To me it's like Van Halen's "No brown M&Ms" rule. If they didn't pay attention there, what else did they miss? What else did their QA team miss?

The same program that was two weeks away from completion since the nineties. And will again be two weeks away the next time it's convenient.

I hid mine because someone with five minutes of free time could probably find my real name just from the small list of subreddits I follow: The town I currently live in, my home country, and a handful of subs from which you clearly can infer that I'm a software developer.

Battlefield is the opposite. I struggle to find a positive discussion about the game, which has a lot of flaws but which I still quite enjoy, as a very casual and occasional player.

Rules are also going in the right direction where I live. The onus is now on the homeowner association to justify denying you the permission to install a charging spot by your private parking space.

I luckily live in a building with reasonable people, but it's the exception rather than the rule.

I can fill my 35L tank, pay, and be on my way in about 2 minutes. That gives me about 750km of autonomy. That's why I don't mind not having a gas station at the curb.

I can also show up at the gas station at any moment with a reasonable upper wait limit.

It's a bit disingenuous to ignore the downsides of not being able to charge at home. Public charging points may not exist, be too few, or be taken. If you drive enough, then you somewhat need to structure your life around charging your car.

Yes that was the reason put forward, which is absolutely ridiculous if you think about it.

Some teams within the same group had to travel far more than others. Some played at noon in a California stadium shaped like a oven while others played later in cooler climates or in climate controlled stadiums. Some games had to be interrupted because of thunderstorms.

Yet the only measure they took for "fairness" happened to be the one that incidentally allowed them to make more money. Let's be honest for a second, a three minutes break amounts to a somewhat lengthy VAR or offside check, a slow corner kick, or an injured player getting escorted off the field.

If anything, it makes it _more_ unfair to make it mandatory everywhere. It's not an advantage, it's supposed to make up for a particularly hot/humid weather. Now your next opponent will have had the benefit of an extra 6 minutes break, without the disadvantage of having exerted themselves in a very hot weather.

Any talk of fairness when out of the window when FIFA decided to put their thumb on the scale and rescind Balogun's red card anyway.

A break to drink water is not a new thing in La Liag. It's however only implemented when the temperature reaches a certain threshold (I think 30 degrees but I may be wrong), which I think makes sense and is acceptable.

The World Cup turned it into a farce by making it mandatory even during a rainy 19 degrees weather, or inside climate controlled stadiums.

It's still close to 40 degrees in Sevilla these days.

Things happening does not mean it a social norm. It was never acceptable to take underskirt pictures in Japan. They also did not put the onus on women to wear special camera-disabling underwear.

Likewise, it's not acceptable to shove a camera to everyone's face, and it shouldn't be on people to opt-out of it.

There already are privacy laws that govern what can be filmed where. Why do we need a standard to pretty please ask some glasshole to respect the law if it's not too much of an inconvenience?

You're getting this wrong. We don't need a standard to signal you don't want your bike to be stolen. The social expectation is that a bike can't be taken.

What the parent comment is suggesting is to invert the onus. "I can film you by default, unless you tell me not to".

Why do we need a standard for something that should socially be the norm?

But do they have Act of Special Operation exemptions?

I was toying with a similar idea in my head, I'll definitely give this a try!

I thought so too. When I started, I was obsessed with getting every variable and every step of the process just right. I measured and documented everything: The number of folds, the humidity in the room ...

Then I discovered Jim Lahey's no-knead bread recipe, which gave me virtually the same results, for a grand total of 5 minutes of active work.

Isn't it just blackwater, or whatever it's been renamed as?

I learned to bake when I lived in London, because the average bread was simply awful. It's surprisingly easy to get something as good at home, as long as you have a decent dutch oven.

It really makes me wonder what else is going on everywhere else, because it really comes down to just flour, water, salt, and yeast.

I understand the rationale. The app you granted full disk access three months ago might have significantly changed. You can't reset the permissions for a given app after every update, as you might end up prompting the user three times per week.

Do they even have the moat to pull the same sort of playbook with Miro? We used to use it for remote retros and whiteboarding, we ended up not renewing because we were already paying for Lucid and there was little added value.

I'm curious to know if it was ever as embedded as, say, Jira is, in some companies.

We should remove the red tape and let Joe down the street operate, that will surely fix everything.

It has to be the regulation, not the parasitic layer of health insurance racket in the middle.

Is this such a big news that it'd warrant texting people over?

It looks beautiful, but it’s definitely not something I’d buy in its first generation. I'd really want to wait and see how it fares after a year of real life usage.

The incumbents can just swallow the competition and consolidate further. The end state of crony capitalism is always a monopoly.

In a market with perfect competition, perhaps. Healthcare is far closer to a monopoly. Since people can't decide not to be sick, it means you can pocket the cost-saving.

If, and that's a huge if, the savings are actually passed on to the customers rather than the capital owners.

About 90% of nurses are women.

Who is the AI doing the job for if no one is able to afford anything?

"You have drawn a boy, born in the Paris Basin in 1970 CE."

Of all human history, it had to pick something off by 20 years and 200km.

Software engineering has been a thing for decades and you'd still be hard pressed to find two engineers agreeing on what constitutes "good code". It's not a serious discipline, we're closer to bootleggers brewing liquor in a bathtub than we are from anything remotely close to engineers.

Why would they suffer? They showcased that they were big enough to disrupt the global economy. Why _wouldn't_ you invest in something so big and powerful?

This is the same as when junkies specifically seek batches of drugs on which others overdosed.
