Sad seeing this comment greyed out, I have friends who are journalists and they lament this all time. The media model always had this strain in it on the fringes but now it's prevalent everywhere in a world of A/B tested headlines

The Venezuelan government can print money too. I really doubt people who get the the face value money back while the value of the money plummets are going to be fooled. How many people will like the price of petrol and iphones doubling ove

This is great. Always love seeing what can be accomplished with just a shell. Wish I could get more time to work on micro-optimisations, in this age you often get funny looks proposing to dig down and optimise sluggish code. Spin up more co

Nutritional guidelines have very short lives compared to every other field of science. It's such a minefield of contradictions. Astonished how many pretend a topic so complicated by biology/genetics and routinely proven wrong can

The US is putting minorities into private prisons at far greater rates for nonviolent crimes. The rate of imprisonment is entirely correlated to race. Yes whataboutism, but please think of an actual justification before you respond rather t

This is really neat, thanks for rundown. Its easy to get far too comfortable with ad-hoc sed commands when there's far better solutions out there.

But they do. Everything they sell in Australia has a 10% sales tax, it's just as far as the article is concerned that's the buyers paying tax, not the sellers. Consumption taxes are the simplest way to stop tax avoidance, but it&#

Thanks mate, been weighing up the options. Was not prepared for how bad it can be with thick rebar concrete walls. Only a few meters away from router and yet terrible signal. Far outside through a glass door has perfect signal. Ethernet ov

Does a router need that much compute? I've just moved and the walls here attenuate wifi signals dramatically. Was thinking about building my own router and bumping up the signal power. That or some sort of repeater.

Uber drivers are unaware of the "opportunity cost”? Really? The main factor in their pay is something I'd say you should give them credit for being aware of. Utterly absurd assumption, they know exactly the cost and better than an

Radiation isn't really as much of a problem as popsci media makes it out to be. Go look at all the plans by The Mars Society, most usually have water storage doubling as a radiation shelter for solar storms and not much else.
