I’m 21 and my carpal tunnel was already getting quite bad. What fixed it for me was to use this keyboard [0] (with the stand to lift up the front) and this mouse [1]. I’ve tried a bunch of ergonomic keyboards and mice, some very expensive,

Probably not the same book, but the guy who developed Hamming codes (his name was Hamming obviously) wrote a stupendous book that talks a lot about his time at Bell called The Art and Science of Doing Engineering

To the extent that that's true, it's in large part because their income is now absorbed by land rents, which were much lower in the 30s. There's an obvious contradiction in the american dream: home ownership is the goal, so

This is a purely aesthetic change, it doesn't break any habits. In this case, it probably also improves usability, because there's less visual noise connected to those buttons, which lets you draw attention to buttons the user mig

I'm not sure this is true. I've previously heard the exact same thing referring about "100% beef" in the US, but mcdonalds explicitly says on their website that it isn't true [0], which I assume they wouldn't d

When I was flying back from Tampa, a TSA agent told me I had to take out my phone and put it through the scanner. I kept telling him I didn't have a phone on me, but he didn't believe me and asked me the same question about three

> Aside, I suppose this is Musk's plan, but his timing is off. I see people say things like this often but it doesn’t make sense. No matter how bad global warming gets, earth will always be more habitable than mars.

How does it compare to matrix? Would have been nice to use that since it’s an open protocol that already takes privacy seriously

I doubt your reasoning will be much consolation to the families of people who didn't get a scan because it cost $50 rather than $5

If this is true, I think it’s bad news for the environmental contamination models of obesity that have been growing popular recently.

They can shoot down the satellites if they break the law though. That's why bypassing China's firewall isn't as easy as sneaking in a Starlink base station

> In recent years, the average college graduate with a bachelor's degree earned $78,000, compared to $45,000 for those with only a high school diploma. This means a typical college graduate earns a premium of well over $30,000, or n

Even if we entertain the possibility that one could create fully-ethically-produced pornography that pedophiles would like (maybe using adult actors that look much younger than they are, or something), there are still some problems. It’s we

I’ve thought about that too. It should always show two codes (the current one and the previous one), and websites should accept both. Then when you open the app, you can always start typing the most recent one and have at least the whole in

Most water usage is agricultural. And increasing density decreases per-capita water usage because there are fewer lawns to water per person.

by anchpop 5y ago
Density is better for the environment and reduces housing costs which benefits poor people and minorities. The primary beneficiaries of the current arrangement are rich white landowners who in many cases pay virtually no property tax. Stabl

You’ve got it backwards. The newcomers will come - if rich people want to move somewhere, they’ll easily outbid any poor people currently living somewhere when it comes to finding a place to rent. The existing population will be displaced i

in what way is someone who owns multiple residences and renting them out hoarding them? Why would the number of houses people own affect rents at all?
175.
by anchpop 5y ago
That shouldn’t affect the price of rent though. Landlords are largely price takers and have no pricing power. But rents are also going up.

Not being able to do something has never stopped people from needing to do it :P That said, with Google's paper "towards an api for the real numbers", you get close enough for many practical purposes

That doesn’t let you work with arbitrary real numbers because the vast majority of real numbers cannot by symbolicly encoded, even on a turing machine with infinite memory

if you lose your passport while in a foreign country you’re permanently locked out of ever traveling back home? that can’t possibly be true. I can see it being hard if you have no living family though

if the fine is the cost of the externality divided by the odds of getting caught, then the incentives are still aligned
