Depending on the wavelength I guess there exist lightweight mesh fabrics that are pretty efficient at blocking waves. Wonder if that would work for this application.

I don't know, I saw this same argument in the gun community. Stop calling them accidental discharges, call them negligent discharges. Both they and you make good points as to why. But, then what does the meaning of accident become?

Same for me! I don't know if I just got grumpier as I got older, or the smartphone era happened to occur in the same time, but I literally dread going to a theater. Instead of focusing on the movie, I just realize how self entitled s

Yeah, that Lecun argument was a really bad first impression of her from me. I guess she found out life isn't Twitter and you can't just go around telling everyone they are bad and wrong without consequences.

Don't forget to add stealing code to the list. Dude swiped some of our open source code and just replaced our name with his own in the copyright. Class act, that guy.

I can't be bothered to grab numbers, but in the US, and perhaps elsewhere, I'd wager that the number of people a) over 55, or b) obese, or c) otherwise high risk make up more than half the population, or very much near it.

The market is way overvalued. Hold cash until it corrects.

You could, at rush hour, drive to microcenter, buy all the components, drive to home depot and buy a generator and gas can, go back to the office and assemble everything, fill and turn on the generator...in less time than this outage has la

I think I'd rather just have predetermined steps/milestones. Think about it...what does 71 percent really mean? Would you get excited when it goes it 72? It's just an opaque, useless metric. If instead I can see something

Modern web as in...? Tinygram prevention is a TCP level actor, with no regard to whether it's sending db queries or webpages. With the prevalence of "smart" appliances and ever coming IOT, I'd argue it's more impo

Because it's virtue signaling all the way down. Not to be hateful, but if you look how the groups align it makes little sense. Those who most seek to protect those ignorant people call terrorists, or illegals who need to be sent back

Hard disagree. Not doing a thing is by no means a political statement (your BLM example). Now if they put up an All Lives Matter flag, then you have an argument. Further, I'd argue selling a service or product with no judgement of th

That's interesting, and after investigating it seems this is true. I'm sure my recollection is correct, which means the recruiter with whom I spoke was perhaps misleading me, whether purposely or not.

It is rare, but every couple years I do that big what if for different scenarios in life. Just for fun mostly, but it's hard not to get frustrated when your dream life is so much better. But no, I try to have no regrets. I know enoug

2003. They called me unsolicited and talked for an hour. He specifically said they didn't offer academic scholarships, and that perhaps I could join something like crew and go for a scholarship that way.

Same story, but Yale and a couple others. Had a great SAT score, national merit scholar, yada yada. The big names don't even offer academic scholarships. There's not a chance in hell my family or I could have afforded it. Edit:

Agreed. What FB did here is really scummy, they are clearly violating your license, so stick it to them on that issue. By bringing up unrelated issues one muddies the original intent.

Sigh, I never made a claim as to why the south left. Slavery is not the reason for the war, secession is. You can easily make the case that slavery was the reason for secession, which isn't wrong, but a moot point. If states had sec

by axaxs 6y ago
Exactly. Many of the people who make civil war/anti south jokes are the same people who want California to secede, which makes no sense. In its simplest form, the civil war wasn't fought because the north thought slavery was bad.

Great idea, I love finding music I'd typically have never heard about, foreign or other. I can't wait to go through this thread later. Just to participate I'll share one I consider obscure, though it's not my language a

As I wrote elsewhere, previously. I agree it's a mess, but not the end of the world. Extract the file -not- preserving directory structure(-j flag). Now you just have everything in a single folder. Then delete the metadata files by

In fairness, cars were much more likely to explode back then. I still remember my dad bolting a piece of steel behind the rear seat of a mustang, because there was a good chance of the passengers being engulfed in flames from a rear end co

Facebook already determines your political leaning, somehow. At least a few years ago you could see it for yourself, not sure if that still exists. I'm sure without a shadow of a doubt Google makes the same determination. So they pr

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. I'm not so sure this phone is intended to scam gullible people, just to give people a plausible status symbol.

As another mentioned, Amazon Photos is good for this. Plus they give you unlimited original resolution photo storage.
