The Seek app is one of those things that you can show people and they think it is magic, even in this day and age. I got my mom and my grandma using it!

This is reminding me a lot of participating in and running the ACM chapter at my university. I miss those days of being surrounded by bright, interested people working on whatever sounded fun at the time.

Qualia is your subjective experience of your senses - how can we discuss whether we see the color red the same way, or whether we smell a rose the same way? The core concept we would discuss is qualia. Qualia is not plural qualities so I’m

The fact is that this person did not use the word alien in their original "joke" - they wrote "That's assuming Einstein was even human." They then proceeded to act like a bully or abuser would act - "Oh, it was

A food scientist came to my high school and did a similar demonstration with us - except with different flavors of koolaid. Students reported red as cherry, purple as grape ... but they were actually the same flavor and only differed in col

Good comedians don’t need to explain their jokes. Good jokes don’t need to be explained. Yet here we are.

I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith as “out of this world” did not appear until this comment. This would be similar to calling Einstein a cow, then waiting an hour to say it’s because he’s outstanding in his field.

Counterpoint: I fact checked and corrected an article - the original article author misread the cited source and claimed statistics that were plausible but incorrect. In the process I improved the readability of the paragraph I touched up.

9% of women with tinnitus attempt suicide, or 9% of women that attempt suicide have tinnitus? I find it curious since I've had tinnitus since I was very young and it isn't life wrecking - but maybe that's because it is just p

FTC/FCC are supposed to protect people from misleading stuff like this and level the playing field so that companies can remain competitive without resorting to dark patterns because their competitors are.

Hmm. I would expect them to have layers of security, with one of those layers being funds in a cold wallet with serious access control around it. If I were asked to insure them, the premiums and coverage would hinge on security layers and m

I wonder what your statement would be if a hacker compromised the hot wallet and drained all of the funds?

Yes, but I only mentioned state tax. Are I Bonds subject to state income tax? The lack of state tax on T-bills was a great loophole for emergency fund growth a few years ago until yields dropped around the start of COVID.

I haven't done the research on I Bonds, but interest on T-Bills is not subject to state tax.

These things still do happen - my SO was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Her boss and the owner of the company arranged a $10k bonus, 6 additional weeks of PTO, and a 6 month paid leave of absence once she was done with treatment. I do agree

95% only seems reasonable for thumbs up / thumbs down style rating systems. Too many people treat 5 and 10 star rating systems differently to require 95% 5 star ratings. Etsy and others should disclose the downsides to leaving a 4 star

Earplugs gave you tinnitus? Do you mean earbuds? Earplugs are typically hearing PPE.

Anecdatapoint: I publish my email address in plaintext on my website and I receive very little spam. People are way overthinking the impact of putting their email addresses out there.

I would argue that there is a difference between low effort bulk spam and what OP received. The message OP received sounds like a fairly tailored request for expert advice, which is a great way to make $100+/hr to answer questions. If

Your email address is an address that you published in the commit, and you published it in a public place. You can’t really fault someone for trying to get in contact with you via an address you published in a public place. The message they

My state attempted to make pseudoephedrine require a prescription. One of the state lawmakers that was opposed was a doctor and he cited studies where phenylephrine was less effective than placebo. I wrote to my representative, who called m

No. When the average person sees an ad for something they just bought, it increases their satisfaction with their purchase (thus making them less likely to return it.) Also, when you’ve just bought something, there is a non-zero chance you

I am tempted to agree about the steering wheel, but then I think of all of the situations where being able to take manual control would be really nice - like when towing a camper, or backing a boat down a ramp, or handing over to valet park
