That was 20 years ago. Plenty of people never experienced the good Sudafed and have no idea it moved.

Scroll back up and notice most of these comments are distinguishing "marketing" from "marketers". I think a lot of people also wouldn't consider just an ad as marketing without some further details (such as the comm

Except for the "multiple ORMs" part which is a level above it, it applies to the only one I've used extensively: Django for python. It has standard defaults, but just about everything overridable, and because models are pyt

An invariant is something that must always be true. The most basic example of this is a not-null foreign key, where a value in one table refers to a row in another table and that row in the other table must always exist. > Are you reall

Problem is that doesn't work nicely in a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship - fetching it in the original query means deduplicating in the application code, or not fetching it and getting related rows afterwards. And that's

AC existed but was barely used until at least a decade or two later (window units invented in the 30s and full-home central AC in the 50s). One of the current social media trends is Europeans discovering what the US is actually like, having

They started the report in 1929 and completed it in 1933. Easy enough to just tweak the year slightly to fit the stated generation.

"Surprised by how much" pretty directly means the amount is higher than expected. It has the opposite meaning the person intended. The neutral phrasing would be more like "surprised by the amount".

Just in case they're looking in the wrong place (looks like they moved where this information was since I last looked), you have to expand it in the sidebar on the right.

A California law around a decade ago started it (a consumer protection law I think, something like requiring customers to have an address they can contact any seller at), and Google lazily applied it to everyone. I would have been fine just

It's because of a law in California. Don't remember the reason behind it, but Google decided to apply it everywhere. It's also why I let my app die years ago instead of publishing the updated version.

I remember there being a lot of phrasing in the announcements that implied they didn't know Second Life existed. Kinda seemed like they thought it was a completely new idea.

In the US, the long-term safety testing is 3-5 years, excluding any beaurocracy. Pfizer's short-term safety testing was also cut from 6 months to 3 months IIRC.
