Adding distinct or group by to a query is not some advanced technic comments are suggesting. It does not slow down development one bit, if you expect distinct result you put explicit distinct in the query, it's not a "safety measure for insulin pumps". Scratching my head what I've missed here, please enlighten me.

Stated goal was not necessarily reduced traffic, but additional funding for MTA. The agency that never had an audit and is widely known to be very corrupt. Why on earth not to tie additional funding with an audit requirement? Every New Yorker wonders the same. The fact that Hockul does not mention MTA accountability in any form and shape makes it very hard to take seriously.

Twilio has a concept of "hosting a number", meaning, the original carrier retains the number, only SMS is handled by Twilio. So parent's link will be more accurate for this application.

Colorblind person here. This debunking video is piling on more BS, like oh, colorblind people learned to be amazing at detecting slight color changes! No, we are not. We learned what names are attached to what color, but we see them differently, much poorer (save for blues). Enchroma apparently helps with separation, as parent comment suggests. That being said, the fake dramatic videos are definitely shameful scam, agreed.

I totally get what he says. If your feed no longer feels like it's your feed, more like some bazar on your phone, than why post anything private?

Genuine question, why does he say NYT and WaPo present "center to far right opinion"? C'mon. How NYT is far right?

Likewise. Also who is in their right mind argues politics with 90 year old father?
And not just casually, he wanted to see him impeached! C'mon

The fact that Moscow's subway outperforms NYC in every metric despite rampant corruption and embezzlement (buddy of mine used to be an engineer there) means one thing: MTA is inept beyond any measure and any repair. Some changes are in order to unshackle NYC Subway, so we all can be proud of it

I don't understand infatuation with NYC subway. Moscow subway, while being very old, very deep and in supposed third world country had count down clocks for 25 years, all major carriers LTE for years, very fast wifi on stations and in tunnels for forever, doesn't even require stupid login, just connects, imagine that. The only feeling I have for NYC subway is shame. That pride that some people have is apparently because they never visit anywhere. Oh, and trains are very fast, and come every 3 minutes
