Don't feel sad. If you look at a set of all ever existing humans, the number that ever interact is incredibly small. Even if in the same vicinity, and time, eg same apartment building, subway, street, driving down the road, there is o

This title is misleading. It isn't about them not being needed. Instead, as per article, it is about how these shots will save more lives, if administered to people without access to first shots! If vaccine doses were unlimited worldw

Of course that is important to artists. We all have egos, and their hand, the creator's hand, has more value to them. Yet, this does not mean the viewer shall have the same perspective. For them, the stimulus, not the source, may be

Users are the product... Do you care what gold thinks, as you mine it? No, you only care about raw cost. And if you lose some gold, but in the end save money, who cares? Which makes one wonder, should OSS vs profit driven, think of such thi

Configuration adds complexity and is a huge source of confusion for users This is overstated, and blown out of proportion these days. Many of the studies stating so are 30 years old, at a time when virtually everyone was new to computing.

Maybe you'll never read this, but a thought... I've basically run out of new movies to watch, which are good. Yet some movies over the years, maybe a few every year, are quite good. The further back I go, the more nuanced (from m

The joke goes further than that. This implies that the emperor may not be heir to the throne. Or, may not be 'high born'. This was 2000-2500 years ago, perhaps. Legitimacy came from the male in these times. So, having a shared f

Organic Maps isn't as full featured, but so far, works well for directions here. Also works 100% offline, after downloading maps.

Are they? Maybe. What if it is like forest fire prevention? The dead timber accumulates, and thus when an uncontained fire breaks out, it is 1000s of times worse as a result. Fully managed forests, sometimes have controlled burns now, to

There is often confusion between wind chill, and actual temps. But the parent is not inaccurate, for they did not mention "each year". Even 10 minutes North of Ottawa, I saw -42C, real, not just windchill, for a week, about a dec

Replying to myself here, after reading. I have no idea, after reading. I wish I knew if the delays were standard (eg, backlog), and so on. I also wish I knew how others in this situation fare. As a Canuck, I want no special treatment for

One thing I do know, is that the data sharing arrangement between the US and Canada, shares criminal records. For both countries, pardons, commuted sentences, do not hide the transfer of information, and are meaningless. This is because ea

Heh. Almost like having old style photos, you stored the negatives in grandma's garage, but they got wet and now have mold on them. You can still make out who's who in them. Sorta.

One thing, sometimes phones are released, but manufactured for 2 or 3 years, plus sit on store shelves for a year after that. Today, you can often find such new phones on sale, yet already? No security updates. End of support. So the li
