I feel it's the same fallacy as saying to a child "eat because others elsewhere starves". Also Don Ho (NPP's author) is from China. (Studied and lived most of his life in France though, so in my books he's French)

I am not saying your story is fake dvirsky if that's you get from my posts. It's just has all the hallmarks of something I trained people around me to notice.

It's not the content of the message. Typically inside a company (like a bank ) there's an email client with a preconfigured contacts list linked to an AD server, the email client will write the email address for you. So the proba

Oh yes I agree, that's why phishing exists in the first place. Because people do it, so someone can take advantage of those people's (bad) habits.

Smells like phishing to me :) An email trying to pass as a normal workplace email.

> Only if "people's intuitions" are true on a less than a "published research" percentage. I think it's a safe assumption. Many people assume intuitively there's a "why" to their existence. Ma

On color, I like to highlight slightly the row, or column depending on the data, I'm looking at by changing slightly the contrast.

Is that inches or feet? With my bose qc35 I can walk 5 to 10 meters away from my phone/computer. (10 if clear view, 5 if wall) 1.5 meters seems very little and 18 meters seems too much.

Maybe you could rip open the base (it seems it's only plastic), do a little work and get back the power/hdmi/usb c converter inside it.

About the USB C, can you use a standard C to HDMI converter, or do you have to use the base ?

What about having two (or several) sets of devices, each sets having "a life", software installed and used etc? A laptop and smartphone for travel and another set for home.

In the same kind of issue (IMO): voting on weekdays. I don't know if that's in the US constitution (I'm French), but really, who thought that was a good idea. It seems like a systemic issue easier to address than the whole co

I was hesitating to visit the US landmarks for years now under Obama's administration -and even before that under Bush's- but under Trump's, his attitude and words only indicates that it would get worse... I don't want t

Makes me think of the Roman's tradition of building wood theatres, but now instead of wood and clearly saying "temporary" it's cement promising "stability and prosperity".

This is becoming a tad complicated and with a lots of steps involved for just bombing things isn't it? I mean Tony Stark could it in a cave, but could Joe Terrorist do it? ps: I shouldn't talk about the costs effectiveness of terr

Well then I guess they expect the word "team" should be self explanatory... Maybe it's not.

Slack doesn't advertise as a chat for thousands of users, but teams of 5 to 50, worse case 100 people. It's "lucky" they didn't hard code a limit.

No history by default, in fact there's only text by default. I like IRC, but newer generations are used to having "full-featured" chats without setup (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). I also like being able to do some s

And you are not believing stats released by one of the least corrupt democracy of the West. There was one grenade launched in Sweden in August last year. There's at least 1 killed by a semi auto in the US per day. Sweden has near zer

Trump didn't directly claim there was a terrorist attack in Sweden "last night", but by saying in the same breath as "look at Paris, look at Nice" where there was three very well known attacks in 2 years, he is impl

Also in Europe we usually talk about VAT included prices, while in the US they talk about VAT excluded prices. I don't know if that's the case here. The only Apple products I have are a 1991 PowerBook and a Macintosh II (first mod

In general, know you customer's rights. In the EU the minimum warranty on physical goods is 2 years. That's the minimum for physical goods in general.

Honest question to logicians: Is there any proof that it [automating programming, mathematics, scientific method] is or isn't possible? Is there a way to prove or disprove it mathematically?

If I see proof (undoctored video) of a dog being beheaded (a child being sexually abused) I think I'm safe to conclude that a dog was killed (a child was raped). If then that video was sold (or distributed in any way) to fetishists of
