I think that people also say that they have no practical use for it because they don't have access to it, so they don't realize all the practical uses. For instance, I've worked with a lot of engineering companies that collec

I'm confused by the cities. Most of the restaurants under San Jose weren't in San Jose. And many of those were in San Francisco. But there's a San Francisco section.

It's what happens in a lot of places with open access networks. And it's what we do with a lot of infrastructure, such a streets.

I'm cautious with Asianometry. I watched some about a year ago and he wasn't completely accurate. I don't remember which videos now, but letting people know they should consume more than just Asianometry to corroborate facts.

In regards to saving water, there can be huge benefits to doing so. I'm on the Utility Board overseeing the municipal utilities for my city (electricity, water, wastewater, trash). Our city is growing rapidly, and expanding a sewage sy

I think that this advice from Technology Connections is bad advice. I was having huge problems getting my dishes clean in early-mid 2020. I thought my dishwasher was broken and needed to be repaired, and then it started working again. What

I pretty much love all styles of pizza, which I think comes down to setting expectations. If you're expecting pizza style x and you get pizza style y you're going to think it's bad. (Note: within styles there are bad pizzas.)

My dad worked at Tandem in the 1980s. I remember going and visiting him at work and the huge tape memory. And the swimming pool at the office in Cupertino.

I always assumed that people knew a fair bit about the Spanish flu, but maybe that’s due to my family history. My great-grandparents died of the Spanish flu, leaving my one-year-old grandfather and his older siblings as orphans. His birth p

I had this same problem and thought the page was frozen for quite some time. But what a lovely sidewalk! Sometimes I think about what the world would be like if we had no wars, no crime, etc. Think of all the resources we could put towards

Yeah, there's a lot of nuance here that is being lost. The second paragraph says: "Take for example 34 E. 68th St. in Manhattan: The 1879 row house, located in the Upper East Side Historic District, once housed 17 separate apartme

The funny thing is that this was actually the third SPAC boom. I cut my teeth on Wall Street in 2008 and they were all the rage then too: "SPACs have a distasteful reputation due to a number of scandals associated with them in the 1980

I have a question about this. The page says that uBOL has "limited capabilities out of the box" due to it "not [requiring] broad 'read and modify data' permission". But you can give it broad permission ("C

I’m an American and I have always had health insurance through work until two months ago. It’s been baffling having to figure out my own. And crazy expensive.

I feel like it should be governments and companies that should be required to have total transparency, and individuals should be able to maintain total privacy. Seems like it is the opposite these days.

All I can get is cable internet so this worries me. What’s the best way to implement power isolation and surge protection?

That’s true, but it was a pretty early attempt at creating municipal broadband. The “industry” has learned a lot from the negative outcomes about how to do it successfully.

A couple suggestions: - Community Networks, part of ILSR, is a great resource. They also have a good podcast called Community Broadband Bits. ( https://communitynets.org ) - If you or someone else you know is involved with the cit

I think it’s a 90’s/2000’s term (e.g. SourceForge) that is now archaic. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software) : “In FOSS development communities, a forge is a web-based collaborative software platfor

I recently switched after years of using Pocket. The first thing that made me switch was Pocket rebuilt their iOS app but with only a few of the features. Many things, such as highlighting, were left out and support says they will be built

What I can't stand about a lot of audiobooks is that a lot of narrators have this weird way of speaking. You know how news anchors and reporters have a special news voice they go into? A lot of narrators do the same thing and it is so
