Headline discusses missiles (which are topical); the article is mostly about radars in F-35s, and admits halfway through it's because a procurement schedule slipped. This is just c…

Bets with a positive edge can be found most commonly via sports betting, poker games, and the stock market. Although note that most bets you can find via such methods do not have a…

Not exactly on topic, but I have to endorse mise; it's a really, really great tool that solves a number of different problems. Example: I was recently working on a large project th…

> Jani Patokallio runs gyrovague.net in order to harass people who provide useful public services. I mean...investigating who runs secretive yet popular websites is a useful public…

I'm absolutely open to the argument that Jani has does something wrong, but nothing you've said has really even accused them of anything. If you want to define doxing narrowly (as …

As someone else noted, Amazon sent a cease and desist letter when someone tried more-or-less the same thing on them ( https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-perplex..…

I mean, I'm inclined to think Amazon was wrong over the Comet browser thing too, so...

> When Amazon can buy stuff on your own website thats out of stock for wholesale prices without your knowledge, it's time to get your shit together. Your shop software is at least …

Odd story. If you strip out the "Amazon" and "AI" stuff, the core seems to be that there's a tech company offering a service called Buy For Me which crawls various merchants who op…

I mean, the S in CFS stands for "syndrome", which is "a set of medical signs and symptoms which are correlated with each others [...] When a syndrome is paired with a definite caus…

I don't think that's quite right? There's been a fair amount of evidence pointing at possible issues, but there's no clear answer due to poor (or just different) study design, smal…

I mean, you can screw it up using SI units too! Eg https://x.com/HaydenDonnell/status/1503916925713547264 > A strapping newborn baby boy is understood to have set a New Zealand rec…

I'm using it from NZ and Australia and found it blazing fast. No lower than Google certainly! I wonder if it'd be worth reaching out to Kagi support.

Fundamentally both "gambling" and "insurance" are about trading a stream of small guaranteed payments for a chance at receiving a large payment. More generally, it's about trading …

That's not entirely fair. The problem is that Google forces actual good cooks to make their recipes look like worthless blogspam, but a good original recipe is not actually worthle…

Also a happy customer, but I didn't know about that feature. That's quite useful; thanks for mentioning it.

I sympathise with the author and agree that there are some pretty terrible stories and numbers floating around, but the unstated premise of the article seems to be: The game indust…

People interested in this might also be interested in Orion from the Kagi team: https://kagi.com/orion/ Orion is built on Webkit, has a focus on privacy, built in ad blocking, and …

That isn't what your linked graph shows. Slightly different hypothetical: World 1: Men evaluate women on highly idiosyncratic scales. They "like" women in the top 53% of their pers…

Again, you're assuming that men and women are using the app in the same way, and that a "like" means the same thing. If you assume that women typically only "like" men they would b…

Absolutely not. If anything, that's further evidence of my point, and I literally almost mentioned it before deciding my comment was getting a bit rambling already. Anyhow, assumin…

Such statistics can be difficult to parse. Hypothetical: Person A chats with five people. Two seem okay, two seem like poor choices, one seems unhinged and is quickly blocked. Of t…

I would be somewhat skeptical of that without hard evidence. It's certainly trivial to find (many, many) examples of single men complaining that there are literally no women in the…

I mean, given a roughly 1:1 gender ratio that would be difficult to be entirely true. And I suspect if you speak with many women, you'll get some pretty strong pushback on this. Mo…

Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm. Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issue…
