I'd guess because the market isn't really there when wire is extremely cheap and the building codes require more outlets than most people need. The wire for your sconce has already…

> I’m using macOS Y and you use macOS Z which is a pain for me to set up a VM for, if at all possible If Apple should be sued for anti-consumer behavior this is why... It costs tim…

The freakonomics podcast had a decent episode about this. They frequently host liberal economic ideas as well, so don't assume the opinions come from some landowner backed think ta…

This works until you have a bug you can't replicate on a developer machine that your CI misses. This is a common thread on open source projects: > issue opened October 2013 > __ is…

Is this sarcastic? Rent control drives up rent. It doesn't make housing cheaper, it's just NIMBYism that renters get to participate in

I want a single family home because it has no shared walls and a private backyard space for my kids and dog. It's not that hard to find condos or apartments with decent floor space…

You have to watch out for the TVs that attempt to connect to public networks. So pray your neighbors have passwords on their wifi and didn't opt in to Comcast's hotspots.

Is this equivalent to a vector backed list?

Smell-o-vision: a device that can be programmed to release smells. Here's the pitch: Art has the power to move minds, and a startup that expands the creative power of artists by le…

Consumers are free to buy other things, like yourself. It doesn't sound like regulation was necessary, as the free market provided products that fit your needs. I fundamentally dis…

Why not NaN for floating point division and INT_MAX for integer division? When you write code that may divide by zero you need to check the result afterwards (and in truly defensiv…

The hard part of electric vehicle has never been assembly - its batteries and charging. Toyota and VW can ramp up as much as they want, but they'll probably have to buy the batteri…

Buy from a competitor then

I have my debit account linked to Apple Pay too. Cash back is pretty standard, if not below other rates (I'm not even sure what qualifies as 1 vs 2 vs 3%, seems random). The disput…

There's no evidence that was the root cause of the hack. Also, you have to design for incompetence. Technical users are the most dangerous ones of all.

I have an Apple Card, I'm unsure of what immense capital they're pouring into it with an underlying ethos of user experience.

I agree it doesn't make sense to blame bankers for exploiting the legal system that allows them to enrich the rich at the expense of the poor for a commission, other than the revol…

I mean if we want to get pedantic I'm pretty sure Shannon used "backpropagation" for machine learning before either was called such. Feedback for the purpose of regulating the stat…

No, shame on Wisconsin. This entire fiasco is the result of self serving politicians doing dumb things to get a headline today while sticking their successors with the mess it caus…

Leveraging the type system with a good focus on generics as a means to achieve an ergonomic API may not be unique but well executed.

There are several piles of dirt in Cahokia. Part of the trouble is there has never been a serious attempt to uncover and restore the site. But unlike say Machu Pichu or Chichen Itz…

The braking of the cars reminds me of driving my Mom's minivan in high school, whose brake pads had been corroded by road salt.

The issue is not the algorithm but that the issues with it were identified in the days before the allotments finalized. Meaning: administrators saw that the results were dumb, and …

That thesis necessitates a shallow reading of the material, imo. ASoIAF isn't praised for its "realism" so much as the subversion of fantasy tropes that are a staple of grimdark fa…

ISOs are bonus compensation and treated a bit differently under the law than non qualified options, but point taken.
