The mayor of the town (a Republican) came out and straight up said Trump was lying about his town. The only people reporting it could barely point to the town on a map.

For those who don't know: The "roomette" is still your own room, with two beds that are couches during the day, and the porter converts them and makes your bed for you. Roomettes also have a toilet in them, so if you're

I've done a long sleeper solo from NY -> Chicago (it's just overnight, so not as long). It was fantastic, but I got reverse seasick after getting off the train. Trying to sit on a bar stool was a challenge for about 36 hours

Even the Eastern US has to deal with river and water landings all the time. You can book a scheduled flight from the East River right in-between Manhattan and Brooklyn to Marthas Vineyard, or the Hamptons or a number of other destinations.

Here in NYC the MTA bus time app is pretty accurate, Google Maps's timing for bus arrivals I've never seen be accurate on the other hand.

It works fine for the trains and busses, you either don't live in NYC or don't know what you're talking about? The MTA app and displays are almost dead on accurate for arrival times for the busses and trains. Sometimes there&

112 works in the reverse way in the US as well (along with 999 which is the equivalent in many other countries such as the UK). There's not really any reason not to have many numbers just in case. Tourists shouldn't have to memo

Yea, it's not really the left that's the big proponents of this (maybe a few very fringe people). It's the ones literally given Nazi salutes at political rallies.

Sadly go look at the "masculine" channels targeting young men on YouTube (Tate and his compatriots). There's a LOT of holocaust denial, rewriting of Hitler as misunderstood etc. We're both lucky to not be exposed to it r

If you want a book in the same vein, and contemporary with Bletchley "Turning's Cathedral" by George Dyson is about the Institute for Advanced Study and the Manhattan Project. Needless to say there's a lot of overlap and

tech has changed, but it's fundamentally doing the exact same job. GCHQ/NSA is still using the techniques pioneered at Bletchley.

WWII had little to do with America? Go look up lend/lease and then remember we were bombed by Japan. The US was intrinsically linked to WWII from the beginning, just not with troops on the ground.

Because boring and stable is good. I'm not a Django fan (Rails guy here) but it's battle tested for years, there's tons of support for it, it supports server-side rendering (not just a backend for React, which god help me if

If you can, try to rewatch it on a proper screen. The clothing and sets are incredible and the costume design and production design were nominated for an Oscar. It really deserves to be seen large.

Except those iPad apps also have to have a Web app now, and if you don't have a custom MacOS app your iPad app has to look good when run in MacOS. You then have to support all iPhone models. But also maybe Windows and probably Android.

The problem here is people die when those things are removed even for a few weeks or months. You don't get to "put back" security for SSN data when it's already been accessed by foreign governments. He's not doing t

The difference is those were private platforms not giving a soapbox to certain politicians that were quite clearly violating private terms of service. This is the federal government deleting taxpayer-funded content, data and studies. They

You can intercept and modify messages on the fly. This helps a lot if you want to update legacy code, but don't want to break other classes that use the same call. It also allows for modularization more easily. I have a project that re

The developers that made Google and Facebook and such were highly paid. The people who were hired for a dollar an hour to train the anti-CP models most certainly were not and have instead suffered horrible trauma. Externalities are so easil
