People signal with high prices as well, luxury clothing for example is not rare, or scare, or even all that good. For some the excess spend is the signal, and there has been an aspect of cost signalling in organic grown goods for a long tim

Agreed except that not everywhere can landfill, so tightening up global trash agreements still makes sense.

I wholeheartedly agree. I also don't see any problem with banning the straws in the first place, and I hope it is just the beginning of plastic items we ban.

Yes thousands of examples in every grocery store. It is still crazy to me, since the answer for so many of them is just a cardboard box or paper wrapper. We have the technology. Paper has it's downsides too, but they are surmountable.

Straws were also banned because of their immediate impact on ocean life, the same reason we got rid of plastic ring 6 pack can holders. Animals get them lodged in their bodies.

The wealth is so unimaginably high that for practical purposes like that, building things etc, I suspect they long surpassed the needed capital. You could take 99% of Elons wealth from him and he could still build disaster bunkers or commis

Some of the hype is just VCs being excited about having somewhere to put their bets, and founders happy to gobble the money. But it does feel a bit more tangible this time, for one, people are using it daily at work for a huge swath of role

That is the funniest thing I have read today, thank you. I understand the need for an encrypted connection, but it is worrying to see cars getting built more or less like phone or web apps, and encountering the same obtuse issues.

I suppose it doesn't make a material difference if it's enforceable, since if you have personal data on their platform right now you have to assume it's been accessed or consumed in some form. They obviously had an inent to s

Hm, it does not have a link. I don't use twitter and so I am not logged in, perhaps the elaborated post is behind the auth? If so perhaps you'd be so kind as to provide that link. If it's in the comments then that is also not

I have had a hard time articulating this too. I really like trains, I travel to go ride them, but I don't sit on the internet researching trains in my spare time and I don't know thr minutae of the different train models. I just k

You have a much better idea of what demand is tangible and grounded, which means you are in a great position to start a bootstrapped small business. Some people have been calling them boring businesses which is actually pretty exciting to m

I would be surprised if it was not controlled airspace, if not restricted airspace they would have had protocols to follow even just being near the base.

That's fair enough. I guess I am just surprised that there would be only two clubs. Most clubs here don't specialize in one genre except the "core edm" clubs but that might be an artifact of our distance from everything.

If I am being charitable it is probably partly to do with how much music is coming out, it is basically impossible to listen to all new DnB releases so it helps that they get categorized so you can find what you want. If I am being uncharit

> That's the case for a lot of "normies", but it really feels insulting to the electronic music fans in general. Which is a hang up that they should work on, because we are all just trying to love the same thing. I agree w

I didn't say techno was EDM, I said our EDM clubs spin techno. Genre elitism is why I stopped spinning, it is such a boring thing to bike shed over and contributes zero to the music.

I am not doing this. I know what techno is, and EDM clubs here can also spin techno, yes real techno.

Is this specifically techno/underground clubs you mean? My pokey city in Aus has like a dozen "EDM" clubs that spin a decent breadth of techno to house to dnb etc. Perhaps I should count myself lucky?

I see your point, but perhaps I just don't see the path our society takes to make it a positive thing. Your last point is the one I worry about most, since it is very likely these technologies will be controlled by large entities with

It uses wi-fi triangulation as a second source of location data I believe, so this may not be enough. Edit: apologies I assumed this was about android devices.

Another one, the play store says I must continue setting up my account every time I use it. It does this to ask for my payment details, but I can skip it, so it's not required. Yet it will ask again next time.

Certainly, but it could also be a net negative. We can however already identify ways in which it can benefit and harm our societies in the short term, so we should at least be considering mitigations of the negative aspects.

This is why I recommend using a framework in commercial projects, and following it's idioms as closely as makes sense for your project. It means there is a shared idiomatic approach across your team and all the documentation for it is

I agree, I would say it's perfectly capable just the target for success is different. It's not a commercial venture aiming for 99% availability and a dropped request here and there isn't that impactful.
