I have fond memories of Dick Smith. My dad bought my first soldering iron, along with some soldering projects (I remember the FM Wireless Microphone from here https://ia801002.us.archive.org/3/items/dicksmithsfunwayinto... ). You could tell the people creating the kits were really keen to share their love of electronics.

You could buy loose components out of trays, and it seemed like they had a bunch more unusual adapters and gadgets that wouldn't interest a typical consumer. But they gradually became just a retailer for big brand items.
I posted this because I think this is an important consideration in the debate about the benefits and drawbacks of psychedelics.
It's expensive to build out mass production capacity. This is a stupid calculation to do before they're realizing the benefits of mass production with lots of vehicles to amortize the costs.

Interesting. I wonder if there's any practical application observed in the wild. Like people who drink tea are less likely to catch it or something.
No, I'm stating that they have already done so and that Estonia isn't doing this in a purposeful way. Liechtenstein, Gstaad, Monaco, Luxembourg, the Channel Islands and a bunch of other entities within Europe have all made bank over the last 100 years or so by taking illegal deposits of all kinds within their regulated banking system.

Estonia isn't in that league, nor are they trying to get there. They simply can't cope with the influx, whereas for those others that influx of illegal capital was the goal itself, which is well documented, and which, incidentally is one of the reasons moneyed interests aimed to have the UK secede the EU. Unless you have actual proof that Estonia created their program with the express interest of attracting illegal cash I think you should drop the generalization.
They took off from an adjacent prepared road that used to be a runway.

Oh wow yeah, that is a beast. Let me give it a shot.
Amazon Prime isn't the same as Costco Membership unless you ignore everything beyond "richer customers are willing to pay for it".

Costco makes its profit off its membership.

Amazon Prime offers a product at less than cost and then shifts that cost onto its manufacturers.

After all if I am paying Amazon for Prime shouldn't Amazon pay for the difference between more typical free shipping and two day shipping at minimum? Isn't that what the payment is for?

The reality is Amazon Prime is more akin to a loss leader and Amazon realized it could use its market position to avoid inflating it's price to reflect that loss by putting pressure on its partners.

Of course whether this is legal is an open question obviously but it certainly isn't the same as Costco using a membership as a profit source.

Walmart vs Amazon is more nuanced as the difference gets into market overlaps. Should Amazon be able to force you to use its fulfillment service to use its website (which is generally illegal for drop ship style setups like Amazon who doesn't take ownership).

So Amazon is certainly rubbing against a "you can't force bundling like that". The question is whether their "forcing" you in the way their website heavily focuses on Prime.
Reading this is crazy talk to me. I can recall what things look like, like I know what an elephant looked like or my first apartment. But I just know what it was like, I can’t project it anywhere in my brain. It’s also just a very high level knowledge, there is 0 detail whatsoever because there is “nothing”.

It’s incredibly fascinating to learn about nuances between humans.

Well, the second secret is having a very rigid and precise interface between the watch case and back cover so that the thin gasket remains under the correct amount of pressure everywhere around the joint. This has been optimized at the small size of a watch.

On a larger object, this level of precision is harder to maintain. Due to spacing between fasteners or other flexing/distortion of the body, the gasket could be overly compressed in some places and loose in others...

> no human capital

Let's look at some data. Estonia ranks extremely high in math, science, and reading tests given to 15 year olds as shown by the international PISA tests. [1] In fact only a handful of Asian countries rank higher. The results are basically the same as the highest ranking state in the US - Massachusetts.

> huge corruption

Estonia ranks #14 in the Corruption Perceptions Index, which is really good. [2] Also, having lived in Estonia most of my life I have never encountered a situation that involves a bribe, whether explicit or implied.

> most young people left for greener pastures

Young people want to see the world. I personally spent years living in other countries, and a lot of my friends as well. However most of us ended up returning in our 30s. Turns out Estonia is pretty great.

I mostly was wanting to share the age of the Oregon Fort Rock sandals because of this quote from the article...

“My first reaction was, ‘Oh my God, that is not possible,’”

If you were aware of the Fort Rock sandals and their age, then this is not only possible, but quite probable given similar finds from thousands of years before already existed - on another continent.

> Is my only choice to yeet Adderall and "memorize my lines"?

I really cannot fathom why you jumped to this. Is "practice and get better" that unreasonable? You really only need a handful of things to talk about if the question is as open ended as "Tell us about a project you worked on". The question is akin to having a normal conversation with another dev about something you built.

Ultimately the point of the question is A.) To tell if you're lying about your experience, B.) To tell if you were conscious of things like edge cases, alternative strategies, failure conditions and scale, C.) If you can communicate effectively. I wouldn't overthink it. It doesn't have to be Google 2.0 to be the project you talk about, just something that you had a significant hand in making and were aware of any tradeoffs available.
Finally.

The planned obsolescence conversation seems to revolve around Apple (the only self-interested greedy company on the planet according to the detractors) but they hold the record for software updates on smartphones - 10 years for the iPhone 5s. Here we are, in 2023, and Google is coming around to seven years of support. Apple has done at least seven since 2013.

In any case I applaud this move and at least five years should be mandated by law. I wonder how many "random manufacturer drops a cheap Android on the market and walks away on software and support" Android devices there are sitting in landfills across the globe. Of course there are plenty of Apple devices as well but it's not due to lack of support.
I just read about that yesterday
Just go to Home page, click PHP, then it is the 3rd result (#171 PR on OpnForm)

Looking again at it, it seems like maybe you are trying to show there is a claim on it by having a profile picture off to the right of it of the person with the PR active? But I have no idea how anyone would infer that readily.
Historically you are careful with free shipping to ensure the loss is less than say a retail cut of the price.

That is why minimum orders were so popular, if it cost say $8 to ship something and a retail margin is 15% I can do the math on a break even point where it is a wash or better for the vendor.
> > > A woman can choose to decouple having sex with getting pregnant.

> > Minor point: Unless that act is criminalized or mad illegal or otherwise inaccessible

> Who is trying to make condoms illegal?

It would seem fairly obvious to me that the original poster of that comment was referring to either abortions or the morning after pill, not condoms. A condom would be a man choosing to decouple sex with having a baby, and I suppose an argument could be made that it's both partners' choice (by proxy of the consent from the woman.) And I suppose another argument could be made that there are condoms that women wear, but those generally seem to not be recommended compared to the male-worn variety.

Not that this is an important distinction. I just thought it a stretch that they were talking about condoms and you took it there.
There are 2 types of people. No, not actually, there is a continuum of the feeling of 'just getting by'/low motivation. Many people exist on the side of low motivation and those on the other side don't understand them.

I'm not advocating for it, just making the observation that it seems like it happens elsewhere and seems to be reasonably realistic. Gangs providing "protection" for money is a relatively normal thing, yes? I use quotes here since you're also buying protection from the gang itself.

But could you really be prosecuted if there was never any explicit discussion for getting rid of a tenant? Am I responsible for the unrequested criminal actions of a group that I also happen to pay? Is it racketeering if they offer other, legitimate services? These are all asked genuinely, I'm now morbidly curious if it's possible to get away with it, haha.
You think it's fair that someone should lose millions of dollars or go to jail because they didn't keep paperwork for a 50$ cash purchase they made a decade ago? In the early days of Bitcoin, a lot of the purchases were made peer-to-peer with cash. There were even websites called faucets that were literally giving it away.

I studied SC2 altogether far, far, too much from 2019-2022. Had a goal to get into masters, played tens of thousands of games, watched multiple YouTube videos every day, memorized and practiced dozens of build orders, but still got stuck at my peak in low diamond.

When you're playing that much and reviewing replays, you start wondering why you can't watch old replays with people coaching you and someone eventually ends up explaining the system to you.
As you may have heard, in the US at least, there’s record low unemployment. There’s literally not enough people to do those jobs. It’s complex why…

1. Demographic changes means more retirees, and smaller workforce. Literally less people to go around.

2. With low unemployment, everyone’s doing something else. Something harder to automate, or otherwise more valuable. It’s not like people are sitting around unemployed (except retirees).

What are they doing? It’s hard to know without combing through data in this moment, but people are surely avoiding minimum wage and low skill customer service jobs if alternatives exist in their area. Anecdotally, I hear people don’t like working in anything customer facing due to rude customers. I know someone in TX working at Amazon warehouses at an hourly rate much higher than retail workers rate. They used to work at a gym in rural California.

Until we get rising low-skill immigration to cover more of the low-wage work, expect service work to be understaffed. Or rising birth rates, or a drop in white collar workers.
>(and it is mostly boys)

I'd really like to see on what basis you're writing this when many other things point to either the opposite or the numbers being equal.

>because society's attitude towards checking out has become too lenient and soft to keep most these boys

Society has been actively shaming and demonizing men for decades now, trying to get them to accept working through what feels like an untraversable valley. A valley which was in many ways easier to traverse before. Society took away the incentives, and now tries to replace it with punishments. What do you propose that won't cause severe animosity in a group historically known to destroy societies when pushed to the edge?

The extremes aside, this is the reality behind most 'boys' checking out. Men are biologically wired to try and excel if they see opportunities. They aren't seeing them anymore.

I've read a version of this line of thinking many times.

You do realize that if a scientist could put up a reputable set of studies that disprove the central climate change theories that they would be set for life under a cavalcade of fossil fuel sponsorships. Not to mention that they would be a hero to most of the planet. They would be singlehandedly responsible for major policy shifts on the part of entire countries. There's a massive incentive for someone to convincingly disprove the negative effects of climate change.

If there is such a complete and totalizing suppression of actual inquiry in climate science, then why are there climate skeptics with positions in major universities? Why are major journalistic publications skeptical? It seems to me that there is quite a bit of a forum for debate on climate science, because everyone, including, probably, many climate scientists, would love for it to be wrong.

Your argument is based on your being completely convinced that a very large swath of people, many if not most of whom are parents like yourself, are acting in utter bad faith. Certainly any academic field, like any human endeavor, is subject to group think, but if you look at the very real scientific progress that's happened in the last several hundred years, you can see that the scientific approach, empirically, does lead to success, or at least disproves the notion that groupthink is likely to wholly capture a scientific field.

The politicization of the whole thing ("liberal morality") is also intriguing. I'm an unabashed liberal. If you put a convincing argument about how the climate would be fine in front of me, I would thank you a thousand times over.

As it stands, I've read so many arguments from climate skeptics, and they roughly follow the following templates:

* a wholesale belief that climate science is operating under a special kind of bad faith

* misunderstandings of things like the second law of thermodynamics (e.g. ignoring the atmosphere itself acting as a heat sink)

* belief that Professor Q is somehow right and all the other professors are wrong (probably because of the bad faith part), ignoring that Professor Q might also be subject to such things

* belief in government or corporate control over the discussion, ignoring the truly massive financial incentive to ignore climate science

* citations, usually exaggerations, of how many "climate predictions" have gone wrong, ignoring that science journalism and activists will often simplify and/or incorrectly cite studies in any field, because the public doesn't, in the end, understand the language of probability

That's not what the abstract appears to say. It is arguing that tea (specifically green tea or black tea candies) reduced the infectivity of people who already had Covid. It didn't argue that tea improved symptoms of people who were already infected.
Yeah, the current situation is pretty terrible. Deprecating the old credential-based auth flow, before adopting login.gov was a massive misstep. Five months ago I noticed the alert about deprecating the classic username/password auth, and posted about it [0].

As far as I know login.gov is a viable solution, already in use at the SSA, that is government-run aka doesn't require users to kowtow to an EULA, capricious arbitration, etc. The problem is there was apparently interagency squabbling that messed up the original deployment schedule.
So it's not available. I do hope that changes because the current situation, of mandatory id.me seems pretty terrible.

> most people really, really do not like that Winnie the Pooh is being expanded in the horror direction.

Those people can make the choice not to buy or consume those kinds of works. That's their right, but it does not and must not infringe on the rights of others who don't share their delicate sensibilities.

> Some are even calling for copyright to be eternal because the public is showing that it cannot handle public domain responsibly.

There is nothing at all irresponsible about artistic works that appeal to some people but not others. Outside of legal constraints, there is no one person or group dictating to the world which art is or isn't responsible and I'm so glad the decision of where those lines are drawn and when they should be crossed is largely left up to the artists when creating and to the audience when consuming. Artists and audiences self-censor all the time and it isn't a problem.

By way of example, when Gaiman was writing Neverwhere he thought it originally made running away and joining a underworld society of homeless people seem fun and magical, and he worried that making homelessness a bit too cool might inspire young readers to make poor choices. He made changes to his story until he felt comfortable with what he was putting out into the world. I think I'd have liked to read his original version, but I fully respect that he felt it would be irresponsible. Not every writer would have made that choice, and certainly not every writer should be forced to.

Every author should be free to decide for themselves if they're comfortable or not with their own words. Audiences should be free to walk away from things that make them too uncomfortable, and free to stay and enjoy what the artist created otherwise. The absolute worst case scenario would be one where the only art we ever have access to is a bunch of watered down, homogenized, G-rated content that doesn't confront or challenge anyone at all.

> There's even a growing argument that copyright actually prevents unoriginal ripoffs and shock content more than it stifles creativity.

I have no doubt that it does, at times, prevent some "ripoffs" or shock content, but I fail to see how censoring art to avoid those things is in any way preferable. The harm to society caused by censorship far outweighs the harm caused by "things exist that I don't like". It simply isn't worth the loss of our freedom to prevent "bad" art.

Worse, even perpetual copyright wouldn't eliminate those things entirely. Shock content, especially those created based on 'wholesome' artistic works has always been with us, and not even copyright has been able to stop it.
For just about every franchise you can imagine illegal artistic works created to satisfy 'Rule 34' exist and illegal fan fiction can be found filled with sex and gore. None of it has caused society to collapse. It won't destroy society when that art can be legally made and sold either.
