It’s well into summer in the northern hemisphere and the virus is still spreading as rapidly as ever, so that would be pretty good reason to think it’s not seasonal like the flu, which dies down a lot in the summer.

My school in the US had no windows in quite a few classrooms. I guess that’s what happens when you take an empty building designed for offices and divide it up into classrooms. It also had terrible ventilation. Many rooms would absolutely s

The international regulators are getting their modifications made. The plane is undergoing new flight tests as of this week. It will be a slow restart due to COVID but the plane has survived the biggest obstacles already. It will be in pass

Zero reason for a Comac order when there’s tons of used A320s and 737s sitting around up for sale or lease.

Norwegian is not the main airline of Norway (that would be SAS in conjunction with Sweden and Denmark). Norwegian is (was?) a low cost airline that expanded too fast and used various subsidiaries to incorporate most of their airline in othe

I mean, sure, it’s wasteful, and I’d love for the post office to go electric. In comparison to all the waste that goes on to support every other aspect of my American way of life, however, it is absolutely microscopic. I’d rather we direct

Those discounted rates are still profitable. The margin is small, and they make it up in volume. There’s an economy of scale to be had when every single person on the route gets the same bundle of local grocery ads, whereas if I send a firs

Dumb clickbait title aside, while it’s good that Apple is making it easier to opt out of explicit tracking with this and improved tracking prevention in Safari, I think the tracking industry is moving to device fingerprinting and first-part

This feels like something you can usually only get away with if you’re the mythical 10x rockstar developer. The employer has lots of options. You are merely one of them. They already rule out tons of applicants on arbitrary criteria. The po

The old Github was honestly a terrible UI. Not responsive at all, making it awful on big and small screens. The information density feels the same to me; it was low before and it’s low now, but at least diffs fill my screen (though improved

Also worth noting is that with recent iOS versions, third party password managers are recognized at the OS level, and can be used with the same seamlessness as iCloud Keychain.

That’s the current highest bid, not what it will necessarily sell for.

Probably. See the “Seattle Police Officers Guild” which is definitely a union... police aren’t independent contractors, or craftspeople, etc.

Technically, Amazon Fire tablets are also Linux, and cheaper. (But the Fire runs Linux in the outdated-Android-with-crapware sense, of course, so this is still quite different)

Back in the day, my high school used OpenDNS to block all kinds of sites. Of course, setting 8.8.8.8 on your laptop got around that trivially. They also had separate WiFi networks for teachers and students, and because they didn’t pay for a

Well, humans aren’t entirely rational ;) I wouldn’t say the paper be automatically disqualified and the author exiled, but I would question the author’s judgement.

Many people find certain opinions of JP’s fall beyond the spectrum of reasonably debatable points of view, and cross the line into the unacceptable. You may disagree on whether JP is too extreme to be part of reasonable discourse, but every

My brother showed me a while back that he could reset his screen time on an app by deleting it and redownloading it from the App Store. It’s incredible how badly designed this feature is.
