I'm also unable to reproduce this. This feature could be behind an A/B test, but this is just one additional data point.

The New York Post is not a serious newspaper; it is a sensationalist tabloid. Sometimes the NYPost will report on real news, but I believe absolutely nothing they report until it is verified by the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times,

The difference between what you gave and what they did is you used different words in the definition from the description. They literally just use the same words in the name as in the definition. Their statement in your terms would be more

I just go for the bazooka approach and block every single image in my Gmail and only load them on a case-by-case basis. I've been paranoid about email tracking ever since I first saw my father insert a read-receipt via Outlook into a w

The fire started in grassland, not in a forest. As it grew, it spread to forested areas. There is a lot of grassland out in California and it gets very flammable in the summer when it all dies out and dries up. Dead grass is basically well-

When I taught an algorithms course, Erik's 6.006 and 6.046 lectures were one of my main sources for lesson plans and other inspiration.

Good question. For me, it has just been experience. I've found that the preview window tends to be glitchy. I don't know what causes it, but I've had obs crash on me multiple times when using that interface. Also, the virtual

As a former FB employee, I can almost assure you that he will get to stay until June 12. The PR trainwreck that would be firing him not is not worth 7 days of his salary.

I've been running obs on my 2012 mbp with three to four live feeds at a time. My fans spin up and the cpu gets warm, but I haven't been dropping frames or having any major issues.

I believe you aren't. Obs+virtual cam means you can run a live, multifeed show without having to rely on zooms auto-switching. Essentially, you can spotlight your feed, use zoom and other software to feed into obs, and then have a talk

I don't see this being a huge hurdle to programs to help with problem solving. Back in the aughts, I would regularly write programs to solve basic kinematic equations in basic and distribute them to my fellow classmates under the bless

While this is quite interesting and points to a mechanism long -proposed in theoretical physics, the null-hypothesis is only just barely ourside the 3-sigma range. In particle physics, 3-sigma results come and go all the time. They should b

This might be the best website ever. It is over the top, but the theme is consistent. It reminds me of a myspace page, but if someone just wanted to be ridiculous, not unsightly. Side note: anyone remember "I knows me some ugly myspace

The radar-jammers and tail-light kill-switches are very obviously illegal, even if you cannot prove they were used. Don't commit massive crimes then brag about it on the internet.

The big difference here is who is risking what. When astronauts went to the moon, the only people at risk were the astronauts and possibly the ground crew, all of whom signed up for what they were doing and were trained and aware of the ris

I think they can also be brought up on criminal charges in most states they passed through. Their radar detectors and, especially, their jammers are strictly illegal in many, if not most states in the US and yet they just gave the authoriti

This is an interesting idea. However, I feel like this could be better addressed by using an addressable chip like the ws2811. These can be chained for quite the distance and you will not get the inherent flickering that comes with the mult

The Green Building definitely had the better view. Plus it was understandable. I often got lost in Stata above the first floor.

The Auger detector is one of the coolest detectors I've seen. I had to do a report on it in grad school. My favorite factoid is that it is the size of Rhode Island. Also, at the time, it had seen particles in the 10s of EeV range, whic
