I always find the claim that dialects in China vary so much that people cannot understand each other very western-centric. As a native speaker, there are shockingly few dialects th…

China's national debt is definitely not 300% - checking Wikipedia it says only 48.4%. If you add ALL their debt: household, corporate, and national...then it's 317%. Please be care…

I'd take a look at this post from a few years ago about why SwayWM does not support nvidia gpus using proprietary drivers (nouveau works). https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-y…

It asks you during setup if you'd like to disable it.

It's highly unlikely that those ambulances are related to the virus. There are 0 confirmed cases in Northern Ireland, and if it was a suspected case the government and media would …

It's dismaying in the comment section to see people who are seemingly unaware of the Dickey Amendment straight up defending it. The Dickey Amendment banned the CDC from funding any…

This is a chrome flag you can toggle: omnibox-drive-suggestions Alternatively, use Firefox.

$, like someone else has said, but I also would guess that many of the engineers do not have a clear idea of the overarching functionality of the application. I'm sure internal com…

In response to your linked PDF, there are a multitude of problems that wikipedia lists about the reporting of the incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Nimitz_UFO_incident#Ske…

Throwing it in [outline.com]( https://outline.com ) has been the easiest for me so far

> Are you developing apps on it? That's a pretty niche use-case. A niche but extremely important use case, isn't it? Without app developers the platform is dead.

Is wanting to connect to your Macbook to charge your phone an obtuse use case? At the very least apple should have shipped with a USB-C to lightning cable, not USB-A.

Keeping the lightning port is what really jumped out at me. Now some iPads are going to have USB C and others are going to have lightning, all under the same umbrella product of th…

One of the complaints I've had is simply that Slack limits the viewable/searchable chat history without paying

Maybe it's a nice ease of access feature to turn the screen back on after it's turned off in the dark on the flight
