They go broke or rely on an ever growing market, ie housing is always being built (most of your examples). But Instant Pot is the classic example of going broke because everyone bought exactly one of their products and never needed another

This is only enabled for a small percent of people at random, otherwise just folks in the advanced protection program.

Trick questions (although not known as such at the time) are the basis of most of the work we do? XY problem is a thing for a reason, and I cannot count the number of times my teams and I have ratholed on something complex only to realize w

I don't think the US govt gives a hoot for the common soldier except where their warrant would provide precedence for a senator or president to also be arrested.

This may be hopelessly naive but isn't the idea of GR that with sufficient fuel (and I suppose breaking some laws of physics) I can effectively postpone my experiencing next Thursday (here on earth) by moving away from earth at one lig

I mean, the same classes and groups instituting redlining were the ones picking where the infrastructure went. I don't think anyone is blaming the existence of infrastructure as the causative factor.

Business 2 owns the building and the atm, renting it to business 1, the dispensary. B1 pays the cash as rent to b2 who puts it into the ATM again. A SWAG but it's common enough in other business setups to alter costs as I understand it

For some reason grid storage reporting always seems to use a power metric instead of storage metric, which makes no sense to me. I've seen this in a half dozen stories, and found that even the government reports do this. I think it ste

What does it mean to judge a contributor? They're a faceless account, maybe a dog on the internet. Isn't the contribution the defining piece of work? Maybe for growing your maintainer collection, with privileged access, but not co

There's an excellent Android version of Slitherlink with multiple variants, well worth the couple bucks to unlock unlimited games beyond the initial couple hundred.

This is fairly literally how people watch a homeless guy get choked to death in the New-York subway. "Someone will call the cops eventually". No, you can't be a bystander, even if it might be dangerous.

Nothing about the last several months implies surgical strikes or key infra being targeted, and heavily leans towards glassing the enemy territory. Certainly they have that capability, and there's plenty of evidence that they do target

And they're pointing out it's not just those two replaceable components - it's the _entire saw_ that they're risking destroying off a false positive that some woodworkers will hit frequently.

I felt it quite underwhelming, until I realized it only looked at a handful of companies. Somehow only three of Microsoft board are on other boards? Wow, how puritan of them! Ah, not quite...

This assumes that AI based weaponry provides value. The case in point here is showing that the only value it provides is a flimsy justification for civilian casualties. We... Don't need more of that in the US, nor would it provide a &q

Passphrases and a browser extension, basically. The Passphrase can still be stripped off the wire and used later while passkeys are phishproof and single use.

How many sites actually do that? Microsoft does it for the device compliance/SSO/push notification stuff. Heck even we (GitHub) don't push the app and require TOTP or SMS first if you want to use the app.

Did you happen to transfer that phone number from a land-line to a mobile? Sort of like geo-ip systems, the SMS providers like twilio track blocks of numbers and label them as land-line or not, and refuse to send SMS to landlines. Unfortuna

You've basically backed into the logic of passkeys as well. It's all about _provably_ having the thing you have. Basically everyone is storing their passwords on their computer anyway, if at all, so the computer is the thing they

It's not a server-side component but something integral to the passkey itself. Everything is on the key and there's no third party - just the key, and the site you're authing to. So when you auth with a passkey, it includes s

Which is why if you've ever lived far outside the city, you're tired of people from the city coming out to visit you to buy all the stuff they can't get in the city. Oh, no, it's the other way round, mostly. It's ea

It's relatively affordable, or was during the late pandemic, to simply book a theater. They charge about the same as twentyfive tickets and it's for you and up to twenty friends. Was great to add an intermission to the middle of J

And when they autofill that value with 1, because they obviously got all of that data legitimately? Will consumers be asked to prove a negative? Even test cases will run into data sharing issues.

Ice only melts under pressure right around the freezing point - it's that weird overhang on the phase diagram, maybe to around minus fifty C. But by -180C it's always solid.

Interestingly, the Chernobyl liquidators forced to clean the roof were referred to as robots. I think the TV series expanded that to "bio robots", but books about the incident from tbe nineties simply used robot.
