You're missing the point: > I don't care much about average panel degradation. > I do care about seeing ghost letters or shapes on top of the latest TV series I'm watching. Nobody cares about "luminance degradation

Fragmenting the community is not good for anyone. Having the option to block other instances is important but shouldn't be encouraged. Having the right to divorce your spouse is important. But nobody wants to date someone whose been ma

You fell for the straw man. The media argued against the most outrageous and conspiratorial version of the lab leak theory to discredit it. They successfully made you associate lab leak with racist conspiracy

Not really. We defined Entry, so we know it's only a few bytes. And we know size_t is large enough to iterate over all of main memory. So the only way that statement overflows is if the key is literally larger than main memory. Not a c

IANAL, but it seems relevant that Apple is also a retailer for refurbished Apple products. Basically, this is one seller of X reaching out to another seller of X to fix prices for X. Definitely seems like a worthwhile case.

I think this says more about you than others. "every single instance" is a gross exaggeration. This is your personal bias at play so that when you read "lab leak", you perceive "racist conspiracy theory"

Just because its difficult doesn't mean we should take speculation and guesses as scientific fact. It's okay to say "we don't know, we'll probably never know for sure". Especially because the stakes are so much

The English language evolved alongside the technology. English used to be cursive-only, like something like Arabic. But the language evolved to fit into a modern world, and I think other written languages would benefit from a simplified &qu

If you're counting the road as parking because it's used to maneuver into the parking spot, then you need to count people's 10 acre yards as living space as well.

> In hindsight, no biggy, how dare they made everybody sanitize their hands all the time. I think you're really underplaying this. If the FDA hadn't suspended the rules about benzene, then fine. No biggy. But the government lit

> Most hand sanitizers were Ethanol or Rubbing Alcohol You can't know that. The regulations and testing requirements were suspended, so companies were free to use benzene and nobody would know. We already know for sure that some com

Are you currently desperate for hand sanitizer? I would just buy some good stuff or go without. I would rather risk a little sniffles than leukemia.

Maybe not wrong, but it's the worst option. 5 is the number of code points, and 17 is the number of bytes. Both are reasonable answers. 7 is the number of code units for utf-16. Seems like the least useful option.

The term "neighbor" here is confusing. Venus has the planetary orbits right next to Earth's. That makes them "neighbors" - they live right next door from each other. Mercury is the closest planet on average, but cal

Gasoline has an energy density like 100x batteries. As an energy storage medium, it's excellent. The thousand pounds of batteries in a Tesla contain the same amount of energy as ~3 gallons of gas.

It's not like the comments held any sort of power. The FCC could do whatever they wanted regardless of the comments.

This is what government overreach looks like. What unelected officials can give with no oversight, they can just as quickly take away with no oversight. The FCC is not a democracy. Net neutrality needed to be a law.
