Hijackings are down because pilots lock the door to the cockpit now


I'm not sharing any revenue with Microsoft for my desktop apps :)


Musk can follow the laws like the rest of us


I've been working this way for years, really nice. What is main complaint?


Slowness, latency, lack of control. The usual suspects?

There’s moments where you try to do a thing that normal on a local PC and it’s impossible on remote. That cognitive dissonance is the worst.


Yep. And shortcut keys and other smaller behaviors like that get weird sometimes.


No one was teaching this. It was a book in a library.


I agree with you but he is arguing in bad faith.

"think of the children" is just the vehicle bigotry. Notice he isn't complaining about straight hook-up apps.

You don't need a need a book to use to these apps and I have strong doubts children are queuing at libraries to read them.


"Notice he isn't complaining about straight hook-up apps."

Homosexuality is just really disgusting to a lot of people who don't want their children exposed to it. If you also have to remove books about Tinder so gays don't feel singled out, you can do that too.


Anecdotally one of the people protesting these books in my area is well known for being a hyper religious wife beater who is no longer allowed see his children.

The rest are a diverse un-hirable band of racists, anti vaxxers and people that fake injuries for money.

I'm not at all conservative but i can see not all conservatives are like this. This is a recent phenomenon.


I went to a gay pride rally last month. I was amazed at how physically attractive and psychologically healthy the attendees were.


yeah, im just adding some additional info for any impressionable future reads who may take his statement at face value :)


I coded and compiled a vb6 program last week on windows 11.


its even more cynical than that. They aren't doing this for the greater good of preserving downtown areas, they are losing their tax breaks: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-02-21/tax-br...


Two things:

1. Set the example and model positive behavior. - Stop using social media. If they see you doom scrolling they are going to doom scroll. - Stop playing mmo or games that require subscriptions or have egregious monetization. -I'm sure you have other skill you can teach them that don't require an internet connection, and if you don't, you can show them how to use the internet for educational purposes instead of watching idiots on social media.

2. Monitor and correct. Your kids are going want the same apps their friends have. Monitor their usage so you can help them get the street smarts. A lot of the apps have privacy settings so you will need to get familiar with them. iOS and android both have tools to limit the amount of time they can use the app for as well.

Unfortunately this takes a lot of time and effort on your part. Try your best and good luck.


The GCP contract expired yesterday


https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt

the thing that lets us communicate like this :)


That's not quite right. If I recall correctly, HTTP predates the HTTP RFC by a few years. I agree that HTTP was more impactful than Bitcoin but I'm not sure about the RFC itself. Maybe.


That's the norm for an RFC. It rarely defines something new; it's a formalization of what's starting to occur to ensure interoperability.

And really, the RFC comment is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. The idea that the bitcoin whitepaper is some holy document, or even anywhere near the "top 100 non-literary" documents created by humans is profoundly stupid.

If someone genuinely believes that, I need to talk with them synchronously to try and figure out where, exactly, it ranks. Obviously ahead of the Rosetta Stone and the Treaty of Versailles, but does it beat out the Magna Carta?
