Winning an election is a part of a democratic process. Making the laws in the legislative part as a election-winnet is another democratic process: consensus finding. It's not always possible to do "as said" - you need a majority of the elected members to vote for. There's also a lot of bargaining like "if you vote for x, then you'll get y for that".

Just take the parliament of Israel with it's 40 or so parties and each with their own wishes. Just take the Parlament of Germany, or that of Poland. As always: the one wins, who can bring more people/votes onto his side.

If the Poland's conservative party with a big percentage of Poland's inhabitants is against birth control and abortions, and the elections winner is the opposite of the conservative - then you have a problem and need to bargain with the other peergroup of conservatists..

So, winning an election is actually meaning majority. But coalitions of other parties may sum up to a bigger vote count / majority. In either case you have the government and the opposition. The opposition can be higher in vote counts. It's getting difficult to find a consensus with something if the bigger opposition doesn't agree.

.. democracy... :)
He's right.

Be respectful though, there's a spectrum between "too shy to ask" and "annoying grifter". You want to sit somewhere in the middle.

Honour your commitments and repay your debts. Look for win-win situations. Help the tide raise all the boats. Don't emotionally manipulate your mark or take advantage of people's ignorance.
I recently came across my first game where not only is the non-inverted Y the default, there's also no way of setting inverted Y as an option! Consequently I can never play Genshin Impact. The lack of a setting is seemingly a long-running issue in forums, as the developers seem to be ignoring requests to implement it.
Maybe, but property is typically an item, which you can't easily copy. Copyright is for items which are easily copied. So, it not the same. If you download a car it's different than stealing it, because original owner of car still has the car.
It's a broad problem of the financialisation mindset - trying to view everything in monetary terms. It's particularly misleading when thinking about a sovereign government's fiscal policy, which always needs to be considered in terms of resourcing, not money.
> In this case it could be the poverty itself

unfortunately in the US socialists theories, even the most diluted ones, are almost entirely removed from the public discourse.

These kinds of issues can be better analyzed in the context of the class struggle (or class conflict), of which they are a textbook example.

On a personal level people can get over hardships and have a successful happy life, but statistically, on a societal level, those who are born poor will, more often than any other group, end up being poor(er) adults.

The geoip depends on how much your ISP discloses as far as I know? I see one of three answers for my IP addresses (V4 or V6):

- The capital city of the country I live in

- The town my ISP's head office is in

- null, null

I don't live in any of these locations :)

The latter is actually increasing a lot. I wonder if I turn adblock off will I get ads for singles in null island

Tailscale SSH is quite interesting because it'd require Tailscale authentication. So it would segment SSH access off, and makes SSH access also generally available to all clients utilizing Tailscale, regardless of host OS.

I checked, and it doesn't seem like Headscale supports SSH access.

UK based.

I get 34 days including 9 national holidays (sometimes there are extra national days) to use during the year, and 2.5 days extra that can accumulate (so 20 extra days in total after 10 years).

Obviously I use them all, I can only carry over 5 into the next year, and I've been doing that for a long time, so I have to use them or lose them.

That doesn't include "flexitime" leave -- I might have a day mostly off because I've been working longer hours -- for example I did about 10 hours work in the second week of Easter over the 5 days as I'd done 25 hours extra in the previous month or so.

I can "buy" or "sell" holiday, by either sacrificing or receiving more pay (1/260ths of my salary), but I don't do that.
Hah! You are correct. Sorry for the confusion.
It surprises me how many people here can be extremely critical of Firefox/Mozilla and claim that Chrome-based browsers are better when they're _so much worse_.

I'm not saying that Mozilla is infallible - they're definitely not - but for all their questionable decisions, they're still the best player in the browser market and the only one fighting for the free web.

Do I wish Mozilla were better at managing Firefox? Of course. Is their lacklustre management enough for me to change to Google's almost monopoly? Hell no.

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. I've noticed how people hate paying £9 for what ought to be a £7 lunch. Doesn't seem to matter much if they're fresh out of university, or half way through a high-income career.

I suppose it shifts from being an immediate financial concern, to an old habit, or perhaps a matter of principle.

My family were not academic at all but we always had lots of high quality books around the house.

probably the biggest boost to my early learning was having no age restriction on books at all so encyclopaedias and college textbooks were fair game whether I was 5 or 15.

First person in my family to get a degree and also first to get a masters.

For my own kids one day the biggest risk seems to be iPads and tiktok melting their brains instead of getting lost in physical books. Child attention spans surely were longer when you could have half of chance of getting bored without a screen under your nose 24/7.

Seems possible Iran bought some nukes from Russia. Russia wanted drones and missiles, Iran may have set the price for them to be a few nukes or help in getting nukes onto missiles.
The author does that.
Title should have been: "You can still enjoy building things regardless of how many followers you have".
> Anything you do or create will probably receive little to no attention, so stop optimizing for a non-existent audience [...] The most egregious thing you can do with any activity is daydream about how you can make money off of it [...] In the end, find something you enjoy doing and just do it because you enjoy it.

I don't understand the equivalence the author is ultimately making in suggesting that creating something with polish is expecting to make money (and fame) from it. Yet notice all the things in the blog post are creations that are exposed to the internet (photography blogging, releasing a program online, making a website), rather than private, non-published hobbies which literally have no audience.

Some prefer to make things polished/more complete as they want others to enjoy something more and polish makes it more accessible/usable/meaningful, or because it's a reflection on them (whether using an IRL identity or even a pseudonymous one) and part of their enjoyment of the process.

Since we all know the audience is whoever will come across it, once something is released in the wild. Might be an audience of one, or many. Which isn't to say people need to care about the output of hobby but I disagree that money/fame is the only motivation in improving something.
Is that true in the States?

I'm a marine SAR volunteer in Ireland and we go into every school every year to teach about water safety (https://rnli.org/safety/float).

But loss of smell was an early symptom of a corona infection.

Sudden deficiency symptoms would mean the virus removed all the Zinc from the body before even reaching the inner organ.

And normally deficiency symptoms need time to emerge.
France. I get 2.5 days a month and take them very rarely. It's nice to have the option to leave for a few weeks or take days off for doctor appointments, etc.
Hi, congrats on launching, few questions:

1. "4.9 from 200+ reviews" where I can read these reviews?

2. "97% of visitors aren't ready to buy. All the time and money spent on ads, SEO, and content marketing goes to waste. Potential customers leave and never come back." What is the actual value proposition? That the conversion rate will increase because of funny cursor?
Thank you for this summary. I have seen some analyses (including from the „pro vax“ side, even though it is to be despised for their fascist behavior alone) that made the Dutch data appear more useful for these questions. But tbh, what did I expect - last time I checked the Dutch government still voted against doing an honest investigation into the ongoing excess deaths too.

Is there any official data of this kind you would trust right now?

To be fair, I have seen enough by now; the main open question for me is what role endemic covid in all those believing the cure-all narrative and going out partying before milder variants came out played.
Bravo to Alex in the embedded video for clearly explaining the benefits in an interesting way without being overly salesy. I get a genuine sense of enthusiasm from him.
You probably can not transfer this technology to environments with moisture and rain.
We are not talking about vaccine efficiency or efficacy here though but adverse events specifically.

>If we check the data for say the Pfizer trial, what we see is no effect on mortality

The point is that there are almost no serious adverse events occuring post-vaccination. There is no pharmacovigilance safety signal or concerning pattern wrt MRNA-vaccines. As we have seen in 2021 with the astra zeneca vaccine, post market surveillance worked and it was promptly investigated as soon as a safety signal emerged. EMA (and other regulatory agencies) communicated transparently about their findings and decisions.

Thank you for reminding me of this fine example of post-market surveillance, I almost forgot :)
Weird reacton from him tbh.

Indiehackers has a decent post with some resources to get started: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/relaunch-like-a-pro-100-pl...

It's a bit of effort to go to each place, but it does drive a good set of initial users. Some of it becomes evergreen, but most of it (e.g. Slack channel post to a niche group) gets lost within a few days.

The following is not intended to be an ad, but I created a series of scripts that essentially created a large repository of AI-generated blogs/articles related to each one of my products and published them to a CMS. On average, these alone drive between 100-1000 organic clicks per day.

Then I turned this script into a product that less-technical founders/SMEs can use for their own website: https://www.typeup.ai/ It's not a product that makes me rich, but helps keep the lights on.

You can also build this yourself with clever daisy-chaining of code/no-code solutions as long as you're comfortable with API calls, prompting, and scripting.

OpenAI is a good start for generating blogs, but I recommend experimenting with the other models as well as the open source ones to get the right writing style and output that best fits your CMS.

Despite search engines saying they'll de-rank AI generated content, it has not impacted traffic at all. Probably too large scale of a problem to handle for the time being.
Seconding the sentiment here. Quibbling about "causal" being used in the title aside, we're building more observational evidence that there's negative cognitive effects associated with covid and long covid.

Zhao et al '24 [0] comes immediately to mind; operating on a radically different set of people and data sets from Al-Aly and the gang, they find substantial differences in simple reaction time between covid and no-covid groups.

It seems we're in a phase of the pandemic where denying long tail effects is going to become more prominent as concerning evidence continues to pile up. The name of the game is still to reduce your infection count as much as possible. Stay safe out there, share aerosols unprotected at your own peril.

Yeah pg’s JIT is a pretty good demonstration that LLVM is not great at JITs, worsened by postgres not having a good persistent shared query cache.

It would probably be less detrimental if it could perform asynchronous compilation for future queries (which really is closer to how normal JITs actually behave, at least for optimising backends)
So I mean there are edge-cases. If the pizza vendor is saying "normally I sell pizzas for $25, but I'm going to sell _you_, specifically, 100 pizzas for a single payment of $25 for your event", then under most jurisdictions that should be treated as a gift or income depending on context. But if the offer is "everyone who buys a pizza for $25 gets a pizza free", that's clearly not a gift or income; it's not below market value, more or less by definition! Anyone can buy it!
Yet again, the US promotes surveillance over the privacy of its citizens. FISA should never have been approved. Coming up for renewal, if not cancelled, it should at least have been rolled back.

Swimming is one of my favorite things, but it's alarmingly dangerous.

On the middle school swim team we had a day of different fun races. One was underwater swimming for distance. A girl passed out around 45 meters. She just stopped swimming and started sinking. The assistant coach jumped in and pulled her out and she came to quickly. I love underwater distance swimming, my best was around 65 meters, but every time I think of that girl.

In high school, I was a swim instructor for some elementary schooler. I was subbing for someone who was out and misjudged the group: I started them in the deep end of the pool. I asked the first kid to go and they pushed off and immediately started drowning. The lifeguard and I both immediately noticed. I just stepped in, pulled him to the wall, and moved the lesson to the shallow end. Oops.

Last year I was doing some canyon hiking and swimming. The water depth was very unpredictable based on rain fall and the submerged rough terrain. My wife spotted a man about 30 meters ahead of us who had just started drowning. I raced over and grabbed his arm. He was a very built guy and complained his muscle had cramped. He was exhausted from fighting the water and terrified. I sat next to him for a while and he held me while he recovered. No one else was around and we had only just rounded a corner to see him.

I swim a lot with my kids (6 and 8). Both can swim well and dive to the bottom of a 10 ft pool. Even still, I always watch them.
I've tried playing it with better texture-packs, but unfortunately they tend to backfire by creating inconsistent levels of detail in a scene, which I find harder to deal with than a uniform low-res experience.

That said, lighting improvements--especially to stop banding in shadows--are much appreciated.

The problem is we in the software industry are so used to getting handed everything for free that a lot of software developers don't even know how to get their employer to buy something.

Every engineer in every other field of engineering knows exactly how to order things, and has access to a properly organised budget for doing so. You need electronic components? Custom-machined parts? Raw material like metal sheets? Nuts and bolts? Aluminium extrusion? Of course you pay for it - and the organisation's purchasing procedure is something you learn in your first week.

We in the software industry, on the other hand, get free operating systems, free compilers, free IDEs, free databases, free libraries, free documentation and training, free support - pretty much free everything. So you can get surprisingly far in the industry without ever learning the difference between a quote and a proforma invoice - or how to explain to the boss why we should give JetBrains $50k per year in terms she'll understand and approve of.

As such, when the people gifting us and our employers free stuff add a paid tier with features we want, but they charge money for it, it's an almighty inconvenience.
I agree but "worst ever" still feels off for this reason
I think if you like polishing things than do so. As far as I could understand, the point is not doing it with the expectation of any recognition.
> They are having Tapas though, not just cheese.

Fair point!

Ah, possibly from imported, French paints. The cheeses I encountered in Germany were unfit for use as biological weapons or contamination agents.
Baby swimming here (Germany) included not throwing them in the water, but placing them underwater manually for a short time; basically a very short dive. This works for infants because they have a reflex where they stop breathing when water hits their face.

However, reading up on that now, the fun thing seems to be that no one can reliably tell when that reflex stops. Could be a few months, could be just a few weeks, so the recommendation is to just not do it. TIL. In any case, throwing a child in the water should just not be done. Period.

> Same with your statement tbh.

Have to make generalized statements without experience. That's the important difference and why your claim that my statements are the same is wrong. I don't have experience with an EV in my current life situation. And I won't get that without buying an EV. So the only way I can judge if I should buy one is by making generalized statements and trying to get specific answers from people who have that experience. This is why the EV owners should be more careful about generalized claims than the ones who consider buying an EV.

> Nonetheless i'm a little bit idealistic and think we need to change.

Yes. I think we can boil this discussion down to that point. This is not about what solution is actually implementable for everyone. It's a very idealistic discussion.

In a lot of countries, there is legislation which is more or less enforcing EVs in the near future (2030/2035) on everyone without making it possible for them to reasonably own such a car. If this is a bet on a technology breakthrough in the next 5 years, then good luck with that. Otherwise, this seems to be just an attempt to exclude many (if not most) people from car ownership going forward, thereby further enhancing inequality while making those excluded feel bad about themselves.
