Not that hard. Not perfect either (hs are difficult to pronounce) but still helpful. It could easily become a game for children to talk to each other in this "secret language".
> Half an acre that you have to care about, mind you.
I have an acre and maintaining it's quite a nice alternative to computers and screen based entertainment. It's just another form of exercise basically.
You think it a joke! Those unwilling to deny the exogenous of Power will note how many mystical occult references are wholly explained by our minds entangled.
Our minds may be entangled and a rare few “get stuck” in the minds of others, causing these demonic spectacles.
It still happens to this day, though modern thought control is far more elaborate and invasive than such “accidents”.
There's some truth to this take but it's not nearly as bad as most people think.
Many people look at the economy and see that it is bad and so they think the economists must be bad at their job, but in many cases people in power simply don't listen to economists.
The best example of this in my opinion is land value tax.
Milton Friedman is an Nobel prize winner on the libertarian side who called lvt the best tax policy. Joseph Stieglitz is a Nobel prize winner who is a socialist who also advocated for lvt. A recent survey showed something like 83% of economists saying that lvt would significantly increase growth.
And yet zero countries have implemented an lvt great that is much higher than inflation.
Good and smart policies do not need to be accepted by economists to be implemented. They need to be accepted by those in power and by the general population.
In my opinion, if anything we should have way more economists on the news talking about the economy than the political pundits that you typically see - not the other way around!
Man this hits home. I'm a reasonably sized human, but there are almost no devices on the market outside of iPhones where I can reach from bottom right to upper left with 1 hand without shifting the phone around in my hand. I hate it.
I'd be willing to take less battery life to get something like this, but nearly everything that's anywhere close either has no NFC (which means mobile payments are out the door) or doesn't have 5G or just has such an awful camera/processor as to be basically unusable for many every-day tasks.
I am 6ft tall and feel like my hands are above average in size. I have a regular iPhone 16 pro. I still don’t understand how people use bigger devices.
Do they like using two hands? I can’t single hand a phone any larger without having to shift it in my hand.
I don’t want to use two hands on my phone outside of typing.
Just a heads up, when I contacted Google Support about this, they insinuated that this is something slowly being rolled out across Pixel 5 devices, so while it may work now, it could stop at any moment.
The issue I received when tapping to pay was "Your phone doesn't meet software standards". It did mention it can be due to rooting (my phone wasn't rooted) or "uncertified software" (of which I didn't have any).
I'm sure you might already do so, but I'd advise not to rely on the phone to pay going forward. For me, I was caught off guard in a shop without any other payment method. There was no warning or notification about the change until I tapped to pay at the card terminal.
I tried a few more times afterwards with another payment method as backup, and it just ceased working. I never received an email, notification or warning in the app itself.
So you’re fine with your data being slurped. Migrating away doesn’t take that much effort. Redirecting some dns records and setting a forward-all rule in the old email address. What am I missing?
Have you ever stopped and thought maybe there really is no Epstein client list and maybe he really did commit suicide?
Maybe the Epstein client list is the propaganda?
Why would Epstein keep a "client" list? What criminal goes out of their way to document their crimes? What service was he even offering? I don't think even the local drug dealer is stupid enough to keep a written list of clients.
If some shady forces killed Epstein in prison why didn't they just kill him before he got to prison? The shady forces can get to him in federal prison but don't know he is being investigated to go back to prison? Why didn't Ghislaine Maxwell die in a mysterious car accident?
Why do people care about a client list that makes no sense and not all this supposed video evidence?
Your post just shows you spend too much time on social media reading bullshit that you think is real and it is not.
Exactly. Stated and revealed preferences are sometimes very different. Interestingly, preferences can also change slowly over time. For example, the Dell Streak in 2010 had a 5 inch screen size, which was considered ridiculously large at the time (people called it a "phablet"), and it didn't catch on initially. But years later, average phones did actually reach and even exceed that size. Nowadays the Dell seems relatively small.
Even if was a small % of the Apple lineup, the iPhone mini was one the best selling smartphones all brands considered. I for one switched to iPhone in 2020 specifically because there wasn't a single current-gen small form-factor Android phone anymore. I have a few friend that also made the switch with the 12 / 13 Mini for that reason.
The real reason the iPhone mini failed is not related to screen size, it's because its segment was canibalized by the cheaper alternative, the SE. The 2020 and 2022 sold like hot breads, wherehas their screen was almost an inch smaller than the iPhone mini. This is the proof that there a significant market for people who don't care about size and would gladly take the smallest option at a $100 discount from the regular one.
Its apparently a false dichotomy of "Allow Gemini access to your data" or "Disable display of email events in calendar". Although maybe under the hood they were always using ML and the new ML algorithm is an LLM...
It's an oversimplification to be sure, but based on solid science. There's no hard line at 25, but there are enormous changes between 16ish and 25ish. The author you cited agrees, on the same site, in a different article:
> A growing body of research strongly suggests that brain development continues well into people’s 20s and beyond. ... There is strong scientific consensus that people’s decision-making abilities can evolve between their early and late 20s
> To paraphrase Norvig's Latency numbers a programmer should know, if we imagine a computer that executes 1 CPU instruction every second, it would take it _days_ to read from RAM.
I think the author probably misread the numbers. If CPU executed 1 instruction every second, it would take just 1—2 minutes to read from uncached RAM, no need to be overly dramatic.
Overall, this reads to me like a very young programmer trying to convince themselves to learn Rust because he heard it's cool, not an objective evaluation. And I'm totally on board with that, whatever convinces you, just learn new things!
Didn't they take their array programming from Fortran? The Fortran, numpy and matlab array syntaxes are basically identical, down to broadcasting and reduction rules.
Economics can be practised as a science or not, depending on the individual. Austrian economics, for example, is more of a religion while mainstream economics is more scientific.
Economics is a science of human behaviour, which is not exact. Economic models are like weather models. They cannot be exact because what they are modelling (weather, human behaviour) is incredibly complicated with millions of parameters.
Science is about observing something, forming a hypothesis about why it is that way, and then testing the hypothesis to determine whether it is correct.
Many Economics researchers do all of the above, so they are scientists.
I cannot disagree more, having hand waved away economics for 20 years, actually learning it has totally transformed my world view into a dramatically clearer and far more functional one.
The pandemic era fiscal and monetary policy was pretty much a 5x speed (because of the scale of everything) display of economics at work, and understanding all the levers while they were pulled made it clear that no, economics is not bullshit, people just really don't like what economics has to say.
It might be easier to collaborate with an established producer of a specific vehicle and create a partially custom vehicle from the same "car platform".
Substantiality is not limited by length. Depth and emphasis can weigh as substance, as is the case here. Though
, ironically, ephemeral judgements regarding a post's substantially are themselves lacking in substance. Perhaps by discussing why a post lacks substance, a misplaced reprimand itself can gain substance. As for the originally critiqued post, adding additional emphasis through the unmitigatate plurality of exclamation points would paradoxically negate the potential for substantiality.
I don't think every regression in civil liberties is something that the society collectively accepted to tolerate. I'd say it's more often than not shoved down people's throats by lobbyists. It's just capitalism functioning as it's intended.
Sure, you need traders to move the markets, and if that's good enough for Scott Bessent, good for him.
