> This is slightly aside, but the concerns over fertility rates in the first world really seem REALLY misplaced to me.

Since the early days of humanity, we've relied on children taking care of us in our old age. I haven't seen a solution for that.

Nursing homes are not a solution. I listened to some grim statistics from my state recently. In many nursing homes, the ratio of staff to patients is 6:1. It takes 6 full time employees to take care of 1 patient. Now I'll grant that these numbers were outliers, because the population was challenging - many/most of these patients had dementia, etc. And they were handling rural areas - you'd get better scaling in the city. Still, I'm sure in a major metropolitan area it's at least 2:1.

And that doesn't account for the poor existence in those places (abuse by employees, abuse by fellow residents - you're screwed if you don't have family members advocating for you).

And that's for patients who get to go. Many elderly will have chronic conditions which are bad enough that you can't live alone, but generally not bad enough for Medicare or health insurance to pay for assisted living. Examples are things like mobility issues - only long term health care insurance covers this, and it's way too expensive. I don't own such a policy and likely won't ever be able to afford it.
Countless people play the at the casinos, online poker games, bets - even the stock market is viewed by a lots of people as something of a gamble.

Personally I don't partake - but they get a value in it, I guess. Who am I to judge?

Grim from an economic perspective, perhaps. Meanwhile, the biggest thing you can do to impact climate change is have fewer children.
I highlighted "Iran-Israel" and searched, and one of the top links is this Al-Jazeera article: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/6/iran-and-israel-fro...

> Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, brought about a new worldview that predominantly championed Islam and argued for standing up to “arrogant” world powers and their regional allies, who would oppress others – including Palestinians – to serve their own interests.

> This meant that Israel became known in Iran as the “Little Satan” to the “Great Satan” that is the US.

> “To overcome both the Arab-Persian divide and the Sunni-Shia divide, Iran adopted a much more aggressive position on the Palestinian issue to brandish its leadership credentials in the Islamic world and to put Arab regimes allied with the United States on the defensive,” he said.

> The two are alleged to be behind a long series of attacks on each other’s interests within and outside their soils, which they publicly deny. This has become known as a “shadow war” that has increasingly spilt out into the open as hostilities grew.

> Tehran opposes US hegemony in the Middle East while Israel has consistently pushed back against any efforts in Washington to bring American troops home from the region. Iran-linked groups have regularly attacked US bases in Iraq and Syria.

> It’s a “rivalry for dominance and power in the region, the two states have been embroiled in a low-level war for more than a decade,” said Parsi.
Yes. The higher the risk free rate goes, the more compelling the return potential must be to attract investment. Easy opportunities to arbitrage dry up.

Surprise, surprise.

The historical housing bubble was caused by artificially low interest rates adopted worldwide. Ever-increasing housing prices is bad for people who own homes (higher property taxes, property tax distortions across cities, higher fees when changing houses) and those who don't own any. Low interest rates discourage saving and encourage unproductive speculation and house flipping.

The people benefitting from the status quo are only those who make money off trading and borrowing fees (banks, realtors), and the occasional person who left a high price area to a low price area.

Ironic since this revolution was fomented by the CIA.

The CIA deposed the elected leader (people forget Iran was a secular democracy), and put in a puppet Shaw, which then the population revolted against.

So we are friendly with Israel, but only up to a point, if they get in the way, and are hit with some 'splatter', so be it.
Open-source QBasic revival for Android
I see the edit wars. But I don’t see the suffering quality. A lot of posts on controversial topics quickly get locked down so the wars slow down too.
That is a device that belongs in the trash. I have always bought the cheaper Sony TVs ($600 to $700) and never experienced anything like that. All I ever do is use the Apple TV remote and it just turns the TV on directly to that.
That's a lot more than four sticks.
I believe it's about integration with RCS. Now, I don't know much about rcs but presumably it's similar in features to imessage. So Google wants Apple to adopt RCS so you can send "blue" messages to others outside Apple's network.

Edit: minor punctuation.
So it's not adfree at all? That's all I see on my tv with Android TV as well.

> How did Iran-Israel relations even get this bad to begin with?

The US destroyed the regime in Iraq whose location and simultaneous hostility toward Israel and Iran was a mitigator working against the other forces driving Israel and Iran against each other, as it often gave Israel and Iran common interests.
You're arguing the merits of the policy; of course that's what the debt ceiling is.

But this has no bearing on the debate around who has sovereignty over deciding things.

"That's bad, and the Fed intervening is therefore good" does not dispute its anti-democratic nature.
We have 8,000 years of continuous history, and just barely. We pretend this is linear improvements of human coordination where we just got around to being cognitive enough for anything we do sometime over the last 700 years. I reject this idea completely.

I’m personally not surprised if there are other 8,000 year periods of human coordination and stability to pursue complex ideas. Across, what, now 200,000 years?

I can see the limitations of collecting the evidence involved in perceiving that, and I dont need to wait around for that to believe it. Preteens doing graffiti in caves have preserved art. I dont think it is any indication of human progression at that point in time.
> Crypto was being adopted by consumers though, there was a boom at one point that it was incredibly common to see bitcoin ATM's or signs that stores would accept bitcoin. I even remember a bitcoin credit card or something that lets you use your bitcoin anywhere. That stuff wouldn't have been done if it wasn't being used.

The trail of broken crypto startups serve as counter evidence. There were plenty of merchants initially dragged in by the appeal of cutting out at least Visa/Mastercard's cut, and in many cases governments too.

And then the consumer adoption wasn't there, and the prices for merchants were also too high, so many ripped them out again.
The new phones aren’t more compelling than the one I already have. I have an iPhone 11 Max Pro and it’s been great since 2019, the newest iPhones just aren’t compelling to upgrade, and I’m also not wanting to make that usb-c leap because all my accessories are currently lightning based.

we use to have those but now there are underground containers. My card can open the one in my street and 2 around the corner. If one is full sooner than planned there is a phone number and they usually come pull it out of the ground in an hour, sometimes after 2 days. Happens every 2 year or so. Wonderful system, no garbage around the house.
Nope, never had that issue with them, only ebay
I see, that's interesting. I do run a mixed WPA2 and WPA3 WiFi network, that would explain why they were happy.

> That's a crypto-signed token you can use to verify you've pre-authorized the submission, not just some UUID. (You could do it with UUIDs if you keep a list, but ... don't)

I'm struggling to remember the exact details here, but I believe Drupal 7 does what I described and just keeps a big list (expiry on entries set to 6 hours) in their database. I remember having issues with it getting very large when we had issues with bad scrapers hammering our site. Part of the issue though is that Drupal tracks the entire form (in order to prevent form tampering issues) and not just the UUID, which makes the table much larger than necessary for the use case of preventing CSRF and double-submits.

The medical certifications are mostly about design & risk control, there isn't really (currently) the same set of toolchain certs you see in e.g. aerospace. Some places do use them as a shorthand for "our documentation & testing here is minimal, because we use X certified tools and/or standards" but it isn't required for CFR21 or 13485.
I disagree. It suffers from overregulation. How is a person possible able to sell their own house without doing some bullshit thing wrong and making an illegal sale?

Nope. They should make money without spying on users and abusing their privacy. If they can not do it, then they should not exist, simple as that. Basic human rights should not be taken away in no case.
The lead author on this paper first surfaced these claims in 2013, and later that year published a book called “ Plato Never Lied: Atlantis Is In Indonesia”.

Reading the actual paper, I’m having a tough time visualizing the “sculpted” aspects of Unit 4. This is supposedly the volcanic core that was carved bw 20k and 15k BC. Based on the dating of the other layers, it seems much more likely that a volcano erupted there like 50k years ago and slowly eroded, right? Hilman’s got that diagram of the site labeled with “tunnel” and maybe that’s a translation thing, but the tunnel is right where you’d expect a volcanic conduit to be. He also uses the suggestive term “chamber” elsewhere. There’s no debate that this is an old volcano btw, and no debate that there is an interesting ancient structure (500 AD) on top of the hill. It’s the “carved” internal structure that seems like a big big stretch.
I missed that, updated with a different brand.
> Finally, as the article points out, you still to write JS to prevent double submits even when using the disabled attribute. It's used as a quick hack rather than any sort of "submitting" semantics, so there's nothing lost recreating it with CSS.

Eh, disabling an entire form submit is easy.

Developers who manually replicate built-in browser features though and manually duplicate those features through CSS have far more opportunities to make mistakes and make inaccessible forms that don't account for keyboard focus vs click focus, different input methods, etc...

The article is correct in the sense that it doesn't matter what the correct behavior is, if you want to build an accessible site for browsers as they exist today then you have to care about this. But it's still the fault of the browsers if developers are working around browser quirks because the built-in semantics that the browser exposes provide a bad UX. Ideally, over time, those quirks should be fixed within browsers, although of course doing so on the web is very complicated.
I thought the main distinction between web 1.0 and 2.0 was that 1.0 sites are operated and created (content written by) by the same people, whereas 2.0 sites are mostly content from the users of a site.

I welcome critical points of view but the fact remains that few are allowed to even see posts like this, much less discuss them with logic.

> If it requires you to use a special app to pair and/or access features, then it (probably) has spyware in it.

There's an extreme minority of Bluetooth audio devices which have apps. And even in those extreme outliers, the app is optional. The headphones still pair to Bluetooth devices without issues, or else it is not using Bluetooth. I've used >50 different bluetooth audio devices over the years, 0 ever needed some kind of app to pair. Suggesting Bluetooth has some baked-in spyware is absolutely untrue; There's no baked-in spyware to the Bluetooth audio stack. The Bluetooth audio stack has no built-in way to enforce the app.

It really shows your extreme biases though stating such wild untruths like Bluetooth has baked-in spyware and DRM.
Yeah, which is why I use the paid version of ChatGPT still, instead of the free Google Bard or Bing AI; I've gotten good enough at coercing the GPT-4 model to give me the stuff I want.

Honestly, $20/month is pretty cheap in my case; I feel like I definitely extract much more than $20 out of it every month, if only on the number of example stubs it gives me alone.
Notability isn't the same as credibility. Blue checks used to be useful so that you knew whether or not the person you were interacting with was who they said they were and had some cultural importance.
The important thing is 'not during testing'.

Its funny how people take Wikipedia at face value. Happened in a local newspaper the other day, it said something slightly wonky and referenced a Wikipedia article as the source, which in turn referenced a wonky Youtube video as it's source for that info.
Yeah, it seems rooted in the intersection of ideology/tribalism and realpolitik. You would expect Sunni powers to head the opposition to Israel, as 99% of Palestinians are Sunni, but Saudi Arabia, the chief sponsor of Sunni militant groups, has had a long unofficial working relationship with Israel. Partly because of mutual animosity towards Iran.

It’s a scam on the investors. The users might see some value, but the business is worthless.
I don't disagree with you, since the company I work for supports both local network access to their devices as well as cloud access for when you are outside the home. But supporting both does not simplify business logic, it increases complexity. It introduces more states and failure points that your firmware devs and app devs need to account for.
It really isnt that bad. I lived in an apartment building in Bozeman, MT for 3 years that had an enclosed courtyard. It was pretty small and didnt get a huge amount of use anyway, so it isnt the best comparison, but overall people just sorta make do if they want to use it.

You grab a shovel and clear out a bit of snow in front of the doorway to it, and then do whatever you want outside in the snow. Snowball fights, build snowmen, even bring out a bbq if you want.

I could see how people would imagine that things like this wouldnt work well in a wintery climate, but overall Ive found that people just make do. They live with snow everywhere else outside, so why wouldnt they do the same in a courtyard?
I'm pretty sure (but I don't know) that high up there's no real "airspace" issue, but I'm curious where the missile was intercepted. Was it over water? Or one of the intervening countries (I'm guessing without a map: Yemen, SA, Jordan, or Israel).
“your solution requires a dismantling of the entire global system of governments and economies and the implementation of something new and poorly tested.“

So the system we currently have, which we already agree is failing people here, but we’re worried changing the system is bad?

Letting millions of people in is NOT GOOD for the people already here. I say we just don’t do that.

The only people benefitting are part of a global capital class and not regular workers. We were sold that it would bring worldwide peace and better living conditions. It was a lie and we know it - why continue?
The article doesn't mention this, but if you are going to build your own disabled state, at the very least include an aria-disabled attribute on your button. See Mozilla docs on the subject, which mention this exact same scenario: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/A...

Using pure-CSS and data-attributes without additional indicators doesn't help low-vision users; the only thing they'll be able to tell is that click doesn't work on some of your buttons, they won't be able to see the CSS or non-semantic attributes that say the button is disabled. If you're getting rid of browser semantics, you need to include the relevant aria semantics to compensate.

The trail doesn’t exactly counter it if there was a lot of consumer use and then it died.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seemed like there were a lot of people talking about it and in it (same with NFT) and then it plummeted.

That’s why I kinda felt like AI is the same. The bubble is going to pop as we hit limitations on what this can actually do.

But I will also admit that some of this could be living within a tech bubble.
Oh wow. Norway and Sweden sound like heaven for apartment living. (Or Valhalla, as the case may be.)
For me the disabled button on a partially-valid Form say, is a metaphor-overload.

Whilst a physical button may be disabled to indicate being functional-but-not-ready, in software one doesn't have to show/display them until they are ready for action. If the Form is partially valid, show a Message instead of a Button, then when it is valid, pop the Action button clearly on display.

Personally I like to leave the button enabled, check the Action can be performed (form valid etc), and notify the User of errors, progress etc. It's better to communicate with the User exactly, than imply messages - it's a form, not a puzzle or an opportunity to play physical jokes on the User (gotcha, can't press this!).
This article is weird af. It is simultaneously arguing against identity politics but framing it as dangerous to a specific demographic, Jewish people. It uses identity politics to argue identity politics bad. If Bari Wiess was raised as colorblind as she claimed why is she talking about disproportionate danger to the Jewish people?
New tech often comes with a completely new nomenclature. Existing language is just to cumbersome to use when every second word requires explanation because it is a new concept.
