I’m still surprised we haven’t seen these types of attacks on crypto exchanges, high value wallet owners, etc.

Where are the AI based ad blockers? Would happily pay a subscription that filtered all ads and captchas.

Moonlight does this if you are just looking for a solution.

Google already has the daily trip data on a huge percentage of people and could just create and recommend bus and transit routes and times based on people’s existing commutes. Sure…

Pretty much all modern video/audio/image codecs are, look at HEIC for example.

This isn’t some conspiracy, it’s about money. JPEG XL is likely patent encumbered and this including it may require paying licensing fees. The companies involved can’t admit that b…

Another issue with this is that the part that fails often is poorly designed or not durable in the first place. So you spend money and time to replace it and then it will just fail…

I think the best way to find repairable and long lived products is to buy commercial grade when possible or look at what gets used by contractors. The types of things that get used…

A charging EV can draw 30-50 amps @220V, much more than a kettle…

I think at least the ultrasonic parking sensors that are on pretty much every other car are pretty cheap.

on that note, is anyone ever voluntarily, knowingly clicking the “accept all” other than to dismiss these? Like why not just legislate that you can’t do the kind of tracking they a…

The USDA doesn’t have a recommendation for protein (yet does for added sugar is if some is “needed”), that’s a big part of the problem.

I have a pet theory that one reason people overeat is because they are unconsciously trying to get more protein. So eating tons of donuts or chips etc doesn’t satiate and they eat …

Things are worse when you get to the details. The cars try to stay at 20-80% charge, so off the bat you somewhat “lose” 40% of the actual full stated range. And charging takes hour…

What if Reddit took their site down as a counter protest?

It would be interesting if libraries could be used for this purpose. Most close early so they could be used in the evenings for social gatherings, etc.

It’s unlikely the SEC wants to totally nuke Coinbase, given they allowed them to list on the stock exchange. Or else Investors would sue the SEC for securities fraud… probably have…

I was/am like this too. I’d say one of the most fun/challenging things to do was to take something broken and try to repair it. Requires you to understand how to disassemble carefu…

Same experience here, though it was just regular intense exercise, not a return to exercise. Of course the doctor sort of chuckled and laughed when I theorized this as the cause of…

Wouldn’t it just be better for them to invest in more equities, like an investment bank?

The argument that the US stock market always goes up over relatively long periods of time seems somewhat flawed to me. If it were true that it was always best to invest in US stock…

Do you ever watch political debates? The answers to many questions there are totally nonsensical. So probably the same reason is just “politics”.

Except Amazon is in a hiring freeze. Musk knows now is the time to make “unreasonable” demands.

Many other companies are laying off now, and FAANG is in a hiring freeze. Sellers market right now for employment.

I think you have it backwards. This is how you accomplish a 75% reduction while only having to lay off (and pay severance for) 50%! Musk again playing 4d chess.
