Damn - as a dev who hates doing UI and animation this app looks amazing, something I would never have the patience to build.

Congrats on the project! Even if not launched!

He was making a joke.

> I read this as "person, 35-ish, stuck in a rut" which is a situation so common that automakers engineer cars like the Mazda Miata specifically for people in it.

This refers to people going through a "mid life crisis" who end up buying a Mazda Miata convertible to drive around town in an effort to look young, cool, stylish, etc.

Apparently staffers are trying to unionize.

Assuming they want to run it maintenance mode and have it not burn a hole in their pocket, they probably want people not pushing for raising wages, benefits, etc. in the future or now -- they'll likely sell off what remains to private equity or maybe try to get AI to run the show.

Brave is what I'm using, but I must have gotten put into the A/B group since I now see the blocker.

Changing the shield setting to "aggressive" hasn't beaten the block.

But I've heard from others that they use Brave with "standard" settings and still don't see the block. That makes me think they aren't in the A/B group and NOT that Brave has found a way to adequately block it.

do you have to keep using the VPN after doing this?

Can i just use proton vpn to make the purchase at that price point?

Or do I need to create a separate google account, and then keep accessing YT while using a VPN with Ukraine location?

I've heard about this for months now but I only recently started seeing it.

I use Brave browser and followed their suggestion to turn on the "aggressive" setting, but it doesn't get around this.

I believe as they roll out this "feature" to more people you'll get hit by it.

Noob-ish here:

It looks like this playground requires a server connection instead of being purely front-end, which makes sense being Java.

But I'm familiar with SWC's playground (https://swc.rs/playground) and I believe it uses WASM and therefore doesn't require a back-end component.

Is it possible to do something similar with the Rust playground and Java playground?

As a centrist type thank you Gov Newsom for vetoing that crazy gender identity bill.

I remember as a kid being into feminine things and I couldn't imagine today the pressures on kids to start identifying as a different gender that would come from teachers and other "care givers" in our school system.

I'm also against the people who say that parents shouldn't be notified if a kid is talking to a counselor about identifying as a different gender. I suspect said counselor would push the child in the different direction in order to be a "hero" - it's such a shame that we're doing this to our children while other similar countries (in Europe where they aren't doing crazy stuff) are clearly looking on at us with pity.

Recently I've watched as Bill Maher has taken up the mantle of rejecting this idea as liberalism and I've been happy to see a prominent(-ish) face doing so without fear of "cancellation" or being called bigoted or risking getting fired.

I agree with Newsom, this is covered already.

> The veto dealt a blow to state Sen. Aisha Wahab (D-Hayward), a first-term lawmaker who shepherded one of the more controversial bills of the session through the Legislature.

It's like when a new VP joins the company you work for and suddenly there's a useless project of some kind. A new initiative or re-org that they are spearheading to justify their position/salary.

I think we've all seen it before :)

Yes! I know this guy's work.

I haven't visited this site in years though. I wonder if mobile games are the reason why. I stopped playing a lot of web/flash/html5 games a long time ago when gaming (for me) moved to the app store.

But I recognized the name and remember playing a lot of these games back in the day.

I always thought they were delightful. Building off a single game mechanic or two and then moving on to the next concept. The dev has a good system in place for shipping :)

Right!?

I came here to ask the same question and Cmd-F-ed to this comment.

I had to google it to see the photos of the building.

You've had to explain this so many times lol

it's not the intuitive way people expect the game to work, I thought it was a bug too when I found it

This is the death of anthropology.

> The session was rejected because it relied on assumptions that run contrary to the settled science in our discipline

I don't think it's settled science. You can cross different borders on our planet and have different anthropologic organizations that come to different conclusions dependent on what borders you're inside of.

> It’s not that it’s taboo or no one cares, it’s that we’re weary of the motivations of people bringing it up and how they frame this history.

The same thing is true in the United States and Canada of Native Americans.

Nobody brings it up of course but tribes extinguishing other tribes completely was a fact of life. It isn't unique to Europeans.

Yes, I may be in favor of loan forgiveness if it was for appropriate degrees that the nation actually needs.

This is what really gets me about loan forgiveness.

I'd be in favor if it was only for people who pursue certain degrees that we need. But going to party schools? Going for the cliche "underwater basket weaving" degree? The money being funneled into building a new pool and rock climbing wall for one of the dorms?

No, no, and no!

Is that just for the new tab?

I see ads when I open a new tab.

I live on the West coast, my Mom lives back East. I can't add another tenant in my apartment and even if I could, my Mom didn't want to upend "her life" to move to a place she has no history, roots, or connections.

She wanted to be near her sisters, of whom she wouldn't accept any help. She is proud and maybe too proud in that regard that she'd rather suffer in silence and not let anyone know. I helped pay her bills for a decade before she became homeless, at that time nobody else, my brothers for instance, offered her any assistance.

Additionally she wouldn't tell family about her situation and wouldn't allow me to. A few years ago I broke down on a phone call with her sister (my aunt) and explained everything. My mom didn't talk to me for a while as a result, saying her situation "wasn't anyone else's business!". But my aunt said she'd help, she said "I could give her $500, but that's all". I had been giving her $500+ per month for years by this point.

There are other complexities that were involved. But I understand your point.

My mom was homeless for years, thankfully she got stable housing right before covid took off.

- in shelters/churches-with-cots there would be crazed drug-users, she was threatened numerous times in them and the shelter can't do anything

- I wasn't financially able to help her much but managed to buy her a "clunker" of a car which she later slept in before getting housing

- she's entirely dependent on getting social security, for food, housing, etc. she fears any politician that even talks about going after it

- she's 70 and is currently looking for work :( currently looking for jobs as a substitute teacher, for which I'm scared to death for her given all the videos online of kids beating up teachers and getting away with it, but what else can be done?

- I bought her a new (used) car recently, a tiny SUV -- when we were on the lot looking at it she wanted to see how the seats go down so that she could try laying down in it to make sure she fits, in case it ever happens again
