In this situation, the only thing a well-armed citizenry would weaponize is the false narrative that peaceful protesters are actually violent usurpers/anarchists/antifa/{$right-wing-boogieman-here}.

Reminds me of energy brokerages, which are a thing in some US states. Rough idea is energy-consumers will ask for energy from an intermediary (the brokerage), which will purchase electricity in the form of a contract from a pool of supplier

If it was the bad words/slurs, could that have been resolved by hiding them behind some basic string manipulation (ex. a caesar cipher)? I can see how GitHub wouldn't want a public repo to have objectionable words, but can't

"If anyone wants your ads, they can sign up for it, delivering it to anyone else should be punishable by law." Let's say I am a Gray Actor, Company X, who sells great products but I want to make money on digital signups. I ad

What did you not like about SF? I dream about moving to a much larger city (from a boring midwestern one), just don’t know where.

Is your billing address California, IP access from California, or both? I heard Cali subscribers do have the ability to cancel, but not sure what the access method is. I have no doubt in my mind that mildly increased barriers to unsubscri

Opened this on mobile safari, wondering why I can only see players and movement while drag-scrolling the screen...

Probably minor but seeing the made up parking spot lines in the video is really cool

Reminds me of the Weasley clock in Harry Potter[1]. Really cool, you can probably make a mechanical clock using zones and a simple location api. [1] https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Weasley_Clock

This isn’t a great conclusion from Graham’s post. If you’re really trying to make this connection, then employers are incentivized to hire people with children since you can more accurately gauge their aspirations, work habits, performance

This makes sense now. If I did a GET to posts and got a "null", I would think I made some kind of error. If I get an empty array, I would (correctly) assume there are no posts yet. Basically, GET to posts would always return an ar

This is a fair sentiment, but under a model where the user decides where ad revenue goes, who would want to host the ads? It has to either be the browser (like an extension that pushes toasts) or your desktop (same thing, different context)

As a 20-something year old, I avoid doing this on the NYT Crosswords app (which is a significant exercise in trivia). My rule is I come back to a missing line later and if I _still_ can't get it, I go through my contacts and text someo

Thinking about the origins of apps like this always feel like a chicken and egg situation. Did someone look at the battery level indicator API and ask what they could do with this? Or did they have the app idea first and wondered if there w

I’m waiting on a fender, a door, and a bottom trim, and I’m at about a month total in middle-of-nowhere Midwest. Luckily, I can drive the (heavily dented) car until parts come in, but if the car can’t be driven then you’re stuck with the re

No, but I deleted the app off my phone. This is much more manageable as I only check Facebook for event invites through a web browser (either on my phone or desktop). Additionally, I no longer use SSO through Facebook

I actually stumbled into some - stocking stuffer aisle of Barnes and Noble had a few John Green titles. As of Nov 1, they’re still stocking those shelves though

Unlike EA, Epic does not have a diverse portfolio of games on different devices. EA can absorb a flop while Epic is clearly pushing people to install their PC launcher through their free Battle Royale to get potential customers to pay for t
