Not sure if you're being facetious or not, but it's not the immune system killing you off. That said, you are less likely to reproduce successfully if you are 'a social reject'. You will meet fewer potential mates, fewer

There was a web comic I used to follow, Questionable Content. Every Thanksgiving, instead of a proper comic, the guy would just post a picture of a turkey commenting on the most recent plot arc. Other times, when he needed a 'lower eff

Except it's well known that there's a 'revolving door' for politicians, especially with the press. Even if there's no reason to SPECIFICALLY overpay Johnson, inflated speaking fees for former politicians helps to ke

To be fair, a former PM lends a bit more credibility to an event than some random backbencher, and so you can expect that the market value of having a PM speaking at your event would be quite high. Regardless, on those examples you gave, I

The early 2000s were the wild west, Napster, LimeWire, Kazaa, BitTorrent, SoulSeek, eDonkey, as well as various websites like mp3.com/mp3.ru and so on. Napster was the easiest hydra to behead, and was shut down after just two years. Ot

If that is indeed true, then Bill Gates must be kicking himself for losing all that money. Drinking his champagne. In his hot tub. On his yacht in the mediterranean.

Bits and pieces. A bedtime tracking app for my kid, a microblog, a TikTok clone, a budget app, a text-to-speech app with translation functionality… Development experience was outstanding. I primarily use SvelteKit and integrate PocketBase f

I use PocketBase for mostly everything where I need a back end now. I came across a situation where I needed to write a custom SQL join (technically I could have just fetched all the data and done it in Node, I suppose). I was shocked at ho

Oh and another bonus would be being able to turn it off and on using shortcuts which isn’t possible at the moment.

I’d love to do something like this but the problem is the cameras on this type of phone are all dreadful. I think there’s a (small) gap in the market here for folks who want only basic messaging and music plus a great camera. Apple’s assist

While I am very much aligned with you that the “planet scale” stuff is tiring, I think you’re falling into a trap I myself often find myself in of “I want to create something . What can I create?” It doesn’t actually make any sense for any

It's also critical to remember in this discussion that that $4K is not gone. Generally speaking, you'll pay less in mortgage costs than the value of the house by the time the mortgage is paid off. That means that you benefit from

Yes but you can recoup the entirety of what you put in when you sell your house (normally with a healthy margin).

For other people who might not have followed completely: the NTAB don’t say (explicitly) that forcing children to occupy a seat of their own would result in 60 times as many deaths. They estimated the risk of lap infant deaths as 1 every 10

Yes I think that’s what it’s called. It depends on where you take your photos I suppose but certainly if there are no familiar landmarks, it can’t make inferences from the specific types of plant visible etc.

An “oct”ave is 8 intervals not 8 notes. The 1 is the root, and the 8 is the same note as the 1 again (2:1). There’s no specific reason to have 8, or 12, or 7, we just decided that way, same as we decided to count intervals not notes, and to

Not necessarily. There is also a search mode which can find landmarks in your photos.

Are Tesla’s margins really that great? I know their stock keeps going up but in terms of revenue vs costs, I didn’t think they were that much better than any other luxury car brand-although I accept on reflection that I can’t identify why

Right, but we’re not talking about the tech, we’re talking about price. For at least the next 25 years, for a lot of people, the significant up-front cost of buying an EV will push them to keep older ICE vehicles on life support in a Captai

Answer: yes. The article concedes that TCO over the lifetime of the vehicle is only just at parity with the middle of the petrol car range, the upfront cost is higher, insurance costs tend to be higher, and on top of that you have “range an

Yeah this was a big one. You’d get a mobile phone with voicemail enabled, and you could call 123 from your phone to collect your voicemails without a PIN. You could also call something like 07700007123 and then it would ask you to type your
