That’s not true at all, off the top of my head there was: -WordLens, which could translate and overlay text in different languages -Star Chart, which overlayed the name of the star/planet/constellation you were looking at -Don’t r

Yeah that’s fair, I do think organizational ineptitude is a concern. I guess it’s just different threat models. A medical office has locking file cabinets, password-protected devices/networks, more robust building security, the standar

I think they are just saying the data is more likely to be secure if it is recorded at your doctor's office, which seems reasonable to me. Let's say it is a blood pressure reading taken by your Fitbit and uploaded to Google's

Reminded me of a passage from a DFW short story called Good Old Neon [0]: "He asked if I ever played chess, and I told him I used to in middle school but quit because I couldn’t be as good as I eventually wanted to be, how frustrating

I think the original idea behind supermarkets with long rows of shelves was that some work was being offloaded to the customer. An assembly line where the people move and the items are still, or something like that. So, it actually does tra

The various Amish sects that I'm familiar with in PA use technology much more recent than the 1700s (including smart phones in some cases). Most of it is via generators and gas-powered appliances, as they won't have electricity ru

There was a tweet posted here a couple of weeks ago [0] which highlighted the sad state of Tetris for iPhone. I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that the beloved original version was developed in the Soviet Union and then capit

I realize we're talking about voting with dollars here but it's also possible that consumers could literally vote on (or push their representative to draft) legislation to address the issue. I'm not up-to-date on the John Dee

Certain crimes have multiple degrees which hinge on intent which often can’t be proved without a confession.

This isn’t really an answer to your actual question but I’m reminded about the Aesop’s fable about the crow and the pitcher[0]. Humans have been noticing the general intelligence of crows for over 2,500 years! [0] https://en.m.wi

I mean, seems like a weird thing to discuss at work? Also this feels like concern trolling. You can have whatever discussion you want about the potential for there having been multiple waves of human migration out of Africa. Do it respectfu

I think I understand the point you’re making and I agree that there can be some synergy that comes from working together in person but it can also go the other way. Office environments can also be toxic and decrease productivity/morale

This, along with some of the comments here, reminded me of a short passage from a profile on Tupac Shakur, in which the author wrote: "He feels his mania is what we all have and deny, that insanity is a rational adjustment to an insan

Yep, I’ve been staying in Seattle with my girlfriend since quarantine began. We live about 9 blocks away up Madison and have been walking around the zone almost daily. Hard to believe how much fear-mongering, disinfo, and straight-up lying

Sweden also has significantly higher death rates than any other Scandinavian country so I'm not sure why its Covid response keeps being trotted out as a herd immunity success story.

If they had all the freedoms of typical independent contractors (e.g. to set their own rates) then I'd agree with you. But they don't.

Most Uber/Lyft drivers would be happy as independent contractors if the companies didn't keep reducing rates/incentives . The mileage/time rates of pay have been slashed drastically and Lyft recently removed Primetime r

Because mercury toxicity is a common claim of anti-vaxxers and because you implied the alleged source of the mercury which caused your CFS is something that upsets most people. Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to think that you

IMO he is clearly implying it came from a vaccine(s) but he is trying to do it without being seen as an anti-vaxxer.

Fair enough, the driver may not have perceived it that way though. Just because it's a fancy neighborhood doesn't mean it's a desirable drop-off location for the driver's purposes. Just because there is a Lyft pickup spo

More likely you were going to an undesirable location, were asking to be picked up in an inconvenient place, or didn't come out within 5 minutes.

I don't think your test is all that good. If I'm out with friends, I try to consciously avoid using my phone when we're together so that I'm present and so that they know I value their presence. Those 15 seconds at the u
