I used PassportJS on a project last year, and a) it was a total nightmare to get it working, with very poor documentation and b) it does almost nothing. It's basically the "now draw an owl" meme of auth.

Do you have any proof of this? From what I've seen people are mostly aware they're gambling (it's in the name after all.)

That's not what national total wealth refers to. It refers to the wealth of all citizens. > National net wealth, also known as national net worth, is the total sum of the value of a nation's assets minus its liabilities. It ref

I used to favor full legalization, but now I think it's a bad idea. If you can simply go to a store to buy heroin (like you can with weed in many places now), I think we will inevitably have more heroin addicts. People will get addicti

It actually seems really problematic for drug trafficking to be a crime while consumption is decriminalized. It creates an easier market for organized crime to sell into, which reduces their risk. IMO instead we should do something along th

Oregon also legalized research into psychedelics, but that was a separate measure. I think it will take longer to get off the ground, because a committee needs to be established to figure out how to conduct the research.

I had a mount like that, but in the winter time when I was blasting the heat, it would overheat my phone so much that it would stop charging and eventually have to turn off. I switched to the suction cup kind, and they would work for a few

AFAIK you could always sell the stock, just not buy it.

My idea for a charging business would be an upscale coffee shop/fast casual restaurant. Like gas stations, you'd make most of your money selling food/drinks. Could it work?

I think you really have to look at fed policy and the stock market to understand this. We're in the midst of a barely-uncontrolled pandemic that has caused massive disruption and unemployment in particular sectors, and yet the stock ma

"Most of these people are in hopeless debt with no clear path out anyway" I really really think this misreads who is trading on WSB, especially who are making big trades. There was a thread the other day of someone maxing out his

I feel like EV boosters overstate these problems. I have a 12 year-old Toyota with 200k+ miles, and the only parts that have ever worn out have been suspension and brake parts (wheel bearing and brake rotors/pads), which of course an E

There are people doing this in my neighborhood in Portland as well, including with very fancy cars.

Is it just me, or is this site not retina/high DPI-aware? All the images look kind of blurry to me. Edit: here's a screenshot https://i.imgur.com/xTmYLgv.jpg . The left-hand side is the online viewer, while the rig

Hmm, I'm not sure that's accurate. No disagreement that the "homeowner-aligned conservatives" are progressive by national standards, but NIMBY's in general are progressive by national standards, because most NIMBYis

This is totally backwards. The poles of Seattle politics are around the activist-aligned progressives who support upzoning (including socialist Kshama Sawant), and the homeowner-aligned conservatives who do not.

I studied aerospace engineering and the same was true. I suspect it's the case in many engineering and science fields.

Except that in doing this, you are increasing the likelihood of spreading the virus to other people you interact with. So you are evaluating risks for yourself, but the impact is on society as a whole. It's like that superspreader wedd

I would guess they crop up repeatedly because they are cheap to fund. Fewer funders who want to put a bunch of money and time into a long, expensive study that may produce nothing. Instead fund 10 cheap studies that might produce a headline

I hope that places like Austin are forward-looking enough to absorb the new people without running into the same issues as SF. To be fair, it's pretty hard to actually do worse than SF, but there are still issues to watch out for. The

As I understand it, the reason we don't have that data about the COVID vaccines is that it's costly to check for it. It's much easier to measure symptomatic cases than it is to regularly test everyone in the study to confirm

It doesn't quite have to work like that, necessarily. Your instance could provide higher-quality tools for users to moderate their own feeds. Or there could be different degrees of opt-in to the site-wide moderation. Or the moderation

Any idea why Parler took off rather than a right-wing instance of Mastodon? Is it about framing?
