What you describe is not "giving the homeless a home" its giving them a temporary, poor substitute for a home that they have no personal interest in"

Also your sweeping statement about the destruction of their living space smells to high heaven prejudiced thinking based on myth or hearsay rather than actual data.

Everyone thinks they want to read a PDF on something that isn't a desktop or an A4 sheet of paper, and then they try it and realize that there are basically no PDFs that are laid-out in a way that could be feasibly consumed on such a device.

In addition to that, writing heuristics to try and make it possible to unify the experience of reading any arbitrary PDF is such a quagmire/shitshow that basically no one is willing to step up and try to make it possible.

I have never once wanted to read a PDF on my Kindle and I'm not entirely sure why anyone would. Mostly because reading PDFs on something like kindle would be a shit show (I assume this is entirely why they haven't added that functionality).

I've owned probably 10+ kindles, including the DX, and I think its honestly the bit of technology I used _the most_ outside of my iPhone.

Because they are there and they don't have money to go elsewhere, its not about "Where they feel entitled to live"

A bald face lie if I've ever heard one

Everything in this thread is anecdotal

There's no "opposition" because your entire argument is predicated on a straw man that you have invented in your own mind.

How can you say there was no evidence found of Russian interference in the 2016 election? There was, in fact, a startling amount of evidence uncovered and made public.

That's significantly less than Manhattan which is perfectly fine.

I have no hard data, but having looked at the security content of a lot of these over the years I'd wager WebKit has serious issues like this crop up more than any other component in iOS.

the vast vast VAST majority of people using reddit are using the official mobile apps. The number of people using the web, and even alternative clients is like a drop of rain in a monsoon.

or fifty!!

All of these commanders are a rip of the original Norton Commander by John Socha in 1986. John also created the first screen saver and coined the term. His company also created the Microsoft Plus! addon for Windows 95 and screensavers for Win98.

Pretty cool dude!

Why should anyone care what you think on this topic?

Not wearing a seat belt is dangerous to others when you're catapulted through your windshield at 90mph into traffic. This is not the clear-cut case you want to make it out to be.

I haven't read the axios article but all the questions you asked were answered in the NYT article I read about it this morning.

* Its not disputed that he did earn money playing minor league baseball for $25/wk a couple years prior to the Olympics.

* The IOC rules stated that he could lose his medals for this, but there's only a 30 day window to enforce the rule. The IOC enforced this rule "the next year." I'm not sure if this was enforced unevenly, but there are insinuations that this was due to his race.

* In 1982, the IOC, under pressure, re-instated him as "Co-winner" of the medals to appease critics. This did not appease them.

Its funny, I considered Turing's state of mind to be not open enough to the possibility that he might be wrong.

Why would you assume this?

Yes. https://esahubble.org/projects/fits_liberator/download_v23/

Photoshop is literally just a matrix transformation engine for data that is highly optimized for ease of use, extensibility, and making visual representations of that data.

Humans cannot see infrared light

Best headphones/mic combo I've used for running AND video meetings are the AfterShokz (now "Shokz") AeroPex/OpenRun. I've not tried the `OpenComm` but its probably also good too.

Bone conduction so there's nothing touching your ears, long ~8hr battery life, super duper light (26g).

This is literally the Conservative ethos at play

Then you, by definition, are not ordinary.

The average person is impacted by capitalist market economy shenanigans on a continuous basis on nearly everything required to stay alive.

Its because American consumers value cheapness over everything else and American corporations value profit over anything else.

Setting aside the general decline of the printer industry, and simplifying slightly, those two interests compliment each other into:

1. Producing the cheapest possible product, and then selling it for a loss while concocting subscription schemes to make-up for the lost profits at the point of sale of the product.

2. Paying employees in general less and less money proportional to inflation to "reduce costs", thus forcing the average person to demand cheaper and cheaper products. Completing the cycle.

They might believe that they "believe" this, but their actions say otherwise.

Actually believing something and thinking you believe something are two wildly different things.

> Honestly, it seems you have the strange idea that a particular kind of urban living (that you probably prefer or idealize) is the only kind of good living, and therefore feel the need to take a piss on every other type.

That's odd I get the exact same vibe from you.

Pretty much nobody wants LinkedIn, why would they want an alternative?

Maybe the 1% of the management class who enjoy prattling on about "business" on the internet love it, but literally everyone else loathes its very existence, and not because they "want something better"

There would be a very real chance the police would simply just murder you and your family. There is ample precedent, in the united states, in most of our lifetimes.
