Just want to say thank you for your comments here. Impressive writing and argumentation.

i don't know enough to comment on the cost of "normal" living, but think about what happens in NYC the moment you get laid off or, even worse, get sick. I think at that point Paris starts becoming a lot more attractive if you're working class..

Comparing between countries with massively different demographics is pointless. The US simply has far more criminality than other wealthy nations.

Yes, that is exactly related to the point OP was trying to make? Where does this crime come from? Maybe instead of useless, if not counter-productive mass incarceration, we should focus on rehabilitation and more importantly improving social injustices that are the causes of the higher crime rate sin the US.

i'm struggling to think of cases where it is safer to drive a car than to be carried by subway or bus

i don't think gp necessarily meant that everything always worked out well and that there never were disagreements. I might be very wrong but what i took away from it was that no matter how much of a plan / how strong a policy you make, you're going to need to make some compromises unless you want to become the sort of parents we had (generalizing greatly).

I'm still a ways off from needing this specific advice (child is 2 ½), but i feel like the that is exactly how i wish i had been treated as a kid. Not what i wanted back then, which was obviously to just do everything i wanted to do, but what, looking back, i believe would've been great. Thank you.

In germany as well, mainly in "Lustiges Taschenbuch" which still exists (new issues being released, still mainly translated from italian i believe).

When my family moved to the US when i was 10, i was shocked that no equivalent existed! And hugely disappointed by the US comic book culture because, although 10 year old me really liked the images, it felt impossible to know what was going on without access to all the volumes.

Reading through the comments, the oddest thing to me is that practically no one talked about the question of comfort. I live and come from northern europe, so like most people and households here we take off our shoes. I guess it's mainly because the weather is shit here half the year but a big part is also that it's just awesome to remove your shoes at home!

I really like ayu (mirage is my favorite as well) and pretty much use the colors everywhere except for syntax highlighting where I just can't switch away from monokai pro.

Same for me. I've been using monokai and, since it came out, monokai pro. Every year or so I look at what new themes are out there and try the popular ones for a bit but nothing hits that sweet spot of aesthetically pleasing and functional so well for me.

Oh man, I really liked that one too. I couldn't find it with a quick search, but iirc they added that scene in one of the later movies (although maybe not with Hammond).

This feels like the sort of article managers will read and then forward to their designers and say "see, this guy gets it" ...

Hi, thanks for putting this online! Can you put the moroccan salted lemons on github as well?

A couple of months ago I asked my wife to put on an a specific album in the car. I was surprised to find out she had just turned on the spotify artist shuffle. She then explained that this is how she listens to all music on spotify: search artist, press the big green button. This is very anecdotal, but since then i have been amazed to find out that a huge chunk of < 30y olds i have asked listen to music exactly this way.

I'm still not sure if those users use spotify this way because the ui is so bad or if the ui is molded towards those users...

"no, that's different. [name] is my friend!"

Don't know where you're getting this from. All sources i could find talk about a twitter account that _could_ belong to the Dayton, OH shooter, on which he _follows_ Antifa members. You gotta admit that's pretty far from the relation of 8chan to the El Paso shooter...

This historical comparison just isn't fair since at no point in human history the possibilities of communication were anywhere close to what they are now.

Haha. I always feel the same way about these types of statements on "the german nature". Such a catch-22.

The author seems to have suffered a bad case of misunderstanding the "Berliner Schnauze"...

I, unfortunately, also read the whole linked opinion piece on german humor from the economist [0] which I almost disliked even more. I might just feel insulted (being German) but please: calling out "Instead of a raised eyebrow, we get full-body signals to laugh now." from the country that gave us laugh-tracks...

i agree, "verletzt" fits quite well. Especially if, like in english, you pair it with "Gefühle".

+1 works on chrome as well

For pure lyrics viewing azlyrics might be better (I don't think so), but Genius is so much more than just raw lyrics. I love the comments / interpretations by other users.

Ah ok, i thought the author meant FaceID in the passage:

I have my WeChat linked with the facial recognition scanner on my iPhone

was not aware that WeChat has its own system. They don't get to use the "special" FaceID sensors/scanners though right? Just the camera?

It knows my biometric information; it knows the very contours of my face.

I was under the impression that Face ID does not leak such information to whatever app is using it?

thank you so much for this comment - what a relief to see this among all of the "idc about statistics, my observations tell me crime is way up" and "crime is only down because of prop 47"...

The article is not talking about IT at Raytheon but "[...] anonymous Windows administrators and point-and-click DBAs and “senior application developers” who munge JSON in C#".

I'd love to see it if you're willing to share

oh come on, "choosing" to not vote is most often choosing to be lazy. If you want to express resistance to the dominant parties you vote independent or invalid but if you care about democracy you still go vote.

the containers are great thanks for sharing, will definitely use those at home! You're right I should have emphasized the feel part of my comment since the dev tools especially are just a matter of preference. However I stand by my point that the profiles are definitely not on par with chrome, since there doesn't seem to be a way to have multiple profiles open at once.

I use Firefox as my "at home" / private browser. However for work i unfortunately feel forced to continue using chrome. First I just really prefer the chrome devtools and i just can't seem top find an equivalent replacement for the "manage people"/multi user built ion function that chrome offers. I really wish Firefox had something similar...
