  1. Six of eight
  2. > google helped kickstart the world wide web

    Where on earth did you get that idea? The web existed long before Google - Google just found a unique way to monetise other people’s content

  3. Revenue is not profit
  4. Isn't this effectively neutral over time? Heat generated during compression, lost during decompression, so basically using the air as a heat storage medium?
  5. > An unstyled text input doesn't look like a nearly invisible thin light gray rectangle.

    Correct – it doesn't. It would bode you well to actually try the thing you're commenting on.

    > Vague ad hominem attacks

    Then let me be explicit – it's pretty clear that you only came here to troll, because nothing you've said has any basis in fact. Please don't do that here.

  6. > Then you wouldn't have to remove default styling for it to "work out of the box"

    I didn't. I removed the CSS styling provided in the example to test that it works perfectly without it.

    As OP said in his post description "Base UI doesn’t bundle any styles"

    > Barely visible thin light gray lines where the input is supposed to be are endemic

    That's a very different complaint, and if as you say "endemic", contradicts your original one that in general they don't render at all.

    I imagine that the CSS in the examples are intentionally lightweight exactly because they're unstyled components. It isn't a design system, so is being as unopinionated as possible while demonstrating how to style them.

    I don't use the "T" word lightly, but it really does look like you're intentionally being one. (That or poorly informed – you chose which side of Hanlon's razor you sit.)

  7. That doesn't explain why an entire account is shut down, rather than just use of gift cards. Hammer to crack an egg, and just plain lazy/incompetent
  8. The first line of the homepage says "RootMyTV (v1/v2) has been patched for years, and your TV is almost certainly not vulnerable.", so that's hardly surprising
  9. The point is that it works out of the box (i.e. with no additional styling). It isn't invisible.

    And yes, obviously with default browser styling – what else would it use in the absence of any default styling or the example css?

    I don't understand your argument.

  10. FWIW, I tried the Input example from the docs in StackBlitz and removed the default styling, and it renders just fine...
  11. Spotted this yesterday on X and already upgraded to v1 from beta.6 without issue (admittedly I'm only using a subset of the components, so YMMV).

    Congrats to the team!

  12. Short videos have subtitles for engagement with those watching without sound (a significant proportion)
  13. Why on earth would you want to accelerate, brake, and steer by voice?
  14. Very cool!

    Buttery smooth on mobile (iPhone 14), but the slider thumbs have a vertical anlignment issue (consider using a component library that has solved all the niggles rather than rolling your own).

    Also, you might consider setting the default airport according to time of day – Memphis is dead rn, whereas Heathrow is super busy and fun to watch…

    Also, lots be the name!

  16. What makes your UPS any less of a fire timebomb?
  17. They've changed their cookie consent provider (or rolled their own) since my comment. Probably just a happy coincidence, but well done Coursera in any case for fixing a pretty egregious breach of regulations.

    The other good news in the meantime is that the EU (who originally mandated cookie consent) has finally woken up to the ridiculousness of leaving it up to the site, and will require browsers to enforce it instead.

  18. I developed it later in life. The tinnitus came earlier (and isn't as a result of excessive sound exposure as far as I know), but in my (unscientific) opinion they are different manifestations (symptoms) of the same underlying issue – a missing or faulty noise filter on sensory inputs to the brain.

    Thankfully I don't get comorbid headaches – in fact I seldom get headaches at all. And even on the odd occasion that I do, they're mild and short-lived (like minutes). I don't recall ever having a headache that was severe, or that lasted any length of time.

    Yours does sound much more extreme than mine, in that mine is in no way debilitating. It's more just frustrating that it exists at all, and that it isn't more widely recognised and researched. I have yet to meet an optician that seems entirely convinced that it's even a real phenomenon.

  19. Pleased to meet someone else who suffers from "visual snow". I'm fortunate in that like my tinnitus, I'm only acutely aware of it when I'm reminded of it, or, less frequently, when it's more pronounced.

    You're quite correct that our "reality" is in part constructed. The Flashed Face Distortion Effect [0][1] (wherein faces in the peripheral vision appear distorted due the the brain filling in the missing information with what was there previously) is just one example.

  20. That isn't how trademarks work. There can be multiple business with the same name, as long as they operate in a different field. Case in point, Apple Computer had to pay for the rights to The Beatles label Apple Music only when they entered the music industry (not that they didn't try to contest it!)

    Copyright is something different entirely!

  21. > I used per-account email [addresses] with alias services

    I do too (anything@mysubdomain.example.com), but but online services collude with data brokers to share so much information [0] that I don't doubt that many of these "separate" profiles have been aggregated.

    Unfortunately the services that supposedly offer to have your personal data removed from data brokers don't seem to support aliasing, so no straightforward way to either find out or have the data removed.

    [0] Just look at the scary list of third-party cookies you can't opt out of on Coursera [1], for example:

    Match and combine data from other data sources 419 partners can use this feature Always Active

    Identify devices based on information transmitted automatically 546 partners can use this feature Always Active

    Link different devices 358 partners can use this feature Always Active

    Deliver and present advertising and content 582 partners can use this special purpose Always Active

  22. While we're on the subject, if you brush after meals, you're doing it wrong.

    Brush first thing in the morning (before your first meal/drink, other than water), and last thing at night (well after your last meal).

    Plaque acid is at its lowest, so this approach results in the least damage to enamel from brushing. (Amongst other reasons.)

    For a similar reason, only have a thorough brush in the morning, and a mild brush in the evening.

  23. Or you could, you know, read the article before commenting to see the limited scope of this integration?

    Anyway, Google has already integrated Gemini into Sheets, and recently added direct spreadsheet editing capability so your comment was disproven before you even wrote it

  24. /out of touch/out of reach/ ?
  25. Got it! Thanks for clarifying
  26. Said by someone who hasn't been to the less affluent parts of London, I suspect.
  27. Laudable, or laughable? I only ask because "laudable" didn't quite seem to fit with most of the examples you gave.
