Ford's "boring, me-too cars that happen to be electric" strategy on the F-150 Lightning was absolute genius. The F-150 has been the best-selling truck since 1977, and the best-selling vehicle since 1981. Why would one ever

It can also cross-run programs and UIs. I can type in `code .` in my Ubuntu image, and VSCode will open in Windows at that directory. I can also run UI programs in Ubuntu and their windows pop up in the Windows desktop environment.

My vision is not bad and I still agree with your statement.

They found a nice workaround with federal taxation though. There's a lot of instances where the states technically have the power to pass different laws than what's federally blessed. However, they'll lose federal funding

I know Florida has some "law-like" amendments. At least a couple recent ones, specifically the legalization of medical marijuana and minimum wage increases, came about because it's a way for the populace to directly vote on

That's now how bananas work. Bananas are sterile hybrids; that's why they're cloned in the first place. Other plants are cloned for other reasons, typically because they don't grow true from seed. Luckily for us, banan

We grow our own and are looking at a variety called "ice cream". I figured the name was exaggerated, but now you have me second-guessing that... EDIT: Apparently they're in fact the same cultivar. The bananas start off blue

I think the assumption that literature complexity must have been incremental is flawed. Complex oral tradition could have led directly to complex story-telling literature. All it would take is someone writing it down.

Agreed on the last bit. Having a clear-cut line where "this must be reported" is I think necessary for liability reasons. There are definitely other transactions that should be reported, in the spirit of the actual AML (anti m

Yes. Jargons exist for a reason. They develop because people working together come to a common agreement on specific meanings for specific terms, regardless of common usage. And it typically leads to more precise communication. "Le

I'm with you on "couple" potentially not being exactly two, though I tend to default to using "few" in such cases. But I can't sign up for "pair" not being exactly two. Yay language!

Your real estate example is not a great fit, because real estate transfers are not common. That particular tax-free status on the transfers would probably be best interpreted as a carve out or loophole, with the normal status being that th

That's an excellent point. I hadn't thought of it because the joins where I witnessed this were all on primary keys, as $DIETY intended. (That's a joke.)

At least PostgreSQL's query optimizer can and will drop `LEFT JOIN` clauses if the data is not actually being used. It can't do that for `INNER JOIN` because it must verify that a matching row exists.

Isn't there some rule that any browser on iOS must use the native Safari engine? So if iOS Safari doesn't support something, there's no way for Firefox to add that support. It's basically just a skin.

No worries. It also didn't help that, if I recall correctly, clearXchange was also marketed by the different banks under their own pet names for the service. So there wasn't even a single name for it.

I just want to clarify that Zelle was basically a 2017 rebranding of clearXchange, which existed since way back in 2011. Both Zelle and clearXchange were mostly marketing failures. The basic use-case of nearly-instant person-to-person tra
