You can't find a group of people to share a lease with, but you want to live in a residence which excludes people by race or gender? Sounds like a you problem.

Why are the cities that you happen to have lived in a relevant data set here?

Certainly I would not take the television series as proof that they happened with regularity or in the way depicted.

What you are demonstrating is that already in 2003, people talking to each other during their commute was a fantasy rather than an actual occurrence.

But the New York Times on a phone is not particularly more or less addictive than the same content on a piece of paper. Nor does reading it on a phone cut anyone off from the rest of society any more than focusing on the printed paper or a book or a Walkman.

If the problem is games, social media, or porn, why don't we identify those as social problems and try to fix them? Rather than blaming the device.

I commuted by public transit for around two decades before the ubiquity of smartphones and never experienced or witnessed this.

Why is the exact device the problem?

20 years ago everyone on suburban trains would be looking at a newspaper, magazine or book throughout their journey. Then they would watch a couple of hours of TV at home. Why is 'looking at a phone' such a problem, when most of the looking replicates those activities, with much of the rest being basic utilities which didn't exist previously - consulting a map, ordering food or shopping, looking up timetables or schedules?

Are the CSVs with literal newlines in string fields in the room with us right now?

I would tell you to escape the newlines. Then you would know as much about CSV with multiline text in it as most other people in the world.

Can you provide a reproducible example of how sorting rows can lead to unrecoverable data loss?

Also, commas in quoted strings are quite mainstream csv, but csvs with quoted strings containing unescaped newlines are extremely baroque. Criticism of csv based on the assumption that strings will contain newlines is not realistic.

How would you deserialise the entity "0.4288"?

No I mean just consider the money spent on the annoying ones lost and buy another pair.

No one wants to do that but for a relatively low ticket item which one uses for hours every day it seems masochistic not to do so.

I know it's annoying to suggest that consumer preferences will fix stuff like this when clearly it comes from some corporate design culture that completely ignores consumer preference.

But in this case (a $50 device rather than a washing machine or something) why wouldn't you just get a different pair made by a different company?
