    Nice! I've been looking for a reliable book ranking site. The main rankings skew to the "classics" that don't always hold up (looking at you Moby Dick) but the books in the genre f…

    If you're looking for some good quality "expert reviews their field as represented in movies" videos without too much clickbait, Vanity Fair has a long playlist of them that I enjo…

    The parent is assuming that you can always sell your option to someone else for its fair value. If that's the case, there would never be a time where it's optimal to exercise a cal…

    This is covered at the very end of the article, in the "Comparison with Doom and Quake" section. And yes, that's exactly the comparison and distinction the author draws, and they e…

    For what it's worth, Wealthfront's HYSA offers free same-day transfers, at least to major banks (they just need to support RTP transfers, which many do). But I agree with your poin…

    Not sure about "most," but I have this exact restriction at work. I don't think it's extremely rare.

    I've used Input Sans for years. I was expecting to have to deal with alignment issues but in my Java codebase there were almost none. (YMMV depending on language and coding style.)…

    I'm surprised that this made the front page. This is the investing equivalent of someone new to programming writing a single benchmark of some if statements versus a switch and blo…

    When I left for the second drive, the car's navigation app estimated I'd have 13% left when I arrived, and the estimates have been impressively good so I just went for it. But I al…

    Just yesterday I drove 75km in -22C, parked outside all day, then back home the same distance in -19C. Took my Model Y from 80% to 12%. No problem with heat either (that's part of …

    "A random password stored in a password manager is literally what a passkey is." This is not quite true; a passkey is still somewhat more secure than a password in this scenario. W…

    "Natural materials such as wood or stone feel so much nicer than concrete or glass." To you. But not to me, which is why I choose to live in a house with glass and metal as the pri…

    I think it's hideous and I wouldn't want to live there. There's nothing "wrong" (nor "right") about the idea that lots of bold colors will tend to clash and be unpleasant. It's jus…

    That was my first thought too. But even at that speed, we have quite a bit of time. Since the particles are 0.01% slower than the light that just reached us, the particles would ar…

    Can you help me understand how this would help? The way I see it: if the government were on board with recording property boundaries in a public ledger, it could do it without a bl…
