Honestly, MOST redesigns.

Almost every website that is in any way successful from Airbnb to Uber to Facebook to Google Maps has gone through dozens of redesigns, and each time the site grew and grew and grew.

The biggest issue for Apollo was the lack of time to implement anything. There’s no way to know what the cost will be ahead of time, or the impact of changing to a subscription service on the user base. Those that stay to pay are likely the heaviest users, so it would skew any stats that he had and make it impossible to know how much to charge. No grace period meant he’d have a bill to pay immediately and no way to know if he could pay it. When he asked for a transition period they ghosted him and then started defaming him. I don’t blame him for just cutting the cord.
That's fine. As long as you understand why other people might not find email lists to be the peak user experience.
I don't understand why this was ever a thing when there's perfectly good water that exists like everywhere already doing a very good job of cooling things.

Everyone talks about leaks.... but that is a problem that can be solved especially with mass production. You could even have coaxial connectors where the water lines are completely inside of negative pressure line, with computer monitoring for everything, and it could probably be made almost as easy to connect as USB, and almost impossible to mess up because the system would leak test with air before it activates water.
That doesn't make these memos not interesting. Quite the contrary!

I never watched the finale as the penultimate episode violated my sense of right and wrong on a profound level. You do not have the keys to reality and make a decision on behalf of all humanity to consign us to a virtual reality with only suicide as the way out. The real world is important. Real struggle against, and with, reality, nature and not just our fellow humans.

As someone else wrote on Reddit back then, the show's ending is profoundly nihilistic.

This is one of the reasons I've never got really into programming. It was fun dabbling in intro courses, but I went into the sciences (specifically biology) to discover the natural world, not a human generated system.

> The ethos of the internet is that it's a place where you can say whatever you want

According to whom? There are plenty of ways that has never been the case. In historical terms, its precedent was in enabling covert comms across large distances. In cultural terms, arguably its ethos is to facilitate the operation of the economy. In technical terms, its ethos is the segmentation and transmission of data. Insofar as you can even reasonably ascribe an "ethos" to machinery, in what avenue do you see this ethos of extreme freedom of speech? Because it sounds like you're saying a promise was broken that was never made.
This is hilarious. So if you argue with an LLM it might start arguing back, even if you're correct and the LLM is incorrect.

The vast majority of people on that subreddit would too. They don't regret their kids, they regret the life of parenting that they got into, often without knowing that they were really in for or even worse, as part of an manipulate/abusive relationship or because of societal pressure.

That's my guess. I think a lot of people signed up to finish whatever they were in the middle of watching when they were suddenly cut off. Maybe this will even work out for them in the long term, but in terms of customer growth it's also a trick that only works once.

If one talked about illegal download, z library and pdf drive in the past can provide you unlimited academic books. Sadly both gone. I would not have read about quantum field theory … not that I have no access to u library. But you need to surf those books to find one you can “understand” before you dig in. Even buy one as reading read book is so much better.
The term 'reproducible' in 'reproducible build' (https://reproducible-builds.org/) conveys "bit-for-bit identical output". -- The benefit of that is security; others can compile the same sources and check that they get the same binaries.

But more generally, 'reproduce' just means 'create the same thing again'.

Nix uses "reproducible" in a more general sense: you provide the same inputs, and you'll get a program which behaves the same way, regardless of whether you compiled from source or downloaded binaries from a cache.

IMO, I think "reproducible build" is enough to unambiguously refer to the former. But, if you can think of a nicer word for "you get the same behavior from the same inputs" than "reproducible", it would be worth suggesting.

>Reddit knows that if all the malcontents (From their point of view) leave they will be replaced by newer content creators/community participants who either don't know the story or don't care.

Do they?

What if the demographics of the malcontents and newer content creators is different?

I'm not completely sure, but I think that the malcontents are the people who are noticing what is going on; while the potential newer content creators are the people who lack such an insight. If this idea is correct, then the malcontents leaving is effectively a brain drain.
I don't know what Barnes & Noble carries in stores or what dictionaries are printed now. Paper dictionaries have limited space for obvious reasons. The paper dictionary that ignored those restrictions, the Oxford English Dictionary OED, was 20+ volumes.

Now most dictionaries are online like encylopedias, again for obvious reasons, and the leading ones at least have etymologies:

The OED is the definitive historical dictionary of English, including its etymologies. Unfortunately it's not free, but you might be a member of an institution that subscribes.

https://www.oed.com/

The leading American dictionaries are Merriam-Webster, which has a free edition and a subscription-based unabridged edition (Merriam-Webster now is owned by Britannica, which was American last I knew), and American Heritage, which is free and which has a section on Indo-European and Semitic roots of words.

You surely have air egress in your bathroom and kitchen fan? Modern apartments usually have these on low speed all the time, creating a flow from the rest of the intakes in other rooms.
See Larry McEnerney’s lecture The Craft of Writing Effectively:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM

Essentially, students are, from the time they start school until they graduate, taught to write to an audience – teachers – who are both:

1. Paid to read it, and have no real possibility to stop reading because they get bored (teachers will read anything from beginning to end).

2. Looking for, in the writing, evidence that the student has learned the information.

Neither of those two things are true of the rest of the world, when they are reading a book or an article by an aspiring professional writer. Therefore, writing to such an audience will require new skills which most people have never practiced.

For the lazy, the quote is this: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. — and Burke didn't say it. (Did Burke say anything in 15 words?) Apparently we have JFK to blame for everyone thinking he did: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/12/04/good-men-do/.

I love these sequences. The basic quote is known to have been said by Reverend Charles F. Aked (yup) in a sermon against alcohol (yes) in 1916. Then in 1920, Sir R. Murray Hyslop (that's right) attributed it to Burke. That clearly clicked, because we're all still repeating it.

Burke did say this in 1770:

No man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united Cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

WTF? But then John Stuart Mill said this in 1867:

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Come on, that's obviously the quote. But how did it get from Mill to Reverend Aked? Surely not directly, because this is the passage from his sermon:

“The people in the liquor traffic,” said the speaker, “simply want us to do nothing. That’s all the devil wants of the son of God—to be let alone. That is all that the criminal wants of the law—to be let alone. The sin of doing nothing is the deadliest of all the seven sins. It has been said that for evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing.”

... and in my experience that sort of preacher doesn't read Mill.

But why did Sir Murray say it was Burke? It turns out he was a temperance crusader too—but also an Englishman. I bet he stuck it to Burke because he couldn't bear to cite the American Reverend.

(I took all this from https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/12/04/good-men-do/, which is the same URL I mentioned earlier.)

Well, TIL. Interesting that I had so many hours of Canadian history yet this particular angle didn’t stick with me. I recall a framing of the constitution act as a quintessentially Canadian “we asked politely for independence, and Britain said okay”, but after some reading it does seem your “let’s get out of here, the neighbors are psycho” framing also holds water ;) I suppose both are true.

Yes but one of the most common desires is that you want your children to have a better childhood and life than yourself. Some people don't care or don't explicitly make the choice to get children, they just get them. But some people won't get children if they can't provide an environment that is at least as good as the one their parents provided to them.
Battle rifle implies a full powered cartridge such as 7.62 NATO. Assault rifle implies an intermediate cartridge such as 5.56 NATO. Intermediate cartridges have lower energy than full powered cartridges.

Barrel length is important to velocity up to a point, but you can also tune other parts of the system to increase velocity out of shorter barrels (M855A1). However, that is far from the only consideration when discussing the ballistics of a cartridge. Projectile mass determines how stable the projectile is. The 5.56 projectile tumbles and cavitates when hitting soft tissue due to its low mass. However, that also means obstructions like foliage can cause it to destabilize in-flight and it is less effective at barrier penetration.
both China and the Soviet Union were supporting North Vietnam at the same time - up until 1968 (when they had this war over an island). The Sino Soviet split happened much earlier, in 1961.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_in_the_Vietnam_War

The great friendship between China and the USA started after that border conflict in 1968, as China was looking for a counterweight.

There's a kind of musical chairs or hot potato game being played with online trust. Nobody wants to pay to post; nobody wants to pay for moderation; nobody wants to moderate uncompensated for a long period; and nobody wants to stay somewhere that's unmoderated(even if the moderation is a bare minimum no-spambots rule.)

The reason why the internet was functioning on trust was because it had economic arrangements powering it in a more invisible sense: the market demand was for more access to content, not higher quality of content. But we're really facing down the final conclusion of that with AI-generated spam. It can be encoded as hours of 8k video with the photorealistic likenesses of multiple celebrities, your spouse, parents and children all speaking to you: it will still be spam. Either the content has some kind of market price or carrying cost on it or we are willing to be elaborately lied to forever.

This isn't even a new issue to economics - the transition from free to regulated markets tends to be precipitated on the demand side by a desire for quality(safe food, air, water etc.) even if the regulation itself is ineffectual.

Blockchains are expensive in terms of data quantity, but they do get at certain parts of the issue; someone who elects to post content through one is signalling way above the noise floor, and it's only biased in that it self-selects to people who own some of that token(which does not necessarily lead to a one-to-rule-them-all billionaire's dystopia - precisely the opposite, it's relatively easy in a technical sense to spin up a small and short-lived chain and hand out some free tokens if you only need a little bit of security for a limited period of time, but that's not a framing we've normalized).
Consumption is not just buying things. And even in buying things, many so-called minimalists still buy a lot, maybe less in tonnage, but GDP-wise they still spend a lot of money.

Of course, there are zen style minimalists. But many seem to be in it for aesthetic.
More than a few OSS hackers eventually want some devices that "just work", especially in the stage of their career where they have more money than time. This is Apple's primary value proposition.

That is, other than the second of its two sentences, which reads “In fact, I think that sometimes, companies consider high pay, a license to humiliate.” What do you suggest that means?
