But Google (and D&B, who you need to also sign up for if you are a business) ban most PO boxes and other virtual mailbox/office services. I had to try a few times, but eventually I found one that they accepted.

Also the Microsoft Store does the same thing with addresses. idk about Apple, I don't publish there. Probably there is some law forcing everyone to do this.

- Google is banned from paying Firefox to be the default search engine -> Firefox has way less money -> Firefox development massively slows

- Someone buys Chrome and needs to turn a profit from Chrome, rather than using it to indirectly profit from the web in general like Google does -> Chrome probably goes to shit and development massively slows

So what now? Safari is going to be the leading force moving the web forward? The Chromium forks that are doing basically no browser engine work are going to suddenly find billions of dollars to invest in hiring developers? Someone will buy a time machine and go 10 years into the future to get a version of Ladybird that is comparable to what we have today in Chrome/Firefox? Just because you guys hate Google doesn't make any of those scenarios remotely plausible. And if you hate Google, there are much better ways to punish it than this.

Is much of that driven by the price of new Model Ys declining? I bought one last year and (after accounting for rebates/incentives) it was less than half the price of a few years ago. That may suck for people who bought at the high price and want to resell, because of course they won't be able to sell a used Model Y for more than a new one, so that puts a hard upper limit on the value of used ones. But it's kind of awesome for the rest of us.

I think the main problem is that something like "science proves generational trauma is real" is a nice headline, so people p-hack it into existence. "Science proves that generational trauma is not real" is just a null hypothesis being confirmed - not a publishable result and nobody cares, so you'll never hear about it. So be very skeptical of nice headlines, especially in university press releases!

Edit: I am an idiot, there is a mention. Or possibly the article was edited and I'm not an idiot, it does say there was an edit recently.

Obviously people shot fewer 3s back then, but as far as I remember, Bruce Bowen was really the first 3-and-D player back in the 90s.

Gone are the days of an all-around player. There is no longer a need for a player who does everything. Look at players like Kobe Bryant and Lebron James (early career); they not only scored but guarded defense, caught rebounds and played the role of playmakers.

Not sure how true that is. People sometimes call the modern style "heliocentric" - one star who makes the offense work, surrounded by a bunch of role players. These star players often do basically everything, albeit most are better at some things than others. But that's always been true, stars in the old days were not always perfectly balanced.

And stars these days have a ton of variability. Look at the best players in the league - Jokic, Shai, Giannis, Luka, Embiid (when healthy..) - those guys all play very different styles of basketball, and that's awesome!

But I do agree with the overall point of the article. I find it annoying when I'm watching a game and so many possessions there's just not much happening. A couple passes around the perimeter, someone jacks up a moderately contested 3, rinse and repeat. Not the most exciting basketball. That doesn't happen every play, and there's still plenty of exciting plays and players, but it happens a lot more than it used to.

Sure, maybe apparent exponential growth tails off into an S curve at some point, as often happens. But this blog post seems to assume that is guaranteed to happen, which is a big leap of faith, and also makes this not a very interesting blog post. Because it's basically just, "Well if I assume the best arguments against my position are wrong, then I don't even need to address them, and I can instead focus on lesser arguments that are easier for me to discuss".

This is true many places. But I think the "property tax explains everything" talking point is going to persist a long time, because it's very convenient.

Safari will delete your cached data if your app goes unused for a little while though. Native apps may do the same thing though... at least on Android I get notifications about it deleting cached data for native apps I haven't used recently.

I've also used this site https://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/month-by-month/ which gives you a decent idea of what to expect from your baby each month.

Also for me, the first 4 months were pretty rough. Lack of sleep for everyone, and wife still recovering from birth both mentally and physically. But after 4 months it got a lot better, and has actually been a lot of fun. Hopefully things will get better for you and your family too!

More generally this is one of the really annoying things about Node.js. You might have some circular dependency that works everywhere, but it fails when you use some specific bundler or test runner. Cause they all handle things slightly differently.

I remember when my mom got it, I did a bunch of research and figured out that she probably only had about 3 more years of okayish memory and a decent quality of life, and then maybe 5 more years after that until death. That stuff depends on age and gender, and my mom was young so I think those numbers are even shorter for someone who is old and male like Shannon. There is of course plenty of variability and some people live decades with it.

So yeah, doesn't sound like "very quick" progression. But if your baseline is a healthy adult aging normally, it would still seem very quick compared to that, I guess.

Back when I had a corporate job, I think at least 50% of my value to the company was that I knew how to get around Zscaler when necessary. Nothing particularly clever, just secretly using a proxy on some random server in our data center that happened to have unfiltered access to the Internet - which seemed like more of a potential security issue than anything Zscaler solved, but oh well.
