    Replace 2 word instruction ('be concise') with a 38 word instruction. Human can no longer be concise when asking for a few sentences instead of 20 paragraphs of BS they don't want …

    Or do something to make it so that payment processors must process payments for anything legal, without any say in the matter. Probably get sued up to the Supreme Court like pharma…

    It is defined in the article the first time it is used in the text. Maybe they read your comment and fixed it?

    agree; defined long acronym immediately in article. i'll probably read the test, but that's some high quality posting from the get-go!

    I would suggest defining any acronyms in the title of an article in the introduction section of the article. Had to get to PART 6 to answer my first question: What is an "ROV"? "Th…

    What surprises me is that it has taken the US Gov. so long to act on this. And even more than that, that it took the Telcos so long -- and they've still barely done anything. It is…

    Sounds about right. I played off and on for a month or so; through a few updates. There had/have been recurring problems with elevators and inventory. I would get ejected into spac…

    Could almost mistake it for an NVidia advertisement if you don't read past the headline and picture. "With AMD" you can't see the picture clearly.

    sounds a bit like a pilaf, but with less water for the final step. What is the final product like? normal rice or something else?

    I've been less trusting of WireCutter reviews lately. Still see so many of these strange brands listed when I go in to read a review, combined with no real long term testing. Lack …

    I don't fully I agree. This seems like it has it's place, but there is very high value in a Unit Test that can run with no dependencies outside of your compiler/interpreter. Especi…

    There are tons of older hybrids out there that also use very large batteries. Prius has been around for 20+ years, i believe. If the technology works well (i guess the ones not spe…

    US has this too, most hardware stores, and some offices. Some people are just lazy or don't know.

    I have to disagree with your big assumptions: 1. " I guess we all agree that drugs are obviously bad for society as a whole." I don't think drugs are good or bad for society. There…

    Maybe the most brilliant time to rebrand; always have that "it was really just a joke" line to fall back on.

    Interesting. I think I have the opposite issue. I try to get FOV in to 85 - 110 range. Otherwise i feel sick (or i need to sit far back from the monitor, which i can't really do on…

    I actually wonder why this isn't done. Pre-rendering the scenes on the server and then sending those is just not really possible today due to latency -- even google can't get it ri…
