More predictive than being wealthy? Strongly doubt.

Perhaps this is autocorrect gone awry, but it has nothing to do with lentils. Not a meteorologist, but from all I understand it means lens-shaped, and to me that immediately gives a strong clue as to how they form since lenses have focal po

NZ housing stock is truly atrocious. I knew it was bad but didn't appreciate how bad until living in the UK and going through winters sometimes without even needing to use heating (granted in apartments in that situation). Double glazi

It's grossly untrue to say it's a Ponzi scheme "like stocks" which are part ownership in companies that actually sell things in the real world and are valued by the present value of their future expected cash flows, rath

Ah, there's a second, earlier (and more charismatic, in my opinion) video. The panther statue is at 2:45. I'm glad I didn't imagine this, I started to feel the Mandela effect. https://youtu.be/PfdvAVkg1X0

My childhood heavily featured Dominion Road as my grandparents lived nearby so I had to recheck I opened the right link when I saw that song appear. Now I'm wondering why 20 years ago I thought the music video for that song featured a

There's no doubt that Letterman has had a large ego at times and acted poorly towards people. But he does contrition and humbleness so well, it's a major reason I've watched more than a few My Next Guest... Thanks for posting

It's not a "respiratory illness". See Barrin92's response to you. That suggestion is also implicitly dismissing all the people who had lingering effects long after COVID and long before vaccines.

Amongst others here's one. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998v... See my comment above on why that paper tells us nothing about unvaccinated myocarditis rates.

Thanks for that link. It contradicts previous studies that put the risk of myocarditis from unvaccinated COVID infection at between 6 and 15 times higher than that from vaccination (and 30x general baseline rate). So I read through it and i

I have a Pixel 6 and I've noticed an app from some Wi-fi lights with an app called TCP Smart copies my clipboard whenever I open it. I was disturbed by this and definitely didn't do anything special to permit it, so that seems som

At a Tier 1 Investment Bank, there was a manager (ED/MD) from Bear Stearns who said explicitly in his first meeting with the whole department that he will track and rank people in the IT org based upon their lines of code and fire the

Not altogether unprecedented though; the suicide cult Heaven's Gate had people stay around to maintain their website, etc. and apparently they still believe the Hale-Bopp comet was some portend of the end of times.

in the first shared house I lived in, my flat mate (ex-partner of the holder of the lease but in the same dwelling... it was awkward) was acting erratically in the first couple of weeks. It was kind of assumed the break up was getting to hi

Same here but with the added pain of an early "onmicrosoft.com" account that splits our users between their domain and ours, doesn't let me use my work domain address, and yet denies the onmicrosoft.com one access because it&

That may be the case, but why would it radiate on the non-star facing side? Take the JWT for example: no-one looking back at that would see anything higher than -50 degrees Celsius. If the point was to capture energy then anything radiating

Probably a bit unfair. They were early to the market and met all the usual UK Govt. paper-firewall rules well before the hyperscalers were viable options. It's just they haven't found a good fit in between the global forces of G.A

If I go down to the local farmers market and open a stall selling fake Gucci bags, with signs saying I sell Gucci bags, but on behalf of my supplier, A. Scammer, will the police leave me be then? Bezos' dichotomy of at once being suppl

Doesn't Google reduce the quality of them all when they're uploaded? Not that it's really material in most use cases but I find myself having to do manual backups from my phone.

Amazing! That must have been very interesting as the show did a good job leading one to think it was a dead end.

Same experience and suspicions here with December being miserable for the household but no positive LFTs (around 3 each) or PCR (one each). Wife still has a sore throat every night, weeks later, and mine lasted weeks too, which is unlike an

You don't go for speed when flying a wingsuit and there's comparatively little you can do to change your speed, so this isn't likely the answer.

I would happily set all browsers to always deny all ads and untrusted domains the ability to use microphone and camera at all times. So there's no need for an avalanche of alerts, it just shouldn't be permissible for a resource fr

log4j2 has little to do with the log4j you claim turned you off 20 years ago and almost no one works directly to the logging library API rather than an slf4j facade.

Whilst that is ridiculous if they're bringing in a new dependency, if I squint I can see the thought process. Transitive dependencies are far harder to be certain about. It took a few seconds to scan our company's entire code base
