FaceID works with my regular glasses but some of my sunglasses do not work at all (0% unlock rate with over 100 attempts in various lighting). I think it may depend on the shape of…

To be honest this doesn't seem that hard. write an application that crawls youtube videos in some order, grab the audio and stream it to something like echonest, then strike if it …

Agree, one thing I want to clarify: - D+ will not host rated-R content, while Hulu will. Any R-rated original content produced or contracted by Disney will go directly to Hulu. Les…

Ditto on the touchpad issues. Have a 2016 XPS 13 (1st or 2nd year of the new design) that I ended up sending in 3 times for repairs due to the touchpad. Jittery, can't scroll, unre…

The 60 minutes video posted in another comment claimed that ridership was near a 70 year high, I believe EDIT: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mta-why-has-the-nyc-subway-gone...

Base salaries probably give an especially incomplete picture of total compensation for union workers, where overtime pay can be 4x your base, and benefits are nearly "cop from the …

While it does not surprise me that compensation is higher for NYC transit workers wrt national average, it is still striking that the difference is so large. I imagine the avg inco…

I saw some 9700k in stock at Microcenter in Brooklyn this morning

This brings up a somewhat related question in my mind... how is my %20 iPad tip at the coffee shop treated differently than the amount I paid? Conventionally a tip was something yo…

Somewhat related, there's a chrome extension called honey that will compare the final price (incl. tax) of all sellers for a product listing and add the best one to your cart. I've…

I think it would be better for the writer to provide specific evidence for the specific pretext. You don't need to convince me that climate change is real, but climate change is a …

A is obviously the choice here... but that's a problem if you have a lot of big fish trying to get their money but can't. The price should be tanking, but everyone is too afraid to…

Why not just put it on netplay? Faster Melee makes strides towards latency improvements but I think a little latency and instability would actually be better to teach the AI fundam…

Can you prove that it's intentional? It looks more like a very specific positioning of the character relative to the map and a lot of trial and error that is causing the cpu to kil…

Interestingly the reason they chose falcon was that he has no projectile attacks. I also remember hearing that it could only play against other falcons, and only on battlefield. Bu…

I also have an @live.com email. I think "live" was one of Microsoft's many failed services rebrands. Remember windows live messenger, windows live photo gallery? Lol

Yes. I may have not been clear, I do think BTC is in a bubble. When my 60 year old parents, who can barely figure out how to use netflix are asking me if they should buy bitcoin, t…

Same here. All of the sudden all of the college dropouts from my area are blockchain experts, talking up new coins as if they read the whitepaper (as if that is enough anyway). The…

Unfortunately fractional reserve isn't safe for a currency that is this volatile. Depending on what the "fraction" is, some major withdrawal demand against one of these exchanges w…

regardless of rates, it puts a strain on the healthcare system

Im curious as to what the response will be from regulators when these loans start to mature. I'm assuming none of these companies are 'too big to fail', and will be allowed to fall…

I respectfully disagree. I think that Uber has done a great job of hooking a large volume of consumers on their core product, and now there is a huge opportunity to leverage that b…

The conclusion I walked away with was articles that describe how insurance works need clickbaity titles.

I couldn't agree more. Look at internet speed tests. I used the ookla speed test because it was the first result until one day Google had created its own, built right into the sear…
