A couple of retired family members are caring for my grandmother (who thankfully does not have dementia but is very old), and I always wish there was a way I could cut in to drive her to a doctor's appointment or do a load of laundry w

I don't want to muddy the water or interfere with your strategy but I would love something like that for non-dementia care where the person cared for can give input. Either way really I think this is a beautiful idea.

I encountered a keyboard with a very primitive, single player version of that feature and I was playing interesting tunes in a weekend having repeatedly made zero progress in traditional lessons. It's so helpful to just get into the fl

That was perhaps the most compelling landing page I've ever seen. When you mentioned the lack of cookie banner I found it strangely exciting. I hope I'm in a salaried, non time tracking role for the foreseeable future, but if not

The IE 7 compatibility code broke the site in modern browsers, or did you really get a visitor on a Windows 98 machine?

document.querySelector was not available in IE 6 and 7. Dealing with those versions was where jQuery really earned its spot in the JS universe. It was a lot to remember where all the quirks were and the incantations to work around them.

It's odd that when people from Intel talk about Intel on the Internet or with me in person it's so frequently about high level strategy and C level/Board of Directors politics. The way they're spoken of exhibits a lot of

Can't pay attention to video lectures at the best of times is part of it, but I also think being consistently understimulated causes people to shut down the learning process.

I think part of why the signed apps system feels onerous to me is that I can't really trust it for the things that matter most. Even if I'm assuming no exploits, everything working as intended, the permissions don't map well

It's even another level down from that. I haven't heard about their landlord kicking them out of whatever office they have. That would have its own real world knock-on effects like the storage of valuables and confidential materia

The monasteries with businesses (beer, wine, book copying, etc) were later innovations. The original vision for Benedict was a self-sufficient and isolated community, keeping interactions with the outside world to a minimum.

I don't know about that, I don't remember any real consequences or standards on the early Internet. When it was a technological novelty there weren't organized and well funded efforts to posting in bad faith. I guess it depen

As long as the public square is privately owned we're going to have problems. I think it's great these companies have stopped supporting Parler. The problem is that so much power has devolved to these entirely unaccountable organi

I don't think it's about lawbreakers, it's about depriving the devoted core of access to a large casual following. The people really deeply devoted to these movements will remain, but many others will just lose interest if it

Or not even radicalized, just massively misinformed. It seems like people denying a problem exists is creating massive inertia against solutions to even the most apparent and emotionally salient problems (mass shootings, COVID, etc).

It seems like we've been talking about this so long that a complementary product feature would be standard everywhere even if it didn't work.

Given the complexity and specialization and massive physical plant required for modern hardware manufacturing I just can't get as worked up over their antics like I can with software.

I'd love to see what that leads to on an evolutionary timescale. Water departments of the future just go from clam bed to clam bed delivering treats and collecting water quality reports.

I hate to say that your story made the ethics paragraph sound like a worthwhile exercise. If they didn't have an amazing canned answer it's because they weren't thinking about it enough to have something interesting to say. M

I could see this being easier than FFI to use some algorithm implemented in C in a one-off lisp script.

While we're talking anecdata, for the first ~30 years of my life I found absolutely no relief from acetaminophen for anything from illness to injury to random headaches. A couple years ago my wife cajoled me to try taking it again, and

This is an amazing summary of the problem and why it remains a problem.

Yeah I've tried to work on this before and it falls apart on the PII part and also the need to explain the context of everything.

Presumably it would be less annoying if it was a highly specific request for something you are uniquely able to provide.

You overpromise when you fear that what you can actually deliver is inadequate. Obviously imposter syndrome doesn't lead inevitably to ponzi schemes, but it's a possible maladaptive response to those feelings. Bernie Madoff was pr

Regarding how it can be circumvented, insurance companies, in my experience, try to say that this or that service was not actually part of the emergency. For instance, they may want to begin some of the long term maintenance of your new con

It's worse than that, my wife got one of these bills from a provider who was never in her hospital room. The bill ended up getting waived but it was for more than the rest of the stay.

It's an understandable error only if residents and their safety isn't at the front of your mind. Perhaps if a resident had been closely involved they would have been able to tell the developers that they don't have anything i

I think what trips people up is that the opportunities to return are not necessarily the same as the ones that you would look for if you were still on the direct path. To start with, if you're tied to an area, you have to start your se
