This already is a core grocery competency. Did you think that the shelf placement of goods was chosen on a whim? Every shelf is a billboard where prime placement is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Digital shelves are still stupid a

Probably! In that sense, this may be the first time anyone has attempted to maintain a large index of games by power consumpion. I do find it somewhat amusing that the existence of the Deck inadvertently creates a universal benchmark. I w

You've hit the nail on the head. The basic appeal arises from hitting the triple point of performance, cost, and portability. Much of the nerdier crowd is also excited about the consequences of the device becoming popular. The Deck m

That's exciting to hear! I'm following an eclectic strategy where I isolate and separately learn spoken and written Japanese. The process looks a little like this: 1. I start with a deck of Anki vocabularly notes that I want to ac

I love JPDB, it's cool to randomly see you in the wild! I can't personally use JPDB ( due to my own niche learning strategy, not a flaw in JPDB ), but I desperately want to be able to consume the underlying data. It's just

This happened to me last year. They fired most of the management staff and replaced them with half as many soulless middle managers. Office hours were cut down to the bare minimum and they started cheaping out on maintenance throughout the

Here's one idea: sensor-based washing. I doubt anyone is currently doing this, but the idea can at least hold water ( ba-dum-tss ). You'd keep the dumb maximum spray-area approach for the pre-wash & rinse cycles, but replace t

I don't understand why silly design outcomes like this make me smile, but they make me smile nonetheless. Something about it just manages to tickle both my inner engineer and my inner jester in equal measure. It's made all the s

The number increments get more significant the further from 100 you get. 75 IQ is under the fifth percentile -- definitely not common.

I guess the core problem is the false advertising. Zoom "supports" Wayland-only distros... with the fine print that they only support outdated builds from before the switch to Wayland. Aside from that, my only complaint is that Zo

That's certainly an eyecatching idea! I'd hate to be engineer in charge of that idea, though... how would you even begin to drive webmaster adoption? Even with the leverage of their massive userbases, Google/Facebook logins a

Sure... but "good investment" and "good VC investment" aren't exactly the same thing. 1Password isn't exactly small and it's not exactly poised to explode either. I get that there's an untapped market

I'll vouch for BitWarden. You can self-host or use their cloud offering. The server software and all of the clients are open source. I've personally been using the cloud offering for several years now and feel quite satisfied with

It really makes me wonder what kind of conversations had to happen to bring investors on-board. I don't want to give too much credit to investor types, but... surely this must have thrown up some red flags? Exactly what kind of moon-sh

I've never overseen a merger before, let alone one of this scale, so pardon my blatant speculation... but will that really be such an issue? It seems to me that the mismanagement of Acti/Blizz is a product of a corrupt corporate a

I wonder if this was influenced by Valve's recent "Deck" teardown video?[1] I'd love to see this become a trend in the "boutique" hardware space -- it's a lot harder to cut corners on the internals when yo

It's rather impressive that you have the mental fortitude to get meaningful stuff done in your spare time after working in a fast-food kitchen all day. More than I suspect most have, myself included. Even as a young adult, the heavy la

Worth noting: mortgages typically compound daily, whilst annualized inflation figures measure inflation as if it compounded annually. A 3% APR mortgage comes out to about 4% APY, which is a little more directly comparable to an annualized i

I imagine you could get a lot of mileage out of a "documentation fuzzer". If you hire employees in batches, simply swap x% of the field values between each of their onboarding papers and then enjoy the show!

That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Being underwater on a loan doesn't instantly bankrupt you. As long as Mr. Bob is actually living in his house and not just speculating on the market, he's still quite likely to come o
