20/20 (once) - I found that by looking at the edge between the border and color sample that I could usually tell pretty quickly.

Another place where visual diffs would be indispensable is file-system organization. Each node in a file tree contains another graphable data structure: permissions! Especially on network shares where user groups are more common.

As long as there's some structured record of changes made to permissions and structure, those can be visualized.

I think time variability increases with the level of complexity. In this context I see the idea of task complexity being related to uncertainty in the time estimate. This makes it fit nicely with the Fibonacci sequence.

What springs to mind is the use of Mastodon handles for contributing trail info and discussion of information being contributed.

The only major hang-up is balancing privacy and trustworthiness of the information being contributed.

Perhaps an open solution like this will emerge as people grow tired of profit-driven services like Strava, AllTrails, TrailForks, etc.

Are you advocating for harassment?

1. I wouldn't call that an investment

2. Cooperatives tend to be more resilient in times of crisis:

My reason for asking that question in the first place is that 'investor' isn't a role I associate with a worker-owned enterprise. The workers are the owners are the investors, so the statement reads as invalid to my mind.

It sounds like you're building an empire over there, albeit a tiny one with very large gates.

>Co-ops are of course worse for investors.

What investors?

"Communities of people with disabilities" sounds like a self-identified group whose members share common experiences of dealing with people without disabilities. "Immediately distilling it down to..." is an interesting way to describe someone sharing an example while making a broader point.

Whether something is insulting depends on the particular interaction and how the recipient of the 'help' feels about and perceives the attempt to help.

I've been learning the importance of consent in any intervention. Without consent, my attempts to help a person may be perceived as an act of taking control, overriding the other person's will.

> Both groups have problems, maybe just different ones.

So my problem might be a lack of perspective that is characteristic of privilege, and their problem might be me; sincerely, innocently & naively making their situation worse.

> so we are just... okay with that?

We don't write and pass the laws, and what we're "okay with" doesn't really matter to the decision-makers. Hopefully though, the passage of this bill will catalyze a more widespread discussion about the hypocrisy of the US Government. They can at least be clear about the motivation: "Only _our_ state surveillance apparatus should have such direct access to this psychic imprint of the American people."

What I'm curious about is whether the new ownership will be sufficiently savvy to sniff out any automated data sharing.

Here are my two possible explanations for this:

1) Twitter's system for implementing changes is woefully inadequate, and the person entrusted with making this change is hilariously naive.

2) This was a 200 iq way to get people talking about the topic again.

I'm inclined to believe option 1 is closer to the truth.

Let's refactor it then:

The government simply takes ownership of UHC and they get a new charter to run it like the Postal Service.

That is more consistent with RTFM: read the f-ing manual, which I assume came before RTFA.

I recently switched to Dvorak for iOS, which I was delighted to find as an option.

While I can still function on a full-size QWERTY keyboard on account of using them regularly, I almost never pick up someone else's phone, so my thumbs have forgotten it entirely.

I think the nature of the service lends itself to monopoly. The part that is bad for consumers is the profit/growth requirements that put consumers and producers second. The USPS is a prime example of a non profit-driven operation that leaves customers satisfied and operates self-sufficiently (ignoring the relatively recent laws enacted to kneecap the operation by requiring onerous pension funding requirements).

bugwards compatibility - sounds like a Microsoft thing.

The girth of a power cable roughly scales with capacity though, and there are 3 common pin configurations

- 2 equal size blades

- 2 unequal size blades

- 3 unequal + ground pin

plus a fourth for 20A

- 1 vertical blade, 1 horizontal blade, 1 ground pin

USB-C cables have one form factor, which is what GP is talking about.

The author's minimal effort was facilitated by his access to specialized equipment and time researching the issue.

And as others have mentioned, Apple could have placed a small ferrite on the power supply PCB to achieve the same effect.

If TFA is derived from RTFA (itself I assume derived from RTFM), then "the fucking article" seems the most correct, official, and proper.

> The researchers found a total of 45% of flavored and unflavored supplements tested positive for rancidity, with 32% of flavored supplements testing positive and 13% of unflavored pills.

They added percentages of two separate groups to get the total rate of rancidity. Seems like the overall rate of rancidness is roughly 1/4, not 45%. Makes me think either 1) this was not written by a human or 2) the human who wrote this made a pretty egregious error.

Overall takeaway is: don't buy flavored omega-3 supplements.

>Everything you said is true but it is also true for every other industry. Do you not think companies selling computer RAM for example not have the same motivations? How is that industry much less frustration to deal with than what we are discussing here?

The main difference between RAM sticks and the travel industry is that I don't get to travel around with the electrons in a RAM stick and experience the differences in signal quality and speed, but when traveling, we spend time inhabiting the products we are paying for, and we can feel the differences in quality and speed of our travel experiences.

The subtle differences between RAM sticks have real effects on the performance and longevity of a computer system, but are much harder for a human to perceive, so we don't typically don't focus on them.

>If we can solve the issue with lack of clarity of what is being offered then we can build a mapping of competitor A offering to competitor B offering but this is why I say its easier to send people to Mars.

The bigger idea I was trying to get across is that a competitive market system is not going going to be conducive to solving the problems that arise inside a competitive market system. You already intuitively know this, as you elaborate on, but since this system is as ubiquitous as the very air that we are breathing, it is not so obvious that it could be the root cause of the dysfunction we are talking about.

I have an eerily similar story, and a more general one.

1) I bought lift tickets for a mountain resort, and when I showed up I couldn't find the confirmation email to scan at the self-serve kiosk. I also wasn't able to find my online account portal to see my bookings, so I bought lift tickets on the spot on my phone. As soon as the transaction completed, I was redirected to the account page that I was looking for where I found my original booking. At the end of the weekend, I took up the issue at the ticket window, and got the issue resolved (mostly) to my satisfaction: they refunded me the discounted pre-order amount instead of the full-price I paid; normally they only issue an account credit, this was going above and beyond as they saw it. I believe the reason I didn't get an email the first time was that I used a gmail +tag (name+resort@gmail.com) which their system accepted but didn't know how to use.

Lessons:

i) Stop using +tags with my emails, the utility of these tags (maybe tracing what company my info was leaked from) is far outweighed by the possibility of incidents like this. I don't use them to organize my email, like others do, so this habit has only cost me time, money, and stress so far.

ii) Don't be afraid to ask for help, try to talk to a human next time something like this is happening.

2) Booked a hotel through super.com because they had the lowest price. I didn't read the fine print, so when I showed up to check in, I was informed that I owed a resort fee or something that more than made up the difference. I ended up paying slightly more booking through super.com than I would have going direct.
