"on-brand" or could it arguably be some truth to it?

The lack of diversity in SV is stark, and there is pretty clear that they have grown disconnected with a lot of people who work in the world of atoms.

Now, if you can script this for a Raspberry Pi, then the solution is complete.

I've not seen good come out of unions in decades.

Example of unions that are net negative for society: police unions, teacher unions.

Wrong. It's not a luxury product when 47% of the population choose to buy it (US).

As an Apple product user, I find their products+services+software the most enjoyable and more importantly the most trustworthy. I happily pay more $ for that attribute. Alternatives already exist for people who have other priorities (Android etc.).

Highly recommend reading the book Kontiki (or watch the movie) for the incredible story of Thor Heyerdahl demonstrating that sailing on a raft from South America to Polynesia is possible and a theory that now seems even more likely with the current DNA evidence.

As a consumer, I hope nothing changes with the App Store. It may be tough for some app developers, but it sure is a haven for consumers.

ICE arrests are significantly down under the current administration compared to the previous administration.

"By accepting the ICE contract previously it was political."

Just a reminder that government entities like ICE are executing the current laws of the land.

Is this a scheme from adcompanies like Google to circumvent Pi-hole?

I can attest to this. A HealthKit duplication bug (all your rides got duplicated in Apple Health app) was lingering with Strava for over 2 years. A large group of people interacted with their support/engineering to fix it, nothing came out of it, people left.

This is might be great news from a societal healthcare perspective. Just like in England during WW2, meat was is short supply, and as a result people had to resolve to eating more vegetables etc. The end results was a generation (for those WW2 years) that never before or after has been as healthy.

Both life expectancy (excluding those in the military) and birth mortality went down

It's a great study in epigenetics.

The fact check is obviously incorrect. But note that this research also considers "baking" in oven at 70 celsius for 30 min, and other tests.

FYI. Dr. Larry Chu is an absolutely brilliant person. This should be considered as solid evidence and recommendation.

Yes, that would raise eyebrows, except that's not the case here at all.

He also states he will focus now as Disney Chairman more on the creative side "because that becomes our biggest priority in 2021".

Bob Iger has long voiced his desire to retire, it's been postponed several times. He wrote about it at length in his most recent book. Just pulled the trigger.

Love your work!

Correct. No need to specify.

Converting GIF to MP4 creates a much better user experience and lowers file size:

  ffmpeg -i input.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" output.mp4

"I'd prefer if neither China nor US have backdoor access."

So would I, but having lived in both countries, one of the two governments is decidedly more evil than the other.

I got to learn about disruption theory through Horace Dediu (http://www.asymco.com) who is probably one its best explainers and practitioners (the latter being why you should listen to Dediu in the first place - skin in the game).

I'm currently trying out Copilot (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/copilot-smart-budgets-bills/id...)

Love the fact that it is a paid app, so my data will not be monetized as a revenue model. Happy to pay for privacy.

#1 - I don't eat meat.

#2 - I don't drink milk.

#3 - I don't drink alcohol.

#4 - I bike to work.

It's a word for a meat market, or a butcher's shop, in other words – a bloody mess.

Nonsense. Pharma will greatly benefit from the increase in number of schizophrenia patients.

Cannabis is a well established trigger among people whose genes are latent for schizophrenia or other psychosis.

How to force this option for the whole organization/workspace?

Calling Gawker "rude" is at the same level as calling Baghdadi an "Austere Religious Scholar"
