I appreciated the read.

Why in the world is this age-based?

What the even what. This is double speak.

The front fell off. It's perfectly normal. They towed it out of the environment.

I didn't realize people actually use the term "Cyber".

full stop.

No one said we were (_more_ concerned).

This is such a specious argument and yet repeated ad nauseam. Please stop. For one, it doesn't make the listening and harvesting of data ok, just because it may already be happening. Also, it's just condescending. You don't think the parent or other people of reasonable intelligence and valid concern haven't thought about that? Then, it also just misses the point anyway -- no, I'm not OK with my cell phone harvesting anything and everything it can get (cadence of my walk, say). Yes, I like having access to maps on the go. These concerns aren't mutually exclusive, and most of us choose not to live like Stallman. We still live in a rich and complex ecosystem of law and precedence, highly dependent on where we are on a given day, what nationality we are, etc. None of that invalidates the quite reasonable expectation to privacy (not to mention that solutions exist such as opt-in, but cavalier people working in tech choose instead the race to the bottom of privacy and chasing cost-per-click).

None of which invalidates these concerns. You just fall into category 1 or 3.

If only software development was actually an Engineering profession....

Not sure why he didn't just give us

The physical dial knob on BMW's is pretty awesome for this.

Skimming just the abstract:

> Consequently, an ocean tide on ancient Venus could have had significant effects on the rotational history of the planet

The implication seems to be that we could answer whether Venus once had water, based on the orbital history of the Earth (over very long time frames), I guess?

It depends on attack surface and what tooling you already have in place. But for example:

Can Emacs.app act as emacsclient?

I use emacs `-nw` within tmux, on iterm2/3 on mac. There are several terrible problems with this setup which I've never bothered to lose a weekend to trying to sort out (don't misunderstand me: I have lost weekends to some of these problems, and I'm running out of spare weekends).

mac pbcopy/paste into emacs does strange and horrible things. Mouse and scroll-wheel integration roughly doesn't work at all. The list is long.

I also use terminal tools a lot (data engineering), so the terminal itself (and hence tmux) is an important part of my toolset. Meaning, I can't abandon the terminal. Nor do I want to -- as others have said, I have RSI issues with touchpads and mouse-clicking. Spectacle on Mac (or any actual tiling window manager on linux desktops) helps with that, but if I never had to touch a mouse/trackball again in my life, that would be awesome.

As others have said, I mostly want to use an integrated editor and get on with my job, rather than go down a half-century old rabbit hole of reading SICP just to tweak some editor defaults. Again, don't misunderstand me: learning LISP changed my life, man. But that's not the same as "can I enable rainbow delimiters for protobuf" (As an aside, Little Schemer is a much gentler intro to LISP, and also awesome.)

And since I know we're a community of people who get distracted by the next shiny problem to solve: please don't focus on trying to fix the list of issues I'm describing. That's not the point (and I have no spare weekends).

Any particular Garmin device you recommend?

You're right. It's all a bit silly.

Thank you.

Or maybe let's talk about the root issue here and not just try to use social media and HN in the place of formal support paths.

The very fact that parent comment is getting downvoted shows what a bubble this (the HN) community is. If you think the average US working-class person is able to save, let alone have investments, I'd love to see some data to back that up.
