I’ll explain my downvote; the tech community has been affected by challenges similar to those discussed in the article. Words that were considered standards for decades are within the last few years no longer acceptable. The changing defini

Nope. I don’t want Microsoft to police what sort of speech my kids are and aren’t allowed to have, nor do I want them to get to decide what the consequences for breaking the rules are. What I’d like to be able to do is set up a server and l

At risk of getting downvoted into oblivion, I suspect that we will eventually find a large number of individuals with long term side effects of the vaccines at varying levels of severity. I personally came down with three separate, new, hea

I think we’re going to see these sorts of things take off in the next couple of years. Greenworks and TORO have a little 300W inverter that you can plug their lawnmower/yard equipment batteries into and use as a portable power back.

I don’t think these things can be compartmentalized to neat black and white boxes. The healthcare system bears a heavy burden as a direct result of people doing whatever they want. Ask an ER doc what they spend their time doing. How about v

The report lays out exactly how this was done; it appears that among other things they were casting actual ballots on behalf of unlikely voters. > Inside the polling place and while the polls were open, Beren would advise actual in-perso

Right. I should have clarified further, an open/free clone that is available in the app stores and supports multiplayer.

Is there an open Minecraft clone? Because this is getting kind of ridiculous…

What if economic well-being was an effect of (or perhaps a confounding factor of) rather than an input factor of marriage stability? There’s a fairly large body of work that suggests that families and men in particular will significantly in

The ability to deliver a critical fix on a timeline of minutes to hours is contingent on having well exercised infrastructure and processes in place to do so. If you don’t do CD, it will either be more expensive because you have to maintain

Other snippets that have been accumulating over time suggest you are correct about the algorithm(s) being relatively simple. First hand accounts suggest they are for the most part using simple linear regression; see this comment from a few

If I’m reading it correctly there’s little significance to the 4000 cycle count; capacity had already stabilized at ~650mAh/g at around 3000 cycles and didn’t drop significantly thereafter. Am I missing anything obvious that would impl

Because of Trump. He figured out how to use social media to his advantage. Before for that, other “movements” that had bridged the gap between real and online worlds were celebrated. Arab Spring circa 2012, is a particular good example.

Not if, as the article suggested, there were multiple algorithms to choose from. Especially not if the top choices were fundamentally different from each other. It may go so far as to make it significantly more difficult for bad actors to o

This is likely a side effect of the FCC rules that requires devices to prevent software modifications that adjust the rf power. Although this could conceivably be open source friendly with such controls only on the radio software, so far ma

It’s not just the getting to a testing center, it’s awareness (and cost) of the process. Was a long time ago now, but parents weren’t really worried about or involved in my college prep process, so I had to figure it out for myself. It wasn
