I mean, getting sent to collections sucks regardless of whether it affects your credit score - see, e.g., patio11’s recent blog post[0]. If you don’t pay, chances are you will still regret it. [0] https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com

Ah, first time at el Reg? Think we’ve all been there. EDIT: Speaking of AI, yes, it turns out that ChatGPT can do a halfway decent impression of The Register… No uses of the word ‘souk’ though

To be fair, lots of things have been reported to cause tinnitus. And from what I can tell, nearly all of the handful of cases in clinical trials that have actually been studied were very temporary.

Okay it’s not Ebert’s but I have to say that “O.K., let's slowly lower in the grant money” from that first link is nearly Gary Larson-tier humor, IMO.

I suppose this is one of those things where people’s experiences vary widely, but FWIW after 20 years of writing C/C++, I can count the number of times this has bitten me on one finger. And even then, I still think it was more likely j

According to the complaint, if I’m understanding this press release correctly, all SpaceX applicants were required to be citizens or permanent residents, even those without access to controlled items.

“Moreover, while sending crafted packets and attempting all sorts of things, I’ve discovered several vulnerabilities in the Apple custom made parsers. I will not discuss them here (exception made for the session spoofing) but at the same ti

To clarify, because it wasn’t immediately apparent to me, this is over a 5-year period so the average annual increase is just over 3%.

“You can make classes, but you can only ever make one instance of them. This shouldn't affect how most object-oriented programmers work.” Incredible

I mean for one thing, a cursory look at the bond market right now shows callable bonds outnumber non-callables 10 to 1.

by fisherjeff 3y ago
Eh, I’d be surprised if the bonds weren’t callable.

I mean yeah, there are loads of good reasons to not be addicted to drugs. Now if only those pesky addictions would listen…

I can only comment on homebrewing but in my experience, local homebrewing clubs exist and are usually way more fun than Reddit

I don’t mean to imply I think he could - or even necessarily should - stop the changes. Just, if you’re going to be CEO and make a big change you need to be a great communicator and… well yeah.

Okay, maybe Reddit should just buy Apollo and make Selig CEO. Just incredible how much better of a communicator he is than Huffman. Low bar, but still.

Fair but as one of those windsurfing adjacent types myself, I’d call that more like a 25/75% split…

Okay now I’m trying to guess where you live that you could say you’re halfway between Portland and Bend. Unless… do you drink a lot of Ice Axe?

I think the thing is that a ton of people are using crypto as speculative investments and an exchange facilitates that, especially once it layers leverage and derivatives on top.
