Could not agree more. In fact, I find Foucault's Pendulum, in many ways, very strongly supports skepticism in all realms. And adds the sort of lovely literary tinge that if anything can be made to "prove" anything (in "T

OP here: We recently released a software package that lets a boat owner monitor their vessel without any proprietary hardware. It's open source ( https://github.com/floathub/sfh ), and the above linked article is es

Subjective it may be, but the greatest opening line in all of literature is surely: "The beet is the most intense of vegetables." From Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins.

Tooting of own horn, so take with (sea) salt: https://floathub.com We've processed about 40 million AIS sentences so far (and really just getting going). More details on that here: https://support.floathub.com&#x

I am genuinely impressed that you were gmail’s lead designer for _years_. In the abstract, I understand how adoption and usability can turn on subtle and clever design decisions. The sum total of all these little things can definitely lead

Yup, absolutely. The "install PiHole" line makes much more sense in the context of HN than in the context of a "a few simple steps".

Can you provide more detail? Are you talking about pre-roll type ads in YouTube, or something else?

Install a PiHole ( https://pi-hole.net/ ) and redirect all port 53 (DNS) traffic to it. One of many guides: https://scotthelme.co.uk/securing-dns-across-all-of-my-devices-with-pihole-dns-over-https-1-1-1-

It is entirely unclear how any controls were implemented. They say "after controlling for lifestyle factors" but do not say which factors nor how they controlled for them. It is entirely possible, perhaps even likely, that diet be

It's not quite accurate to say the US "blew it up." The other countries just signed TPP-11 without the US, and the agreement went into effect on December 30, 2018

Step 1: Setup a pihole ( https://pi-hole.net/ ) Step 2: Configure home router to send _all_ port 53 (DNS traffic) to the pihole Step 3: Run cronjob on the pihole to disable fortnite completely at whatever times you want, e.g.

I could not agree more. Softbank and the investment community may just be in greater fool mode. Or, to be more generous, perhaps they are taking a long term approach. But anything close to Level 4/5 is a _long_ way away, as even senior

And it's not particularly rare. To take one example, Curtis McMullen is both a Fields Medal winner and the thesis supervisor of another Fields Medal winner. He also happens to be Canadian (at least by birth).

For those who might be looking for similar online titling tools, there's also dotSUB ( https://dotsub.com/view/ ). You can use the same timings to translate into other languages. Just FYI [edited to lower snark]

Look at facebook. 1.23 billion active daily users? Really? And this is published in financial and technical press with precious little skepticism. FB must be happily counting every single incidental embedded bit of javascript that phones h

But do they? Do they really? I once setup a facebook account for a company (I have never had a personal account). They send that account an e-mail every day (and an SMS). Every day. If I had the e-mail account set to actually load images in

I suspect there are an awful lot of very good engineering types who would never go and work for Facebook. No matter how much you paid them (well, let's say bounded at the upper end by a very, very large number). Although (nearly?) ever

Just to clarify one point; when a member of the LLC, you'll be taking "guaranteed payments" or allocations rather than W2 income (and paying quarterly estimated personal taxes out of that). You only do W2 income once it'

Indeed. And there's the whole SBC part to the story as well. But the entity that was AT&T in the early 2000's still went belly up and was bought out largely for the logo and those three letters and a single ampersand :-)
