This doesn't seem like a safe setup.

How long before tweakers and others start lighting fires in their pods?

Honest Q:

What kind of therapy do you look for for things like this? As someone deeply inverted, prone to "creatively interpreting" things in a negative light, who dwells on imagined sleights, etc. I've thought maybe I need some professional help. But I'm kind of afraid of talking to people about my issues in general so I don't know what kind of therapist would work for me.

> I'm terrified of seeking help for mental illness because certain diagnosis can have legal impacts. It is a sad truth, no one has a real response for it except "get over it", and it is very, very difficult to get support for political reforms to protect the mentally ill.

What are some of the impacts?

I remember the show "Homeland" the main character had a sister who was a doc who would prescribe her meds for bipolar, that way she could continue working for the government/Pentagon as a spy.

Do you think GraphQL has contributed to more microservice driven development?

> The idea of adding hours to such a trip, or turning it into an overnight trip, makes it a non-starter for me. > If people are using EVs on freeways, wouldn't they be more inclined to exit the freeway into a city and charge at a motel or a shopping centre while they stop overnight or at least a few hours?

Yes you're right on the money.

I bought an EV to drive around my home area in CA. Instead I've just used it for road-tripping back East to see family.

Each road-trip has convinced me how bad these cars are for long-range driving. Aside from "range anxiety" (going only from one supercharger location to another, and not venturing away) - the charging times are brutal for cross-country trips.

You will spend hours per day, hours, sitting in back of Holiday Inn Expresses in the middle of nowhere Kansas, or in back of a shady truck stop in the middle of Texas.

Safety as well: I've thought about if I were a female for example at some of these locations it wouldn't be safe to be alone, with nobody around, sitting in your car. You're unable to start it and drive away if it's plugged in, not without getting out to unplug it which you have to do manually (there's no emergency eject charger cable button). So if there is a Texas Chainsaw Killer outside your window you're screwed.

Having said all that. It is a perfect car for just driving around my neighborhood IF that's what I intended to. In practice, I never do it.

This exists in many Java based languages, an annotation above a method: @VisibleForTesting or some such.

I feel like you read more into this and maybe added in your own biases.

I don't think these archaeologists are interested in worshipping society's elites. Maybe hundreds of years ago when you had to be an elite to be an archaeologist.

I use Brave.

All the same Chrome extensions and other functionality work.

But I'd wager someone on here could find a problem with them too :(

> What is "reasonable," what is "fair." These words signify a death spiral in wage discussions.

Another commenter commented on a burger-joint giving a share to "climate" causes. What a share entails in this case, whether it comes from profit, or whether they pass the cost of this cause to the customer is unknown.

Additionally I live in a place where there are reparations discussions and where unions agreed that teachers of a certain ethnicity would be eliminated first in the name of equity if it came down to staff cuts.

How does this play into the scenario if these types of events happen more often, even discussing these things is difficult and people could veer away from. I heard that Amazon inserted "woke" discussions into union talks in Georgia in an effort to de-rail them, not to engender unity.

I have no idea why you're downvoted, this is the truth

> If the middle-class people move out, this is "white flight" and is evil. Later on, if other middle-class people move in, this is "gentrification" and is also evil.

Yes this is in every city and state.

I subscribe to the YouTube channel and this is exactly how I feel. I can't understand how upset people are getting at this guy lol.

I have an Oculus/Meta Quest, I don't use it much though but I used the app mentioned "Supernatural", which right off the bat sounds better than the app the journalist used (protecting a crystal).

Supernatural at least has a few different types of workouts, locations, instructors, etc.

But even that aside, having a Quest headset means so many other fitness games like Thrill of the Fight.

This just doesn't seem like the right application of VR. Having to go in physically is almost a spit-take for a VR gym. I wish them the best though.

Neat! Can you make the examples open in the editor?

> when the simplest answer is that he's mentally ill and can't stop himself from engaging in compulsive behaviors

This is the new favorite reason to let people off the hook. Classifying themselves as ill to distance their own behavior. "It was Jekyll not Hyde".

So much he said she said is the UK better than us with healthcare or not?!

"[I] am from the rationalist community"

The most rational thing we can all do is lower our standards.

I agree with you.

I've been in web dev for the past 10 years and none of the companies I've worked at in San Fran use this tech.

I'm familiar with the space: Gatsby, GraphQL, etc. I took a Jamstack course on frontendmasters, but I chose to skip using it for personal projects.

Any major issues?

I'm considering RN right now. Wondering whether to start from scratch or not. People refer to issues "ejecting" from Expo but those issues are vague and go back years.

Any concerns or experiences on your end that make it a good or bad option?

Yes, journalists used to speak truth to power.

Now they work on behalf of the power.

And they don't just work on behalf of power, they are power themselves, and it isn't the people's power despite their claim to being "the voice of the people".

Yes this. Additionally (1) has no "higher caste" mentality. Whereas (2) often believe themselves to be the anointed truth-sayers of a secular world. Generally speaking they don't live up to that promise.

Yes additionally journalists are a sort of priestly caste in our secular society.

I'm personally not a fan as there's a lot of self-anointed representation by journos: "We're the voice of the people!" No you are not my voice! You are not elected! You are the voice of advertisers, your business and your political interests!

Amazon has gotten too big.

Last year I canceled my Prime and am doing my best to use alternatives. But it's become hard, I still sometimes use Amazon and pay for shipping or use the free long-ass shipping if it exists.

Wow when I saw the title I thought "is this related to the case from earlier" and it appears to be one and the same.

I can't believe anyone would buy an Amazon product after this, it's crazy! Can your other IOT things be shut off? Can your AWS account be disabled?

Nothing like the subtle bigotry of lower expectations - the best way to keep "those people" in the underclass is to lower the standards.

I'm hoping the reversal of affirmative action will light a fire under this issue.

In the books Children of Time and the sequels (Children of Ruin and Children of Memory), when Dr Kern's human body is destroyed she ends up being existing as an artificial intelligence in multiple systems, one being traditional software and another as an ant swarm that can process information and carry data (her emulated self in this case).

The ants in the book are slightly "uplifted" as a species but are still just ants, a species subordinated to the uplifted spider-arachnid species.

I was using ChatGPT this week for help with a back injury I suddenly sustained. Because I don't have insurance I was looking for options as to what I should do and what it'd cost and where to go etc.

I did get a suggestion that I followed up on for an in person visit.

But my big beef with it was that it kept adding disclaimers: "I am not a doctor", "My current knowledge is up to September 2021, insurance and hospital info may be out of date", "<blah> <blah> but remember, I am not a doctor and it is important to consult a medical professional".

I understand the disclaimers from a legal standpoint but boy is it tiresome when I'm asking back and forth questions and each answer contains some element of it.

> It's paywalled then on but I assume it's also enough rock to bury Dubai to the height of Burj Khalifa.

Haha lol. These comparisons are always strange when I read them or see them in documentaries. "That's enough X to stretch all the way to the moon and back!"

In other words it's a lot. "No you don't understand! It's not just a lot! It's enough that if unraveled it could stretch around the Earth 10 times!!!"

"Wipe out someone else's commits by force pushing to the main branch."

Is this possible in Github? I figured owner the repo's owner has this right and it may be disabled by default.

is this still a problem?

I had a Roomba 10 years ago and that was the usual problem I had with it. That and having to pick up a rug so it wouldn't get caught.

If they also tie your account to Instagram/FB, then do I get banned across services if my account is somehow "flagged"?

Whether that's for unknown logins, spam accusations (just an accusation is enough for a tech company to throw the ban hammer), etc.
