Maybe they removed sorting machines because they don't help with parcels, which are an increasingly large majority of USPS's work.

Yes, the evil republicans are dismantling society as we know it so that they can rebuild their anarchist libertarian utopia. There can be no other explanation

With residential construction, most of the jobs are being contracted and subcontracted out, so promoting new foreman, etc. isn't even overhead the builder worries about. They just get new crews bidding on jobs out of nowhere

yep... I had a cell phone stolen when I was in high school, we could track it to a specific house, and they didn't even knock on the door.

A) Apple doesn't sell those and wouldn't sell those B) The airtags are more capable than those, more affordable, and easier to use C) If you own an airtag, this will be available on a moment's notice. Is your wife going to ge

Reminiscent of the dot com boom. People said "this internet thing really looks like it's on the up and up" and they were right. What they didn't understand is that investing in 'pets.com' didn't mean they

Supply is mostly limited because demand is up among millennials and material shortages have increased costs and delayed construction.

Currency is transactional, not a store of wealth. I'd say it's a bad idea to store your wealth in currency, absolutely, and I'd cite it's lack of inherent value as the reason why.

Because they're raking in huge bucks supporting legacy software and doing services/consulting work. They also turn Red Hat products into IBM revenue through bundling/repackaging it

ducky keyboards are around the $90-$120 range mostly, depending on the model you get. I think they're a great option for a high quality but non-exotic keyboard

IBM owns Red Hat, you ever heard of those guys? IBM largely makes their money supporting legacy software, doing services and consulting work, and through Red Hat's software offerings

On an iphone, when you send a text message, apple will take a look at the phone number you're sending it to and check if it's linked to an imessage account. If it's linked to an imessage account, you're not sending a tex

Software is absolutely inadequate to prevent you from being distracted... You can block a couple of things but it's an uphill battle, because there are no limits to the number of things more interesting in the short term than writing u

That doesn't scale. The reason Tesla's not having problems is because they have first dibs. That only works for them because the companies who don't have first dibs are taking the hit, not because this is some solution to the

That's really not true, Car parts are heavily interchangeable. Many parts are used across generations of cars, across different models in a make's lineup, and even across makes.

We're far from knowing enough about the brain to say anything as conclusive as that. We do know enough to say that there are some intrinsic differences- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_sex_difference.

Apple knows who you are. Apple knows which airtag you're near. You don't know which airtag you're near. It seems pretty clear that apple can use this information to tell if an airtag was placed in your car unbeknownst to you.

I'm not sure what NFTs have to do with record labels. Unless you're saying that the only reason we have record labels is because musicians can't otherwise keep track of who owns their work? Seems like a stretch

The reason we don't have fractional ownership of pop songs is because that's a bad idea, not because we can't figure out how to organize it.

Nobody is arguing that we don't want to catch those people, what people are saying is that it's impractical to catch them. Unless you've got a cop on the corner who catches him in the act, by the time the guy gets around the

As soon as it pops up on your calendar, it's now a 'to-do'. Manage that the same way you manage your other to-dos, wether that's a reminder or a sticky note or a list or whatever.

You need two typos in that you need to forget that space, and you also need to have forgotten to set one of those variables. You also don't actually delete anything until you name a file, so you'll need to add more valid python th

Yeah you wouldn't source a script written for a different shell in this language, if that's a part of your workflow you'll want to either audit them first or you'll just want to drop into a bash shell. I'm not sure

What does that look like? Force drivers to go to the doctor (even though you don't give them health insurance) to get a note that says "I sneeze around dogs"?

There are edge cases but IME I rarely came across commands that could be valid python and valid bash. And you'll keep those in mind when you're running things so that you won't ever name a variable after a bash command you mi

It checks if the variables 'ls' and 'la' exist, and if they do, it'll run it as python. If not, it'll try to parse it as bash. If it can't parse it as bash, it'll try again in python mode. https:&#x2

What's the incentive for a driver not to mark that they have allergies? You're essentially just giving them a checkbox "I don't want to deal with people who have service animals"

That's probably because startups are small organizations. Nobody is arguing that productivity increases linearly as you add 2 pizza teams. Productivity increases logarithmically. '2 pizza teams' are supposed to represent wher

It might make more sense to require users to create a title than to let them use the default 'untitled', if you're planning to continue showing these themes to users
