Yes, I think that's the point.

Yea this is also a big problem I have. I can't stand having to reorganize my windows when I go back and forth from desk with monitor to laptop.

I want the window manager to remember where I had the window and move it back when I plug in. Now I just mirror and have a bigger monitor becaused I can't deal with that horseshit.

There is no reason for that to be baked into the browser. That can absolutely be a cross-browser/platform layer that won't need to worry about dying as a walled garden with no visitors.

Ah yes, the computers of my youth at K-8 primary school. I spent many a computer period playing such fine games as Mathville and Offshore Fishing. Damn you, shark!

Sure but its fine for individual parts to fail if the manufacturer will repair/replace that part. Spares of easily user-replaceable parts can even be included with the product, like spare fuses often were.

It's not necessary to achieve zero failures, but it creates incentives for manufactures to use higher quality parts.

I am supportive of setting minimum lifespans for certain classes of products and to expwct manufacturers to be liable for that performance.

GitHub has a feed?

Financial profitability is not a requirement for infrastructure projects. If it is the best way to supply power in the most sustainable way, it should be subsidized by governments to make it happen. If you want to pretend it balances on paper add eco taxes elsewhere, but again thats not necessary.

Yes, we have not correctly priced (taxed) empty property yet. If municipal government would charge say 100% value as property tax when mostly empty (as a starting point, say it is the primary residence of nobody for 180 days in the last 360), then it would be treated very differently.

Great, now just do the same thing for making all hospitals in the state (and later the nation) forced to bill at "in network" rates. then with a final step of capping the premiums paid according to income with the rest automatically covered by social programs, the USA might finally get to something sort of like a sane healthcare system.

Temporarily, perhaps. The risk is that without planning that oversupply leads to a period of greater shortage due to cancelled production, bankruptcy etc.

Well maybe it should? Perhaps we should prevent airlines from overselling and forcing people off? You've sold the seat. Thats a dine deal. You can negotiate to buy it back sure but I can decline any or all offers.

It's not unreasonable to expect them to plan ahead better. Perhaps they need to have more jumpseats, or force them to displace the highest paying customer first to discourage that kind of planning.

There are many more humane options available when we realize we should be in control of the rules governing their operations, if only this whole shitstorm wasnt massively corrupt.

It would be really helpful to see an animated model of the wing stroke. It's rather difficult to visualize for someone (like me) unfamiliar with the language of this specialty.

The solution here is to repeal DMCA 1201 or add a condition that actual infringement of copyright is necessary for it to apply.

All these bullshit schemes depend on it and absolutely are anticompetitive monopoly behaviour we should not allow.

Yup, turned out that inventory isn't pure capital waste after all. It's an insurance policy, an investment in stability.

Bring back inventory.

Yea this doesn't really work when the resource is also necessary to live and in parallel has massive externalities not being properly accounted for.

This is some praise the market reductive lunacy. Obviously energy production, pricing and consumption needs to be heavily regulated in any sensible society.

There will be others. I'll wait.

It can't print. It doesn't support printing. If I need to print (to paper or PDF) something like an order receipt for an insurance claim or a shipping label to return something, I need to use another browser.

I still use it, but this annoys me ~weekly.

Yes but I think the suggestion is that the taxes ought to (eventually) exceed the gains from asset value growth. We should want active main streets, and discourage squatters with empty space.

Unfortunately many have also opened the doors to so-called third party marketplace sellers. It's making the experience of looking for items online worse. Some label this poorly, some offer no easy way to filter to only items sold by the actual company.

Oh absolutely. It's that smasher skill to edge out an advantage when the only real limit is input speed. Made those later "press X repeatedly to survive!" quick time type things super easy.

Man I miss gaming.

Maybe we should take the best of both worlds then: an extension that only knows which domains you have passwords saved for, but not the account or PW. It just serves as a red flag if the domain is suspect.

I tend to agree that ML will not itself be the subject, but rather a device or tool misused by Someone Bad. As you say, it's a necessary and integral piece of the story, but not the star.

For example, it brings to mind some combination of Minority Report and Eagle Eye, say. Where a surveillance state combined with ML analysis leads to something akin to pre-crime arrests and the fight back against that.

I've found some success in replacing that with similar routines, for example walking the dog before and after work. It's a pseudo-commute that allows similar mental preparation/release.

This worked well pre-covid. Since covid hit ...overall I'm struggling with bleeding boundaries. The pandemic anxiety makes it hard for me to settle in my basement office, so I use other spaces around the house.

There really need to be rules about this kind of crap. It's nasty business.

Exactly, the new stuff is too cheap compared to the recycling option only because we don't properly account for the long term costs of the new goods.

I'd like to see the cost of waste and re-use placed entirely on producers. If you sell something you have to accept it's waste back. I think we would see a big shift to reusable durable containers.

Buying food is necessary to stay alive. Kids attending school in person is not.

If there were a real plan in place to ensure safety, and if adults were willing to sacrifice in other areas like going out to bars then school could work if we had consistent isolated groups.

As it stands, at least in Ontario, there's been a strong push to "open up" bars and restaurants etc which to me is public mixing incompatible with the mixing of students in a class. Pick one: school or everything else.

Traffic accidents don't follow a pattern of exponential propagation, nor do most other "everyday risks of life". A new virus is certainly exceptional circumstances warranting exceptional response.

Similar story in Toronto area. People are supposedly out shopping, but not so much buying.

Family friend had a home listed for almost 100 days and finally pulled it after dropping around 15% off the ask.

Same reason, more room to cram ads you have to scroll past to see the actual recipe.

Honestly, that feels like a huge waste of your own time to game a broken system. And I'm guessing it is, but that it's a defensive move because the darker timeline is miserable.

Sucks it has to be this way so often.
