Absolutely, hence me saying "undeserved". Here's the exchange, hopefully you can see where I clarified that I wasn't accusing him of fraud: https://twitter.com/jscheel/status/1393781004188389379

I made a snarky (maybe somewhat undeserved) tweet comparing Magic Leap to Theranos last year that pissed off Rony Abovitz. He pointed out that they were shipping their enterprise product. I still think the promise was wildly oversold, but

Yeah, I think I'll upgrade when the next ones come out, just not looking forward to the massive hit I'm gonna take when reselling this one.

When I upgraded my fully maxed-out 2019 16" mbp from Catalina to Monteray, the every-day performance of my computer took an absolute nose-dive. It's been a complete nightmare, and has significantly soured me on Apple. Right now, t

BMI was not created to be a marker for health, it was created by a mathematician to calculate government food allocations. It blows my mind that we still use it.

Yeah, this is a huge issue for me. Absolutely bonkers that they've made this decision. This is incredible consumer-hostile.

I have the 2019 16" i9 mbp, and it's an absolute nightmare. I've been incredibly disappointed with Apple's handling of this machine. I want to get to the new Apple silicon, but gonna wait for the next release.

My 2019 16" mbp will randomly try to cook itself in my bag too. Apple never has any answers for any of the bullcrap power management that happens.

Speaking from my own experience, with a much, much larger bill: AWS support will most-likely ask you to set up the cloudwatch alarms and billing alerts properly, and to provide a plan to mitigate further issues. Once you've done that,

Where I live, it takes significantly more training hours to become a barber than it does to become a police officer.

I mean, I'm not a bean counter. I'm just guessing that's why they like it.

Opex is fully deductible each year the expense occurs, wheras capex requires amortized depreciation over the life of the purchased item. Makes it harder to calculate taxes.

Are... are we brothers? I too have stayed out of the modular world, but yeah, I feel you. I started back with music production a year or so before the pandemic, but things have gotten a bit... more... since then. Sitting next to my polybrut

I have the blue one as well! Man, collecting all those animals for Noah's Ark was frustrating. Oh, and the falling rocks.

I studied 3d animation in college from 2001-2004. Our lab was outfitted with tons of SGI Octane workstations. By the end, we were getting better performance out the the one lone mac there, though. Was such an awesome animation lab. I kinda

Yes, 100%! It's infuriating.

I posted the blog article's title, but the real lede should be that Flickr is limiting free accounts to 50 private photos and nsfw to pro accounts. As a pro user, I'm not affected, but I'm guessing this is going to be a prett

I still remember asking for a mathematical co-processor for my birthday so I could run CAD at home (my family owned a tool and die company, so I got to see all the cool tech they were using).

I know this isn't the main takeaway from the article, but I'm highly suspect of the "independence" of voters claiming to be independent. This is merely anecdote, but many people I know who claim to be independent are rea

Yeah, it actually does matter. Intent is incredibly important in law.

I'm confused, where in the license does it give them the permission to randomly assign an ad-share percentage? This seems highly suspect, and probably illegal in most jurisdictions. In fact, reading the actual license agreement here h

If it would work, then 100% I would do it in a heartbeat. I posted on Blind looking for help, but just got snarky high-school level comments. Have you had experience reaching out via LinkedIn?

Not, Google, but I'm having sort of the same problem with Facebook. My church has a Facebook account that we used to set up our public page years ago. We assigned editors to the page, then promptly never used that account again. Fast f

Yes I did, and you are still misinterpreting its results. Omicron is more prevalent because it’s the one with the most vaccine breakthrough potential. In a vaccinated individual, omicron is the variant with the highest probability to be p

Did you even read the article you posted below (since flagged, not by me)? It outlines the study's results, which very clearly say that the results only show that omicron is effective at evading vaccines, and do not indicate any increa

I live in Dixie Alley, we have to take warnings seriously here. A warning does not mean "danger is likely." The NWS defines a warning like so: "A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. There is imminent dange

My Lexus (owned by Toyota) costs more than that per month, iirc. I refuse to pay it.

Honestly, I think it’s just fighting years of muscle-memory more than anything. Not necessarily a valid complaint, I know.
