Yep. They increasingly break addons that (try to) enable me to do everything from the keyboard.

There used to be a blog where someone registered DoNotReply.com and posted all the replies he got as a result of companies using that as a default reply-to in emails — which often included sensitive information. It’s not around anymore but

Agreed. This doesn’t seem very relevant to the case, and there’s plenty of other jaw-dropping details to report on (like the current top comment’s mention of back dating the warrant application). Now, I wouldn’t say this DUI history is enti

Right but that still means they need to pick literally any other human output besides “energy”. At the very least it would have to be some very specific form of energy that humans emit. Just like it would make no sense to explain the purpos

When first heard the song “LEF (loud electronic ferocious)” it occurred to me that LEDs could be backronymed to Loud Electronic Dysphoric. But it seemed pointless because that didn’t describe LEDs. Now it seems like it does!

None of which are yielding in the Coca-Cola ballpark without significant default risk. The broader point about bonds clearly beating S&P earnings is dubious.

That 7.375% on the Coca-cola bond looks like the coupon (approximate yield) from its initial issue, which appears to be in 1993. ("Ticker: KO 7.375 07/29/93") The yield-to-maturity (yield calculated from current market

I saw the same with no extensions. My only hope was to do custom mode and give myself more cpus and lower I/O probability. Edit: Also, keyboard shortcuts would be really, really nice. Edit2: Also, the "menu" button in the top

This is why I’ be careful to say “analytically intelligent” in cases like this.

That's way too brief and low-effort to meaningfully engage with and update on.

The best theory I've heard is that it was a charlatan filter: asking someone if they can do something known to be impossible. If they reassure you it can be done, you know it's a scam. That MP could have been making reasonable use

Oh wow I think I found my intellectual doppelganger! I run into this problem a lot, where I try to learn something simple but it quickly balloons to the point where the answer is in a hundred pieces due to missing context and bad assumption

So ... you aren't obligated to preserve records of the conversation if the channel is "in person", then.

Or Oasis’s “Champagne Supernova” sounding (to my American ear) like “supin’ over”. Also, The Lincoln Lawyer has an Australian actor playing a character (Cisco) with a gruff, throaty American accident, but at one point it slips through and h

Ugh. Yes. Bane of my web existence: a site will have a list view and a detail view. Can’t right click (or use extensions) to open one item in its detail view. Even then, it would almost be forgivable if going back to list view (via their

I think the whole problem is that, based on conventions for communicating this stuff, you can't always rule that out.

Haha yeah that's why I cringe whenever someone reassures me that Open Source software models are profitable, as "you can just make money from selling the consulting services for it!" Okay, but what are you incentivizing there

Just to make sure no one misunderstands (not saying you did, just that this is easy to misread): The 4 cent/kWh figure is the additional cost it would have to charge, over the life of the plant, to make up for the budget overage, and

Huh? I see them all the time. And even without that, HN and reddit still link twitter or snapshot it. I have no idea what the Threads app looks like still!

by SilasX 3y ago
That's the problem: if you don't sign up (as I haven't), you can remain blissfully unaware of Threads. The same isn't true of Twitter. I stand corrected on other Meta properties linking it, but, of course, they have to g

Okay something that confuses me: to replace Twitter (sorry, X), it has to be something whose posts get linked just as much, from outside that site. I have yet to see a single Threads post get linked anywhere -- not here, not Reddit, not eve

Right, I assumed it was the same principle by which UK, having issued the first postage stamps, is the only country that doesn't say the country name on the stamp.
