To be fair I have infinity more confidence in the system you just described than whatever tech bro disruptor was going to pitch

This.

This was the standard for years. Matchmaking kinda killed it.

There were 3rd part server browser services that could fill the gap, though. I wanna say GameSpy or something was a popular one in the late 90s

This is why as much as I appreciate the philanthropy of the ultra wealthy, it’s NOT a substitute for taxation

Guess we doin rockets now

Directly from my ass, it’s my assumption that the primary maintainers just don’t have an incentivize the cost of supporting older devices and the disparate hardware configurations.

Like, planned obscellesance or not, smartphone churn is going to happen anyways. People lose them, smash them, fall into a pool with them, decide they NEED the newer camera soldered into them, etc…

It’s not like there are old phones in a closet somewhere propping up business critical infrastructure like with computers.

The cost vs utility of maintaining forward features and security patches for a massive catalog of hardware configurations just isn’t there.

They’re either trying to get your goat, or it’s genuine. Either way, it’s not making the world any better by bestowing upon yourself the title of judge and enforcer. You’re either taking bait or you’re a fucking cop. “Ok” is all you gotta say.

I don’t even think it’s true.

This sounds like Trump floundering to take credit for anything. And in the absence of something, he invented a hypothetical

I’m uncomfortable with the idea that the only reason that being trans is valid is because of biological factors.

If we could construct a human that came into existence without being Female at some gestational point, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans? If someone has a thyroid problem such that they their body CAN’T handle a sex hormone, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans?

I feel like we’re looking for a 9-D chess play when a 1-D play is sufficient: you say you’re trans, you’re trans. I’m not the fucking cops

As others have mentioned, your description is maybe too vague to get a good answer. You might need to elaborate more about “moving data” means for your purposes.

I don’t know if anyone has yet asked if you mean how data is stored in RAM vs a “hard drive”… How it’s allocated. Things that are much closer to hardware and a kernel? How a CPU fetches instructions/“data”?

If they told him D-Day stood for Donald-Day, he’d have been there

Don’t even think that. He’d expose people to lightning before cancelling

Still only glancing off of the root of the issue: Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Yeah it’s not for everyone, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with people who don’t wanna do it.

And yeah, they’ll wreck you.

I’ve met people who’ve travelled the world. They’re convinced (and are quick to assert to others) that you CAN’T be your complete self without travel: exposing yourself to new experiences etc etc.

Learning an instrument. Being in a polyamorous thingy. Hunting. Getting hardcore into the gym. Veganism. Being car-free. Yoga. Religion. Psychedelics. Meditation… Everybody seems to have an answer for some critical thing required to have a full life.

I’m happy for them all for finding their jam.

For me, and presumably others, being a dad is that. I assume there are other ways people can grow into the fullest version of themselves, but for me personally, I just don’t think I could do it without the challenge of children.

I’m not just guiding and supporting and growing a kid, I’m challenging and growing myself. Rigorously exercising my patience. Rigorously exercising my body. Finding my inner peace in a riot. Experiencing the mundane as magical through the eyes of my kid, challenging and reshaping my own perception of the world.

It’s like signing up for a gym and an intense self-reflection retreat and hiring a torturer to teach you how to meditate and travelling and taking mind altering drugs and you get to do it all with someone you love.

So yeah, it’s obviously not THE ONLY answer for a fulfilling life challenge. But it is an answer for some people… And I think parents tend to be incredibly bad at describing THE NATURE in which they personally find it fulfilling which causes others to be flummoxed as to the allure.

Yeah if you’re not willing to destroy yourself for a little creature with no comprehension of what they’re doing to you, parenting isn’t for you. And if you are willing, but you feel like you’d need to try and understand the sacrifices you made for them, it’s still not for you.

I absolutely wore earplugs when my baby was screaming. Well over 90dB, well over 30 min. Still very sure I have hearing damage, especially in the ear on the side that I favoured when holding him to try and comfort him.

Lol.

Study was done in mice, and it relies on massaging specific lymph nodes which are easily accessible for massage (sounds like most of the lymph nodes related to the brain-flushing mechanism are too deep in the neck to really get at).

Super curious if/where humans have analogues.

I’m in fintech and honestly I wouldn’t have made any of these assumptions… Because I’ve long ago given up on the idea that any real world system is anything better than loose heuristics.

Like, I could be pleasantly surprised at some point… But honestly even if a PO swore up and down that something was “certain” I probably wouldn’t even believe them.

I’m also surprised that they didn’t mention that a flight could arrive on a calendar day before it departs.

Bassoon or oboe… Maybe it’s the double reed?
