I think that in general, a course that (a) gets the ship from where it started to where it needs to go and (b) stays within navigation channels and (c) minimizes the amount of time spent in configurations where a loss of control would resul

I don't think that reddit is "backfilling." I don't have time to check right now, but I suspect that PowerDeleteSuite goes through your profile to find things to delete. Your profile is limited to showing 1k entries.

I don't see where GP claimed that we subsidized bulk mail. My reading is that the complaint is that ads (which are by far the largest component of bulk mail) are subsidizing everything else, which leads to us paying in time and attent

I don't think they were decrying the use of Angstroms, but rather the continued use of size-based terminology that has become decoupled from the actual size of any physical features.

Your date and place of birth would not be helpful, but an analogous attack may be possible. The key factors are when and where you applied and that the SSN was issued before June 25, 2011.

PSA: If you are of a certain age, the last four digits might be roughly all of the useful entropy in your SSN. Be careful with them. Before 2011, the first three digits indicated the office that issued the number and the middle two (the &

I use it every day. There are two roughly equivalent paths that I could take, so I use it for information on traffic conditions, and then I leave it running on the off chance that it might route me around a slowdown that wasn't presen

Combustion-powered vehicles are something of an exception, because only a small fraction of their pollution is associated with their creation. Buying a new car every few years probably isn't optimal, but operating an ICE vehicle for d

I wouldn't read too much into this story, as any people who do benefit from THC probably wouldn't be visiting an emergency department for cannabis-related reasons. I'll also say, as someone with an anxiety disorder, that it

Users don't need to be aware of the header, they just need to use a client that knows what to do with it.

For me, it's about screen real estate, not looks. More pixels is more usable space, until you have to start scaling things up for comfort. I find a 27 inch 4k monitor to be comfortable without scaling, but I think it's just abou

Your intuition about braking force matches the thing that triggered alarm bells in your head: work = force x distance, so if the force is approximately constant the kinetic energy dissipated will be approximately constant per unit distance.

The scaled scores are intended to be directly comparable, so the mapping from raw score to scaled score depends on the difficulty of the questions on the particular test that you took. On a sufficiently hard section, you can miss a questio

Where I live, Delta offers a plan that essentially provides a set price list for various procedures as long as you are in network. Perhaps the person you're replying to has run into that plan and didn't realize that they also hav

How are you paying your premium? For individual plans, I suspect that a lot of people use a card.

He was told that after the grace period ends, his account would become "read-only". Interpreting "read-only" as "I will still have read access to the data" is not unreasonable. I'm guessing that neither

Moving 237.22 TB in 7 days requires ~3.14 Gbps of bandwidth, assuming that the clock starts ticking the moment that he actually starts moving data. In practice, the requirements would be even higher (subtracting out the time between notice

For what it's worth, I would be willing to pay full price for YouTube Premium without YouTube Music. The value is there for me, but I voted with my wallet when they replaced a perfectly good music app with YouTube Music and I'm n

There's nothing wrong with the concept of discoverability. Having the capability of discovering how to do thing X without referring to documentation is fine. The problem is when users are forced to rely on it because the documentatio

Words do seem to have some influence on perception. Specifically, colors appear to be easier to distinguish if they fall within the bounds of separate basic color terms ( https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.07016

I would actually point to YouTube as a bad example. YouTube refuses to make the absolute timestamp available unless you actually navigate to a particular video's page. That makes it impossible to see which video uploaded "X peri

Outside the edit window: I just realized that I missed the mention of the timescale. The apnea/hypopnea index is measured in terms of events per hour, and my doctors never discussed it in any other terms, so I automatically interprete

From what I remember an apnea/hypopnia index of up to 5 is considered normal, 5-15 is mild, 15-30 is medium, and 30+ is severe. That's what I learned when I had severe sleep apnea, but it spontaneously resolved years ago so perha

I'm willing to entertain the idea that copy/paste from SO may the right option in some cases, but you have to apply at least a little scrutiny. I'm not sure exactly where the bar should be for an MVP, but "[s]ometimes i

I don't think that there was any misreading there. GP is applying GGP's logic to a different kind of debt to make a point.

My current car (like all of the cars I've had since 2008) allows you to set a temperature target with physical controls. I don't change it as often as I changed the older direct controls, but I do change it often enough that I wo

Even that isn't guaranteed to work, because different sets of people in the same place might have different time zones based on political affiliation. That's rare, but it has happened so it certainly could happen again.
