All that is true except almost no sunglasses made with the glass lenses. It’s almost all plastic with UV shielding layer.


Rotorwings are also not found in the nature yet they give us ability to navigate in a short distance 3D space better than fixed wing.


it's a privacy feature. I don't want to share my name with someone who doesn't have my contact.


No, it’s not. The name is still visible, but not on the chat list, only the in-app contact card. Thus it’s an anti-privacy feature as it coerces users share all their contacts with Meta.


WhatsApp have a name field that is public. It just does not want to use it for the chat list. Or allow you to edit it client side.


It sounds completely surreal to have cameras and face id everywhere, but this is already done by our phones (face recognition) and GPS tracking, full surveillance of any messaging activity (with rare exceptions) for no good reason other than selling ads. Having less gun violence and deadly police interactions can actually use this technology for something better than just ads served by corporations (and also sell this data to anyone who pays). We should be careful about who can access these systems though.


Dented golden grey Camry is a true urban chameleon.



Which one do you recommend? Namecheap literally kicked me out (with 1 month deadline to transfer my domain) because I happen to have wrong passport color.


Cloudflare, if they support the TLD you need. My personal domain is a .cx which they don't support, so I stick with Namecheap for the time being.


I have had my domains hosted at EasyDNS for almost 20 years, and have never had the smallest problem with them. Rock solid, reliable DNS, and excellent customer service. The founder is still running the company, and he is both a free speech advocate and a stickler for due process, so no worries about getting kicked off at a whim.


Porkbun never fucked me over. They seem legit and not overly scummy.

How does having the wrong passport color equal being kicked out?


Most of Namecheap's employees are in Ukraine, and they decided to block Russian users after the invasion: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...


It's a euphemism for trade restrictions.


Namecheap is Ukrainian. Possibly parent has a Russian or Belarusian passport.


Namecheap is not Ukrainian, it's headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.


Ah, thanks. With all the weirdness going on, I wasn't sure we weren't talking immigration.


Igor is a popular Russian name


Opensrs/Tucows


This is a real struggle for a lot of people, myself included. Hence the hype.


It's interesting, since it could be very dry east, but it has most humid/rainy area in US (Hilo). One of the most fascinating islands in my opinion.


> That's a barrier to entry that doesn't exist in the PC ecosystem.

Unless you're using some native language like C++ and cross-platform UI framework like QT or js/Electron you have even bigger diversity problem in the PC ecosystem. There are Windows (x86/arm), macOS (x86/arm), linux (variable desktop environments), Chrome OS, ...

You would need to provide builds for all the OS and hopefully also provide Store versions (Windows Store, AppStore, Snap)


to be fair that is probably a major reason that we haven't seen the year of the linux desktop, and for that matter no other OS has really been able to break the Windows/Mac duopoly in desktop OSes.
