I think this is an unnecessarily polarized admonition. Alcohol is arguably more than possibly-lethal, but many people exercise a reasonable risk calculus that allows them to enjoy it, and even enjoy it to a low level to moderate excess (on

Or it's someone who's intrigued by the concept of the product and is curious how much it costs. All it literally can be interpreted as is "a [probable] human is curious how much this costs" — intent to purchase varies fr

Better known as the Elephant Repellant Fallacy — a claim that a preventative is working when, in fact, the thing it prevents rarely or never happens anyway. "Hey you better buy my elephant repellant so you don't get attacked!&quot

Yes, this. Of course, there's always a tech interview even if Triplebyte claims to eliminate that, but they DID eliminate the "hello new grad, do you even fizzubzz" step which was great.

Anecdotal +1. I've switched to non-SLS toothpaste and seen a dramatic drop in my frequency and severity of apthous ulcers (and, unfortunately, I get them often enough and badly enough that I can state causality with some certainty). I

When you lack the self-control to save, over-withholding + refund becomes an ersatz year-long savings account. It's terrible, lacking any interest at all, but when it's all you've got, breaking open the piggy bank to get your

Looks like this link also redirects to the intake screen and not the PDF, now. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T60a/reports/2024... appears to be the latest direct link.

I think they're compatible. There is warmth and hope to be found (for the living) by considering that when they die, at least someone will care. Knowing that someone will remember them, at least in a fashion, after they're gone is

This is my holy grail. All band all mode would be ideal. The Xiegu X6100 is a pretty decent close strike, and the Q900 looks solid as well, but I know I'm paying for more than just the components I would want which is a clean amp and t

They do mean scrambling, and yes that's illegal on ham bands. CTCSS/DCS isn't encryption/scrambing, just in band signalling. You can listen to CTCSS/DCS with any radio even if they don't support it.

I think your point is valid and I don't dispute it, but if I had a nickel for every time I said "just do it all in perl" and regretted it, I'd be... well, perhaps not a rich man, but I'd have lunch covered for a few

I don't think this person is implying that at all (nor do I think that anyone needs to be trotting out federal law and FTC guidelines here :). "I had an idea to use named iframes [...] But, I never simplified it well nor expressed

Oh man, back in the day I got my first exposure to big, enterprise web apps in the form of an undergrad internship on a control panel for a major database that ran on Dojo. Every time I could scurry back to Python to work on a backend featu

Yay Creative Commons! My heart is warmed any time I see someone sharing their work freely like that.

Without commenting on the risks vs. rewards of sharing your genetic material, services like Nebula Genomics have reasonably priced (USD$249 30x, USD$899 100x) sequencing that's extremely high quality and suitable for getting into learn

I do indeed! I've got two NTAG216s in my left hand, one of which lights up green when you scan it, a T5577 prox card emulator in my right hand, and a P71D321 secure element in my left arm which does onboard crypto, NFC yubikey emulatio

Flattr was the first time anyone paid me money for my open source/freely-hosted passion projects. It made my heart glow for a week.

Not the original commenter, but I totally agree with you -- no one needs to justify free software at all; the more the merrier. I do think that there's something to be said for clarifying why one might use one over the other in a space

I think having cost be the anti-abuse disincentive is the worst of all worlds -- cost is clearly not an effective deterrent of abuse given our current state of overutilization. It IS a deterrent in the case of avoidance, or arguably worse,

Another delightful callout -- make your own Antipixel-style badge at http://www.acasystems.com/en/button-maker/ I was so smitten with the design of these back in the day.

I laughed out loud. For those unaware, "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved" (aka PiHKAL) is Sasha and Ann Shulgin's book that is half semi-fictional autobiography and half detailed synthesis and in-vivo effects observed i

Worth mentioning that BP is about arterial , not venous pressure. Venous pressure is an order of magnitude lower than arterial pressure; usually 0-10mmHg.
