I agree it is different, but the jury is out on whether it is better. Banning "social media" is likely to push users to a "lite" version of it. I'm not convinced that will be better.

Did you reach out to the creator? They know there are some QA issues and claim to be good at sending replacements or fixes.

Does the reader have dark mode? Or does that depend on the website’s implementation?

Does it re-request contents when it reload tabs after the app is suspended? Safari makes it very difficult to read content later if you don’t have service.

They seem to have used them on the Steam Deck, so maybe they'll use them again in future projects.

I am talking about the walk from LAXit. This is the parking lot where Uber/Lyft/Taxi pickups are, and you generally have to take a shuttle to get there to begin with. LAXit is on Sepulveda, but it is safer to cross the street to a

It is very easy at LAX. You walk about 100 yards across one (admittedly very busy) intersection and get picked up for 1/3 the price. You already have to take a shuttle to even get picked up unless you have a black car, so this adds 5 m

Typically, tax rates are much higher on cannabis than regular sales tax. In many states, it is even taxed twice; once when the retailer purchases it from a distributor, and again when the consumer purchases it from the retailer. Some laws h

Ok, but this thread isn't about the actual value of the taxes. This is just about the waste of time that is filing taxes.

Okay, did they change their attitudes because they owed money or because they spent 20 hours filing their taxes?

You still have to pay your taxes, including writing a check or getting a return at the end of the process. This just cuts out the billions of wasted hours of busywork along with the billions of dollars spent on unnecessary tax prep. Plus, m

I completely agree. I also don't think it is hypocritical to take advantage of tax "loopholes" at the same time as arguing they should be closed. That is just good financial practice.

Yes, they have a web client, but their audiobook support is not great. Plex is primarily geared towards music (albums/tracks), and the podcast support is built on top of it by independent clients. I recommend Prologue for iOS and Chron

I doubt it, but why wouldn't it be close to market value for public companies? I don't know how it works for the ultra-wealthy, but regular investors can draw a loan against their deposits with securities-based lines of credit (SB

In your mind, would it be "truly absurd" to redefine what counts as a realized capital gain? [1] In my mind, if you take a loan against your equity, you are realizing the current market value. This would be difficult to implement

I rented one for a few weeks in late 2021, and the experience completely turned me off of Tesla's FSD. During a 2 hour drive on an interstate on a clear, sunny day, FSD started steering into another vehicle 3 different times. One was a

I'm not an expert, but I lean towards relaxing zoning laws but not getting rid of them completely. Look to Houston to see what happens when there are no zoning laws at all.

I may be misunderstanding the chart, but it says it misses cash offers on second home purchases. All-cash purchases are on the rise since 2008, so that seems like a pretty large segment that isn't represented.

Which version of that are you talking about in Python? The biggest related gotcha I've seen in Python is when you have a trailing comma `x = 1,` and accidentally create a tuple.

I don’t care for Neil Young, but did you read to the end of that article or just the first few paragraphs? In his 2002 biography of Neil Young, Shakey, Jimmy McDonough writes “I had found out that Young was planning on donating the proceeds

Microsoft seems likely to support at least Nintendo. With Game Pass and Minecraft, they've leaned more towards gaming as a platform. Some Switch games have full MS support including Achievements, which was surprising.

I think the next step would be predictive text. Have 3+ symbols that correspond to a screen that is in the subject's eye line. Basically just leverage the current tech to streamline this.
