You’re making a joke, right?

This seems like the most probable reason of any I’ve read so far.

Yeah but that’s been the case since search existed. It seems unlikely that somehow now that’s become an urgent problem or requiring login will fix anything.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, if anything it makes their decision even more ridiculous, but GitHub has completely saturated the market. Other than pissing people off what do they really benefit from this?

I had a professor freshman year of college who offered the question “How many times can you split the distance between me and you in half?”. Ultimately I arrived at the conclusion infinity which forever more made the general idea of calculus stick.

I think the shame is more around calling it a “MacBook PRO” and getting people to pay premium for something that is clearly not to their own high standards and carefully curated image for the “PRO” line of a product.

It’s like in the 90s when the base ford mustang became a poorly made vehicle with little power that looked like a sports car but really they selling out and taking advantage of their customers.

I would have more respect for Apple if they just charged $200 more for the base and put 16GB of ram it instead passing off machines with insufficient amount of ram as a premium model of their devices.

I’m in your boat. I’m tempted to buy a cyber truck and could probably accumulate the capital when I come up on the reservation list next year but the idea that I’m being tracked and I don’t “own” all the features in the car is really off putting to me.

The ford lighting generally seems to be better in this regard but offer me the base model with longer range. I’m a big diy guy and I’m going to end up beating up a lot and I just want minimal features.

For now I now I’ll stick with my 1996 K1500 6.5L diesel with 300k miles. It will probably run until I’m dead if I keep up basic maintenance.

I wouldn’t pay it but probably one of X’s better business moves since musk takeover. A dollar is not a deal breaker for most and once you have payment info stored it’s pretty easy to get them to pay for something else.

Do bottling water actually consume a significant amount water vs like an average size farm?

I personally thing bottled water is generally pretty unnecessary and really wasteful to transport but I can’t help think the actual amount of water given people are drinking it not watering plants or showering with it is relatively small?

It is cheaper to make bulbs that can’t handle voltage fluctuations but still yeah agreed led bulbs can last a very long time if they’re designed to.

I have the complete opposite experience. Ramda is so much more consistent than lodash/fp.

I think your issue has more to due with functional programming in general than rambda vs lodash. It’s not for everyone but personally I really enjoy it.

Acknowledging these LLMs are not human, but isn’t this kinda what humans do? Take in lots of different examples and produce something similar but distinctly different and not paying royalties or being considered plagiarism.

> No person shall use photographic or other electronic monitoring or recording devices, cameras, or cellular telephones while such person is in a polling place while voting is taking place; provided, however, that a poll manager, in his or her discretion, may allow the use of photographic devices in the polling place under such conditions and limitations as the election superintendent finds appropriate, and provided, further, that no photography shall be allowed of a ballot or the face of a voting machine or DRE unit or electronic ballot marker while an elector is voting such ballot or machine or DRE unit or using such electronic ballot marker, and no photography shall be allowed of an electors list, electronic electors list, or the use of an electors list or electronic electors list. This subsection shall not prohibit the use of photographic or other electronic monitoring or recording devices, cameras, or cellular telephones by poll officials for official purposes

Yeah that’s pretty strict. It seems at least remotely plausible now. But still, I doubt the content of the QR code data is encrypted (probably cryptographically signed) especially given the vote is already written in plain text. And if votes of any significant percentage could make a difference were being switched someone would have a video (assuming the QR code data contains the chosen vote in plane text)

Again, there is definitely room for improvement but I don’t believe the data in the QR code encrypted, and it only takes one person to record them selves voting and a different vote getting printed on that piece of paper for this to become a big deal. It just seems very unlikely that even a small percentage of the votes getting changes would go completely unnoticed.

It prints the selected votes on a piece of paper that can be viewed by person who entered the vote and counted by hand (which was done in 2020)

No system is 100% secure and while Georgia in particular seems to have some improvements they should be making, it’s important to be rational about implications the existence given vulnerabilities have on accuracy of an actual election.

I have the non-wifi version, can confirm good printer. You easily find linux support for it too.

> occurs with the same rarity among clergy as it does in the general population.

While this is true, the issue surrounding the Catholic Church is how the have historically handled it. Often it was covered up, the priest moved to a different parish, and it would just happen again and again with the same offenders. So yes the number offending clergy is roughly the same as the general population but failing to prevent known offenders from inflicting life long damage on innocent children is despicable.

Do u have a link to the experiments? I couldn’t find them in the article

> But studies suggest that fake sugars can also have unexpected effects on your gut and metabolic health and even promote food cravings and insulin resistance, a precursor to Type 2 diabetes.

I can’t help but think (other than being annoyed the studies aren’t linked right there) that it’s more of a correlation than causation that the artificial sweeteners are changing gut bacteria . Presumably you gut is adapt to high sugar intake, then all the sudden you’re not getting high sugar intake? Wouldn’t you expect these changes regardless of the artificial sweetener and wouldn’t the short term changes be basically a withdrawal from high amounts of table sugar which would be hard on the body in the short term but better off in the long term?

This is actually what I do every time. I thought it was standard practice.

The author of the post fails to articulate how we strike a healthy balance and instead comes up with contrived examples to prove points that only really apply to contrived examples.

I think OPs point is people tendency to use LEDs in way that is bad for melatonin production is not the same as LEDs being inherently bad for melatonin production as the title suggests.

Many LEDs have fine color spectrum and brightness setting and people should take those capabilities into mind when purchasing, especially for lights they will be using in the evening. Personally I’ve invested in hue lights and have them configured to dim and redshift as bedtime approaches.

You’re describing Oregon.

It’s weird ECC memory has become less and less common.

The article talks specifically about the hoops Microsoft makes you jump through to install an alternative browser.

I worked with it extensively on a for my last position capturing electrical metering data and derivative computations in a fault tolerant distributed system. It’s really great for something with lots of small nodes with intermittent connectivity.

Yes, ipfs is surprisingly solid. Give it a go!

Protocol labs has continually turned out solid work. Nothing wrong with a publicity stunt to get filecoin some attention.

That’s pretty spot on.

The content is the address, no central issuer of the tracker file needed just the CID content ID. Also since the CID is a hash of the data it can be used to validate the data :wink:
