Anyone can be an "ideas guy" because there's no failure event that stops you. Contrast this with being a plumber. Not anyone can be a plumber.

To me, such techniques feel like temporary cudgels that may or may not even help that will be obsolete in 1-6 months. This is similar to telling Claude Code to write its steps into a separate markdown file, or use separate agents to indepen

This is the kind of thing I used to tell myself that I needed to exist before I'd be able to drop cable. The ability to just mindlessly turn on the TV and drop yourself right into the middle of something and leave it on throughout the

It's going to be difficult with our current policies because we've erred on the side of making it as easy as possible for everyone to vote. We don't have a complete whitelist of citizens, it's against the law to require

Also, most crimes aren't uncovered by lawsuits. They're uncovered by law enforcement. The reason people resort to lawsuits is because law enforcement does not rigorously investigate or monitor. Voting laws vary by state / mun

I didn't leave my possession. I just owned a car that someone else left.

Doesn't the same logic apply to parking tickets?

Certainly that's an issue, but at least as bad is when things get over-regulated and nobody's willing to re-assess.

It's probably not that bad if you ONLY use it for video calls and you've never used Slack before.

There's also a financial incentive to get your bets in early, while the odds are still in your favor. The longer you wait, the higher the risk that your secret becomes public knowledge. I agree it's not perfect, but I think you&#x

Indeed. For those of us not gambling, it's really quite beneficial.

I wouldn't mind seeing an empty feed that says, "your friends didn't post today," or whatever. They have to fill the feed because I'm not paying them and they need the engagement. But if I were paying them, even a l

They should offer that privilege to the rest of us for a few bucks a month. I'd probably pay.

How many names do you think they ruled out before they settled on "Filemaker"?

Yep. And I've already moved it back. I think we can all see this is a bubble, but it has been for over a year now, and I cannot predict when it will pop. Also, there aren't a ton of great options that are safer.

I'm with you. I can read a post like OP and appreciate that drywall is a lot better than what came before, but I find it difficult to understand how we haven't come up with something better. Something less heavy, easier to fix wit

Looks great. I bought a license just so I'm sure I've got it next time I'm debugging a network issue.

Thanks for sharing this. I, too, have spent years trying to find an analog-style clock that is completely hands-off for adjustments (power outage, DST, drift correction) and it looks like this one handles it all. It feels like in 2026 this

I'm in WV, but could only get my clock to set itself when put on the correct SW-facing wall. Obviously it defeats the purpose a bit if I need to move my clock to a different wall and wait 12-24 hours for it to set itself.

It wouldn't be able to open a TCP connection without knowing what IP address / interface to use. You're right--it should outright error. You should only see timeouts like that if you were dropping the packets from some middle

Per the article, retirements were a big chunk. I guess the rest could be homeless and on social welfare systems for the rest of their lives, but I think it's more likely they have or will find employment elsewhere. Maybe I don't u

No, I accept the outcomes you are claiming are likely. I'm talking about the net results for the rest of us. There are now 10k STEM PhDs who are (presumably, mostly) not being paid by the federal government, and are now employed in the

I disagree--we're all paying for it, so it should be justified regardless. And I don't need an optimal number. But the common refrain is essentially that more is always better, and fewer means we're losing our standing in the

by moduspol 8mo ago
The number seems arbitrary. Maybe we should be subsidizing until we have 100,000 more. I'm always skeptical when something is presumed to be a universal good in a way that's unfalsifiable. What metrics would you expect to see if w
