I have the same questions. We've seen government and businesses try to be aggressive on relaxing lockdown policy in the past, and then quickly re-implement restrictions when the next wave of infections hit. Multiple times I've see

I played this with my mother, and later my friends, quite a lot as a child. I'm glad you mentioned it, this brought back a lot of nice memories for me and I think I'm going to buy a few packs of cards the next time I'm out :)

Does it at least check for cops before rolling through the stop sign? Kinda cheeky, but I bet a lot of people would love automated driving features that change behavior around police.

The first time I noticed it was when I couldn't find the Twitter search bar. I wanted to see someone's Twitter account so I went to http://www.twitter.com and I didn't know what to do from there. It's still l

I'm glad the date range tool still exists, I use it now and then and it's generally good. What's bad is that it's not available on the mobile site. But what's ugly is how unreliable and cluttered the results are. Fo

I agree, but I've also tried to polish things without a strong need and it's difficult. The work can feel burdensome, useless, undirected, and sometimes requires major changes that can't be done (without inflating the scope o

I still find it amazing how many "first small thing end to end" wind up being the last major version for years. That's not a bad thing, I've grown to love it, and I think it's a tenet I should make a more conscious

Years ago, but just after Google purchased YouTube, I forgot my YouTube password so they emailed it to me in plaintext. Maybe 10 years ago I experienced forgotten Gmail password hell when a family member forgot their password and was never

Plastic deterioration like this has ruined so many things I liked that are otherwise well designed. I've had it happen with computer mice, umbrellas, knives, camera tripods, shoes, flashlights. I don't know the chemistry behind wh

What methods are there to estimate how many unique characters a model can generate? The answer is not infinitely many, but determining when two images are of different 'characters' is fuzzy.

For recent data, I enjoy the energy flow charts LLNL puts out each year. https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/commodities/energy Also a fun data point: from 2019 to 2020 the US energy consumption dropped from 100.2 to 92.9 quad

I'm not sure and I don't know, it could be $30 or $40/hr. I took $14 and $4 from an article discussing the Moto X in 2013.

"Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China" I laughed the first time I saw that because of how proudly it was featured for such a mundane statement. In 2014 I bought the Moto X in part because it was assembled in the US.

People ask for examples. This is an interesting one where Snopes admits they were wrong, and honorably changes their rating from MOSTLY FALSE to.. Mixture? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/immigrant-girl-never-separ...

It's funny, so each point is only guaranteed to be in that iteration of the triangle. So if you want a sierpinski triangle accurate to n levels deep you want to throw away the first n-1 points. If you want to plot a specific sierpinski

"the State of Maine specifically instructs drafters of legal statutes not to use the serial comma" Why would they ever suggest not using the comma? Maybe they'll change the instructions now.

This is great! I took the same approach to my glitch art: edit the file data to introduce glitches true to the image format. It's been over a decade since then and your post has me itching to get back into it so thank you!

Oh I like this answer. It immediately reminded me that so many things used to just be instant on. Touch surfaces are slow to respond (think modern kitchen appliances vs older digital buttons), things like car radios have startup delays, eve
