We document TILs (today I learned) in a GitHub repo and give mini tech-talks internally encouraging people to contribute. Next one on the list is “how indexing works in Postgres” with details on Btrees. The tech talks are one of the most appreciated things so far.

Giving some degree of freedom to innovate and assume ownership is also crucial. Feel free to reach out to me per email if you want, I am also looking for new ideas on how to improve this.
It was a fantastic gamble IMO. Low chance of success, but enormous payoff if it had succeeded. Imagine a commercially viable alternative to iPhone and Android with multiple manufacturers and a completely open platform. Ultimately, I think they came to market too late and Android moved into the niche (low end market) they were targeting.
They were insurance subsidies that were stopped a decade ago.

Just because New York runs an unconstitutional licensing scheme doesn't require the federal government to do anything. New York can bail out the people they gave a raw deal to.
Reading through this it's making a lot of sense, the lock icon was added to convey that the 'connection is secure', while making the assumption that the user understood it's talking about the transport layer behind the scenes. Of course, most users cannot be expected to know that kind of detail, so they would associate it with the thing in front of their eyes, the website itself.

I am sticking to Firefox but as changes go, this wouldn't be a terrible one for non-Chrome browsers to converge upon. I don't think it's a good idea to hide the option away entirely though; a lack of available information and options for a user on a platform can often lead to the platform itself deciding it needs to become the arbiter of information, but I assume the iOS limitation is Apple's usual user-hostile behaviour.
Very good silution
A review written by a human who didn't use the product is fake, a fortiori a review written by a non-human that doesn't use any products is fake.
Reductio ad Hitlerum is tedious and irrelevant in this scenario.

While food deserts do exist, and increase the risk of obesity for residents in one, "only" 6% of Americans live in one. Access alone does not account for the incredible rates of obesity among the poor in America.

I was also poor at one point, and I don't really know what to say about our differing experiences - I couldn't afford to eat junk food. I subsisted on rice, beans, grains, sale fruits/veg, and cheap cuts of meat. At my local walmart(which is in a HCoL area), you can buy 3500 calories of rice, 2600 calories of beans, and 5000 calories of chicken for $15, or 750 cal/$. It is hard to find processed food with a better cal/$ ratio than that. For example, a bulk box of velveeta mac and cheese at the same walmart is 3330 calories for $7.47, or 450 cal/$.

Absolutely, if you don't know how to cook or prepare food, processed food might be your only option. But, that is a knowledge issue, not a monetary issue.

Hello!

Software developer with a mechanical engineering degree here who has mostly worked in QA for Windows desktop applications and real-time data collection server applications. My role has mostly been that of a toolmaker for testing these applications. I am a naturally curious person and love learning new things, but am also not afraid of doing the grind of "shipping" a tool. If input from others is to be believed, I typically pick up concepts and onboard more quickly than most people.

I work with Python daily, and have for the past 6 years. I've designed and architected a few large pieces of tooling for my current team, including an RPC-like framework between Python and PowerShell.

I'd like to move into web development or a domain that combines my undergraduate degree with my current profession. While my resume lacks these technologies, that only means I've never been paid to work with them, not that I would completely lost working in a particular domain (maybe just slow to start).

----------

Location: Austin, TX, USA

Remote: Remote only, unless relocating.

Willing to relocate: Within US - no. Canada or western Europe - yes.

Technologies: I've been paid to write Python (Pydantic, TKinter), SQL, PowerShell, and some C#. Would consider myself an expert in Python, an advanced PowerShell user, and can can stumble my way through C#.

Résumé: (will edit later with link)

The claim/lie that there were "over 30,000 US banks just 10-15 years ago, it's now less than 3000, and they are all about to fail" is disinfo that is being pushed hard on twitter and reddit. On reddit it seems to be r/Sino regulars brigading financial subreddits but on twitter it seems to be accounts that are very supportive of a former US president.
GitHub is popular enough that I suspect it won't be a competitor that dethrones them, but rather they will implode from within. The copilot controversy is already steering things that way.
The problem with Pocket was that it was a separate brand name with a weird UX.

If it had been branded as a new "reading list" feature native to Mozilla I don't think it would have caused a stir.

I use Vivaldi now for two reasons: One, it is better than Firefox Mobile, and two, I like the ergonomics of its bookmarks and reading list sync.

Having the ability for the browser to be a suite isn't crazy.
My personal opinion is that Google, like most big techs, never had a cult of personality that many workers bought into.. My impression for meta, Apple at least under Jobs, and maybe Tesla is that many of the employees don't need to take their right to silence, they actually think these people don't suck.
Mozilla is funded by Google. (i.e. Chrome.)
If Firefox and Thunderbird development were financed from money collected from the VPN profits and / or donations, I'd happily pay. But I'd like it to be directed exactly there, or into other clearly stated initiatives I can understand and approve of, like Rust back in the day.

This specific thing has a history all tangled up with bad company behavior during the labor movement. You'd get the same reaction about a company paying in scrip and having a company store, no matter how many paragraphs one may compose of reasoned arguments that it's a decent, or even great, idea. People's first reaction will be, "yep, seen this before, fuck that" and they'll not pay attention to all the words about what a good idea it actually is.

The only things anyone still uses aren’t things created by Facebook. Everything he built (or is proud of) is old, or super creepy, or old and super creepy. Easy to see why nobody trusts him.

It doesn’t protect “privacy”, it at best limits a subset of reidentification attacks, and only in a vacuum where other fingerprinting vectors don’t exist.

> every story follows the same simple pattern

I very recently tried to get ChatGPT to generate Fritz Leiber style stories, and it would always end with some trite moral or a "bad" character having a change of heart, even after repeatedly asking it to not do that.

It's a really good tool for brainstorming, though.
> I have to imagine there's a boom of people trying it for the first time when it becomes legal who then realize it's not as universally enjoyable of a high as alcohol.

I know a number of people in the same boat as you who don't enjoy it and that's perfectly normal. Biochemistry is super complex and even well tested and regulated prescription drugs hit people differently.

I also think we grossly overstate how "universal" the high from alcohol is and as a society often overlook or blame problem drinkers rather than the substance itself. Alcohol intoxication can have wildly different impacts based on lots of factors. If you go to a bar and someone spends the night crying after getting drunk, no one goes, "well, par for the course alcohol is a depressant after all". We just chalk it up to a bad night. Personally, my experiences with alcohol overall are as negative as yours with THC.

There's also a ton of variance in between type of plants, delivery methods, concentrations, etc when starting with THC. You might be grabbing something off the shelf that's the equivalent of drinking 2/3 a bottle of cheap tequila for your first experiment.

>"At least talking to your friend when you're drunk can lead to some funny conversations. Conversations/socialization between people who smoked weed is just nothing."

This is a very individual experience which I don't think can be applied to everyone. I've listened to some pretty funny and interesting weed fueled conversations. I would much rather be the sober guy with some stoners than the sober guy with a bunch of drunk people. Like with any drug tho, there's often a line between happy and functional and wrecked.

At the end of the day tho, we can all choose which substance we want to partake in based on what we individual want or need. The danger is in using ones individual experience as the measuring bar for everyone else.
He didn’t say that.

We’re doing that thing where we make sharp turns into the weeds. “Yeah but…”

The person simply claimed that he was a historical influential person.

We’ve got another person complaining about America’s historical figures being “whitewashed “

How about we all be specific instead of making sweeping statements?
OP is making a dumb libertarian argument basically saying "there's nothing stopping people from doing what they want except the threat of force/violence" (which is trivially true, and the mechanism by which any group of people - even democratic societies - imposes their will on insiders or outsiders), and "do you really want to use THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE to prevent me from STARTING A BANK???" as if it's different from the enforcement of any law. OP questions the use of "should" uncharitably, because the original comment's unstated assumption is clear - society "should" be set up to tradeoff freedom and minimizing collective harm. Violence is not the only form of harm; unregulated banking can obviously cause harm in the society (starvation was pretty harmful in the US during the Great Depression), and so it's valid to question whether or not society should consider how the benefits of private banking (with any amount of regulation) trade off with a public alternative.
> If your moral code dictates what other people can or cannot do with their own lives

That's literally the point of law. One person writes the law, and it dictates what others can and can't do with their lives. Are you an anarchist? Or are you just not thinking clearly about what you are saying?

If thing X demonstrably causes major harm to individuals, then it is often in the purview of government to restrict adults from exposing minors to X.

I think the reals are also even: If x is rational pair it as you would in the rational case (which we assume is even - I haven't proven this). Otherwise pair it to -x, and thus the reals are even.

Being "even" seems like a much more interesting (and simpler) property of a set. I don't see what use there could be to know that you could pair things off, with one element left over. When you extend the notion you do have to decide what to preserve, but to me parity is much more about divisibility and symmetry than it is about reminader. I agree that it's arbitrary, though less arbitrary than the odd definition.
I've been using fountain pens to write for about 35 years now, and I have pens that range from about $30 to about $500. At any given time I have about 2-3 pens either on my desk or in my backpack.

The best value for money I've seen are the TWSBI pens. As writing instruments they are often more reliable than most of the pens I have that are more expensive. The production quality tends to be surprisingly consistent for a low cost pen. I have about 6-7 of these and I have only had one fail on me and that was because it got banged up in my backpack. These are good workhorses for people who take a lot of notes with generous size ink reservoirs.

The least reliable pens I own are usually in the $150-$200 range. A lot of these pens either have problems with inconsistent manufacturing or they are fragile or in some way. A lot of these manufacturers have considerably more expensive versions, but the uneven manufacturing quality means I would only consider buying these in a store so I can have them serviced/adjusted/fixed or return them if they can't justify the price tag.

I'm not really into expensive pens since I don't collect them to collect: I use them. Pens that aren't good writing instruments are of no use to me.

A surprise for me is a Mont Blanc pen I've had for 15 or so years. I got it as a gift and I had never even considered buying a Mont Blanc since it is a luxury brand. Mont Blanc fountain pens are overpriced, but at least the pen I has performed without a hitch for 15 years.

The best pen I own is a nondescript black fountain pen with a nib that has a really rough looking surface finish. It has no visible brand, which has made it hard to figure out what it is. I think it was made by a company that has since gone under. The nib works well for me and it has performed perfectly for about a decade.

I tend to buy Leuchtturm 1917 A5 notebooks since these work well with almost all of my pen/ink combinations plus they are a nice size and have stiff covers. I tried Moleskine, but they're just not very good notebooks. The paper is too flimsy for fountain pens.

Yeah, there's a reason every single society on Earth, across all cultures, will dish out some form of punishment for misbehavior, however they define it. Even in Sweden or other scandi countries where I am told murderers are rehabilitated instead of punished, if you drive at 300 km/hr through a residential neighborhood I'm certain they'll hit you with a massive fine at the very least.

Why is punishing misbehavior such a universal practice across all human cultures? Because it works. It never works perfectly but it does work generally.

Windows 11 virtualized on M Series is probably one of the snappiest Windows 11 experiences you'll probably get. I run it from time to time on my M1 Mac Mini and it is tolerable for when I need to use Windows.
Don't you have an experience that Chrome works better on old-end hardware? I have in an active use some 2005-2013 hardware and I describe Firefox as significant worse (freezes and consumes more memory per tab), I do not like Chrome but I use it because I use that hardware sometimes.

Another story is if computer has at least Haswell/8GB. Than Firefox unleashes its ability to work just fine even with a lot of extensions.
That paper is "retracted":
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197122...

IIUC it was retracted before the video was created. So that would be an example of "spreading misinformation" (assuming the ordering is as I think).

But further, this is a perfect example of why doctors on the internet shouldn't be making videos from single papers that don't actually say what you might think they say.

One of my favourite concepts in "late night" style comedy is when they test the censors by gradually incrementing something boring into something "unacceptable," whether it be language, the context of a sketch, or something graphic. And then once they've got the line they play with that line (eg. words/names that sound like "fuck", or Cecily Strong having sex with Bill Hader under a small throw).

One of the best ways to demonstrate how ridiculous and un-thinking this position is would be to do just that. If they "know it when they see it", just say "when!" as we systematically wax, outfit, camera angle, and contextualize this stereotypical, upper-endowed male football fan into a gorgeous female, who then slowly gets topless.

It would be scary if anyone was relying on it to make moral judgements after directly asking it to avoid morals.

>it picked lists from authoritarian and totalitarian playbooks

yes, because the question was literally asked in such a way that it would. this is like asking "what is the scientific evidence to support Christianity as being true?" and then being shocked when it starts quoting disreputable Christian-founded sources to support the argument.
Firefox VPN is great for beginners, but it assumes too much and isn't flexible enough for power users. I had to cancel it because "Allow LAN connections" didn't base itself off my local subnet, but on RFC1918. My network is in a private IPv4 net other than that, and I couldn't configure split-tunnel manually.

Proton VPN works wonders and I like their mail product too.
You'd think that Mozilla has an excess of funding and has covered absolutely all needs in the browser space leading them to branch out like this... but the browser really needs a lot more hands and funding, I honestly can't make sense of this.

And Fakespot: they present themselves as a company that focuses on detecting AI-generated content from human-generated content. It sounds like they've set out to play Whac-A-Mole against the all the biggest AI companies in the world. Literally all the largest tech companies in the world are right now focused on making AI content indistinguishable from human-generated content.

I can't help think that this is an infinite money sink, and in no way improves Mozilla's browser.
If banks are going to be private then the regulation of them needs to be the inverse of what it is now. Regulation now is: You can do anything you want except X,Y, and Z.

Is Grimes really known for her vocals though? She even said herself in an interview the only reason she decided to sing on her own songs was because she didn't feel right micromanaging someone else to do it the way she wanted (I'll try to track that interview down.)

Still, it's interesting. I think she has a unique voice so perhaps it'll be utilized. I generally like her music though and have a few of her albums.
> If you assume this to be correct, then there's no point in attempting to make your phone private. Privacy isn't possible without security.

You have it the other way around, security starts with privacy at its absolute minimum. If data is sent to a third party every time you tap something on the phone, you are using an insecure phone, regardless of what complex hardware they are using.

> But using a custom ROM doesn't necessarily mean you have to permanently unlock your bootloader, so that argument doesn't make sense.

True, depends on the phone though, some of them cannot be locked again and there's no way to completely fix those phones with a better ROM.

> I highly doubt Romulus and Remus were actually children raised by wolves that founded Rome, but that's what the history books will say.

This is a weird example to prove your point. There are absolutely no current historians seriously claiming Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus, and even contemporary Romans didn't really believe the story (sort of: Roman beliefs about their own history were a delicate balance of keeping a few different, mutually contradictory, ideas in mind simultaneously, but it's safe to say that a lot of them didn't think the story of Romulus and Remus was literally true).
Age 40 is the absolute limit. The Beatles were all 30 or less when they ended. Then 10 years to have some "me time".
