and he didn't think to turn off his speaker after the flight crew requested all BT devices to be turned off repeatedly? or was it one of those in-ear headphones that are borderline…

I do not believe the 90% is anywhere an accurate number. Those arseholes exist, no question, but I believe the number is much lower. Even if I am quite pedantic about people cyclin…

Here's a source for that. I also remembered it. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-human-on-a-bicy...

Same is true for Qobuz. Pays artists really well, is EU located, but their applications (although they support a lot of platforms) are still a little rough around the edges.

Oh, the good old days. Where you could find these ftp servers with legal portscans and default credentials.

It feels very weird to read that Musk has "better intentions". Better intentions than Altman, or than all the stuff he is saying and doing?

I wouldn't use the webui for that. Getting rid of onedrive in favor for a self-hosted nextcloud, I used the native client to download all the files on the machine and then moved th…

Because they are stating this story as something negative, some drawback. Perhaps it is, for them, but that's where the context and perspective should come in. To me it sounds like…

But even the grades are highly contextual. I am unfamiliar with how much they vary across the US, but usually grades depend a lot on the university itself and the professors teachi…

I am truly happy for them, but I would like to see that this is placed in the appropriate context for this public forum. From an international viewpoint, this is the exception, not…

Assume there are countries, where the usual path looks a little different. The US is not a standard for all things. In some regions you usually don't start studying at a university…

Are you aware of how privileged you are?

if you really want to use a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Or use open solutions that you can connect to any service on the internet you want, even your own. As my citizen science example somewhere.

It seems this wasn't mentioned before, but in Germany some communal open data labs created instructions on how to build an air quality sensor setup and a corresponding map visualiz…

She is also writing from an incredibly privileged point of view. Taking language courses for 500USD and more is not something most people can afford and is really the exception. Th…

Sorry, coming back to this comment quite late. Duolingo usually offers some introductory notes for each unit, where stuff like this should be described. I agree that the progressio…

Not particularly, but I have used chat GPT to explain grammatical concepts to me that baffled me before, or that baffled someone else and I, as a native speaker, was unable to expl…

Sorry, but this is an incredibly ignorant comment. If you can say "the bear is vegetarian", you are most likely able to say "I am vegetarian", too. Everyone of those silly sentence…

At the very least they are similar in the way they pretend that these concepts are not translatable.
