The phrase "To be is to be a value of a Variable" was inspired by Quine (1948), not Boolos (1984) in his seminal "On What There Is": https://www.uvm.edu/~lderosse/courses/metaph/OnWhatThere

You can still find little subcommunities with interesting individuals and subject matter experts. Any default sub is entirely worthless.

This is definitely part of it. People need to adjust to a new price reality, and while they think they want deflation they certainly do not want what a deflationary period entails is happening in the economy.

The rate of inflation is still about 50% higher than their stated objective. They want to pause to review like you mentioned in an attempt to nail the soft landing, but there is legitimate concern that inflation will remain too high and the

I am not an economist, but I think it's the opinion of many that the only way to defeat inflation is to tip the economy over, and the more the economy resists the higher rates have to go, and the worse the tipping over event is going t

I don't think this is super surprising since the same thing happened with Broadcom's other acquisitions, but I would venture that a fair number of SMB resellers are going to end up having to tell their customers to buy from anothe

Honestly the more the better. Ansible at scale has always struggled with speed, but I personally would prefer a rainforest of options.

I would love to see Apple revisit this form factor with the much more capable Apple Silicon processors. I had the 12in 2017 Macbook, and it was just about perfect in every way except performance. A remarkable little machine.

>Every once in a while I feed regular steak to a vegan and pretend it is one of those beyond meat patties and they gloat how great it is getting with almost religious fervor. This is incredibly immoral.

Out of curiosity, would something like Right to Try get earlier access to a drug like this?

Just had my ACL reconstructed out of my quad a few weeks ago, and the thought of just being in a brace rather than harvesting my quad tendon sounds lovely!

The most useful naming scheme that I have seen in a professional setting for end-user computing is [OS]-[SerialNumber]. Win-asdf1234 is immediately telling for sysadmin types that spend a lot of time in Active Directory or an ITSM. If you w

Whether you think it is justified for health reasons, alcohol consumption is down heavily in GenZ compared to their parents at the same age.

I am not super familiar with anything south of Dubuque, but Highway 35 between Prairie du Chien and ending with Lacrosse Wi is full of a number of small river towns that sell it (or at least did when I was growing up there). De Soto and Gen

Honestly the anecdotes seem like the sort of thing that happens all the time. I don't have access to the article cited but the two have brought so many products to market together that a bit of friction seems unavoidable. As an aside,

We grew up eating carp out of the Mississippi river. Certainly not great, but easy enough to put in a smoker. In fact, it's a relatively common dish in certain communities along the river, and you can find smoked carp in gas stations a

Well minimally Microsoft will bake it into their enterprise offerings, perhaps as a paid add-on or a throw-in to the higher tier subscriptions-- which are encroaching upon 100 dollars per user per month-- in order to move paying customers u

One of the concerns I have, and I believe Steve shared, is the dilution of their offerings. I'm frankly having a hard time navigating their iPad and Mac offerings. It isn't clear where each of their products sit, and it's cer

I don't mind soldered memory but it's hard to imagine buying a new laptop in 2022 with a mere 8gb if it's going to be soldered.

There is value in VR in that there is at least some demand that Meta is meeting. 1bn+ in quarterly revenue is not nothing. But assuming their VR business could become profitable, the valuation justified by a billion in revenue is still much
