The odd thing is that in most countries the age of consent is below (sometimes significantly below) 18. So we’ve got strange mixed signals.

Commonly electrical systems and/or the battery itself in ICEs cause unattended fires.

I think your response is emotionally-charged and mixes feelings with data and anecdotes, which is unhelpful in a complex discussion of a sensitive topic, so I hesitate to engage fu…

This is not true and a harmful generalization. There are dumb people of every type. There are probably smart people you respect that engage in CSAM and are minor-attracted. This ki…

I've commented on it before, but I have to say again, the Timescale Helm charts are by far the best way I've ever seen a database run in Kubernetes, and actually from an operations…

I brought timescale (a postgres extension that brings time series to postgres) to my current IoT job, and it has been the biggest engineering win of my career. The tooling, communi…

I brought Timescale to my current job, and I have to plug their Helm charts. They have made deployment, backup, scaling, and config so easy on k8s for Timescale. Probably the best …

Yes, there was a midterm held in 1918.

If you're referring to the WFH situation staying with us forever, it definitely will not. Things may change somewhat, but in discussing WFH with a variety of execs who employee ten…

Again referring to Go's imperfect but interesting handling of this problem, the style in Go would be: data, err := open("/var/foo") if err != nil.... In fact, the compiler will mak…

Though I don't think it's perfect, languages like Go that treat errors as simply another type and you check as a return value do get closer to treating errors and success symmetric…

It's incredible the quality you can get in that price range. I bought a PRS SE Custom 24 for $700 and it is like a museum piece compared to what $500-700 would have bought when I w…

I realize you've made a weak straw man argument here, but there are important distinctions that need to be made in discussions about platform/user base moderation. While there are …

I run multi terabyte, billions of rows HA postgres in kubernetes using a helm chart and Patroni (baked into the chart), which uses the native k8s API for automatic failover and pgb…

Because it's possible that there are many, many infected who don't seroconvert or ever manifest symptoms, and therefore would not have been tested with a PCR test, and would have a…

There is no "death rate" metric. There is CFR (case fatality rate) and IFR (infection fatality rate). We know that there are many more infections than known cases, and serological …

We have no idea what the required percentage of infection is for herd immunity, given that we don't know what percentage of people are naturally immune or resistant, what percentag…

IFR is not a fixed value and is affected by many things. For example, intial viral load may be higher in NYC than many other places, vitamin D levels, air pollution, etc. There is …

Have you tried Kotlin?

Being a cop is exceedingly safer than many professions where we don't bend the standard of protecting human life like we do for cops. About the same amount of lumberjacks die in th…

Marsh v. Alabama is not relevant in this case, so says the Supreme court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Community_Access_Cor...

Why is it not possible? New platforms are started and grow all the time. For example, TikTok only came out in 2016 and is massive.

You already cannot discriminate against a customer because of certain characteristics of who they are (race, orientation, etc). You can however kick someone out of your restaurant …

There is no free speech on private social media platforms
