Do you have a source for that? Or any more info? It’s not that I doubt it, I ask because some details like my work email, job title and place of employment has been leaking into th…

You’re not wrong. I think the problem here is that the context of who we’re talking to is missing. I only talk to people in this way who I know well and do the same with me, I have…

Hmm I totally get where you’re coming from but I have used a “hi” in the past to basically probe and figure out if a friend or colleague is available for real time conversation bec…

Ah yup, I definitely read that in the context of undergraduate degrees, I think you’re probably right.

It’s not just the atmosphere that’s an issue though, having a laser in earth’s orbit track something on mars’ surface and vice versa would require some incredible tracking, it woul…

I was reading the example of UC Berkely appearing to have gender bias in the admissions and read the following: “it showed that women tended to apply to more competitive department…

I was with you until you said it’s disgusting, how is it disgusting to put an extreme emphasis on health, when it’s been neglected for like all of human history. Like sure, maybe i…

I think you might be experiencing a bit of a dunning-kruger effect Also, in my experience there’s a huge difference between having an intuition for something and having an understa…

It’s not clear which part of the comment you meant when you said it’s not true, but PTFE is a PFAS, exactly how toxic it is or isn’t I don’t think is well known yet but people have…

To be fair many of the games on this list would be trivial to preserve as long as windows remains backwards compatible with older software, and not too hard even after that. Breath…

I think you’re right in general but in Australia and I think some other places as well we have a 10c refund on plastic bottles made out of PET (Also glass and aluminium) Most of ou…

It’s actually hilarious how easy it would be to catch the criminals if they don’t take extra precautions like wearing masks. Just have some fake wifi looking cameras in easy to spo…

I’ve seen people cooling solar panels by using coreflute/Fluteboard at the back of a panel and circulating pool water through the channels. I think I saw this on Linus Tech Tips we…

I live in Aus as well, and I don’t expose myself to News Corp at all. Can you explain to me what the heck the issue is? We have so much space and we don’t need that much more solar…

I wasn’t talking down the financial aspect of your comment, I was saying that the language you use is so idiosyncratic with that community that, in being an outsider, I can’t tell …

No, I really don’t, and most people probably don’t. My job has absolutely nothing to do with finance, luckily.

The state of the crypto world is such that i genuinely can’t tell if you’re being satirical by using a bunch of jargon and acronyms that mean nothing in the order you used them, or…

I don’t disagree if you only think about cars, but I’ve seen a lot of smaller electric vehicles gain popularity very quickly. Things like escooters and electric bicycles. For some …

I once threw a weight with a transformer wire and some string attached to it over a high tree branch in my yard to see if it would make a decent antenna for my SDR, it worked! It w…

Huh, I guess I live in the EU now…

> Leaving space in fronto of you and trying to keep a constant speed also reduces this effect I would like to see some sources on that claim. Or some reasoning. The thing is I live…

I used to listen to so many podcasts, and I would put up with the occasional ad read by the podcasters and baked into the audio When dynamic ads became a thing in podcasts I was sh…

I think theories are worth considering and discussing. Often the cause of a phenomenon has multiple causes but we humans and especially our media like to imagine every single event…

You make some excellent points… but I wish I could block all text messages that have links in them. I know this wouldn’t work for everyone but it would be a brilliant option for me…

Java is probably the language I use the most but I hate how much boilerplate it has. Something I’ve found to help with that is using Java Records instead of classes, a record is ki…
