Consensus is basically what Peer Review is. Having a bunch of other scientists look at your methodology and data to see if they come to the same conclusion you did, or if there was a mistake you overlooked. This 99% is basically like a meta

That may be your viewpoint but browsers have historically always taken the other viewpoint. Take HTML parsing for example. You can miss closing tags and a ton of other stuff, and it'll all work on a best-effort basis. The browsers job

Yep, just tried the Discord icon with OxyPNG and it went from 285k to 6.35k, visually indistinguishable.

It's not, at least for me. If you checked in devtools, that's gzip over the wire size. Hover over the size and it'll show you the actual resource size, still 285k for me.

I agree that at some point it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'd take "slightly steeper learning curve" over "literally missing a critical feature I rely on daily" any time.

I think some of that might be what you're used to. There are plenty of quality podcast apps on Android, such as PocketCasts. Same for reddit app, there are dozens. Maybe not as flashy but I've been using rif for almost 10 years no

I'm curious how exactly this is any different from any "hands on" embargo? I guess the software feature one is a bit weird, especially since they kinda announced most of them today, but generally you can never show photos bef

It's not an over-correction, they're just trying to sell a new feature. That's like they were trying to market Night Sight, they'd do it by posting a bunch of pictures in the dark. As a white person I've never had t

I've had Pixel XL, 2XL, 3, 4XL and 5. They've all worked 3-4 years (I pass them on to various members of my family). The only one I had any issues with was the 4XL, with the back plate peeling off, and Support just swapped it for

They did that last year too, it feels more like a documentary/tv show than a keynote.

Historically, they have. Older pixels all had 2 year feature 3 year security, but ended up getting 3 year feature+security. Although, after 1-2 year, the features get a bit thinner because a lot of the newer features rely on new hardware th

Note that it starts at $2500, and that's probably with the lowest cpu and 16gb of ram. Probably gonna be $5K+ when specced to what you mention above.

It would only half the rate limit, but any real brute force attempt requires way way more than what a normal human would try. Something like 5 attempts would double to 10 in the backend, still nowhere enough to bruteforce, but enough for hu

Indeed. A comment above also estimated sub money to be ~1/4 of streamer's earnings, but as you mention that can vary quite widely, and in my experience it does quite so for female streamers. Pre-OF sex work is quite a lot like tha

Honestly surprised that HN, a website for techies, is so poorly coded. For example, the whole lack of proper "paging", with dang posting a disclaimer on every large thread for honestly over a year at this point and no progress. Or

Gonna predict some of the more controversial changes: - Removing GPay/DeviceControls from power menu - The new overscroll stretch animation - The new lockscreen clock (very hit and miss) - The new Material You widgets Any I missed?

Yep, anything more than 1 line would be a python script. The author vaguely tries to answer that but doesn't really give anything more satisfying than "you can rewrite it in python" and "why not?". And if it's

The fact that the speed limit is much lower I think backs up that Cruise's permit is actually less permissive, and is most likely for at-night only. Waymo has had driver-free cars in Phoenix for over a year, so it would be strange for

Just to be sure, did they completely refuse to hire each other's employee, or did they just agree to not send emails poaching them?

by ehsankia 5y ago
I'm not sure if I follow. How does "not trying to hire each others employees" lead to wage cartel? Wouldn't they instead have to agree to fix their wages for that to happen?
