Once there was another republic and empire. It also had a Senate, the original one. In this republic populism became also strong, there were even civil wars. Later strong army leaders removed the republic (and then reinstated it on paper). It was not necessarily a dark time for their minions (Pax Augusta). In the end the empire broke down in the west. Much later also in the east, but some say it lives on in the Russian empire (for example Putin). Often enough in history though if a society moved fast in one direction, it would regress to the mean. We'll see.

One really shitty thing is that people keep inventing those badly-though protocols like OAuth, and yet nobody (as in no browser) ever implemented LDAP over the web.
A while back I decided to see a movie in theaters after a night out and it was allegedly the billionth iteration of some horror franchise (Scream I think? Maybe Halloween?). Turned out to not even really be a horror movie, but some dopey drama/romance. Waste of my money, but thankfully it wasn’t much money.
Just want to add to this -- sometimes the sex is so gratuitous and over the top that it's distracting from the meaning and message of the show. I'm looking at you, Sense8 -- the one show where doing the above actually made sense.

Why no magnetic field then?
This is "burst wave lithotripsy," compared to the somewhat-similar existing "shock wave lithotripsy." The new iteration apparently works more quickly and causes less pain, so can be performed while the patient is awake rather than requiring general anesthesia, which would make it practical to do it in, say, an ER or regular doctor's office. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10117400/#sec2t... for a comparison of the mechanisms.
I don’t have any real data to back this up, and idk how you’d look at this, but I’d be curious if they wanted less sex or if the real issue is the gratuity. We’ve been in a period for a while (perhaps due to streaming services not having the same regulations and standards as TV) where being serious and “real”, being a “mature comedy”, etc is in, and a shortcut to that is to show sex and use curse words, so you see a lot of TV shows especially doing that instead of making sure it fits well in the story. I feel like nearly every Netflix show I've checked out has let the F bombs fly to the degree that it sticks out to me, someone who swears like a sailor
Except Mars has already had total life annihilation, so I'm not sure what the point of using that as your argument is...

Stick a few people on an already-annihilated planet where they will never become self-sufficient, anyways?

If you want humanity to escape vulnerability on earth, your best bet is to not go into another gravity well at all. Esp one with no ionosphere, thin unusable atmosphere, brutal storms, and toxic fine sand everywhere.

The moon makes a lot more sense -- easier to manage shipping/trade with earth, no gravity well. And if you need off a planetary body completely, build orbitals.

Also many life-terminating events for earth -- local (galactic region) supernovae or other mass irradiating event, our own sun flaming out, etc. would just do the same to Mars.
Is the secret to just watch Repo Man on repeat? I think you have a point.

Please excuse the rounding in my earlier comment.

Edit to add: the table above is from Walmart grocery. We buy meat and most fruits and vegetables elsewhere, so except for the frozen fish, this list excludes most protein. If you just eat Costco rotisserie chicken, you would not have noticed a price increase.

PS to the edit: besides removing duplicates the list above is a raw combination of food items on two receipts without exclusions.
I'm telling you that meat eating and fast fashion are not "global 1% issues". You are the one who brought up Americans, not me or the other guy. Meat eating isn't a 1% thing whether you're looking at the global 1% or the American 1%; meat is consumed by almost everybody in the lower 99% no matter which way you slice it.
Ooh, this sounds good. I've had kidney stones a couple of times. It was not very fun.
What about from an Integrator or VAR? Would you buy it then?
Have you been to a restaurant lately? 50% increase is not an exaggeration.

Food? So many items are insane. Costco popcorn. I buy that all the time for my kids. Pre-pandemic it was about $9 (maybe 10). Now it's $16/17.

Bag of chips? $5-6 for less

My healthcare premiums went up 20% last year- I don't even want to look what it's going to cost next year.

>CPI does include food, fuel, and housing costs

You can say that all you want, but however they are doing it just doesn't translate to reality for most people.

> US has better age demographic distribution than UK

I can believe that. Japan's even worse off, wonder what they're gonna do...

> The net tax burden on an average UK person is way higher compared to US while having worse average wages. Quick googling shows per capita income tax collected in US is $15K, while in UK it is $21K

It's a bit trickier than that, because some of the same services (like healthcare) are still paid by the typical consumer in the US, it just doesn't show up in their taxes. $6k/year might actually just cover the premiums for a small family (what you pay the insurer before you use any services). Using that healthcare would be way more expensive.

I think a fairer comparison would be discretionary income (disposable income minus cost of living expenses like housing, healthcare, food, education), etc. Unfortunately that data isn't easy to find, and definitions differ, but without considering all of those, it's not really apples-to-apples just to look at taxation rates.

The average person is more affected by "how much money do I have left to spend after the essentials" than "am I paying the government or a private company for these essentials".
Maybe a different carrier with different coverage?

I'm also wondering if Find My will save the "find", including GPS coordinates at the time, and report it out when it has connection?
I can't hear you. I'm using the scrambler.

Huge engineering cost though. If most of your customers are on mobile, makes sense to optimize for mobile, and hope its "good enough" on desktop.

At the end of the day its all an ROI problem (as are most things)
Gold is probably also not valuable enough on a per volume or per weight basis to offset the transport costs.

We'd need something much more valuable, although the usual go-to, diamonds, also wouldn't work since it's a highly controlled market.

At that point you're in exotic materials territory. Maybe a natural source of Californium which on Earth is only produced in reactors or particle accelerators, and actually has industrial uses? Even if its price dropped substantially, we'd probably find new uses for the new supply and the stuff costs millions of USD per gram.
Look I'll sing LDAP's praises when it's appropriate but this really isn't it. It's less of SSO and more "Same Password Everywhere" which are not at all the same experience from the user perspective. It also teaches your users to plug their creds into random login screens instead of the one-true-login-page they can verify is us.

Like as hackers we make fun of the phishing training that teaches you to avoid sketchy links in emails while simultaneously the real emails have the sketchiest links of all time. Using LDAP for this use-case is our version of that.
Just to be clear: this is not a comparison with previous generations.

The headline and intro led me to believe this is a dip -- e.g. that young people 5 or 10 or 20 years ago liked the amount of sex, but young people today don't.

But that's not what the survey shows. All it shows is that people aged 13-24 today want less of it.

It may very well be the case that this isn't anything specific to Gen Z at this age, and that this was equally the case of 13-24 year olds 20 and 30 years ago. TV and film has been pretty sexualized for a long time. There is zero evidence in this study to indicate anything new.

And that website does nothing. It’s just text, and it has one image that’s too small on a mobile view.

Now try to do the same thing with a complex app like your bank’s website, which needs to handle every type of account including credit cards, checking accounts, and investment accounts, rewards, and a travel/shopping portal.
Right, I'm just speaking for the "highly skilled" working class here.

To put it into perspective, in Germany you might make 4k/month as a highly educated, highly skilled worker with years of experience. Even if you work remote (most don't) you won't be able to find a decent small house even in the middle of nowhere below 500k.
We really should be working on artificial gravity via spinning. It solves so many issues.

I know smaller craft can’t do this but we can always do a long tether with a counterweight.

(My personal pet idea is to go for super low gravity like .05G to start out to simplify things. You still get to walk around, go to the bathroom, spill liquids and clean up, cook, etc. )
> Contribution can't be measured perfectly but it can be estimated with some accuracy by people who are involved in day-to-day work

This is handwaving in the extreme. Anyone involved in software development knows that a single line of code can be critical to success or failure, as can a blob of 100k LOC, so product-quantity metrics are of almost no use. The "estimate" you're talking about generally comes down to general "feelings" about who works hard, which have repeatedly been shown to be poor metrics for actual contributions.
Because on a daily basis, it doesn't affect me. Personally. I don't care. That's the honest answer.

On days I do care, I have my means to be undetected.
When the ads bother me, I switch on the pihole. Some sites don't work with pihole enabled so sometimes it's either off or I create exceptions. But I like Chrome. The convenience I get from chrome is invaluable to me. No other browser can give me that exactly. But all of the above are based on MY decisions. I chose to use X or to ignore Y. When a site decides that for me, well... I just walk away.

> Sure, it probably does deny Google some data, but you really think Apple doesn't collect data for itself?

You can read their privacy policy. It's possible they are lying about what data they collect, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense seeing as their business model is not built around it like Google's is.
> Well humans can do many things, a robot cannot.

True.

For example: suffocating, starving, dying of thirst, getting sick, suffer psychologic breakdowns, having their bodies deteriorate due to low gravity,...

Robots cannot do any of these things.
Like that scene from the JFK movie where Donald Sutherland's character is going through a long check list of all the things the secret service would have done.

After looking into a bit, I think you're right about the impetus of the national highway system. But, while rail is more efficient way to move materiel, it's also less flexible and more vulnerable. I think in that aspect, a highway system is probably preferable.

Scientific American is not a trustworthy or worthwhile publication. It is yet another outlet that has been captured by ideologues. See the recent controversy about their article entitled, “ The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong”.
Well it took Columbus 2 months and 9 days to get across the Atlantic. He never made it to India, which was his original goal. The first expedition from Europe to India via the ocean was by Vasco da Gama and it took him around 10 months.

Earth to the moon is 240,000 miles. Earth to Mars at it's closest approach is 34 million miles. So this would be like telling Columbus to sail not for 2 months and 9 days, but for 27 years to get to India. He wasn't even willing to sail for 10 months to do it! (Also bear in mind that's the one-way timeframe; the return from Mars would be about twice as long in this scenario.)

And not only that but also let Columbus know there won't be any gold, spices, or slaves at the end of the trip. See how willing he is to dedicate the next 81 years of his life to it.

Hopefully this puts the interplanetary distance in perspective.
You're more than correct.

In practice, working in small and medium organizations, I have met very few UX designers. Instead I have met plenty of graphical designers that know almost nothing about UX design. I've been at places where I - as a backend developer - know more about practical UX design than anyone on the design team.

I think the reason why we have "bad mobile first design with awful desktop UX" is because very few of the people designing these experiences are UX designers.

I was surprised the article didn't highlight the horror show that is Vector22 at Wikipedia, a design so colossally bad that after three years of suck costs the only path to saving face was to make it the default theme for all users: "Mission Accomplished!"

>Bing makes over $11 billion a year now though,

That ~$11 billion is revenue not profit. We'd have to compare Bing's lower profit numbers to the various reports ($4-$7 billion? $18 billion?) of Apple payments from Google.

Microsoft doesn't break out profit/loss for Bing in its financial reports so we (as outsiders) can't calculate an ROI. It's probable that Apple has enough inside info from Microsoft to determine if the ROI makes sense for them.

> Even amazon seems to do a lot to err on the side of "automatically make the customer happy"

I can't find the article now, but I read a piece about the volume of returns and what happens to them ("reverse logistics"). Basically, companies find it's more profitable to always allow returns and keep the customers happy -- and often, they'll let the customer keep the "returned" product because even if the product works 100%, the cost to ship and verify is below what they'll make reselling it.

I thought this was an interesting contrast to LL Bean, who a few years back decided to end their lifetime guarantee, and naturally upset some lifetime customers.
I feel like this company misses the point of cloud computing. Its mostly cost elasticity, not where your servers are physically located.

This feels like the rackspace approach
Ex....terminate! *suctions pillow*
The problem sadly isn't even mobile-first vs. desktop, but rather designers who still haven't figured out that the web is dynamic content that should be allowed to flow according to the user's display device size and shape. It's not and never has been a static medium like paper. It's not limited to a specific size and shape like paper, and should not be treated as if it were. Web "designers" should not be trying to force the content into any specific size or pixel resolution, as there's just too many different resolutions of screens and width vs. height layouts of those screens to ever be able to cover them all appropriately without adapting to the idea that the content must be able to flow accordingly. It also severely harms accessibility for folks with vision issues who might scale up their fonts to compensate if doing so causes the content to break in horrible ways that make it unreadable.
Say you stopped an ad driven web - what do you think will remain when nobody can afford to run anything at scale anymore? Would you be ok paying to use the web? I know I wouldn't.
I'm not good with kids, but teaching English to teens/young adults sounds like a really interesting idea. I'm technically somewhat bilingual too, so that might help. Good idea, thanks!

Well.. I've been using touch on my laptops since the start. My current laptop is a mini asus "tablet pc" with detachable keyboard. When I'm just web browsing I detach the keyboard and use touch. But even on normal laptops I got from work I'd prefer touch for many things like scrolling over the built in touchpad.

Especially when I'm using the laptop as a portable device on my lap, in a plane or on a bus.

I have to admit I don't use touchscreens that much when I can put a laptop on top of a desk. But when I'm sitting at a desk I much prefer a desktop pc.
I want to keep it this way. I like seeing beautiful women on the show, so as long as it's not every minute, it adds to my enjoyment.
I look for this sort of comment bobbing in the middle of a sea of hot takes by commenters who almost certainly have not read the article, but are compelled to weigh in on what they assume it is about. "Tomorrow, these GDP numbers will be out of date, but my hot takes about the U.S. are immortal!"
Since everyone is sharing, I'm using bookmarklets daily, the
main ones being 3x and 2x, which find the video element in the current
page and speed it up.

I also made some overlay grid helpers, like 8h and 8v
which create some overlay pass through elements and render red
grid lines(8px spacing) using css. This is like an alignment tool for every page.

The bad thing is that Chrome and Edge don't highlight bookmarks by
default when searching and makes one to type the top arrow key. Firefox used to be better in this regard, with the bookmarklet highlighted and ready to hit.
The workaround for Chrome and Edge is to make the bookmarklet a search engine,
that makes the bookmarklet selected by default.

Bookmarklets and custom search engines (for various online documentation
sites, or plain jira, or aws) can be a productivity booster.

I wouldn't be able to navigate aws ssm without my trusty ssm search engine.
Same for the others: EC2, CF, S3.

I should be using bookmarklets more though.

I don't usually use bluetooth _that much_ so I didn't think about it. My cousin's truck was around, which was indeed paired with the phone - but it would have been a bit more cumbersome to use in the search anyways.

The C4 compiler [https://github.com/rswier/c4] is a self-hosting compiler for a subset of the C programming language that produces executable x86 code. You can understand and audit this code in a couple of hours (its 528 lines).

It could be an interesting exercise to bootstrap up from something like this to a working linux environment based solely on source code compilation : no binary inputs. Of course a full linux environment has way too much source code for one person or team to audit, but at least it rules out RoTT style binary compiler contamination.
Apple’s customer service experience isn't nearly as nightmarish as your typical CS experience.

The wait times seem nonexistent, and you can schedule a callback at a time of your choosing so you can skip the line entirely.

That said, my personal favorite is just texting them over iMessage.
No waiting, no reading off serial numbers and hoping the representative heard you correctly over a phone line with ancient audio quality, and no symmetrical communication that requires you to devote all your attention to the conversation.

Simply get it done on your own time.
