    Yah this sounds like a leaky microwave interfering with the 2.4GHz band. I've had it happen with older microwaves in university housing interfering with the ubiquiti APs that they …

    Wouldn't this just be a classic case of survivorship bias? For every Amazon and Facebook there could be a number of companies that did similar things and fell apart.

    There are still aim bots in lol because there are aimed skill shots for most of the champions. Scripting is abilities is probably the main method of cheating though. This anti chea…

    I know you reference your introductory notebook throughout your docs but I think it would be helpful to include some of the plots inline in your docs. Seeing that this lib is built…

    Is it worth formatting my external flash media as exFAT at this point if I find myself dual booting often? NTFS on Ubuntu is pretty well covered so that has been what I have been u…

    This is an interesting theory. Probably one of the more plausible ones. I imagine some sort of biological or toxicological attack could cause some sound processing related symptoms…

    To be really sure it would be a good idea to have one person enclose the tablets in the envelopes and a different person to administer them to you. But I suspect that there might b…

    The article mentions that the hackers stole 500MB? The number seems small given the scale of storage in modern computers but I guess 500MB could account for a large number of docum…

    Have you looked into the plaid[0] free(test) tier? They hook into a bunch of different banks and the free tier exposes balance and transaction history. [0]: https://plaid.com/

    I was never really into podcasts until I started my current job and commuting regularly. After a while I noticed that listening to music was beginning to fuel my frustration with o…

    The quote that you included as part of [1] doesn't seem to be present in the article you linked. Getting down to your question I am not sure the fault lies with those who are wonde…

    Are you saying that Tim Horton's doesn't claim to be Canadian for PR and media attention? Because that is basically the core of their marketing, to be synonymous with Canadian cult…

    I would also recommend the MIT calculus courses on edX. It has been a great refresher for me since the last I looked at calc was 8 years ago.
