On a similar note, but in regards to non-work projects: I see things all the time like "look at this thing I built in a [week, weekend, day]". Man I sometimes spend months just thinking about my stuff.
not to mention that my definition of noteworthiness is acting in the service of others and spending some time with my family and loved ones and lifetime friends, which by the way requires some dreaded 'complacency' instead of treating my life like some Silicon Valley TV show business plan.
By god reading that entire thing has managed to rile me up, I can't believe people actually live like this
I’ve been trying to delete every trace of creative cloud from my computer. Despite scouring the file system and rm-rf everything I can find, it comes back every restart ️
Aside from /Applications, I'd look through ~/Library/Application Support, ~/Library/{ADOBE_LOOKING_THINGS}, ~/Library/LaunchDaemons/, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/, the /Library versions of the last two (and /System/Library if you have SIP disabled), and /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools.
(I) THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT CONSUMER PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES; AND
(II) PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE PRODUCTS FOR COMMERCIAL USE AND/OR IN A BUSINESS CAPACITY. ORDERS PLACED BY CONSUMERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
It is not quite uncommon to make evaluation kits only available to commercial customers as they come in a very bare form, lacking any safety notes and so on.
But in the end points to what I think is wrong with e-ink: there are no offerings for hobbyists, which could help a lot to create markets. Why not have at least some displays sold for the Raspberry Pi crowd?
Yeah, but it does seem like this could be a retail (via online sales) product. I don't really see many e-ink commercially deployed around me, and I'm in the bay area. I think the company(ies) controlling this tech ought to try to do anything to make their products more accessible/used.
I agree. It really looks to me as if there is not enough availability of this technology for hobbyists and startups - many startups started from some hobby tinkering with a technology. The big industry doesn't seem to be very interested, so one would need startups to bring more applications to the market.
Capital One’s secured card helped me build credit when I arrived in the US years and years ago. Interest rates were high but I wasn’t shocked by that given I was someone with no credit history.
I defaulted on my student loans a while back and royally screwed my credit. When I decided I was going to get my shit together it started with a Capital One card with a $300 limit and I’m sure a really high interest rate. But my plan was to, of course, not carry a balance, which I didn’t.
These days my credit score is ~780 and I do some casual churning for travel points.
Cap One gave me credit when I probably shouldn't have had it and I ruined it lol.
A decade+ out I have rebuilt my credit to excellent and secured cards were instrumental in that. Ironically my two secured cards from when the rebuild started have both been aquired by Capital One ;D
Is the ask here for Facebook not to do anything to intervene?
Times was giving Facebook crap that Facebook Live promoted/publicized suicides, so doesn’t quite compute that their attempt to do something about it is also bad.

If Facebook's algorithms were promoting suicide-related posts, then doing something about it might be good, but it does not follow that they should also take an active role in suicide prevention.
You are creating a false dichotomy, both things can be bad at the same time. E.g.: being a thief is bad, being a vigilante is also bad.
