And now, 13 years after Lustig's "Sugar: the Bitter Truth" totally convinced me it was sugar and not fat, and sugar consumption has decreased while obesity has increased, I'm unconvinced it's sugar either. It's

Ignoring the upside/downside of buying used mining cards, is anyone else purposefully not buying to punish those who hoarded all the GPUs with an inability to profitably exit a commons-harming hustle so they might think twice before tr

I agree that we're focused on the wrong danger. The same way we tried to push the marijuana narrative toward physical harm when the real danger was in co-opting our goal system. I'd go further than you and say it's not even i

They'll also accept Android phones via Bluetooth. More importantly, adding two keys lets you disable SMS codes.

Here's another: Email addresses must have at least one dot. There are MX records at the apex of .ai, so postmaster@ai probably works.

I once had a domain at Namecheap show "Ownership change pending approval" to another username with a cancel link beside it and I recognized the username as someone who made offers before out of band. Never got an email or saw any

Under Armor bought it for half a billion dollars from its original creators in 2015. They weren't on target to make back the investment and this sale to VC is an attempt to extract whatever remaining value they can out of it.

Ptable.com uses no frameworks or libraries and has a payload size of ~64K if you use an ad/tracker blocker, and that includes all the property data and WebGL orbitals rendered from the Schrodinger equation on the Electrons tab.

I was excited to learn PO box numbers are unique in my city and have their own ZIP code so theoretically mail could reach me with an address of only "37939-0002" (ZIP only) or "PO Box 2, Knoxville" (no ZIP) if someone wa

Are there previous threads asking this from 5, 10, 15 years ago we can read to then see what writers of winning comments now say?

Every family member whose midrange phone I have to update due to EOL software or additional carrier bands somehow loses every feature they actually value and they rightfully complain it's a downgrade.

The only real difference I spot in the diff is ISRG not storing your certificate in its repository anymore.

I'd love to visit a museum of all the interesting form factors and unique devices dead-ended by the smartphone. So much industrial design so suddenly disappeared: Franklin dictionaries, HP Jornada, iPAQ, HTC Advantage, microcassette re

I was surprised to learn children figured this out over the pandemic in the form of shining a light at their webcam to see who has their window "pinned" among the class.

I hired someone to create a method to find the x most different colors in a restricted color space using a Voronoi mesh and their solution used a Monte Carlo method. I wonder if annealing would be better. https://mathematica.stac

It's against ToS for your profile to include other means to contact you, like other online profiles. That's my guess.

Wow, over a decade! I'm sure you have much feedback to offer. You've convinced me to change the way search works with fanned isotopes. Currently, searching for "infinity" under half-life will show stable elements or &quo

Thanks for the long-term support. Do you consider the click-to-fan out isotopes now to be too clumsy for your use?

I believe the non-beta Android Edge still uses EdgeHTML which doesn't support optional chaining and I abandoned support for as it's now 0.08% of my users. Try out the beta?

This is mine. I spent quarantine greatly upgrading it from its previous design from roughly 2007 (old.ptable.com) which itself was a great upgrade to how it looked in 1997 ( https://web.archive.org/web/19990208231647&#x2

Mostly being troubled the value added isn't proportionate to the payload increase. Double my LoC because I don't like typing out "getElementById" or want a throttle/debounce function or two or don't want to dea

Ptable.com provides most of my earned income. Spent quarantine doing a major redesign. No frameworks or libraries and the full payload, WebGL, property data and all in under 64K.

Really hope this develops into a full-fledged competitor to Plausible/Matomo/Fathom/Simple, which are way overpriced at scale. Would also like to see it keep more than a week of data for historical (anonymized) comparison. I&

Few of the comments here seem to discuss his point. He asks if pleasure to pain is a continuum, why have pain at all? Instead of -1 to 1, with negative representing unpleasantness, human experience can instead span 0 to 2 and have the same

This is going to be a game changer when the first password manager implements a no third party time-lock as its recovery by trusted contact mechanism. Most of them just hold onto your password store public key encrypted for that contact, if
