I'm curious if there's a good way to extend this to reply videos that refute the main video. If you lock it to the original authors control then if someone e disagrees with them and is fact checking their BS that reply would never get seen.

Maybe an author's hilight section and then an "other replies" that's more open.

If it's anything like redesign work I'm used to, someone redesigned and just happened to remove it with little reason for it. Then the numbers went up as people had to scroll so they assumed everyone loved the redesign and didn't question why.

He specifically disavowed (but supported, indirectly) the blackouts at first. He initially didn't want to risk Reddit retaliating at him for calling for a blackout when (at the time) communication was still somewhat positive.

But he did acknowledge the protest, which I'm sure gave it a lot of attention it didn't have before.

How else can I delay needing to actually think through your question??

That would kill a lot of Twitter culture though (for better or worse). Changing a name for "spooky season", updating a profile pic to promote a new event, etc. It also would make it risky for a large company to change their logo (if Volvo loses verification for a few days it opens them up to a ton of scams).

You'd still have edge cases where a change in verified name is needed (marriages, avoiding deadnaming, etc). A solution like this might narrow the problem space, but it doesn't solve the issues.

That isn't always easy to verify though if you aren't familiar with the person, their public image, and their current events.

For example if Ed Sheeran changes their profile picture to an X, how do you know he means his Multiply album and not some terrible Lil Nas X impersonation. What about if a performer changes their stage name? Can we reliably expect Twitter research this change and know that its the same person?

I'm not sure a bar is the best analogy here though. Yes a bar also derives value from it's users in a way, but a customers value there only really exists for as long as they are in the building. The customer doesn't invest their time and effort in long term value that exists after they leave. There's a moderate community aspect (referrals, recommendations, etc) but not as strongly as social media (or any contribution based site). Feeling a bar owes you something here seems like a stretch unless they solicit donations/volunteers to do a renovation or something.

With social media sites a user is adding content that continues to provide value over time. The user is investing their time, expertise and energy (and often IP as well since some sites claim ownership of contributions), into the site. When they leave, that content often sticks around. It's reasonable for the user to feel that that site owes them something in return.

Legally and realistically I'm not sure how that can be implemented, but the desire there is reasonable and different than a bar.

Time is something I'm struggling with too, though for me it's more that a transaction may have multiple times associated with it but GnuCash only accepts a single one.

For example if I transfer between two banks, the date of the transaction in bank A and bank B differ my a day or more. So now I'm stuck deciding which account is "incorrect". Which also makes importing a pain because it borks the matcher.

As a relatively new GnuCash user id love to hear how you made that coffee report. I'm struggling to customize reports right now so I'm really curious how you'd do something like that.

Also for Fidelity I've been struggling to track all the dividend and various random automatic transactions that happen (incl. ESPP, Stock Awards, etc). How do you manage that so it feels easy? I'm sure I'm just missing the right way to import or something. Id love to learn

Your last option sounds appealing to me here. Yes it does mean that you can never really make the name of your repo fully private after it's been started, but the name isn't really what's important most of the time.

And there's always the potential to add a other toggle when privating a repo that lets you force-remove all stars.

You've described my situation too, though it's not a rent increase I'm worried about, it's the installation of a mandatory smart lock that I've somehow avoided for a few months now.

+1 to learning a little bit of Vim, but I'd say buffers aren't necessary to get a passable experience. At least for casual SSH purposes.

Never been able to get the hang of tmux though. I know it's super powerful but I feel like in constantly fighting it. Though even just screen for keeping multiple console sessions alive at a time is super helpful even if I only use one at a time.

Then add a "we work best in chrome" to your error pages as a workaround when it actually fails, not before you even try.

There's no need for the "go use X browser right now" messages unless you're taking advantage of some bleeding edge API that only exists in one place.

I'm not sure the exact breakdown of their rewards, but baking a COL adjustment and a merit increase in a single number doesn't really count. Makes it way too easy to reduce pay increases.

Depends on how much of comp is based on stock, and how much of that is based stock awards that don't vest immediately/quickly. Its likely that a lot of employees are selling stock asap and wouldn't get to realize all that growth.

Of often they'll be unaware the setting exists or even more likely be unaware that the setting even _might_ exist (and therefore don't even think to Google it).

Though often still theyll be afraid to look around at settings for fear of breaking things.

The Internet Archive at least since it'll keep a URL alive and consistent a lot longer.

At least plain URLs can be manually passed to the internet archive for a lookup, but I'd love if publishers/authors made a habit of maintaining their source links (via shortlinks, published errata, etc).

That said, even with how easy it is to update, Wikipedia suffers from this immensely. I can't count how many times I've tried to track back a source from a wiki and end up with a 404.

I think it's more that you're with a group of people who don't hate advertising enough to take any action against it.

Well now you've got me thinking. That has to be very feasible for any content you own the file for, but I wonder how steaming services currently handle subtitles. Are they embedded into the video stream or are they their own channel? Could a third party pull them out and pass them along to a separate device like that?

Does anyone with more experience have any idea?

Those examples are "pay money to spend more time with the game" but OPs example is "pay money to spend less time playing the game". Both extract money from you, but in different ways.

If I published my own copy of a public domain work I'm not diverting the income stream away from the original creator's estate. Yes I'd be taking some income from it, but the descendants of the author are equally able to do the same. Framing it as of I'd be totally diverting income from the creator is disingenuous.

Besides, I'd still be providing value by taking the time to publish the work and provide it to customers.

It would create a lot of awkward interactions for any of their ex's who see the data after it's published, or their family.

Easier to avoid it at least in the public copy. Though I'd argue even tracking it personally might cause issues if your new SO saw it and started to compare to past partners. Best to just leave it out entirely.

This is my threat model for most things in life. If someone is physically targeting me, I'm fucked. I'm more worried about limiting the casual long-distance attacker since I have more ability to stop them.

If someone steals my DNA I can't stop them. But I can at least avoid being swept up in large scale DNA scanning and tracking efforts.

Except many of those do have reasons, those reasons are just outdated or immoral or context dependent.

The statement doesn't mean to keep the status quo, its meant to encourage tracking down the "why" before tossing things away. If a society says to not eat pigs you can't just decide to one day toss out the law. For all you know the pigs of that region are infected and will make you sick. Throwing away that status quo before tracking down why might end up making things worse.

Contrast may be one root of the technical problem, but claiming a product "ready to launch" while it fails to work for people based on their race (especially when the company clearly didn't put effort into preventing the issue ahead of time) is problematic.

By having a diverse team (or making some effort to include diverse opinions) you'd have a chance to discover new ways to detect faces, or new mitigations to the contrast problem.

But claiming a product is ready for release when it excludes people based on race (no matter the technical reason) is a problem.

Except trademarks are only unique within a specific industry in a specific country.

In the case of Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets for example who would get to have "delta.com"? Then what about all the other countries with independent trademark rules and authorities?

I like the idea, but it would end up being way more complex than it seems.

But doesn't the interception just make it so when a URL fires for the first time you get a browser picker? Or do they force set it when you set your browser default?

If it's the former then I'm totally in favor because there's a choice at least.

Waking the machine is a use case but having things unexpectedly wake the machine is a failure of that use case.

And easily configurable is subjective. Sure most readers here can work through it but requiring use of the CLI is not "easy" for most people. Not to mention the discoverability of that feature in the first place.

Except those channels probably have the means to run it legally and with the right caveats, legalese, tax documentation, etc.

Sweepstakes and giveaways aren't banned, they just have some overhead and legal requirements around them.
