Ohhh I misunderstood; I thought they were stealing data by simply observing the blinking LED, not that they had infiltrated the computer and were controlling the LED.

by jbob2000 6y ago
Can I get some clarity on the types of data they extract? Looking at blinking LEDs tells me that the HDD is on and processing something, yes, but it doesn’t tell me the digits of the credit card number it’s processing (for example). Do they

If you can keep a pump running, then you may as well just use adiabatic cooling (gas under pressure gets cooler when released) to keep your stuff cool. That’s how your fridge works!

Are actual technical people reporting issues with internet bandwidth, or are these unjustified fears by politicians?

Why 6 months? How much money does it take to do it in 1 month? Is that amount of money less than trillions of dollars?
246.
by jbob2000 7y ago
Do those things cost trillions of dollars? I don't think so. Each country could probably commit a couple hundred million to this and be better off than a complete shutdown.

Here's what it comes down to then; Which option is cheaper: 1. Spend money to temporarily increase hospital beds and ventilator capacity, but keep everything else running normally, or; 2. Shutdown everything to slow the spread so that

Collapsing lists and a Compose message button are considered "big redesigns" these days?

The biggest gain for me came from using a split keyboard. I had some bad habits where my dominant hand was crossing the keyboard to hit keys that my non-dominant one should have been hitting, and this was impacting my speed. By using a spli

It's a small bug, Apple will fix it. That is not a reason for "millions of users to quit iphones", relax.

Starting a business right now probably isn't a good idea either, so if that's the position you want to take, then there's no practical advice right now.

Go work for a big company. The work is slower and you can take a break. Big companies also mean big opportunities. And you don’t get to see what these opportunities are unless you’re on the inside. You will find some inspiration there for a

I flagged this because this because the title sounds much scarier than the actual content; "I couldn't buy this thing on amazon" So...?

It's not "better than nothing" if purchasing and wearing these masks is affecting people who actually need them. No official organization is advocating for their use. It is pure fear-mongering to purchase and wear them as a h

I don't disagree with you, but the risk reduction they provide is so little that you may as well call them "useless". You should go buy a lotto ticket! There's a chance you could win!

Reading training materials does not mean that you are trained . Who is going to slap your hand away from your face when you reach inside your mask to scratch an itch? What if you wash your hands, take of your mask, and then touch the door

by jbob2000 7y ago
Here's why masks are useless: You are going to take your mask off with your dirty hands. You're going to wear your mask dutifully while outside, then you're going to walk inside your house and the first thing you will do is t

Exactly. That’s my point with these glass-quantum dot windows. Glass is fairly sturdy; are all the electronics?
259.
by jbob2000 7y ago
Glass, sure, but what about these quantum dots? LED light bulbs were supposed to last 25 years, but everyone I know that has these replaces them well under that time frame.

by jbob2000 7y ago
That's different. Those are used in places where having a cord to a power source is impossible or impractical, so we accept the trade-off. But if my assumption is true, you might burn a bunch of coal to make these windows, and then nev

What if it costs more electricity to produce this glass than it will ever produce in its entire lifespan? Does it make sense to produce the glass if that's the case?

How is using the word “dead” offensive?

My assumption is that "instagrambusinesshelp.com" was impersonating Instagram to scam people. Instagramsucks.com probably isn't trying to impersonate them, just complaining about them.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I am working at my office and your assumption that the sign up flow is blocked is probably true. You may want to fix that though, because my company has 75,000+ employees, who would probably sign up or inves

How do I sign up? Where are the prices? Your landing page sent me in loops when I clicked Get Started. I'm curious who you're targeting with this product. Wealthier families tend to have nannies, who will match expertise with impl

You used to be able to count on your parents to have your best interests in mind. There seems to be a big generation gap between the pre and post internet generations, which is where I think some of this political turmoil is coming from.

My only complaint is that it’s made of plastic. French presses are usually just metal and glass, which I much prefer to pour hot liquids into.

Start with 7 spoons. Or 8. It doesn't really matter because you just need something to start with, then you adjust it if it's too little (you had more energy after running out of spoons) or too many (you ran out of energy but stil

A great method to help you track decision fatigue is the spoon theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory . Basically; start the day with X number of spoons. Every time you make a decision, take away a spoon. Spo

I have a thought, and you may disagree with it (and I want to hear your criticisms), but hear me out: Police forces exist to fill power vacuums. When a police force is weak, other organizations step in to fill the gap. Private security comp
