Up to 70% or more of statistics in sales calls are exaggerated, waffley or completely made up.

It's a book, not a demonstration. In any case, North Koreans are not taught that South Korea is just like any other part of North Korea. The idea that the North Korean people and leadership are all buffoons who make the weirdest of li

People want a lot of stuff in Firefox. However, people also seem to neatly bin all features into either "obviously necessary part of a web browser" and "obviously extraneous nonsense" when what they really mean is "

In Germany it could be computer fraud, which criminalises entering incorrect data into a computer system for financial gain. I don't know if "watching a different set of shows on Netflix" would qualify.

If there were that many, why do people only list the same handful again and again? And where are all the /operators/ of those websites complaining? Is it possible that installing an XSLT processor on the server is not as big a has

> Any system accessible with a firewall exception is not "air-gapped" by definition. I completely agree. Maybe I should have put "air-gapped" in quotes.

Sure there are examples of websites using XSLT, but so far I've only seen the dozen or maybe two dozen, and it really looks like they are extremely rare. And I'm pretty sure the EU parliament et. al. will find someone to rework

If I had a dollar for each time I was told that they would get me a firewall exception to get to the air gapped system... It does make it much easier to do stuff but kinda defeats the purpose.

Probably. We keep watching all kind of stuff after getting baited into it. AI slob is annoying, but we do want to know what chefs do about sticky pizza dough, or what that secret in the pyramids is, or how the kid reacted to what the cat di

Many governments and public bodies used Flash, ActiveX and Java applets, but I'm certainly glad we got rid of those.

This would need to be tested. There's a lot going on already during normal take-offs. Now you're in a situation where the engine fire alarm is going off, probably a few other alarms, you got so many messages on your display that i

If you work near water you should be wearing a life vest. Especially if it's an area that may be hard to get to or where other dangers are around or if you're alone.

If, when asked why most mathematicians are men, from the whole universe of possibilities there are only two reasons that come to your mind: women are emotional, or it's random chance - then I have really bad news about your talent for

What an absolutely hilarious idea that appeals to emotion are a uniquely feminine way to tackle a problem, while men just go on and make logical arguments, which I assume they then scrutinize rationally to be convinced by the most rigorousl

I thought you were referring to that. But what's so bad about highly profitable places receiving less subsidy? Framed that way it's not as outrageous, right? There's no malicious encouragement to build wind power where it doe

You're mixing up historic costs with current costs. As an illustration: the moon landing cost just $25 billion dollars, the Manhattan project even just $2 billion, what do you think a project of these scales would cost today? You'

I don't know what the name of the internet law is, but I think it goes something like: when someone tells you about a regulation and how outrageously stupid it obviously is, they probably misrepresented it or frames it in an adventurou

Electricity prices are only very tangentially related to production cost. As you say yourself, grid costs are a factor. > France has lower electricity prices France has incredibly high subsidies for nuclear power, and it's still not

Why wouldn't you build wind turbines in Southern Germany? "Generally less wind" does not mean "wind power is infeasible", which it is absolutely not. There are fewer good spots, but that's why, say, the state o

Speed bumps work but putting big flower pots in the way is even better. It forces people to slow down without giving them the feeling that they get slowed down for no reason. We humans are so easy to trick.

Why would the future value of the company not benefit you? Do your shares get stolen or cease to exist? I assumed you were to sell them.

by cedilla 1y ago
There's no reason to speculate about who the future shareholder will be, nor is there any good reason to just assume that favouring short-term gains will favour the current shareholders more. It's also unknown if a shareholder wou

Fish was weird at first, with it's insistence on `or` instead of `||`, and `and` instead of `&&`. Since they relented on this, there's not much non-POSIX weirdness for me. From time to time I'll try to `export` someth

Funny how the article starts with someone using AI — to develop more AI stuff. This reminds me of web3, where almost all projects were just web3 infrastructure or services, to the point that the purpose of most start-ups was completely insc

It's federalistic. It's a bit drastic - but I guess no one could imagine one state having 66 times the population as another in 1789. Other federal states compensate for that - for example, in the German Bundesrat, each state gets

If you had asked me yesterday, I would have bet money on a treasure chest already being an official emoji.

In principle yes, but of course they don't have to. It's their own choice to have bespoke drawings. They also could just refuse to add the new emoji and just show �.
