> As many of you may have suspected, this post is not entirely truthful. I have not released this fitness app onto the Play Store, nor have I collected millions of master tokens. Thanks to this post for inspiration. But yes, these methods do work. I absolutely could release such an app, and so could anyone else (and maybe they have).
I wouldn't either, since people aren't expected to enter the discussion based on a cursory reading of just the headline. At least not when they think they discuss the article (of which they only know the headline) -- it's still OK if they jump in to discuss other comments.
If you give food to somebody who isn't hungry, it gets either trashed or they get fat. Neither are desirable outcomes. It also trashes the economy, since people will have a hard time selling foot when everybody already has some.
It is much more effective to simply give people money to decide for themselves what they need (except for maybe medical care, since getting sick isn't a choice), than having the government try to figure that out for 300 million people at once.
Because you cannot have something as a 'right', if it requires someone else to be compelled to provide goods and services for you. Because then your right to food means that someone else does not have the right to the fruits of their labour.
Rights are something that can be enjoyed by everyone simultaneously. For instance, your right to travel does not mean that someone else has to buy you a car or a plane ticket - all it requires from others is non-interference.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights disagrees with you. It says
> Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
Lots of developed countries already have that. But it's not enough because it raises the threshold for being "poor". I live in a poor neighborhood where nobody lacks any of those things but they still go begging for cigarettes in the street because those aren't part of the universal right. People always want more (not judging, just observing).
And that is the big miss I am completely worried about. We don't need a basic income if one year later vegetables triple in price and our income stays the same.
I'm not blind but I do like to listen to podcasts, YouTube, etc at 1.5-3x and I've certainly caught myself getting annoyed at how long it takes to listen to a new album I want to check out, but I've never tried to speed it up, I just remember to relax and enjoy it.
Presumably because its running a 32-bit linux kernel? That is a problem too (hit me recently too with a MD device), but the solution has been to switch to a 64-bit kernel.
Well stopping bots from buying tickets and vpns so they can resell them at insane prices is exactly why events need AXS type stuff, and then they abuse that for their own anti-consumer actions
There are a lot of corner cases. What if I want to give some of the tickets to a friend who has to arrive late and meet me inside the venue? What if I want to do legitimate reselling on a website like Stubhub (many events encourage this even, like reselling sports tickets if you can’t make it, so that the seat doesn’t go empty and the stadium can make money on concessions... this happens all the time if you’re a season ticket holder for a particular team; you just frequently can’t make it and need to resell).
Personally I wish tickets were just bearer bonds. If you have the paper ticket in your hand, you get in, all else be damned.
Then to solve scalping or bots, try to invent solutions that offer tickets to verified long-time fans / supporters first, then use a pre-registered (not day-of) lottery system to allow general purchases.
My main issue is the keybinds, like before when you archived from the inbox it would go to the next one, or you could use 'j', 'k' to go the next one and it would open, now it does nothing after the next mail doesn't open when archiving
this makes going through the inbox in the morning very frustrating
I think you're referencing very specific type of bugs while overlooking a whole plethora of other ways a program might fail to follow expectations.
As long as we need expressively languages, it will be possible to write bugs (be that low level languages or even "scripting" languages). And as long as we have a diverse ecosystem of hardware and software stacks (and I hope we do continue to) then there will be bugs.
Bugs are unavoidable. The point of testing frameworks / fuzzing / etc is to reduce the number and severity of bugs.
However if you do have a method of writing 100% bug free code then I'd be interesting in you sharing it ;)
EDIT: i should believe where he said he didn't do it, not whee he said he did it
