Or, rather than worry about draining it to 0 before charging every day like you would a few years later once you wanted your phone to be on all day, you could only turn it on to return beeper messages, thus allowing many days of use before getting to 0 and recharging. That's the time period original commenter was talking about, and why it's different to the mid 90s / early 00s.

It wasn't many years that this made sense, but during the early 90s (and I think some of the 80s but not so sure) it was quite common to pair beeper for incoming with phone for outgoing. (At least in the UK, but I don't see why it would've been different somewhere like USA either.)
> I went to a lawyer and was told it wasn't worth suing, because they required arbitration in NYC, which would cost more than I would save

Could you do me a favour and look if they had conflicts? (Also, who was the arbitrator, AAA or JAMS? Because it shouldn't be more than $5k, and that's an extreme. Also, in most arbitration agreements, the company drafting the agreement pays the filing fees, which could knock off $100 to $3,500.)
It's using the same engine as the Space Shuttle (literally - it's using refurbished engines from the Space Shuttle [1]), exact same solid rock boosters with all their flaws, and so on. One difference from the Shuttle is that the SLS doesn't even have a pretext of reuse. It's a single-use only rocket.

One other big difference is that it's also obsolete before it's even complete. It can lift about 50% more than a Falcon Heavy for what will be orders of magnitude greater cost, to say nothing of comparisons to Starship. So there's no viable use case for it to ever actually be used, except for corruption. So it will be used, but it's just been a monumental waste of money that could have instead been directed towards meaningful progress in space. The entire Apollo program which spanned 11 years and started from zero, only cost $180 billion in total, inflation adjusted - less than $18 billion a year. NASA's current budget is $26 billion per year.

I'm not sure all the ISA issues are clearly stated in the contract, or whether they were clearly stated in all the contacts, before they started to get into trouble.

But they clearly lied about much of this stuff in the headline publicity. Lying prominently and 'clarifying' the lies in the small print is obviously still fraud.

Doing fraud and saying 'but the majority of the people we defrauded still had an overall positive experience' is not a defense.

Jail time for consumer credit fraud is a perfectly normal outcome. Don't lend consumers money if you don't want to be in a regulatory environment where fraud is taken very seriously.

People have been claiming for over a decade that CSS has now caught up with the functionality of tables, but I guess that's still not quite true.
Why is any of this true? All you're doing is setting the meta-rules, but who gave you this special freedom to define the rules for others?

I mean, that's the conceit of your argument. It's the rhetoric of political belief which is why "check your beliefs at the door" is a completely disingenous argument. The very argument you and others offer is foundationally a political belief - a belief about what are freedoms - masquerading as something everyone should uncritically accept as given. That's the lie that you are telling to yourself and others.

It is. I won't because this isn't something I care deeply about. The question is whether they would have been better off without arbitration, and the answer is no.

"Wrong" laws is a subjective judgment. If the laws are that "wrong", the people will vote for leaders who change them. That didn't happen in the US (until the late 1960s CRA) because those slavery and Jim Crow laws weren't "wrong" in the eyes of most of the electorate.

Bad treatment by police is the same thing. Police have gotten away with that for ages because the majority supported it or at least tolerated it.

>please, do not mix up democracy vs rights vs laws.

Why not? They're inextricably entwined. People only have the rights that laws give them, and laws are made by elected leaders.

>Because the people of color also have same constitution rights

No, they don't. Black people had no such rights until after the Civil War. Black people in South Africa had no such rights either until the end of Apartheid. Constitutions only give the rights that the writers wanted.

Jup. Somw people like to think centering things is taking the bounding box of the visible pixel and centering the center of the bounding box. But some letters have more pixels in one half or the other, so that would leave you with more whitespace one one or the other side. That means despite being metrically centered it still doesn't look optically centered.

I guess one could devise algorithms for that, but I haven't seen one that does a better job than my brain and my eyes.
Discussion here from two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40043110
That's a valid criticism, but the point is that you can have two types of curvature that you assign different "units" to when measured, but they're still both curvature.

As a hand-wavey example, one could claim that energy in the form of bosons is just a "wiggle"[1] of the spacetime fabric, and that matter in the form of fermions are topological defects or knots.

That way they're different enough that you'd want to use different units to represent them, but at their core, they're both distortions in spacetime that must inherently cause a distortion in spacetime at a distance (GR).

It also explains how they're inter-convertible. E.g.: energetic gamma rays can be converted into electron-positron pairs. If they're both "made of distortions" then it's like a very strong wave creating a pair of vortices spinning in opposite directions. You can't count the waves (it's smooth and continuous), but you can count the vortices.

[1]
For the wiggle, imagine taking a huge sheet of cloth laid out flat over a smooth surface. If you tried to put a wave into the middle, the edges of the cloth would be pulled in. Contrast this with the typical view of fields as "vectors on top of a base (flat) spacetime", much like a mathematical function graph.
That looks like a biased source, concluding in the first sentence of its introduction that "pre-Dispute Arbitration agreements force people into a form of ‘Rustic Justice’ whose primary purpose to evade meaningful accountability for violations of contract or statutory rights" [1].

That said, I do know bank lobbying group who want to outlaw arbitration for unaccredited investors. Will pass this along.

This is similar to when people create branches with just the Jira ID instead of using the ID and title slug as branch name. I’m often working on 3+ items at a time and need a quick way to know which branch is which; how do people that just use the ID as branch name know what the code changes are?

There's a nihilism that says it all doesn't matter: truth (we are 'post-truth'), justice, freedom, and human rights (we worship power), etc. The nihilism is a pretty dumb idea, transparently so. A large bunch of people advocating for it won't make it better - plenty of history already shows that.

The truth is much easier - easier to think about, much easier to support, easier to work with. I hope you'll consider joining us on the bright side - it's a much more fulfilling life and people desparately need you.

You will not get it right the first many times.

A lot of things can happen 8n a pair programming session that has nothing to do with programming but everything to do with psychology.

I urge you to take small steps. Pick a small challenge.

Make sure you change who is programming, so the level change in overview versus implementation changes. When writing code you can be locked in, and that lock will tighten on a mental level when other people have insights right away, that you must listen to while programming.

Take your time. Discuss and level the knowledge. Have people explain why and make sure they get time to explain without discussing. Pair programming and mob is very much about connecting the intelligence of more people but the knowledge sharing is immense.

Have fun with it. Throw away branches. Start over. Discuss paths. Don't push eachother towards an unknown future just because you cannot say no to cleverness.

Hope it gave you a little bit of support

Current State of the Stock Market
Hey everyone, just wanted to share some insights I've gathered about the stock market lately. It's been quite an interesting ride with all the ups and downs we've been seeing. Economic indicators, geopolitical tensions, and corporate earnings reports have been driving a lot of the volatility we've witnessed. It's crucial to keep an eye on the Federal Reserve's policy decisions and how they're navigating inflation concerns. Also, don't forget about sector rotation and how different industries are reacting to changing market conditions. Overall, it's a reminder of the importance of staying informed and diversified in our investment strategies. What are your thoughts on the current state of the market?
neat! one thing i’d really love tooling for: supporting multi user apps where each has their own siloed data and embeddings. i find myself having to set up databases from scratch for all my clients, which results in a lot of repetitive work. i’d love to have the ability one day to easily add users to the same db and let them get to embedding without having to have any knowledge going in

Neither gnome-terminal nor bash link against readline. I'm pretty sure they just copied the feature; it's not that they use readline in any way.

There's lots of other programs that use C-q for quoting, for example emacs, and readline probably copied it from there in the first place.

When pasting text, it's a different code path than quoting. The terminal surely knows when text is being pasted. If nothing else, a simple heuristic based on typing speed is enough to tell apart typing and pasting.

Same issue here on an iPhone SE. Also tried on an iPad, where I got a pop up “you can only install this marketplace on an iPhone”, which is disappointing.
that hits close to home. I had a search warrant executed on me after ordering small amounts of very ordinary lab chemicals that MAY be used for some more nefarious purposes as a Teen.

It’s what pretty much killed my passion for chemistry, i was admitted to undergraduate chemistry instead of my remaining years of high school thru a program offered here in Germany and stopped after my parents, somewhat pre-disposed to such things due to being afghan immigrants during the war on terror, ceased supporting me in my pursuits. I’m working on my biochemistry dissertation now, but "only" to get my German MD-ish (Dr. med.) and still regret it sometimes.

I am propably wrong on this, and counter examples are very welcome. But to me it seems like he’s the only person in Hollywood who makes films that show dreams how they actually subjectively feel to us when we are dreaming. Not just the “picture perfect narrative but with a pink tint” but all the strangeness that dreams involve, like something mundane being incredibly scratch without a clear reason why. characters simultaneously being different people, or someone in a dream clearly being someone yet looking different. And of cause all the strangeness of realizing you are in a dream yet still dreaming. The mix of absurd control and at times complete lack of control.

You could wait for the final icj decision on the case.

From what i understand a preliminary "plausible" ruling by the ICJ requires very little evidence. Its similar to the amount of evidence needed for a search warrant in a normal case - you need some, but much less then you need for an actual conviction. There is still a very good chance that Israel will win the case overall notwithstanding the "plausible" ruling.
Oh I thought we were talking about AVFoundation which is more for video than audio.

It's well known[1] that x264 is the best h.264 encoding library and produces the highest quality at the lowest bitrate (obviously at the expense of encoding speed). Software encoders for any codec are generally going to get better quality results at lower bitrates because of their ability to use more complex features.

OS library encoders are generally more focused on streaming and bitrate stability than quality. And to be honest, QAAC (Apple Core Media's AAC encoder) is kind of an anomaly that I'd chalk up to the absolute amazing amount of engineering that went into the ipod/iphone era.

Probably depends on how digitized things are where they live and how much of that they interact with.

Where I live, going without a phone would be incredibly tedious, as it handles bus and train tickets, tracking for hourly busses, no ATMs within walking distance and it's basically standard for local events to do "sign in" by having you scan a QR code and so on.

Not having a phone would mean budgeting much more time for going anywhere and having to carry change for the bus.

But if you have a car, you get to bypass most of that, no need to worry about tickets or tracking, ATMs don't need to be very local either. Then if you don't really care about attending local events, you get to avoid everything.

If on top of that, if your job is accomodating, you could conceivably go without a phone entirely. My job would crawl to a near stop if my coworkers had to wait for me to be in front of a laptop/desktop to respond to them.

In my opinion, you can generally write very nice looking code even if the indentation of the multiline statement isn’t exactly matching the brace or whatever.

But as you say, you can still use spaces for alignment. I find it to be kinda meh because if the alignment has to change (like adding a longer variable name) you end up touching lines you didn’t otherwise have to in your diff.

Also, if we’re talking about editors doing nice things with tabs, I think you could make an editor look at the tab in and align things exactly how you want in rendering for a multiline statement.

I didn't say the displacement of Palestinians was because Jews were displaced from the Arab world. What I am saying is if we're going to try to bring "justice" to things long past the plight of Jews in the Arab world should definitely be mentioned.
I do think the Arab conduct before the invasion and the war mongering statements made by the Arab League threatening invasion and genocide planted the idea that this is a fight to the death (which I think it was) in the hearts of the Jews.

The Farhud massacre happened in 1941. I don't know if you can blame the whole thing on Zionism, I don't think most Iraqi Jews were Zionist at all - so looks more like Anti Semitism to me. You can say Zionism created the general hatred of Jews among Muslims, even Jews who weren't much into Zionism at all like Iraqi Jews back then. But even if that is the case, that's not really excusing anything. I also suspect for the population to turn against Jews so quickly there must have been seeds of hatred already planted long before, maybe due to culture and religion.
Anyway It's quite complex and not something you can summarize in 3 sentences.
