> if they had any value they wouldn't be dumping them on her like this.

A good percentage of online bought items are returned. Often, nothing wrong with the product.

Wrong size, color different from expected, customer changed their mind or bought elsewhere in the meantime, bought 3, picked 1 or 2 most liked & returned the other, bought for specific occasion but item arrived too late, item looked good on website but fabric doesn't feel right, etc, etc. Many possible reasons.

For seller, return shipping might be more costly than just dump product. Or was forced to clear stock due to storage costs. Doesn't mean item is worthless, just worthless to seller.

But forcing random person to deal with this somehow vs. seller doing that themselves, is of course asshat way to run a business.

Way back in time I used to work at McDonald's. When I started working there, they used lard (beef tallow) in the fryers. This is what made the original McDonalds fries soo good. But there was growing outcry about saturated fat in the 1980s, and under pressure they switched over to using vegetable oil. Unless something has changed, the oil does not contain trans-fats, and the McDonald's nutrition website[1] supports this, but it definitely does not produce the same taste or texture of french fry.

[1] https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/small-french-frie...

Of course what local restaurants use will vary wildly. Some will use high quality oil and some will use the cheapest food-grade oil they can find that has managed to get FDA/USDA approval (not sure which agency supervises that).

Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.

That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.
I don’t see the harm of monetizing something great. You could also say that its a way to reward the good work.
This seems to be a general problem for what I normally refer to orchestration software. I.e. calling a lot of external dependencies, io and in general very slim on business logic. You've simply got to deal with too many dependencies, which may or may not have different versions, flavors and whatnot. It becomes impossible to test every permutation, so instead you rely on brute force to weed out bugs, simply fix the things once a bug report comes in.

It helps having good integration/e2e tests, but they only go so far, customers/developers customize and mess up their systems all the time.

Which is why I've choose binaries instead, they are mostly self-contained (except for various things about gnu and musl), and in general just rely on a higher level of built in functionality (because of the statically linked nature).

Seems quite off for Seattle at least. They put housing costs for 1 adult 0 children at ~$18000, which last I checked barely covers rent for a studio, but no other housing-related expenses (like... water/sewer/electric, which isn't cheap here either).

The childcare costs seem a little suspect too.

This won't be going away. Branching will just be another option

fwiw, I've also heard from a few enterprise companies that the git-based branching model isn't as suitable for them, because every other tool in their stack works in a prod/stage/dev type model, and there is no simple way to make it work with (for example) ~30 different environments

The branching model is really an "all-in" solution. It works particularly well if you're using something like Vercel/Netlify for your frontend. If you're using a serverside framework (Django, Rails, Phoenix, etc) then it's not as simple. That said, I think it's the way the world is moving, and with the advent of cheap VMs then it makes it very plausible even for these serverside frameworks
I don't think the rule against perpetuities ever prohibited the creation of very long leaseholds, so long as the lease itself vested within the period, because the reversion would already have been vested at the grant of the lease.

Without the additional constraints manifest v3 puts on what code an extension can run at runtime, an extension author can just slip some "grab some code from a server I control and eval it" logic into their extension, which Google can't vet. That makes it possible for an extension that was fine yesterday go to "harvesting your PII to send to a company that is building an AI based on your click frequency" today with no change indicated; just a silent "Oops I'm malicious now" shift.

All cards on the table: Google does a not-great job of protecting against intentional malicious changes last I checked, i.e. they'll pass through a lot of new extensions and extension updates that do shady stuff behind the scenes. But without some lockdown on arbitrary code execution (which Mv3 provides), the problem is theoretically impossible to solve.
> Yes, WebGPU isn't available on Safari yet

... I wonder why that is ...

Apple knows everything about bypassing restrictions. Their initial play on iOS was meant to be webapps - just so that carriers (which had, until then, dictated what could and could not be delivered and installed on every device) would be totally bypassed. It just so happened that the carriers capitulated to Jobs' marketing magic so completely, that Apple didn't have to go that way - they could become the gatekeeper themselves.

WebGPU on Safari, if it ever lands, will always be borked "just enough" that it won't be viable as a commercial platform. Apple will fight for their cut as viciously as a mob boss fights for his corners.

I don't think this is necessarily true -- if you limit your sources to "good" ones (thoughtful, reliable, with minimal political agenda -- I'd include the economist and a handful of substack writers in this mix) then you can be informed without needing to expose yourself to the awful deluge of mainstream crap. So maybe you can be somewhat happy (if your definition of happiness depends upon you not being engaged in the culture war), but still informed and intelligent.

The problem, however, is the impact this change in political reporting has on actual politics. That, I'm not sure how to solve.

It used to be that pre-election debates were for nerds and policy wonks. Now everyone watches them, but all substance has been removed. Debates themselves may even cease to exist.

I mean, yes, that's the obvious take, but can you honestly say there's nothing you could be doing that would make you more money, but that would completely suck, prompting you to do something else instead?

Just today I'm seeing stories about how the UPS truck drivers have managed to negotiate themselves pay and benefits up to $170,000/year. Would you rather make $150,000 a year at your desk at home, or $170,000/year schlepping packages for UPS?

If your answer is "$150K," you're taking a pay cut for a better work environment. Does that make you a sucker? No? Well, that's what WFH is about. If you have to leave your current job and find another one to make it happen, it could make sense as long as your paycheck and future prospects aren't too badly hurt. (And assuming you want to WFH, of course, which many people will not.)
Both looked dated back then, but Fedora Core 3 more so.

Besides a slightly less clunky selection for theming, the game changer was the installer and the willingness to chuck the Free Software purity, back when the FSF was at the height of its influence and the terrible that was setting up Linux made it inaccessible to even CompSci students, let alone the general public.

The delivery of Live CDs (I believe initially they still had a Live/Install split like other contemporary distros) was _huge_ also in places where broadband was too slow to make downloading the ISOs practical if you weren't 100% committed since before even starting, and it reached many countries, in South America it'd for sure be a huge pain to download ISOs.

All these actions to make Linux more accessible were a pretty big deal.
Err, what? Keyword there: "New".

SpaceX still faces large costs and delays in developing new launch vehicles, including starship, which is delayed and unfinished btw, so no matter how you try to spin it, Starship is not (currently) a good example of SpaceX being an exception to the adage. Artermis 3 isn't exactly cheap afterall, and if you don't know what that is but know what Starship is, that proves the adage this one is refering to:

> 39[a]. Any exploration program which "just happens" to include a new launch vehicle is, de facto, a launch vehicle program.

The whole point of these two adages is that reusing an existing design is better than a new one. SpaceX's REUSABLE rockets are great for a number of reasons yes, but by definition, those are not NEW launch vehicles. And when they were new, well, lots of delays and setbacks and costs as they kept accidentallying rockets trying to land them. Not a slight against SpaceX btw, that's part of rocket science and innovation, but again, not cheap or quick.

If anything, SpaceX's entire business model is EMBRACING that adage, not disproving it or an exception to it.

Even though it won't compromise any of my users data, the reason I'm not doing this is because it indirectly endorses that other extension and I don't control what they do with their users data.
