Do you extend that to the VPN provider used to sign up to the email provider? How far should companies battle to reveal the sources of mean reviews? Why not simply reply to those reviews with a counterbalancing response? It's not a big

Sorry what? It's trivial to get an email address from legit email provider, create alias addresses, then sign up to something like Glassdoor using VPN. The only thing Glassdoor will know about you is your email address, which is not ea

Does Glassdoor require verified ID or something to sign up? Why don't people simply use a VPN and appropriate email to sign up and leave reviews?

Regret reading. To embrace low quality because of some nostalgic link to the past or whatever, is not a good case. It's a case for sticking with good coffee.

In Australia the motor cuts out at 25 km/h. This is too slow. The motor cuts in and out frequently and the bike feels "off". So I paid a guy to halve the speed that is reported to the controller. This is the best way to modif

Okay, but a proper experiment would use an actual bike lock attached to a bike, not clamped in a vice. I have the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini. Two cuts are needed to remove it. Along with the quality of steel, and awkwardness o

It could backfire too in that it causes people to stop talking because an artificial timer is in the red. Or cause people to start talking about nothing if the app indicates they've been too quiet. I prefer the organic method. The natu

Also a good D-lock with 18mm steel will help. Because e-bikes can carry more weight, a heavier lock is not a burden to carry around. Bolt cutters won't work on 18mm of steel, and a portable grinder will take too long.

> don't eat before bed Why not? Musk tweeted this advice recently, along with his mistake that 3 inches is "about 5cm" for raising the bed head. "Don't go to bed hungry" could also be valid advice.

I think the inverse of pain is just comfortable or satisfied. Like a cat sitting on the mat. If the cat finds an electric heated blanket nearby and moves from mat to warm blanket, we are now in pleasure zone. Cat now has more than it needs.

I wonder how much the child's sensory reward system leads to memories and associations. How can artificial neural networks ever "feel" good about anything, and use that to learn? A child learns that petting a cat is better th

The straw in orange is also a fun and friendly image, without going overboard. It invites people to "solve" the visual equation. Straw + orange = fresh juice. A clever design for young and old. Amazing they replaced it with a bori

I don't think the argument was "screwdriver" vs "no screwdriver". It was about some tools being better than others. Everyone in web dev uses tools of some sort. The argument might be that some tools are so advanced,

Okay, but I recall Superman used much harder blue-screen trickery, and was earlier than Blade Runner. They had to key out a man with flapping cape and wind in hair. Even if not keyed, the rear projection would have worked too. Doesn't

Do you also have moral dilemmas about the violent shootings, murder and other nasty things the fictional characters get up to? Or is it just the kiss that rattled you?

by exodust 4y ago
The actors would need to learn the new characters and lines? That takes time they rehearse a lot. Or are you suggesting the same characters are used? But then you'd have yourself a regular series with different adventures each episode.

She says "put your hands on me" at the end of the scene. Her words. He didn't tell her to say that. They proceed to kiss each other, and consensual sex is then implied.

I liked Blade Runner, but one thing that bothered me was the lack of flat screen technology. All the screens are CRT, even the ones in the vehicles. You'd think the artists in the 80's would have easily imagined flat screens would
