    Because it provides a different perspective, figuratively. I think that might also be a reason why HFR movies feel weird for some people, it's very much a comfort zone.

    Not implementing DHCPv6 is not "inconsistent" it's from the start a thing you should NOT rely on existing.

    I think people that have taken personal offense using IPv6 or when people are suggesting that IPv6 should be used instead, have stymied IPv6 adoption. It's not the opposing side's …

    Well one thing is a "pause" in production, another one is total and final cancellation. Has any of the NF titles been resurrected yet?

    It very very likely messes up the magnetometer or even breaks it completely (I've managed that myself).

    People looking at data often ignore that every user uses a specific subset of the total subset of features or content. Just as a simplistic example, user set A wants content `x` an…

    If things like Star Trek were canceled season three, it'd never have reached such masses, it was a niche show at start but now there's even actual new generations watching The Next…

    It goes into the same category as criticizing C's memory safety. The errors do say a lot about the tech being prone of misuse, and that's not really a good thing.

    They're "Spotify premium" ads though.

    On free version, it also adds somewhat random "recommended songs" to an album playlist.

    With the music playlists I just really really want a button that would mark certain songs as "I like them, but not so often". Disliking makes certain artists and styles fall totall…

    You need to counter-train the algorithm to get useful results out of it basically. Keep ignoring those videos, mark them as boring, refresh the page, etc. do content discovery the …

    They do have schizophrenic A/B testing though. Just recently they started playing the exact same ads but sometimes they have a few syllables messed up. I think I now have first-han…

    I don't think it's the ratios like 1/20 to 1/40 that are the cause, it's children in those classes. There was a HN thread about magnet/gifted schools and how they made a night-and-…

    Somewhat. If the gifted kids can socialize among themselves then that certainly is more beneficial. In theory it'd be nice to only interact with people like oneself but I don't see…

    The sage-on-a-stage also comes with socializing both during and after lessons, that can't be replaced with computers. If anything, I think it'd cause a lot more sadness than the cu…

    Try debugging CORS, CSP or SRI failures in FF. Much much more painful.
