The problem is that everyone should have SSO, and that includes small orgs. If you don't want your stuff used by small orgs that can't afford to pay, that's a totally reasonable standpoint. At the same time, though, if it&#

Because we have a lot more of them, spread out in a lot more places, and we invest in their upkeep. Writings from Minoan Crete were...in Crete. They weren't then duplicated thousands of miles. The societal investment in data storage

We have to also keep in mind that 3800 BCE is the founding of Ur, sure--and we have anatomically modern human remains from about 193,000 BCE . Widespread control of fire seems to date to around 125,000 BCE. In that light? 3300 years is a b

The incentives are mostly bad ones. Companies that understand remote work have done a really good job of netting talent that is not in the Bay or New York, and I'm very happy to be working for one.

That it's cushy (it is!) does not change that it's not a capital position. Your average tech worker makes company owners orders of magnitude more than your average factory worker, and are paid what they are because they can demand

There is value in art done honestly, "bad" or not. And neither autotune nor melodyne have intrinsic characteristics that affect either honesty (unless you extend that to all forms of audio engineering that changes the voice) nor q

I think you may have missed what I'm getting at here. I very much "get" why people don't like it, and most of the music I listen to regularly goes light on autotune/melodyne. And I am not saying that one has to like

by eropple 4y ago
I'm very curious how autotuned/melodyned vocals are not "real vocals", but vocals that have had EQ applied to them, or have been compressed or flanged or post-process reverberated or delayed, are "real vocals".

Homebrew handles this kinda poorly, so people are often confused. `brew install docker` installs the Docker CLI. `brew install --cask docker` installs Docker Desktop, and if you've permanently tapped homebrew-cask you'll get that

This comment is whatever middlebrow dismissal would be, but for basic facts of U.S. law. As per the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics act of 1938, we have 21 U.S. Code §321[1]: (1) The term “device” (except when used in paragraph (n) of this secti

Why is it ridiculous for a medical device to be reviewed by the governmental agency whose remit includes reviewing medical devices?

This is one of the places where I've been impressed with where Apple's moved over time. In the early to mid 2010s, their largely paper-based packaging seemed to lead a lot of high-ticket tech packagers to move in that direction[1]

Sorry, did I imply somewhere that criticism is bad? Because heck no, and if I apologize. Counter-analysis is important! Critical, even. And there are plenty of ways to do that. Like "if I were to steelman the opposition". Or, if y

That isn't true, though. The phrase "devil's advocate" almost always refers to taking the other side of an issue where doing so is understood to be negative . When used to low-key argue in favor of the position because

The only plastic allowed in our recycling is PET. (And we have a local 3D printer recycler anyway, where both go anyway--it's more of an incentivization thing. It's a marginal incentive, but better than nothing.) Of course I accep

Polylactic acid is a generally safe plastic, but it is not particularly digestible by bacteria and so on. It's considered "degradable", but only in specific environmental situations or in an industrial setting. Also, Most fla

You are right, I misread. I apologize. Unfortunately, you don't get to decide who replies to you or not, and the "but fiat currency!" is even easier to disabuse: it has societally inherent worth because it can be used to pay

From your other posts I surmise you know this, but the WARN act means that a company of Twitter's size can't lie about that, at least without then paying out a full notice period to all affected workers.

If it is, then I've just had rotten luck, because every time I notice "hmm, that's toasty" it's plugged in on the left side. Absolutely no science done, to be fair.

I also normally charge my phone at night, but I find the USB-PD charging super valuable when traveling, because if my phone is at 20% it will very very quickly be back up to 60% or so off of a USB-PD charger. Apple A-to-Lightning fast charg
