Solvitieg··on Twitter internal panel linked to account hijackings
I don't understand this angle because typically admin panels only let you manage the account; deactivate, manage email address, etc. As shown in the screenshots.

Tweeting on behalf of another user seems like an unnecessary feature to give admins.

Solvitieg··on YouTube deleted an electronics repair channel [video]
It's an obtuse statement but it seems fair.

Both have theories about the world that can't be reconciled with scientific data.

Solvitieg··on Health Effects of Coffee
I went to the dentist recently and they recommended I reduce stress in my life. So it's probably not that bad.
Solvitieg··on Health Effects of Coffee
Can someone provide more information on the 1-month recovery from caffeine induced anxiety? In my experience and from what I've read online, caffeine withdrawal typically lasts 1 or 2 weeks.

I recently quit drinking coffee hoping I could stop grinding my teeth in the night. It hasn't helped yet, but I quit only about 3 weeks ago.

An aside, grinding your teeth in the night is very problematic because it's not something you can directly resolve unless you get a mouth guard. Trying to pinpoint stressors in my life has been an arduous process.

Solvitieg··on YouTube tightens rules after David Icke 5G interview
What is the problem with believing 5G causes coronavirus? The people who believe it are misinformed, and so what?

I understand why it's harmful to spread anti-vax memes, but 99% of "misinformation" is harmless. It's often difficult to separate theory and conspiracy from harmful information, a dubious concept.

Solvitieg··on Bootstrap v5: drop Internet Explorer support
Your company is unable to upgrade their IE11-only software yet that same company is going to upgrade from Bootstrap 4 to 5 immediately?

Stay on Bootstrap 4. It will be supported until late 2021.

Solvitieg··on Updates to form controls and focus
After the "autocomplete" disaster, I'm very weary any time the Chromium team makes broad changes to form and form controls.
Solvitieg··on Becoming a high performing software developer working from your bedroom
Yeah I wonder.

Seems optimistic to be able to breakdown a project into 15 minute intervals.

Personally I do keep Todo lists, but it's more like scratch that I append many notes to.

I don't see the advantage in guessing how long each task will take down to the minute and then writing that into a table.

Solvitieg··on Becoming a high performing software developer working from your bedroom
Recognizing that you cannot produce value while multi-tasking was enough for me.

You're just doing surface-level work if you're able to watch Youtube videos.

Solvitieg··on Becoming a high performing software developer working from your bedroom
You drive home to get lunch?
Solvitieg··on Becoming a high performing software developer working from your bedroom
It has to be said that this 7-8% average is inflated due to being at the end (?) of a ten year bull market.

Vangaurd is predicting low growth of 3-4% over the next decade.

Solvitieg··on Teen Marijuana Vaping Soars, Displacing Other Habits
It's a good question. Arguably more important, are the side-effects permanent? Or has this IQ drop only been measured during cannabis consumption?
Solvitieg··on How does Apple get away with this UI?
Would you guys prefer we go back to the day where browsers weren't automatically updated? Oh but that's different right?
Solvitieg··on Jack Dorsey Needs to Step Down
Reminds me of the first part of Zawinski's law: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail."

Twitter could add features until it reaches feature parity with Facebook. But then it's no longer Twitter.

What defines a platform is its feature set. And by changing that you risk changing the platform.

Solvitieg··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
> We decide whether a Tweet that would otherwise violate the Twitter Rules is in the public interest using the following criteria and process:

Feeling blessed knowing that Twitter Safety is deciding what information is best for the American public.

Solvitieg··on macOS 10.15 Vista
I think the stagnation you're describing is not unique to Apple.

The marketplace has become much more competitive as innovation has pretty much stalled.

I'm thinking of moving back to Mac OS after being on Windows for the last six years.

Solvitieg··on Information operations directed at Hong Kong
The hive mind refuses to engage with hard-hitting analysis like this. Hence the down votes and no responses.

Outside of this scope, what is concerning me is that you can't hold a pro-china position. Look at the other comments here.

> I have some friends in China posting similar anti-protest posts on WeChat social media. It's like the news they read has a completely different story than what it's being told in legitimate new sources.

Holding a pro-china position apparently means you're reading fake news or part of a misinformation campaign.

The news we read is CORRECT, the news you read is WRONG.

We have the same problem here in the West. If you go against the church of progressivem you're a Russianbot.

Twitter needs to not get involved. It's election meddling, even if they take the "pro-democratic" side.

Solvitieg··on ISP Association Nominates Mozilla as “Internet Villain”
Which is ironic because they also nominated Article 13 for "threatening freedom of expression"
Solvitieg··on Reddit has quarantined /r/The_Donald
It's understandable that an engaged, political subreddit revolving around a controversial figure requires more admin oversight.
Solvitieg··on Bottle: A Bitcoin SV Browser
If we are posting data to the Bitcoin blockchain, does this data live alongside transaction data? And if so, are there fees to host this data (as we need to pay miners to include data in a block)?
Solvitieg··on Earbuds are bad for your hearing
One thing that's often overlooked is the noise levels of our streets (or environments more broadly).

Often I have to crank-up the volume on my phone because the street I'm walking along is so loud.

There are dump trucks, construction work, motorcycles, and buses driving and stopping only a few metres away, it can get loud very suddenly.

And I'm not traveling along highways. I live in downtown Vancouver, walking along one-way streets like Hornby.

Just something I've noticed recently.

Solvitieg··on Suicide Rates Among Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States, 2000-2017
I can't tell, are you implying young people are committing suicide because they think it's cool?

I don't think you are, but I'm wondering how this antidote comment is useful in a thread about suicide.

Solvitieg··on Facebook’s Cryptocurrency: Stop It Before It Starts
It's a problem only for the government and existing financial institutions. Looks no further than China.
Solvitieg··on The decline of the family has unleashed an epidemic of loneliness
Can we not conflate "right-wing"/conservatism with opinions like this? The topic we're discussing is not related to political leaning.
Solvitieg··on Google to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users
How about Brave or Dissenter?

Edit: I've just been informed this will effect all Chromium browsers. My goodness.

Solvitieg··on Show HN: CSSFX – Click-to-copy CSS effects
Focus on easy of use, however the author did not implement a :focus or :active state.

Not trying to be rude, but quite literally a default unstyled button has better easy of use than these stylized buttons.

Solvitieg··on Notre-Dame cathedral: Firefighters tackle blaze in Paris
This comment is not constructive and paints a false narrative.
Solvitieg··on If You Can’t Afford the Rent, It’s My Problem, Too
It's not just people moving to the area.

Also consider existing renters who need to move, or people who become renting-age.

I will need to move out of the city if I lose my place. I'm paying $1000 below market value.

Solvitieg··on Why I Quit Tech and Became a Therapist
It's so interesting that you had the discipline to save and retire, but upon retiring you didn't have the discipline to start any good habits.

Why do you think you dropped the ball after quitting your job? What would you do differently this time?

Solvitieg··on The New 30-Something
Parents should not make decisions about their children?

I am not liking where this thread is going.
