I enjoy my work, but it is just that - work . I give my work 100% in good humour when I am working, but I think the expectation that I'm going to go home and do more of the same on my own time is unfair and unhealthy. No other profess

Does anyone else think it's a bit self defeating to describe this product affordable and ubiquitous and then have a link to shop charging $60 for them?

Right, but my browser isn't doing that. Therefore the original point still stands.

Has anyone tried this with their face or someone who isn’t a celebrity? I’m curious if it works but don’t really want to upload my picture.

Is it fair to _ever_ say that clearing the history completely removes all traces of visited sites? I have always operated under the assumption that some trace will remain pretty much forever.

Do you expect that students will utilise the backtracking aspect of the software? I think 12 year old me would just use the solver and then log off.

This feels like a pretty empty symbolic change.

I think the problem is that there is no single definition for many things around this app. Each country has a different definition of what constitutes contact for example.

I think there are times when the go it alone and keep calm carry on attitude works well, but this is not one of them. Hopefully lessons will be learned.

This is cool - I think smartphones are are best defence against violent police oversteps. Now everyone has a camera with them and we are seeing the results. Democratisation of surveillance.

I'm in the UK, which doesn't have land taxes. Stamp duty is one time payment.

That would require modifying the plumbing system of the house, which would require to own the house or have the landlord's permission.

I'm very skeptical that these plants can significantly change the indoor environment, unless you turn your house into a greenhouse. Does anyone have a source pointing to the contrary?

I wonder if the model here is missing something important - it assumes there is no survival penalty for a false positive attack. In real life this isn’t true. Activating a fight or flight response in humans and animals has an energy (surviv

I think it goes back a lot longer than that - humans have been using symbols to express feelings for thousands of years. Written language is really the child of that. Personally I think humans will always communicate via little pictogram sy
