I never made the link with the sound levels before. I just figured this out recently too. >6pm when people left the office and >8pm when the dull humming of the HVAC turned off gave this odd feeling of calm like it had been subcons

This growing societal condemnation for every sin (past, present, or associated) may be called "virtue signaling" or "cancel culture" these days, but it already had a personified name thousands of years ago - self-righteo

Freedom is great, but so is eating, and so is the promise of a much better life for your kids. Thanks for the reasonable insight, you make some good points, especially that one which touches on the importance of hope. My question then is

China's rise to dominance is unquestionable now. The current US administration has failed miserably. Breathe into a bag, dude. You and everyone else fear-mongering in here. China has a lot of talent, but they also consist of a gove

It's all beautiful if you know how to look. Fully explaining a blade of grass to its core would have more engineering, biological, physical, and mathematical knowledge than all of mankind's best web startups, businesses, and inte

You'd be surprised, Chick-fil-a has a TON of fraud to deal with given their food's popularity. They push the "convenience" of the mobile app (and it is in some ways), but coupon fraud was also a big hidden reason drivin

Good to hear. Cliqz was always demonstrably anti-US as their core motive [1], I never understood why HN even allowed their domain to post on here. Glad we won't have to keep sending them free traffic and enabling them to spread their

There's no doubt action (and speed of adaptability) is important, but I'd also highlight a 2nd virtue - patience. Action for the sake of action is called panic. People who like to control things (executives, leaders, me, etc) oft

At least with eBay you know the product you’re getting is actually from the seller you bought it from. The likelihood is generally higher, but I've received drop-shipped items from eBay that come directly from Amazon & Walmart wa

Right now the bulk (>95%) of this short-term correction is tied directly to COVID-19 total infections + infection-rate data. The parasitic drag on second and third-order (and beyond) economic factors have barely kicked in (i.e. lost pro

Tossing my 2020 -> 2030 tech predictions in here for the sake of posterity: 2020-2025 - Crypto currency receives its biggest test when the next recession hits. BTC value will collapse to the $100 - $1,000 range during this period, as ho

Interesting tidbit from Cliqz ( https://cliqz.com/en/ ): Europe has failed to build its own digital infrastructure. US companies such as Google have thus been able to secure supremacy. They ruthlessly exploit our data.

I really like the approach of Blazor wrt WASM, but really dislike having to dump whole code blocks into CSHTML files like I'm writing old ASP.NET Forms again. Something just feels off. Is there any way to isolate those code blocks and

There is a big upset coming in the UX world as we converge toward a generalized implementation of the "diff & patch" pattern which underlies Git, React, compiler optimization, scene rendering, and query optimization. Don&#x2

On a more spiritual note, we're all bus ticket collectors. PG is defining "matters" as "what can make money", which is fine for a business-focused essay, but it does what we all attempt to do - convince ourselves t

Do you have AV interfering with any intermediate files, etc? I know for MVC/ASP.NET once I blacklisted the overbearing AV scans on a few of those directories all my woes disappeared. For whatever reason I have the opposite experience,

A lot of devs really feel open source software can be written for free while they themselves need to be paid top dollars. Of course we need to be paid top dollar. We donate our (finite) time and mental resources at the cost of family lif

Are you really lost if you can recognize you're lost? I always figure the point of spiritual malaise and existential wandering is to prune away the false hopes and beliefs that keep us mildly entertained and encourage us to seek out et

You most definitely can. Steering is enabled by grip, and modulating the brakes at front or rear will change available grip. Every once in awhile I'll enter a corner too hot on the bike and a dab of rear brake will tighten things up.

I was all about the M600i. Imported that in white from Japan back then - a beautifully designed phone w/ rocker keys great for fast texting.

I feel sorry for the people who are going to have to die for this to happen. I try to explain this to friends who are far too optimistic on self-crashing car technology. Self-driving cars (SDC) ultimately trade one class of problems that

Always interesting to see when the disruptor becomes the disrupted (AirBnb's One-Host One-Home policy), and then suddenly bending the rules is an issue. You'd figure AirBnb would remember their days of being a rebellious teenager
