Seconded. Their replicas are amazing, even better than the already awesome originals. I own a few, only god knows why :) Maybe I'll ask to be buried with them, so I can be dug up in a few thousand years and worry archeologists ;)

I believe Google Voice got a shot in the arm because of the Google phone plans (Google Fi) merging some infrastructure behind the scenes. At this point, it's probably safe to assume that Fi and GV will die together ...

Yup, for an enterprise-internal CRM. Worked really well; flexible, and did NOT require me to do much or really any amount of FE tweaking (all the UI is composed with a GUI). Very sad to see it go. And FWIW, not planning to go with any other

Ditto. For someone who just wants to get a little DB app out, needs some amount of scripting and doesn't want to deal with counting pixels and spend eons on FE internals, CSS etc, appMaker is/was great. I wish Google were to make

Out of curiosity: Amanita poison I thought mostly attacked the liver and leads to death in much less than 6 weeks (more like a few days, maybe a week). So I assume the 6 weeks means massive effort in the ER to stabilize the patient without

It would be a pity. Their pizza is pretty decent, compared to some alternatives.

Tons of equipment on Alibaba https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/large-wheel-tractor-w... Not the faintest idea if any of it is decent. However, China probably uses their own tractors. They have a huge farms also, s

I will throw in here that apartments in Germany I have seen or lived in are mostly nicer and have better construction quality than apartment complexes in even nice and high priced US regions (E.g., Texas, California). Hardly slums.

I would like to recommend the “Peter principle” as well: https://www.amazon.com/Peter-Principle-Say-incompetence-work... If you like one, you’ll likely enjoy the other.

So let's say Tesla will be making 3K cars a day a year from now, or 10% of VWs output (I haven't checked the numbers, just trusting the parents's post). That would leave some, but not much time for VW to get their house in or

Is there a chance that someone on the same outgoing network as you is spamming heavily and you get also blamed because of it? I don’t doubt Google’s classification is buggy but there might be ways to route around these bugs. It’s super anno

If you know emacs: it works well with gpg mode. The default (~) auto-save won’t work though in this mode.

Fascinating. I bet there is an interesting accounting story how the founder could buy out 20% of the company from sequoia while he himself only held 10% before (if the report is true).

If you invest some time in it, it's way more awesome. Keep hardly scales for serious use. Handling of media files is probably editor specific. If you use emacs, org mode is really turing complete as it basically is an extension of el

At first glance, this looks very much like some Julia sets.

Sad. I’d love to get a complete collection of the German translation (which was as least as awesome as the american version). Anyone know whether this exists ? You could buy the entire US collection on CD for ≈$40 a while back (still can:

This article seems to confirm my memory: “Note: you can turn automatic loading off and gain the privacy benefits of the proxy anyway.” Not a panacea because sometimes you just need to see the images, but most of the time I never actually ne

Are you certain Google fetches all images on opening a message? I have not verified this recently, but when they launched the feature to not show images by default they made the privacy argument that it would defeat these trackers…

I tend to disagree on this, and offer a different perspective: I believe a markdown-like syntax can be way more efficient and RSI-free than a mouse-based WYSIWYG-like UX. That said, I think both Latex and WYSIWYG editors tend to lure users

Or scanning older math-y books that have no LaTeX equivalent.

If you have enough time for recording, I guess it doesn't matter. Also I suppose noise in bars is in a rather narrow band compared to the sound from the TVs. Haven't tried though, just my guess. Of course bars could just stream w
