Hah, you were spot on. I gave a go at trying to normalize it. I probably spent over an hour getting to this point: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jmdBXVrT6yiXWM3UfWBI... The tricky bit is extracting the d

I hope so. I worry Rothfuss has gone full-GRRM; got too successful before the series concluded and now it's up in air if it will conclude. The only real hope I have is that it feels like Rothfuss wouldn't let his series be finishe

Do you mean original as in first-as-a-series, or original as in something that hasn't been made for tv/movies yet? If the latter, there are tons: - The Expanse - American Gods, Good Omens - Kingkiller Chronicles (being produced by

I really wish there was a 'normalized' column for prices using one coin (probably the penny) -- so it were easier to see the differences while scanning rather than seeing different letters and then having to scan up to figure out

Google will never recover in my eyes for the shuttering of Reader, which was an attempt to move people to G+.

Why would FB want them? They have successfully replicated Snap's model and are taking their users/recapturing shared users. WhatsApp had large marketshare and growth outside of FBs core markets.

I would gladly pay double what I'm paying to Comcast for the same speed with almost any other company, but I have literally zero options above 25mbps. And I live in the original home of the internet , Berkeley (which had one of the fi

I disagree completely. Tesla has 400k people who put down a grand to 'reserve a spot in line' for a Model 3. The issue is production. Tesla fired off hundreds of workers a month ago, right as they were ramping up Model 3 productio

You missed: "You don't have to navigate between 15 different services" I pay for Netflix, Prime, and Hulu -- I won't pay for CBS because there are already enough services.

the FBI is requesting information about the Twitter users that were part of the conversation. What an exceptionally flippant dismissal of what is clearly an overstep. "FBI is requesting information" i.e. the FBI is subp

The absurdity of this thing not being directly connected to BART nor Caltrain is so, pardon my language, unbelievably fucking stupid. This could have been the nexus between local transit, local tain, local bus, and interstate train (HSR).

Three things from what I can tell: 1) All of your watch history on all services are shared with the other services and the studios. 2) This gives studios and providers an argument against loosening DRM/lock in. 3) This locks out new se

The 'Golf' part in 'APK Golf' or more broadly 'Code Golf' indicates it's an exercise in trying to see how small you can get the code.

I was being hyperbolic, and the bit about washing the smell of urine off the seats should have been a real loud indication of that. My point was to highlight that we've allocated them $3.5billion for repairs, essentially; we're ge

Or the $3.5B approved for BART to upgrade some lights and wash more of the urine smell off the seats.

3nm is hugely smaller than anything else I've heard of. I know Intel is stuck at 14nm, and Samsung is at 10nm for their ARM chips (? someone correct me on that) -- could someone educate me on what 3nm chip technology means? Would it be

AMD is still at least a generation behind. They're more competitive in terms of $/perf value, but the i7-7700K still beats all the new AMD chips except in heavy-MC tasks, which gaming is not (outside of maybe GTA V).

If you're already in the market for a new CPU and motherboard it should be on the short list. If you're not already in the market this won't make you want to upgrade. To be fair, this has been true for about 5 y

How is it abominable ? And how do you propose advocation of peace to be divorced from politics? It is necessarily intertwined.
