social isolation can be a hell of a thing, and in the world we have now where having a phone is the norm, it isnt just about having different toys, its about completely lacking a tool so deeplyintegratedintodaily life that others do have. i don't know what the solution is, but i do think that at least considering it is important

*IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER THAT I AM NOT A PARENT*
i cannot judge others for how they raise their children as i do not and will almost certainly never have any of my own, however i can still discuss the topic and raise concerns even with the understanding that i may be missing things and i am willing to accept that may indeed be the case

It's not like this type of feel good legislation actually changes anything with the card issues. They'll just bump interest rates a few fractions of a percent or tweak one of the other knobs they have to extract rent from merchants.

There's some irony in the government pushing legislation limiting a penalty for breaking an agreement, when they have no problem imposing all sorts of high fees if your taxes or parking/speeding tickets are late.
This isn't to agree or disagree with other points you might be making, but one thing I learned not too long ago is that AAE isn't quite "street" or "urban" English. Like other dialects of English (say, Scottish), it's a dialect of its own, with its own interesting rules, nuances, and pronunciations. A very short explanation of it is here, but you can find more if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw4pD4DNOHc
Which fingers are you using to CMD + C? Because this is one of the more common things I would do and it feels bad every time, I'm using my thumb to press command and it doesn't feel well, and index finger on C.

I have to use side of my thumb to press the CMD kind of.

Diversity is good. People who enforce it for the sake of diversity and build their careers around it are bad and essentially parasitic.

That's by design of the federal government as they strong armed all other countries into Non Proliferation Treaties and made nuclear power a bad word. If they want to go green, they can start by defanging the watchdogs.
And if spying works without using the microphone or whatever, the alternative is almost worse - it means Meta et al has such a good virtual “mind reading” Skinner model of you that they have a good hunch of what you will talk and think about.

Some of the default shortcuts in the start menu triggered an install wizard for WSA so there was natural ways to discover it (I'm aware of the kindle app, but there must have been a few others). Of course I wouldn't fault anyone for first and foremost deleting all of these as uninvited clutter.

The main issues to me were the hurdle to get the Google Store instead, and the fact that android emulation is no ready yet, full stop.

It was the same issue on Chromebooks so I wouldn't fault microsoft: many android apps gave up on tablet support so they don't expect to be fluidly resized, bluetooth support had no chance in the first place, and a bunch of phone only app were predatory on being uniquely installed (looking at you Line) which made it a non starter to run them elsewhere.

I'm not sure there's any clear solutions to those issues.

I agree, it's complicated workflows, it's too many options/features (that we never use), it's clunky and slow and some people are even using spreadsheets for some things ;)

We were on Rally before which was okay. I've used things like Bugzilla and trac in the distant pass (for mostly solo things). Basecamp and trello a few times and even gitbug (again for a solo project).

I currently like Linear's ui/ux/approach (but I have not used it really). Shortcut and Plane.so look very similar.
it's because of the maths: I do feel like the article overcomplicated things a bit: the basic idea is, each individual book is basically a choose-your-own-adventure of flying around a static opposing aircraft. If you pick page numbers yourself you can happily just fly around your 'opponent', who never moves on their own. But, the page numbers for opposing books correspond to the inverse of the move in the other one: so when you take the page number from your opponent, you are doing the inverse of their move on your book (which may not be an option listed on your page). This basically means there are two opposite maps: if you tried to play with two books from the same side it would seem like you are just wrestling over the controls of one plane.
Respectfully, I disagree. If I can get the answer without having to click through to another website, I'm a happy camper.
Why are we punishing people for being poor again? Stick with the interest fee.

Late fees make absolutely no sense
> Citi is usurious

I have had both good and bad experiences with them. I recall they charged a ridiculous fee for a cashier's check when I was in law school and needed to move my student loan money. I seriously considered withdrawing it all (tens of thousands) in cash and walking it down the street to WaMu.

Another time, they completely refunded a several-hundred dollar charge for a hotel that misrepresented itself as a boutique luxury spot, yet lacked many basics. The hotel fought the chargeback and was going to make it a miserable process, so Citi just refunded the whole thing (we had only asked for a partial refund).

What I've found with banks and others is that lower-level people will say that it's impossible to help you, and that if you speak to a supervisor they will say the same thing. But most of the time, supervisors do have more power, and are able to make things happen. There's no particular rhyme or reason for why extraordinary relief is sometimes granted though — it seems completely random!
> But seriously, why don't they just drop their opengraph tags, if they don't want to show their headlines/subheadings for free? It's not like they are being forced to add these to their pages, so they should not be charging for it.

They know why, because most of their traffic comes from these platforms. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
Having more resources is required if you're going to dedicated a portion of those resources to VMs. More RAM, more CPU cores, more storage... if your VMs are constrained for resources because you don't have them, or the VMs leave the base OS constrained for resources, that's going to make things slow. If VMs are what you're doing 24 > 16, regardless of the OS running the hypervisor.
> The fact that twitter was usuable the whole time does.

That's an assertion, not a substantiation. A single tweet does not corroborate that, even if you ignore the fact that most outages of large global services (including some of the outages of these Facebook properties mentioned above) are actually partial degradations.

The level of protection you get from the ECHR is very dependent on what country you are in and how they interpret the convention.

In some countries such as Denmark the ECHR and its rulings are considered to be absolutely binding and self executing by the national courts:

> The European Convention on Human Rights is implemented in Danish law. This means that the convention is directly applicable in Denmark. Danish law must therefore be interpreted in accordance with the convention.

In other countries rulings are routinely fully or partially ignored (for example the UK entirely ignored an ECHR ruling on prisoners voting).
I'm glad to see everyone's realizing that the news is nothing but a constant lie by the ruling class to make us do things they want us to do. I can't comprehend how anyone could trust it. It has been admitted by countless people that there are government agents at the highest levels of all the most important corporations, especially news outlets.

I find it funny that Democrats had a big surge of thinking highly of the news when it was on a 24/7 fuck trump loop for 6 years straight.
Unless you speak of the supernatural, all resources are natural. Humans and our desire for energy is also natural. Ecosystem disruption is also natural since we are natural also. The only question is sustainability. More solar farms in the desert disrupts an ecosystem but not to the extent of causing species to die off or a food chain collapse that affects humans. More nuclear plants use more fissile material but at such low volume and extraction cost it's negligible.

If you take a walk through the woods you'll step on grass and insects and cause damage. It's unnatural to live without interacting and harming flora and fauna and there are plenty of energy sources to sustain humans for millenia to come.

The banks will make up for this loss of revenue somehow. Maybe they will spread it out among customers that have not been late. That appears to be the democratic way.

Do you feel the same way about the limited liability offered to investors in corporations? After all, if they don't want financial risk, they should just not invest in anonymous businesses that they don't have any control over.

Which obviously I'm being oblique, but of course the government should do things that ensure corporations benefit society, because that's why government has regulations to encourage their formation, for the benefits they can bring.
On that note, why do array languages use terse notation and avoid newlines? Regexes do this too, but at least Perl 6 / Raku is pushing for a multi-line form. There are even initiatives to give lisps friendlier syntax.

Why is there a fee for carrying a balance and paying interest on a credit card? I've never heard of that, and certainly have never paid a fee for that (not in US). Credit Card issuers like it when people pay interest... because that's how they make money.

It seems charging a fee is counter intuitive because you're incentiveizing consumers to pay their card off in full and never pay interest, thus making the issuer less money.

I’ve read the classifications, and the problem is that almost any prepared food would automatically make it category 4.

Can we agree that a chocolate bar and a Twinkie are wildly different levels of healthiness? It isn’t the category 4 definition that’s the issue. It’s the stuff in certain items within that category that is the issue, and identifying them is what matters.
The article is actually a great illustration of how far ahead of machine learning humans remain in their ability to collaborate and make intuitive connections (the AI contribution was minimal).

EU mandates storm retention tanks, i.e. a buffer, to minimize this problem.

For instance, Madrid has built a massive 400,000 m3 tank and the problem is now solved. Lots of other main cities are doing / have done the same.

Without those, in the event of heavy rain, there is not only raw sewage but also lots of contaminants from e.g. traffic that leak into rivers and kill everything there periodically.
I hope so! Unfortunately it will definitely be massively increasing the ratio of documentation to intentional documentation, so we'll have to see whether it increases documentation usability or not.
Dunno if I buy that personally. I don't use X/Twitter at all any more (lost interest prior to Elon buying it), and I only see it pop up in links on HN.

Now that Nitter.net has gone away (to see replies on X/Twitter), I don't even bother clicking on the Twitter stories any more.
They renamed it a few years ago, removed a bunch of features, and have been gradually re-adding them because they realized that Portfolio was only useful with those features.

I'm still waiting for them to re-add features around capacity estimation by team member per project, a feature that was in Portfolio in 2017. At least they finally fixed the biggest issue I had with Portfolio, that the "save changes" view didn't have any filters.

Most of those nations judiciary systems will enforce the ruling (eventually triggering legislative changes to reconcile things).

Half of all people are worse than average at that sort of planning ahead.
At 53 and having lived both lives, I beg to differ.
You still have to make the minimum payment on time when carrying a balance.

I am not sure if there exists a convertor, but..

Emacs org-mode has tables, which you can use as spreadsheets [1]. The formulas are not written in the cells, but after the table, with one formula per line. You have to update the table every time you update the data or the formulas.

I once tried to use it, but it was way too difficult, and I went back to Libreoffice.

> Or put in another way, if you know the distribution is normal, you can bet on the the result being near the center and come out on top, but if it’s uniformly random distribution all hopes are out.

That’s just because the payout distribution and real distribution are different, and there’s a place the payout is at a loss.

If you bet on a uniform distribution of 2 through 12 that payed out according to a normal distribution, you’d make a killing betting on 2 or 12 (the “outliers”). If you roll 2d6 (normalish) and get paid according to a uniform distribution, you’ll make a killing betting on 7.
I've used it since before it was shunted to Accessibility settings.

Nowadays, sometimes Finder gets confused when you use 3-finger drag, and it doesn't work with sliders in the newer control center released years ago.
Late fees aren't for carrying a balance, they're for not making a payment (which is perfectly well allowed to be less than the outstanding balance) on time.
Linear was awesome when we used it in 2019/2020. The only reason we didn't commit to it long term was that it is impossible to get our business people to commit to estimates that don't at least have the appearance of being a time period.

Yeah, no. Just tried on rando iPhone SE 1st gen I have here for some tests, and it lags on scrolling just like any other phone from similar era. You just slide back and forth slowly and observe the content of the screen pretty clearly not following the changes in direction immediately, and you can observe about 1-2cm distance between your finger and text.

It's impossible to be in sync anyway, unless you avoid VSYNC, and then you'll have tearing ans at best halve the delay. There are limits to these things that not even "Apple" can violate.

And first iPhone sure was not faster than SE.

Maybe with some 120+Hz refresh rate, and some SW tricks, you can get close to what you're talking about. First iPhone did not have that.
Windows 10 and 11 take some seriously wrangling (and paying for a Pro license) before it behaves.

Okay. Otherwise do you in your natural state hold your left hand index on F and right hand index on J? Going to A on pinky on your left hand and the key after L on your right pinky?

Because I think I have pretty much average male hands, but if I have to do CMD and C, with this natural state position, I have to hit the CMD with pretty much the nail of my thumb sideways, unless I rotate my wrist a lot.
You don't have to believe in conspiracy theories to realize that media is untrustworthy. It's your attention that they're after, and selling your attention is how their profits are made. Like any good capitalistic enterprise, there are no holds barred in their pursuit, and if the truth is a casualty, that's just collateral damage.
Packages on those systems do get blocked at times. So no, not as risky.
If you miss a payment, you can make the payment and the late fee within 30 days and nothing hits your credit record.

Various fees like that are "allowed" to be added on when you start going delinquent, and get the amount total owned much higher. It's basically usury, in all senses of the word.
This is so clean. Mad props.

It is absolutely the case that working conditions are part of the overall negotiation for talent. You start offering folks $1M/yr cash and I promise they'll move back to the city and RTO for you. You let them keep working remote and enjoy the work/life balance, and you can get 'em a whole lot cheaper than that.

This is always what has screwed with me the most about this AdTech thought experiment: Both likelihoods (listening-in vs astute prediction models) are equally bad; and whoever downplays either as "business as usual" or "humans are predictable", respectively, ought to be called out for it.

It's NOT good when you listen to conversations without explicit (or implied, for that matter) consent, just as it's equally NOT good to exploit human predictive models to such a precise degree for profit. You SHOULDN'T be complicit to these practices, and saying that it's "just what it is" is one more person in the arena that's throwing their hands up to allow it. Attempt for change is ALWAYS better than apathy for complacency - before every interaction exists to become a transaction.
> There's no particular rhyme or reason for why extraordinary relief is sometimes granted though — it seems completely random!

It comes down to being polite, persistent, and professional (and lucky) - the CSR has certain buttons they can press for you (for example, most banks/credit cards let the first-level hit the "refund one fee" button), and the higher up you get, the more discretion they have. If you're not yelling at them, you can often get what you want via some other method (which only they know) - like them reclassifying the problem to something else they have leeway for.
Eh, clearly it raises the barrier to entry significantly. You’re never safe from a truly determined adversary, but you can keep out the riff raff.
