>since speech is typically different than writing

Is a scripted video significantly different to a written blogpost? It might be a symptom of the type of YT videos I watch, but most of them seem to be essay-style "intro/thesis/points 1, 2, 3/counterpoint/conclusion", and the only thing that hints at speech is the umming-and-arring of the presenter.
> Glorifying gun violence in front of children and making children follow active shooter drills seems curiously fine with you

Banning violent performances in public libraries is fine with me.

> Why is society obligated to tolerate right-wingers throwing a fit and causing moral panic about every minor progressive issue?

What state institutions sanction with their imprimatur of authority to children is no minor issue.

> Why is society obligated to tolerate the alleged "christian morality" (which is anything but) being pushed by right wingers?

To be clear, it’s not limited to “Christians” or “right-wingers.” Public institutions sanctioning flagrant violation of that society’s gender norms would be extremely controversial in most of the world. In fact, of the 7 billion people in the world, the people who think drag shows in libraries are mostly in Christian or formerly Christian countries.
The scale of logging in Canada is pretty hard to convey but can be best seen on Google maps satellite view British Columbia cut blocks are so large and numerous they give the interior forest a textured look of dark green light green and brown showing every phase of forest cutback and regrowth

When we replant forests immediately with monoculture of pine/fir/spruce it unfortunately leaves out a lot that a true forest requires and the resulting land will be less ecologically productive and every time the same region is re-logged a good amount of topsoil is lost

Some parts of Vancouver island can be logged cyclically every 25-30 years since there’s so much rain and it’s incredibly warm through the winter

You are hard pressed to find a single acre in southern Canada that wasn’t logged at least once

It’s clear that the industry will not slow production I wonder what it would cost to do replanting properly though e.g. re fill land with a diverse plant selection and mandate a minimum 100-150 years in between cuts

But alas I am not sure

My point is that the following paragraph doesn't exactly hold up if you consider Wagner to be "slight more competent weak opponents" which I would.

> When confronted with slightly more competent weak opponents (e.g. Taliban), the US military performs far more poorly. This poor performance worsens sharply as enemy competence scales.

Southern California's watershed (Los Angeles, San Diego, Inland Empire), extends 1,500 miles eastward, to the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains, watershed for the Colorado River.

One reason urban developments are so sparse and widely-separated west of the Rockies is that there's simply insufficient water, rights are held under Spanish-derived law (seniority), and those senior rights are held, many by large West Coast cities, most especially Los Angeles.

Climate changes across that entire region will have a profound impact on coastal dwellers, even if sea-level rise is modest and coastal climates are largely unchanged. Simply because that's not where the water is coming from.

(Northern California's water largely comes from Sierra Nevada snowpack (San Francisco, Central Valley), or local reservoirs (mostly coastal counties). Santa Barbara similarly relies on local sources, largely Lake Cachuma, a reservoir in the Santa Ynez Valley. Supplies can dip parlously low in drought years. <https://www.countyofsb.org/2795/Reservoirs>).

Not trying to mislead existing users into creating new accounts.

It's really annoying that on some websites you have to open up multiple dropdowns to reach the login page, also passing five sign up buttons on the way there. It's even filled with dark patterns, with the sign up button blinking and screaming at you to click it every single time, while the login button is made smaller and grayed out. I remember GitHub pulling this shit some time ago. Once I truly couldn't find the login button and gave up, opting to guess the URL/find it in history.

What is even the purpose of that? Is it truly a scheme to get users to sign up multiple times for the same service so that the user number goes higher? That seems too dumb.
I think the providers might actually come from GitHub because the registry insists you have them as release assets

That's why I think Twitter would've died anyway (or deflated).

It was quite hard to consume niche information without posts from outside the community to pop out. The solution to this was to only read tweets with hashtag you wanted to follow, and not what was 'trending', but Twitter interface got a bit in the way. The new Twitter version have a sightly better interface, but much worse content imho (on the hashtags I followed). Also I can't read discussions without login in, and that's just a killer point.
He is right, your assertions about alleged Nazi bars are obviously false.

I think nushell makes a pretty good case against itself.

Take ls: like the article says gnu ls has tons of options to configure how its output is displayed. But that's because ls is a user interface for displaying lists of files. I'm not sure how the proponents of all these new shell keep missing this point. If you just want a list of files in a POSIX shell you use a glob expression.

But whatever, nushell has its own builtin ls that is for getting lists of files. And then you pipe it into other commands to configure the output. Great. Can I get the output to be like 'ls -C'? Nope. Can I turn off colors? No. Can I add the indicator character like 'ls -F'? Not a chance.

Well, at least I don't have to pass '-l' just to see the file mode... actually I do, otherwise it would be too slow.

Many of the options that clutter gnu ls are generic options that apply to all tables, and it would be nice to abstract them. But many aren't, many are specific to what ls is doing and it's hard to me to see how this all could be generalized in a way that applies both to ls and to grep.

For now nushell sidesteps the problem by not having its own reimplementation of grep, unlike ls if you type grep you get real grep and you can't pipe the output into anything meaningful.

The best I could do to replicate grep inside nushell was this:

cat haystack | split row -r '\n' | enumerate | where item =~ needle

asides from the shocking verbosity, I can't see any way to replicate the --color option of grep, or -A and -B.

The cop-out solution to this is to have builtins return objects (as in OOP objects, with methods), but then everything needs to be written in the same language.
This. I got three old films developed last month, two were about 10-12 years ago and one was even older.

Out of two "younger" films the color one had all it's black replaced by blue and the other one was pushed 3 stops and turned out fine. The "oldest" film was completely blank.
I've been using Wise for years and am generally happy with them, but always keeping an eye out for alternatives. Why I didn't find this convincing

- Have to download app - wise lets me use a website too, and generally I want to do business banking from my laptop, not my phone

- No actual price comparisons and 99% seems unlikely. Wise also gives me the 'google exchange rate'. If you are actually cheaper, then I would show comparisons for €100, €1000, €10000, not just 'a million euro'.

- Make it clearer that you're available in the EU - I nearly closed the site thinking it was only for UK as it defaulted to GBP.

- Have a 'wall of text' version in the header - the landing page is light on details, and I don't assume I'll find more information on "News", "Blog" or "Help" - maybe a "Features" or "Offerings" header page where you go into a lot more detail (countries you're available in, currencies you offer, documents needed to sign up, full table of all fees (not the marketing version), timelines for opening an account, timelines for making transfers, etc etc)
Fair, I should have found that.

Personally I disagree with the "Major version upgrades". To me that what I want, you release a product, I buy it knowing what it contains and what it does. My expectations are that I get security fixes for some period of time, but other than that the "no new features" is a feature all on its own.

I might be in the minority, but I'd pay $150 up front, rather than a $8 per month, knowing full well that I might need to pay another $100 the next time macOS is updated. It's not the money as much as it is the mental overhead of yet another subscription.

Customers need to be able to keep track of their subscriptions and after four or five that's it, you lose track and the money just disappear out of your account every month. Say that: Well the App Store lists all your subscriptions... is missing the point, because not all of my subscriptions are going to be centrally managed by Apple, Google or some one else. Again, it might just be me, but I believe that companies are losing out on sales because they're not offering straight up purchases. There's just no way to track sales lost because of it, so it's not on anyone's radar.

Edit: I checked the pricing on VMWare Fusion, it was release in 2020, it might have been cheaper on release, but let's assume it's not, that's $199 up front, I'd still be able to us it and I'm saving money. I can then upgrade it for $99, but I don't have to, unless I also upgrade my laptop to an M-series. So it's cheaper for me to buy an objectively better product. I might even get a discount if I buy bulk licenses or I'm already a VMWare customer. I get why subscriptions are attractive to the developers, but they provide no value to the customer.
You just answered your own question. :)

Want to play Zelda? You have to pay Nintendo at least $260. $100 more if you want to play on something better than a Switch Lite.

Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo actually makes a profit on their hardware sales as well as game sales.
> limit the size if the parasitic rich class

Do you consider it ok to dehumanize your fellow humans by comparing them to parasites?

Also, how can you be so sure that the metaphor even works? Do you truely believe that everyone else would be better off if the top 0.1% richest people in the world had never been born, and never started all those big companies they own?

Because that's what it means to be a "parasite". To consume resources you have no part in creating.

Or is the word "parasictic" ONLY used as a means to dehumanize a group you detest, without even being meant to be seen as a metaphor?

I don't mind having a discussion about how to best distribute the economic output of the economy, but calling one group or another parasites is not a good start.
I know people hate the idea of all three of world government, government IDs, and reducing people to numbers, but things would be a lot easier if we could just write on forms "I'm person number 15389247652" and let name matching be relegated to historical documents.
Dude, the only important difference is the interaction cross section, in practice virtually all particle detections happen via secondary effects: for example CCD chips also observe the secondary interaction effect (of a electron being kicked out), and with gamma ray detectors you often don't see the entire secondary effect because the photon exists the detector before being fully absorbed.

They are not different in gmail terms.

You’re not receiving anyone else’s mail and no one could have registered another account with/without dots to conflict with it.
There's conflicting advice on where to start with Iain M Banks' Culture novels, but I would personally start with the first - Consider Phlebas - and read the rest in order.

If you like Consider Phlebas, you'll almost certainly love the rest. It's a strange start to the series, not least because it presents the Culture as the antagonists quite explicitly, but it's good for introducing some of the technology. The series as a whole is my favourite series of books, it's remarkable.
I tried multiple screens but realized I always tend to use just one of them and the others can be replaced by virtual desktops.

In terms of size I use 28" and that works well for me, 14" on the laptop is fine too but feels a bit limited now and then. In the long term I'll probably go for something inbetween with a size ratio closer to 4:3.

Can you quantify "not really much"? Because I don't think you're correct; I think that Canada has tons of natural forest.

Also could you explain when measures and quantity are the same and when they are not?

> Can't be cheap to run the registry given the obscene size of some terraform providers.

Some providers are also hosted externally. I guess if traffic is going to be a problem they might also just switch to hosting every provider that is build on GitHub to GitHub releases (and hope that GitHub won't change its policy)

That article mixes up the moral and legal principles of the abortion law, and access in practice. In terms of moral and legal principles, Roe was indeed an outlier. The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly declined to find a “right” to abortion, leaving it to member nations legislatures. Most European countries don’t recognize abortion as a “right” either. (Indeed, German law recognizes a right to life and abortion is technically only decriminalized there.) Abortion law in Europe thus reflects a range of legislative choices. In that sense, Dobbs is consistent with the law in the US.

Moreover, only a small minority of countries allow elective abortions in the second trimester. Most draw the line for elective abortions at the end of the first trimester (at which point the baby has a face and looks like a baby).

Nintendo is just Nintendo, and enough people have bought a console just because of one game (or several games) for them still have enough money to keep being Nintendo.

I don't really want to defend them, but you need to look at the North American video game market crash of 1983 to understand their current stance. The entire video game market collapsed, because any old crap was being released as a game. Consumers lost confidence in the "platform" of specific games consoles. If they bought a home computer instead, there would still be games and it had other utility.

The NES was the antithesis of this. A walled garden of Nintendo, and plenty of first-party game development. The approach worked, it brought them fortune and made them a major player in the video game market. Why would they abandon this approach if it's still working for them almost 40 years later?
It's financial. It's a lot more complicated for me to inspect an app than a website. I understand that the modern generation is pretty comfortable with this but us old folks have a lot of money and don't trust our phones with it as easily. (I beta tested Android while at Google. Smart phones aren't new to me. I just have a different level of acceptable risk than my kid does.)

Actually not really they burn quicker and hotter since the tree planters are meant to put a pine or spruce tree very regularly every 6-8 feet in more or less a grid which gives the resulting trees a very bushy characteristic and crowds out the wet undergrowth that an older forest would have

Not mentioning that the old discarded branches from the original logging are left behind to bake in the sun for 2-3 years before replanting which don’t really decay very fast

For the first 10-20 years after logging an old cut block is like a pile of very dry fuel

It is to me...an example from a CNN transcript:

"Former chief-of-staff, Mark Meadows asking a federal judge to put his surrender on hold, while deciding whether to move his trial to federal court, and former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, seeking the same, making a pretty remarkable argument in his filing."

That's someone doing a sort of play-by-play explanation of what viewers are seeing in a video. Compare to a purposefully written story:

"A federal judge in Georgia rejected a request by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to postpone his surrender and arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, as an attempt to move the case to federal court is litigated, according to a court order issued Wednesday."

It seems like there could be some value in an LLM that would rewrite the first into something more like the second.
