I took quantum physics with Prof. Kroemer. At the beginning it was standing room only with about 30 students. By the time finals came around there were six of us. Brutal. I've got some stories about that guy. RIP.

I don't quite understand the singling out of women. The men have been doing this too[0]. And Americans are committing crimes just so they can go to prison and get healthcare.

This may seem silly but step 0 of every alternative ROM install is always what? "Backup your phone." But they never tell the user how. If you're really going to target "non-tech savvy folk" you can't just leave important steps at "you figure it out."

Favorite part and best part. When the large majority of advertisers block advertisements there's really no room to complain when anyone else does the same.

You forgot "give customer a meaningful discount for doing the labor of checkout."

"[RSS is] an easy way for readers to quickly discover released and updated articles." This is true. And there's nothing in that statement about how frequently a site updates.

Telling sites to reduce the number of entries in a feed and telling users to decrease the refresh frequency is a bad idea for sites that update frequently. Very few self-hosted rss readers allow for per feed refresh rates (freshrss is the only one I've found that does I think) so to capture everything on sites that update frequently but have tiny feed sizes I have to run separate cronjobs. That's after asking them to increase the feed size.

Musk has repeatedly claimed he allows what the law allows. Well, court orders are legally binding which is why people can be found in contempt of court and jailed for violating them. That's the case in the US and I assume in Brasil as well otherwise orders would be meaningless. People like Musk believe they can pick and choose what laws and rules apply to them.

They also don't set wages, prices in stores or prices at the pump yet they keep acting as if they do and people keep voting as if they do.

Tipping (along with often poor service and exorbitant prices) is a big reason why I rarely eat out unless it's on someone else's dime. Cheaper, more educational and more rewarding to learn to prepare something at home.

I don't see how more people don't understand self-checkout to be the uncompensated labor that it is. You're not getting paid, you're not getting any discount (certainly nothing meaningful). It's jobs lost for your local community and pure profit filling the pockets of distant fat cats.

> longer jail for the same crime, higher rates of homelessness, higher rates of suicide, lower educational outcomes, shorter life spans, less friends on average, ...

And outcomes are worse for Black men in almost all categories and have been so for some time. Yet the response to negative outcomes for Black people is to blame "black culture." Yet there's no blaming of white culture. Instead this is a crisis we have to do something about. C.f. crack vs fentanyl epidemics.

> Cost Savings: Our new setup is 50 times cheaper each month. Although we had to invest in hardware initially, the savings will quickly offset this expense within a few months

> Database: Instead of GCP Data Store, we now utilize PostgreSQL

Give some of that money to postgres.

These comments are suspiciously light on anti-cancel culture rants. Wonder why.
