You hear this sometimes from cast iron owners that think using some soap will "ruin" the seasoning. It's a myth, you can absolutely use soap. My preferred method is chainmail + coarse salt + small drop of dawn.

I've been cooking exclusively with Le Creuset cast iron pans. I use to care about seasoning and never using soap to clean but I've gotten way more relaxed as of late. I still take care of the pans and "season them" when

They are absolutely keeping it regardless of what I do, I cancelled two years ago (next month it'll be three years) and they send me daily emails about how they will threaten to delete the data when they have no intention of doing so.

But why do I have to log into Dropbox to do this? I haven't logged into the site in 2 years and don't plan on it. I just find it odd that they keep threatening to delete my data but from where I'm standing it looks like they

Something weird I noticed about Dropbox: I cancelled my paid account two years ago. I had 5 terabytes of storage being used (mostly shitty concert vids and food pics). Everyday they email me telling me I’m over my limit. They always “threat

Bobiverse is fun to read but it’s just pulp nerd fantasy. Not exactly great literature that will stand the test of time.

Honestly I think the biggest reason for this is that Claude requires you to login via an email link whereas OpenAI will let you just login with any credentials. This matters if you have a corporate machine and can't access your persona

It really feels like a digital form of colonialism; they come in take everything, completely disregard the rules, ignore intellectual copyright laws (while you still have to obey them), but when you speak out against this suddenly you are a

Only if you define power as the length of a single human lifespan and not something that continues on when you exit our plane of existence. The US has gone through dozens of major political and regional political parties over the last 200 y

We're talking about the US here, please tell me which states are autocratic because at a cursory glance that is a brain dead response. Is Florida an autocratic state because the GOP control all three branches of government? Is Massachu

I took their comment to mean that these people are standing on the massive mountains of progress that have been made, but not acknowledging that a lot of wasted effort was lost learning these things. It's easy to only talk about what s

What happens if the entire team gets churned in 4 years? Or is 4 years the lifespan of a single BU nowadays? I don't see a way to mitigate this unless you care about these things from the onset, but I suppose if you're a monopoly

Not if you go by popular vote, not necessarily at least. There are millions of voters for the other political parties in say California, Texas, New York, Florida; none of these voters will get their voice heard because of how they typically

Small states already don’t matter, with EC only “battleground” states matter; which feels way way worse. We also already have weird dynamics when it comes to policy. More people are likely employed by Wendy’s than all the coal workers, but

You’re right it’s much better for a do-nothing Congress attempt to legislate rather than let experts decide (which is also handled through a democratic process). Much better to maintain the status quo. Wouldn’t want to upset a corpo now wou

I’m not comfortable with the government giving more corporate welfare to some of the richest companies in humanity. Also really not comfortable with giving more welfare to a single individuals company that routinely breaks the law and brags

Then alternatively I suggest you read The Power Broker by Robert Caro and sire a child to lead the change you seek.

Interesting, I always heard it as being referred to as unfalsifiable (which your link mentions). I also don't think this is a good phrase to use in reference to society, politics, or the economy.

If you live in a democracy, you show up. That can mean voting, attending local council meetings, and running for office. Society is shaped by those who just simply show up, so show up if you want a say.

Why not? The EU has some of the best consumer protection laws on the planet and they seem to be the only coalition that are actively legislating against big tech. Why be so dismissive on the idea that the “tech utopia” that Google or Meta w

I don’t understand your last part of the comment. What are you saying copilot should be used for?

You're making it sound as if registering in Panama is some "gotcha" that can't also be easily closed via legislation.

That's fair but there's something to be said of physically being around someone constantly and learning off of each other. It's how I learned vim, it's how I learned about neovim, it's how I learned about the majori

This is the case for the city of Boston. The city derives the vast majority of its budget from commercial property taxes, it's why residential property taxes are so low in the city. Use to work for a company that was literally told by

Benefits can be enshrined in law, you should see what European countries have legislated at the benefit of workers some time.

I disagree, I own Apple hardware. I should be able to easily install and repair it without voiding the warranty. The fact that they make this nearly impossible is what makes their practices despicable. It's why I added they should be l
