For some reason, I can't get wireless CarPlay to work on my '21 Q5. Only wired.

In my country, customs is charged on CIF - Cost, Insurance, Freight, so that's probably the correct treatment. Not sure if that's the case in Brazil.

Was just about to post this. I listened to this yesterday, and it squares with what GP said about alcohol raising his BP.

I'm pretty sure this study was mentioned in a recent episode of EconTalk, where the guest was talking about statistical significance, p-hacking, etc. I'm Jamaican, so I perked up w…

Ah, I must have been mistaken. Dziękuję!

> There's no need to know the singular for pierogi, because no one has ever eaten just one. Ain't that the truth! My Polish friend also introduced me to 'pierogi rooski'? Apparentl…

I spent two weeks in Poland last summer. Might I recommend Zakopane, hell, the entire Tatra Mountains region while we're at it? Absolutely spectacular.

Down in Jamaica

I'm Jamaican. My mom (64) says that when she was growing up, it was standard practice to hammer nails into the soles of the dead, so their spirits couldn't "walk".

>the logical thing to ask first is "what do they understand that I don't understand?". There's even a name for this: "Going from D to C - from disparagement to curiosity". I think …

I'm from Jamaica, and grew up eating lots of lychees as well. Never had any problems. Only ate them ripe. I haven't had fresh lychees in years though, mostly now buying the canned …

At home when I'm all plugged in, I have 3 Chrome windows, each with multiple tabs, spread across my PLP setup. Whenever I pop into a client, and awake from sleep, you can almost se…

Was a 2% drop really that noticeable?

I have an Asus 21:9 29", 2560x1080, not 3440x1440 like the LG you mention (which I've considered). The extra width is nice, and the aspect ratio is perfect when watching movies, bu…

Sometimes, I put something in the freezer for a quick (30 mins) cooldown. Me being me, I'll forget about it aso soon as I close the freezer. I've lost several beers that way. Now? …

>but there should be an "I'm not a normie" switch somewhere... Which will then summarily be used by malware authors and we're back we started.

Fascinating - I'd have thought the opposite. Any examples?

I'm back at school now, having dropped out after first year CS in 2006. The best quote I've heard on the subject, probably from patio11, was something to the effect of "there's no …

Man, this brings back memories. My first job - started out as a summer intern at an MVNO. We needed access via RDP to the host carrier's billing platform, so we needed to establish…

Would't using them require application support, like how DAWs support the Mackie Control protocol, among others?

Mike, you're one of my favourite commenters on HN. But this is one of your concepts that I've never been able to wrap my head around. Specifically: >....business-driven software en…
