It seems like one of the countries where masking while sick and during flu/cold season is common would have some studies on this.

Also: the banks were expected to and did pay it back collectively, with profit.[0] I don't see how Tether could do that if it turns out the fundamentals are bogus. [0] https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/

There's a reason most states in the US have laws protecting library records. I don't know who runs this site or what privacy laws and policies (if any) they operate under, so I don't know how they might feel about certain boo

Something like Reaper's action search. I can't find anything 99% of the time, but I don't have to since everything is one Shift+? away.

You could even have it change at random intervals so it looks like you're on a choppy connection.

People forget those rack servers still need a CPU to run everything and controllers for all the drives.

Those modest yearly increases in battery capacity and drops in production costs add up. After a while, a use case that needed the batteries with all the downsides can get by with a safer, more affordable battery that wouldn't have enou

Those are for persuading people who do see you as a statistic. You can unilaterally disarm if you like, but they're going to keep discriminating until they see data that proves they're discriminating. Far too few people are pers

What's the difference? Discrimination is an effect more than an intent. Most people are decent and well-intentioned and don't mean to discriminate, but it still happens. If there's a disparate impact, what do you imagine caus

This is what that demographic survey at the end of job applications is for. It can reveal changes in hiring trends, especially in the demographics of who doesn't get hired. I don't know how well it works in practice.

Survivorship bias is a hell of a drug. The real test to see whether it's wisdom or luck is to predict the next Tesla. I don't think many people who point to their Tesla stock performance as vindication could come up with a repea

I don't like a world where the only way to assess someone is by how much money they make for investors. That's a bleak reality, so I prefer to act as though a person's behavior matters in the hopes I might create it by force

I don't think so. This one had to do with a memorial for someone who was murdered.

This is the second Usenet-borne word I've seen enter the dictionary recently. I forget what the other one was, though I remember it had to do with graffiti and was popularized by rather than created on Usenet. I think we're going

As someone without 250k in the bank (or generally), FDIC insurance is quite reassuring. Banks pay into it like any other insurance, so it would take a huge money-doesn't-matter-anymore shock to overwhelm it. 2008 was pretty close! Cryp

Where were the banks that financed the slave trade, and who bought the output? The north was economically interdependent then, too.

/r/IdiotsInCars made me a better driver. There is still some new failure mode I haven't seen that I don't know how to prepare for. That's the kind of thing studying the mistakes of others can't prepare you for.

I don't know about in the apps, but the web page has a row of tags above the videos that let you filter by topic. They're personalized, so you might have tags for those topics.

Just getting (relative) closeups of the discarded landing stuff will probably improve reliability of the next missions all on its own. Knowing what broke, what didn't, how it broke, etc means they can hopefully allow for narrower toler

Maybe it's finding some connection like math<->rap-focused music theory (lots of triplets)<->rap. I like an eclectic timeline, and YouTube could be optimizing for that, but I can see how it would be annoying if you don&#x27

I wish people like that would write science fiction instead. We need more kooky sci-fi writers and fewer armchair skeptics.

I don't know what to tell you if you can't see how messed up this is in general, but especially as a completely off-topic response. Who asked ? This has nothing to do with the announcement, it has no relevancy to the discussion.

Describing someone else's success as messed up while riding the line between venting and emotional dumping. Blogging was seen as a weird nerd thing until the 2000s and got the usual response. I doubt Jason Kottke was spared the same ex

Part of navigating the world without reacting like...this, is learning to handle all the shoulds that aren't without losing yourself.
