Hard disagree. The most important part of the election, from a news perspective, will be during/after the count, especially if it looks like Harris will win, or it's exceedingly close. Maybe this wouldn't be the case pre-Trump, when elections were decided relatively quickly, and you could assume a peaceful transfer of power.

In a formal setting, I think this is called a "roast", when a famous person is the target of the bullying.

Not surprising I guess, since our survival literally depended on that capability for tens of thousands of years (and still does, to a lesser extent)

I did this for my recent automobile purchase. It's very convenient from my perspective to simply write a check and hand it to them.

I don't think Apple expected to move a ton of these. It's more a proof of concept that they can iterate on. In five years, it may look a lot different.

We have "piles" everywhere. Woe to you if you move or rearrange a pile...

I was flying back to the US from Mexico on United the day after the meltdown. Reading the news, I was obviously quite concerned about how it was going to go (I was traveling with my 10 and 6 year old kids). Amazingly, everything went off without a hitch; not even the slightest delay.

I asked the guy at the luggage counter, and he said the day before was pretty crazy, but they had everything straightened out by the next day.

I wonder if she would even be able to get her foot in the door in Hollywood nowadays. She has a very "unconventional" look that doesn't necessarily align with the modern standards of beauty that generally are table stakes in today's film industry. Of course there are exceptions, but you just don't see many leading women that aren't more like Scarlett Johansson or Nicole Kidman.

Right - I guess technically Biden would be eligible, but for goodness sake, I think even he would admit at that point that it wouldn't be the best move for the party for him to run at age 85.

There were several in 2020; Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris etc. None of them got much traction, and once Biden got momentum after South Carolina, everyone coalesced around him because the main goal for Democrats was "Beat Trump."

In 2028 both parties will really have to figure something out. At least (hopefully) neither Trump nor Biden will be eligible to run.

Exact same for me. I played drums in rock bands for years, the first few of which I used no ear protection. It's a miracle my tinnitus isn't worse.

I don't notice it in normal day to day life, but at night when it's quiet at bedtime, it manifests as a high pitched ringing in both ears. For this reason I prefer to run a fan or something that generates white noise at night, which masks it somewhat.

> Loud restaurants are damaging for the waitstaff's health. You can work for hours in an environment so loud that OSHA would demand hearing protection.

I should preface by saying that I have some existing tinnitus that developed from playing drums in rock bands in my 20's without proper ear protection. It's manageable and quiet enough that it can be largely ignored.

Recently I visited Las Vegas, and I ate at the well known restaurant Tao. It was so incredibly loud, for a sustained period of time, that it triggered the tinnitus in my left ear to such an extent that I was essentially deaf in my left ear the next morning. It gradually receded to loud ringing, and then was back to my "normal" level of tinnitus after a couple of weeks.

I guess I'll have to bring my own hearing protection to restaurants now. Kind of a sad state of affairs.

> you'll write better documentation for that new feature in a few weeks when you have some time

The trick here is to make a ticket for it. At least then, it can be prioritized appropriately, instead of disappearing into a void.

I have a slightly different problem. What I miss about the physical book is its context - that is to say, the cover art, its particular weight, the font face, how the chapter numbers are printed, etc., which give a book its certain "feel." With an e-book, you don't get any of that, so all books have a kind of sameness.

In the article it states that they will use already existing tracks that are owned by Union Pacific, so there won't need to be any new infrastructure.

Oh gosh, I didn't realize that was possible!

I just ignore it, I don't know why anyone would pay to turn it off. It goes away as soon as you start reading the book.

I always marvel at how bizarre it is that there's a permanent ad on the Kindle even when it's "off". The books they recommend are never pertinent to me in the slightest.

> Having your first kid at 38 is old, I should know.

Had my first kid at 45 and second at 49. Guess that makes me ... ancient?

Same here! I'm in my 50's, so I often have to wake up to pee at anywhere from 3 - 5 AM. Sometimes I go right back to sleep but sometimes not. Then it's up at 6:15 AM to get the kids going for school (I had kids really late.)

I've just become accustomed to being in a semi-groggy state much of the time. I know it's not ideal, but I'm just not gifted with being a good sleeper. Conversely, my wife can sleep 10 hours in a row if given the opportunity.

In the rare situation where I get 6 to 7 hours of unbroken sleep, I feel fantastic.

Often times, the hotels don't even require to turn in these cards upon checkout, so they are thrown in the trash. A nefarious actor could just pull one out of the trash and so not even have to be a guest in the hotel.

To be fair, he does tell them to study. But only because you have to get into a good college to find other people to found startups with.

Because PG is a survivor, and he's biased.

Really cool! Seems like the arrow keys don't work as expected? Or maybe I'm missing something. I was excited to change the apple to pear or strawberry on the Tutorial page, but it didn't seem to work.

I would imagine it's extremely hard to prove though. The prospective employer could just maintain that the applicant "wouldn't be a good culture fit" or similar.

Plus, that was not a stock bubble, that was a bad loans bubble. Real people borrowed trillions of dollars they then couldn't pay back. This is a completely different phenomenon.

Not saying this current bubble won't pop eventually, but the scale would be on a completely different order of magnitude. It's not likely that 170-year-old banks will collapse and be sold off for pennies on the dollar (Lehman Brothers) if this bubble ends.

> Collection happens at central points shared by a few houses. So if you fuck it up, your neighbors will know.

See, that's the key. In my area, we have compost, recycling and trash bins for each home. What you put in it is up to your moral compass. Nobody is checking or seeing what you put in there. If there was some peer pressure around that, things would change rather quickly, I'd imagine. Though I can't see such a system emerging in the states. People like to do their own thing, individually, and not be bothered with it.

I often feel like if we could discover the deepest rules governing these kinds of behaviors in nature, it would give us a stronger basis for deriving a "theory of everything" than trying to reconcile classical vs. quantum physics.

So, I guess LLMs are actually creating jobs rather than destroying them. Not exactly fun jobs though.
