The Tokyo area is missing so many lines!!! .... or maybe there's just hard to see because for some reason they're in super non-contrasty colors. My guess is, whoever made this, based it on the idea that trains and subways are diff

I'm with you. I've heard so many raves but I've always found it a slog and sadly never was able to get into it.

I think my only problem with infinite scroll is poor implementations. If I click a link which takes me a new page and then click back I need the page to go back to the state it was, not jump back to the top. Not sure which sites I've h

I enjoyed it. In fact it might be the best Indian movie I've seen in terms of just being interesting all the way through. I'm curious what if any serious Indian movies there are. Are they common or rare? Pretty much every Indian m

I'm curious how much other major brands pay to stay in their places Coke arguably pays megabucks to have giant displays in prime locations. Those locations have limited space so Coke taking up one is Similarly, IIUC, companies pay to h

Many of those codes have been designed to protect incombents from competition and various other forms of encouraging one form of living (car dependent) over others. Plenty of people in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, etc live happy lives in much m

1 crime can easily be more than one vicitm. also you too made the exact same error. you discounted the victims of the criminals. yes the 1 innocent wrongly convicted is bad but what about all the innocents that are victims of the criminals.

This is good insight. I does make me wonder if Tesla actually has a chance. Their software doesn't seem all that great. The UX in a Tesla got objectively worse on Christmas day, 2021 when they released a big change and gave us fart noi

It's the same at the doctor's or dentist's. Every time I got they hand me a paper form and ask me to fill it out even though they already have my info. They could just ask "has anything changed" but nope. They could

repeating myself but > ts better to let 10 criminals get away with it than to convict 1 innocent person. is arguably false. it forgets that 10 criminals had 10 or more victims. If you optimize for the least number of victims then it&#x27

not if letting 10 guilty esacpe breeds more and more bad actors. you can make the argument that a few innocent suffer is a net benefit for society in tne same way. in pursuit of 0 innocent suffering you will capture no bad actors To put it

I agree that getting out and doing thing you like will let you meet more people but just to be picky here. "concerts?" I couldn't talk to anyone at a concert as the music is too loud". "hacking camps", never se

Let me also add, a thing I hate about dating apps is the pressure. At least for me, I meet someone I know nothing about and I feel like I have to decide at every moment "Do I want to be in a relationship with this person?". It fee

Easy, go to Finland where the Fins expect to get nude with everyone in mix sex groups. So, imagine 10 fins. Someones says "let's sauna!" and likely all 10 will be like "yea!". Now replace 5 of them with 5 muslims (o

And further there are trade offs. I don't know the trade offs of bridge building is but the example i've heard in the past is, it's possible we could make it so no one ever dies in a plane crash. To do that with today's

I'm going to suggest again that Apple still has stuff to do here. For example, on another setup I have 2 very different monitors, 38 inch wide 3840x1600 LG and a BenQ 32" 3840x2160. They don't have the swap problem but MacOS

Ever see the movie "Fantasic Planet"? This isn't just drawing. It's the start of telling a computer you want something and it making it. Not just pictures, anything. Phyiscal things, computational things,... Hey computer

If it really does make it hard for artists to eat from selling art, that to me is just sour grapes. I mean there use to be 1000s or 10s of 1000s of liveries to lock up your horse. There's no goal to keep horse keepers so they can still

How about some company just make site that licenses art. In secret they run SD to generate images forever. They use image search to search for similar images on the net and claim copyright. PROFIT!!!

Interestingly ioreg reports the same UUID for both monitors but Apple Menu->About Mac->System Report->Graphics/Displays on Intel Mac shows different serial numbers (not UUID) for both monitors. So,.... this sounmds like a bug
