I think you can go even further. Public transit is tough to do well in cities that don't have a certain level of density. They're building subways in LA, but the city just isn't designed for it, patterns of movement are too d

I wish it were possible to print a sheet of QR codes for all your 2FA accounts in Authy. The in-app backup seems to work well, but an easy offline backup would make me a lot more comfortable.

It's probably just standard remarketing to people who have visited the website or a specific page on the site recently. Something you probably do a lot as a employee. It's actually a good thing privacy-wise that it's not easy

It's interesting to read this as I've had instances running on servers for years without having to be restarted. That's on Ubuntu. Maybe the binaries they distribute aren't adequately tested on other distros?

There were class action lawsuits in both Canada and the US over the anti-competitive nature of the agreements merchants had to enter into. I can't remember all the details, but in the US merchants rights to charge consumers higher pric

I was curious about why the photo of the carrier shows servicemen standing to spell out E=mc2 in the photo above the article. It was to commemorate that the USS Enterprise was the first nuclear powered carrier. Here is a photo[1] of the sam

I'm surprised that people would edit cron in any other way, crontab -e is one of the first commands most intro to Linux manuals teaches. However crontab -r has to be one of the most poorly thought out commands in UNIX. It removes the c

I upvoted you because you're right with regards to UBI as it's argued for in places like this forum. The same arguments were true the first time these ideas were proposed when it was called Social Credit. However, I suspect that r

I don't disagree with the finer points in your argument, and I'm a big advocate for paying for services directly as a personal choice. It's perhaps a semantic issue, but the invisible hand seems to be working as expected in t

To underscore your point a bit more, NYC's population actually declined from 7 to 8 million in the 1970s. I recall a poll done in the mid-eighties where more than half of New York City residents said they would move to a different city
