Thank you. Many say our institutions are underdeveloped but I think it takes a certain maturity of the society to be able to execute projects successfully. It's not perfect, but I think we've come a long way.
I just found out about the controversy behind Super Size Me a few days ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1cw02ni/til_...
How is this obviously made up and devoid of substance l'esprit d'escalier-type story getting upvotes?
Accessibility is easily overlooked but in my opinion provides a much more direct and widespread impact than the mentioned ESG - and often provide value to more people than originally intended - I'm thinking of subtitles in videos that immensely helped me learn English, and public infrastructure adaptations for wheelchair users which also greatly benefit others - like mothers with strollers.
I wish more things were designed with an accessibility-first mindset - enabling edge cases might seem like overkill at first, but it could bring unforseen advantages.
It struck me as comforting to actually be able to post it all online without a major worry, I imagine a person of that age living with close supervision of their family can get fully disconnected of this paranoia and just enjoy actual life, sans administration and connectivity.
Even John Carmack - an ultimate prototype for a nerd - has evolved into a CTO (and from the linked Fridman interview he sounds like a really good one). What is it about tinkerers being put into these positions as a natural progression?
It always seemed to me that people with more of a managerial background would be better managers - is software/system development the only field where masters of their craft ultimately become directors?

The driver is most likely on multiple apps, and is doing rides there while the Uber one stays open so he can accept the cancellation fee when somebody less devoted than the parent commenter gets frustrated enough
Of course you can: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/hide-your-email-address-mai...
This is very consistent with customer service in The Netherlands - nothing is ever the fault of service providers, and you manage to convince them otherwise - you'll get nothing more than "unfortunately (...) not possible"
Where do you draw the line on "neighbor"? Somebody who lives in your general area, or somebody from the other side of the world?
This is new to me and I've been doing this very thing for a while (though not yet with an accident) - do you have a source for this?
Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors-mac/
How?
Client devices, I think - filtering that happens transparently and without an easy way to disable is just asking for problems - I couldn't deal with having to log in to the DNS management console every time when a website notices that ads didn't load and therefore doesn't display content. I don't think we're at a point where privacy can be guaranteed by technology choices - it's all about behavior of end users (like avoiding websites which block content if ads don't load ;-)
Is it possible these privacy/filtering DNS services like NextDNS come without a performance hit? Imagine setting it up and forgetting about it, and discovering later that all your DNS queries happened with a substantial lag - it's like realizing you've been driving with a hand brake on
Neat, this helped me realize I haven't switched away from my provider's default DNS when I moved in, which is something I usually do.
How to choose a DNS server? I usually just go with 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, I used to always test this with Namebench (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namebench) and these always turned out as the fastest - but it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2010 - are there any better tools for this, or any considerations in general? I prefer performance over privacy here, I think privacy should be on a different layer.

Is there a more powerful political position he could have?
Nice! Interesting you were able to agree on licensing with PANTONE®, considering they sell a (very underwhelming) hardware device called CAPSURE™ that has a similar premise: https://www.pantone.com/products/color-control-tools/capsure
Caution: spammy website, and this was back in 2014: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/warren-buffett-to-keep-bett...
Each of these could be hosted on postgresql.org:

Can you link to some of these materials?
Listings looks exactly like what I was looking for - does anybody have experience with a similar tool?
This is really great! Is there a way to paste/import a previously exported graph and preserve edit capabilities?
Is there a text version or an article about this?
I never thought about it, but it would make a lot of sense that since both Android and iOS ask for application permissions, the same would happen for a Bluetooth session.
My guess is that it's not done because receivers were never supposed to handle missing data for something that shows up in device capabilities.
Have you been living under a rock?
I couldn't help but cringe every time the word "used" was used for "user" after the first occurence.
I could actually use something like slacktail -F. Does this exist?
