The problem is that all of these feeds are huge and not relevant to my interest. For example I live in Toronto but the first 5 items in the CBC Toronto are not interesting to me. For example I see "It's like smoke on your wedding day — How the wedding industry is working around wildfires ". I couldn't give two hoots about people working around some smoke on their wedding. The General News category doesn't do much better.

The category of each individual item doesn't help filtering, most of them are just labeled News/Canada/Toronto.

I love RSS but I don't find these news company feeds compelling. They just pump out too much junk to fill the void of real news.

However I would definitely click through links to their site when searching for news about specific events. But they have shot themselves in the foot. Now I am just going to be directed to US sources instead.
The problem with brokers is that they can charge 1-2 months rent. That means you can easily be left with a 8k bill for moving into a new apartment.

The job literally could not exist anywhere else because no one would pay it. But they aren't making any more land in Manhattan and they aren't building subway lines quick enough so landlords get to pass that expense off to tenants
That depends very much on the country. In places like Japan or Singapore, it would be next to impossible for an average Joe to acquire an illegal firearm, unless they're willing to smuggle it in from overseas themselves.
> To say that alcohol distills down to being able to socialize doesn’t fit. Socializing is not hard. Are you at a party? Approach people you don’t know the way you want to be approached. Wear a sincere smile, give some distance, give your name, ask them who they know at the party, respond with who you know.

YMMV. If you have real social anxiety, the above is just about impossible. People who haven't experienced it just don't know. It's extremely difficult to understand if you haven't been there. Normal shyness is a different animal. It's sort of like depression. Although people may think you should just snap out of it, you can't.

And alcohol definitely can help. Believe me, I know. My life was pretty much dominated by social anxiety in my college years and 20's. Gradually it's gotten much better. I never drank a lot, but in those social situations where my self-consciousness made it pretty much impossible to do as you suggest, having some alcohol really made a positive difference. (This was long ago, I'm 67 now.)

I don't recommend using it that way if you also have any other characteristics that could turn you into an alcoholic, because it's possible you'll stop using it and it will start using you. It's dangerous. It can destroy your life. But for me, in specific situations when I needed some help in order to be less self-conscious and more out there, it did help. (Therapy pretty much didn't, for me, but in recent years, meditation does.)

Here are a couple of things to consider, to help you determine if you should buy $APPL or not:

* Do you think the stock is currently undervalued? If yes, at what price would you consider it to be fairly valued? Overvalued?

* Can you afford to lose the money?

* Is there another investment opportunity that offers a better risk/reward ratio?

It doesn't matter if you are correct in your assessment of Apple's continued dominance of their market if most investors agree with you, because then that assessment is already baked into the price of the stock. The only way to beat market is to take a contrarian position and be right.

If your goal is not to beat the market, then you should probably not be picking individual stocks.

People need to stop hoping for good crowd sourced reviews and ratings. Even if the platform would have the best interests it can't be done. Two simple reasons:

1. Ratings: you can not compress information down to 1 byte without losing almost all of it. I've been a professional game reviewer in another life. I used to give ratings because I was forced to by the site format. When I retired from that I looked back at tens of games I rated. The scores made absolutely no sense any way you tried to look at them. Not compared to each other, not compared to what the game set out to achieve (one way I tried to grade them as objective as possible), nothing. It can not be done.

2. By definition half of the reviews/ratings are being given by stupider than average people. How are you supposed to draw any conclusion when half of the data is garbage?

Only one thing crowd sourced ratings are useful for: helping the platform become a gatekeeper and then squeezing the reviewed.
At least AMD kept AVX-512 in there small Zen4C cores and just sacrificed some cache instead. I have to wonder if it was intel marketing that killed off working AVX-512 in consumer P-cores after they were released because the E-cores just become dead weight with AVX-512 enabled.
It's unclear what the advantages of borosilicate are from this discussion. Is it merely the lightness? Either-or would seem to solve the problem of microplastic release on microwaving.

For me, I like it better than my own list because I was spending unnecessary time finding and organizing books. So I like having the spelling and year right and just list management of want to read, reading, read. I did it in a google sheet, but now I spend less time using it.

I also like that I can add friends and see what they read. There’s no chance that I’ll open my aunt’s book list sheet once a week to see what’s changed but I would love to see her reading in my feed along with my other friends.
If there are any large funds going long on AAPL due to Vision Pro then it might be wise to short on them.
Commuter rail from N. Leominster to Porter is 24.50 round-trip + $4 for parking + ~$5 round-trip for the T. That's still cheaper than driving in for a day which would be about $50 round trip using IRS rates plus parking which could easily be $30+. (I'll drive in the evening or weekend when driving/parking are easier/quicker and the commuter rail really isn't very practical for an evening event.)

The second best looking alternative seems AsciiDoc. It has some more tooling as I see it.

But really like the .org syntax best so far. So any recommendations for tooling?

Oh it's worse than that.

Unlike steel, cast iron generates dust when abraded. Dust that is really bad for you. Known to cause lung issues, etc.

I machine it all the time (both ductile and non). It is usually is machined dry with vacuum because it will clog coolant systems. It basically turns into a horrible mud when mixed with coolant or water
I happen to filter the coolant system so i can machine it wet, but that's not all - i also run a dust extractor to avoid these issues.

Cast iron is popular, but i've seen no science that suggests it should be used. There is no evidence i've seen that it's particularly better at anything, none of the "seasoning" thing is a real rust protectant for
either cast iron or steel (and steel will usually rust slower), though it is non stick in the same sense that things are harder to stick to burned things :)

Steel won't generate the same kind of horrible dust when you abrade through the seasoning.

I don't season anything though - if i want to protect something from rust i dry it. If seasoning was a super good rust protectant we'd use it as one in other cases.

If i want something to be non-stick i spray a light coat of oil on it.

Most of Apple's revenue still comes from products developed before Cook became CEO: https://i0.wp.com/sixcolors.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/f...

Note that "Services" revenue includes App Store and AppleCare, among other various items (I think also Google's search deal with Safari).

It's very easy to score if you start running halfway between 3rd base and home plate.

The other thing is that "wearables" wouldn't be nearly as successful without the preexisting Apple ecosystem of iPhone and Mac. There's a reason Apple removed the headphone jack from iPhone, and it wasn't "courage", it was "cash". ;-)

In my opinion, if anything, what makes these pictures less than ideal is the property itself which has nothing to do with the real estate agent. It's actually a net positive for potential buyers seeing all aspect of the object - what else should the agent do, hide unfortunate corners? Right, like anyone who actually cares to go and look at the property before buying it (so almost everyone) would not see these things anyway at inspection time.

What I am used to in the area I currently live in, is much, much worse - and actual incompetence on the side of the agent. And what's worse, you see it all the time! Here are a few highlights:

- A total of five pictures for the property, all of which are of the outside, none of the rooms.

- Blurry pictures as if someone first had to learn not to move the camera in the middle of taking a shot.

- Severely tilted pictures, as if taken on a boat.

- Three pictures of some door (the same door each time, mind you)

- ...

You might think this is a joke, and I wish it was. Unfortunately, though, this kind of thing is commonly found on real estate websites where I live. I don't know how anyone can ever get traction - I guess it must be a seller's market.
Ok I’ll rephrase: We software engineers tried to buy/sell houses using algorithms, and failed to the tune of $550m. I think we collectively would have similar success (or lack thereof) as actual real estate agents.

Wide angle HDR photos of listings should be outlawed.
But, to push it a bit further: how does Haskell deal with [1, 2] + ["a", {"x": 1}]? I think it can only do that if it knows the type of both. In Python, you don't declare those types. It's just an array. The result is just another array. It's as if the arguments to the operator get cast to [Any], where Any is the union of all possible types, which is then also the result type.

Or, if you want to look at it in another way: every function, class member and variable is super-hyper-extra-polymorphic, with the types limited by one or two sanity checks at runtime for a handful of operations that happen to apply to them. If my f() would avoid the addition operator sometimes, e.g. like this:

def f(x, y):
if somepredicate(x):
return y
return x + y

then y can be anything when somepredicate(x) is true, and the type of f might not even be computable. The type of f certainly would never be verified by Python beyond "is it a function of two arguments".

It may not be weak, but I'm not sure calling it "strong typing" makes sense.
Not super common, but again that would be more an "antiques market" or similar (e.g. see Alfies Antiques Market in Marylebone, London) rather than a flea. It's not really that they don't exist, just that the catchall term isn't commonly applied.

Incidentally I now live in Sweden where Loppis (literally "flea") markets are common and delightful. Some are all year around affairs while others just pop up at the weekends in the countryside summer months as the population sweeps out of the cities for their summer vacations. I love poking around through other peoples' crap!

One last thought - my family used to swing by an antiques auction in Tring in Hertfordshire (the county this cannon was discovered in). Over the years a variety of bits and pieces were acquired there - some rather nice. After my parents died they did the house clearance for us. Dust to dust...

>Massive is like Airbnb or Turo for your computer. Rather than letting you share your home or vehicle when you’re not using them, Massive lets you share any unused computing resources you have. In exchange, app developers give you access to their premium features.

This doesn't have security concerns, not at all, nope

>Massive combines the small amounts of resources contributed by users like you into a supercomputer that funds app features by mining cryptocurrency, decentralizing blockchain infrastructure, running scientific simulations, and performing general distributed tasks.

Yea so it's totally just going to be abused to crpytomine 24/7 on your hardware

>Massive doesn’t develop consumer apps but has partnered with many developers who offer to let you upgrade with Massive in their apps. Depending on your geolocation, you’ll get such offers in apps like Boom 3D for Windows and Digg Desktop.

....Yea this is basically malware and botnetting. There is 10000% perverse incentive for those "apps" to trick users into the botnet

You seem to just acknowledge the author's point that Apple's marketing is false.

Yet you shame if him for not knowing it. Seems like this article is useful for people still thinking of this.

> So what could Goodreads do differently?

Add a way to see ratings only from trusted people and friends.

They do this now by bubbling up ratings from my contact. Id like an option to just show their average ratings instead of site wide.

I do not trust any moderators that I don’t know. So I’d rather have them just show ratings from friends or people I’ve noted as reviewworthy. And maybe one degree from them.

I think this applies to everything and I don’t trust Amazon reviews or App Store reviews, but do trust reviews from some people I know (after I’ve filtered out the “I love everything including AntMan3 and StarWars9 and Justice League” friends).
I guess we'll all find out in 30 years from now.
It's so sad. NatGeo started stumbling in the late 1990's/early 2000's. I had the same experience as the author... stacks of magazines in the basement... getting lost exploring the world. In elementary school we had extra stacks we could use to cut out pictures for projects.
Jobs was a lot more charismatic and had a much more massive presence on the stage and in the public eye, which goes a long way. He was also much more of a product guy, and I think more people can resonate with that better than they can with Cook as a logistics guy.

Ah, is it once again time to calculate the value of my worst investment ever, a second-generation iPod 10GB...

You see, as a student I had a bit of Apple stock bought sometime around 2001. The next year I sold those shares for a tidy 50% profit (so I thought!) and spent all the money on a brand new iPod. Only 500 euros for thousands of songs in your pocket and blazing FireWire upload speeds, amazing!

At roughly 600x appreciation accounting for stock splits, looks like those shares would be worth over $300k today.
There are two recommendations systems in Goodreads. One is the official, I agree it is completely broken. The other is "Readers also enjoyed" section on each book page and this one is very good.

To me, the optimal outcome would have been a foundation overseeing the creation of a CentOS Stream derivative. Something that, in a unicorn-and-rainbows world, even Red Hat could join as mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Sharing the work and then competing on the services. However, based on this very blog post I have doubt that this is the idea of the money-making arm of the rebuilders.
Piling on, because not taking internet strangers' advice is good advice itself, but I was told one "buy what you use." If you like Apple and their products and believe in the company, own part of it. This isn't good advice in a silo, because it doesn't make a full portfolio, but I have stuck to it since I started investing and it's been generally good advice.
