post-it··on UAE to leave OPEC
Of course you can. And for the rest, you just discontinue the product they want so they have no choice.
post-it··on UAE to leave OPEC
A Hyundai Elantra of today is significantly bigger than it was ten years ago. It also used to be the second-tier model above the Accent, which was discontinued.

Ditto with the Sentra and the Versa.

This is my point exactly.

post-it··on UAE to leave OPEC
Retaining wealth is the easy part, retaining political power is hard. They don't want to be regular jetsetting billionaires, they want to rule their own domain. And in order to do that, they need to figure out how to make people want to keep living there.

This is, respectfully, corporate propaganda. Consumers buy the vehicles that are available and advertised. It's in the best interest of manufacturers to convince/compel consumers to buy larger, more expensive vehicles with higher margins, and that's exactly what they're doing.
post-it··on Networking changes coming in macOS 27
I wouldn't pay for it, so that's one data point.
post-it··on Men who stare at walls
The worse it feels, the more it's helping. It means you're surfacing and dismissing thoughts that would otherwise plague you when you're trying to get things done.

Because people will fill their iClouds. An important value proposition of iCloud is that customers pay for more space than they need. Time Machine grows to fill all available space.
post-it··on Networking changes coming in macOS 27
Why is it that Apple products attract blogspam titles?

> Networking changes coming in macOS 27

And yet:

> This year, with just over six weeks to go before that first beta of macOS 27, we already have two warnings of what might be coming.

> It repeated those warnings with macOS Sequoia 15.5, but still hasn’t confirmed when AFP will be lost.

> Although Apple carefully avoids being too specific, it warns that this change could come “as early as the next major software release”,

post-it··on I spent 6 years building my Kanban as I hated how managers run the boards
Is this an ad? I've never heard of this and the website tries really hard to be an Apple product launch instead of showing what the tool looks like with 200 tasks on the board.

Emergency Room staff are perfectly capable of putting 200+ items on a physical board. Not writing tasks down because it's too time consuming doesn't result in a more manageable workload of tasks, it results in people trying to remember and forgetting.

Tbf Jira is great, you just need a project manager with good opinions that sets it up and maintains it well. It turns out project management is a real skill and not a hat you put on the owner's less favourite sons.
post-it··on New 10 GbE USB adapters are cooler, smaller, cheaper
I will say, casual users don't really care. Pretty much any combination of a wall plug and a cable will charge a phone at acceptable speeds, and that's all 99% of people need.
post-it··on Norway set to become latest country to ban social media for under 16s
Prohibition will work exceptionally well for social media, which relies on a herd effect. If you can't send most of your friends memes on Instagram, you're a lot less likely to spend time on it.

It doesn't need to be 100% effective in order to work.
post-it··on The operating cost of adult and gambling startups
> When posting job openings, you will always have to beat around the bush, without using direct language. And only then, when the candidate has already agreed to an interview or even after it, do you tell them what kind of content they will be working with every day.

> Employees join such projects for various reasons. Some realize that the pay is better than in legitimate projects. Others come because they couldn’t find a job where they wanted to, or because they are simply interested in working on something forbidden. And then a good company saving the world will come along and offer them a job, and they’ll leave. Building a stable team from people with this kind of motivation is hard.

I think OP made this whole article up. Everyone that applies for Aylo knows exactly what they're applying for. The pay is below-average because (a) there's not actually a lot of money in porn and (b) there's no shortage of dudes that want to work in it.

post-it··on DeepSeek v4
I've downloaded Zed but haven't used it much, maybe this is my sign. Thanks!

What do you run these on? I've gotten comfortable with Claude but if folks are getting Opus performance for cheaper I'll switch.

Why is it so wrong?
post-it··on Microsoft offers buyouts up to 7% of US employees
The idea is that a 60 year old will have a harder time finding a new job than a 30 year old.
post-it··on Microsoft offers buyouts up to 7% of US employees
Because "number of expected working years left" is a factor in evaluating common law severance.
post-it··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
Sorry, you're right, I missed the tabs on top. No iOS support though.
post-it··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
I hope you're not using KeePassX, it's been unmaintained for years. KeePassXC is only available for Linux, which means I'd need to use a third-party app for Mac and iOS, so I'd be trusting three vendors instead of one.

Aside from passwords, I store passkeys, secure notes, and MFA tokens.

post-it··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
I've dramatically decreased my reliance on third-party packages and tools in my workflow. I switched from Bitwarden to Apple Passwords a few months ago, despite its worse feature set (though the impetus was Bitwarden crashing on login on my new iPad).

I've also been preferring to roll things on my own in my side projects rather than pulling a package. I'll still use big, standalone libraries, but no more third-party shims over an API, I'll just vibe code the shim myself. If I'm going to be using vibe code either way, better it be mine than someone else's.

post-it··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
Do you think we live in fucking igloos bud?
post-it··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
Yes, free, and created in Canada by developers not burdened by American red tape.

The rich don't have money, they have assets, and those assets can't go anywhere. It doesn't matter if the rich buy or sell a farm in Canada, the farm is still in Canada.
post-it··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
You're right, the solution is getting rid of swathes of intellectual property legislation, not adding more.
post-it··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
Now is especially a good time for Canada to do it. Cory Doctorow had a fantastic CBC interview about this. Scrapping anti-tampering protections would harm anti-Canadian tech companies while also building rapport with American farmers who would be able to use Canadian software on their tractors.
post-it··on Another Day Has Come
Could you clarify your intended meaning in placing these quotes side by side?
