And often a highly exploitative one, especially for immigrants.

There's a (very good) brewery with an (excellent) tap room in Milwaukee named Third Space Brewing, not such a terrible idea. https://thirdspacebrewing.com.

I've setup and worked there many afternoons when I've been in Wisconsin. The drinking culture is different in the upper Midwest though, it's not party thing (always) as much as a social activity. You're not expected to get drunk, think France and wine.


My mom grew up in Wisconsin, in a farm town that was little more than a crossroads with a church, a school (K-8, high schoolers went to the nearest big-town high school), a post office... and a bar. The bar was for the farmers to meet and socialize over a beer. As you said, not really to party, just have human contact and find out what else is going on in the area.

If you can, try to rewatch it on a proper screen. The clothing and sets are incredible and the costume design and production design were nominated for an Oscar. It really deserves to be seen large.

I saw it on a cinema, and it is truly worth watching it on a big screen.

Except those iPad apps also have to have a Web app now, and if you don't have a custom MacOS app your iPad app has to look good when run in MacOS. You then have to support all iPhone models. But also maybe Windows and probably Android. 25 years ago you could slap "IBM PC Compatible" on software and basically design for like 5 color depths and maybe a few resolutions.

Update cycles were on the order of a year, not a week (which also means all new features need to be ported to all the platforms above in that timeframe). Not even mentioning the backend infrastructure and maintenance to run and sync all of these when 25 years ago everything was on your local hard drive and maybe a floppy disk or CD-R.


Webster and a few other folks tried. It just didn't stick.


The problem here is people die when those things are removed even for a few weeks or months. You don't get to "put back" security for SSN data when it's already been accessed by foreign governments. He's not doing this in good faith, he's convinced he's the smartest man in the world and should literally be a dictator.


It's fine, it won't hurt Musk himself. All these wild experiments are perfectly okay from his perspective because, to him, there's basically zero risk.


> You don't get to "put back" security for SSN data when it's already been accessed by foreign governments.

"Good" news then, this is already the case! Or should very much be assumed to be the case, following the various GSA hacks.

>I believe he is acting in good faith and the result will be a much more efficient government.

If he's acting in good faith then where is the transparency he's promised? Taking Elon at his word is, at this point, naive at best.


That's not an edge case. Cutting services that people depend on to live will kill them. That's a guarantee.


The difference is those were private platforms not giving a soapbox to certain politicians that were quite clearly violating private terms of service. This is the federal government deleting taxpayer-funded content, data and studies. They are not similar in any way and to imply otherwise is a disingenuous comparison.


Ruby and Rails (together or Ruby separate). ~18 years on both.


Pro photographer here: The best way to tag someone as an amateur is if they look at a photo and ask "what lens was that?"


As an amateur (who did a bit of paid work in his youth) I still look at photos I like and wonder what lens was used.

I don’t really care about the brand or model but I like to know the settings. Ie aperture used, max aperture, focal length, etc.

Was very subtle flash used and if so what was the placement and mod, etc?

I just want to know how it was made.

Even with shots from people like Cartier-Bresson where he almost always used the same lens, film and settings. I still wonder if anything changed.

I don’t miss all the arse sniffing, snobbery and inverse snobbery involved in photography though.


My father was a professional photographer. He was also a professional asshole so his response was always to respond with the shittiest worst lens he could think of and see if they bought it.


Funny, but professionals do it quite often. In all professions people do talk about their tools and exchange their experiences. Quite usual.


oooooh 2004 burn! Relevant!
