you can disable them in the settings. it gave me icons for brightness, contrast, saturation, and volume. I only care about setting brightness so I disabled the others

I don't mind the length, but I think a lot of things are tedious and worth streamlining. Two that immediately jump to mind: Worker micro is not very fun to me, I don't like the Civ 6 system. At least in Civ 5 they didn't have

I can see how lack of choice could be beneficial, though I've used f.lux for years on default settings

darn this is what i suspected. I've long been a user of f.lux and share the same positive sentiments. I ask because I just got blue light coating on my glasses and they haven't arrived yet. Feel like I might have been scammed a bi

what are the differences between blue light coating on glasses and using something like f.lux?

I mentioned that I believe problems manifest as scale increases. Do you think there is a difference between implementations of democracy in a large country vs a small one? I do. To clarify after some further thought - I think the bureaucrat

Hand-waving things away with your absolutist statement is what truly seems naive. IMO there is far more nuance than you suggest. Democracy seems to work well for some types of problems but not others. What happens to democracies when faced

But why can't they expose these controls independent of the Touch Bar? I actually find it ridiculous as a 2015 MBP owner that there is no easy native way to do this basic thing unless, apparently, you have a Macbook with a Touch Bar

I've actually never seen this opinion before. The amount of background knowledge you need to understand a match LoL is so much higher than something like CS, which I think is definitely the easiest major esport to consume

ok that's my bad - i thought they had an paid enterprise plan. So actually _nobody_ paid. That makes me believe even more strongly that the founders do not owe users anything.

by bllguo 6y ago
I couldn't disagree more. Most users didn't even pay, for goodness' sake.

Yes, they are clearly wrong? Modern Egyptians obviously share more links (ancestry, bloodline, culture, geography, etc.) with ancient Egyptians than you do. Whether they have more in common with modern Brits or their ancestors has nothing t

thank you, pretty impressive. sounds reasonable for them to think they can accomplish the same with search, then

could you source 80%+ users using apple maps? that is simply an unbelievable number. for me, if this follows the trajectory of apple maps, i will never have any reason to consider using apple search

> the only reason Epic is doing this is to make more money. i don't understand the insistence on mentioning this. Why should anyone care? The only meaningful question is whether it is beneficial or not (for you/for devs/fo

Touche on the fans, but that is very arguable as those actions are taken by the arenas. Considering that Morey is Rockets GM to this day, he is definitely not banned. Wojnarowski was suspended by ESPN for a brief period, and for reasons onl

1. Who has been banned? AFAIK the league has actually incurred large monetary losses for their position on China. 2. On the contrary, it is very easy to see why the NBA is cautious. The Chinese care about it and so the NBA does not want to

1. Nobody caused it. Are you seriously implying some lab-grown conspiracy? It could have happened anywhere. 2. I cannot believe you're arguing mishandling of the pandemic => threat to the world when we can all see that Western count

the hysterics when china is involved are amusing. "ideology threatening the world" is just a comical accusation to levy when juxtaposed with the West's track record of imperialism, forcibly spreading "democracy" and

so where are the mountains of dead bodies? where are the macro indicators? what I'm disappointed in is even in the face of evidence that much of the nonsense about fake data and coverups was exaggerated, Westerners will continue to bel

So many comments here to this effect and they're all so puzzling. I'd love to hear exactly what "nonsense" I'm supposedly worried about all the time. Relying solely on Google's store is perfectly usable. I wish

My counterpoint is that we are facing far bigger problems than how charming or "human" a place is to live. Density, economics, and environmental problems should come first, and I doubt a lack of planning would find any sort of opt

we have a general inability to deal with long-term, insidious effects of all kinds. This holds for covid, it holds for global warming, it holds for economics (see US shortsightedness w.r.t the semiconductor industry). It's baked into t

I appreciate your take. I know that UC schools and Caltech are commonly held up examples of "meritocratic" approaches to admissions that skew heavily Asian - but your rebuttal would be that I haven't normalized for socioecono

well I am not nearly expert enough to debate your points about the DOJ's history. What I _can_ say with confidence is that from my POV that this is a hot button issue for my parents, many in their circles, and I imagine asian families

i don't think it's that simple. I honestly think race and ethnicity make a difference. Disclaimer: I'm asian and I would certainly have been affected by discrimination against my race in college admissions. Certainly I'v

Enemies to Taiwan? Sanctions? Your understanding of the Taiwan-China relationship is overly colored by Western perspectives.

I don't see how the title or the concluding statements are justified by this story whatsoever. And publicly blasting a former manager for this when their described behavior doesn't support it at all? I don't know who the auth
