They're not banned outright because of the historic backlog of smokers. Tasmania is introducing a birth date cutoff, so younger generations are banned. Other states may follow. Also, they're not just taxed; they can't be ad

I'm surprised they're still around, tbh. I was an early user, but then I ditched them for the plain old mac/iphone notes app when I was asked to pay to keep syncing multiple devices. I wasn't a power user, so notes work

I do celebrate it! I truly do. It shouldn't be illegal. It should be regulated & treated as an awful disgusting vice that people can legally, but can't be advertised, has to have gruesome images on the packaging, and that a

Also, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, you can store your obsidian vault in iCloud and sync between laptop & mobile. The obsidian mobile app is surprisingly good too.

I think the most exciting thing about this is the potential for better diagnosis of ASD, if there is a measurable physiological difference between people with/without ASD. If it's just an MRI or something, you could require all ch

As a none-american, can I ask: Are public schools in the USA bad? Like, I have such a negative view of them as underfunded, understaffed, filled with overworked & burned out staff. just somewhere that education goes to die, really. I

I saw an interesting thing (Found the link: https://twitter.com/alex193a/status/1638275630428049411 ) that said they're going to give Subscribers the ability to hide that they have subscribed. I wonder if che

Interesting because Sweden is running a LOT of Gripens, but the rest are going for F-35. Most of the benefit of this sort of thing outside of actual joint-shooting-at-enemies is buying in bulk at a discount, and price of access to spare par

Fuck Youtube. I fucking hate it. My son can be interested in an animal, so he'll find some youtube videos of the animal to watch. This is ok because the videos he searches and clicks on are fine, usually some sort of documentary. But

Don't worry, I can walk to 2 different beaches in 10 mins, but they're both "crap" and "doggie beaches", so we instead drive 40 minutes to go to a "good beach"...

Why don't the Taiwanese just ignore these tactics until they're clearning violating territory, then fire a few warning shots? Genuinely curious why responding to each incursion into the zone around Taiwan is necessary every time t

Yes it is. Russia is bogged down and unable to make any progress while fighting the poorest country in Europe, who is 1/3rd their size, has been equipped with whatever leftovers NATO was getting rid of anyway, and has conditions on us

I'm so glad to see you say this, because I also do it. I thought I was the only one, but I see it as part of my job responsibilities to be "say my say" in an honest, polite way. Especially towards management, telling people

I've been doing this as a text adventure roguelike. It's surprisingly fun, and responds to unique ideas that normal games would have had to code in.

IANAL but my understanding of the licenses is that the difference between the personal and business license is that the personal license allows them to use any files you open in your IDE as training data, but the business license doesn&#x27

I kind of agree that a % of any population craves violence, but I think that a large part of that is nurture and not nature. I also think America nurtures that aspect of humanity too damn much, and that America needs less violence. You hav

As everyone is saying, demographic models are relatively straightforward. So everyone involved in decision making should have known this. So. Perhaps they don't see it as a bad thing? How sustainable would it be for a population the s

Kinda related, but in Sydney, our grocery store "Woolworths" has been tightening the screws on the self-checkout. It started without even a weight scale. Which was really convenient to use: Take everything out of trolley -> sc

Surely it is a vulnerability? The behaviour everyone likely expects, in twitter & android, is that if you send a video to one person directly, then only that one specific person be able to access it. It's different if the UI makes

It's wild how reasonable their demands are. 7 days unpaid sick leave per year? How is it even a little bit socially acceptable that the companies refused this demand? I don't understand how Americans don't look at the rest

I'm ok with London as a financial center being destroyed if it means the rest of the UK gets more resources & investment, and thus wealth spreads more equally. It's always been wild to me the difference between London & th

I'd argue the "it's a tech stock" vs "It's a car stock" is more an investor sentiment thing, with no hard rules for Tesla. I also think aggregate investor sentiment has treated TSLA as more of a tech compa
