Ok, now imagine Amazon only allowed you to list a book if it was self-published via KDP.

In addition to that one, very concrete impact, the situation may also have subtle effects. Players may be going into matches against Hans being down a point when they would have be…

It looks like this official MS Rust library adds a lot of Win32 support: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs It should work well with VS Code.

I experienced this a lot as a kid. Adults tend to leave out a lot of context in their answers to children. Often, it seems like they don’t even try to see the question from the chi…

Why does Visual Studio need to support Rust when VS Code has amazing Rust support?

Talk about moving goal posts

The top 8 players in the tournament get invited to the next tournament. Hans Niemann got a free point from the game Carlsen resigned. That impacts the standings for all the other p…

The issue isn't his belief. It's that he's throwing a tantrum and has ruined two Chess tournaments (so far). He's free to believe whatever he likes, but to resign in a match in a t…

Top athletes have a history of having mental breakdowns as they realize they've aged and no longer can dominate as they once had. Famously, Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear o…

CPUs don't have logic or reason, so it's not a good analogy. E.g. you can replace an infinite set of memories by distilling them into a few bits of knowledge that underpin that giv…

> The bare minimum to compete would be native and web apps with good UX, competitive reviews and search, and better social features. Then you can fight the other half. That does no…

I think I could write a yelp clone in 3 weeks. The product is not the hard part. Getting people to use it is.

I don’t think they consider it cheating. It’s often illegal because it is more likely to harm the fish.

In your anecdote, your comparing tourists to a local. Of course a local is going to be more productive regardless of tackle. There are a lot of anecdotes here, with very little dat…

I agree that fly fishing is beautiful, but disagree that it is an elective way to make things more difficult in the name of beauty. Most fly fishing happens in relatively shallow r…

Yes it's correct. Setting sail is an idiom.

The problem with your argument is that you’re only looking at the negatives. If you believe that weapons can only be used to kill children, then, yes, your view makes sense. If you…

I agree with your general assessment of the economy, but those are all factors everyone knows. The adjustment we saw earlier this year was going from “the economy is booming and in…

But did the bubble already burst in tech? Valuations are very low right now. I don't think we're necessarily at the bottom yet, but I think the worst has already come to pass.

But there are other cases where peoples’ lives were saved by such machines. E.g. billions of dollars in weaponry has been supplied to Ukraine to defend the country from invasion. W…

What’s the argument that being entertained by weaponry is morally comprised? The only argument I can think of would be reliant on a belief that human killing is always morally wron…

Are you sure that Lowes can't sell heated shower heads? Maybe they choose not to sell them for liability reasons.

Back feeding seems insane. Most residential circuits are rated for 15A. A 5000 watt generator can produce over 40 amps at 120V. Seems like a good way to start an electrical fire.

What other use is there for male-to-male cables?

Not necessarily. For instance, Firebase's Realtime Database doesn't scale vertically or horizontally. The only option is to create additional, entirely independent databases. It's …
