I do the same, and it's worked out very well for me so far, for many years.

Some feed readers offer a private email address that you can subscribe to newsletters with, and see them alongside your other RSS feeds. My reader of choice (Feedbin) does this. It's one way to at least centralize them all in a place o

I’m really curious about this too, as I have very similar requirements, and also host on Netlify (where ‘server logs’ don’t exist). The possibilities I’ve come up with so far are: - Hosting Fathom using Docker someplace affordably. I’ve tri

The cost of your "regulation free zone" will likely be measured in human lives. Does that seem like an acceptable risk?

Safari 12, High Sierra, 2017 15" MBP scores 104. I'm surprised at these discrepancies.

Anecdata, but same story here. It's been syncing "all" my files for a few years now, and I've had no problems.

I always use Apple Maps first, and sanity check what it gives me. In my area most mapping solutions work, but Google Maps will frequently give me difficult (though not wrong) directions. Such as going down three blocks instead of two, skipp

I'm probably in the extreme minority here, but I actually think iOS lately feels too complex. There are still features it's missing that I'd like, but I often long for the simpler days of earlier iOS versions. Too many diff

Moving to in-house annotators is probably the smart strategy. However, for tasks that are easily done by naive annotators, Prolific.ac might be a great source. I've had good luck getting quality data there, and they enforce a minimum h

And I've experienced no such thing. This argument doesn't make sense from a logical point of view. If all iPhones eventually crawl to a halt because Apple ruins them with software updates, why would that push people to go buy a ne

You're right that Apple services don't integrate as nicely across non-Apple platforms. (Isn't that true of many things?) However, to dismiss it as a marketing scheme is somewhat disingenuous. It may achieve that, but there ar

It's common for people to get stuck below or near the poverty line. It's difficult to save for a house down payment (much less build up the credit to get a loan for the rest) when you're struggling to pay for rent, bills, and

If I'm following your implication, I think this is less of a slippery slope than you think. When one's ideology is organized around killing people based on the color of their skin, it deserves no space in modern society.

This is so disingenuous. We don't blame capitalism when an industry struggles in Europe or the US. And when the financial crisis hit in 2007-2008, capitalism didn't get the blame it deserved.

This struck me as really odd too. This is one thing I think Apple (and others) have gotten really right. Metal doesn't wear down much from regular use or resting your palms on it like plastic or fabric does.

Points taken. And I agree that we should design systems to work with the natural tendencies of humans. But we can do better than (and I'm being reductive here) capitalism's current "eventually everything will optimize out eve

I'm curious, are there stats for this that are adjusted for the number of flights/total time of flights/total number of passenger-hours flown? I found one list[0] but it didn't quite give that: [0]: http://air

Is Southwest often that much cheaper? I usually only fly them because they're direct where others are not, but it usually doesn't save me money.

It's always interesting to me how much experiences vary, and how likely it is that our biases also color our perceptions. Almost always when I get on a Delta flight (admittedly I fly them the most), I'll get a friendly hello and w

I agree 100%. I often hear people talk about how Southwest offers such a great experience. I find the boarding process frustrating (and no more efficient, unfortunately) and the staff no better than my usual airline—either far less friendly

This is an interesting point. Is this because industrial growth happened more quickly? In more concentrated areas?

I'm deeply skeptical that capitalism is a sensible long-term way to run our world. When everything can be made about money, everything is made about money. It doesn't matter how much we've taxed a corporation (especially in t

You should look into learned helplessness. When individuals have tried repeatedly to no avail, it's no wonder they sometimes stop trying.

I tried a slew of recent statements that are objectively false but that a certain politician in the United States has tried to say are true. Google returned fact checks for exactly 0 of the queries I tried.

I think it sometimes gets lost that there's a difference between being harshly critical of another group's opinions, and threatening or harming another group. There are multiple ways in which they're different, and they'

I don't mean to be a curmudgeon, but why put out this kind of privacy-minded plugin for Chrome, one of the browsers I'd probably least trust to respect my privacy?
