Sure, do you want evidence that generic manufacturers don't follow strict quality control and equivalency testing? I can dig those up from the FDA's database. Do you want evidence …

I believe 13% of people+families survive under $12k/year in the U.S, i.e poverty. Stretching $7k with one person living in a city, is by no means impossible. Extremely uncomfortabl…

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I got flagged for "posting too often," and just gave up after not being able to post this for a few hours: Qubes is marketed as a VM for the "interme…

Living off $12k is not in any realm of "impossible" in a first world country. It may come as a surprise (halfly sorry for the snark), but most of the world (60%) lives under less t…

I'm not sure you've personally used "'pretty good'" treatment. There's a reason why generics and off-branded items are so cheap, and it's not because they don't do marketing. If yo…

YES, BUT WHOSE SITES ARE THESE? I had a tough time trying to find some of these websites, like "Scale." Which doesn't own scale.com or scale.io or any other derivative, but "scalea…

I did too and I got "Kodi | Open Source Home Theater" On https://www.searx.me/

The greatest trick the devil ever played, was to convince everyone he was stupid. The second part of Hanlon's Razor, was to not rule out malice.

It's a cultural-fit thing. You can, but there are the zealous who will deny you.

With full snark intended: "Yeah, just ask Kalanick."

Hey, this is neat! Unfortunately, after skimming the changelog, it still seems they're trotting along with Xen, and any "intermediate IT" person would still be using a bespoke solu…

I think anyone that's looking for porn on Google is too lost to save. Polite society has moved on to better SERPs like Bing, Yandex, and thou that shalt not be shared. And that mor…

Not really. If you know the patterns threat actors are using to deanonymize you, you can spoof yours to mimic the mean. You can even spoof them to create "writing profiles" for eac…

Hosts list. Doesn't work as well on mobile. Unsure how Waze does their ads, but on mobile you get a white box with "Couldn't load!" or something of that sort instead of no ad at al…

> I read the whole thing and all I came away with is that basically no one has a fucking clue Careful! You may be onto something here.

I tried doing this, but many subreddits have a restriction against account ages. I frequently find myself being unable to post (or I am, but my posts are in the "shadows" with no n…

I disagree that glue is expensive and complex. When you build a ply-wood tower in school to see who's holds up the most to compression, you don't douse your entire structure in glu…

As right you are, strange times call for stranger measures. I would post this in the relevant IRC, but he's unresponsive and seems to be neglecting his duties, once again fallen vi…

"Stratechery." When I first read it, it sounded like a break-down on startup founders' stretching of their "trajectory" as a sure thing. This includes their "strategy," i.e their w…

Anything sufficiently complex can be broken down into simpler pieces. This includes most developer generalists.

Chris_wot lashing out like a rabid hyena at anyone who gets near the contrarian carcass he's been picking at for a while now. May I suggest a break from whatever stimulants you may…

Retort: That's where you're wrong! If we hooked up nine mothers to one single faetus, we could get the job done in 9 months.[0] The same way, if we hooked up our dev teams to a lea…

You don't get to live under daddy's roof unless you're following his rules. If you rise into the same industry as your father, with your career-minded father guiding you along the …

It is not that it cannot be translated into knowledge by professionals, it's that they'll never be able to comprehend what exactly is going on unless they've also suffered from men…
