I tried this feature on Strava and it is not usable. You just get one swipe to create the route. No zooming or panning during route creation. There's a simple resolution here: Strava should switch to a more usable interface design. Wha

Humans descended from primates, which have been eating a mostly vegetarian diet for about 55 million years or so. Why not got with the diet that stood the the test of time for much longer? https://blogs.scientificamerican.com&#x2

If I leave Fastmail, I think I'll most likely switch to self-hosting email with Helm instead: https://thehelm.com/ For a family of four, the annual cost would be about half of Fastmail's standard plan.

I have a domain for my family with Fastmail. I miss the old family plan. The parents and children in our family have wildly different levels of email usage. A family plan would allow us to share pool resources instead of paying full price f

It's a signal to Australia as well as to Fastmail. I like Fastmail. American companies invert their corporate structure to avoid taxes. They become Irish companies with an American subsidiary. Fastmail can become a Dutch company with r

Rather than having in-family disputes, I've had relatively poor luck giving way vanity email addresses to family members. There's a lack of understanding and interest in how the email address would work in combination with an ex

I'm a long time Fastmail customer and will consider moving over this. I would prefer Fastmail moved their servers and place of business incorporation to an encryption and privacy-friendly country.

Domains could be used for groups, like families or companies that send internal email.

I'm sorry anyone brought out a serial killer comparison. Our dominant culture for decades has provided the belief that eating animals is natural, normal and necessary. Some plant-based advocates suffer from amnesia where they forget th

We don't give our golden retrievers a comfortable life and then kill and eat them. They don't want to die for that. Why do we treat pigs and cows differently? Pigs have even scored higher than dogs on some intelligence tests. I f

I wouldn't call an additional reference from the same psychiatrist as the original article as a "ample" information. Here's one of the expert reference she cites: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

Do you realize that has the same author as the primary article? It's not exactly a second perspective.

It's true it's not feasible to feed people in a clinic for 10 years to see if they eventually get cancer. What scientifically valid method would you recommend instead?

What's one example where it is unscientific?

Recent Harvard research found that we need to replace beef and dairy to avoid climate catastrophe. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14693062.2018.1... Harvard's finding is consistent with the

Chromecast allows casting any tab, with any URL, not just Google properties.

by markstos 8y ago
We expect that Chromecast connects to Google's servers when you are using Google services. By forcing you to use their DNS service, they can track every non-Google DNS query you make as well, which is all tied to your IP address. It is

Bah. Diversity is good for the ecosystem. Do you complain about the plants and animals with only minor differences as being redundant, a waste of evolutionary effort? Just a generation ago there was understanding that we had let too much po

That's where I see this going. Perhaps Facebook will fork Android. Today it's Apple interfering with Facebook use of mobile devices. Tomorrow it could be Google.

I've switched to a Pixelbook and like it for many tasks. The Pixelbook is lighter and has a taller 3:2 screen, both positives. The Chrome OS security model seems stronger than Ubuntu out of the box. My development environment now runs

People really want balance: thinness, lightness, performance, battery life, durability. A thin laptop that fails to endure a year without repair might be too thin.
