At least for me - I had a cheap 4k monitor. Managing the size of fonts / windows on it vs the connected laptop was a pita. Not to mention the display /graphics card overloading and glitching once in a while trying to power everyth

Problem is they are all built up of many smaller pieces as well - you may need the information about them at different points. For ex. EC2 drives are from EBS. if you need a load balancer ELB. You probably use S3 for some or other reason (l

At least in my company, many folks leave it on snooze always - with a status requesting for an override if there's something urgent. Else the intrusion is very real. I personally used to get a ding from groups or PMs every other min or

It seems the author (or paper authors) are mixing up individuality with life/agency? IOW a hard drive with information is working against entropy to keep information active through time. But that doesn't make it an individual - IO

Oh boy - folks am not advocating this :). I was asking a genuine question as a response to the comment that's all. Thanks for the replies.

Why isn't it a direct credit towards rent and free food/water/meds instead of cash? Wouldn't that be a way to ensure it isn't stowed away?

I haven't read the article, but it is off-point to say no-one sues. History has no effect on what someone will do tomorrow - exposure is what companies try to limit. The sueing angle kicks in when you do stuff like give feedback for fo

Depends on where you come from - it may not be a pure $$ angle alone. (for most places of origin, $$ also works out). Status of living is higher for many folks who move to US in terms of ability to actually use the outdoors (less pollution,

Probably a very dumb attempt but Doesn't the leading edge being thick and rounded up top deflect away air from getting to the slant-plane right behind it creating a low pressure zone above the wing? Same will apply in flat-wing cases b

I think it is a result of the network effect. The same window also marks the rise of social networks. So the toxicity is more in your face and you almost have no way of escaping it. Even if you're not on facebook, your friends are talk

Are you thinking of dollar revenue as an average OR considering suburbian dollar revenue separate? You'd think the suburbia also brings in more cash to the government (I got no sources).

Facebook without probably putting in a ton of effort cornered the ad hoc grouping market. I can talk to my family/friends whenever yes, but almost all my cycling groups lean on fb for example - it is the lowest common denominator. This

How come you count inflation for house and not for savings? :) As others point out, houses can be easily setup in and around the metros to give a steady 3% return not including appreciation. Considering dense living is the future and the ho

Take a look at Unihertz Atom - that's my current choice. It is a smartphone that can do it all, but has an annoyingly tiny screen so you won't sit on it for life.

In theory facebook could force a full audit / history of the ad varieties used in targeting and provide it to journalistic folks who want to do such analysis. In practice, that is not very different from a politician saying what is nec

The problem being I can't think of a single company that offers an all cash deal even close to the FAANG offers (or pre-ipo offers in one of the unicorns). Even a bunch of giant companies like HBO/Samsung etc. got priced out for t

I think the general theme I see is that folks expect companies to solve problems that their governments must be solving. And when they don't get it uniform, everyone's mad. I'd rather live in a world where companies aren&#x27
