> The third most magnificent thing is it stopped whilst it was awesome

The last couple of years of C&H featured increasing criticism of modern society (e.g. modern art, advertising) that seemed rather grumpy and “old man yells at cloud”. Sure, Watterson stopped before the strip could have gone in an overtly sociopolitical direction like some of its peers, but the strip was no longer quite as timeless and innocent as it had been.

Here’s a rabbit hole to go down on that theme - https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk

That’s my second favorite YouTube video. I love how it reveals some universal primitives are really complicated. The pattern in the video is as fundamental to the universe as circles are. Imagine how many other mind-boggling structures are ubiquitous but just outside our understanding.
I am glad the letter he signed recognized that "there is no contradiction between staunchly opposing the Israeli subjugation and occupation of Palestinians and unequivocally condemning brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. In fact, every consistent leftist must hold both positions simultaneously"

His take is more balanced than that of many others who are in the thick of it and for whom the stakes are real.

I think his criticism of the letter signed by the actors, however, falls a bit short of the mark, at least based on what is quoted here.
Sure, but it makes the headline here very misleading.
But I think this news is important for another reason, too. It’s strong evidence that cash prizes — even relatively modest ones like $10,000 — are effective in producing new historical knowledge.

$10k modest? I think that is more than most bug bounties, even quite serious ones. Part of the reason the payouts are low or why this is not done more often, is because there is too much work involved relative to to the opportunity cost. It's basic econ. The $40k prize for deciphering a word was an especially 'good deal' but most prizes are worse. It's also cheaper to have an expert on payroll doing work everyday than one-time payouts.
It is true. It created an incentive for people to avoid putting pseudoephedrine in things because most people weren't going to buy a formulation that they had to go to the counter for.

> How exactly they cared about surface?

I think I found someone who dislikes Microsoft more than I do. Nice to meet you:-) LOL

Seriously... you are mostly correct about the hardware deficiencies, I won't argue this. The surface line started off very badly but... it engaged. To this date, I don't think you can even get Linux running on any of them w/o some effort.

Mine's was a quick comment and had more to do with Microsoft redefining the hybrid Tablet/Laptop market. It was, I think the only time that I could recall, when they finally took the lead on something. Some hiccups, of course, but overall an industry defining success. It was odd - for me - to see Microsoft leading the field in anything.

I always saw MS as a company that envied someone else's innovation and tried to replicate that success. From Office Programs early on, AOL competitor, VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3 competitor, Gaming, Browsers... the list is nearly exhaustive.

Even small things like sound formats, image formats... they needed to upend someone else's established format and replace it with their own. Even their original OS - DOS - wasn't theirs but a hacked version of someone else's effort.

I'm certain you know their history (comment meant for some others reading this).

Finally with Surface, they designed and helped re/define the Tablet/Laptop market in a design pleasing way. They also added Surface Studio - which I thought was very effective. I remember seeing videos on their thought processes, who they consulted when they created Surface Studio. After years of envisioning brutes, they presented themselves as polished professionals during these formative 'Surface' years.

Just wanted to expand on my previous quick comment for clarification.
To me it seems that you are putting yourself in a box. If you legally have the same rights you are no longer an immigrant. You are "one of them".

Based on your rationale you can end-up with race discrimination and nazi stuff. (e.g even if you are born in the same country your parents were immigrants so you are still a kind of non-native and so on).

The cultural issue goes both ways. The wave of immigration may make the natives feel discriminated as well. That doesn't make them "immigrants".

> Show ID... [...] (not all of us drive or have a driver license).

Your objection is irrelevant. States give photo IDs which are just like drivers licenses except they don't say "drivers license", you don't have to pass any driving tests, and you can't drive with them. Otherwise they look and work the same and every employee trained to look at drivers licenses will accept them without hesitation.
It's difficult to program an autonomous vehicle to handle this correctly, sure. That doesn't mean an average human driver wouldn't have done better. Of course a human driver wouldn't just keep driving to pull over after hitting a pedestrian and not being able to see where they went.

I respect what you are saying. I just believe that moral posturing as a pretense for more death of innocents is a compounding effect that is always greater than the initial sin. It would be much more honest just to say “well here comes the boom MFers” (which seems to be the posture of Israeli govt). Now if that same moral posturing was pretense for greater compassion or reconciliation (eg OMG we have come to this, something must change), then that would be ideal. But I think most like OP, especially those affected by the actions of Hamas (I include myself in that camp) would find responding with compassion to be absurd. Yet I believe the long tail of events will reveal these horrible actions to be yet another flashpoint, precisely because the shock of perpetual violence jumps from one tragedy to the next.

Ironically now with AI art tech the fans themselves can now carry on the series as they like (including making animated flicks). Not saying this wouldn't violate C&H's IP protections nor that the resulting product will have the same essence but a creative+technically inclined fan tinkering in spare time now has the power to create an all new 'Calvin & Hobbes book' of their dreams. Even if they want to just do it for fun on their own.

Of course, if you were to put in enough effort to make a complete book (ie- 100+ page Sunday comic collections) that could stand among the rest in the original series probably best to adjust your art style, theme and content enough away from the original to make what you are doing essentially a spiritual successor - enabling you to comfortably share it with the outside world.
Watterson himself was inspired by comic strips from the early 20th century. There were no cartoons or film adaptations of those around, but nevertheless they remained around for him to discover through books.

> Ibuprofen is probably the safest option?

Are you kidding? Ibuprofen like most NSAIDS is terrible on the GI tract and the kidneys. People with healthy kidneys are usually fine with short courses, but even people with relatively mild chronic kidney disease should avoid NSAIDs.

People in their 20s that overuse NSAIDs end up needing kidney transplants. it's not that uncommon.
The most common cause of peptic ulcer disease of this demographic (affluent westerners) after H pylori is NSAID use.

> It has fallen out of favor because it's known to cause an exceedingly rare but deadly syndrome in a tiny percentage of children

This has really nothing to do why aspirin has less common use among adults. Aspirin has poor analgesic effects relative to the doses and the risks of GI complications.

> acetaminophen results in tons of hospitalizations every year.

The impact of NSAID related complications is far greater in terms of kidney transplants and upper endoscopy interventions, and related ICU stays.
This has got to be a huge relief for Waymo. Cruise's atrocious safety was bad press for Waymo every single time it hit the news, and would be a significant contributor to local sentiment against all AVs. It's like OpenAI; when you're leading in a product category and your name is synonymous with the tech, other people's failures with the technology make you look bad.

Ah. Those government stats only count homes as having loft insulation if they have more than 125mm of it (this is actually documented in the PDF you linked but it's all the way on page 24 so if you just read the summary you probably missed that). In practice there are a lot of UK homes out there with loft insulation that falls short of that because there's rapidly diminishing returns from adding more and it's a lot of extra hassle to put insulation in that's deeper than the joists. Those homes have much, much worse return on investment on adding loft insulation than a house which genuinely didn't have any.

For options to be available, you need regulations. Today without regulations there is no OS that would provide a single checkbox like "show only content appropriate for N year old". It seems that there is no motivation for device and OS manufacturers to invest into implementing such options and filters.

I sustained traumatic injuries a few months ago when a driver on a suspended learner's permit hit me. The lazy cop issued no tickets for the multiple traffic violations.

It's as if it officially never happened.

I actually had lunch with one of the co founders during my interview process. I got a bad vibe from the whole thing and said no thanks.
It's justifiably characterized as biased. We lose a useful term for distinguishing normal bias from marketing or PR instigated efforts. That's the point of the term astroturfing. It's useful in that regard. Or I suppose, if it's definition has truly shifted, was useful.
I agree that it's a bad idea to let kids do this, but... you can still smoke/drink at home if your parents let you.
Some people also don't do math well, or fall for sunk cost motivations. For example, they've already spent a bunch of money on equipment. I know someone who justified it to himself by claiming that the heat output in his house during the Winter reduced his heating bill, so the losses weren't as bad.
Hopefully AI can endlessly search for such things eventually.

I've heard it can damage the stomach lining if taken at the wrong time relative to eating. But yeah probably still the least-bad first-resort painkiller.
Most of those things have become subject to both government regulation and industry self-policing, and there’s continual debate over whether there needs to be more done and what shape it might take.

Just getting to that point with social media will be a big win.

The social media industry came on quick and got a free pass for a while, but it’s now more mature and needs to become more mindful of its social consequences just the same as other industries. Whether that needs to come through bans and regulation or can be achieved through voluntary self-restraint is up to the big players and their egos.
That's the problem. It is not working. It's great for big companies to stop their competitors, but not for actual innovation.

What I meant is that OS should have one simple option, not a complicated tree of settings made for sysadmins. And it should be reliable, and apply to all applications, so that you cannot insert a thumb drive with Firefox or Tor browser and enjoy uncensored Internet access.
The market is essentially just one step beyond basic snake oil. Instead companies mix various "approved" ingredients to create some branded concoction that they hope will stick from psychosomatic effects. For example "Excedrin" is just aspirin+acetaminophen+caffeine yet so many people swear by it rather than popping the two simple pills and considering if they really need another cup of coffee. The worst is when brand names are abused with suffixes to mean wildly different drugs, as if affinity for a corporate brand should come before consideration of the active ingredients.

Similar deceit happens with cleaning products, where "Clorox" spray or "Clorox" wipes aren't bleach at all. Rather the spray is just some mild acid (a poorer disinfectant), and the wipes are quat (aka "Lysol", makes your pets sick). This kind of thing should be patently illegal - any brand should be required to have consistent active ingredients.

Of course this isn't even considering the criminalization of well-working pseudoephedrine due to the government's dark ages persecution of drug-users-plus-everyone-else.

I took an environmental science class in college years ago. My memory is fuzzy but I do recall these sorts of cycles typically indicate an unhealthy ecosystem, where an outside factor has shifted the balance.

I wish I could remember in more detail...

If a kid is born with libertarians parents, should he suffer his whole life time just because hes born to retards?
