Three books I enjoyed this year: this census taker , China Mieville To Say Nothing Of The Dog , Connie Willis The Possibility of an Island , Houellebecq If you enjoy science-fiction, it is quite possible that you wouldn't enjoy any

One thing that affected me was drinking coffee through the day, and then stopping in mid-afternoon, I found that from around 8PM to midnight that left me in sort of a zombie state. I eliminated caffeine for a few months and now I consume a

On the landing page they say there will be overages for excess data transfer. In terms of how it is different, I think a lot of people here have probably been using AWS for 5+ years and the jargon etc. is familiar, and we can calculate the

I'm curious but not motivated enough to really search for it, but for ambiguous hash abbreviations, why not select the oldest, since presumably it was unique at the time it was created? edit: I guess that information must not exist or

It has been hilarious to see the government become the opposition and vice-versa. It is like around midnight on election night they've just exchanged their scripts and switched places overnight.

I think there is a time and a place to nag people about changing their habits, and it is absolutely not when they are at their weakest and most vulnerable.

Who would benefit from the departure of Spez? Overall, except from this one incident, he has allowed the continued existence of The Donald. I'm not sure the next CEO would do the same. The only person that I think would benefit from th

Because it is his fault, that is why I think he shouldn't try to personally deal with it. The Donald was attacking him personally, which is against Reddit policy (no personal attacks,) but he fumbled the ball and weakened his ability t

I'm saying its a curse because: - Yishan Wongs various missteps and eventual bizzare (looking) departure - Ellen Pao had haters on the site from day 1, Hitler memes etcetera. And then when they fired u/Chooter all hell broke loose

The CEO of Reddit is officially a cursed position, on par with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. In other circumstances this might have gotten laughed off, but The Donald has really developed a bunker mentality IMO af

It looks like 3D models. You can see the models through google maps on the normal web interface. If you go to a city, zoom in so your screen is a few blocks across and select "3D" view from the lower right corner. It should load 3

Your mention of GPS just reminded me, there is an app "maps.me" which allows (requires I think) you to preload the maps on a state by state basis. It can do turn by turn navigation on a smartphone without a network connection. It

Personally I have some canned food that I just don't find all that appealing, which I could eat if I needed to. Probably enough to get through a week. What I don't have, but I'd like to have, is a reserve of fresh water. A pl

I'm curious regarding the motivation behind this. You are receiving and storing emails, looking at them, and optionally forwarding them for processing. Why not use an email client, and only forward your chosen stories into a linear ing

Also I should mention: that is my prediction as someone who wouldn't be effected (I'm Canadian). If it were otherwise, I would be preparing for the worst -- for abortion that would take the form of looking at international travel

Looking at the rust belt states that Trump managed to peel off, I think she had two things working against her: 1. Her policies were less vivid and memorable. Her tax policy versus Trump's belligerence at trade partners Mexico and Chin

Looking at the results, I can agree that focusing on Michigan would have been more optimal, but to win I think she needed MI+WI+PA, so if she overfocused on PA and still didn't take it, broadening her effort may have lessened her los

1. They created a sophisticated system to allocate effort. 2. The system selected Pennsylvania as an important target. 3. They expended lots of effort there -- and still lost it. I don't see how it is the computer's fault. Even if

I have to say a big "I told you so" to everyone in the tech community who said Snowden was wrong to do what he did. As of January 20th the NSA works for Donald Trump. If Trump actually makes a dent in the low-skill unemployment ra

I would consider cold storage to be preferable, but running at a low speed might be necessary for self-defence and what essentially amounts to data verification, the ability to rebuild to a certain redundancy level. In my view if time loops
