The more time goes on, and the cheaper actually running SSO becomes, the less this is true. Props to Github for allowing me to do SSO on my 1 man enterprise for $21/month.

Even if you have just 20 people, not having to manage separate sign in’s on all services is just so pleasant. Not pleasant enough to jump from $2400/year to $24k/year on all 10 of them though.
I assume you’re referring to things like the flu vaccine. Many vaccines can last 10, 20 years or more which this doesn’t come close to.

That’s not to say it’s not a great improvement, I happily await the day we can nearly eliminate some of these infectious diseases that plague humanity.

I had one experience with Tesla parts and it was positive.

I had an issue with corroded bolts on my Model S liftgate.

Following advice from the Tesla Owners UK Facebook group, I emailed OrderPartsUK@tesla.com and surprisingly got a call back within minutes. They identified the parts and explained how to fit them. They charged my card over the phone: £2.30, with no charge made for delivery. I received the bolts the following morning and fitted them myself.

You can browse Tesla's parts catalogue at https://epc.tesla.com/ - which contains diagrams showing every single component in the cars. I found it fascinating.
I use Obsidian to take notes with extensive cross-referencing. I mostly keep track of papers/books I read.

Class is absolutely part of it in my experience. The difference between Chuck and Charles, between Chad and Chadwick, Bob and Robert, and so on. The old money folks I’ve known were very particular about that sort of thing, while few others seemed to care too much.
its only been a small gap in time where anti-intellectualism was segregated from society. you could always just be in your tiny circles of elite higher education.

htmx is a JavaScript library which interprets a set of HTML attributes and JavaScript events. It doesn't have anything to do with static typing. However, it's fairly easy to add a statically-typed layer on top of it eg https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html
Same experience whenever I’ve ever needed parts from Tesla. Fasteners for various pieces of trim, suspension parts (model y suspension upgrade), a wiring harness, always a great experience when working with the parts counter at the nearest service center to where I was when needing the parts.

The disconnect between Tesla corporate policy and super helpful local employees is frustrating and disappointing.

If they could handle it using minimal automation, they would. They can't, so they don't.

Figuring out which real human owns an account that was never verified to belong to that human in the first place is not easy to automate, if possible at all. It's expensive, error-prone, and time-consuming. And if not done carefully, it makes it far easier to steal accounts than it already is.

> You seem to be arguing that the most correct interpretation of scripture is a literal one that ignores its context

No, I'm arguing that scripture can be interpreted in many ways and that some of those ways lead to people believing it calls upon them to commit violence in the name of their religion. I'm also claiming that the absence of a central authority or a 'leading interpretation' of islamic scripture leads to such interpretations being no less 'correct' than interpretations which take a different path.

> Those who wish to reform Islam are not in need patronization by islamophobic memes, I assure you.

I am not assured by your claims nor by your use of unsubstantiated claims of some phobia. Here's Maajid Nawaz (someone who attempts to reform islam) on the subject you try to downplay or ignore:

https://www.smh.com.au/national/we-need-to-talk-about-islam-...

Some excerpts for those who don't want to follow random links:

People in the West are reluctant to discuss Islamism because they are frightened of being portrayed as racist, according to Maajid Nawaz, a British politician and former extremist who spent five years in an Egyptian jail.

...

"Language can destroy Islamist ideas and propaganda," he said. "But we've got to be able to name exactly what it is that we're talking about. That's where I'm critical of President Obama, because he's unable to name the problem – and if you if cannot name something, then you cannot critique it.

...

"To say this problem has nothing to do with Islam leaves nothing to be discussed within the communities. ... The truth is in the middle: it's got something to do with Islam – not everything, not nothing, but something."

...

The key, he said, lay in the way in which Islamist ideologues hijack parts of the faith's scriptures and reinterpret them to support their political stance. It is critical for Islamic communities to discuss this process and, by so doing, "reclaim their religion from those who use it to justify terrorism. I would encourage everyone to engage in this conversation, not to shut it down," he said.

...

"If you don't have this conversation, only the Islamist extremists prevail. Because by shutting down debate, by shutting down thought, people become closed-minded, and only fascism and theocracy benefit from closed-mindedness."
Same here. I said this somewhere else already, but honestly GPT4o feels worse than 4 to me. So that's what drove me over to using Claude more which lead to me discovering it is generally superior for most of my use cases.

I use it like a search engine (or rubber duck) too. I like to test ideas and form hypotheses, but I don't really like to code with an LLM. Occasionally it's helpful to template something but it's rare that I want to iterate on the foundation an LLM created.

I suppose the main reasons are that 1) the code convention likely doesn't mesh with what I'm working on, 2) the lack of context awareness, 3) common performance concerns and 4) potential IP issues which admittedly seems like a rare issue yet I'd rather not contend with it.

There is an exception though. When I'm trying to prototype firmware quickly, I like to use it to generate code for components I haven't used before or recently, and I'm content to rely on it until I've proven out an idea. Past that point though I will almost certainly rip out that code and start fresh using the conventions and patterns I prefer.

> in the name of a religion that commands its followers to give everything they have to the poor.

This isn't actually true. The point of this story (as with a lot of things Jesus did) is that the standards for us to be righteous on our own merit is impossibly high, but that God in his mercy will forgive us anyway. That's why the next bit says that Jesus' disciples asked "who then can be saved?", and Jesus replies that with God, all things are possible. To be righteous in our own merits we would have to take extreme steps like selling all our material possessions (and more), but we don't have to because of God's grace.

That said, we are explicitly commanded to care for the poor and other downtrodden members of society. Not being required to sell all our possessions is not a pass to just ignore the poor, or to half-ass our efforts towards them. It's just that we aren't actually commanded to sell all our possessions.

There’s nothing “real” in physics. Everything is a model, and every model is necessarily flawed—otherwise would imply a provably correct, complete formal description of the actual-really-“real”. To obtain that even in theory we would have to observe the real from the outside, which we by definition cannot: we’re necessarily part of what we’re describing, so if we could look at it from the outside all we would get then is a new indescribable “real”.

Hence, a question like “are fields real?” is besides the point: it is impossible to tell whether that theory is wrong or qualify how wrong it is, because the reference point is never available. It’s a model—it works for some purposes, it doesn’t for others.

> the people with most of the wealth and power

The top 1% are pretty close to having most of the wealth in the US. They have about a third of it. Then 90-99 have about a third, 50-90 have about a third, and 0-50 have a rounding error.

The top 0.1% have about 15-20% of the wealth, which is very concentrated but not a very big fraction of the entire pie. Meaningful cutoffs are tricky to assign.

I don't know how to measure power. You could probably assign a lot of power to the top 0.01%, but in the US they have a single digit percentage of wealth.

I gladly would've paid more than $50 if it was an option.
Never attribute to incompetence what could be attributed to advertisers.

Websites make cookie banners obnoxious on purpose so you'll just try to click through them and accept all the trackers. That is by design, not accident.

What you're asking for isn't a browser issue, it's that advertisers and website owners don't want you to see their content without making money off you.
Feels right to me. Getting my enterprise to spend money on anything they didn’t before is a multi month affair costing tens of thousands of dollars in wasted salary and nearly 6 months to make a purchase with a yearly price lower than my monthly salary…
This is such a dangerous take these days. Something can appear to "work" in the main case but be grossly or subtly broken for common edge cases. Malicious contributors (see recent xz exploit) are skilled at making code that works but also has subtle security issues. You can't just say "it doesn't really matter if you understand the code" in one breath and then "of course you have to watch for security and safety issues" in the next. How can you watch for those issues if you don't understand the code? And suggesting LLMs makes the deep mistake of thinking that an LLM understands anything at all.
> 1) Chinese Tiktok scaring the US government: Sure OUR corps can mentally rape our citizenry, but someone else? Nononononononono. This may provoke the first real debate on pernicious ubiquitous algorithmic manipulation.

It wont: It will be 'okay' for the US govt. and corps to do it, but it wont be 'okay' for others to do even a fraction of it. This kind of double standard and exceptionalism has been the lynchpin of the public discourse in the US throughout history. The people treat international things as if they were sports matches: They think that they are 'on a side', which is "their country's side", and they create group cohesion by uniting against the purported external enemy regardless of what happens at home. The problems at home are 'okay' to ignore until the external enemy is 'dealt with' because the country is 'more democratic'.

But the external enemies never stop coming up as they are manufactured by the establishment itself, based on real threats or, if none exist, made-up threats (at one point in mid to late 2000s they even went to the extent of talking about an extraterrestrial threat, which nobody bought so they had to drop it), and the fake democracy at home never allows the public to change anything. So things stay as they are at home, with the US govt. raping its citizens directly or by outsourcing it to private corporations and everyone just gets on with their lives in this horrible pandemonium - but at least feeling good about themselves because they live in 'the best country in the world', 'most advanced democracy', 'the shining beacon of freedom and prosperity'.

I’m running into a similar situation with an electric Ego lawn mower. 1 year old mower stopped turning on, took it to the authorized repair center for warranty work, some PCB needs to be replaced but it’s back ordered for months. I ended up having to buy another lawn mower for the summer.

I’m grateful for the easy warranty process that Ego has, but it’s got me thinking if shifting to electrical means harder to come by parts for repair.
I'm not going to make such an assumption, but two reasons people prefer PrEP generally:

2. people who "party and play" tend to be in an altered state of consciousness that biases against use of condoms

> The reason is that we let adults choose what to consume.

Do we let adults choose to consume hard drugs?

Do we let adults choose whether they want to wear seatbelts?

No, because adults are stupid too.

> If you go down the path of banning social media feeds because they might be addictive, prepare for the floodgates of banning alcohol, porn, cigarettes, and more.

This does not align with what is happening in reality. Banning addictive things is nothing new. We've banned hard drugs for ages. It did not result in an unstoppable wave of bans.

> Does anyone else find it weird to see so many comments on sites like Hacker News that are in favor of governments regulating what adults can consume? Years ago sites like HN and Slashdot were universally in agreement about internet freedoms, but now it's common to see people inviting government control of the internet for adults. I don't get it.

At least to me internet freedoms are largely about maintaining the freedoms we've already set in the offline world. Spying on people's activity in their home is illegal. Spying on people's activity on their home systems (e.g. their tablet or PC) should be illegal, too. It's about maintaining the rights we already know. It's not about creating new rights, which allow for anything and everything.
The repair documentation is appallingly sparse, unfortunately.

> I can forgive people for forgetting to mention that Baltic states were part of Russia for centuries before they were re-annexed by the USSR in 1945. Indeed I can see how people had 20 years of independence and weren't fans of being included into a socialist utopia.

There's fair bit more history than the 20 years of independence squished by Russians in 1940. Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were always very distinct from Russia in religion, language, culture, education and other key areas. A good example of this are literacy rates in European part of Russian empire recorded during 1897 census.[1] Even two centuries later, the effect of protestantism and the trace of school system established by Sweden is clearly visible. Moreover, Estonia and Latvia weren't even ruled by Russians, but by Baltic German nobility, and the main language used in administrative affairs was German.

Likewise, to portray Georgia as a mere "province of Russian Empire" is ridiculous given that they are so distinct that you cannot even read what they write, because they use a different alphabet. Finland or Georgia are no more "a part of Russia" than than Egypt and India are characterized by labeling them as "former British provinces" (with a subtext that they belong to Britain).

Very much depends on the framework. I'm currently building a GitHub App with the Probot framework, which mostly just handles authentication boilerplate and some testing niceties, then just gives you an authenticated GitHub API client (no facade/abstraction).

Then of course there's the many web application frameworks, because nobody in their right mind would want to implement http request parsing themselves (outside of academic exercises).

In fact, I would argue that most popular frameworks exist precisely because it's often more time efficient to forget about underlying details. All computer software is built on abstraction. The key is picking the right level of abstraction for your use case.
> Non-profits pay sales taxes,

It may vary by state, but I used to work at a private, non-profit educational institution in Missouri, and I know we didn't have to pay sales tax for our purchases. I now work for an online retail business in Colorado, and our sales team routinely waives sales tax for non-profits (from various states) with the correct documentation (usually also educational institutions, fwiw).
Brilliant. I love the simplicity

Teams were normally organized so you'd need the least amount of cross office communication as possible because it was recognized how inefficient it was. So yes they were "remote" but everything was organized to make sure you need to communicate with them as little as possible.

i'm gunna bury this here, but pfizer said their tests in africa were 100% effective for the sars-ncov-2 vaccines.

It is in their interest to ... fudge the truth a little.

Now pfizer did this a different time by removing 2/3rds of the treatment group, and only counting "infections" if they occurred after all doses/boosters were administered. If you compare actual results to what pfizer published and claimed, you see that it was 7 infections in the placebo group and over 100 in the test group. they claimed <7 in the treatment group (i don't think it was 0, but it was like 2), and 7 in the placebo, saying "see, reduced infections by 80%!" Well, yeah, if you don't count infections and remove 2/3rds of the people who would have counted as infections possibly.

which means, and you don't even have to squint very hard, that the vaccine was actually increasing the chances of infection.
