The demo doesn't work in safari on my mac. It sometimes gets to 2, but on refresh goes back to 1. Actually, got it up to 4 one time. Seems like the claims of "Works in any browser …

I'm confused. I also "still didn't know it was illegal" after reading the article. What was the crime? Were my parents guilty of this every time I road my bike around the neighborh…

does the mic still pick up literally everything though?

So if I find a WebKit bug in the latest iOS beta, file it with both Apple and WebKit, and get ignored, I should just fuck off? I can't fork it (Apple won't use my fork) and it's un…

It would be interesting to see how Covid impacted this.

I really like "Eat This Much". My partner and I have also been trying "Meal Prep Pro" which is a little prettier, a bit more expensive, and mobile only. The "Eat This Much" learnin…

I switched to Carbon Collective recently. Very happy with their approach and their transparency. A lot of ESGs are greenwashed, so it's nice putting my money somewhere I can actual…

TBF, that'd still be a win if it worked for all variants of the flu.

I'm friends with quite a few nurses, primarily travel nurses, and not a single one is considering a change in career that I am aware of. Simply an anecdotal counterpoint and nothin…

"Stop Venting" doesn't just "work" either. Processing your emotions and letting go of them does. David Hawkins' book, aptly named 'Letting Go,' covers this in detail.

His intentions are probably to not get eaten.

Can it be both a small business and "non-commercial in nature"? Because that's at the crux of his fair use claim I think.

Most people who's earnings are over $1mm a year are spending significant time & resources planning their tax strategy and are not paying 50% effective tax rates. Source: Trump's ta…

I would bet you most of those people are paying a lower tax rate than I am, as they're smart enough (and have the means) to shift most of their earnings to capital gains and take a…

This is misleading. Top tax rates can be as high as 50.3%, but the parent comment says they are paying 51% of their earnings. These are two different things, because of tax bracket…

This may not be entirely true. I lived in NC full time and filed taxes in CA and NY (as well as other states). Nexus is the term our accountant used.

I just read this (again) during a bit of an existential crisis. It's certainly a good read, and puts things in perspective.

I can't speak for Europeans, but in the US it greatly depends on the person. There are many who are open about seeking help, and many who would never go to a therapist. Talking abo…

Portugal is the lowest on the list. In my experience, it's also heavily biased towards cash, at least compared to the US. Perhaps the "value in Euros" is skewed because it's cheape…

This is retargeting, and is pretty much the least sophisticated ad targeting out there.

It could just be targeting. While it's possible something nefarious is going on, advertisers are really good at using available data to predict information that was never provided.…

I agree with the final paragraph in your comment. All I'm saying is let's reserve judgement until we know what happened. As for a fatality proving that due care was not taken, I ag…

Arizona requires drivers to "exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian". If a fatality results, but due care was taken by the driver to avoid it, then the tragic accid…

Not obviously. Let's wait to judge until we have the facts. The pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk. There's not a whole lot of information about the events that lead up to the…

This is a really good, simple, reason I had not even thought of. Thanks!
