If you're sure, please suggest a medical facility currently willing to accept homemade masks via USPS.

I'm worried about how many people are going to give themselves cataracts or skin burns experimenting with UV-C light sources, which are easily available on Amazon.

It's been pointed out to me that one should check with local facilities before setting off on this project, to verify that they in fact want any. My partner is a clothing designer …

I think it really depends on what you're trying to do. I'm the only person at my company running linux and I still can't really do things like seamlessly plug/unplug from an extern…

As much as the more concerned of us cringe when we hear it, "Why should I care, I have nothing to hide?" is going to be the predominant answer to that question from the majority of…

I think it's reckless to make claims like this even with genuinely useful technology because it triggers the "Arrogant engineers think tech is the answer to everything" response wh…

I'm not sure what it implies statistically, but I've now seen the aftermaths of two fairly significant (ie, left in undriveable condition) cruise car collisions just on my block in…

You joke, but a lot of auto-vs-bicycle collisions can be attributed to unexpected actions by the bicyclist, many of which probably couldn't have been compensated for by the automob…

I've never been willing to consider docker volumes persistent. In the big picture, a requirement of "posix filesystem semantics" and "persistent" is a pretty inconvenient and/or ex…

Sure, but regardless of people doing dumb things, it's still worth asking "why did docker delete non-orphaned named volumes?" -- though you could also question whether someone was …

All of it is wrong, and it's frustrating that things like this get promulgated with an authoritative voice. It seems to happen especially often about battery technology, for some r…

I think this is actually done, and I wish I could remember the godforsaken website I encountered it on.

I think to some extent Amazon's commoditization of 3rd party vendors has hurt customer confidence, though surely not enough to make up for the increase in revenue.

Furthermore many sites make it difficult to use a password manager because it's hard to block automated password guessers and not interfere with password managers trying to enter p…

This confused me for a second. "Why is my ISP playing high-pitched noises? Surely it is not their core competency."
