Good point.

> Python code has an average shelf life of four years.

Wouldn't that also be a problem for examples in print?
> Each one weighs 50-100x more than the old bags and I guarantee they aren't used proportionally more times.

Previously I'd get a bag from the shop which would be used that one time. Now, the "bag for life" I own has been used for years already. That's easily more than "50-100x more".

Founders should be doing sales (not leading it, doing it) until at least 1M ARR. That solves a lot of that issue.

Do you perhaps have muscle memory for the Ctrl+Shift+B shortcut that used to open a large side panel but now just shows a narrow horizontal bar?

I do and I'm certainly annoyed by this redesign, but I discovered the "manage bookmarks" shortcut Ctrl+Shift+O that opens a larger pop-up window with your bookmarks, which so far seems almost as comfortable as the old side panel.

It also lets you search for bookmarks and right-clicking to select "show in folder" in the context menu shows you where in the hierarchy it is. (Though all my bookmarks are in "other bookmarks", so I don't expect to be using this much.)

The purpose of motivational videos is to sell advertising targeting the sort of person who watches motivational videos. That's it. Shouldn't be taken at all seriously (or watched at all, really).

I did laugh out loud because I did not know WHAT to make of the comment. As someone who buttered my bread on PHP when everyone hated it, it was a sign of how times have changed!
> We’ve identified your Wyze account as one that was affected. This means that thumbnails from your Events were visible in another Wyze user’s account and that a thumbnail was tapped. Most taps enlarged the thumbnail, but in some cases it could have caused an Event Video to be viewed.

Kudos to Wyze for doing the things noted in the thread like being honest and prompt with notification etc, but "thumbnails from your Events were visible... and that thumbnail was tapped" is a pretty mealy-mouthed way to say "another person saw your private pictures and videos taken with your Wyze cameras"
No “we” haven’t. Half of the ultra rich and the cadre of their supporters have, while most Americans have always though this was stripping them of their wealth and destroying their communities. To the point when offshoring began they were told every lie about how this would be a benefit to them.

You can joke about Trump, but he may get elected again. Which means this position won't change, at least for 9 months + let's say 1 year, potentially for 5 years, and we don't know where we'll be then.

> The majority of members advising the UN want it regulated, sure, and that's a sensible position due to unforeseen risks and the fossil fuel industry using a small amount of geoengineering that counters a portion of the problem as an excuse to double down on activity that continues to cause most of the problem.

Yeah, but read between the lines: they don't want it regulated, they want it outlawed, and, at least to a significant extent. They want it outlawed, firstly because if it isn't outlawed their power will disappear. And secondly, because no matter how you change the climate, it'll have the same problem any large infrastructure seems to have. Geoengineering WILL be incredibly good for some regions (who therefore may choose the lone wolf approach), AND will have devastating consequences for other regions. Someone will benefit greatly, someone will suffer.

And, frankly, if we're being honest ... "the West" (Europe/America/Russia/China/Northern Africa... even India) will benefit greatly, if we're honest. Africa and South America, and Indonesia will suffer.

But of course there's the identified problem. A decent-sized city could undo global warming (amplifying it is actually harder) BY ITSELF. Something like London or Paris or New York definitely could do it with the city's budget and land, and maybe even something like Milan would be big enough. Which brings the question: countries like Congo will greatly benefit from stopping global warming. They can, if they want to. What do we do then? Because, ironically, if they stop global warming through geoengineering, it will be a huge problem for "the West".
No thanks. E-tip jars belong on Twitch and Youtube Live. Something about that feels very "off", it feeds that parasocial interaction thing in ways that a band selling merch does not.

Start smaller. You have to walk before you can run. I might be biased because I've tried and failed at a few startups, but this is what I'm doing:

Try building smaller / easier businesses first. Try freelancing or try selling something, anything, like a course. I think there's a very strong correlation between who can make it as freelance and those who can make it with a startup. The market is validated, and you'll get experience in selling, branding, marketing, etc.

Unless you live in Thailand or Bali, I don't see much option for mitigating risk here. Having a freelance/consulting business is going to do wonders for your entrepreneurship career. It'll give you more control over your work schedule, so you can keep making bigger and bigger bets. Just make sure you get high-value clients so you can make margin. Otherwise you'll be hunting for work all the time.

Last piece of advice: don't listen other people (LOL). Everyone has an opinion on how to be an entrepreneur and what 'true' entrepreneurship is. Focus on yourself and where you want to be and how to build a life where you can keep taking shots at the goal.
Much like single payer healthcare (which even a majority of Republicans are in favor of), the program is perfectly palatable to voters.

The problem is that the investors who fund political campaigns and media oligarchs hate HATE HATE public housing, because it reduces the value of their property investments. Extra supply reduces the price of existing supply.

In order to win elections, you almost need those investors on your side more. The public will be swayed one way or another by their media and if you don't have the campaign financing they probably won't even hear about your exciting campaign platform to build lots of housing in the first place - you'll get cut out in an early race.

You're arguing the wrong direction, I think.

If the gov does not change zoning restrictions to something less restrictive, then the work will, by law, not be possible.

If they do, then it's POSSIBLE, but it's not up to gov't to MANDATE it.

Arguing that they shouldn't "loosen" the restrictions because the market _MIGHT_ determine it's still not worthwhile seems odd to me. Perhaps this is from a cultural bias.

The point of the article wasn't to make more housing required, it was to make it possible to do so. Perhaps in other countries/cultures/governments the incentives are different (market vs. gov), but this article is not that.

There's a bunch of things in here that don't really make sense:

> The incident was caused by a third-party caching client library that was recently integrated into our system. This client library received unprecedented load conditions caused by devices coming back online all at once. As a result of increased demand, it mixed up device ID and user ID mapping and connected some data to incorrect accounts.

What? How does load on the system affect correctness?

> The outage originated from our partner AWS

What does this mean? Was there an AWS outage for a service they use, or was this just a normal loss of an instance?

It's interesting that they blame external entities for the root causes of the incident and don't take responsibility for what is ultimately on them.

That's a serious problem, but in this particular case it's unlikely to happen. This mine is currently in use, so presumably there's still left in the ground to extract. Therefore the mine owners are still incentivized to clean up the landslide. Moreover, let's not forget this landslide happened entirely inside the of the confines of an open pit mine. The land is already fucked. The landslide was unlikely to have made it worse.

There's a lot of issues with how mining is done, and how owners are held to account, but kneejerk calls for immediate punishment and/or commenting is entirely not constructive.
To each their own, but: I strongly believe the opposite.

Of course having more than 6 or 8 tabs open in a horizontal tab bar makes tabs difficult to manage and track. I've used Arc for the past 6 months. Having 6 or 8 tabs open in a vertical tab bar is also difficult to manage or track. I end up just spam-closing all of them and starting fresh pretty much every 4 hours anyway.

Here's the two arguments I've heard that I resonate more with, one in either direction.

(1) Count the number of pixels dedicated to the tab bar space when it is horizontal versus vertical. I've never seen a functional vertical tab bar that used the same or fewer pixels than a horizontal one.

(2) But: Monitors almost always have more horizontal pixels than vertical pixels. So, actually, a vertical tab bar better-leverages the aspect ratio your monitor is built at. This feels true at 16:9 and greater aspect ratios; it feels untrue, to me, at the 16:10 aspect ratio; and unfortunately, this is an extremely common aspect ratio as its ~the aspect ratio Macbooks are made at.
I think thats a very simplistic view.

Yes labor is cheaper in Asia. But the other factor is the availability of a certain kind of labor force. You need a lot of people that are highly skilled to operate these facilities. There isn’t that kind of workforce available in NA today.
Linux Format quit shipping CDs with the magazine, oh, about a year ago, maybe. I think some of it is also "shrinkage" (the term in retail in the U.S. for shoplifting + breakage, etc). I liked the CDs for many reasons, one of which was once you open a browser...off you go. However, there are still people in the world who may want to learn but have rate-limited, firewalled, or dodgy Internet. It's like cashless systems that cut out millions of people. [1]

I don't see why it would be a problem with items mailed, except it would add another step for the publisher or distributor.

[1] During COVID I protested vigorously at my church about going virtual for many reasons. One of which was elderly or impoverished members who could not (because of either access or ability) easily access whichever platform was being used.

> […] belies a micromanager with a Stakhanovite work ethic.

Not a term I am familiar with:

> The Stakhanovites (стаха́новцы) modeled themselves after Alexei Stakhanov, a coal miner, and took pride in their ability to produce more than was required by working harder and more efficiently, thus contributing to the common good and strengthening the socialist state. The movement began in the coal industry but later spread to many other industries in the Soviet Union.

Is it commonly used in the UK?
No we definitely should not enforce a ridiculous regulation like that. Again people like you miss the entire point by thinking everything should exist only in big cities where public transportation makes sense. We need to bring these factories back to small towns and regulations like you’re proposing completely kill that.

> In order to win elections, you almost need those investors on your side more than the actual public

…because those few elite investors outnumber the voting public at the voting booth?

This claim doesn’t make any sense. It’s weird conspiratorial thinking.

EDIT: Yes, people. I’m familiar with Fox News and the concept of campaign donations. However, Fox News’ prime time viewership is around 0.5% of the US population and the average size of presidential campaign contributions is well under $100.

Claiming that elections are decided by a shadowy cabal of elite investors who trick unwitting voters into voting against their self interests is the election equivalent of claiming anyone who disagrees with you online is a bot or a shill.

I think that's some of what's captured by the idea of "late stage capitalism". That is to say, capitalism worked when companies where competing on quality, word of mouth was important, and mechanisms like social norms and unions promoted a balance of power between capitalists and workers.

However, capitalists have increasingly figured out ways to compete via regulatory capture, walled gardens, planned obsolescence, financialization, etc. Increasingly sophisticated marketing makes it easier to bypass the need for word of mouth sales. The 1% are increasingly insulated from the opinions of everyone else and unions are much weaker.

As a result, capitalism no longer works particularly well. At least without policies to correct for market failures; e.g. social democracy.
Tragedy of the Commons and cost.

Shopping carts are significantly durable for their acquisition cost and must be a design buyers are satisficed by.

Target larger store shopping carts seem more rugged and smoother rolling than conventional all metal ones.

Boundary antitheft systems generally address the theft problem. Perhaps these can be extended with app to leave a deposit for disabled, elderly people, and others to temporarily borrow carts for community neighbors without transportation.

PS: In the 80's, it always annoyed me when my aunt would "borrow" a shopping cart and then keep it until going to the store next like it was her personal property.

Do you think that the gain from this (investment into Saratoga Fab) is useless or that the state pays too much for it?

Because I personally believe that this is a decent deal; I hate the idea and it still reeks of protectionism to me, but I think this serves US (taxpayers!) interests decently well.

I especially like the investment matching aspect, where the necessary commitment from the company is much larger than the grants, so in the end, they are dropping money into that fab (fudging numbers only gets you so far), and its in their best interest to make it work out.

I'd be very careful with characterising this as "wealth transfer", because it seems significantly less questionable than most defense spending to me and even that I wouldn't label as "wealth transfer".

Out of personal curiosity: Are you similarly opposed to agriculture subsidies, or do you consider those less problematic (magnitude is somewhat comparable at ~20billion$/year)?
