Not where many people live. In winter here the air is so dry you need to run humidifiers or your skin starts to crack.

I think is true for places that have moist air already. But for colder climates a house with central heating the air often gets drier (even outside) than the worst deserts on earth.

So, in that environment adding moisture makes the air warmer. (with proper heating of course)

This was in context to someone in a house with proper heating, but still feeling cold.

I recently remembered to tell my kids "I like hanging out with you" or "this was nice being with you today". I did it a while back when I had a realization that my parents didn't like spending time with me and I didn't want my kids to feel that. But then I forgot for a time...

Add moisture to the air also as it conducts heat better and the same temperature will "feel" warmer. (especially important in some climates more than others)

Ask my wife what she prefers and tell her what I prefer.

Years of marriage before we figured out I hate cleaning small things (silverware and glasses) and she hates cleaning big things (pots and pans). We permanently changed how we clean up after meals.

Not exactly in line with your premise, but changed my entire outlook about expressing what I want or prefer about almost anything.

Would there be an equivalent to Godwin's law for bots then?

For example "If 2 bots find each other on a discussion forum ... something, something ... infinite loop"?

You are right that it's easy to filter out "nazi" and "hitler" from GPT (probably already done)

It would seem nearly bonkers that this would work though.

Can you sell it to a friend, give him a legitimate receipt (from you) and have him go to Apple? (seems like a hack, but it checks the ownership box for your friend)

This is nearly a ludicrous leap of logic with an ad hominem attack only slightly disguised.

Maybe that market is current saturated? And they are now trying to get lower income buyers.

In most of the world (my rough guess) a Tesla costs as much or more than a house. Not an easy thing to invest in that rusts, crashes and wears out.

You're Jack's grammar pedantic brother.

How long should we wait before recycling a term/phrase? There are many words people have never heard today that were common even in the 80s. Which is far more recent than the 40s.

Someone has to be the first to let sleeping dogs lie.

(note, I've _never_ heard spook used for anything other than a spy, and I am old guy)

I agree with you. I got tired of fighting with regex where I got to the point of simply not using it if at all possible.

A comment further up offered a very promising alternative.

It's a bit verbose, but I don't care anymore, I am too much a veteran to care about my code being sleek, I want it readable and workable.

From my experience this is only triggered when generating something like a thousand IDs a second (or more?), something I never run into in the systems I work on.

Since _every_ system has a down side or limitation, I am perfectly happy with ULID's flaws.

Why should there be disdain or dismissal of a system that solves many people's problems?

Why does the spec need updating? As far as I can tell it's finished. Maybe your concern is a little irrational?

(fyi, I am very happy user of ULID for years, I don't need libraries to be updated to keep using it)

I am wanting UUIDv7 but I can use ULID right now.

Why I won't buy a Tesla (as of today) even though they are amazing.

I rented a model Y, and the ride, fit, finish, comfort, speed, venting is super cool, charging, range, power/speed settings that affect drive experience, all _amazing_ ... but... (no particular order)

- Door handles SUCK, open the wrong way and often require TWO hands. (I am not old/feeble)

- Unlocking the door SUCKS. You have to tap the key card multiple times, or in an exact spot.

- Locking the doors SUCK. You have to either find some obscure tiny lock icon on the touch screen... or just walk away an HOPE it locks. I actually couldn't tell if the car actually locked because it AUTO UNLOCKS when you get near it.

- The touch screen SUCKS. While many simple controls were easy enough, and the large screen was nice for navigation, most of it was miserably tedious. Repeat actions should be easy, but it was a constant chore to find and re-find.

- The physical controls on the steering wheel (you guessed it) SUCK. They are not labeled, and they are context sensitive so you are required to look at the screen to figure out what they are affecting. But sometimes, it's a tiny spot on the screen that it affects, and you can't see what it is doing. And since it changes what it affects, you can't rely on muscle memory.

- Lane controls SUCK. It constantly wines and alerts you, and warns you, and steers back into your lane. I tried multiple times to shut it all off, and I could simply not turn somethings off. (I work in IT, I googled it, there was nothing obviously locked down the rental company)

- Price (sucks)

Why is lane control seemly required? (my opinion) Because all the car's controls are out of your safe driving line of sight. Without this I think most Teslas would be in persistent minor/major accidents. The bad so far outweighs the good...

I hope they either allow disabling the babysitting features or make a simpler car without them. Add real physical buttons. Put a _real_ dashboard that you can see without getting distracted.

Many people _refuse_ housing for these reasons: (I've been directly told these, or have seen them reported)

* Housing is dangerous/scary (robbery, rape, physical violence, etc...)

* Housing is a conspiracy (to control people or other irrational ideas)

* The rules of housing are too restricting. (can't have a pet, visitors, noise rules, cleanliness rules, curfew rules, behavior rules, etc...)

There are others as well, but can't recall immediately.

A church can't fix these problems, no matter how rich.

I was in the reverse situation than you, maybe something I have to offer will help. I was suicidal as a young teen, hospitalized for it (forcibly) as a risk to myself. The last time I considered suicide was in my late 30s.I have too much to say, so I will try to start with the most important.

Find someone else to care about, and do something for them. (keep doing this until you feel better)

There are so many people in trouble with so many issues. This will instantly take your mind off your own problems.

No matter what you are going to suffer. Either your suffering will be because change and taking action (against procrastination) hurts really bad. (people who dismiss this pain have never experienced it) Or you are going suffer a life of decline.

You need to have some belief and faith in the answers given to you here that they will do you any good. I've followed advice that I had no belief would work because I was at the end of my rope multiple times, but I trusted the person saying it. (what else can you do sometimes?)

Look for things to be grateful for.

I've had zero money in the bank and mouths to feed, be grateful you have a home (I assume), some money in the bank etc... Really think about these things and try and appreciate them.

I am in my later years now, and because of my past I grit my teeth and accept the pain of facing my problems head on because I've proved over and over again that yields the best results for having a satisfying life.

If you keep looking you will figure something out and find the courage, strength and hope.

Waste storage.

If zealous supporters of nuclear asked for nuclear waste to be stored in their neighborhoods, I'd be on board for more nuclear power right now.

> ...I do think it's VERY healthy to approach sensationalist headlines with a level-headed and down to Earth attitude instead.

My experience on HN is there is a bias for critical thinking. If it's traditional nuclear power or climate change, the bias is for it. If it's new battery tech or fusion power the bias is against.

Does it only feel "very healthy" to be critical because you are being critical of the idea?

I have been called "contrarian" to my face. I understand the deep seated need to be "absolutely certain", but maybe there _is_ something going here other than that?

I am just saying many of these things are subjective, and just because someone says "it's baggage" doesn't mean it is for everyone.

> ...if it didn't come with so much societal baggage.

Isn't societal baggage also a perception issue? Take 10 people with all the same physical traits and the same social situation and you will get 10 different perspectives.

Why should I accept there is _any_ baggage as a fact? It may just appear so for a massive amount of people, and _that_ could be fluid.

Gmail.com was redirecting (still does) and that at the time sub-domains could share cookies with the main domain.

Therefore, gmail.google.com could track cookies and activity via google.com.

This has been fixed since then, so I think the memory of the internet is short and wouldn't understand how bad this was in retrospect.

(my previous edits: Yep, I didn't want to drag this out. My memory was off on something.)

It did, I watched it explicitly for this reason, but I guess unless it's documented somewhere, oh well. It was even googlemail.com for awhile.

Edit: It's possible my concern was the subdomain and my memory is off. It moved from a subdomain to a /gmail at one point (or something similar). That is when I swore off it.

What clearly recall is that there was something wrong, either it was how it did a redirect to google.com first and then back or shared cookies in a very sneaky way that alerted me. (I was building sites at the time and I was privacy conscience early on in my career)

They did this with Gmail years ago. Same scheme, I warned everyone that gmail.com would change over to a google related domain, and it didn't take long. And I tried to explain how it meant every email could be directly related to your internet traffic.

"What do I have to hide?" was always the response...

> I've heard of Twitter accounts getting banned because they mentioned some of these subjects in context of criticizing them. (which is the opposite result that would be expected)

My comment above is the very reason for this discussion. Not using the site is the same as suggesting not commenting here, which is nearly nonsensical.

My personal opinion is that Phil is a busy guy and doesn't have time to carefully analyze your request with any nuance.

Here's an example of the difficulty.

"Phil, can you review the article [link to blog] where you banned us from? We are critically analyzing a very socially sensitive topic and while we are disagreeing with the majority of people, we actually encouraging unity and are not encouraging any hate. You can clearly see if you read our entire article."

Or, "I only linked to Trump's tirade to point out how insane it is. Can you re-read my article....?"

What is the "process" for resolving conflicts with Phil?

(the key part of my concern)

My understanding (from a bank teller) is that you can ask the bank to do this for you. No need to ask the other party.

Hence the scam another comment mentioned, as most people don't know this.
