How long it has been hot seems irrelevant to the question of "will this make it less hot?". _IF_ this makes it less hot, it still _might_ be a waste of money, but it all depends on how much less hot.

Depends on how well it works. If it actually brings down the temperature a noticeable amount in the summer, it might be offset by the saved air conditioning costs. LA gets some fun blackouts every summer from everyone using their AC at the

Probably has something to do with the frequency of how often people consciously use Facebook. Maybe they have comparable amounts of data, but Facebook puts a lot of effort into making you think about it all the time.

except my "real" address has dots, so I know that 0 dots are being cleaned. I just can't tell who did it.

I prefer creating a unique email alias from dots more than plus. Especially if I sign up for something I'm worried will leak my email address to a third party, I use the dots. A malicious sharer of emails could trivially strip all the

5 minutes of googling suggests that Penicillin was not patented and the mass production was later patented by the USDA (not some private pharma company). The entire modern funding ecosystem being patent based just means it's the most p

I must have less spam email because I really like this feature as it only seems to read things I want events for (hotel visits, flights, etc)

I really enjoy the update. I've posted this before, but I like the focus on my friends, the isolation of the branded content, and the ability to mute specific people's stories. I hope people get used to it rather than rolling it b

Speaking of walled gardens, that feature already exists for Amazon e-books and audiobooks read through kindle/audible.

I don't know if it would work for instagram, but I habitually block brand accounts on twitter if they promote tweets to me. I can't quantify it, but I feel like I don't see as many ads on twitter as I used to. https:/&#

Yeah, I understand all that, but nowhere does anyone suggest that they care more about the awards than general backlash. They weren't even blocked from the major awards - academy awards, golden globes - just the regional critics associ

Surely there's some people they'd turn down money from. I doubt anyone in the valley is gonna accept a check publicly from harvey weinstein right now. You're right that it's a business decision more than moral, but given
