Some people are good at playing chess, and others aren’t.

He would have to care about the case to bother doing so…

Or if they’re talking about those calling people extreme names like Hitler and fascist, it didn’t do a very job convincing people to vote the way the name-callers wanted.

His past experience was known when he took that assignment. It was considered by all before he accepted it. That doesn’t mean his boss can’t fire him, but let’s not pretend that it wasn’t a complete reversal of what had previously been de

He didn’t have that job until a year later.

It takes 10 minutes to fall 2000 feet? Then why do the instructions say eject if you’re below 6k?

That was his job later.

The radios did not work. One was out, the other was “basically functional.” At 2000 feet, while in VTOL mode, how long do you have to figure out if your backup radio is “basically functional”? And to evaluate whether the standby flight di

Agreed. I got my own domain and moved off gmail because of this, but I can’t afford the time to help support everybody else doing that. (I do encourage them to at least move to a paid provider, though.)

But wires aren’t the only terrestrial option. I can’t fathom how many satellites it would take to support all the internet users as a monopoly.

That’s interesting. Very unclear to me whether it says what you think it says. The emphasis seems to be on Google Voice service, not the number itself. I would expect the FCC complaint asking for number porting to go nowhere if Google did

by jtbayly 2y ago
That’s certainly a wise expectation, but that doesn’t make it right that the company can do that, whether you pay them or not. The fact that the FCC recognizes your right to the phone number you’ve been using (regardless of payment) is

It’s actually not Google’s phone number, as evidenced by the fact that he could have gone to the FCC and gotten it back if Google refused to release it to him. Edited to add: Also, it’s not true that phone numbers are only so important beca

by jtbayly 2y ago
He should be more mad, in my opinion. It’s ludicrous that Google can simply kill your phone number and nobody bats an eye. It’s such a fundamental part of life at this point. At the minimum, users should get a “We are no longer willing

It is very hard for me to imagine space-based internet ever being able to be competitive financially with an earth-based option outside of special circumstances.

by jtbayly 2y ago
On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, my point is that I don’t want to have to lookup the spec and figure it out and then write my own script to take one of these books and make an epub. Or go through the process manually of printing 20

Right now I’m leaning toward Quarto. Here is a link straight to book info: https://quarto.org/docs/books/

But each of those things will affect your throw. As will thumb placement.

I’m always looking out for digital book publishing systems. This article invites me to check out three books published using Pollen. It then asks two questions. > Are they better than the last digital books you encountered? Sadly, they a

I hope they win, but it won’t be worth much since Amazon can simply collect this data themselves and then sell a subscription to the city. I rarely say this, but we need legislation.

You think anti-fluoride activists are all on the right politically? I would be shocked if that were true, given that some of the most anti-vaccination people are radical leftists.

I once made a cardboard box (from an oven) into a real-life duplicator as a mad scientist at a talent show using a couple of twins as part of the show. Had some people blown away. lol.

Thanks. Somehow I missed that it is only enabled while the alarm is going off. I did see that it was opt-in and needed approval. But then I was worried about opting in.

But... then how do you delete it if you actually want it gone? Surely there is a workaround, right?

It’s an excellent reminder to anyone who ever hung out with a kid... Because it’s easy to forget. :)

But the result is that, although I want a new iPad, I cannot justify buying even one, given how useless it is in a family-shared environment.

by jtbayly 2y ago
Is this new or has it been around and people just don’t use it?

Not if the (true) purpose of having the bounty program is simply PR, rather than an honest desire to find and fix bugs.
