I'm a bit skeptical of the "power imbalances" approach. I don't think it becomes fine to say "off with the politician's head" just because the speaker is powerless. Additionally, if "power imbalances" are a core factor in your decision-making, that incentivizes people to argue that they are powerless, and "oppression olympics" discussions of this kind are hard to adjudicate. (For example, arguing for your own powerlessness works better if you already have some power. Impoverished people in developing countries have very little power, and often lack the time, money, and language skills necessary to communicate with us.)

If I was writing a terms & conditions for a site like Facebook, I would try to distinguish between speech that aims to inform and speech that aims to intimidate. In general, I think the bar for censoring the former should be a lot higher. But it's not a hard rule, e.g. I wouldn't censor intimidating speech like "if you don't stop I'm gonna call the police".

I'm a lot more willing to censor speech directed at children, relative to speech directed at adults. Censoring speech directed at children doesn't run into the problems I discussed in my comment. (E.g. the circular dependency problem doesn't apply, because adults can still argue about what's OK to say to a child.)

Most use cases would be better served by the second generation open source relational databases such as YugabyteDB, TiDB or YDB.
supabase just added their $599 tier for their soc2/hippa compliant product. really appreciated that.
Personally I think a lot of people just don't understand how far, both feature and performance wise Godot is compared to Unity and Unreal Engine.
> The Philippines—an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, with a 36,289 kilometer coastline and 4,820 plastic emitting rivers—is estimated to emit 35% of the ocean’s plastic.

So how can we even start tackling this problem? they need about 4820 garbage collection services, it's going to be expensive...
YugabyteDB
I think that's a solid observation. I just like to add a 3rd dimension to the taxonomy, which is the relationship of the user to the finished work (is it for money? is it for anyone else? is it for fun? is it meaningful?) because I think this impacts the user's relationship with the tools.
I've never trusted the design of that thing -- not even to get on it once. It's just so.. dumb. It doesn't have a failsafe mode. At least put some small wheels / rollers on the leading edge so when it inevitably nosedives, it wouldn't dig in. Terrible design.

I ride an electric skateboard (boosted stealth) -- it makes sense to me. If the battery runs out, or if it loses connection to the remote, it turns into a dumb, heavy skateboard. When it fails mechanically (snapped belts, burned out motors), it turns into a dumb skateboard. You can carve to lose speed, you can drag your foot to slow down, you can even slide it like a regular longboard.

Even with all that, I sometimes imagine what could happen if the software glitched and cranked the throttle 100% forward or back - makes my skin crawl. Luckily I've never heard of that happening with any of their boards in however many years.

All that said, I think these types of "last mile" small-scale mobility devices are a very good way to help people decouple from cars, make transit more accessible, and generally take back street space from the monoculture of heavy, dangerous, energy-intensive vehicles.
I don’t understand what you’re disagreeing with me here. You’ve just shown why the village grocer making this recommendation is different than the credit card company doing this at scale using algorithms.

Also, not sure if you’re aware, but the data that the credit card company gets is really horrible. The category information is often wrong, the business name being billed is often different than the name of the business you’re buying things at, etc. They do have your credit score and probably more accurate financial situation. Google has far better information about you and your behaviors though than the CC company in general.
The Linear Algebra Mapping Problem and how programming languages solve it [video]
What I really miss in DAWs is a drum arranging tool that goes beyond scores or xoxo grids. Those are good for editing patterns in atomic ways, but I'd love something to quickly record new patterns played on drum pads on the fly, with arbitrary duration, create a new pattern that inherits parts of the one I just recorded (to make variations and fills) just by hitting one key and/or sending a MIDI note from a controller, etc. Then after having a good number of patterns, I'd like something that shows them as nodes on screen so that they can be connected dynamically according to a predefined flow with possible variations triggered by MIDI notes (pedal switches) during live performances so that the flow can be altered either by prolonging/shortening a series of patterns, jumping here and there based on conditions, but the visual node representation would be vital to have a quick feedback that shows what is going to happen say 5 measures from now, for example by highlighting the nodes and flow that will be followed under the present conditions.

How do you fare with 'just' 14 free days?
I always find that if I get busy, or life just gets in the way that 14 days isn't always enough.
I have, though, with certain vendors, negotiated a certain number of hours that I have always used (and if I've not continued to use the product I've always provided honest feedback as to why not).

Isn't range a big factor here? Like, the shortest-ranged brand-name electric kickscooters have a range of like 15 miles, while that's the most you can get out the longest-ranged onewheels.

It seems like it'd be possible to offer ultralight kickscooters that would be an apples-to-apples comparison with the onewheel that could fold down to the same collapsed size.
There’s a difference between “approving of” something and thinking it shouldn’t be a crime. What’s your feeling on the first amendment? Do you approve of hate speech?
Well that's how conversations go, coach. One thought leads to another, sometime tangentially.

Don't worry, I'm done here now.
All true, but you have to trust the organization(s) that manufactured your bike. And unless you’re paying $Ks of dollars the manufacturing quality is sadly going down.

My main point is: You gotta trust someone. If you trust no one you should move out to a remote uninhabited forest.
I guess I’m jealous, then :)

But more seriously, they do spend a lot of money and effort marketing those features and it must work well enough to be worth it.
All but the highest models of SanDisk have done this to me, as well as the lowest end of Western Digital, ADATA, Kingston. Same for some lesser brands that I've forgotten (not fakes, just shoddy).

> Roszak: "Search advertising is one of the world's greatest business models ever created - maybe Windows is on that same level as Christian and I discussed at dinner & there are certainly illicit businesses (cigarettes or drugs) that could rival these economics, but we are fortunate to have an amazing business"

The Bloomberg title seems to be editorialized by ignoring context. The quote is about search advertising, not Google Search in particular. Moreover, the comparison with drugs and cigarettes isn't wholistic. It's only in one aspect - the economics of a product never being in short demand. The document then says that this is changing.
Android has the same problem. Sometimes it lets you drop inside, sometimes it flies away.
Flexbox aligns things while grid mostly allocates specific space for them.

So, if I need alignment, I go with flexbox. If I have all the elements sketched-up in a design, I go with grid.

The only good thing I can say about this disgusting cash grab by business is they are asking such a ludicrous amount that people have no choice but to lawyer up.

$30k in "training costs" for a 2 week program leading into a $35k/year job?

$38k in "training costs" + $100k in "loss of business because we have to find a replacement" for a job that pays $200k average, and far less for starters, is insane.

If they just tried to hit people up for $10k or something, some might actually suck it up and move on.
I don't trust the encryption, but I especially don't trust the WhatsApp backups - and if I disable cloud backups for my messages, it asks me every few weeks if I don't want to turn it on, and I have to choose "never" every single time.

That's a great option for an onsite-only position in the area. Keep my cheapass house, go work in SF for a bit until the inevitable layoff / contract EOT, save the difference in buckaroonies.

Someone should do this near Boeingville WA. The aero/def pay scales are hilariously incapable of meeting the CoL in the area, but I'd take a sleep cube and stay in the area, drive home weekends.

"Particularly the requirement to have agreement from everyone on everything is not scalable."

Imho that is a feature: the EU's power depends directly on how much its members' noses are in the same direction.

Where this breaks down is exactly when it's "majority decides, decision is forced top-down onto member states, even those who didn't agree".

EU-wide cooperation (with willing members) is good. Some kind of 'EU superstate' is not.
There is nothing wrong with <textarea> it is just sometimes you need more control than you can get from <textarea> in those instances using contenteditable is a perfectly fine solution. Othertimes you realize dropping the feature and sticking to <textarea> is also fine.

As a front end developer I use either under different circumstances. If a feature like marking the portion of text that overflows the allowed length of the input, makes sense for the app, I will grab a contenteditable for the job. If it turns out it is enough to tell users that the text was too long with an error message under the text box, then I will just use a <textarea>, potentially with the Constraint Validation API.

Saying it again because I'm seeing it again. GPT accusations, especially unsubstantiated GPT accusations, should be automatically flagged. There are better ways to disagree with a user, better ways to report GPT written spam comments, and better ways to shut down a conversation that you don't want to have. And, on a personal level, it really makes it seem like you don't know what you're talking about when you resort to this type of comment, even if your previous statements held some weight.
Has any other life form on Earth protected another life form on Earth from extinction?
It seems like other life is spending 0 effort maintaining the environment, preventing the extinction of other species that are considered competitors for limited food and limited space.

Without exploring the question of why, it makes sense from an evolutionary biology point of view that trees (forests, really, as trees with extensive root systems tend to be pretty drought tolerant) would attract rain. They require it to survive and thrive in the long run
Sounds about right, considering how many accidental screenshots I've taken during lag when I press the two buttons involved in the combo a few seconds apart.
> 911 is handled too specially
AFAIK there is some special functionality to report location directly to emergency services when calling to speed up emergency handling

but if that would be my implementation I would track call in some very simple way and if that's second or third try to call 911 within hour then handle it as ordinary call without that extra functionality as a safeguard
Also, reframing only slightly, to a preindustrial person who spent all their time producing calories or spinning/weaving fiber for clothes, we're a post-scarcity society. We have so many calories it's making us sick and so much clothing we have to export discarded unused clothes. That hasn't meant we stopped chasing ever greater wealth just bc we can more than supply our needs. We just find more and more extravagant things to want.

Once we have asteroid mining, a generation of wealthy people will want their own space stations, or fusion-driven space craft or something.

I allow a few pixels for Shakey slow hands.
From very dim memory: I think there's some flag you can set that marks your test network as not suitable for that kind of thing. But even if not, IIRC you can set routing information for stuff like 911 on a subscriber basis in your test network - which you'd just do for the handset you're testing.
She will get very little out of the fight. The law favors the direct impact on consumers by Amazon's actions. She will have a very hard time proving that the customer has been harmed by the company. In fact if you look at what life was like before Amazon you will see that consumer was worst off. Things like very expensive overnight delivery, very expensive for merchants to go on line, low mix of available online products... etc. Additionally, traditionally monopoly law looks at how customers have been harmed. Again, customers have benefited because of Amazon. Also, there's no public push to fix Amazon. There will be a lot of noise coming from both sides but she will get very little concessions from Amazon. After all the ruckus, Amazon will mostly look and function the same.

I don't favor the strangle hold Amazon has on e-retail so I want Khan to win. Her best bet is to prove her case in academia and have it move towards her view so that the new generation of judges, law students, that are being trained now will change things ones they gain power.

In the past I’ve used a small, local pharmacy and the experience was great. It was fast and - more importantly - I felt like the staff wasn’t miserable.
With the ongoing amphetamine shortage I’ve had to spend a lot of time calling around and seeing who has my medication in stock, then having my doctor send the prescription there. As a result, I’ve seen a lot of pharmacies recently.

CVS and Walgreens both seem like awful places to work (with the obvious caveat that this is drawn from a few very local datapoints). Extremely understaffed, so the staff was harried and had to deal with customers who were often pretty irritable by the time they got to the front of the line (I waited 30 minutes yesterday at Walgreens, 40 minutes at CVS a few months back).

I would have expected the pharmacy at the Super Walmart to be one of the worst in terms of working conditions, but they had a lot of people working, so the line moved pretty fast and no one behind the counter looked anywhere near as harried as the pharmacy techs at Walgreens/CVS.
I sold my Onewheel because I was seeing more reports of this sort of stuff. Personally never experienced it in about 2.5k miles ridden. I guess I was lucky. The way I've seen people take drops on these things, or modify the electronics can't be good. I've honestly wondered if those little front wheels (called Fangs I think) would become a standard thing.

“Just Blaaaaazzzee”

This is admittedly very niche but I see your point.

Also: I remember a time in the early 00s when almost every song on MTV began with Rodney Jerkins whispering “DARKCHILD” over the music.

Ultimately isn’t it just branding though? Would you buy Coca-Cola if it had some other label on the bottle? Or watch Mission Impossible 14 starring Some Dude? I’m not sure there’s a lot of fields where things are really competing on their own merits rather than the accumulation of their past successes.
I remember Google analytics listing 150k/year for the enterprise offering, stating something along NG the lines: "we like simple pricing".

It was 10 years ago, I don't know if that has changed since.
It is not a crime to keep things in your head, however, because there's a strong risk that one with pedo tendencies enact on it, we shouldn't feed this sexual desire.
While targeting search may be more expedient, I would expect the proper target to be the publisher or maintainer of the inaccurate newspaper articles. If articles make false claims, that can fall under defamation. A reasonable newspaper will include corrections (preferably inline).
You think they should not be able to regulate monopolies? The free market only works with regulation or else we end up back in the 1800s Trust era where a few people owned all the industries and you couldn't get your shipments transported on rail lines owned by someone with a competing business interest.

I’m surprised you kept the phone. I would have gotten a new phone if I discovered my current one couldn’t dial 911 properly.
do you think the distrust of institutions is warranted?
I've worked in companies where bug reports were typically very light on useful information but fairly often included a screenshot. By putting some key information (ideally a request ID, but a session ID or user ID can be invaluable) into the screenshot it can greatly increase the ability to solve these support queries quickly with little user friction.

IIRC in our case the data was encrypted so it couldn't be used for tracking outside of the support system. I do see how it can be considered harmful to add information that the user didn't intend to share but it also had clear user benefits (as well as company benefits of course).
Yes, although if the consistency is good enough for _payments infrastructure_, it's probably good enough for just about everything.
> I rarely even make a phone call anymore

This is true for many young people. Turns out phone calls are pretty much the only time the earpiece speaker gets used on a phone. Lots of people have killed their earpiece speaker by filling it with sand, salt, water, lint, etc. Speakers seem to die more easily when never used, presumably because use vibrates dirt out. End result: When they call 911 they can't hear anything.

My phone currently has a dead earpiece speaker, and I just know that if I need to call 911, it better be on speakerphone.

Oh, it's more than that, I think!

Dexedrine feels like it (1) increased the "volume" on the outside world, so that it could compete with whatever's happening inside my head and (2) increased my ability to choose what I was focusing on.

Contrast with Adderral, which felt like cutting off my peripheral vision (like wearing blinders, or a costume mask), only for my sense of focus and awareness instead of literal vision. (I hated it).

Caffeine "just" ups overall energy levels, so it would give me more energy to direct focus... but it also amped up the things that would generate distractions.

Huberman Lad has a good episode going into the brain structures, which aligned with what I think I've experienced.

But yeah! It's well known (AFAIK) that people with ADD have "opposite reactions", although it's more about the complex engine under the hood.

From my experience, anyone looking to spend more than $1000 per month will want to have a conversation with someone.

I don't know the details, but QT started in 1991, developed in C++ and is a good solid foundation even today, without the backing of something like Apple which would be a game-changer. So while I agree C++ has warts not sure to what extent you can extrapolate from that.
