Recorded music was going this way whether it was Spotify or someone else that drove the final nail into the coffin. I remember when I was a child, on a Sunday afternoon, my dad would put on an album and listen to it. Just listen. Very, very

They are the same, because there’s no such thing as the “speed of light”. Theoretically as I understand it, everything moves at exactly the same speed through space-time, whether it is light, the Earth, etc. At non-relativistic speeds, this

At this point anyone who is as certain about the nature of light as you seem to be may well be right, but is demonstrating a level of confidence the literature does not yet seem to support. Although there are those who believe that photons

It's a known fact that the point all bodies in the solar system orbit around is not actually the centre of the sun, but some point close to the sun, known as the barycentre of the solar system[0]. This moves around based on the exact c

They are saying that it will take them 5 years to get to the point where this is true. If you read the article, you see that in 5 years' time, they expect the average hourly pay for FTEs to be 49 USD. That works out at around 100K&#x2F

I know the UK adopted GDPR, but I'm not sure about any changes which might have happened since Brexit. However, in the EU, where the GDPR was written, consent must be freely given (which means that it must also be possible not to con

That would be true if each combination could only be bought once. However, as you cannot know in advance how many other players will play, or what numbers they will select, you cannot properly calculate an EV. Further, lottery players rarel

If you’re playing against the house yes, statistically you’re gonna lose over time. But in games where your winnings come directly from beating others rather than pure luck (poker is a popular example), you can indeed beat others based on y

My wife and I use a pretty simple system which we picked up from some friends of ours: 80% of each of our post-tax income goes into a shared account for stuff which is unambiguously 'shared' costs - for example rent, utilities, gr

I've responded to other similar comments, but there are a few things which I think make this a dark pattern: the modal pops up after scrolling far enough down that you’re absorbed in the content, the “continue reading” is not styled as

It’s not a wall, more like a gate. You can just click to continue reading. It’s a bit frustrating that it uses a dark pattern to make it seem like you are required to log in, but you can continue reading without logging in or subscribing or

Although that’s true, often something like a fishbone diagram will help to create a prioritised to-do list to fix whatever is broken (or at least understand what caused it to break if it’s not fixable).

This is basically the methodology behind an Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram. It’s a pretty useful way of representing things (although I personally prefer indented bullet points).

It’s less disturbing than you might think, especially if it’s an automatic. The worst bit is when you’re trying to overtake, or when you’re trying to parallel park (coming as someone who learned in left-hand drive cars in the UK, but has si

Alcohol interferes with your liver’s ability to process vitamin A, which in turn has a negative impact on sperm production. That said, moral support is also a pretty good reason.

Actually, on at least some of the range, Ikea advertise that the lid can be used as a splash guard in both microwave and conventional ovens (at least on my local Ikea website that's what it says), and has photos of the whole kaboodle i

To be fair, although definitely some corporations are doing this, others are adapting to market circumstances caused by a few actors. For example, if you're a retailer selling pretty much anything now, your costs are up significantly a

This is a good point. Svelte has a lot of 'magic' under the hood but a lot of it does not look like magic which can lead to confusion. The docs are pretty complete and well structured. There are of course obscure issues, but most

That’s not what OP said. It is possible, indeed likely, that in some small subset of people, the COVID vaccine(s) do more harm than good. However, the evidence suggests that the negative impacts of COVID itself outweigh by an order of magni

I always assumed the opposite: the translated subtitles reflect exactly what the script says, while the actor may have remembered an approximation of the exact line, which is normally good enough not to bother with another take.
