And the other?

I think crumple zones are unrelated to the roll cage in GP's comment. It's nice to have a crumple zone, right?

Sad reality of it all! Want safety? Buy this engagement platform.

I didn't know Bob personally but I ran into his work all the time online. Even from afar, there was something special and inspirational about crazybob! Didn't expect to wake up to this news today. My sincerest condolences to his family.

> Also, they’ve made it way harder to teach non-techies how to stay safe online in the future by co-opting the term “crypto”.

A big thing that could be talked about more...

> had employed at least 31 children, from 13 to 17 years of age, in hazardous occupations to clean dangerous powered equipment during overnight shifts

What were the best distros then?

Battery chicken farms are known to cause cancer in the State of California?

Thanks, was just wondering. I have a 3 year old and the prospect of raising him in today's tech environment is daunting. I can't imagine I'll have to deal with him having a smartphone, etc. It's terrible.

> Ditto. My old got cellphone in 9th grade, and all usual ones are blocked via pihole at home.

Can’t they get around this by turning off Wi-Fi?

Well, do they say these numbers are statistically significant?

But statistical significance? I like anecdotes as much as the next person, but we’re talking “truth” and stuff here, right? This paper is out to critically inform me, right?

Anything to stoke the “culture war”

> That translates to 1.5 hours less time on the job each workweek, or a 3% reduction in hours.

A search for “statistically significant” yielded no results. So why am I not to assume, especially given the source, that this is more of that “Americans are lazier and less productive” thing that plays out daily in right-leaning media?

> All signs point to this strengthening the value of curation and authenticated sources.

This is what they said about Wikipedia viz. Britannica… alas, it’s a brave new world out there… nowhere to run to nowhere to hide, see that Wiezenbaum post also on the homepage now, as another commenter quotes[0]:

> Writing of the enthusiastic embrace of a fully computerized world, Weizenbaum grumbled, “These people see the technical apparatus underlying Orwell’s 1984 and, like children on seeing the beach, they run for it”

> a point to which Weizenbaum added “I wish it were their private excursion, but they demand that we all come along.”

I don't use Docker locally except for building/testing production containers. I also found them not helpful for development.

That said, I recently discovered that VS Code has a feature called "Dev Containers"[0] that ostensibly makes it easy to develop inside the same Docker container you'll be deploying. I haven't had a chance to check it out, but it seems very cool.

I didn't know people used the term "ion" like this, either.

This happened to me in New York, City in 2015 or so. Fun times. Really nice to understand after all these years what happened!

This story is like the opposite, amazing

I've never had a problem upgrading macOS... I've never had a noteworthy problem with Macs in general.

To be clear, I meant "RIP Twitter" for me personally. I wouldn't bet on Twitter failing. I think he'll make it work one way another.

> The only way it goes under is if they are losing revenue and they actually go bankrupt at some point.

That said,

> According to press reports, Twitter requires more than a billion dollars a year just to maintain its debt service and anything that endangers loan repayment or workforce security could endanger the business.

it won't be easy.

> they send someone to my door to pick up the return

Where is this? I have never seen this as an option.

My wife is still on, I peek from time to time, it seems disorienting with the new blue check semantics. But I guess you get used to that?

I meant for me, I should have been clear.

Twitter was really pretty solid for what it was, had lots of great accounts and even with the stock UI was pretty operable for me. Even advertising on Twitter was pretty fun. You could reach people all over the world at reasonable cost and get feedback on your product and messaging.

Most recently I used Twitter pretty much exclusively for following the war in Ukraine, and it’s been a big loss for me—Telegram is a good source for primary content, Twitter was great as a human-driven social redux. I followed a person in Mariupol, some people in Russia and Belarus, lots of people in Ukraine and Europe. It was a great for keeping up with such a terrible thing.

RIP Twitter.

There is a commercially available digital format/medium that has higher res than CD? Like, there are 96kHz discs being sold out there? And there are labels out there mastering and producing these discs? Sorry this is news to me! I thought 96kHz encodes were upsamples or homemade rips from analog formats.

Wouldn’t something like Grammarly be a better fit for that usecase?

Thanks for sharing. This seems totally fine, if not more than acceptable? How much does this cost?

How was the 5G hotspot though?
