Maybe they are immunocompromised or spend time with people that are? I had a friend that would never get together even after vaccines were plentiful and infection rates were low because he spends time around people that are.

For me at least the battery seems to degrade significantly after 2+ years. I have a OnePlus 7t that is 3 years old and I use it heavily almost every day. I should consider wiping it to see if that improves battery life.

Per https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/renters-vs-homeowne... ~2/3rds of households own vs. ~1/3rd rent. Not intuitive to me tbh either.

I love my VW GTI. I just drive it like my motorcycle: assume either no one sees me or is actively trying to kill me. So far, so good.

Permanently aroused to look for any injustice.

100% agree. I also think there is both an attempt to ignore NIH (not invented here) solutions (look at what other countries do well WRT health case vs. the US) as well as to assume NIH solutions will be a simple copy/paste (see decriminalization which mostly worked in Portugal though it is now showing strain as they lower the funds for rehab, etc. vs. Oregon).

As you say "Shit is complicated".

Shame as one of many aspects of cultural norms was my core point.

What are Japanese ashamed of vs US Midwesterners vs. US Californians, vs. their religiosity, individualism, collectivism, etc.

(edit: typo)

Yeah imo we are talking less about shame in particular about cultural norms.

A country like Japan is largely homogenous for good or for ill and their rate of immigration is low so newcomers assimilate.

The US is much more heterogenous, especially in large metros. There is subsequently less overlap in cultural norms. That comes with both benefits and downsides such as topics like drugs and gay marriage and many more.

I read something too about stable cultures have the rate of newcomers that is low enough that they can learn the cultural norms from the legacy folks vs. becoming more of a free for all because almost everyone is new so the blind are leading the blind. I think it was in reference to events like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Nat gateways really only hurt if you have fairly high traffic iirc. AWS always dings you on egress traffic in general.

In that case this may be preferable: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_NAT_Ins...

Is it though?

Of course, asserting that reading can fix the world's problems would be naive at best. But it could help make it a more empathetic place. And a growing body of research has found that people who read fiction tend to better understand and share in the feelings of others — even those who are different from themselves.

Maybe I am weird but I feel reading puts me more "in the story" then for example movies (some story-driven video games do so as well) so I imagine what it would be like to be them, experience their trials and tribulations, etc.

Not to cherry pick but here are a handful of "red state cities" to compare too. Most have worse violent crime and much better property crime which aligns with my experience where leaving a stick of gum in your car was an invitation to get your car window broken.

FTA: Logitech surprisingly discontinuing its popular line of Harmony remotes left many owners of home entertainment systems seeking alternatives. While there are some new competitors, their ergonomics and battery life still leave room for improvement. To me, a DIY version of a universal remote seemed like a nice project that combines ergonomic design with low power and graphical interfaces.

> but simply censoring and banning one political side is not a viable approach

Citation needed.

There are tons of claims but from what I can see not a lot of proof. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/02/01/censorship-co...

Or hold down the option key while right clicking things or in certain dialog boxes. I guess that's not horrible if you internalize that fact but it's not discoverable.

I'd assume unless it was REALLY bad you'd get food but no money (due to no extra crops for sale) but a fair point. Some professions like sales are very much feast or famine but agree most employees are insulated to a degree from company performance.

I mean how would one rtfa to be able to discuss it cogently on a news aggregator site like this? Do you subscribe to a dozen news sources behind paywalls? I had a natgeo sub for years growing up.

I really wish micro payments were a thing where I could pay $20 a month and not hit upteen paywalls and they would all get a piece of that monthly cost.

The texture of his paintings is impossible to reproduce in a print. He really slathered it on!

I'd argue they trade receiving the full fruit of their labor for increased safety/stability. I know I do at least. The owner of a business still needs to make payroll even when the business is doing well with legal consequences iiuc if they don't. If you are a sole proprietor your billable rate goes up but now you are marketing, IT, accounts receivable, janitor, etc. etc.

Additionally different company's have different ways of incentivizing employee "ownership". Everything from RSUs, Employee stock purchase plans, a Christmas bonus for a good year, etc.

I disagree. Compare Walmart and Costco on a lot of their processes and practices around vendors and employees and I think you can find some stark differences.

Fta it shows that a replacement driver is marked 555/595...

It's a metaphor and doesn't need to be perfect. My point was merely "don't like it, then leave" is useless advice IMO. I didn't say reddit is critical exactly (though maybe it is for many who frequent https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/), only that it has value to many. Strikes and demonstrations and such are ALWAYS inconvenient by design. That doesn't mean they are pointless. BART strikes and BLM protests impacted me a lot more than reddit blackouts but I still supported them.

Ultimately we are ALL sharecropping where the majority of the web is "owned/gatekeeped" by a handful of big companies like google, meta, microsoft, amazon, twitter (?), visa, mastercard, paypal, yelp, cloudflare, comcast, cox, etc. You may agree or disagree with my list but hopefully you get my point.

It remains to be seen if it worked or not depending on what the fallout is. Will users, moderators and most importantly advertisers leave? Will reddit IPO? Will they be able to hire? Will spez survive this as CEO?

That's the same defeatest advice people always give when you don't like the direction of your country/state/municipality/etc. you should leave/move/etc. I say absolutely not and if you have invested time and energy into something (I've had my reddit account a bit longer than my HN one) then you can and should fight for it. I don't have a vision disability and so am not very impacted by the killing of 3rd party acts but this is an act of solidarity to support those who are (However minor most of our sacrifice is). The least I can do is not complain that my daily quota of cat pictures is unfairly impacted.

You can sign up for the Guard and absolutely get sent to an active warzone as that happened to my brother. And they will not advertise that fact a whole lot.

It's actually to their benefit to allow fully remote because if you force me to live in the bay area you need to pay me 30%+ more to pay the bank for my mortgage or my landlord.

This is what springs to mind for me:

* https://www.cpushack.com/space-craft-cpu.html space shuttle used a 386 * https://www.cpu-galaxy.at/article/cpu_in_space.htm ISS still does too * https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/11/space-grade-cpus-how...

That's a bit different and (like ec2 and other services) governed by IAM:Passrole. Whoever creates the lambda or ec2 needs to be allowed to assign that role. Otherwise it would allow privilege escalation.

And one is a smokescreen for the other. "Stop treading on me" really just allows special interests to take advantage of people.

Similar to how all these calls for lowering taxes on the top 1% is supposedly to support small businesses when most of those don't benefit and neither does it "trickle down".

Example: https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/fact-shee...

Because what is good for the user and what is good for company revenue don't always align (at least in the short term).

If you treat your customers like thieves then they'll act like thieves. All of the above is a big waste of time for 99.9% of customers. At the minimum just let it go the first time as long as a customer has a reasonably long subscription. You know their margins on these things are nuts. I know to me and many other IT type folks HP is the last choice.
