How many people need to be affected, in your opinion, to have a bonafide emergency?

my lights turn themselves on gradually, with the sunset. They also turn themselves off if they're still on late at night, or when I leave the house.

I was buying expensive wired earbuds long before airpods were a thing. if anything, they normalized spending $200 on audio equipment. passive audio protection > active sound cancel…

I'm lightly amused by the choice to include the word "limited" in the headline. Sorry, "limited" ads are still ads, no matter how you try and downplay it!

Because software is more complicated. And more complicated software (in addition to the primary effect of being complicated) is further slowed by abstraction and indirection, which…

It's a control. A baseline. That's the whole point. And especially with the therapy trials they're running, its not like it'll hurt people to have been given a placebo (unlike if y…

what, like all of the palm oil that's now in chocolate?

I don't think anybody is saying that you should have to go to jail for everytime you said something dumb! But if you are going to be acting anticompetitively, it sure is a dumb ide…

Is anyone surprised by this? I'm reminded of two emails zuck was famous for sending. The first email incorporated the use of such banned verbiage. The second email, sent just a han…

> A senior engineer should make evidence based decisions, as should any engineer. ... sooo there is no distinction between a senior engineer and a non-senior engineer? you've reall…

Your premise is flawed. If I create a new nation and my nations social contact is one norm: no outsiders, then you can't simply be a national by agreeing to the contract. In practi…

The latest drug epidemic was caused by the pharma industry hooking people on oxy, and then the government clamping down on legal supply. Addicted people are still addicted and will…

Not paying pensions should be illegal. I think after Sears and the rest, people prefer money now vs money later. But if I knew the money was good, I'd rather not manage it myself.

Why edit the title? This article is barely about the hosting costs. And also yes, it's well-known wiki has very healthy revenue despite it's desperate sounding pleas for donations.…

Have you looked at how the tech giants before you have solved this issue?

The biggest thing copilot needs is the ability to toggle it off in VSCode with a keyboard shortcut. You can trigger a 'disable copilot' popup from a command, but not a full-fledged…

I find it a little strange that xdesk is so staunchly opposed to affiliate programs. I can see now they would see this as a "kickback" scheme though I don't know I personally agree…

HIPPA protects medical records, which isn't so much as 'collected' as much as they are generated (and held) on behalf of the patient. So, I'd say this is a pretty disingenuous read…

grounds are fantastic in an active composting environment. they make really great, nutrient-rich soil. less so for indoor plants with their tiny, relatively sterile environment. In…

imagine the turmoil that would break out in tech if there was such radical salary transparency?

I'm sorry, you're saying that in the same way children shouldn't need to vote, women shouldn't need to, vote? Or are you arguing that children should be involved like this and more…

Iirc they had amended the Constitution specifically with vague wording because Montana has historically been exploited by large corporations, and they wanted to make it easy for ci…

it sounds like you're referring to Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder" from their album "Random Access Memories." The segment you're describing involves a repetitive chord progression…

Switched on Pop dived into Daft Punk[1] and definitely identified Daft Punk's robot voices as vocoder. Actually, most robot voices are. [1] https://open.spotify.com/episode/52t5WCs…

because go developers are sick of being pure and like to type shorter things (and I don't mean variable names) to get their jobs done. programming is a lazy hobby. it's why as soon…
