With a MBP, sure. I don’t want a machine that large however. I have both a 14” Pro and a 15” Air that feels significantly smaller than its “smaller” counterpart…

It’s frustrating. I wish they would just charge an extra $X for the privilege of using multiple external monitors. I like the form factor of the MBA as is… if I need to compromise on that, I might as well choose a different machine.

Can we use more than one external display yet?

Without clear evidence, I wouldn't attribute this to people becoming healthier. The increasing availability of alternatives (i.e. legal marijuana) and demographic changes seem like more probable factors, as the article suggests. A more

Isn't that sort of the point? This is a Y Combinator project, so it seems reasonable that founders can come here to have their ideas picked apart. Most startups will probably receive a kinder reception here than in the real world, afte

Is there any type of surveillance that would be "too much," assuming it was intended for the same purpose? Is there any reason to doubt the intentions or execution of US govt. surveillance programs?

> For the very last example, we have a 28-year-old man, earning well below average in NYC (90k a year), who nonetheless saves $2,000 a month. I'm sensing a bias here. $90k a year is definitely not "well below average in NYC&q

I mentioned "(Proto-) fascists and other reactionary types" because that's one obvious answer to your question. I'm not implying that everyone who supports cutting liberal arts funding fits within that category.

The Turris Omnia is a good option, though perhaps not for the prices I see listed today (I paid $150 a year or two ago). Runs a customized (still open source) version of OpenWrt by default, but you can load anything you want on it - it&#x27

Why do we need global-scale conglomerates to produce our beer??? I’ve always thought that local breweries serving locals should be the default, not an exception.

I used this with a Thunderbolt drive array and a 2018 Mac mini for a while and it seemed to work pretty well. Occasionally, it wouldn't auto-mount the ZFS volume after a reboot, but I don't recall having any other issues.

I'll be casting my vote with the skeptics for this one. That said, even if economic activity was fully decoupled from emissions, Earth's environmental problems would remain overwhelming. Biodiversity loss, deforestation, aquifer d

I sort of assumed headphones were the OP's actual primary audio source. Makes more sense. I end up using headphones half the time anyway because that allows for more convenient audio options when taking calls on multiple devices throug
