This is BS. People go to suburbs because they want a nice house, not because they are trying to run away from race. I grew up in a mix-race suburb. I loved my houses and my friends houses. We had great times on our cul-de-sac since it didn't allow through traffic it was safe to play in the street. We loved our backyard pool. We loved our garage that had a radial saw and a large tool desk. We loved our large 30x20ft family room where we had large slumber parties and large family parties. It requires zero racism to want a house in the suburbs.

This will go over like a lead brick in car infested suburbia.

I love a carless life in Berlin, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Seoul, but a carless life in Santa Clarita California? Carless like in Silicon Valley? Not gonna happen. LA, maybe a few can get buy without a car but they'd need to add Tokyo level of trains (40+ lines with express trains) before I could function without a car in a city like LA. I have friends I can generally see in 40-60 minutes that with current public transportation would take 3hrs one way.

I'm not saying we shouldn't start adding the public transportation back to LA. Of course we should. But it will be 100 years before it's anywhere close to where it needs to be for people to give up their cars.

And for suburbia, you'd have to get everyone to sell their 2-3 car tract houses so you can rebuild the cities to be more dense, and get all the stores to give up their parking lots, It's just not going to happen. :(

I don't do this most of the time. It keep a diary. I keep records of all kinds of stuff.

What is the limit here?

If I own a store and you walk into my store am I required to forget that you came into my store?

Monday:

Bill: "Hey Jane (store owner), do you have any X45 hammers?"

Jane: "Sorry Bill, I'm out but might have some tomorrow"

Tuesday:

Bill "Did hammer come in I mentioned yesterday?"

Jane: "What hammer? Sorry I'm not allowed to remember anything about people in my shop because that would be spying so whatever you said to me yesterday has been deleted from my memory"

PS: I hate spying too. I'm just not sure how to design a law to prevent it that doesn't have unintended consequences.

wat? targeting markets has been a thing forever. Rim ads in car magazines. Jewelery ads in fashion magazines. I suspect there are different ads in the sports section of a newspaper vs the business section, vs the lifestyle section.

I suspect any ads on grinder are different from ads on tinder as well.

I think is not zero it it's possible interpretation as accusatory

I'm not sure how to ask that won't in some way feel like either a demand for action or and accusation of abandonment.

Maybe just look at the commit history. If nothing has been committed in 6-12 months and if the code is not great as is then fork or move on.

I've written a couple of libs I consider done. They are still super useful but there's nothing I want to add for 2-3 yrs now. They are not abandoned

Another prominent example KHTML forked to WebKit forked again to Blink.

I understand both points of view. Ideally if you decide to fork it and you're willing to take it up then leave a note in the issues on the original mentioning the fork. The original might decide to point to your fork or at least others can go look if your fork looks like a better fit for their needs.

is there some unspoken assumption here? Myself and my friends all have videos of our kids dancing at many ages. None of it is considered csam

That's true. Just like people by Gucci, LV, D&G etc. I was in a Prada store once and they were selling an acrylic keychain for $800. There was nothing making the chain better than any other chain except you could show off your Prada chain and I guess hope other people would know you had money to blow.

Plenty of people are pushing ineffective altruism

Apple does it in the app store. At least for me, search for any app by name, the top 1 or 2 results is never the app who's name I typed in exactly.

Just searched for "Netflix". First result is some app called "Chewy" (with [ad]) next to it. Search for "GitHub". First result is some app called "ServerCat". Search for "Grand Theft Auto". First result is some app call "One State RP". Search for "23andMe". First result is for "BodyFast: ..."

Great idea! It takes a surprising amount of artist know how to illustrate actions using stick figures but probably less so with something like this

Or maybe just pose yourself and upload a picture, trace it?

> It's probably a good thing if computers did a better job of getting out of the way, and stop so loudly disrupting human interactions.

And that is not this. Talking out loud every few moments with verbal commands do a device is way more annoying that someone looking at and typing on a phone

That said, I agree with you at a glance it's neat. I think in reality though it's a poor idea given how often people need to give a verbal command.

hg was not superior to git at v1. I have no idea if it is now. hg was horrible at git style branches wich are arguably a killer feature of git. I've heard they were grafted in to hg but you can go look up old tutorials on the net from say 2008 and see they were clearly not the norm for hg

---

looked it up, the feature is called "bookmarks" and was added in 2010. And even after added, all tbe tutorials ignored them. no idea if they are the recommended workflow now but if not then you probably don't get why git is superior to hg

non ad funded social networks will still have the issue that "influencers" want followers and clickbait hate topics will get them more.

Japan has "social apartments"

https://www.social-apartment.com/

The positive version: you have a private room but have shared areas for socializing

The negative version: you pay more than you would for a private apartment

If you watch American movies from the 1940s it seems like it was common for people to live in houses and rent a room but all share meals and the living room. They seemed to be called boarding houses. AFAIK they mostly don't exist anymore?

I know plenty of "gamers" who's #1 obsession is how good the game looks to them, not how well it plays. They generally dislike games with non-photoreaslistic rendering
