Thanks for the explanation. You're right. I wasn't aware of the full system. The parts I did know seemed like a shady loophole for bigger polluters to take advantage of.

Thanks!

That's a good point. I didn't really think of that. It still feels a bit off, but that does help return some of the feel-goods back into buying solar :)

Slightly off topic... Interesting thing about solar in Utah (maybe everywhere? Not sure about the specifics): Utah gives every land owner pollution credits. They're allowed to pollute X units worth per year or something like that. Depending on certain criteria you're allotted a certain amount of credits. The problem is, these credits are transferable. So if I, for example, don't pollute, I can sell my credits off to someone who wants to pollute more than average.

Something (I think is shady) some companies are doing is selling solar for really cheap in dollars, but they subsidize the cost by selling it for credits. Average Joe is going to think he's polluting less, however since he sold off his pollution credits, his solar purchase has authorized someone else to pollute for him. Netting us nothing in the end.

(not an expert, so I may have misunderstandings and be oversimplifying things, but the point should be easy to understand)

Not sure of the name. Some mom-and-pop startup in Utah County. My wife saw a coupon or ad for them and decided to try it out.

We tried a local alternative to Blue Apron. They hand delivered to our doorstep. It was pretty well done and organized. Packaging didn't seem particularly wasteful to me. Might be worth checking around to see if anyone local is more friendly that way.

> - Torchlight 1 & 2 (I wish Runic games hadn't imploded...)

Runic is dead now? Oh sad. I loved the Torchlight series :( Torchlight 2 is the Diablo 3 the world wanted.

I think HumbleBundle could do it. They already have a store, they just have built it on Steam's platform and/or standalone apps. I don't think it'd be THAT difficult for them to pivot, would it?

Mine replied with a canned response basically saying, "thanks for caring! Our senator supports the FCC... blah blah"

It was mildly insulting. The thing was clear they didn't even read it and assumed I was clueless.

I found that with the default theme on MacOs that you want to make the tabbar transparent and non-clickable. Otherwise it munges the titlebar.

That's what I do, even though I have remote control switches. The nice thing for me is when you're leaving the house and you can just turn off all the lights. Or you're laying down in bed and you can shutdown the whole house (turn off lights, lock doors, etc).

Not in my experience. I think it's about managing expectations. You just have to be clear about what you mean with that individual. If that PM takes it to mean that then you need to find another way to communicate your message.

I think what I intend to say with that can be, "I don't know how long it takes and it'll take more planning to figure it out, but I'm willing to participate in this conversation so that we can continue to effectively plan in the current context."

If the current context is "concrete" then you probably don't want to give a number. If the conversation is (and this was my assumption before) "here's a feature we want done but we're trying to figure out it's priority and feasibility" then giving a gut check adds value. You just need to be clear in your messaging.

And if someone uses a gut check number against you "but you said X days!" Then you need to call them on it and make sure you explained the discrepancy.

I like to say, "my gut says X days. But I'll have to get back to you." I think there's a lot value in having the conversation with the PM or manager or whomever in the moment. And being non-committal is frustrating for the other parties.

The mental state of the mother while she's pregnant has a significant effect on the baby. For example if the mother has a lot of stress the baby will have symptoms of that stress years later.

Imo: that goes to show that mother and baby share feelings during the childbearing process. If negative feelings are pushed down to the baby. Then it would make sense that positive feelings are too.

Same. Came just last week for me.

I worked with a guy who left to take over the family farm.

I really feel like RSS+<something else> could've been the standards for open social networking if the major feed readers didn't loose steam and FB and Twitter supported it (which is probably why they don't)

I often wish for the Open-Social equivalent of email. Anyone can host it, I can subscribe to people on different hosts. And if I don't like the way my feed is aggregating I can choose another.

Here's what they should do... Make one game and let users choose their theme/skin. License different themes from companies (Harry Potter, Pokemon, etc). Then whatever mode a person is in when they buy stuff, that IP gets a cut.

And then: make that game fun.

Here's a related thought: what if the law stated something along the lines of, if DRM/hardware locks/etc prevent you or a 3rd party of your choosing from repairing, then the party who owns the lock should be responsible for the repairs (including costs)

Then a company can decide if they're in the business of licencing or selling, and make their decisions accordingly. it could also help establish a line between ownership of the device vs of the license.

I've been a Chrome user since it was first available. I've tried to go back to Firefox multiple times. When the containers plugin hit the front page a week or two ago I decided to try it out.

I'm not using the beta or nightly builds because I'm lazy. However, Firefox with containers has sold me and I've switched to it for everything except development. I'm too used to Chrome Dev tools it's been hard to switch :|

I absolutely love Firefox+Containers though. I just wish I could make it auto-open-in-container with wildcards. For example, open all *.mywork.com pages in my Work profile.

GitLab CI does this.

This is a website a coworker of mine made. He wanted an easy way to price match on specific features of cameras and lenses (and has since added Single Board Computers).

The problem with other sites is that it's just mass scrapped/curated from other sources. Camera Panda has curated specific feature sets as well as price matches between different retailers.

Feedback welcome here and I'll forward it on to him!

A bit off topic. What I really want in map software (specifically for finding my way): know that I know my way around certain areas. The beginning of my commute no matter where I go is full of turns every minute or two. It makes listening to audio books impossible because interrupted with "in 100 feet..." Constant.

Just day "go to $MAJORPOINT" then start giving me step by step directions.

But also, people who have addictions wouldn't be considered criminals so they wouldn't be so reluctant to get help.

how do you do #2? I can't find it? For example, I want Facebook to always open in my "Facebook" container.

EDIT: I guess I just had to ask then my brain figured it out. :) Open the page in the container you want, right click the extension icon and choose "Always open in this container"

Oh, I know it exists, and I know tons of people are using it.

But like I said, I don't think that the tooling is there right now for mass migration (or anything like it). It's really difficult to test/debug. It's difficult to dianose issues. It's difficult to even set up a "Hello World" API Gateway that uses lambdas. It's painful... as are all new technoligies.

I guess what I mean to say is: I look forward when I just jump on AWS and start using it for a production app, and the boilerplate and amount of config files I have to maintain drops.

I'm also aware of the tool called "serverless" ( https://serverless.com/ ) which is also a step in the right direction.

I am a believer in "Serverless" and that it will play a primary role in a large portion of developers' lives... in the future

My experience with servless is that while this may be true at a certain level:

> No server management

I feel like in Amazon's current toolset, you are MORE aware of "servers" than you ever have been before. It's just abstracted into a different layer (cloudformations, etc). The boilerplate for severless projects it's a complete mess, imo.

Besides that, the Develop/Test/Deploy/Manage lifecycle is really difficult to reason about. I would hate to be the one on call when a serverless service goes down and I have to figure out what's going on!

I look forward to Amazon releasing more tools (or cleaning up the ones they have) to make Serverless a breeze to work in.

[EDIT] clarification of a couple minor things

I agree. However I have yet to see a better alternative. Are there any out there?

Yes. You use the new Moby to build your own distro using a yaml file and you can choose to use LinuxKit as the base. Then you can install additional items on top of it and it outputs various images types: IMG, iso, Google cloud images, etc.

That's obviously not the only way to enforce abortion laws. You make abortions illegal, then you hold the doctors accountable.

Since it doesn't make sense to imprison the parent in an abortion doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to ban the medical practice of abortion. It's a silly argument, really.

They could even use that to monetize people who want to vote but don't want to go to the game (and even monetize away games). Purchase of an at-game ticket comes with a free voters pass. Or can can buy a voter pass on a game-by-game basis or a season pass.
