Also came here thinking this was about LoRa radio

I think you're imagining the ID thief going to the bank and withdrawing your money from your bank account (which probably happens too). I also think your analogy of a "friend" isn'…

To just straightforwardly answer your question: Move or stay wherever you want, and wherever you are, be a good community member by supporting initiatives that will help the area r…

if you clicked on the article and read even the sub-title you'd realize that your comment is ridiculous. The full title is "The Real Villain in the Gentrification Story: It’s not y…

So Anki but 1 ) it's shinier and newer, and 2) you use ML to turn cloze deletion cards into multiple choice cards? Seems interesting, although Anki is still free and incredible. Wo…

Another plug for linking... I loved Taskpaper and would be very interested in adopting Bike, but I need those sweet links/backlinks

paul millerd is great!! im on his email list and really enjoy it, but havent gotten his book yet

This is awesome! It seems like you've paid close attention to security and privacy, but I would love a clearer, stronger guarantee. "We truly cannot access your data, will never ac…

Typo in the link. Corrected link: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-cli... (Great link btw, thanks for sharing!)

Sorry if I’m missing something, but… what’s the problem with that quote? That’s a widely-used heuristic that helps to estimate doubling times without using a calculator (see [the W…

Yep, having issues

It would be more honest to say that "this is no longer true." For the majority of Gmail's existence, Gmail did use your actual email content for advertising. And Google still proce…

There is a very big difference here. In your example, you've clearly entered into someone else's property; in the case of reading the info sent to your computer... I am reading a t…

They are actively working on this and [a recent update]( https://discuss.logseq.com/t/very-slow-performance-with-larg... ) solved part of this problem. I'm not a logseq user but ha…

Google Meet is unusable on Firefox... about 1/3 of the time, 30-50min into a meeting, my whole computer starts to freeze up. Using Chrome fixes it. So now I have Chrome on my compu…

Love noteplan!

I love QBserve! It's been really useful for me (if somewhat terrifying to see the amount of time I spend on social media haha). And it's the only product I've found that is both co…

Something this article doesn't mention is that FB's glasses, because they look extremely-similar to normal glasses, will face less opposition simply because many regular people won…

Wow! This is so cool. Jeff Bridges always surprises me. He's a photographer as well, and quite good.

I agree, especially about the poor communications from leaders part... the overwhelming official message (as I have experienced it) has been "vaccines will save us". There was neve…

Surprised to hear you say that... nearly all of the privacy concerns that I've heard raised by tech people in the last decade have become reality. Just a few that come to mind: - A…

This person can comment wherever they want— and the implication of your comment (that someone is out of place or out of line for expressing opposition to digital government ID on a…

So have private corporations. The point is that government at least has a mandate to protect it's citizens. Corporations explicitly do not care... and in fact there are many situat…

A Modest Proposal indeed, and so commonsensical it's a wonder it hasn't been implemented already!

I received a safety insert when I got the vaccine. It was pretty thick, actually, and covered potential side effects and risks. This was at a Walgreens pharmacy so I assume that's …
