Does anyone prefer the digital gauges to real ones? I’m rabidly allergic to the screen-based car controls, and I feel like I see a lot of that in the comments here and in conversation with friends and relatives. Where is the pro-digital-c

Confusingly, it’s a Calorie, in the sense of “the thing the nutrition label says you probably need 2000 of a day.” If I remember correctly, 1000 calories (with a lowercase “c”) makes one Calorie (with a capital C). The former is the energy

Not my domain, and I know I’m amongst experts. But at the risk of stating the obvious: It feels like the claim here (and elsewhere) is that we’re near the breaking point of the incentive model that’s propelled knowledge out of human minds a

As far as I understand it, it’s normal to deduct most all kinds of payroll as an operating expense, and historically that’s included software developers too. The way it was explained to me, the tax man gets his bite when the people receivin

Of course, as you allude, the US is a large and diverse country too, where those features may or may not apply in a given locality. I suspect, though, that on both continents, when we’re talking about these problems with the dual staircase

Wait, they suggest saving photos of the QR codes of your TOTP secrets? That seems to weaken the concept by making it easy for an attacker 1) to identify secrets and the sites they’re associated with, and 2) to retrieve them (in plaintext, n

Even after clicking around the product pages a little, I’m afraid I still don’t understand what an n8n is or what it’s seeking to automate. Is “n8n” a colloquialism amongst front-end people, like “i18n” or “a11y”? And as to “automation,” I’

Buried midway down, they mention that the commercial health plans available to people without conventional employers (Obamacare) can (and routinely do) set deductibles as high as $9,450. And that’s in addition to the premium-which, in New

Though the Europeans seem not to be exempt from the phenomenon at hand: as the article points out, the study found “a sharp global rise in cancers in people under 50, with the highest rates in North America, Australia and Western Europe.”

For some time I thought the primary way to opt out was to disable chat history. That made it impossible to use custom instructions. But I later found the account-level opt-out request, which, assuming they respect the weakly-worded “ask us

It’s been a while since I brushed up on that question, thank you for the impetus! The EWG attempts to enumerate the federal subsidies, which, by its count, total some $50bn directly to livestock producers since 1995, plus $160bn to farms th

A single explosive decompression event, comprising the spontaneous loss of an assembly the size of an entire exit door, two months off the factory floor? I should certainly hope they’d take a gander at the others before I’d sit next to one.

To do so fraudulently seems like a really good way to go to jail, though, no? And, as a requirement to hold your business account, the authorities know where to find you to put you there should the need arise?

And for that matter, small-scale meth enthusiasts, wisely or not, were in fact robbing stores for it at the time. Meth access aside, there’s probably some social benefit to tamping down on robberies in these places where sick and vulnerable

I don’t understand what you’re saying here. What is obvious and well-documented here, from your perspective? And of what do we have extensive documentation? The regulatory data at the time the decision was taken, or something in Starlink’s

In this case, the initial notification (reproduced in the article) didn’t threaten to delete the files. Instead of communicating the threat harshly, it said that after 60 days his account would be placed in “read-only” mode. It sounds like
