPal account I hadn't used in a while. Got banned with no option for reinstatement or explanation. They basically just kept my money and said there was nothing I could do about it kthxbai.

I understand verification for anything flagged as risky. I hadn't used the account in years so I can see why it might show up that way. But no, there's no way to verify my identity or speak with anyone who can tell me anything. That money just went poof (for me at least).
From [1]:

> A rate of 2.1 children per woman is necessary to maintain a population at its current level (immigration and migration aside). California and the nation had fertility rates near population replacement levels in 2008, but every state falls below those levels today. California has fallen faster than most, dropping from 2.15 to 1.52

Well below replacement rates on births. I imagine a very large portion of the births are immigrant births as well, which would push the rate even lower.

>That in turn affects the choices you make about what you eat, when you go to sleep, the quality of you’re sleep, the increase in dopamine from all those activities, which then feeds back into the cycle.

It's really hard to eat a candy bar when you know how much exercise is going to be required to burn it off.
We have improved our FAQ section to make sure it reflects why we need the permission. We have really tight github integration and creating status checks on github is impossible wihout GH permissions. We ask for the bare minimum!
I imagine if/when this story hits tech news outlets, someone in the eBay management chain will be regretting that response. No reply at all would genuinely be better for them than something so half-baked and kafkaesque.
When I broke my collarbone a few years back, urgent care turned me away. Maybe others have had better luck there, but in my experience they're not good for much more than maybe stitches and dispensing over-the-counter pain medication.
Show HN: Promptly – Prompt Management Platform for LLM Apps
We are excited to show Promptly (https://trypromptly.com), a prompt management platform for LLM apps that makes it easy to experiment, share and manage prompts in production.

With Promptly, users can:

- Try out different prompts and model parameters for various providers
- Quickly share prompt snippets together with parameters and generated output. Think of it as CodePen or JSFiddle for prompts
- Create high level endpoints on top of provider APIs (Open AI, DreamStudio etc) with templated and versioned prompts
- Use built-in caching for endpoints that will help save on Open AI costs and improve latency

We built Promptly at MakerDojo (https://makerdojo.io) to simplify our prompt experimentation and deployment to production for text to SQL and plot generations. Currently, Promptly supports Open AI's completions, image generation, and Stable Diffusion's Text2Image with more on the way.

Please check it out at https://trypromptly.com and let us know if you have any feedback.
Eh, the sound system on the elevator being hooked up to the guest and entertainment network isn't really a sin in my eyes.
I had a case recently where a company recommended that I kick off a credit card dispute. But it was because the company was calling in the administrators, and therefore they wouldn't have any reputation or assets very soon anyway.
Note that even very expensive places can have this. e.g. Dublin / San Ramon in the Bay Area: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php?pws=CA0110009

Whenever I consider a town to live in, I google {town name} + {ewg}. The Environmental Working Group has water analysis for pretty much the entire country. Eye opening and terrifying.
Not a lot of traditional farming has been shut down (that's still supposed to happen) and I expect those measures to mostly impact cheap meat production. You won't see the Netherlands farming bell peppers in the fields any time soon, despite the current state of global warming. Not year round, anyway.

The greenhouses are closing down because of unrelated reasons; they're not profitable with the current prices of natural gas. It's cheaper to import from the (disappointing) harvest in the south than it is to grow these foods despite the price increase, so there's no reason to waste money on greenhouses at the moment. The fruits and vegetables listed do typically come from greenhouses, so there's a good chance it has something to do with that.
I'd love the ability to send mail through a public SMTP relay, such as Amazon SES or Sendgrid, so the server could be hosted on "untrusted" IP space and send outbound mail through a trusted relay.
You know things can land somewhere in the middle right? No need to be so intentionally black and white.
Depends on how you define better. I don't mind planes but I hate the process of getting off and on a plane. There is no single best mode of transport. There are so many variables involved. Price, time, proximity, personal preferences,..
Well, with a quantum of class, they could

1) acknowledge that their judgement was erroneous,
2) publish that as a correction, listing the project, ideally with a small apology and at least some details on how the entry would have been judged if not for the GitHub link and
3) create a separate prize for "projects our judges learned valuable lessons from".

As a good example of a similar precedent, look at this entry from 1994: https://web.archive.org/web/20200214094614/http://www0.us.io...
All the supermarkets near me don't have peppers. However all the small shops selling fruit and veg have plenty. I think it's partly due to the supermarkets demanding a specific size/shape/grade.
Meanwhile, I've recently seen a few popups/banners from Google asking me to switch to Chrome.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to conflate this with hijacking. Also, I do not see the banner when I view the page in Edge. Displaying a banner outside of the page in a separate window (as is indicated in the article) is definitely not hijacking in any sense of the term.

In general, using a preexisting weapon once is going to be orders of magnitude cheaper than designing a new weapons system from scratch. There's no way that it would cost less than $400k to safely arm a U-2. A single hole also wouldn't have brought the balloon down

Is there a monopsony in the UK? It seems like there are at least 6 or 7 supermarket companies in the UK, presumably they are not all buying from farmers as 1 entity?

Unfortunately it's often both - farmers have to grow way more than they need to make sure there's enough to meet supermarket demand after adverse weather, pests etc.
As with most security, it always depends on what you're trying to defend against.

A commercial VPN, even a very good one is probably not good protection if you're being directly targeted by the NSA. It's very good against your ISP selling your browsing habits to advertisers. There's a spectrum between the two and it's likely decent protection for most of that.
The wet dream of space population always rubs me the wrong way. Basically all of these purely human issues will exist anywhere we go until we solve them. Earth is the only planet we know of that is perfectly made for us. No other place can fit us as well. And yet we can't even utilize it properly.

Given that, it's almost childish to think that our #1 priority is to populate other random nearby planets.
I’m not the above poster, but I would say reducing friction is key. I have no problem exercising, probably my greatest joy in life, but when my attention “tank” is low I can spend an hour failing to get on the damn bike and go. So I have everything I need, a change of clothes, bike pants, bike shoes, helmet right next to the bike, so I can’t waste time looking for things, wandering aimlessly, etc.

There are also many stops on the way and you might only get on in Basel or get off somewhere in Germany already, leaving you with even less time on the train, so 12h for the full Zurich-Amsterdam trip is not unreasonable.
In expected value yes. But the variance is high and people with all their wealth in one asset don't want the extra risk. Sitting around doing nothing has provided them more than enough wealth already.
