It doesn't affect me at all either, but I'd still be cautious before making any claims hinting that being trans is a medical condition -- if it does indeed turn out to be related, then it could turn a lot of people's lives up

My family and I did the same a few years ago. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

It sounds plausible that anything with the ability to disturb hormone production could also indirectly affect things like sexuality and one's gender identity. A quick googling suggests it has been suggested before, and that it's a

A spoiler alert would be a good idea -- not everyone has read it. :) It's a very good novel on the same theme, and thus relevant. Highly recommended.

Edited: I mis-read the above and got carried away. Please ignore. :)

Good start. Still doesn't address actual Bitcoin transaction times or fees, though.

It's true that lactose intolerance is quite uncommon in Northern Europe -- to the extent that some even consider it a defect - but most people who'd do that also rarely realise that milk drinking isn't the norm everywhere. Be

Still, transaction times longer than a few seconds, and fees larger than a few cents puts Bitcoin in a worse position than regular Visa transactions/Bank transfers.

This. Cryptocurrencies in general seem to have potential for being used in day-to-day transactions in the future, but Bitcoin itself mostly seem to be used to store value. The planned limit on the total amount of Bitcoin in circulation, tra

Based on the numerous e-commerce web sites I see on a daily basis, it's usually one or more of the following: * Inefficient, disabled, or non-existing caching. * Random SEO plug-ins/add-ons doing things like queries on non-indexed

Your mileage may vary, depending on what you compare with. It's definitely not hard, but setting up OpenBSD does require more work compared to setting up something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

Yeah, the physical evidence is the cool part; we know people went from A to B even back in those days, but this show just how massive the ancient trade networks were.

It's quite doable, but it does have a tendency to require more tinkering than your average Linux desktop, and it does set some specific requirements in regards to hardware. If you have some spare time and a spare laptop, I say go for i

Not the grandparent, but this is an actual concern. As you say, there is nothing preventing us from aiming for large-scale EV conversion while simultaneously improving the grid. The problem is that many seem to believe the second part will

Wouldn't decent 5G coverage require a large amounts of masts? Starlink just seems more reasonable for areas with low populations and large distances.

It's quite possible for me to remove remove Edge from my Windows install. It might not remove individual components like the browser engine, but Edge itself won't be available. Android/iOS is a different beast, as they both h

It also has industrial applications, not to mention that it's being used for jewellery. A golden chain with a gold-plated USB key containing a Bitcoin wallet might have a considerable bling factor though. :)

It is what it is. I'm in favour of anti-trust action against Google and Microsoft for their outright anti-competitive anti-spam practices, but that's going to be a long and hard up-hill battle for anyone attempting it. Meanwhile,

Not the GP, but my personal impression is that US culture glorifies violence and conflict, as conflict, rather than co-operation, is seen as a way to get ahead on an individual level. That spreads through all layers of society including law

Definitely, and so are most free email services. Try blocking Gmail, on the other hand, and your users will be somewhat upset. Sendgrid doesn't have that kind of weight behind them.

Doesn't really help when people's initial reaction to unexpected mails is to press "Junk". A random spambot entering a user's email address in a random form is enough to trigger a complaint. It's ridiculous but

Sendgrid itself is a major source of spam, and simply using them can result in mails getting filtered. There are even Spamassassin rules (3rd party) that specifically add spam score to mails, if they are sent through Sendgrid. The 3% may ve

The sad reality is that you should expect to be delivered into the recipients' spam boxes until you have managed to convince Google/Microsoft/Yahoo that you're not a spammer. As far as I can tell, it simply is not possib

Yeah, it's pretty common for hackers to upload backdoors to random web sites when they can and exploit them at a later date. If we're talking about a full server compromise then I wouldn't use those downloaded data for anythi

Yeah, the idea is sound (assuming it was properly marketed), but simply shutting everything down because of an issue like that does sound excessive. At the very minimum, they should have a basic backup that is enough to get the servers runn

Wouldn't that be rather dangerous? If the cooling system failed and the engineers were unable to get it up in time, then it could result in rather unpleasant consequences for people downstream. But yes -- transparent dams would look aw

It's quite a valid point: How much of the knowledge we have from WW2 will be applicable to a hypothetical WW3? Based on the article, the only solid advice would be to maintain the ability to feed yourself and your loved ones while avoi

That applies to any property and/or secrets hidden away, cryptocurrency or not. Smashing your kneecaps with a wrench until you start singing will work just as well no matter if you have stashed some gold away or if you've memorize

It wasn't silly. It was third-party software which provided functionality that the OS simply lacked.
