Pinterest is so bad it's one of those sites I just skip over on search results. But it's been that way for years - nothing new.

Sunscreen for the face should just be daily. My dermatologist recommends it even in Berlin in the Winter. And then, this is most critical, use mineral or at least creamy sunscreen (sprays barely do anything) and put it on a few minutes bef

A bit OT but if your house is so big that you can't even hear the laundry buzzer it seems like the size of the house itself is a stressor.

A bit OT but you may want a side loader. It's obviously not ideal to leave it overnight but the few times that's happened to me there isn't any mold. I'm guessing you have a top loader, it may not have been cleaned in

Yeah I think that happened to me yesterday. We had a new priest (actually retired and visiting) and the homily was 10x more engaging than the normal ones. I fear that the rest of the congregation didn't like that he wasn't using

I'll answer - too many bots and most communities don't demand high quality comments. I still use it though - it's my only social network (although I don't think it's really a social network since I have no durable

Are there any keyboard stores where you can try a lot of these out?

I went back - really don't like the wobble of the Kinesis keys. Ironically I prefer just an Apple keyboard since it matches my laptop (making going back and forth easy).

It's sort of a small country but bigger than Finland, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Qatar. It's actually right about in the middle in terms of population.

And people will still say 'Just painting a bus lane for a few miles cost $20MM!!! Uggah duggah' :-/

This is real and there's no way to get these problems down to zero. However I do believe that the best first step is to make sure the government has more employees and fewer contractors. It will cost more year to year but the deliver

In some cases yes. Tor for instance was created by the USG and is not easily controlled by the USG.

Yeah I hard disagree with their statement. I've come to observe with having kids (and also moving to Germany and seeing other kids shaped) that so so much is taught. There is a ton born into a kid but so many things like the ability t

PayPal was a counterparty so if one side didn't pay or there was a dispute then PayPal was stuck in the middle. Visa and MC are just payment networks and have minimal risk. The only risk I think would be criminal liability (handling

Cards are really slow and expensive to distribute and (tech forward) people would also prefer to just use their phone or watch. This is the kind or project that will take years to work and almost everybody now has a smartphone on one of th

If true they would have told the Russians and the Chinese and yes everybody will know after the fact. But for various reasons they might not want to disclose ahead of time in case Trump gets talked out of it or they realize they're no

Only in theory - they went through years and decades of hell already so it's not like people are going to try to emulate it just in case it works. Anyway, countries like America "contain multitudes" and there can and will al

Lots of people were using svn and mercurial was also coming up around the time that GitHub launched. Both git and GitHub were superior to all the other options but for many people they did the switch to GitHub and git at the same time.

Wouldn't it be simplest to just legalize the people who are here and at the same time also open up immigrant visas too?

That's a strong statement. Also imho it's important that we use Signal for normal stuff like discussing where to get coffee tomorrow - no need for disappearing messages there.

Even if this worked (which would be massively expensive to implement) the misconfiguration possibilities are endless. It wouldn't be customer-centric to actually release this capability. Better for the foreseeable future to have separ

That level of English would be considered below A1. Just being in the US for a few months would give you that level of English even without any other education. So you're conflating "can you read about 2 dozen English words&quot

Same with a Metric ton (a "tonne") which is one thousand kilograms (pretty close to an imperial ton).

Basically everybody agrees with what you're saying which is what makes this an insidious comment. In general the pressure against regulation comes from narrow winners (oil industry for instance) whereas the pressure for regulations gen

Yeah that's why startups often pick iOS first, get product-market fit, and then do Android. The fallacy that abstractions tout is that Android and iOS are the same. They are not. A good iOS app is not 1:1 equivalent to what a good And

Traffic signs are readable by almost anybody regardless of English language skills. A vision test is much more safety-valid than an English language test.

The gap here is that the company has the money and native apps are so clearly better. With an interactive app a company like OpenAI could really tweak the experience for Android and iOS which have different UX philosophies and featuresets

"they’re quietly running Claude Code" ... with their tokens or even worse full on usernames and passwords that have write/execute privileges.

I would say that although Claude may hallucinate at least it can be told to test the scripts. Many data scientists will just balk at the idea of testing a crazy excel workbook with lots of formulas that they themselves inherited.
