That's exactly the line that stood out to me as well. I haven't seen the same doctor (or NP) at the same office in my memory; they don't remember my name and I don't remember theirs. They want me to talk as little as pos

That's precisely the point the parent was trying to make to your GP post, namely that > "There is no more evolutionary pressure on lifespan after you have children" is an inaccurate oversimplification.

The battery isn't the only interesting thing here, either. Thermocouples in the burners and magnetically attached physical knobs are both big quality of life improvements that probably don't have a huge impact on cost.

This sounds incredible! Is this a private company, or a government program, or an open standard? I couldn't tell from the 'about' page on the linked site. I'd be interested in seeing how this could be adopted in other ar

I don't know much about the ins-and-outs of the FPGA ecosystem -- can you explain why you think this kind of collaboration would be impossible? Is it a technical roadblock, a philosophical difference of opinion, a business decision, et

I used to give feedback regardless, and I found that at least 80% of the time candidates weren't able to accept it -- they wanted to argue that I came to the wrong conclusion, that my assessment was flawed, that they knew the topic a

A competing option that does include wireless is the Dygma Defy [0], which does have more keys but might be a good option for you if you're okay with not being ultra-minimalist. [0]: https://dygma.com/products/dygm

I've been using these types of keyboards for a couple years now, and I find that although the enthusiast community has sort of gravitated towards <50 key layouts, trying to achieve the complex combinations often required by IDEs can

As someone who often plays near this limit, I can tell you that > then transparently released to be used is doing most of the heavy lifting here, because in practice it often is NOT transparently released. To give a concrete example, i

This must be in regards to his donating $1,000 to Proposition 8, which sought to ban same-sex marriage in California [0]. This was the genesis event that led to his resignation from Mozilla back in 2014. I'm unclear if his views have c

I like the idea conceptually, but what is the likelihood of broader adoption? I notice that Meta, Apple, and Google are conspicuously absent from the contributors. Historically (see e.g. Matter) it seems like standards that aren't writ

If you read the linked email exchange with Rossi, it appears that while she may have collected some data for him, the method and process used does not conform with the details included in the paper. It seems no one can provide receipts (whi

In Windows 11 Home 22H2, it's practically impossible to set up without a network connection, which has been a huge pain for me since my mobo's onboard ethernet drivers aren't included (too new, I guess). It's been at lea

In addition to the point mentioned by the sibling comment, I think there is also an element of "go where the users are", by which I mean that if FurryFriend558 spends 10x or 50x more time on Reddit or Discord, even if the ads are

The parent doesn't have a smartphone , which immediately puts them in a small minority (depending on their country and age, say 5%). Do companies use smartphones to track people? Yes, of course. But rejecting technology and returning

In practice, it's far easier to find good single-origin roasts than to find good decaf options. I've actually never been able to find anything lighter than medium roast in SWP -- not sure if that's for some functional or ta

This is misleading, because the Prevailing Wage also applies based on the average wage by geographic area. This means that Bay Area H1B workers have a minimum wage of something north of $125K/yr depending on their area of expertise. It

Per the parent comment, the terms they would have to add to be competitive in this scenario would be "Developers can blatantly and horrendously mine all sensitive data from users." which, while they would be appreciated by many bu

In the context of the article, it seems that this wording would suggest > "Both men and women without full time jobs are more likely to divorce." but this is not supported by any evidence that I could find. Indeed, it seems t

I think what the (grand)parent would argue is that this isn't removing barriers to competition, it's removing competition itself . That is, iMessage is a feature provided by Apple that makes their products more compelling as comp
