He did change it when paraphrasing, just now :-) I'm sure it'll be paraphrased to another company in another 30 years.

The "at math" is the important part here - I've met more than a few people who are super smart about math but significantly less smart about drugs. I don't think that it's a good policy to forcibly muzzle their drug

Imagine a subreddit full of people giving bad drug advice. They're at least partially full of people who are intelligent and capable of performing human work - but they're mostly not professional drug advisors. I think at best y

It's possible (and in fact the law) that the journalist against whom a search warrant is issued is suspected of aiding in the leak or committing a crime, though. I don't think we yet know that she's not in that category; onl

Why would paying everyone $300M across the board be healthier than using it as a tool to (attempt to) attract the best of the best?

The article you linked shows 12-13% autism-positive rate over N~100 cases, in the UK - and it doesn't distinguish, in the free abstract at least, between minor/moderate/severe, or comorbidities among that population. I agree

It looks like it's a third-party UI, her Mastodon client, using the description metadata in a way that kind of makes it look like that metadata is part of the post. Auto-generating said description tag in the first person is a bit of a

If anything there's an interesting angle in the facts of this story about a new form of "mansplaining," but it's the algorithm doing "robosplaining" for the human race.

But what was the SLA?

+1, user owning the ID is a step in the right direction compared to "homeserver" owning the right key and makes this possible. That said - maybe (total hypothetical) the reason one relay becomes really big is because a lot of peop

“There’s at least one spot within 100 miles where you can wait 20 minutes to get enough charge to get to the next charger” is not an argument that will convince someone to give up the convenience of the gas station.

We already see "paid relays" and relays that filter certain content, even as small as nostr is today. I think the end state, if it manages to really catch on, is going to be as "oligarchical" as mastodon or other federat

Honestly, $_ and "what does a function do when I don't supply any arguments?" are really nice in Perl, and not that difficult to understand. I think a lot of languages could use a 'default variable'.

100%, but it's even worse than that. "X got into Stanford" is the new "X is a Stanford graduate" because of grade dilution - and admissions dilution has soured even the former.

Bazzite fills a SteamOS-sized hole with a decent level of hardware support. Unclear how long that'll be the case - I don't see it surviving the release of a GA SteamOS.

Absolutely. The reason I clicked in the first place was to see if there was an elegant MPTCP implementation.

AI clearly wrote the blog post too - it's a neat project but the "ai style of writing" really doesn't work well for a long form article. It's like a collection of listicles. I think it'd be a better presentatio

I really like the new wave of TUI aesthetic that's been worming its way into Linux user interfaces lately. Check out Omarchy's desktop distro if you want more of that aesthetic throughout your OS, it does a good job if that's

“It works in Europe” isn’t a very good American political rallying cry though; Americans generally don’t have the opinion that Europe works very well.

Not to be confused with CLI, which is literally for people who spend a lot of time on the Command Line :)

Excellent data, thanks! Net metering does look necessary for economics. Have you factored in relative replacement/maintenance costs for the geo pump vs furnace? Also curious how much your investment was discounted thanks to tax subsidi

Yes - he campaigned on making America more crypto-friendly in general; this could also be read as part of making good on that promise.

An offer becomes a contract once accepted - this is afaik consistent across the entire (western?) world. It’s perhaps customary in some places to have additional paperwork in the negotiation phase?

We get that - it’s generally right there on the offer letter, often supplemented by a handbook that it refers to.

When you sign your offer letter, you're entering into an employment contract. What you're describing is regulatory limitations on what that contract can say, and how different contracts can have different terms.

What does that say?

Exactly - when equities, commodities, prices of goods, crypto, .... are all up, this tells us that the real situation is that currency is down.

Under what law? It's interesting because these are sites that host content for the purpose of providing it to anonymous network users. ebay won a case against a scraper back in 2000 by claiming that the server load was harming them, bu

You're comparing a regional debit network to an overarching network that includes lots of different fee structures. The USA has debit networks (STAR, etc) with similar cost structures too - Germany is not unique in this regard.
