Brave of you to assume they had anyone running infosec by the sounds of it

and I wonder why I can get flights to the US from Australia at historically low prices?

I noticed that too, travel agent said that getting to Europe via not-the-US was literally double the cost of going via the US. I ended up going via Dubai (also very cheap for some odd reason) because it's less risky than via the US.

Oh we are, just we have neurological reasons for it :D

This is a parallel story for me to vinyl / streaming for music

There are some books and albums I want as physical artefacts, their aesthetic and tactile presence in my world means something more than just the content, you're right, the smell, the art, their feel

Then there are some that are _just_ content, they get streamed and bought as ebooks for just convienence and consumption

That's just fetishizing a mass produced object. Books have never been about the physical object, they have always been about what is written.

It's like guys buying fancy cars and motorbikes to polish them in the garage, rather than riding them.

And same thing frankly for vinyl collecting vs digital music files.

It's a very strange cultural thing too, Australians (and I presume other Commonwealth countries) default to paracetamol (acetaminophen) before ibuprofen

Paracetemol has always been seen as first thing you'd take for pain relief, and you'd "step up" ibuprofen as an escalation, but that might more to do with marketing of Panadol (paracetemol) vs Nurofen (ibuprofen).

We'd look on at the US where you were taking Advil like candy in confusion.

One great thing you learn as a parent, you can alternate acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Both of them are recommended every four hours, but you can stagger one by two hours to maintain consistency of pain-relief taking ibuprofen then paracetemol two hours later

> I presume other Commonwealth countries) default to paracetamol (acetaminophen) before ibuprofen

Can confirm this is true in India.

Paracetamol is widely used. Paracetamol + Ibuprofen is more common than Ibuprofen by itself.

> Australians (and I presume other Commonwealth countries) default to paracetamol

The same is the case in the Netherlands.

Cursor ($60b) being valued the same as Twitter ($51b inflation adjusted) is _willlld_

I get the want to define architectural relationships as a node & edge structure rather than just purely diagrams, which is an argument for D2 over Mermaid

but why not just use https://github.com/jsongraph?

Yeah, this seems more like a copyright issue than a "spoilers" issue

I think putting people in prison for "copyright infringement" is inherently illegitimate, so this doesn't change my view of the situation, which is that everyone involved should be ashamed to even continue existing.

But then that furthers the argument that Figma is dead-in-the-water

These are a design communication tools, in the same way FrontPage and Dreamweaver back in the day - they enable a designer to communicate intent to create solutions to UX design problems in a way that can be understood by downstream production.

Using Figma doesn't immediately make something aesthetic or useful, its just a tool. Claude Design enables the same thing, it enables someone to communicate design intent, with a much lower bar.

These AI tools like Loveable just do more of the groundwork than Figma does

> Replacement batteries for any model will have to remain available to users for at least five years after the last unit of the product is placed on the market, the regulation also states.

Using a 5 year old phone is common these days. I still see plenty of home button iPhones in the wild.
