A few sentences later:

> Larson says once he told U.S. Customs and Border Protection why he wanted to enter the country, he was sent for a secondary inspection.


> The denial phase is over.

We're in the over-correcting phase, where every person alive is an abuse survivor of varying seriousness.

For what it's worth I'm not a cynical person against psychology, and I read both the DSM and the ICD front to back every time a revision comes out. But with every revision, especially for the DSM, I become more concerned that we're creeping towards the "everybody suffers from a multitude of disorders therefore nobody does" territory which will bring us right back to ignoring people who need help.


> where every person alive is an abuse survivor of varying seriousness

An odd way to frame it but probably true.

> which will bring us right back to ignoring people who need help

That does not follow - if the environmental sources are known, people (especially teachers and social workers) can look out for them and take measures to improve the outcome for the child. And this is what I'm seeing right now.

See it on a societal scale - for the same effort put into raising kids, you get more functional adults.


I feel that everybody is "nuts" in their own way.

The cross-over that we need to focus on is whether their neuro-divergence is actually debilitating.


> After 2 minutes at 150 kHashes on mobile, I finally see the first pixel of the progress bar filling up. Seems like it will take hours or a day to finish. Some estimate would have been nice.

Literally the grandparent of the comment chain you're responding to.


> iOS 26 calls out slow chargers on their iPhones, so you can run to the Apple Store and buy a fast one!

You jest but that notification (it's been a thing on Android for at least 8 years, and on thinkpads for at least 10) has been very helpful to me. Sometimes the negotiation just fails and being told is helpful. Sometimes the charger lies about its specs and once again it's helpful to have a hint, rather than expect everybody to systematically have usb testers on hand.


This one is pretty simple to do. It requests a voltage and then starts pulling current and monitors the voltage as it increases its current draw. If the voltage goes down, alert the user.

With data speed I think it could be a little more complicated. Like OP was saying it would need access to some level of hardware information where it can see which pins are used by the cable. Since the connection 'speed' is still variable even when you DO have a supported cable.


I do jest, it’s a great feature. I never considered charger negotiation failure!

Scrolling is extremely poorly behaved on that page for me too, Firefox 149 Windows 10. Which is quite ironic coming from an article that mainly criticizes the web dev aspects of the app!

Scrolling on my firefox is smooth... with javascript blocked.

It's too late for you, but for others reading this: You can get rid of most ads on Android TV by enabling "Apps only mode".

The only downside to enabling this mode is that it's a bit more difficult to access the play store when you need it because they hide the home shortcut to it as a final f you.

When you need to install a new app you can still access it by going to settings -> apps -> show system apps -> scroll -> scroll more -> keep scrolling -> Google Play Store -> Open.


Honestly, I don't mind the ads as much. The interface is just so slow. You press a button and the TV does nothing. Then you press again but now the TV registers both clicks! Now you have to reverse the second click. Repeat over and over again. Ugh!

A note on this reactionary stance: at present you are better off using OrganicMaps. CoMaps is tainted by being a reactionary fork, has less features and lags behind on bug fixes.

I've found CoMaps actually has more features, like I was able to submit a new Place to OSM which wasn't possible in Organic Maps at the time I switched over. This discrepancy may not still be the case though as I haven't checked recently.

You sound like a teenager fighting his parents. "Technically you didn't say WHICH bed I had to be in by midnight!!!!! I was in A bed, I followed the rules!!!!"

Society (mostly) works because we all agree that laws have intents. The wording is crafted as best as possible, and for the rest we have judges to shutdown lawyers trying to be a moffkalast smart asses.


Call it what you want, I still think that if the, ahem, intent, of a law is to reduce personal freedoms then it should be protested in as many annoying ways as possible. Should at least get some publicity even if it gets struck down.

Without ECS, the CDN will default to the closest one to the resolver, and cloudflare has resolvers in all major cities.

Given that the vast majority of us live in or near a major city, it means that your vaguely gloom and doom commentary doesn't apply.

If you live in the boondocks or if CDN matching misbehaves for some reason, by all means run benchmarks!

But all other things being equal, Cloudflare's privacy policy is better than Google's.


I'm near a major city. Your comments unfortunately do not align with my experience, nor the experience of several people that I know. Testing has confirmed this.

If archive.today was known to be run by God himself, I would still describe what he is doing as a DDoS and breaching the trust of its users by abusing their browser and bandwidth to conduct his battles.
