Ya, was even thinking the other day that I should just toss a few glass containers in my backpack when I'm going out to restaurants. I usually carry a backpack anyways, I'm not sure there's much value in me carting away lefto

I fry a fair amount of eggs over easy on my cast iron and get good results so it's definitely doable. I think preseasoned cast irons are fairly cheap these days although I picked mine up on Craigslist with a set. For the most part, cle

I feel like it's fairly common for scammers to show off a fabulously wealthy lifestyle real or imagined. For some people it makes them think "whose money did they spend to get all that?" and for others it makes them thing &qu

Wow imagine spending 80,000 dollars to look that bad.

Zoning data and meeting transcripts generally are public? At least in NY that's been my experience. A lot of the rest I'd rather was private. Although it'd be nice to get aggregated data for certain crimes which currently are

Ha, what a world! I've known that Apple's actually been fairly competitive from a cost benefit analysis wise for a long time at the hardware level but it's very funny to see a comment associating Apple with being the cheaper

Ya, those are fair points. It would be neat to charge the EVs on the ferry ride but that'd probably be a bunch of energy or weight in order to implement.

I think that's also why a pretty small kink in the can will make it tremendously easier to crush against your forehead as a party trick :-) Or, more likely, it's a similar principle also at place in the design.

I saw folk swimming in the East River off of Queens here in NYC and I was really pumped. I may have to check that spot out this year. There's whales and seals again in the harbor too. It's amazing what decades of focused effort an

We seem to have regular fires in NYC now caused by folk daisy chaining Ebike and Escooter batteries to charge them. They seem to spread super quickly, be hard to extinguish, and release a lot of toxic smoke. 0 - Four dead at ebike store 1 -

I love working remotely in NYC. I love the city, and I love working remotely. Perfect combo.

This actually seems semi decent for a first go? 140 million in funding for seven more research labs (might be a different order but still neat). Commitments for cybersecurity funding (probably already happening anyways), independent auditin

The big banks were pretty stable in this last go around, and systemically it never really felt like there was much risk? So maybe some things are working?

I just think of it as a workout! But yea suckers are heavy.

I mean, even if it was 2 for 1... or 1 for 1... why not do it? Pretty neat to go to the moon.

Yea, seems pretty loose to assume those dollars would have generated three times the economic impact of the space program if they'd been left in individuals hands. Companies certainly innovate, but the government innovates a _lot_ (pri

That would be pretty sweet. Big fan of Biden's moonshot cancer initiative. I'd love to see another "space race" type event pursued by America in the name of advancing our scientific understanding. Trying to cure cancer s

Maybe, but what's the point in not generating 7 dollars of economic activity for every dollar spent, inspiring millions, and bootstrapping the process? If it was "basically a photo-op" it wouldn't have generated so much

I wouldn't worry too much about replacing the US Dollar entirely. We're pretty slow even to get rid of the penny. The US Dollar has a _lot_ of fans, I'm certainly one of them.

Hmm, they told the on scene searches within hours according to the article? It’s pretty common practice for these agencies to not comment publicly until a conclusion has been reached I feel like.

The world’s more peaceful during the era of American Hegemony than it’s ever been. Odd how having a gigantic military with hundreds of millions of people under it’s umbrella seems to have stemmed regional conflicts from erupting. You can’t

The way things are going here in N America soon we’ll be wearing masks outdoors for the smoke and indoors for the pandemics!

I like having company hardware. But agreed on the first premise. Open offices are an abomination. That being said, I do think younger engineers can be a bit better off from the human perspective joining an office just do to getting a lot of

As an experienced developer, I love working remotely. As a younger developer, I'm glad I got the office experience a few times. Even if, the entire time, I hated the open office layouts.

Erlang's been around forever, also a fairly simple language. I'd imagine concurrency's easier than on Go.

The big one for me is Citi Bike, and Lyft which require them to work. But it's only while using the app. Otherwise I actually have location services turned off for almost everything and try to just use a zipcode instead. With Maps I en

I do enjoy Apple's privacy protections, it's a huge selling point for me and definitely has kept me in the ecosystem. It's why I originally dropped Google products in the first place.

I haven't used Google for much of anything in my personal life for years now. I have an email on gmail that I check sometimes but it's mostly just spam at this point. Beyond that Maps and DuckDuckGo are fine. Plus iCloud I guess.
