I think this is accurate, a big chunk of the vote seems to be "my bills/food/rent went up when Blue in office, Red says they _will_ fix it, so let's try Red" Of course not statisti…

The era of having startup founders both immediately accessible on social platforms (X/Twitter, Discord, etc.) and overly willing to share their opinions is a messy one. It's hard e…

Just a bit of feedback: The first job I saw on the page proclaimed "48 tech stacks" which immediately horrified me. That is, until I clicked on it and realized it's 48 different pi…

It's not entirely obvious from OP's link, but it appears this offering is from 2005 or earlier (see this page listed in the "News" section: http://www.biyubi.com/computadora.html )…

I'm not sure where you have this impression from, but I can assure you that in many non-urban areas getting fiber (hikari) is a non-option. Many folks resort to LTE or WiMax to com…

Nothing the previous poster says implies that they are okay with wasting energy in other ways and it in no way diminishes the fact that Bitcoin (and other PoW cryptocurrencies) use…

I generally agree on not choosing dividend stocks (a solid ETF can include a reasonable dividend payout, which feels more like a bonus), but just a note that the tax rate on qualif…

English/foreign words are commonly adopted nowadays, especially for naming of products and places.

In addition to the alternatives others have mentioned, the author of `scoop` also has a package available for `scoop` named `sudo`, described as "An approximation of the Unix sudo …

I'm not sure why the downvotes (or at least I don't think they're warranted). I love the project, but the name is ridiculous and honestly makes it a tough sell to bring in new memb…

+1, would have much rather seen a function-based interface for DOM manipulation than this monstrosity.

The pricing ($12/mo) is rather steep compared to other productivity/planning/todo apps on the market (Trello @ $0, TickTick @ $2.79, Any.do & Todoist @ ~$3, etc.). While this produ…

Semantics for sure, but while value is perhaps represented by currency by what people are willing to pay and sell for. Others have different metrics for determining value -- "value…

It's more difficult to wrap our heads around, but stocks face "value inflation" much like currencies do. You can think of stocks similar to a currency exchange to the extent that a…

I'm not sure why you cite Japan as an outlier regarding size preferences and smaller-than-average hand sizes, which I generally do not believe to be true and could not find any har…

Agreed, I think looking at the Python 2 and 3 migration catastrophe gives a glimpse into what this could look like, but I imagine it would be much worse given the types of (large) …

One of the major reasons for hosting the Olympics is tourism, so without an audience, it's just a very expensive show to put on.

> New tests that produce produce results in 10-15 minutes are becoming available, but even with the improved tech, under the current policy a test will only be administered in the …

For those with a strong desire to use ` ` but also want to support legacy browsers, there's (almost) always a polyfill. In this case: https://scottjehl.github.io/picturefill/

I think it's important to realize that, and it's mentioned in the video linked, individuals staying in these apartments are making a deliberate choice so that they can have a bette…

I couldn't gleam this information easily from the article, but I presume these surveys were given to each age group at the same time. If that's correct, couldn't age (specifically …

It's not clear by this comment if you live in Japan, but if you do, it's quite common to have a hanko even for foreign names (custom made, of course, ~￥1000+). If you live in the U…

For important hanko seals used in Japan (for business, loans, etc.) they are registered with the local ward office so that wouldn't be an issue.
