seandoe··on Rammstein Get Restraining Order Blocking Viagogo from Reselling Concert Tickets
Good for them! Online ticket scalping has become such a huge problem. Everyone should use services like cashortrade.org
seandoe··on 'Big Short' investor says white-collar jobs bubble is 'bursting'
No Collar jobs. No collar holler!
seandoe··on Hurricane Ian damages in Southeast estimated at $100B to $120B
This. I'm not sure why it works any other way. If the location is somehow critical to the local/regional/national interest than those entities can subsidize the insurance cost. But the free market should handle the situation. If people want to live somewhere that's fine. If it's too risky to insure, than they are on their own.
seandoe··on Closing a 30 pixel gap between native and web
Me too. Don't forget about right-click + key to resize the window. I have to use a mac for work and so use Easy Move+Resize to get this same functionality.
seandoe··on Tik Tok is a national security threat
This type of comment is popping up everywhere. I think it's a bit naive and simple. I would add selfish, but it might be more than that. If the CCP uses the data against your government and its people in order to pursue its interests, isn't it possible that your well-being could suffer? Even if that is not the direct intention? Further, isn't it possible that, while your government indeed has more power over you, a side effect of your government successfully satisfying their interests could be an improvement in your well being? How can you be so sure the biggest threat is your government? I'm not so sure one way or the other, I'm just curious how you are. There is evidence of foreign governments meddling with US civilian affairs. It seems like this is exactly the attitude they would try to cultivate.
seandoe··on Health insurers just published close to a trillion hospital prices
Not sure why you're getting down voted so bad. It's a valid point. I recognize that there is waste and inefficiency in the system, but I can guarantee that any effort to "streamline" or cut "waste" will inevitably hurt everyday people... Even outside of job cuts.
seandoe··on Why do some humans love chili peppers?
Haa, before I clicked I was thinking of saying something similar. New single is hot.
seandoe··on Research shows circadian clock influences metabolism, cell and tumor growth
Interesting to hear. I've been considering seeking out medication for sleeping. Do you use a benzo?
seandoe··on The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger
They might be factoring in the mpge of electric vehicles.
seandoe··on Let websites framebust out of native apps
I disagree. If it's a link to the web, I want my main, default browser everytime. No exceptions. The context switching is never an issue for me. App browsers screw up magic links too. I wish they'd go away.
seandoe··on Senate passes bipartisan bill to subsidize U.S.-made semiconductor chips
It was in direct response to the comment. What are you talking about?
seandoe··on We're going to need a lot of solar panels
I appreciate this all-too-rare take. It concerns me that it's so popular to be negative. I believe a lot more good can come about with a positive attitude -- honest and critical at times, yes, but at some point you just gotta put your boots on and get to work.
seandoe··on The Design of Everyday Things – Book Summary and Notes
There's a difference between personal/hand-made/imperfect and awkward/inefficient/poor design.
seandoe··on Functional programming jargon in plain English
I think it's cool that it's a repo. Now other people can submit pull requests and improve it. As for the files, bah whatever. Go find a squirrel to bark at.
seandoe··on Association between ADHD medication and depression: A 10-year follow-up
Dude, you have to respond to these comments. I'm dying to know. That is the most dystopian thing I've heard of coming from the land of "socialized medicine is the panacea".
seandoe··on Murder-Suicides by Pilots Are Vexing Airlines as Deaths Mount
Is this an effort to reduce airline ticket demand?
seandoe··on Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs?
Hear hear! Spotify's UI/ux choices have frustrated me more and more over the years. Do any of their employees use their clients? Why is artist not a column that I can sort. Why such terrible uses of space? What happened to the social features? I'm not on any social platforms but it'd be fun to easily see, share, comment on friends' playlists.
seandoe··on Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs?
We should hang out some time.
seandoe··on NY Senate Bill S5474 proposing a universal single payer health plan for NYers
Interesting, from where do you hail?
seandoe··on U.S. takes unprecedented steps to replenish Colorado River's Lake Powell
This. I live in Utah and it's the same story.
seandoe··on Bits of advice I wish I had known
willfully hurt? Come now. Sometimes kids are completely irrational, and like adults, need punishment. They aren't always in a state where they can absorb an "explaining". Sometimes they need to see that there are negative consequences of certain actions, especially when lines have been drawn and their actions cross those lines.
seandoe··on Canada bans foreign home buyers for two years
That doesn't make sense. If you really bid what it was worth to you, why were you disappointed that the house went for more because you would have paid it (and more)?
seandoe··on Moskva cruiser sank while being towed in a storm – Russian Defense Ministry
Oh sinking? That's not a bug
seandoe··on An unsolved math problem on the Colorado River
Utah got rid of the "use it or lose it" water rights policy. This is huge. https://westernresourceadvocates.org/blog/watch-these-three-...
seandoe··on Apple launches the first driver’s license and state ID in Wallet with Arizona
No thanks.
seandoe··on Amazon intentionally made it hard to cancel Prime subscription in secret project
In other news, water is wet.
seandoe··on Ukraine warns Chernobyl nuclear plant suffered power outage
I'm sure the approval polling is 100% legit.
seandoe··on Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Feb 26, 2022
Ukraine's warming to the ways of the west makes Russia nervous. Access to the black sea is a strategic issue. Reservoirs in Crimea drying up because their source is in Ukraine proper. I don't defend any of this aggression in the least, but if mexico and Canada started warming up to China, you could imagine how the US would react. Once again, I don't support or defend Russia in this situation, but at the same time I don't think it's the work of a madman.
seandoe··on Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020)
Does there need to be a loaded script with a certain fingerprint? What if they are just passing data from the browser to some random endpoint? I'm not sure, just thoughts.
seandoe··on Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020)
The big change they are suggesting is that the gtm code is no longer accessed via a predictable Google domain, rather it is requested through a subdomain of the parent site.
