Yeah I'm less concerned about the brewer breaking under normal use, I imagine they've done due diligence there (though personally I would wait a year or so) but I'm more concerned if the mug shatters and then you have all this force shoving the brewer into the counter next is that enough to break it? Especially as the it hits a granite counter at a weird angle maybe with the flange or filter cap instead of the perfect circle of a mug on the normal mouth surface.

Confidence, too. You can be experienced and still not confident.

Also, and this is a thing I've experienced a lot, you can have really good intentions but there is some whole community that just blindsides you and beats the crap out of your work and tells you how stupid you are, to show how smart they are.

I have one (fairly anodyne) friend who works for a huge corporation who never gets tired of telling me that everything I build amounts to technical debt for my clients, because they hire a lone coder. That's the least harsh thing I experience in showing my code to other coders, most of the time.

Weirdly, Copilot is eerily good at replicating my coding style... even my idiosyncratic way of naming variables. But yeah, humans?
Not that I disagree with your use-case at all, it seems perfectly valid but…

I’ve owned Macs since 2006 and have never had to worry about driver issues once.

Come to think of it, I don’t really worry about the CPU either since M1.

iPads are not for me but I’m happy that they’re for someone else.

My point was that this is somewhat of new and exotic product, and interested parties should be mindful to ensure their exposure does not exceed insurance limits. While you might find a way to buy more of this CD than the bank permits through their limits, that doesn't necessarily mean you should.

> The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.

> The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories. Depositors may qualify for coverage over $250,000 if they have funds in different ownership categories and all FDIC requirements are met.

> All deposits that an accountholder has in the same ownership category at the same bank are added together and insured up to the standard insurance amount.
> Or is there some inherent ugliness that comes with affordable and popular things?

I would question both of these adjectives, where I live, "affordable" is sub-400'000 USD and "popular" is a 3-bedroom terraced house.
I would use expensive and extravagant instead.
I'm glad.

Students got a break. 2 years+ of 0 payments and 0 interest. I took advantage of it and finished paying off my loans. Some individuals I know were purchasing fun cars because the loans were getting "cancelled".

> Latency? Throughput? I, don't think SSDs are 1,000 times slower than RAM in either category, assuming fairly typical consumer machines, but I could be wrong.

Everything in this business is like a great big onion of caching and buffering layers. Disks have them too. This is why you often see consumer SSDs have very fast writes only as long as you don't write continuously. Continuous writes causes their internal buffers to fill up and the real write performance to be revealed.

There's also factors like write amplification and overprovisioning that enter into this set of equations. But if there's any takeaway from this, it's that I/O benchmarking is hell.
AI doomerism is the new religion. Unfalsifiable conjecture is the default response when dealing with these madmen. They’ll say things like it only needs to happen once, or that the AI is lying in wait, or that surely it will transform into a super entity if you just give it more data(tm).

Or they’ll claim that their prophets (AI experts) told them so as if expertise makes you an Oracle.

Let us not forgot the medical experts and their early covid advice.

Ridiculous.
Disappointingly little discussion in the article about the moral and ethical problems associated with the US military. If military service were simply about "defending freedom", I suspect there would not be a recruiting problem.

While it feels to me like US military service may exist for the purpose of "defending freedom", it's mostly utilized for defending and promoting the interests of the wealthy. As others have mentioned, this has been the case for a long time, but there is a far broader understanding of this now than in decades past.

Who wants to sign up to put their life, or the life of a loved one at risk for the purpose of making someone else wealthier? It's completely absurd.

Well, yeah -- anything involving text on iOS is far from optimal, so buying an iPad Pro for: email, blogging, creative writing, memo-writing for work, working in spreadsheets, document creation in general; is a mistake.

I read a commentary years back about Google's social efforts. The author blamed Google's failings on the author's assumption that no one at Google actually used their social products. For comparison, it's obvious that Google uses gmail throughout the company, and therefore has practical insight and inherent motivation to make it usable.

I've been saying for many years: I am 100% convinced there is no one at Apple who lives and works on an iPad (small caveat: without having it permanently tethered to a keyboard).

1. Text selection is awful: it takes an eon to select a word in text on iOS compared with double-clicking a word on Mac.

2. God help you if the insertion point is just a character or two away from where you need it: you either have to do the long-press on the keyboard, then carefully drag to correct it, or tap somewhere else completely and then tap where you want it.

3. If iOS thinks it knows where you want the insertion point, it thinks it knows better than you where the insertion point should go. See (2).

4. Selecting large amounts of text is a huge pain.

5. The touch keyboard just isn't viable for use at scale.

I could go on, but it's just a rant and no one at Apple is reading this, so I'll stop there. Apple, if you do happen to read this and want to fix this, hire me!
Yes, though in the case I am most familiar with, making the payment was a big deal because the hackers were in a sanctioned nation, which makes sending payments there illegal. If I recall correctly they went through some intermediary but still made the ransom payment. Which goes against all of the annual import/export corpo training, but I guess they found a loophole.
Not just their security, their backup policies too, right? Ransomware is completely powerless if you can delete and restore. You'd think investing in backup systems, policies, training, monitoring, which is best practice anyway, is cheaper than the horrible PR and costs of these ransoms.

It is a me problem, that's true. But the widespread racism and conspiracy nonsense is an everybody problem.
As a Christian I appreciate the bulk of this perspective. We can disagree (and probably do) about a lot of things all day long, but the second either of us attempts to coerce the other into doing something under threat of law (force) the line has been crossed.
Honestly, my feed is so full of rubbish, clickbait thumbnails and misinformation that I really can't even believe it's a Google product. It's just so polluted.

It's really come to the stage where I actually "hope" the search helps me find what I'm looking for, the sea of bullshit on YT is vast and difficult to navigate now.

For a time, I would say I was quite addicted to YouTube, but now I'm so turned off by it and I find that it is mostly full of really low grade content. I hardly even think to look the front page it unless I'm looking for something very specific. I treat it like a bank job now, race in, get what I need then straight back to the get away.

Personally, I feel similar to you, if they force me off it with Ads, good. I had though about paying but the smut they suggest I watch is just a turn off.
I still like him, but yeah, that's a totally fair take :) Will look into some of your suggestions, thanks.
> when people didn't have always online high speed connectivity

Or any connectivity at all! Back then, it was not unusual for Linux distributions (which came in CDs) to have both one or more "binaries" CDs and one or more "sources" CDs. One distribution which kept that tradition is Debian: you can download at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/ a complete set of 19 DVDs containing the source code for all packages, and at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dvd... metadata to create a complete set of 21 DVDs containing all the binary packages for the x86-64 architecture.
I was happy to see it as a long time customer who checked my email in the last half hour successfully. If this becomes a problem for me, I’ll chime in. But Fastmail is one of the easiest decisions I’ve made, and is consistently reliable. I think HN commenters are basically the company’s target demo, and we’re very happy with the service.

If the service starts to regularly degrade, I’m sure you’ll see the comments swing the other way in the future, but unlike AWS outages which are poorly reported by AWS and seemingly a regular occurrence, FastMail having one outage isn’t worth canceling over. If someone has a clearly better provider that’s easy to switch to, I’m not opposed to hearing about it though.
They were losing the battle for the design software market, so they bought the competition. The less innovative company bought the more innovative company. Of course it would reduce innovation.
My main worry is that someone might register a trademark for that name and cause all sorts of issues for me. Worst case scenario I could just rename the project, but my mind goes to the time when Firefox browser, at the time Phoenix Browser and firebird browser, kept bullying other open source projects and it was only their trademarks that kept them from needing to change their branding.

https://lunduke.substack.com/p/why-is-firefox-called-firefox

Thing is, idk how often this stuff happens and if it is something I need to reasonably be worried about especially since another non-trademarked piece of software has that name already
I've used a lot of Android tablets, low end to high, and developed software for them. They're awful. Crashy, glitchy, bad battery life. I don't think we'll see a true iPad competitor until/unless a new OS enters the market—Android's had a long time to get its shit together, and evidently just can't. Wish someone would give it a shot, because I'd love to see that market better-served.

I'd argue that this is a really good real estate photo. It tells you what your next-door neighbors are like.
The problem is that there isn't a legal framework for "things tied specifically to LGBTQ" and "things that aren't".

So the hill-being-died-upon isn't the cake or website, but the more general distinction of whether anybody can just make up a reason to discriminate. In this particular case, they went out of their way to fabricate an instance, specifically for the purpose of drawing a distinction where previously there was none -- with the intention of expanding that distinction.

That is, of course, a slippery slope argument, except for the fact that it is a conspicuous and deliberate plan to head down that slope. The Court could, theoretically, interrupt that descent. But this decision is a signal that they will not.

And yes, that's precisely going backwards on things that actually matter. It sends signals that the courts will also back all of the crap going on in Florida, using similar reasoning.
Still not free-riding when you consider the data they are collecting from viewers even with ad-blockers. People still have accounts to save channels/videos, lots of people or households have Android phones that makes it stupidly easy to link to people, places and purchases. There is significantly more value they still gain from it even if youtube itself operates at a loss.

Maybe if they weren't allowed to collect so much information, or had to pay back the users they are collecting data on could I see the point that ad-blocking is free-riding.
> I know there are a lot of people that are going to disagree with me here, but as a gay man I strongly despise all of this crap around cakes, websites, or whatever.

> We are not talking about someone serving us at a restaurant or other things that have nothing to do with our sexuality.

> Making a thing for a wedding is tied specifically to being LGBTQ. You can't ignore it while working on the service.

> I just don't understand why we decided that we need to try to force people to make things for us when there are plenty of people (including those within our own community) which will happily do it. Do you really want someone to make something they don't want to make? The quality is not going to be as good. I would much rather someone just say they don't want to do it.

Another "as a gay man" here, I fully agree. I also don't want to support them if they don't want to do the job. I'd rather take my money elsewhere to someone at least ambivalent enough to my sexual orientation / politics to not care that it's M+M rather than M+F.

I've had people make snide remarks of my sexuality before surrounding big decisions, and they basically made my mind up for me with them. (Ex: Car dealer trying to push me to a Prius on the lot because "your kind like them." I just left that dealership and shopped elsewhere.)
AI art challenges meaning in a world of illusion
You would need most of the people. One high level person is meaningless. Sure you can say "Dave" knows everything, but any smart company knows Dave could retire, or die at anytime and so the important stuff he knows is spread among a bunch of other people. Often it is also written down, just not in an easy format.

The licensing would need to be exclusive and long term, otherwise the big tech companies would've (and should've) feared the risks of being deeply integrated and dependent on a third party.

Google would never have allowed a third party to use search results as training data, for example. Shazam might've had more flexibility unless Apple wanted to link it with customer data.

Exclusive long term licensing is effectively acquisition by another name.
Yeah, that's true. Raw speeds don't really mean a whole lot without more context, and in practice writing to disk is going to be a lot slower even if the peak throughputs are not quite that far off. The performance characteristics are quite different in practice. I assume at one point in history though, these numbers were closer to true even for raw throughput... PCIe and NVMe have probably helped close the gap a bit, I would guess.

It's weird, I feel like the people who refuse to use YouTube with an account are the same people who insist all the content is garbage. I use it logged in and ~70% of my recommendations are math videos or other things I would like. When I see something I don't want to watch, I just select "not interested" and I feel like it immediately improves my reccommendations. This way I see maybe one reactionary/misogynist/conspiracy video every two months, and I just don't watch it and say I'm not interested.
Cancer can take 50 years to develop. Aspartame is from the 80s, so maybe we’d only now be noticing the beginning of the wave of cancers, assuming our ability to notice is not limited, which I think the pandemic should make you wonder about. And how many other things started in the 80s. Cigarettes were relatively easy to notice, but even great minds like Fischer couldn’t see it. A 50 year lag makes a lot of things hard to notice.
Usually because a buyer isn’t lined up until the house is half completed. You could always get a builder to do a custom home, but most developers start their projects before the houses are sold, and most buyers are afraid to buy a house that hasn’t been started at all (unless asking for a custom job).
> It won't be exposed in full easily though as criminals with access to it currently work to prevent anyone from doing so.

Do you have evidence or links to articles supporting this?
They do what works, if using the same accounts works they will do it. If they can use new accounts they will do it. On fb, reddit, twitter, google etc they gradually develop accounts sometimes over years. If those are detected by the tens of thousands it would drive up prices.

Technically taking advantage of it would have been setting that same money aside monthly into safe investments, then cashing it out and paying it off once interest begins accruing again.
Absolutely not. Read “the chip wars”. It does a good deep dive into the relationships of all of these companies.

TSMC is amazing but they didn’t invent nor build the EUV lithography machines that enable their processes.
How are they user hostile? It's people who do not want to pay for the service and do not want to watch ads to use the service who are the problem. How else should Youtube make money from those users? They must literally lose money on those users.
"Need to" is doing a lot of work here; do they really need to, or are they just hungry for countless more low-tax billions (i.e. want to)?

These discussions have never been about fairness, it’s about special interest groups getting what they want.

Believe it or not, but American universities have never been about simply taking the highest scorers. They want their graduates to be among the elite in all areas, which inherently requires representation from all relevant backgrounds.

If you want elite artists it doesn’t serve that interest necessarily to pick a mediocre artist with a perfect SAT vs award winning high school artist with mediocre grades.

Lmao. I'm in the US, and I'm waiting to see a doctor because the earliest someone could see me was 2 months is away (and that was checking across several nearby towns, not being picky about one particular doctor's schedule).

At some point I just asked myself if avoiding Windows was worth all the tradeoffs. Windows is still completely clunky and ugly, to be honest I feel I exchanged polish and elegance for actual power.

Staying so long on the iPad, it felt really weird when I needed to test on firefox...and I can just run firefox. No need to VNC other some other desktop or use Browserstack style services, "it just works" to borrow the expression.
I’m glad affirmative action was shot down. I hope legacy goes away too.

While legacy admissions might not be a judicial issue, what about legislation that says no federal funding will be provided to institutions who use special standards for legacy applicants?

If you are a private institution and want these programs, that is your legal right (since it likely does not cross legal lines around protected classes), but the taxpayer shouldn’t subsidize it.
Exactly this. The prevalence of cancer in my family is pushing 100%. However, the onset is almost always in the mid/upper 80s to early 90s. So it's not really that cancer is a problem for my family as much as it seems like living long enough to get killed by it is.
It’s a straw man. Nobody is saying they don’t have the right to stop serving content to people who block ads.

Will there be plenty of options in the future, though, now that discrimination is legalized?
This is absolutely right, and why their new dev tools feature add an additional $25 per seat to use.

Even though I would rather pay less — if the integration between a Design System and Github is clean enough it might be worth it for my DSM team? It's real value. It's also why they launched Figjam — which has gotten Miro off of my balance sheet.

I want Figma to scale up and be the anti-Adobe. Financial balance of Figma aside - this acquisition kinda sucks.
