To clarify: You're saying you do this more often than you order takeout ? Especially during Covid? Because I explicitly said I believe it happens, just that it's a minority of calls.

It seems unlikely that there is a large contingent of people who Google a restaurant (which they must be doing in order to get Yelp's number), ignore the listing of hours right next to the number and call the restaurant to get the hour

That isn't really germane to a conversation about Tesla cars. The lowest-range cars Tesla ever made had more than double the battery capacity of a 2011 Leaf (and unlike the 2011 Leaf, they all have battery-warming tech).

So your reading of the First Amendment is that if I'm hosting a party and somebody starts belligerently accusing me of trying to steal their wife, I can't kick them out or else the First Amendment will no longer protect me from go

That is actually not a problem. It's not sustainable if everyone is a full-time chef — that doesn't mean being a full-time chef is bad. The problem here is that these people are in a disadvantaged and unsatisfying position in soci

This seems like a false equivalence. Trans people aren't trying to tell cis people that their physical bodies aren't allowed to matter to them, nor to invalidate cis people's gender or force them to be treated as another gend

That's a nonstarter for a service that's for anyone but the geekiest of geeks, though. If you have to be close to someone with both the tech know-how and interest to host an instance of a federated service, the service is effectiv

The last decade has given us some pretty good illustrations of how it can be dangerous to give credence to baseless conspiracy theories.

What does "took into account temperature and pressure" mean if we agree there are many unknowns that the temperature and pressure are interacting with? If you weren't trying to say they have ruled out other explanations, I ca

Who is "they"? The scientists who conducted the research did not conclude that this was rock-solid evidence of life, and they plainly note that there are too many unknowns to rule out natural reactions that just don't occur i

This is a preposterous claim that requires a lot of revision to be even close to true. Marketplace owners have been using their own games' exclusivity to push their platforms since Steam's introduction. Even just talking about thi

I have written crawlers with this functionality (not for Cloudflare, but for sites that implemented the same technique themselves), and it didn't seem like a big problem.

I've found this change can be beneficial even in non-email formats like chat. I have a few theories as to why: 1. When you front-load the explanation before the thing you're explaining (the request), the reader doesn't make t

To me, that's fine if you're actually having a conversation (i.e. that chat window is likely to be in the foreground). It can be a case of using spare bandwidth to minimize latency, so to speak. But it's terrible if the threa

Medicare for All is a proposed law (S.1129 and H.R.1384) that expands Medicare to be a comprehensive single-payer system for all Americans. It has fairly high bipartisan support in polls, but relatively few (and only Democrat) supporters in

You arrived at the conclusion that something can be worth more than you paid for it, which is the point I was trying to illustrate (because the person I was replying to assumed that the lowest price you can pay = worth). So it seems like th

That sounds like a win-win scenario. In cases where robots can do things so efficiently that no human could compete when the minimum wage is a living wage, robots will can do the jobs and anyone who could only have done that job will be OK.

The parent was comparing the value a worker brings to the company against the worker's compensation. To illustrate how the worth of a transaction can be different from the cost: If I offer to give you a $50 bill in exchange for a $5 bi

Isn't Apple's objection to what Epic did here the fact that these purchases didn't use Apple's infrastructure and platform? Unless by "using Apple's platform," you mean "done by an iPhone user,"

When competitors non-coincidentally decide to set their prices the same arbitrary number, that's called "price fixing" and it is potentially an antitrust issue.

It doesn't matter whether your parents care. My point is that they are separate practices with different pros and cons, so using the benefits of one to justify the other doesn't make sense.

You're conflating different things under the header of "Apple's iron grip" here. It is beneficial to your parents that Apple prevents spyware better than Google does. It is not beneficial to your parents that they obsess

Sure, in the strictly technical sense, there's "SOOOO much you can do" — but that's not really useful information, is it? Just because you could pound sand, or eat dirt, or bang your head into a wall, that doesn't m
