As others have said, replacing battery is fairly straightforward for 6s, I did it a couple times on mine until replacing a few months back. Look for the higher capacity batteries, I had luck with Amazon. Will take you probably 30 mins to switch out.

Alternatively - I just upgraded to an iPhone SE which seems like essentially the same phone as 6s but a little faster/smoother. Fits my minimalist needs which sound similar to yours. Dealing with the Android crapware sounds a lot less fun to me.

I see the terms as a donation or grant. The money still is a loan (vs a grant), but the terms are well below "market" in order to support the non-profit's cause.

Every morning I wake up with attention on my dreaming process. I write down my dreams that I remember in my phone and later transfer them to my dream journal app on my laptop. I review my dreams periodically, typically once a week at night before bed, considering their symbols and dynamics as relates to my life.

I also meditate for 10-20 minutes every few days, which I want to turn into a daily practice

Maybe that's their point, but it's not convincing if it's using made-up information, which is my point.

The inflation argument is not very convincing to me either. Both of those measures (inflation, budget) are objective facts that are absent from the article. Also "police budgets not quite keeping up with inflation is causing chaos in my neighborhood" is not very convincing.

Ah, thank you for clarifying, I understand now.

I still think this amounts to the argument "next year's budget cuts are increasing crime in my neighborhood now" which doesn't make sense to me.

Also again, I don't see how inflation should apply to police budgets but not other budgets.

Reposting my reply to this comment that you reposted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29504134)

If I read this article correctly then the author's point is that simply the passage of a bill to be enacted in the future is the cause of increased crime in the present, which seems like a shaky argument to me.

Also I'm noticing that the ABC7News article says

>More than $17 million will be diverted from the police to violence prevention and other services not involving police. Another $3.6 million will be put into the new MACRO program which will basically be a civilian crisis response program within the Oakland Fire Department addressing those in mental health crises.

This means that even assuming this is a net decrease of $20.6 million to budget, this is still giving back only ~half the net increase from this year's budget. So we should still be up $16 million or so vs. 2020

Sorry, I don't see why inflation and pensions should be removed from police budgets and not from other budgets. I'm very uninformed about city budgeting but this feels a little "lies, damn lies, and statistics"-y to me. The change in proportional allocation is more convincing, but I'm too ignorant to understand the implications and nuances.

That may or may not be true and is worth exploring more. Although as another poster points out, this is a vastly different argument than saying as the article does:

>As the surge in violence has become less theoretical to white, middle class residents, Oakland’s mayor has been afforded the political space to push to restore the funds that were cut from the police budget.

Which seems to be to be a misunderstanding of consensus reality

Thank you for sharing this.

I read most of the article, in which the author implies that defunding the police increases crime, and blames the people in charge of Oakland with this crime.

Yet I recalled hearing that police budgets in Oakland were steady to up this year, despite the protests.

A quick search seems to confirm this: https://www.ktvu.com/news/oakland-didnt-cut-any-money-from-t...

>Despite claims to the contrary, the Oakland City Council did not make any cuts to the police budget at all this year. In fact, Oakland police were allotted about $39 million more than in the previous two years, according to a KTVU analysis of city records.

What did I miss?

But the Krebs article was based off statements by an anonymous whistleblower “Adam” - Nick Sharp himself, to further extort the company. Hard to know what is actually true in that article at this point

Maybe for: Peer accountability, Community, Empathy, Structure, distraction, Spiritual engagement

The Twitter post you linked says it has been “debunked” but gives no citation etc. Where is this debunking? I have had these experiences, and in the article the author does their own self experiment and sees the hypothesized result

Sounded like the author did do that, the part about the new clothes for university and getting ads served up for those topics?

Who are these people who the Fed is sending money to?

I’m pretty sure Snowflake is hybrid like you’re describing. It certainly performs like it. Check out their original white paper for the architecture details

Title should be “Tether reveals it is capitalized like any bank”

Check out this post by Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz fame on the topic, where he advocates for hiring consultancies https://sparktoro.com/blog/why-you-should-hire-agencies-cons...

To be fair, I think your point about "except for very boutique consultancies" may apply to his recommendation. I can't imagine him advocating for an Accenture or similar, instead the message is bring on expertise for specific initiatives as needed.

If I were worried about a raging Twitter mob I wouldn't announce company policy to my staff by posting a missive on Twitter.

You’re correct and parent is correct. War on Drugs started as a combined anti-black anti-counterculture initiative in response to Vietnam War. Psychedelics were threatening the power structure. It was never really about drugs.

Just finished reading Soros' The New Paradigm for Financial Markets, and also listened to a Vox podcast episode on him https://podcasts.apple.com/al/podcast/who-is-the-real-george...

He seems like a pretty reasonable and interesting guy. The Vox episode sounded like a balanced take on his legacy: mixed but generally positive impact. The biggest argument against him that resonates with me is the same that applies to all the mega-wealthy: a handful of rich individuals should not have ultimate power to craft policy decisions, rather the world would benefit from a more balanced democratic process.

We can disagree and still be nice to each other.

I'm very curious- I went looking and didn't see what you're hinting at.

What am I looking for exactly?

Thanks! I’ll check it out

I guess theoretically and in some ways in practice. But I’m thinking more along the lines of “search through the web only returning results bookmarked with 2 degrees of trust” or something like that. Where each of the nodes are not documents but are identities- which may often tie 1:1 to a human

I’m interested in this approach, it is broadly what I’ve been wondering about since 2016.

Is anyone working on systems like this right now? Any projects come to mind?

I find this young person’s perspective so refreshing. They reflect on the different facets of the experience they’re going through. They have self awareness, and cultural awareness. They’re in a hard spot and have some desire to change- and while they beat themselves up a little bit about it they also understand that this self-judgement may not be healthy either!

To the author, please keep it up. You remind me a little of me at 25 yet much more articulate and aware. Keep asking the questions, keep paying attention to your feelings, keep on trudging the path. And therapy could really help! Good luck.

Probably just the emergence of dbt? I’ve only been doing ETL for a couple years personally but couldn’t imagine using so much SQL in our pipelines without a framework like dbt

Not sure why this comment is downvoted, seems pretty accurate https://www.salon.com/2020/05/07/top-trump-donor-who-gave-mo...
