This is why some hardware is still supreme. I've had the same Korg chromatic tuner for 20 years and would not be in the least bit surprised if it goes for another 40.

Better doesn't sell. That is why there are 10+ firms. There probably is a genuinely better solution at that point. But sales departments sell, so you are more likely to get the product that has the strongest sales department than one t

This is clean burning? No outputs beyond h2o and heat to atmosphere?

Isn't burying in a landfill better than burning considering the carbon sequestration considerations of burning what will likely be plastic products? At least with burying we are a little bit closer to putting the oil energy back under

I agree $7 sounds steep but go ahead and look at the grocery store and be as shocked as I was. They are stamped this way from the factory. I was shocked.

Ai notetaking is such as signal for stupidity but I'm not surprised that it is getting so much traction. It is basically like getting all your lecture notes from the A student so you can fuck around instead of paying actual attention t

Most of the support is severely binned now to edge cases. You can't just make a genius bar appointment anymore like you used to. You get triaged and most of the flow punts you to some unhelpful support or even worse, apple discussion f

Another aspect of the human version is that the human version is deterministic. Call center workers have a flow that is pretty much a series of if else statements with appropriate edge cases already carved out and places to break out and es

Smells like the governor who is a known sycophant to capital has gotten some heat among the public on data center roll out, so in comes industry seeking to self regulate itself no doubt in such a way that pulls up the ladder behind it while

While that is true there is variance it doesn't vary to the point of overcoming the basic thermodynamics at play. Facts are, you eat fewer calories, you lose weight. You burn more calories than previously without eating to make up the

If they ever gave a shit about voice controls we could have had that 20 years ago with a desktop monitor in the garage. But sadly phones still screw up 50 and 15 with voice controls today. Scrubbing through video would be pretty frustrating

It is amazing seeing how openly corrupt red states are in recent years. At least blue states still attempt to maintain a fig leaf. Has it always been this way with the red states or have things legitimately gotten worse?

It has got to be bad. I noticed full size lays bags are now stamped for $7 and change. $7 for a bag of potato chips you'd think that was crazy bougie organic chip prices with some dill and Himalayan pink salt. But no, that's what

Its always funny to me at the costco when they have their deli with the whatever 6.99 rotating turkey sandwich creation they are offering, standing along side the $1.50 hotdog. No one in that line is buying the damn $7 sandwich. I don'

There is a spectrum of how good a product is between "doesn't work at all" to "falls apart in a couple uses" to "lasts five generations of your families lives." Companies tiptoe this fine line between havi

They invented an LED light that can detect when it has been covered with sharpie? That is more interesting tech to me than the rest of the hardware stack.

All things you can already do with the phone you already own. Only it isn't mounted on the wall I guess. But is that really such a showstopper that demands this technology? You could also get a dummy screen that displays this info. Rem

The rub is that if they did a good job with those things, they would have worked. Most people cannot accurately account for calories and poorly estimate how hard they are actually working out.

Seriously. It is like if The Onion made a linkedin it would just be a direct carbon copy of how the site already is. They probably got a team of data scientists running ml on Zip! metrics.

If I could make white collar pay landscaping, that's what I'd do for the rest of my life. One of the best jobs I had but they pay only a couple dollars above minimum wage.
