I live in Texas. There are brown recluse here. I don't really fear a spider since it doesn't seem like they are all that aggressive to people. The worst part of spiders to me are when I walk through a web. Ive had a bad spider bit

Serious question- is this a famous photographer or otherwise celebrity? I have no idea. I fully support anyone using the computer that works best for them. I even concede that Apple is not making their best stuff right now. I don’t understa

I noticed this and my first thought was that my phone needed to reboot. Come on, Youtube doesn't go down... Then I went to a different site and realized it was an outage...

I think this is a brilliant use case for the ML/AI voice avatar technology that is becoming popular now. Feed it a few scripts, and write a shim application that will allow you to let your avatar answer the robocall and waste time...

It's definitely a brilliant smokescreen. The credit agencies/banks/insurance companies that fail to secure your personal data can blame you and call you a victim instead of admitting negligence...

You've hit the nail on the head- thats the problem- the number isn't real. I have gotten at least half a dozen callbacks/texts asking "who dis" or "why did you call me"? when the reality is my number ended

As I prefaced, it was my opinion. I’m not a huge IPA fan either.

I’ve been thinking we were getting close to peak craft beer for a while now. I’m thinking that a lot of independent craft brewers agree as there has been a lot of these breweries selling to the super majors in the past few years. As others

Serious question- has there been a string of incidents in NZ that prompted this legislation? I certainly try to stay current with world news, but I definitely could have missed something. I think my follow up question is what exactly are th

Shazam is one of those apps that has truly changed my life. I still remember as a teenager times where I heard a song on the radio or a mix show and missed the name of it. I have purchased entire albums thinking they had a song I liked and

I’ve recently launched an experiment to get off of google. I can’t say I had any real reason other than curiosity. I have some privacy concerns but can’t say that was the main driver here. I think I just looked at my laptop, phone, etc and

agreed- I feel like a decent line amplifier gets you 95% there. Even a consumer grade electret mic gets you 97% there, reasonable DACs get you to 98%. the other 2% costs 5 figures plus...

Agreed- and some of the new mic modeling err microphones use this tech along with software models of classic/expensive/fragile/sought after microphones to varying degrees of success. For someone like me with a limited budget

indeed- the idea that you can strap a rocket to anything to increase its velocity really only serves to advance things like braking and tire technology. That is, however, a valid pursuit.

Well the TDF is at least theoretically supposed to be run by folks who don't dope, train hard and do the entire ride under their own power. The fact that you mention it in the same vain as this record did make me laugh though since rea

I am not taking away from this feat because that is an amazing speed. Someone having the courage to stay on a bike going nearly 200 mph is incredible. I don’t want to get into the gender aspect of this either. My question is that it seems

Not sure what you think is wrong with this statement. Seems to me that he let his hubris, lack of sleep and desire to stop the short sellers get in the way of using a bit of discernment. For him that tweet was a weapon against the shorts. I

I could take your comment as either a dig at me or at Elon. I can see how either is applicable(and valid). I think I can just add that if I screw up on Twitter, there would not be the same consequences to a business or shareholders that Elo

Sometimes its possible to care so much that you lose sight of what is important. This happened to Elon. I think this will be a case study someday about CEO ethics. I found it very interesting that when he was on the Joe Rogan podcast he had

Maybe Im in the minority here, but I never attributed credit to Steve Jobs as the "inventor" of any of apples products. I saw him akin to a music producer. The team builds, and he guides their efforts according to his vision. This

Manuals have been selected out of the marketplace by dealer sales managers. I would love to own at least one manual transmission vehicle. Most that Ive considered in recent history were available with a manual, and the ones that are availab

I really like this. Bookmarked. I have spotted a few bugs that you may want to check into. Search the page for the word “llanguage”. The sum/count checker told me it was incorrect for using lowercase nulls. I normally write all my sq

These sorts of things interest me so I went though a few of his posts. It’s interesting that his “God says” messages are all 32 words long. Makes me wonder if it’s a cypher, just gibberish or some combination of both.

This is a useful datapoint, but I feel the author could learn a thing or two from the backblaze disk report. It looks like there are a few use cases that cause high wear on SSDs. I dont see a lot of concrete numbers here. To me, it is more

When I first read this, I read it as a compliment to your productivity, but I totally see how you could read that as someone taking a shot at you. I applaud you for this, I read your gist, ran the commands and went from learning about it to

I am curious as to how the radio tech will work for these things. Im skeptical that something super low power will be able to send us back some pictures from that distance? Is our current tech that good?

I grew up in Houston and still remember my dad pulling a dad joke on me. We drove by best and he said that building is falling apart why are they letting people shop there?!? I was 4-5 yrs old at the time and I got genuinely worried before

What is really sad here is that all of this “Russian hacking” has accomplished a few goals. - invalidate news organizations. People have mistrusted the news for a while. Now there is more reason for skepticism. - Taken a marginalized nati
