   1. The article mentions the next version is supposed to deliver 1 W 2. You can put a few of those for more power. The fact of not needing to replace it like ever justify the extra space, I think (and can maybe be offset a little by not havi

   The assumption is that forum is viewable by guests (including Google) and Slack is not, so to search the Slack history you need to log in to Slack and use the Slack search (which might be broken / paid in the future, etc)

   > * They specified "America's fast food chains"; someone living in the US probably wouldn't qualify it with "America's". I call that US-centrism. Quite annoying to non-Americans living in the States.

    It's very snappy. I'm honestly impressed. (Snappier opening apps than a new M1 I briefly had)

    Re: dependents, should you not be allowed to kill yourself if someone (let's say a selfish spouse rather than your infant child) depends on you? That might even be the reason you don't want to live anymore...

    This is a really nice idea! Excellent encapsulation with minimal setup. You could slap a SOCKS proxy (via -D) on top of that for even more usability (although, oddly I find that these days all I ever need is DNS, HTTPs and SSH...)

    At some point there were burners with speeds like 48x, and MAX reads at 48x, so the writed were in practice faster than reads (but only marginally)

    I feel like at this point, Google could just officially disallow extensions blocking ads (or just Google ads?). What's happening here is just stupid, IMO.

    I used to work at a company that sold SaaS to big corporations. We needed to win contracts, so we needed to tick their checkboxes, but we also cared for the user experience (good UX was almost never a strict requirement from our customer).

    I don't think people generally write code to use this or another guarantee of the implementation. They write code, they run it, it seems to work (on my machine) and that's it. Later, the implementation changes in a subtle way (or

    Motor oil burns more rapidly than diesel. You'll get more "power" but also less durability. Burning motor oil happens when your turbo breaks down and puts all your oil via the air inlet to your engine. It's hard to stop
