What OS? I've used the Signal desktop app on Windows paired to iOS for more than a year and have never once had to re-link.

Isn't the reason we're comfortable with mandating USB-C the fact that it's been implemented successfully in so many devices already? How's that supposed to work next time around? Will politicians or bureaucrats pick th

Beauty, and human attraction to beauty, is impossible to overcome. While sometimes informed by culture, attributes like symmetrical faces are desirable across all cultures. And those attributes are often powerfully informed by genetics. Abs

No, that is your interpretation, and it’s ridiculous. That language does not speak to mentioning two dads. And will never be enforced that way

This is all wrong. Our furnace filters (and all furnace filters) filter particles specifically to clean the air. And with a MERV 13 or higher rating, they even filter Pm 2.5. And, no, I’ve never seen a single furnace filter with intentional

It's awesome that you've done all this work. I have to say, though, that this could just as well be evidence that your experiment is not designed terribly well. One would never build a home furnace with a filter that has gaps al

That dude (you?) compares his contraption to the same three filters taped randomly on a box fan. That's a little silly. I'm surprised it filters anything at all, as the air would simply flow between and around the filters. Duri

Office on the web actually does this really well now. The desktop app is a little more glitchy, but Google doesn't even have one of those. I really like tracked changes in Word on the web. Microsoft has come a real long way in the l

Try a commodity like wheat or lumber instead. Those who produce it more cheaply make more money. That’s how markets work.

Yes, NIMBYs are literally destroying the country. They could have also permitted drilling in the North Sea.

There are varying degrees of "toxic." Red blobs painted on a map may or may not be relevant to your health. Toxicity is an arena rife with controversy and dispute. That they (EPA IRIS, ATSDR, or the like) take a "Lowest Ob

I get the point you're making, but to the facts, that is quite literally how many subdivisions work, and least in the western US.

I think to most reasonable people, it's not fair to call it a "drop." It's a smaller increase than last month, but it's still a very meaningful increase in the cost of goods. Yes, my house is not burning as quickl

The difference here, I think, is that you don’t have to use autonomous drivers. To the contrary, notwithstanding laws against it, you do have to share the road with distracted and drunk drivers.

> The average driver is 1/3 distracted and 1/4 drunk. It seems to me the point is that an automated driver is never distracted and never drunk. The automated systems should get credit for that. That is, they should not necess

Fair enough, but approaching the problem rationally, is that really how we should measure success? Are you satisfied with a solution that results in objectively more death just because you claim to have some part in creating it? That stri

by hcurtiss 4y ago
In my view, the question should be whether it's more or less safe than humans driving. If use of automated driving results in less death than humans driving, considered at the broadest possible scale, then that strikes me as an excell

Absent supply constraints (putting aside the fact that's another way of saying demand exceeds supply), do you believe there is any point at which printing money drives inflation? If yes, at what point would you say it would? See the M1

I'd say recreation.gov by Booz Allen Hamilton is pretty good. Some of the policies are disputed (e.g., racing for camp sites), but the technology works very well.

How is the GP supposed to respond to this? You're not wrong that its a common mistake, but you're not adding anything to the conversation by remarking on it. And you're not actually asking for any help. Comments like this

As a point of clarity, those state laws are all passed by democratically elected representatives. Gerrymandering may impact outcomes, but Ds are every bit as good at it as Rs. For example, Oregon's legislative districts are comically
