I want to try another provider, but my family (partner, kids, grandparents) stores pictures in Google Photos, shares docs from google drive, etc. It is all the extra stuff I get with Google that feels daunting to me, I'd love to switch for email and calendar.

How in the world do we get money out of politics? I want to so so so badly, but I have no idea how to successfully do it. I can't even figure it out as a thought exercise.

I live in WA (south of seattle) and your description is accurate, there are kids riding around on sidewalks in the area around my house on electric motorcycles that are sold as e-bikes. While I don't personally love it, they kept their distance from my small kids so I figure "let kids be kids". The one instance that frustrated me was they also show up at local mountain bike and skate parks. There they ride up the down trails and destroy a lot of the trail edges, a couple of times I've asked folks to leave.

I was hopeful when I saw the new law that it'll be used as a tool to take action on actual problem usage without punishing those using them safely. Unfortunately I'm aware of the history of laws like this, so I'm worried it'll just be used against lower income / privilege folks. We'll see.

It is one of many columns. The other columns are what most of the analysis is done on.

Ha, we (my partner at our company) filed this issue 5 years ago. We have a large-ish (but not giant) json blob in one of our timescale tables that I'd love to get better compression on. It changes just frequently enough that we didn't split it into columns, but infrequently enough that it could (I think) be compressed quite nicely. Generally timescale has been great for us.

Sort of, that it crosses so many lines makes it seem like it must be 6X, but it peaks at 230 based on a baseline of 100, so just 2.3X their baseline. Still a ton, but not as much as I thought at first glance.

Isn't [bad thing is happening] let's work backwards and find [difficult to find cause] a really solid approach?

I don't need one to know where it goes, but it certainly is better than I am at never missing one.

The comment above says "uplifting" could you not counter some wrongs by doing some rights?

"Instead of the "Collaboration Sucks" approach, we need to apply Gravitational Pull. For every key project, the Driver defines three essential stakeholders (e.g., Tech Lead, Business Owner, Target User) who form the "Quantum Sync Circle." - this sentence had me so freaked out with all of its buzz words, but man I think I really strongly agree with it. I love the inclusion of target user!

I know from a strictly economic standpoint the things I do are the things I want. But is doing an activity are you addicted to what you really want in a human sense?

That very well may be all this is, I wasn't alive for the last famous president. I suppose folks feelings about him do feel similar to the other types of celebrity infatuation. I've never really understood the way people relate to famous people, I wonder if it is escapism, an inhuman place to project the idealized good or evil they imagine exists but that they never find in people who they actually know.

While I generally agree that he doesn't look all that smart in the traditional sense, during the early part of his first election I don't think he had the full power of right wing media behind him. He is _excellent_ at something, and I think demagoguery might be a reasonable term for it. He seems to me to be very good at saying things that make people feel "activated" (to quote dang above). It is almost like the way he speaks is the human manifestation of the engagement algorithm that it took Facebook years and years to develop. It is really quite something.

Tragedy?

While describing it this way may make it sound worse, this is (IME) how it works. For some folks the optimization is intuitive and mostly happens subconsciously for some others it doesn't and needs more focus.

A long time ago I started noting when people (esp. my partner) said they like certain things in my phone, then I get them as gifts days, weeks, months, years later. People now think I'm very thoughtful, but I'm just a good note taker. The experience made me think that people who are naturally more "thoughtful", at least partially, just have better memories.

I was so excited when I saw this and now I'm disappointed. This kind of statement "quit on trying to win clients that are trying to get the best price" creates a false dichotomy of those who are trying to pay nothing and those willing pay whatever. There are tons of customers in the middle who are happy to pay for important services but think 30K (3% in high COL areas) is too much for the services rendered.

That being said, I think as long as you are honest that "better pricing" isn't your goal then fair enough. It isn't the service for me, but I'm sure some folks will certainly be excited about it.

Replace salary with the thing he wants

I'm in the Seattle metro area and 25K to 40K is very common. They tell you all kinds of subsidies and payback periods but the out of pocket or loan is always in that range. And payback periods are terrible here given the weather.

For a while dokku was selling a pro version with a web ui and json api. I don't really mind the CLI so while we bought it I don't really use it. I see there hasn't been much activity on pro, I wonder if it is still a focus.

I can think of a few reasons why people want (either already or after enough pulls of the slot machine) a committed relationship.

Though to be clear, just because I think the other more stable thing is valuable to folks even with the availability of the sex slot machine, I still don't love businesses trying to push slot machines or any kind really.

5 - 6 years ago I used sails and regretted it because of the assumptions made in waterline about databases. At the time there was no transaction support and joins were a mess. This was pre-1.0, so perhaps it has changed.

These days I use DRF because I like getting the built in Django admin for free. I know it is a bit dated in some ways, but I love the way Django structures things, works for my mental model.

I'm surprising myself a bit, but I think I agree. I think these types of problems are inherent in companies of a certain size. When you reach a point where there is so much structure that you can only progress via metrics those metrics will inherently start to only serve themselves instead of the original goal they were attempting to be a proxy for.

I wonder about this constantly. Why is there such a legal power imbalance between people and companies, especially large companies? If a company wants to charge me extra they just do it, they don't have to provide proof of anything. If I want to resolve the issue I have to call them or my credit card company, neither is simple and has something like a 75% chance of being successful (IME) even if I'm completely right.

On two separate occasions a company has charged me for something and after I've made multiple calls and escalations (which of course can only happen during certain hours) they finally refunded me by saying "we'll make a one-time exception as a favor to you" even though they were literally stealing from me. In one case they only finally did it after I contacted the attorney general.

Honestly I don't even really care if it was a mistake (which are usually systemic issues) vs intentional, it is theft. In one example Comcast charged me a late fee even though I had autopay set up and they just missed running the charge. I wonder how many people just didn't notice.

I've long thought the only solution to these issues is to levy fines (or jail time if intentional theft) large enough to discourage the behavior. If it is still happening, keep raising the fines until it stops.

While true and a fair rebuttal to all higher tax suggestions, increased tax on people like OP would have a much larger effect than just them giving a bit more away.

I wanted this so bad I wrote up a quick personal app that pulls from a couple of subscribed Google calendars and does almost exactly like what you are asking for. I don't know how anyone plans multi-day events without it. Huge for family meetings where we are planning out the year.

Whoa, WHOA, I could never have named or described this but it suddenly felt like I was 8 hoping for specific christmas gifts again.

I'm not pro Google, and I'm finally un-googling my life. But I don't think it is great to compare food to ads, one is required to live.

Mailgun does

I run into black bears a couple of times a year mountain biking in the PNW, I usually just see their back as they run away. I think it is extremely unlikely to be attacked by one. Grizzlies are a bit different certainly.

Isn't that the Porsche? I get that the price makes that not an option for most (including me).

Also maybe I'm just proving your point by saying that there is one option.
