Oh Crazy. It is so frustrating, for people with ADHD, in order to have our brains stimulated enough to keep focus, we have to read and hear it at the same time, so our option is to buy it twice.

Rather them work on natural reading of the books with Text To Speech. People with disabilities such as Dyslexia, ADHD, partial or total Blindness have to hobble on with the terrible TTS available. You have to select the text to get it to read, which means you will have to do that each page. A simple play & stop button for "read aloud" would solve this. They love to think about use cases to make things easier for their users, but have they hired disabled people to give comment? This has been a glaring issue to me, and I've told Apple, but nothing ever comes of it. Cool animation though .

the firebombing i am discussing is this one: https://exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirnames/feature/black-wa... and the battle of blair mountain

Your ego is getting in the way of seeing the facts friend. Just because it happened before your lifetime doesn’t make it somehow less of an atrocity. US was founded on slavery and genocide. Now we outsource genocide for oil, and do slave labor in our prisons in accordance with the 13th amendment.

Not a fan of any authoritarianism, but USA could also be described the same way. We have massive data warehouses that just collect everything, phone calls, texts, internet packets. We just have different owners, but its the same game.

If you haven't read up on the unclassified docs that have been released about the secret agencies of this country, you should. We've done everything and worse to our own citizens. Including firebombing entire cities, sending the military to kill people striking, dosing unaware Americans with LSD... the list is long.

If they're still hashing files, its not end to end.

An anecdote, an activist had a document in their Google Drive. It was not something people high up wanted being distributed. It was deleted not just from their account, but platform wide. Guess how they did that? Its hash.

If only our government wasn't beholden to corporate power, they'd enforce the union busting laws. They know that if enough big companies become unionized, the workers would be able to exert democratic corporate power and influence government.

Code isn't going to solve anything unless the people deciding on what to code are the people who are directly affected by it. Code today written by America's engineers is dictated top down by their CEO's or board who are only looking to enrich themselves, so the result will be the same.

> The instrument can look for methane in the same way. “It turns out that methane also has a spectral signature in the same wavelength range, and that’s what has allowed us to be sensitive to methane,” EMIT principal investigator Robert Green said at a press conference, according to Space.com’s Mike Wall.

Lol "it turns out". Did they troll Congress and sell them a mineral detector? Of course they knew methane had a spectral signature.

EDIT: No idea why people downvoting, I think it's hilarious and good we can detect it.

100% I think my original photo is a bit oversaturated. The real issues I see are where it makes blue things brown and red things green.

I ran a test with a photo I took if people are curious. It does a great job for guessing, but of course there is room for improvement.

Github makes money from private repo subscriptions, Sourceforge was ad based. Also Github focuses on source code hosting, a lot / most Sourceforge projects just hosted the release files to a project.

The quality of the site went down hill, even with ads showing download buttons trying to trick the user.

thanks

thanks

I don't think this is working for me, I just see the radio, map and status windows and the blue logo background. Am I supposed to see something else?

So whomever is majority gets to decide what information is trustworthy? I understand it's supposed to utilize sensors and all sorts of criteria to come up with a logical & reasonable trustworthiness check. But what if one of your majority voting blocs doesn't believe in science? It's humans doing the verification, which can be corrupted.

Utter bullsh1t. Google needs to be broken up.

I look forward to new frameworks being easier to use and helpful. These new Frontend frameworks, React, Vue, Svelte, just made things 100 times more complicated. Sure they're useful for SPA's and certain use cases, but the majority of the web doesn't need to be over-engineered to the nth degree. I laughed hysterically when I learned Google wouldn't spider content properly on SPAs. Then laughed again when they had to build another app, such as Next, or Nuxt, just to do so.

It doesn't.

A lot of people talking about Uber, so I'll mention that with Uber, you use your own vehicle. That vehicle loses value the more you work for Uber with it. Uber is extracting that value from your vehicle and using it to profit from.

Uber, Doordash, etc should be paying for the depreciation of every vehicle they use, as well as fuel usage.

The gaslighting. The usage of energy isn't the cause, its the source of the energy.

They did this with recycling too, its the individual's responsibility to save the planet, not the companies packaging their products terribly to save a buck.

Not directly related, but I dream of a future where laws are published on GIT. New laws, or updates get pull requested, approval is voted on, then merged to master.

Even with Apple's Lossless format, it doesn't matter much because most people are listening through Bluetooth, which does not support lossless transmission.

wait till you hear about generational trauma. do we have trauma from the entire history of our ancestors? :|

People need to stand up to the corruption and wealth inequality, or this isn't just some far off concern, it will happen. These big companies are quite happily enjoying the same scenario internationally where workers live at their factories. Don't for a second think they won't do it here.

Zoning laws are stupid as hell, it prevents upward movement of the middle-class because in order to afford to rent a space to do business in the approved locations in California, you must be a millionaire. Him doing work in his backyard wasn't hurting anyone. If people can work remotely from the comfort of their own home, he should be able to also.

You can enter a nearby address by hand just as simply.

Came to say this, I have GPS disabled globally on my laptop.

The "movie" example music had me laughing at the similarity to Bob's Burger Patty Cake scene. https://youtu.be/GfCkzqJZAR0?t=145
