My understanding is that this is more of the equivalent of making sure you land on heads all 3 times. In that case it’s a 1/8th on 3 coin flips, no?

Transparency is great, and I think the main balance that might be missing in this context is how much frequency/latency there is between events that are taking place. I see it more like a stock ticker. There are ups and downs, some big

On-Site.com is a legitimate company (used to work there). They use a lot of integrations and third party services for credit/background checks. AFAIK, they were even using a vendor that would try to get court documents if records could

Isn’t the issue with these that ultimately it relies on someone to make good tools around, and whoever ends up owning those tools ends up owning and re-centralizing all of these decentralized entities? (e.g. Coinbase owning everyone’s walle

This seems to imply that “Ananas Pizza” was the first pizza ordered online in the late 80s. Also has a fun blast from the past of it being used. https://youtu.be/XoTiQ3NkYXQ

Hmm, it looks like most countries (incl China) adopt the Gregorian calendar as their official calendar. India and much of Northern Africa do not adopt the Gregorian calendar. By my estimate, that would be 1/5 of the population as oppos

I think Facebook is “that bad”, but one point I thought was believable was about major advertisers not wanting to be associated with hate mongering posts in the first place. I’m prone to believe that, but also not sure that is has anything

It seems like some types of rules should be enforced once and other types should always happen. I’d imagine a rule to check the existing market and determine if there are too many duplicates should be on first submission only and not enforc

I’ve heard it said that if humanity simply maintains its growth pace, there should be enough human bodies to pile up into the entire solar system just by waiting X number of years.

Last I read, the effectiveness of cloud seeding is still up for debate. Wikipedia has a section on effectiveness, “A study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences failed to find statistically significant support for the effectiveness

Having experience with most of these types of issues, I think there might be a bit of a scarecrow here. In particular, the remedy to each repair is presented as “replacement”. It is my experience with most landlords that they will not “repl

Being in a unique position of renting out properties that I own while simultaneously renting, it seems like some of this is taken a little out of proportion. My net experience is that the burden of dealing with said landlord to get somethin

After looking at the Wikipedia page for Parallel Construction[1], there is a subsection about the UK, it mentioned that one could argue that parallel construction is now a concept that applies in the UK as of 2016. It then points to an arti

I think the fact that “check your spam” is so widely understood is a testament to false positives in the inbox being an issue for Gmail. Ideally this phrase would not be so widely known and understood if Gmail didn’t have so many false posi

I’d be interested to hear what good email tools look like if you have a chance to post some examples.

Curious to hear which bank you’re using now. Especially since I haven’t found a great Simple-like bank that supports joint accounts.

Around the internet, I saw 5% transaction fee. But, like Plaid, they probably customize the fee based on the product sold and volume.

I think Ruby can have some nice parts to reading it. e.g. 10.times do puts “Hello” end or send_email if user.unconfirmed? Compared to ES6 as an example: Array.from(Array(10)).forEach((_, _i) => { c

This sort of implies that all crying is the same. The data you can get as a parent is a lot richer than that. There is a difference between “stirring”, “moaning”, “calling”, and “crying”. There is also a question of whether you know in adva

5 of the 6 points noted in OP’s comment had to do with brick’s rigidity and compressive strength. 1 point was related to the environment. Plastic bricks are an alternative to sand/clay bricks. Traditional bricks first appeared in China

I see this as a declarative vs imperative approach. The interface is a bit barebones and heavy right now by needing to fire up node and run the functions. But like declarative vs imperative DevOps, the declarative nature of the resulting fo

I think it’s fair to say that “swapping” the symbolic colors with each other would be an antipattern in most cases. But here’s one scenario. Let’s assume the app in question is used for therapy or meditation[0] and its primary color is a sa

I think there is a lot of validity to this article. But extrapolated as “general advice” would seem to replicate Bootstrap aesthetics every time. Saying, “Well, you need a color for the errors, and the successes, and the warnings” will almo
