I agree. I actually rolled my eyes when people initially complained that the Greek migrant boat collapse wasn't getting as much attention. This is a one off whereas migrants die all the time. However as time goes on and the articles ar

I'm always surprised by this when it's "50 years ago". Certainly the scientists and analysts at 3M who collected and analyzed the data would have thereafter known of it's extremely harmful effects. And I don't

Wow this has happened to me more in the past few months than in the previous decade of iPhone ownership. I received a call with my Mom, my emergency contact, because somehow my phone had pinged her or dialed her as an emergency. Other times

I do wonder if some of the dirt poor street-vendors were "in on it" or just the fall-guys.

I wonder if this turmeric spread and was sold in the West. My mother recently started taking "golden turmeric" and insists that it's a cure for a lot of ills. Maybe that's true I don't know, she sent me some article

Yup. I also wonder if they could see another part of the brain to see if intelligent people are more concerned of judgement from other intelligent people, or perhaps even from everyone in general for some intelligent people that intelligenc

How much of KA's web react code (I'm assuming?) can be re-used in RN land? Or vice versa, do you use RN-Web or plan to?

I don't know if what's happening at Reddit is enough to kill it to be honest. A few subreddits I subscribe to (San Francisco, videos, etc) all went dark, claiming to be doing so "indefinitely". Effectively you cannot acc

How does Apple's refunds work? I'm surprised more people don't do one-time purchases to avoid these subscription refund stories I keep hearing.

Yup. Whatever blind dev is making a living providing an app (or other software) as an accessibility layer for the blind over reddit will now have to potentially do so for free.

This is the new version of parents holding phones up in front of their faces to record moments. Now generations of kids will grow up staring at their parents' eyes through a VISION PRO instead of seeing the back of a phone in front of

So you don't actually have to make toasts? Haha I'm scared of public speaking. What would a first meeting look like for someone like me?

Is there any eh video (short-docu style) on CrossFit? All I know about it is that people make fun of it. And they do weird pull-ups that I don't want to do. But I am attracted to the community aspect because I've also heard about

One of my obstacles: it's a stones throw away from a retail/service job. Okay not really. But what I mean is, the way people respect you. My obstacle is my fear of being treated the way I was 15 years ago when I had to work retail

Wow! Thanks, I've read Children of Time, while people thought it was boring (according to some reviews) I liked the exploration of the concept. I knew it was a series but everyone said the others weren't as good, so I just never b

Interesting. What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Not responsive? Bad touch controls? Codemirror is different?

As a midwesterner formerly in a FAANG in SF I'd hear jokes openly about "rednecks", "white trash", "hillbillies", "inbreds", etc. I can understand Southern people code-shifting or switching or wh

I'm curious what the implications would be for Snowflake if they legit didn't want the asset that a board-member was trying to pressure them into buying. What if they didn't want Neeva but Sequoia knows Snowflake can absorb t

Yup, but I can also re-watch shows like The Office or Seinfeld where I know or understand the context and jokes And so I need not turn on subs like I may have to with Spanish originals. Also I recognize jokes or bits and realize what they&#

haha I agree - there's a couple netflix shows that I'll renew for to watch for a month ("I think you can leave" season 3 which comes out soon) But generally I'm not going to sub past one month for it.

The good dubbing would also help me with learning Spanish. I remember trying to watch The Office when it was still on Netflix and it didn't have Spanish dubs or subs!! I was floored. Peacock has both for The Office and the dubs are pre
