I like Assistive Access, but my biggest issue is that you have to click like 100 times to read any notification. No option to just be able to read a text from the home screen. I found it was even more friction (for my use) to unlock my phone constantly than the regular format.
I'm not sure much matters to them aside from quarter-over-quarter growth. Take climate change, for example. Bad for business in the long run but here we are.
I've been trying to start on embedded in my own time, but I don't have much experience at all and have been spinning my wheels getting up to speed. I'm generally YouTube/docs first, but do you find any particular LLM to be most helpful and reliable at a introductory level?
While this focuses mainly on the consumer-credit card company relationship, I wanted to add this interesting study on the relationship between consumers across socioeconomic strata:
```
Since retailers usually charge the same price regardless of payment method, payment card
rewards programs with different levels of rewards effectively cause some customers to subsidize
the consumption of others. The research presented confirms that households with income
less than $75,000 per year collectively transfer over $3.5 billion to those making more than
$75,000 per year.
Furthermore, the cost of interchange fees to retailers can be significant, especially in competitive
sectors such as gasoline and groceries. This study demonstrates that interchange costs are
typically about 17 to 19 percent of retailer profit. Variance in these costs may induce risk-averse
retailers to set higher prices, thus generating additional economic inefficiencies and hurting retail
consumers.
Negative impacts on low income and minority households and small businesses have become
“entrenched” and are likely to get worse as interchange fees continue to increase. This economic
inefficiency will not change unless there is a “sufficiently large shock” in the form of policy or
technology to change the dynamics of the monopolies holding sway over the credit card system.

I'm going to take the opposite view and say paying teachers 32k is a bad thing--here's an article from an hour ago saying that 90% of Illinois schools have a teacher shortage tied directly to low pay. Clearly this salary isn't signaling that the market is saturated with teachers.
Setting aside the merits of teaching and childcare on their own, failing to fill teaching positions now in favor of other jobs is going to lead to students who are unprepared to continue to fill said jobs in the future.
That's probably because making participation in a specific political establishment compulsory is authoritarianism and it, by design, will face less vocal dissent
Turns out we should have left all the trolley wires and electrified rails in and swapped the power supply upstream. Although if we had done that a lot of our hydrocarbon dependency would have been prevented in the first place.
Imagine spending years of your life wading through something offensively unreadable written by somebody who left nothing to explain it. But enough about our codebase, cool article!
Amazing, can't wait to see where you end up! Let me know if you need a hand too. I love web mapping projects--I got into programming through QGIS/leaflet on the way to a couple degrees in GIS and urban planning.
This is really cool, makes me nostalgic for a lot of time georeferencing random maps from the library of congress or from municipal archives etc.
In that same vein, you could add a feature where users could contribute georeferenced map files for community review and approval--I think that would really increase your scalability. I see you have an email for that currently.
Not a helpful contribution to your first question but I agree with the i3 comparison. Trying to get my volume buttons working on i3 reminded me of using AHK to reconfigure the numpad with numlock off to media control on one of my old windows desktops
I used to work construction with one of those big old radios covered in paint that has been dropped 1000 times--we got around to using an FM transmitter dangling off the phone for it. It was fun + charming, since then I've thought about getting a big radio setup and hard-wiring Bluetooth in but your setup sounds truer to the concept.
I mean clearly they failed to beat Apple in mobile markets for decades and could also do to have less new Macs purchased while not having much skin in the game with computer hardware. I'm not sure right to repair would be more challenging to any tech company's business model than Apple--seems like a straightforward strategy for Microsoft?
I love how culty the Rust sphere is. I don't have many opportunities to use it but I always stop to watch tutorials/read articles because of how enthusiastic people are about the language
I think a lot of this investment for him is personal brand. Giving millions to community colleges would probably create tens of thousands of opportunities versus marginal benefit to Ivy leaguers, but having your name on a building at Harvard versus 180 community college libraries is big difference in prestige and brand-recognition for the types of graduates you want to apply to your firm.
Disconnect between direct federal funding and aggregate funding from a variety of public institutions or grants from publicly funded NGOs at national/state/local levels I imagine.
That quote is an auto industry representative saying the transition to electric vehicles will take longer than the federal government is urging (which is to say, it'll take another 100 years by their measures). On my end I meant the 20th century rather than an exact 100 year period.
Funny to see that quote "This requires a massive, 100-year change [..] to the way Americans drive" when this has no real effect on a century of autocentric land use in the US and only represents an even heavier subsidization program. Even if the motors change this is entirely aligned with the way Americans drive/live.
While offering mortgages might (like a traditional bank), the "mortgage-debt industry" profits from transacting on debt (the subprime mortgage crisis was a better example of this, and while the industry was bailed out the homeowners were not) which ties in with increasing housing costs (for instance, allegations about certain companies buying up housing stock and overpaying strategically to increase valuations) and foments disparities in housing.
I agree, I think that a lot of discourse on this website is grounded in critiquing people's misconceptions about these AI models when in reality accepting the concerns of writers, artists, consumers of online content, etc and offering them even superficial peace of mind is much more conducive to gaining popular support at a broader scale than teaching people how they work.
