If I drag/drop and change the order, it gets reset if I add another item to the playlist (this was as of yesterday, don't know if they fixed it in today's release) Haven't checked today. Glad they put OPML back Edit: Jus

Currently paying for Overcast, but the recent changes (2-3 months ago?) are just annoying. They removed the ability to arrange items in a playlist (it has to be by date now), OPML export is gone, can't get to a podcast from an episode

Do you think Astro would be good for a site with tons of data (graphs, tables etc)? Can it be used with db, user logins?

This. Until a clear, precise answer to this question is available, it is unreasonable to expect individuals to take risks and seed. It is one thing if an organization like IA gets in trouble with the law. They have money, lawyers, name reco

Some woman’s cat was hiding in her basement. She automatically assumed her Haitian neighbors stole her cat and made some comment about it, which landed on Facebook, which got morphed into “immigrants eating pets” story, JD Vance picked it u

It is possible your doctor doesn’t fully understand concerns here. Or maybe he does and doesn’t give a shit. If it is the first case, maybe there is some hope - we can try and educate them doctors. I don’t know how to accomplish this, but w

The bigger problem is that we as a species get used to subpar things quickly. My dad's bicycle some 35 years ago was built like a tank. That thing never broke down and took enormous amounts of abuse and still kept going and going. Same

There were news reports that Russia spent less than a million dollars on a massive propaganda campaign targeting U.S elections and the American population in general. Do you think it would be possible before internet, before AI? Bad actors,

I was listening to an interview few months ago (forgot the name). He is a prolific reader/writer and has a huge following. He mentioned that he only reads books that are at least 50 years old, so pre 70s. That sounds like a good idea

There is no logical reason to park our collective asses in office, for digital work. From employer's perspective, it is just to micro manage people, keep commercial real estate prices high and plain old "I am the boss, so I can

While greed, short term vision etc are universal, Asia is not (yet) as bad. Take banks for example, say Singapore. How many Singaporean banks have failed vs American? Asian banks are way more conservative (relatively at least) and don'

What can one do in these massive, employee abusing, law dodging, polluting piles of monstrosities that can’t be done on land? Drink, party, fight (Google cruise ship fights for some colorful stories)…? makes zero sense. If one is going to w

Why do you think they will leave? They will make noise, complain but if the choice is between following rules or give up profits, they will fall in line. Money trumps everything else. They will however keep lobbying, support candidates favo

Why is this absurd? Companies bend over backwards to do business in countries like China, put up with all kinds of nonsensical local laws and rules. This privacy requirement at least makes sense, it is the local government’s responsibility

One doesn't behave bad to someone stronger than them (or wealthier, or in a powerful position etc) because they know there will be consequences. One doesn't pick a fight in a bar or supermarket because they know there will be cons

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. One more question if it is okay - Is there a structured course that you can recommend, from a university? I understand that things are moving fast, but it would be nice to hear from someone who has

Hot topic of discussion where? Amongst developers, right? How many non-developer Apple users are aware of Apple’s shenanigans? I doubt not many. Even if the end users are aware and accept it, that doesn’t make Apple right. We as a society a

There is a big effort from people like Reid Hoffman to get rid of Lina Khan. Hopefully it fails. Yeah, I suppose just shutting them down is a better idea. In that case, we also need to make sure they don’t pop up with a different name and d

I don’t want their $3 or even $3000, if I am eligible for payout. Instead, I’d like to force this company (and others similarly) to put all kinds of precautions in place. Also warn them that the next breach would result in severe penalties,

Not to get too political, but it is nice to see people who have interests/expertise in topics other than law and business. He seems like a great VP candidate

This is true for most things in life. People spend days and weeks on the logo, that the actual product doesn’t get off the ground. People spend so much time planning the perfect vacation, that it never happens. And so on. Truth is, for most

I had a boss who was a very good programmer and a writer. He used to spend hours just writing the table of contents, hours. Once he is satisfied, he will finish writing the actual text very, very fast. While he would write and rewrite ToC m
