Except as soon as the started curating their content (algorithmic feeds; like/comment sharing) they started become publishers. If they solely made connections and forwarded messages, then they'd be carriers.

> Would anyone else just be fine with a thick phone that had a better internal battery?

I think you miss the point of maximizing the customization of the phone. Because phones have to be in a single unit, user customization can only be done through external peripherals (vs. desktop PC where individual components can be customized).

To make the external peripherals as non-invasive as possible, the phone should be as small as possible while still being usable for most use cases. For example, if battery is your priority, get a case that has a built in external battery; many exist. Then you can have your extended battery, while a user who doesn't care about it, can have a smaller phone.

> This is what happens when you keep printing money

The problem isn't "printing money", inflation is a good thing as it encourages investment and maintains the movement of money. The problem is that printed money is only being put towards one purpose - capital markets - so the capital markets are what inflates (at the expense of everything else). If the printed money was being used on infrastructure payments, or some other distributed investment, the inflation would go to general labor first, which then would spread the inflation across the entire economy as they made individual purchase decisions.

I really like the way Nyxt generates keyboard combos for clickable links (like this image [0]). Does anyone know if there's a program that creates something similar for Windows? Where every clickable element in the focused programs would have one of these tags generated for it.

What does "store of value" mean when the only value you can extract from it, is value that other people put in? Otherwise it wouldn't be any different than holding onto a $20 bill (and having inflation destroy it's purchasing power)

The iPhone has used a 120hz touch digitizer for a long time, while Android phones have usually used only a 60hz touch digitizer. So while the screen refresh rate was only 60hz, they could start reacting and creating the animation sooner.

My guess would be that the buzzer is so that the listeners know the station is still "up" and hasn't been destroyed

If someone is older than 50, they most likely have a cable subscription and watch it there. Fox News has never been on broadcast (antenna) television

Except most accidents are cause by drivers not paying attention (distracted / fatigued / alcohol) or from speeding[0], not from being unable to identify the traffic around them. So giving them more information wouldn't help them reduce accidents, reducing the requirement of driver attention would (i.e. self-driving cars)

Not OP, but in my reading of your case study, you still made a framework. Instead of having a code-based framework, where the methods and classes enforce how you implement your system - you created a convention-based framework (use a specific CSS naming technique, model your JS on this template, etc.).

Are you collecting data for a scream-detection service?

This setup sounds like the "judge" would just end up judging how well, and how much, the proctor helped the candidate with their task.

As an interviewee, get a strict proctor that doesn't want to give out information? Well you're not going to appear as competent as the interviewee who got the proctor that wanted the interview to be fun

> I imagine you could enclose the sides with glass or plastic and make a greenhouse from it

FTA - that's why they tested on basil and spinach. Both crops are commonly grown in greenhouses

> you own 51% of your company but over time you're forced to become a minority shareholder just in order to pay the tax, or you owned 100% of it and are required to take on external investment over time just to stay in business

Doesn't this assume the owner receives no other income? I assume owners either receive a salary from the company, or are paid a dividend with which they could use to pay the monetary-valued tax.

Or especially in the case of 100% owned company, the owner pays themselves a "bonus" equal to the tax. The company now is worth less, reduced by the amount of that bonus, so the owner's wealth has decrease and the tax has been paid.

I think the "canceling" is too extreme, but the idea of limiting the number of people can follow / be followed by seems interesting, especially in the context of Dunbar's number [0] where a person could only really maintain ~150 connections.

Users would then need to decide who's more important to their feed, their best friend's sister or Justin Bieber. It may lead to interesting social dynamics in the same way that Twitters 140-character restriction created new discourse dynamics.

Especially with Microsoft's creation of Blazor (leveraging WASM) and the .NET Jupyter notebooks, it seems like they'd be positioned to make .NET/C# accessible in the mobile and web platforms too.

Some of the author's issues seem to be a result of not scaling the voting thresholds based on the sites size. For example, 5 votes needs to close a question: When the site had 100 users, 5 votes is 5% of the site - a meaningful proportion. When the site has 1,000,000 users, 5 votes is 0.0005% - which may have no information content at all, it could just be random noise and the votes to close wouldn't be meaningful representation of the communities viewpoint.

Is there a print copy of this book purchasable anywhere? Reading PDFs of this length is difficult for me.

I think the argument against taking money from him centers around influence.

Taking money from someone is perceived as them gaining influence over the opinions and actions of the person receiving it. When the person donating is a "bad person" then they are a bad influence and taint the receivers actions also.

It always puzzles me why sudden deaths in antiquity are always thought of as suspicious. During a time with very little medical knowledge, sudden illness followed by death was probably very common.

Just from the short description in the article, something as simple as his appendix bursting would have resulted in similar symptoms. Sudden pain followed by a systemic infection (fever).

Where are all the comments about racial diversity coming from? There's a single article mentioning that _using_ race is a contentious issue - not that this score uses race.

Further down in the article, it lists what the scores are based on:

> Those factors are college attendance, household structure, median family income, housing stability, education levels and crime.

Which all sound like tests of the living conditions and environment that the students had to learn within - and if those strongly correlate with race, then maybe there's other issues that need to be addressed

Context is noticeably awkward when a reader already knows how to read. Take the example in the article.

> But Rodney said: "My dog likes to lick his bone."

The context makes perfect sense and matches the picture. The issue is 'Rodney' didn't actually read half the words.

Watching the videos it looks like they only use a standard spade to break up the dirt and then slide the tree into place.

Is there no specialized tools that would allow that without bending over?

I wonder sometimes how this has effected our current politics also. With everyone born from post-WWII until the 1980 experiencing some level of lead poisoning.
