I am not the GP of course, but I kinda enjoyed being tiger-parented here, it's at least entertaining and might even be good for my career.

Super pro comment, should be much higher in the thread. You should write about this in more detail somewhere! And link it here.

Besides the "unrelated legislation" thing, this is just such blatant corporate welfare for the American BigCo's that will buy Tiktok. Microsoft and Google are absolutely salivating at the thought of buying their way into a ma

In "The Right Stuff" Tom Wolfe claimed that pilots talk like this because they are (unconsciously, due to cultural reasons) imitating a famous/high-status fighter pilot from many years ago called Chuck Yeager, who had a West-

Oh man the "sell Tiktok" thing is just pure corporate welfare for whatever US-based BigCo buys Tiktok. Spoiler alert, it will be one of the BigCo's that enthusiastically lobbied for this bill. Regulatory capture at its finest

The blatant vote-buying will continue until the polls improve.

Well in defense of the GP, the "planes can observably fly upside down" point (and its close cousin the "flat wing cross sections can fly too" point) is a good one, this pokes holes in the usual two-dimensional "the

I am in a semi-similar situation and I use an MVNO called Ting. I don't claim it will work in every country, but it works in lots of countries (all that I've tried) to receive 2FA SMS, and costs usually less than 10 bucks a mont

Possibly there are other wolf subspecies that are more aggressive; there are many (anecdotal) stories of non-rabid wolf attacks e.g. in Canada and Alaska, and Wikipedia [0] seems to bear this out. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

The "exploiting edges on your own" thing is a great point and I like it a lot, but there's also something to be said for always trying to have one "tentpole" element in your life which is a reliable bright spot, eve

Most of the fasteners on the airframe are probably not bolts, e.g. rivets on aluminum airframes. But yes it's surely still a lot of bolts.

My daily driver phone is an iPhone 7+, which Wikipedia tells me is from 2016. It works great and people often compliment the pictures from its camera. That's not "8+ years old" but it's in the ballpark :)

Yeah this is great, shocking how reliable the speech-to-text is even for my unconventional accent. Imho UX would be improved by a larger text box, more clear demarcation between "stuff I've said" and "stuff the bot said,

The article claims "...will not impose any penalties on individuals using the app". A commenter elsewhere in this thread links to the law itself, which could presumably disambiguate, though I've not read it.

One underappreciated aspect of this is ban is that anyone who wants Tiktok will just go download it in Wyoming or Idaho etc, as it seems to be merely a ban on downloading the app, and not a ban on Tiktok traffic itself. So the ban will have

The common answer to this question is that the base rate could be set by some free-market themed mechanism, where the price (aka base rate) depends on the balance of supply and demand for loans, instead of the current status quo of centrall
