The US pays much more for drugs than any other country. I guess one possibility is that no one has any leverage and big pharma is able to charge Americans more because they're rich…

I always wondered why almost all the kids bikes sold in Canada have coaster brakes. I actually thought all kids bikes had coaster brakes until I saw some at Decathlon with hand bra…

Not mine. I just happened to hear about it from a colleague recently.

An even more recent one from Google: https://github.com/google/minimalloc

"minimum standard of 2 meters that was still in place when Paris 2024 plans were approved; but below the new World Aquatics minimum of 2.5 meters." Although the recommendation has …

Zelenskyy seems to have risen to the occasion.

What I mean is this movie is so bad it will ruin it for the next "Coyote" movie, so they don't want anyone to see this movie. Maybe the only compromise that works is to put it in a…

There is some value in not having a "Coyote vs. Acme" film released this year (either by Netflix or the Library of Congress) because they could try to make a profitable version soo…

I think your first proposal addresses the root cause. But the second proposal - forcing municipalities to write options with unlimited potential losses - is silly. The whole point …

According to the article: "all charges that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government." So they wouldn't need to include your school excise t…

That's basically what Audi has (at least in some older models): it's a scroll wheel that also works as a d-pad. It works pretty well with Android Auto (no experience with Apple Car…

Singapore has this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Development_Network , although I'm not sure how successful hikikomori will be at these events...

And for this particular attack, constant time isn't even enough! You would need either constant power, or limit the frequency when running secure code (which again reduces performa…

Until consumers demand this as a requirement, it won't happen. Almost everyone would rather have a compiler/language/OS/ISA/CPU that's finishes faster some of the time, rather than…

I shall invoke Godwin's law, and compare this to IBM supplying Nazi Germany with computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_World_War_II Do you honestly believe that the righ…

Paying someone to plan a trip for you is definitely not a product, so not a MVP. Running a course is closer to a full-fledged product (more than a MVP) for a company that sells cou…

I think to actually poison the well, we should add code to existing repos with dead code clearly labelled as "the way that things shouldn't be done" that are wrong in subtle ways. …

Like a kind of inflation that devalues both code written and associated technical debt.

Do we know for a fact that the investors sold the equity back to the founder and not the company (like a stock buyback)? The investors just wanted to get out, so tracking down form…

But only the best examples of GPT-3 output will be worth putting on the web, so even without any code improvements in future GPT-x models you can still expect an improvement in qua…

I don't think there was a way to hide this from Twitter once it was executed, since each hacked account got a password reset email. Assuming that you can't hide it from Twitter, th…

I think your anecdote only shows how much discretion the immigration department has in enforcing the law. That same discretion could easily go the other way if someone were to emba…
