Dude, "LOL online orders exist" is not the slam-dunk you think it is here.

First, that single weekend's 8.6k sales (if the timestamps are to be believed) are than Tesla's Canada sales for the entire prior month (Dec 2024) as well as exceeding the total for any month in 2024.

Second, even a mob of frenzied Canadians car-buyers would probably fall more-evenly across different sellers, and across more days of the month, rather than being so unusually-concentrated.

Finally, remember that the incentive program was already slated to end within another month or two, not a year later or whatever. This places limits on how big we can expect the crowd of procrastinating car-buyers to be, especially since for most people cars are not impulse-buys.
It is dumb and the comments here are baffling. People are blaming Google for forks not being able to keep up. Like forks can be based on webkit or gecko if they don't like Google. Both Apple and MSFT are far far more closed in all their products where they have any inertia. Yet Google gets the flame mostly because of their incompetent PR and legal execution. Case in point Google got flamed here so much for dragonfly, while Bing keeps running in China and even sometimes by mistake or not applies Chinese sensors to the rest of the world. The sacred Apple also works in China following all their laws. But Google is worse than both just for attempting dragonfly.
Russia is not disintegrating under any circumstance, it will always remain, not only because it is a nuclear power.
The comment you replied to is also saying that they find the Brave crypto annoying.
A company owning a web browser isn't the problem. A company owning a web browser, OS and search engine shouldn't be a problem either. I don't know why the remedy can't actually address the problem, and the DOJ can't move more quickly to address antitrust across the industry. This feels like randomly cutting a baby in half, while the rest of the thieves, even those in the same family, are not deterred.

you don't have to be particularly well connected in prison to get access to a phone. Just knowing who to talk to and being able to give them something they want. phones are right up there with drugs and tobacco being smuggled into prisons.
I find Youtube amazing when you never leave subscriptions page (excluding all clutter such as community posts and short videos), just a list of videos from creators you find entertaining.
Yes. And one that's also an adversary of another adversary and therefore, as some have observed, a friend in this limited context, too.
Microsoft put bread on my table. I started working in a company that was operating 99% of their servers with MS OS. I don't see it that "I am wasting time", I see it that there is this tech called "Windows" and the more I know about Registry, DLLs, etc. is making me better at my job.

If Fedora setup puts food on your table, go for it!! I 'bet' on Microsoft for my career and it has taken me around the world multiple times, so yeah :)

Tbh I don't change machines 'that' often. My laptop is from 2015. My desktop is 3? 4? years old, and I won't be changing either in the next 5-6 years, they do 'ok' for home use.

But every now and then (couple of years) I do buy some second-hand cheap Surface, or HP Elite, or similar Win tablets, I set them up, and keep them on the side (OS, and Firefox only) just in case someone will need an urgent laptop, or I travel somewhere and I want a 'burner' machine with zero data/sw in it.
Oh really? I did not know that. Sounds a lot better than the other way around

Wouldn't 'acting surprised' at such things be merely performative? I don't think anyone in this thread is surprised either.
A friend of mine used to call me with technical/programming issues. He would explain the problem on the phone and suddenly come up with the solution, then thank me profusely even though I didn't really do anything. I don't know whether he was an ADHD case or not, but I thought he was, and he used to speak with a pronounced stutter especially when excited. Spending any time with him would make clear why: thoughts and ideas came at him so fast they were difficult to serialize through speech.

Anyways, I'm not sure whether this is "body doubling" or "rubber ducking", or even if there isn't significant overlap between the two concepts.
Going on Fox News from inside prison is not the way a pardon gets requested.
Yeah, if you need to do things across processes then something like Redis or memcached might be necessary.

The thing that bothers me is people adding it in places that don't make sense; I mentioned in a sibling thread that the I've seen people use it as a glorified global variable in stuff like Kafka streaming. Kafka's stuff is already partitioned, you likely don't gain anything from Redis compared to just keeping a local map, and at that point you can just use a Guava Cache and let it handle invalidation in-process.

That was a bad time for KDE. They pushed 4 out with a lot of fanfare and it turned out that GUI wise it was a bad windows vista clone that broke every great established KDE 3.5 application.

Definite enshitification. They took something great and replaced it with a craptastic DE that didn't reach feature parity for a decade!

I bailed for XFCE at the time, never gone back to KDE, wouldn't trust them to not do the same thing again.

I did read the article, but the obvious rebuttal is that "abuse is higher" really translates as "abuse is more frequently reported, confirmed and punished." It's not shocking that an organization which has dedicated a vast amount of time, effort and money to hiding its misdeeds has... hidden some of its misdeeds.
“The medium is the message” goes both ways though. For social media, the inverse is not just “go read a book” but the far more challenging “go write a book”. That’s just not something I’m going to do. I’m certainly not going to find a publisher, get past the gatekeepers, and find a wide enough audience to make the big chunk of time I had to devote to writing worth it.
Since you are hosting your blog on your personal server, I would just go with Mixpanel or postHog. They are quite easy to integrate and they enable you to track some more specific events that might be relevant for you.

While I agree with you that Ukraine vs. Putin is clear-cut, morally speaking, I don't think we can apply pre-Atomic Age logic to the situation. I just watched this scene in Crimson Tide:

XO Hunter: "...I just think that in the nuclear world, the true enemy can't be destroyed."

Captain Ramsey: "Attention on deck. Von Clausewitz will now tell us exactly who the real enemy is. Von?"

XO Hunter: "In my humble opinion... in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself."

I think that's the difference. In WWII, appeasing Hitler was a mistake because it only emboldened him. Even back then, Tolkien had reservations about how far to take the war. While he abhorred Hitler, he initially supported Neville Chamberlain's "appeasement" policy.

But today, a nuclear Russia cannot be defeated the way Germany was. "In the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself."

We cannot allow a nuclear war to happen, even if it means letting Putin have Ukraine.

The question everyone is wrestling with is, how do we save Ukraine while preventing nuclear war? Unfortunately, we don't know the answer, and the risk of getting it wrong is catastrophic.
>Measles were 95%+ reduced

That were your words. Not "Measles mortality was reduced". And you didn't provide a source. So clutch your pearls elsewhere and be clearer about what you mean next time.

Yes, mortality was drastically reduced due to a number of factors. But this has very little to do with the question, if children should get vaccinated against measles today.

Vaccination is not (always) about the individual that is vaccinated. It is about herd immunity that saves the lives and health of even the people who can't be or aren't vaccinated. The newborn. The immuni-compromized. The freak incident where an immunization doesn't prove effective. etc. It's important for outbreaks to not accelerate rapidly, straining local health systems.

If JFK jr thinks that "good nutrition" is in some way a replacement for a comprehensive vaccination campaign and herd immunity, he is nuts and should by kept away from any role in government with a ten foot pole. People are literally dying of a completely preventable disease right now that was judged to be eradicated in the US even a few years ago and you are babbling about "nutrition". Listen to yourself! It's a solved problem and people like JFK jr are literally killing people by undermining the solution.

How to Assess Peer Review Quality
> a) first, i didnt tell her my assumption?!!!

You approached her cold on the street knowing nothing about her but her appearance. You don't need to tell your assumption. Women have brains.

> you are sounding like: "do not do any of those assumptions because they are wrong and listen..."

While I may have an opinion on the assumptions you are making, I am not at all expressing that. What I am expressing is that you are failing to consider important factors in your calculation, namely, the social context, and the impapct of the social context on the way your actions are perceived by someone doing their own set of calculations.

> what about all this buff then: "why does nobody invites me on a date?

This is about what happens in social contexts where dating intent is signalled, not in those where it is not.

> and "why do men do not speak to women openly"

"Speaking" here is not code for "invite on dates", and, again, this still is sensitive to appropriate social contexts.

> Men have to approch Women, so i did. And failed.

You have confused a broad (though not universal) social expectation that men should be the party to approach women with the concept that it is equally beneficial to do so in any social context and all that matters is that there is a woman you think you might want to date present to make it appropriate. This is...incorrect.

You have managed to wrap your brain around (even if you may have overgeneralized it) a single social expectation. Your success may be improved when you increase your capacity for processing social expectations relevant to your task to a quantity greater than one.
I removed the Pocket button from the toolbar with 2 clicks when I setup Firefox a couple months ago and haven't thought about it since. It takes me about 5 minutes to change the Firefox settings to my liking from a fresh install. Firefox sure isn't perfect by a long shot, but the constant haranguing makes me a bit sad
After a quick look: input seems to be a screenshot - but this would omit quite a lot of useful information.

E.g.

- email app might not show the actual sender email adress but just their "name"

- links can look legit on a screenshot (e.g. yourBank.com) but the actual linked address is scamYou.com.

Given these obvious limitations, I'm really doubtful how trustworthy this solution can be.

Plus:

- the contact page does not show any names, just claims a " team of cybersecurity experts "

- about page in the footer 404s out.

This could as well just be a scam itself to read others' emails.

> The moderation is completely opaque so if a subreddit moderator doesn't like something you've said they can remove it at will, and they often do.

That's true of any real community in the physical world, too.

I'd go as far as saying that it's impossible to have fully inclusive and 100% objectively fair community that's also interesting, or even a community. It's not how humans operate, it's not what they want from a community, and even trying to enforce this "perfection" would require infinite resources feeding an omnipresent bureaucracy to moderate perfect order and compliance into people.

My mom grew up in Wisconsin, in a farm town that was little more than a crossroads with a church, a school (K-8, high schoolers went to the nearest big-town high school), a post office... and a bar. The bar was for the farmers to meet and socialize over a beer. As you said, not really to party, just have human contact and find out what else is going on in the area.

Literally everybody that ever existed has told things that weren't entirely true.

Wherever its an exaggeration, misunderstanding or just something they misremembered, all of these will have occurred to everyone multiple times throughout their lives.

By this truth, you cannot trust anyone. Which might be true - but definitely isn't healthy either.

An intelligent person can understand what is encryption if they really want to. A member of a parliament that is trying to revoke all encryption, everywhere, does it because his/her masters demand so, not because they care.

Also, a good politician hates 'encryption' because they can't read your messages, read your mind, so you are dangerous because you can have independent thought which they cannot identify in order to manipulate.

Facebook/Cambridge Analytica is an amazing example for this.
The iZEV rebate is paid to the the point of sale who in turn is supposed to knock that price down for the owner. So it is a 'dealer' in that Tesla itself is the dealership.

So yes it is suspicious. Especially considering that the Model Y starts much more expensive then it's competitors like the Mach E, the Ioniq 5, the EV6, the Equinox/Blazer, and Prologue. The only main advantage Tesla has is the Supercharger network and better software experience.

Whether anything comes of it or not is an entirely different matter because there are ways of doing this that do not violate the letter of the law.
Built a Tool to Simplify Trip Planning – Seeking Feedback from Fellow Builders
I've always found planning trips with friends unnecessarily complicated—endless group chats, scattered plans, and last-minute changes. I wanted to see if technology could make this easier, so I built PathPlan—a tool that helps people:

Generate itineraries effortlessly with AI.
Plan and collaborate on trips with friends in a structured way.
Find and connect with like-minded travel companions.
Visualize their journey through an interactive map.
This started as a small experiment to remove friction from the planning process, but I’d love to hear feedback from others who enjoy solving similar problems. How do you currently approach trip planning, and what pain points do you think tech can help solve better?

Would appreciate any thoughts!
A simple middle ground would be confinement to your cell with a book or two, but still in the presence of people. You'd take your meals there, not in the cafeteria. You wouldn't get to hang out with people or go outside. The jail equivalent of a time out. Not fun, probably boring, but not literal psychological torture.
I'm just so tired of this VC urge to monetize every possible aspect of human interaction. You're selling yourself as a "community", but instead of actually doing that you lure people in with a free trial, to then use the friendships people make to lock them into a ridiculous 40€/month subscription.

This is complete nonsense.

I don't love the CEO bonuses, but they are objectively less than half a percent of Mozilla's budget. Google search on the other hand is 85% of their revenue.
They can (and that's probably the right choice for a lot of use cases, especially for small data structures and infrequently updated ones), but serializing and storing them in a database requires you to (in your application code) implement synchronization logic and pay the performance cost for said logic; for instance, if you want to `append` to a shared list, you need to deserialize the list, append to the end of it in your application code, and write it back to the DB. You'd need use some form of locking to prevent appends from overwriting each other, incurring a pretty hefty perf penalty for hot lists. Also, reading an entire list/tree/set/whatever back just to add/delete one element is very wasteful (bandwidth/[de]serialization cost-wise)
I regularly use Twitter's search function with "latest" reverse chrono results, to follow topics without following people, and it works fine. I have a few bookmarked to save the typing and adjust the searches occasionally to refine them, minusing out some word or person, or adding another term to drill in (see advanced search for a decent set of options.)

My point is, search still works. We don't have to take their feed, or even the feed we create following people. We can just search that shit out. And search results bookmarks in a folder work great for managing that.
