The cheapest HiDPI monitor I would even consider buying is $2000. There are no ultrawide HiDPI monitors in existence at the moment. Of course HiDPI is a regression in some ways. You can get far better non-retina monitors (low latency, highe

Battery life and TDP are irrelevant with a docked laptop + external monitor, which is specifically what people are concerned about here.

The only HiDPI monitor I'm willing to use is $2000. I consider 60hz to be unacceptable for work.

Try using a Pixel 2 and a 6s side by side. Actually, try using a Pixel 2 and an iPhone 8 side by side. It'll be pretty obvious which one feels faster, and it's not the iPhone.

I hope you're aware of how convoluted that sounds in 2018 :)

Doxing is publishing PII. Political donations are NOT PII and are in fact supposed to be public. It is completely legitimate for a CEO's political donations to be scrutinized.

Is it really discrimination if the system has separate water fountains for whites and coloreds? It sucks that the system is the way it is, and I think having the same water fountains for everyone is far more efficient. (There is a term for

I just think capping surge pricing (though not as low as 1x) is well within the realm of reasonable decisions a government could make.

by damnyou 8y ago
A cap on surge pricing doesn't show economic illiteracy. It is a choice made by the people (represented by the government) to prefer longer waits over higher prices.

Have you heard of the power of legally enforceable contracts? Lots of things aren't technically impossible but are forbidden by the law or by a contract. It's one of the ways modern societies function, check it out!

Yes, "induced demand" for housing exists. But that extra demand is generated by the extra economic activity more people bring in. It's called having a growing, lively city.

Such people are called nativists.

Sure, I'm glad you asked. Singular "they" has a long history of being used as a generic pronoun, before a bunch of white men decided in the 18th century to try and prescribe "he." Singular "they" is making

The parties described in the article are abusive. Stay away from them. The easiest filter is to look for parties where alcohol and drugs are banned, and latecomers are not allowed. I go to play parties regularly, but only go to ones that ar

People are generally willing to make the slightly less safe assumptions that targeted and mass attacks are different threat models, and that coordinated disclosure might not help against the former but does help against the latter. People a

This will only affect Indians and maybe Chinese. It's time to stop pretending the Trump administration isn't racist to the core.

Not Facebook. Whatsapp.

by damnyou 9y ago
The problem in India is WhatsApp, which cannot have moderation because it is end-to-end encrypted.

Do you like end-to-end encryption? Because this is what you get with end-to-end encryption.

If you want, replace all instances of "NIMBYism" in my text with your preferred term. Maybe "housing NIMBYism"? You'll see that the changes don't actually make a difference to any of my arguments.

Firefox's userspace is webpages, not extensions. Extensions before 57 are like out-of-tree kernel modules. Extensions after 57 are a lot more like userspace, though!
