I can't stand that this thought has permeated as much as it has. The magnitude is entirely different, and when I try to make that point I'm always seen as pro-vaping. The fact that barely any kids are smoking is a bigger deal than

I would be pretty surprised if the quality of rips since 2017 would account for a 20x increase in traffic.

It sounds like (based on the article), large-scale companies will usually either do eggs or chicken meat, not both. So you're not wrong but I see why it's not that simple.

From what I'm seeing after some basic googling, there is a fairly pronounced effect in terms of collision rates when people have backup cameras. And a small screen hooked up to a camera is pretty benign in terms of complexity. If the U

Realistically, all that actually matters is where I land relative to the population at large. Since so much of the world economy is tied to stocks, by buying into it I will remain at least at parity with my current socioeconomic status rega

It's hardly fair to portray stock market investment in that way, though. Nobody should be investing in a single stock for 30 years. A diversified sector EFT is just as easy to buy and comes with diversification so a single failing comp

It's really hard to see this as an improvement to publicly funded systems when there's not really any reason we couldn't have this in said systems. This is yet another erosion to public ownership of infrastructure that will b

Fossil fuel companies actively lobby against renewables and environmental regulation because it's in their financial best interest. By investing in those companies, one aligns their personal financial interests with the industry. I don

This cost -you- $8000. It probably cost users a lot more.

It definitely sucks when "validation" feels more like pandering and a means to an end. I think it's probably fair to say that you want to establish trust and fairness in a discussion about solving a problem though, yes? And i

Congress delegated tariff power to the president after Smoot-Hawley caused such a disaster. > The reason the President doesn't have this power is because the economy should not rest on the whims or understanding of any one person. I

It's shocking to me when people openly claim to have used chatgpt for advice on something as important as this.

I used to be in this camp, but when it comes down to it busses, trains, and other shared transportation options are both the past and the future. Kids from all economic backgrounds can use them at once, they are extremely space and energy e

It's hardly the same person saying all of these things, though. Are you just annoyed at the variety of opinions that come from people on the internet?

I think it's normal to have a hard time delineating between conspiracy and genuine concern when it comes to this. We're literally carrying around powerful computers with exceptionally reliable connectivity combined with high-resol

I think people are prone to believing that their phone is listening to them out of an instinct to believe they are a lot more unique than they actually are. A clash between western individualism and hyper-efficient consumerism. That's

It's not fresh in my memory, but I recall being extremely annoyed at the Elden Ring wiki around the release of the game; not for lack of being filled out, but the site was just not fun to use. Truth be told, it appears that Weird Gloop

I sometimes wake up having an anxiety attack because my dream was attempting to play something like this out- always something to do with permutations of massive numbers. It was a little bit of a challenge to keep it together while reading

$400 and a monthly subscription to a company that is known for only one product feels like a really shitty deal to me. I know people with various versions of this product and they do like it, but it's a hard sell for me to want to put

The fact that Dex has not made a bigger splash is entirely on Samsung's marketing department. I agree it's not -fully- there as a replacement for computers, but I remember owning an s20 for over a year before even knowing it was a

I started in basic IT, worked into SRE, and once I had established an understanding of it, immediately did whatever I could to transition into full time SWE. I went in hoping it would be cool coding to automate infrastructure, but it felt m

I think every hobby that involves equipment has some version of this. I feel like we've been conditioned to believe that consumption of a product is equivalent to participation in that hobby, mostly because the biggest "reward&quo

Interesting that there are so many similarities between how people describe the distortions and fantasy creatures like orcs, vampires, etc. It makes me wonder how much our own fiction influences these peoples' conditions, or in reverse

The article does not mention this, but the second paragraph links a MW definition which does explicitly call out that this usage is primarily US-based: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nonplussed
