> If your insurance company tells you to do something in order to retain your nice rates

Yeah because insurance companies never actually look at real data and just go by their gut feelings on everything.

If insurance rates are increasing in areas which don't have these cabinets, it's probably because there are more claims due to shrink in those areas from stores which don't have cabinets. If it truly is because of insurance rates I'd say that'd be excellent data (or that they have that data) to point out it is because of shrink.
There is zero humane justification to require any chronically ill person to present a coupon to afford a regular medication that they would otherwise die without. Zero.
"Can be seen by anyone in the world except for tom because fuck tom" isn't a different "level of public", it's just caprice. As the GP mentioned, if you want to restrict who can see your tweets, set your account to private.
"The famous Texas anime" is King of the Hill. People in Japan argue over whether watching it is better with subs or dubs. It's a slice of life anime in all but drawing style and origin.
I agree if getting a seat at the table requires some vetting, but if something is being shouted publicly into a megaphone your analogy doesn't work. If something is so public that a logged out user can see it, it's weird of a logged in account to not see it.
Same. Being into anime (and gaming, and RPGs, and sci-fi, etc.) marked you as an outcast nerd when I was a kid.

Nowadays, most of it is nearly mainstream. Granted there is still some weirdness like grown 40yo men obsessed with schoolgirl harem anime...

For that to happen, you would have to be very unlucky: all of your measurements would have to be 2e, 4e, 6e, etc. If a 3e or 5e sneaked in there, you'd realize that the charge was e, not 2e. With enough measurements, you can be confident that you've hit all the expected multiples of the quantum.
Competing products such as the Nomad stand, Zen, Courant tray are $100-140. I happily paid for each.

The design and high quality materials were worth it to me for the same reasons you wanted this design — it is functional art and doesn’t look out of place next to my other quality items I see and use daily.

I could see paying $120 for this dock. I bet this is the kind of thing that would succeed on Kickstarter. Sure, I could print and assemble it myself but that would cost me more than $120 in parts and labor.
Studio MAPPA was effectively grinding down the souls of their artists during the production of Jujutsu Kaisen [0]. The linked article is just one of many. The work conditions at MAPPA seem pretty unreasonable to me, so I'd consider them exploitative. These animators aren't being given any creative freedom either.

In my experience in the arch industry this type of space planning is more used in large buildings with a lot of different spaces (think college buildings). Usually the building is already built but being "renovated". A residential house doesn't really have the need for this type of algorithmic design for < 10 rooms.

> It's only inertia that keeps it in London

Not at all!

Over a decade in banking, I have witnessed this argument resurface time and again in the context of the US. Indeed, it's true that two of the nation's largest banks, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, are headquartered in Charlotte. Hedge funds predominantly anchor themselves in Greenwich. GS has relocated its back-office operations to Salt Lake City. JPMorgan conducts risk analytics out of Columbus. CC processing is entirely Wilmington, commodities desk entirely Chicago.

However, despite these geographic shifts in various financial functions, the heart of the financial world remains unmistakably tethered to Wall Street. For the foreseeable future, the nexus of global finance will continue to pulse through New York City. To suggest otherwise is a fundamental misreading of the industry's deeply entrenched culture. Just as in London, where finance is inextricably woven into the fabric of the city, New York represents more than just a place—it is the embodiment of finance itself. The gravitational center of this world does not and will not shift to places like Utah, Ohio, Delaware or North Carolina. It is, and will remain, rooted in global financial hubs such as New York, London, Mumbai, and Hong Kong. To imagine otherwise is an exercise in futility.

It's not a lot, because I printed it with an infill of 10%. You can increase it, and make it around 40% or 50%. Some people also use sands to make it heavy. For now it doesn't bother me and I think because I'm putting other things on top of the tray, it doesn't move around easily.
Literature helps us find meaning and understand the world
I saw this exhibition a few weeks ago.

My generally feeling was it didn't work that well, mostly because the MAD stuff is very dense, more dense than you'd expect from painting in an art gallery. A lot of it is also very dependent on pop culture that has changed in the interim.

Probably the two best pieces were the direct parodies of the Rockwell paintings, exhibited next to the pieces they parodied.

The Rockwell museum also made an effort to exhibit some of Rockwell's most humorous pieces in some of the side galleries, which worked well here.
You should be fine, go for it :)

>To a first approximation, "extract profit from this" means providing goods/services that people are willing to pay money for.

This is too generous, particularly with regards to a16z coming into an already existing market. In reality, it's more akin to taking something that already exists in a form that people enjoy and are already willing to pay for, and both bastardizing and cannibalizing it into something of lesser quality just so that you can have additional excuses to charge more money for things that you never used to charge money for before.

"Nice thing you have there, be a shame if we fucked it up so that we could make more money off of it," is a mental illness.

I haven't tried copilot yet. I have tried Claude 3.5, which is unexpectedly brilliant. I use it very regularly. But almost entirely useful for writing new code, not fixing old code.

I take your point with respect to understanding large existing codebases. AIs don't yet seem to deal well with strategic large-context thinking. But things are changing at such a furious pace, so that may change sometime much sooner than either of us expect. But you are right. At the present moment in time, AIs are not particularly good at that.

But overall, I am much more optimistic than you are. I think AIs will save us time, so that we can spend more time on issues of overall structure that make "spending months to understand a codebase" a thing of the very distant past. I have certainly worked on codebases that require "months to understand". But I would (perhaps naively) like to think that's a symptom of a disease that codebases shouldn't have, and that modern codebases usually don't have anymore (but sometimes do).
Though the most popular anime by far around the world is shonen. Which caters to the typical male teen/pre-teen audience, but also adults and is typically characterized by action, typical underdog protagonist stereotypes of a loner, outcast, who develops a tight knit support group or team on their quest to overtake or defeat a great evil in the world.

E.g. One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Attack on Titan, etc.

I bought solar panels from a door-to-door sales guy and signed some papers cuz he knew a friend of mine and seemed honest.

They've been fast at creating new preview features. Actually landing finalized features though? In my view they're taking too long. When I compare Java and Python in this respect -- and I do as a working programmer in both on a frequent basis -- Java is still slow.
This is less of a glowing win for Reddit and more of a harsh indictment of the current state of the internet.

The internet 15+ years ago was not perfect, but you could at least search for a topic and get a real human opinion from someone's website. Nowadays search is so useless from SEO-optimized fluff that if you just want an experienced opinion on something, you have to search Reddit.
Unlikely that its problematic, brands/stores know that positioning/caging on shelves matter and negotiate accordingly. Eye level sells more than top/floor shelf.
Cloudflare has probably noticed those proxy networks are quite expensive.
Most people who watched it enjoyed it. Jordan fans were big on it (at least from what I saw at JordanCon and WoTCon). Will people not like certain things, sure. The issue is that YouTubers will complain about anything these days and rage videos get more traction, so it's easier to pile on, and people who wouldn't watch it complain about how bad it is.

I wouldn't put to much weight on someone not liking something. After all, either they haven't watched it all, or they are watching something they don't like. And that's not someone's taste I trust.

Dick Bartolo one of the writers for Mad used to host The Giz Wiz on twit.tv. It was a daily review of all kinds of random gadgets that come up, it looked to be a life long fascination with those advertisements in the back of magazines. Promise the world and deliver rubbish.

He saw one that had "10 indestructible Fry pans for $1". He knew had had to get them because of how rubbish they would be. Apparently you fold them in half like paper they were so thin.

Edit : Just looked it up, he wrote MAD-vertising. So there you go.
I steal a bunch of candybars from a convenience store. What am I going to do, sell them for $1-2/ea just like the bodega? The high-margin goods like beer and wine require licenses to sell; I lose any benefit of plausible deniability in where I got these goods when I try and fence these on the street or online. Selling them without proper license is always a crime and practically impossible online.

Meanwhile I steal a bunch of vitamins and OTC drugs I can sell at $10-20/bottle, packs of underwear at $10-20 a package. A lot of this can even be sold through Amazon at full retail pricing, I don't even have to try and sell it on the street.

A ball point pen dispenses ink by the little ball rotating. So the lid is more to prevent that happening than to stop the residual ink dying.

That said, the only time I've ever had a ball point leak is when the ball is upwards and the ink reservoir opening down, so I would always put the lid on and pop it in the pocket lid down, making a mockery of the clip.

10% in this case is $2. Hardly anything worth noting.

Like, it matters that all the boxes were of equal value. There should have been boxes of multiple values, where the apparent value was on top, in middle, on bottom, and mixed.

Then if the snap judges valued all the boxes on the tops, while the sleepers had better estimates, that would say something. But that's not what they did. They made all the boxes of equal value, had them choose. But you can't win or lose.

They could have also had people rank the boxes from most to least valuable. Which would be funny since all the boxes are equal. But they didn't do that either.

This is the sort of "soft science" study in which the results will never get repeated, but the conclusions will get repeated ad nauseum as some sort of universal truth. Like the marshmallow test, the samaritan test, the Milgram experiment, etc.
> Capital follows the most profitable investments.

I think a common error is that people forget the "most" in this sentence. It is a very important word. It's not even that only profitable investments will get funded: even profitable projects might get left on the cutting room floor if they are competing for resources with projects that will generate, or are believed to generate, higher ROI.

And this maybe isn't a problem if higher ROI == better than. But to believe that, you have to also believe that enshittification is a thing that happens in spite of being less profitable (or unprofitable), which for me at least is a hard sell.

> And I'd say that it's questionably legal. If a store charged you more money because you were using a gift card, I think we'd all agree that the store had unjustly taken value from you. Here, Uber is allegedly charging people with credits a higher amount - essentially stealing gift card value.

Lots of things work this way though.

1) Airlines charge more to fly direct from A -> B while charging less for someone to fly from A -> B -> C. Some people try skiplagging to game the system but you run the risk of getting banned by the airline if you do that.

2) Another hilarious experience I have had is when I was paying things for my wedding. Some vendors (florists, cake makers, etc) will charge outrageous rates if you tell them it's for a wedding. But they will charge very reasonable rates if you claim it is just for a non-wedding family event (for the same amount of flowers, same size/layers of cake, etc).

3) A similar thing I have been warned about is electricians charging more if you claim you want an EVSE installed for your new Tesla as opposed to having just a regular NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in your garage. For the former, they will quote much higher while the quotes are cheaper for the latter (this is despite the exact amount of work and materials - you can even get them to confirm they are going to use the same gauge wire, etc).

I think they can do all of these tricks but once it becomes known that they are engaging in these shenanigans, it will dilute the value of their credits. So if Costco tries to sell me $100 Uber gift card for 20% off, then I will instantly value that 20% discount to be worth 0% and not purchase that gift card ever.

I think it's doable with a parametric design in Fusion but it is definitely more work up-front or re-work after you have a working version. Getting a well parameterized and set of constrained sketches can be a time consuming process since I don't do it every day. It's probably the part I've struggled with the most in making 3D printable designs (I'm not OP but design cosplay props for my kids) since I don't always know what I want the final dimensions to be.

You've taken my points backwards, again, for some reason. They don't _experience_ competition so they feel _comfortable_ doing this. I'm talking about the chicken, you're looking for the egg, which hatched already, years ago, the evidence this occurred is _the existence of the chicken_.

I live in Paraguay, electricity is 5c / kWh, it would cost 15 cents to desalinate 1000 liters of water. That is absurdly cheap even in Paraguay.

Malawian's seem to be able to afford corruption, I'm sure if they took the corruption money and put it towards desal they could afford it.

This article sounds pretty dumb, there's no point in desalinating every drop of water when the earth already does it for us, and especially not for farming.

If people want to live in an area that is a desert then they need to pay for desal. Most people don't live in those areas because you can't farm there without building greenhouses / aquaculture.
