I'd argue it doesn't accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased over 90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.

In a speculative industry like finance, shouldn't we try our best to make charts less... alarmist?

About the PIN thing -- I was confused too, because they never bother explaining to anyone. What actually happens is their system automatically e-mails you a new verification code (not a pin, if you ask me) while you're on the phone, and you need to remember to check whichever e-mail account that is and continuously refresh until it comes up.

It doesn't help that e-mail, like SMS text messaging, while being very fast is absolutely NOT an instant communication method. There can often be delays receiving a message with those technologies due to how they're designed.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I've been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I'm not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under "Various Artists". As such, I've been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn't work for me, I'm guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

While this no doubt could have unforeseen legal consequences, I like the attitude of possibly recognizing the rich aboriginal history in at least parts of mother earth as a person as a means to practice good environmental stewardship.

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

I definitely agree about Christmas. It's secondary to Easter. Ash Wednesday is not even a holy day of obligation for Catholics, but the Octave of Christmas, January 1st is.

The provincial governments in charge of our single payor health care system made the conscious decision to keep the liquor marts open while banning in-person sales of tea kettles (and we call ourselves a commonwealth nation!) during a pandemic.

I think our single payor at least partially did this to themselves.

The headline said "could," so I'm going to assume the headline is clickbait and the price hike will in fact make it cheaper, or dare I say, free.

[In my best nature documentarisn voice] Behold, what appears to be moving goalposts to the outside observer is actually a side-effect of the first-past-the-post system's tendency towards two dominant parties.
