The small phone in general seems dead. Android phones don't even have good small options anymore. I'm hoping that folding phones are here to save the day in a "the king is dead long live the king moment" as screens have

Do not use those cables under any circumstances. They're not safe. The USB spec is not designed to accommodate chargers like that and they're a fire/device ruining hazard. Get a good usb-c cable from a reputable manufacturer.

They didn't. They called it "Dropbox Advanced for businesses" and whenever they mention storage it's always in the context of it being for team collaboration or documents. "As much space as you need. Get as much spa

> Dropbox prices are pretty good. I was looking at even AWS s3 _glacier_ and it seems way more expensive. That's because glacier stores exactly what you tell it to store. Dropbox is taking advantage of a lot of compression technique

You definitely can if they're blatantly not using the product as designed. If I offer "unlimited pdf storage" and then people start encoding petabytes of videos as PDFs, that's abusing the system. Dropbox for business is

They need to make this warning more prominent throughout their website. The main site, honeycode.aws, doesn't mention this at all until the user tries to create an account. Someone can easily waste a few hours reading their documentati

The ability to get huge amounts of VRAM/$ is what I find incredibly interesting. A lot of diffusion techniques are incredibly VRAM intensive and high VRAM consumer cards are rare and expensive. I'll gladly take the slower speeds o

Why is the immediate assumption this was done intentionally and not a temporary outage? It more than likely is, but it's awful journalism to see an issue in a website and conclude that was an intentional issue targeting websites musk d

Again, I never said it was the standard. I was saying why 1 hour offsets make more sense than 15 minutes or two hours. I never said different offsets don't exist, I said why they make less sense

by chickenpotpie 3y ago
Doesn't it? I was explaining why 1 hour as the standard makes sense instead of 30 minutes or 2 hours. The :45 time zones would still be an issue for 30 minute intervals and :30 and :45 are still an issue for 2 hour intervals

Won't people just end up coming up with their own pseudo time zones anyways? If I'm in New York and I'm calling someone in Seattle, aren't I gonna have to just mentally subtract 3 or so hours anyways?

by chickenpotpie 3y ago
1 hour is easy to remember, makes the math easier, and not so far apart that it creates radically different concepts of time for people on the extreme ends. With one hour time zones: * If someone is 3 time zones ahead, they're 3 hours

You didn't respond to any of my points at all. One area being at risk of something doesn't lower the risk in a different area.

I understand how wet bulb temperature works just fine. You didn't need to write a snarky response to engage in this discussion. Now include climate change raising the temperature and changing the length and severity of monsoon season,

The wet bulb temperature of Phoenix still gets very high. Last July, there was an average wet bulb temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. 95 degrees will kill a healthy human, it takes much less to kill a vulnerable person or someone perform

by chickenpotpie 3y ago
What? That doesn't make any sense at all. The whole point of wet bulb temperature is to adjust for humidity. Also only 33% of Phoenix homes have a pool. Using a pool as a solution to prevent people from dying is a "let them eat ca

I haven't formed an opinion on the matter yet, but I do think there's a large difference between it being too cold and too hot. If I'm too cold and my power goes out I have a lot of options to survive. I can put on more cloth
