Interesting thought, but doesn't Spotify get my same monthly membership fee, whether I play 1 track or 1,000?

Although, I suppose this line of thinking makes sense for ad-supported streaming, which is likely used by the majority of users.
Ah, did not notice. Can't edit post but added a comment and credited you.

Now wait for the Electrical Companies to change the reset month to Nov. Then you have to pay Nov, Dec, Jan bill and get credits for summer months. Only for them to get reset again in Nov. An MBA will be made partner for this suggestion.
> But what are those aspects, exactly?

If I was to encapsulate it in one word: pressure. Or insecurity. Pressure to work, pressure to make "sound" financial decisions, of which committing to a dependent is not "sound".
I think the bigger point isn’t mentioned but you can guess it by the medium: the author seems to want to do some sort of security analysis which requires them to hook various stages with precise semantics, and most of the API was probably designed around providing autocomplete or basic code intelligence. Not entirely sure that the only solution here is to throw out these representations rather than have them match reality a bit more closely if you ask for it, but I guess this works too.
There's nothing 'average' about using 200 kWh/day in the US. Where I live in the US, the average temperature (not the high!) is in the upper 80s right now. My home is not large by US standards, but it is old and not nearly as well insulated as a newer home. The A/C runs continuously for hours on end each day, and right now we are using 35-40 kWh/day.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure most of that 200 kWh/day is going to charge the car.
Its feature of making windowed mode synced at the same low-lag way as windowed-fullscreen is recent. It was added a few years ago to Windows 10.
You've lost a lot of the nuance which is part of the complexity. Assange released emails stolen from the DNC and given to him by Russian intelligence. He also made the decision not to publish data from similar attacks on the RNC. By doing so, he either should have known or for sure did know that he was acting in the interest of Russia to interfere in American elections.
They clearly did read it. And the actual report, which is the thing that really matters.

You clearly have not, on the other hand. Nor do you have the most basic understanding of the purpose of HSR, which you wouldn’t even need to read the report to know.

It’s ok to say “I’m wrong”, you know.

> Let me ask you a different question, since you brought up air travel; what sort of ticket/buyer do you think accounts for the bulk of domestic airlines' revenues?

It sure isn’t commuting if that’s what you’re getting at.

https://www.ustravel.org/system/files/media_root/document/Re... -> “Leisure travel accounted for over 80% of domestic travel”

https://www.statista.com/statistics/539518/us-air-passengers... -> majority personal/leisure

But please, tell me exactly how commuters somehow are the primary users of both air travel and HSR.
^^^ This. A declining population is good for humanity in terms of reducing climate change (among other environmental impacts), addressing resource scarcity, preventing war/disease/famine, and encouraging states to invest more in their people (which benefits democracy/freedom).

I think the reasons depopulation is generally depicted as a bad thing are: (1) if it happens too quickly then your society doesn't have enough young people working to support the old, (2) capitalism--the most effective economic engine we know of--works best with a growing population, and (3) states derive geopolitical advantage from having large populations.
The median age gap for a first marriage in the USA has been ~2 years since at least the 1950s (though the ages themselves have gone up) [1]. It was higher in 1890 than it is today.

It's very interesting how different people's definition of "chat" is. The comment above yours (at the time of reading this) says "Chat without history is such a waste", so the opposite of what you are saying.

I think when I was a teenager, I did a lot of chatting online in the sense you are talking about, and I didn't really care about the backlog. But nowadays, there's no room for "chat without log" because it's way too involved. I don't do synchronous chatting anymore at all, basically. After reading your comment, it seems like "chat" in general is just not for me anymore. Asynchronous messaging, however, still has a big part in my life.

As a foreigner with kids growing up in the US, this crazy bias toward critical-everything in the US education system makes me worried that my kids will be indoctrinated in some weird speculative theory instead of educated in normal fields in a focused and rational manner. It leaves me wondering if I shouldn't send them abroad to some school system that has remained sane.

Yes, Bjarne wants Unified Function Call Syntax, he has wanted UFCS since at least the 1990s, years prior to C++ 98 but was not able to get WG21 to standardize it, not least because there are a bunch of tricky questions you need to answer to add UFCS and Bjarne's answers are... not the ones everybody else prefers.

The paragraph you're citing is from C++ proposal P1962, in 2019 - it's Bjarne basically arguing, as usual, that he should get his way and blaming the committee for the resulting problems. In that section Bjarne says that OK, he has just spent an entire paper telling people that they shouldn't have the certainty they do, but why defer to him, surely he can be wrong too? This is the sole example from that text where he admits to any mistake, over 25 years ago, and he blames everybody else for the mistake anyway saying it was "fashionable" to do this even though he pointed out the problems.

We should distinguish between problems which actually aren't fixable and problems which it was decided not to fix, I don't see a lot of the former in C++, but I do see a lot of the latter. And decisions can be changed.
> And it just so happens that all local accounts in a Mastodon instance have a null value in their URI field, so they all matched.

How? NULL = NULL evaluates to FALSE, SQL is a three value logic, specifically Kleene's weak three-valued logic, NULL anyoperator NULL is NULL.
Interesting to hear that the high school debate world is just like it was when I went to high school 20 years ago.

I became somewhat radical and left wing through my debate experience and then took action on it in college (participated in lots of illegal/anti-cap collective actions at Berkeley) and ultimately found that the entire revolutionary cause and “movement” are intellectually bankrupt. It all certainly sounds and feels very different when you can flit around the intellectual landscape in a debate versus having to settle on a real vindication and make your life out of it.
> Enterprising kids have been known to find ways around parental controls. Baker and other parents I interviewed say their kids aren’t hacking the system.

Be more specific. Give me a source of idea that you claim.
The article is interesting and all, but this aside was wildly out of touch:

> Wealthy people tend to receive a much more direct and immediate payoff for their time which is why they tend to be better about valuing it. This is why the first thing that most ultra-wealthy people I know do upon becoming ultra-wealthy is to hire a driver and start to fly private. For most normal people, the opportunity cost of their time is far more difficult to ascertain moment to moment.

Are you kidding? Poor people value their time, they just can't afford to use it more efficiently. I can't speak for Amazon shipping fees in particular, but if someone is eschewing a $5 delivery fee in favor of $3 of gas + 20 minutes of driving, it's because the marginal value of that $2 greater than the marginal value of that 20 minutes.
Many who have causally read about Matrix and looked into running a homeserver have run across the reference implementation Synapse, which is (IMO only, pls no flame) a bloated python monstrosity. This turned me off for years.

A second-gen (?) alternative written in Go called Dendrite is much lighter weight, but is lacking in some features last I looked.

A couple of years ago, I found Conduit (https://conduit.rs/) an ultra lightweight homeserver implementation written in Rust with an engaged and responsive community. I've been running this for 18-24 months now and use it for family communications, as well as small business and my group at my $DAYJOB. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't already to check out Conduit :)
A solution doesn't have to be perfect to be effective for the majority.

Many parents do make sure to get to know the parents of their kids' friends, and the household rules. If kids are showing each other explicit stuff in school there are usually policies and even laws to address that.

All that said, Apple markets their solutions as things that "just work". So it's fair to criticize them for gaps that can be reasonably addressed, especially when they have such a huge war chest.
I can pay attention to multiple things at the same time, donno about you.

What Screen Time should offer: Child can’t unlock when time is up. Emergency calls and calls to parents are allowed, but nothing else.

This seems really simple. Times up should mean times up.
> But it’s my own “personal insecurity” if I don’t do something about my own home.

Yes.

You could address this healthily. You could sit down and talk to your child about the scary websites and give them a primer on stranger danger and the like. My parents did the same thing before I turned 10. Instead you're prolonging the last vestiges of their innocence and making them less-aware as a result. By making unknown things a reward for them, how do you think they will react in the future?

It's your choice, at the end of the day. Maybe I was just raised wrong or something, but I think you're doing more harm than good.
If you can't understand the benefits of using RTK Query over fetch I'm not sure you're credible.

They're not even substitutes; RTK Query by default wraps fetch or can be configured to use your preferred http client. So it's an entirely additional layer of cacheing and refetching logic with a standardized interface around common loading and error states.

It is considerably easier to write performant web applications with a library like RTK Query or TanStack Query than to just use fetch and try to roll your own cacheing solution. I say this as someone who has done all of the above professionally.
Not enough people born after 1980 have read either version of the dictionary, which is a shame in having a unified vocabulary across more of the internet. A companion volume with new terms, events, and foci would help.

I am glad Monty Python, at least, remains popular across old hackers and new.
This absolutely happens. Running a K (kritik) is a risk because if the judge decides that you’re full of shit, they can basically just ignore your case. Your opponent can make an argument to throw the kritik out, and then you’re dead in the water

No they don't. Far more pedestrians are injured by other pedestrians than by cyclists. If you're going to make up a story, try to make it realistic.
The one time I've been to a debate they asked everyone's opinion on the topic before and after the debate, and then the winners were the ones who persuaded the most people to change their minds. So you can still win even if you're arguing for an unpopular opinion.

It was such an elegant metric I assumed all competitive debates used it. From this article it sounds like they just have judges that vote for the winner though? Crazy.
Overall, good on you.

Because I know very few countries in Oceania, it's very frustrating. Wake Island, eek!. If there were a 'show me' button that appears after a wrong answer, that would be a good addition. The result message (error/correct) disappears too quickly Maybe need to control it with at 'got it' button? I'd like to zoom even closer on the Balkan peninsula.
I’m realizing I’m arguing in an implicit feature that isn’t being explicitly discussed.

I would expect this service to eventually offer an enterprise feature. Having my employer fully control a VM does not break any data barriers.

> the streets that we build specifically for driving cars

If you want to participate in these kinds of discussions and have them turn into anything but shouting matches, you might want to consider that "specifically for driving cars" is very much the problem for many people. They don't share your axiom that it should be that way, or even that it's OK. Think for a moment. In an ideal world, how much space would you devote to cars and parking vs. bikes and pedestrians? Now go see how much is devoted to that. A lot of people don't even realize how big those numbers are, and you might find that the percentage is greater than even you just determined it should be. Cyclists drive in the road because they feel they're already being denied their fair share of that space, and what space is nominally given them is unfit for purpose (especially with regard to safety and freedom from obstruction). You might agree with them and you might not, but simply stating your (probably unexamined) axiom as fact isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

BTW it feels weird to me, taking the side of the cyclists. More often I'm at odds with them; I even recognize some of the names here from past encounters. As a "high speed pedestrian" (i.e. runner) I am absolutely sick and tired of cyclists trying to push me aside where I have every right to be and in fact 100% have right of way when there's contention. Especially when I know 99% of them are not commuters whose riding does anything whatsoever for the environment. The parking lot between the local bike path and where my daughter used to do karate is always full of cyclists unloading their bikes from their cars for what is clearly a recreational ride. They drove there (and back) to indulge in their hobby. I won't accept any self-righteous bullshit from them, but I do recognize that the actual bike commuters have every right to use paths and roads, and they're helping the (natural and human) environment by doing so.
And the fact that he gets it for free, but the electricity company still needs to build out the network (and profit) can tell you: solar power is going to be taxed heavily.

Which, ironically, tells you the major advantage of the tesla solar roof: not easily visible that it's solar panels, and thus easy to avoid tax with.
What does that matter if your destination isn't in an urban area?
This lens is underutilized in the discourse, but people feel it acutely. Even a lot of the anti-cycling stance comes down to, “What am I, poor?” When you are using transportation infrastructure that’s designed with contempt for you, you know, and you don’t want to be there. See also: rail slow zones, buses that shimmy and rattle violently on imperfect pavement, how Muni trains close their doors and pull one foot out of the station just to wait at a red light. If you’ve never seen good, dignified implementation of walking and transit then a lot of this seems inherent & car culture seems synonymous with dignity. Short of tickets to Amsterdam for everyone, I don’t know how to fix it.
Imagine if they banned ad hominem attacks against the president. You can talk shit about the things they do or how terrible their policies are, but the moment you make it personal, it's jailtime.

What a weird reality to consider.

I know what you mean, but 90% is too low.

The Century of the Self. The individualistic attitudes have snowballed in severity over the generations to what we have now and probably have encountered many times in the past. You can't champion for being free to make individual decisions against the norm without acknowledging that lots of people will be making bad irreversible decisions. The norm was developed and able to propagate for a reason!

It's just that those who align strongly with a religious collective will consist of the majority because those values tend to allow humanity to exist for another generation to play another round of the infinite game of life and evolution. What the individualistic attitudes (taken to their extreme) solve for is to play at most a couple of rounds, but have a lot of fun to compensate for sacrificing the long term.
The intellectual energy in the US is entirely beholden to economics at the present. There are plenty of intelligent individuals who could be mobilized on this issue but by and large they are subjugated by the language of economics into chasing teh dollarz.

Like you mentioned, mobilization is possible, look at WW2, intellectuals were entirely captured to serve military efforts during that period. Then w/ the neolib period it shifted to being captured by the language of economics which is where we are currently.

It really is on the precarious cognitariat to break the shackles of the current burden of working inside of the stagnant linguistic framework of economics. Economics is anti-science.
The best parental control continues to be putting devices in a hidden place out of sight when you don’t want kids to use them. Not a bad idea for adults too :)

I've felt this exact same sentiment and can't help but wonder if it's them being partially afraid of Apple Music in some way.

> As a debate student that goes to dozens of tournaments a year, arguing about the same policy topic over and over can get very dry.

That brings up a good point. We probably need to differentiate between a student debate as part of a class vs extracurricular debating.

Students participating in a classroom debate only get so many minutes of exposure; each is valuable. Tighter boundaries would seem to be called for there.
Then I don't understand your comment. You seem to agree with me, but your comment reads like a correction.
Technically, that's not true either! That's the current format, previous formats (still legal and transferable/usable) have included XN, XNNXXX, XXXNX, and others!

A single example chosen specifically because it is extreme isn’t the status quo, and Maoism isn’t (and is opposed to) liberalism.
The thing is we (as an American society) really don’t want a shift to walking. We like the idea of walking more but won’t actually do it. Instead we’ll make up a million excuses about why we just can’t walk.

I say this as someone who at 40 years old has never learned to drive and who has walked/bicycled/taken the bus virtually everywhere I’ve needed to go. And I’ve lived in very rural and very suburban areas, as well as mid-size and bigger cities.

I know it’s possible. It’s just that the vast majority of people don’t want to do it. And if you show them it can be done they’ll just make up a new excuse and keep on driving.
