When did the TSA make flying safer and cheaper?

Tell me about the tangible, useful things (like groceries, vehicles, living spaces) these assets/positions have bought for Bitcoin owners.

And how is Apple's walled app store any better than the alternative of at&t controlled app store?

I don't know if you've used an iPhone, but do you really think AT&T's walled garden would have anything approaching the quality of the best apps on the App Store?

It will for a bit. The people who build UI frameworks in wasm will either make it a priority or they'll add it later.

It sucks but this is the way we're heading. I'm not sure web devs will even be writing HTML in 5 years beyond adding a canvas tag.

If measles is more common now that anti-vax is more popular, that's a problem worth addressing. We had a known, working solution, so yeah, it does seem like child abuse.

Yes. That is one of the correct ways to frame this problem.

you can easily find books written by MDs arguing that vaccines are unsafe

People aren't reading books with bad info, they're reading Facebook posts and random blogs.

a) is it really accurate that a smart person can't legitimately learn and be sensitive to life experiences from others

There's are a lot of subtleties that lived experience can reveal. Even the smartest person might miss some knock-on effect, etc.

b) why can't they hire people to advise them while still managing the project themselves?

So, you're saying... diversity of thought might be useful?

Just occurred to me, as "heat waves" become the norm for longer periods of time, I'm sure there will be people arguing for the cost-savings of not having to cool the school buildings during the summer.

calling it an "imaginary" position is disingenuous at best

It was never worthy of engagement anyway, so perhaps stop creating strawpeople with it.

Out of curiosity, what neighborhood/borough do you live in? Is it a middle class area?

I don't know about your neighborhood, but in ours, there are no sidewalks and a bunch of teens drive as fast as they possibly can.

Yeah. I've always been obsessed with music, and what I miss about Best Buy circa 1998 is walking into a sea of CDs with $20 and likely leaving with 2 new CDs. I never understood how the mall music stores worked, like Tower Records or Sam Goody, because their CDs were always like $18.

I don't know if all Best Buy locations were like this, but for seemingly every artist that was signed to a label, they had their full discography + singles with amazing b-sides + even imports from Japan (imports cost like $20 though). Just aisle after aisle, so much music to buy and making really hard decisions about what's going to fit in my budget.

It what's I imagine a candy store is to a 6 year old.

The docs say 10.11 for most of the APIs. A few are still (and forever?) iOS only.

One thing that bugs me about this article is that the author chose the largest and most expensive SUVs, not the ones that are actually popular.

The smaller and more popular RAV4, Rogue, CR-V, Escape, etc aren't mentioned here. Comparatively, nobody buys Tahoes and Sequoias.

Well, now it’s IntelliJ’s responsibility to add TouchBar support or remap those keys.

Nonetheless you can just turn the F keys back on.

The southeast US, the region where I grew up, just makes me sad, especially now that I'm living in the northeast.

Looks like some places like Nashville and Atlanta actually had density, but it was wiped out in favor of highways.

One of my biggest dreams is to move back down south (because fuck winters here), but I've gotten so accustomed to having good public transit and the possibility of living (and not struggling) without a car.

The parent is saying Nissan handled segmentation wrong with Infinti.

I'd only refine it to "your caretaker(s) are talking to you, pay attention and answer."

A child also can't understand when their impulse to follow impulse is harmful. Someone should be interrupting with what you call a poor attitude.

We did the same, and my wish-not-really-a-wish-but-maybe-a-wish is that we talked to her less (insert laughing with sweat emoji here).

She was an exceptionally loud baby, just constant stream of (non-crying, mostly happy chatter) noise coming from her mouth and we encouraged it by talking to her like a normal adult, and eventually those sounds turned into syllables, words, then sentences, and she's entering teenhood now, and she literally has not shut up except to sleep.

I'm an extrovert myself so she probably inherited it from me, and maybe our engagement with her from infancy is only partially responsible, but spending an entire day with her is mentally exhausting.

Maybe this is just Soviet Canada silliness, but when our daughter was tiny we were literally checking out 20 books (small, could be read in 15-20 minutes) once a week, and there didn't seem to be any limit at all, that we ran into at least.

We were reading to my daughter when she was an infant and had no idea what was going on, every night, 2 to 3 books a night, and we carried that habit well into 4 or 5 years old, so I have no doubt we passed 1000 books. When she was older she had a few faves that we returned to, but mostly we were constantly getting new material

They’re not suffering much though. All these comparisons to USB and monochrome are ridiculous.

The UX gains from mono -> color vastly outshine slightly smoother fonts on older external monitors.

You’re taking about intent, we’re talking about the very real consequences of inaction. The difference between apathy and neutrality is irrelevant.

You ended your comment before you countered.

But they DON'T USE React Native in the main feeds of either Instagram or Facebook. You know, where users spend all their time and performance matters.

You linked to a post about a bunch of settings/picker screens in Insta. On the FB side, my understanding is that only the Marketplace tab is RN, and maybe the settings & notifications.

Bitcode is not required for iOS apps.

Install? Netflix comes with even the cheapest TVs now. It's hard to buy a new TV without it.

At least in North America, torrenting is no longer mainstream. Netflix is too easy. Adults that were previously torrenters barely use a machine that offers a torrent client anymore, it's mostly iPads and phones for casual use.

Hope they never have to find out what isn't covered by their high quality insurance.
