Why not charge $1 to apply ? Would drastically filter down spam applications.

_tailwind_ was the full circle. We had individual controls. We went to semantic controls, then back to individual controls a la tailwind.

The annual membership fee is about customer selection, for me.

What it buys for me is, "not Walmart People". Totally worth the investment.

right, it buys Costco people. my local Haggens is a veritable paradise by comparison to the overcrowded warehouse that's too far away and closes too early to shop at after work. don't get me started on Fred Meyer clientele

Right, because if we can trust centralized control, we can't trust anything. Bring on the social credit!

I tried to use the Teton 65L to ruck. Just put a 50 lbs bag of wheat in there.

Shoulder strap failed on insert to main pack after six 1-hour rucks . Got a replacement. Zipper failed at bottom on another one.

Wanted to increase load to 100 lbs, but gonna have to go with a different brand.

In our household, the worst offenders of phones at the dinner tables are the grandparents.

It's as gross as 2 knuckles deep in your nose.

Zone 2 cardio is pretty doggone easy. I notice that if I hit 50 minutes of zone 2, then it is a huuuge stress reliever for me.

Right! We demand engineering perfection! No autopilot until we guarantee it will NEVER kill a soul. Don't worry that human drivers kill humans all the time. The rubric is not better than a human driver, it is an Angelic Driver. Perfection is what we demand.

Waymo drives better than most people.

Tesla Autopilot seems to mostly drive hubris. The fine print says you're still supposed to maintain control. They don't have as sophisticated sensors as competitors because Elon decreed "humans don't have LiDAR, so we don't need to pay for it."

Nobody is saying it has to be perfect, but Tesla hasn't demonstrated that it's even trying.

I can see where they're coming from with the video-only concept, but even they admit it's not self-driving yet, so just don't call it self-driving (or "FSD**" or "autopilot") until it is.

I looove Rust for the backend.

I've supported backends in typescript, python, Java, and Rust.

Rust pages me the least at night. Sleep is beautiful.

I agree with you. Rust is rock-solid. I had zero crashes with Rust. But, having said that, I so-far have zero crashes with Node.js as well. Maybe because I'm a one man team, and I'm very pedantic, so everything is wrapped in try/catch, schema validations, and strict typescript/eslint rules.

I would agree with you that *by default*, Rust makes it harder to write bad/bug prone code compared to others, but with discipline (which big teams in "fast moving environments" usually don't have), you can get similar assurances with Node/Typescript.
