I agree, it's simple to understand. Running biometric capture & analysis on every customer is also illegal in Australia.

Your story reminds me a little bit of an issue with the late-Intel macbook pros. If your USB-C charger was plugged in on the left side, and you had an external display connected as well, you'd get crazy thermal throttling. I believe th

Kiwifarms is a forum that mainly is about chronicling the life events of people it can laugh at, often those suffering from mental illness. Oftentimes, kiwifarms users directly harass or manipulate their targets to try to provoke more weird

It might be the stupidest, but stupid in the sense of "the simplest thing that could possibly work." When FASTA was invented, Sanger sequencing reads would be around a thousand bases in length. Even back then, disk space wasn&#x27

There's a few options out there that have noticeably better compression, with the downside of being less widely-compatible with tools. zstd also has the benefit of being very fast (depending on your settings, of course). CRAM compresse

It's not quite as simple as that, but what you describe has some relation to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Part of CBT involves recognizing when you're ruminating/spiraling in thought patterns that you want to avoid, and stra

Making the analysis harder is the fact that those politicians are either exceedingly stupid or brazen liars, or both.

My understanding is that this sensor is used to help adjust speaker behavior for better sound, but I can't find a link to support that.

Yes, Amazon would do that. Why would another person be able to meaningfully "undercut" Amazon here? Amazon would profit from selling e-books even if it's only for 10 cents - and integration with their Kindles and convenience

I tend to agree, which is why I can't recommend Mojo, despite thinking their tech is pretty innovative. If they're willing to lie about something that basic, I can't trust any of their other claims.

Interesting. I know that gay men also make considerably more money than gay women, and having more wealth is associated with a lower rate of divorce, which sounds like a plausible explanation to me. I don't know if the numbers check ou

If you reinvest the money you save on office buildings into employee salary, you might find that people are willing to move to Ponder for the combination of low-CoL and high salary. Probably not enough to entirely offset the fewer local wor

Zen is a Firefox-based browser that has copied a lot of Arc's good ideas, if you are looking for an alternative.

It seems unwise to require centuries of investigation before we can start talking about an ongoing genocide.

I believe they're saying that sometimes-wrong information from a machine is preferable to no information (without machine). At least to some people.

Okay, so the third thing. You believe Israel is doing things that constitute genocide, but also that nobody has proved it.

In general, mass stabbings have fewer victims, and a higher percentage of those victims are injured rather than killed.

Ah, perhaps I read you wrong. I got the sense that you thought that these people were unemployed, and depressed about their economic future, because they were "failure to launch" kids.

It seems like you might have got the causation a little reversed. "Leaving the nest" is hard to do when you can't find a job to pay rent with.
