   You found an alt-right blog complaining about a glitch in an algorithm that accidentally promoted afraican americans? Shocking.

   If you adjust for inflation since 2010 when the 11" Air was released, $1000 is just about right.

   And when the MacBook had HDMI I had to carry dongles for VGA and DisplayPort. One person's native format is another's required adapter.

   I decided to stop using them after two specific incidents. A 30% charge appeared on my bill that wasn't explained anywhere in the app or on their website. They canceled an item off of my order because the menu was inaccurate, and tried

   So all it took was an email, they didn't even require you to return the product before refunding you, and you're unhappy with that for some reason?

   Obviously a retailer like Amazon wouldn't outright edit user reviews because it would be incredibly easy to catch, and would be a massive scandal if true. The guy you're replying to probably just forgot what he wrote.

    I had to chuckle at the part where you got a friend to help put the mattress cover on, because I've been exactly there - realizing I just built something I can't move myself. Fun writeup about something I'd honestly never con

    I'd like to suggest that, no matter how proud you are of this, don't bring a woman over and open with "so I built my own mattress."

    I feel like this kind of ignores the big difference between current, not particularly compelling technology (an RFID chip), and future implantable technology. Currently the only thing an implanted chip can do is replace an RFID card, which

    I think the quality of AI necessary really depends on how you structure the force, and what you're fighting. It's not like they'd be out there doing Top Gun style dogfights. They'd most likely take the role of high-alt

    If you grew up in a big family and got used to there always being voices and activity in the house, it can be kind of comforting just to have quiet, familiar voices as background noise.

    Ooh I actually did this a long time ago! Upgraded the Airport card in my PowerBook. But, you know, once in 30 years of owning laptops.

    Indeed. If a human is going to be affected, a human needs to sign off on it.

    I used to do this - it's nice but it does come with some downsides. Like paying for the domain and hosting in perpetuity, and having to (at least nominally) manage whatever system you use for email. Still, the only 100% secure way to

    Yeah I mean the original Surface was 10" too. This seems like a nice product, but there isn't anything particularly revolutionary about it. Except it has a USB-C port - finally.

    I'm a little surprised that a Libertarian think tank is taking issue with a private company going about its very profitable business.

    That's like saying a sexual harassment case is about whether or not it's legal to ask someone out. Context is important.

    I know it's a silly grudge to hold, but I still avoid Spotify just because the Free tier was so awful when I first tried it. I suppose it's the classic debate of time-limited demo versus feature-limited demo -- the former works m

    I feel like the debate here is mostly between quantifiable nutritional stuff (like CICO), and unquantifiable bits of human psychology like "satiation." The unquantifiable stuff certainly affects the final outcome, but it's o

    > Every time my family had any money, they bought stuff This is a pretty well-known phenomenon among people with unreliable income. Their default state is that they have no money, because they keep ending up there. So when there's
