> Probably the people who operate archive.is just purchased subscriptions for the most common newspaper sites. And then they can use something like https://pptr.dev/ to automate login and article retrieval.

I would expect to see login information rather than "Sign In" and "Subscribe" buttons on archived articles then. Unless they're stripping that from the archive?

I actually prefer the video for that kind of stuff. My gripe is when a 2 minute video is milked out to 15 minutes of background story, affiliate link plugs, and other useless noise.

> Epic is one of the good ones

Maybe if your only comparison is Activision and EA. When you consider all the dark patterns Fortnite employs to encourage logging playtime and making purchases, they're only separated from those others by degrees. Stacked up against developers that largely avoid those patterns (FromSoft, Nintendo, CDPR, etc), Epic is most certainly closer to the "bad" side of the spectrum.

GMail was pretty impressive in 2004 too. It probably sounds banal now, but not having to constantly delete emails was game changing at the time. I still have access to email going back to 2004 and I find myself looking up things I received over a decade ago.

> How do multiple sites access the same localStorage?

With an iframe. Although Safari already has protections in place against this scenario: https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#partitioned-third-pa...

How do RSUs mostly screw holders compared to options? I don't have a lot of experience with options, but they generally seemed riskier.

> The people who get screwed are the multiple-home-owning rent seekers and I'm ok with that.

And people who suddenly find themselves underwater on their mortgage. Assuming they face no economic shocks they might be able to ride it out, but that sounds like a very stressful situation to be in.

> it would explain why the quality of US vehicles keeps deteriorating since around 2007 or so

I hear this meme a lot but is it actually true? By most benchmarks cars from the last 10 years are more reliable than those from two decades ago.

While Chrome uses the same rendering and JS engines as Safari under the hood, it doesn't share all features (like the extensions API). I think only DNS-based ad blockers work for both and content API-based ad blockers like Magic Lasso don't.

> they can't because they are all stuck using React

You can get most—if not all—of that behavior in React with JSS and TypeScript. All of your component code (HTML, CSS, and JS) can be colocated in one file, you can jump to the CSS class definition, TS ensures the class name is legit, etc.

Svelte and Vue provide a more batteries-included experience, but React is very flexible.

It depends what org you're in. Cloud seems to use a lot of Angular, but the rest of the company is coalescing around an in-house framework called Wiz (you can poke around the open sourced jsaction library to get an idea of the design philosophy).

The risk of myocarditis is substantially higher in COVID infections than COVID vaccinations.

Yes, it's unfortunate that the vaccine has side effects. But if you're seriously concerned about the risk of heart problems the vaccine is the safer bet.

As someone who spent way too much time there in the mid 00's, 4chan is incredibly toxic and the existence of strong intra-group cohesion doesn't make it "wholesome". Otherwise we can say a KKK chapter is wholesome because they also do potlucks.

You forgot to subtract commercial and industrial from that 26% which leaves you with about 11% as residential [0]. 11% might still not classify as minute, but it does seem silly to have these campaigns telling people to optimize their small 11% portion of the water pie.

My Toyota experience was okay, but I still needed to sit at a dealership for almost two hours to deal with the paperwork, wait for financing, etc. Tesla allowed me to take care of all of that from the comfort of home.

Buying a Ford was the worst experience I've had with a new car, but that could have been entirely on the dealership.

> I’d much rather that people adopt Joe Rogan’s humble attitude of “I don’t know” than cop an overconfident attitude because they think they know everything.

The problem is that Joe has some really strong opinions and uses the "I don't know" schtick as a cudgel to avoid confronting contrary evidence. Look at how he responds when pushed on aliens, COVID, etc.

Thankfully he's not like that in the majority of interviews, but anything dovetailing a conspiracy is painful is listen to.

You technically can sometimes, but in my experience it's really difficult to actually do that. Dealerships get limited custom order bank allocations, and if you're not really early when the MY order bank opens your order will potentially slip a model year or even more (at least for in-demand models).

For Hyundai specifically I was looking for the Limited trim, and I've been told they're only allocating custom orders to dealerships with level 3 chargers. And even then the order bank for MY 2022 had already been closed when I started shopping around. I would have had to wait for the MY 2023 bank to open.

Yeah, the ETA wasn't incredibly important to me for planning purposes. It was just nice to know that I was getting <exactly this car> in <roughly this timeframe>. As opposed to "keep calling and maybe we'll have a Hyundai Ioniq allocated to us that'll arrive a month or two after, oh an enjoy your $10k 'market rate adjustment' to the MSRP."

Fwiw my car was delivered in the middle half of the original ETA, but I know that others have had lots of issues with their ETAs.

Ordered late March, delivered first week of June. It ended up being about in the middle of the ETA range I was originally given.

I bought an EV earlier this year. I ended up with a LR Model 3 because the dealership model really sucks still. I called Hyundai and VW dealerships in the tri-state area around me, and none of them could say when I'd be able to actually get a car. Instead I went to Tesla's website, placed an order, and got an ETA. Super simple; loved that experience.

If it weren't for the crappy dealership model I probably would have bought the Hyundai Ioniq instead.

Looks to be a common typo when spamming the words. E.g., "Shit shit shitshit shit shit". I wouldn't be surprised if that's the source of many of those.

> people are moving, in drones, to Telegram

As an aside, the idiom is "in droves".

There are a patchwork of state laws (reciprocity agreements, the "convenience rule", etc) and other caveats that don't make this universally true, but generally you pay taxes to (1) the state you you work in and (2) the state you live in. Note that #1 means the location where the work is being performed--not where the employer is located.

So if you commute interstate for your job, you'll sometimes find yourself filing income tax forms for multiple states.

I think California uses an "allocation ratio" to determine how much he will owe when he exercises those options [1], so he's not getting away tax-free.

There are some really great public schools if you can afford to live near them, but that's certainly not true on net. Otherwise California wouldn't consistently rank among the bottom half of US states for public schooling.

There's a market for stolen art; surely you could find a buyer for the coin. You'd get nothing near the face value though.

When considering the outsized influence of money in shaping policy and that landlords are more likely to have money to spend shaping policy, I'm not sure that's exactly apt.

Also I feel like renters are much less likely to get involved in local politics, but that's just anecdotal.

> The rhetoric of "remove weapons of war from America's streets" does not jive with the "small arms are not good enough weapons of war" argument.

I never mentioned removing or outlawing firearms. But by all means, continue to strawman.

> Okay, but Americans have more than that, they have everything you mentioned. They have the largest economy in the world from which to draw the wealth needed for those things. They have militias, they have state governments with treasuries, a significant portion of the population is trained by way of service in the military.

The functioning society of America has that, but a ragtag insurgency within the country does not. Do you think those state treasuries are physical things you can raid? Do you think corporate America isn't going to help keep the status quo? Do you think all of the anti-crime monitoring (especially in the realm of finance) won't notice any of this before it gets too big? Government gets a whiff of this and it's all too easy to paint the group as a bunch of right-wing nutjobs and sick the ATF on them.

The initiating event would have to be so catastrophic that a large percentage of the population "defects" in a very short timespan. And at that point things are so cataclysmic that the Second Amendment isn't even a factor any more.

> I think you're underestimating the importance of small arms in waging an insurgency.

And I think you're underestimating everything else. The successful insurgencies in history generally did not start out with a well armed population. Small arms are easy to smuggle in once everything else is going--especially when you have a foreign benefactor.

> Which is exactly why we resist laws that ban rifles.

s/Glock/AR-15/, point still stands regardless of what common legal firearm you want to replace Glock with.

> I don't think you fully grasp the extent to which the US population is armed.

You have entirely missed the point. The existence of small arms is not what lead the Taliban to success against the US. They had billions of dollars from the opium trade, donations, and foreign aid. This money was not just spent to purchase weapons; it was used to fund training camps, fund recruiting operations, buy off politicians and local warlords, maintain supply lines, and the other infrastructure you need to wage war. These are the things the three letter agencies would take note of.

tl;dr: Small arms (in any quantity) are a small piece of what you would need to wage an effective insurgency against ol' Uncle Sam.
