> Then sometime in maybe the last 50 years or so we started buying and manufacturing much cheaper furniture that wasn't expected to last. I agree with the not-expected-to-last-ness, but I don't know about cheaper. Anecdotally,

The point of advertisement is to attract people to the product. If the ad alienates enough of their potential user base, it totally makes sense to try to take that back, and make amends. To me, that alone is enough ground for retraction&#x2

Still dependent on the overall climate. It's not necessarily about how much it rains, but how humid the air is. When I was in Virginia, it rained a lot, but the air clears up fairly quickly after rain. In contrast, my grandmother lives

A lot of these projects are made in people's leisure time, without profitability, for other fellow geeks, and the users also uses them in their hobbies. And as fellow geeks, we are more likely to be financially poised to be on the othe

How much people are willing to pay for something is deeply influenced by the competitors' price point, which in search, is zero, because Google exists. Whereas Netflix's competitors (apart from piracy) are more or less offering th

Depends on what you mean by "technically". Computationally, python lambda is fully capable of whatever a regular python function can do, including side-effects, (you can call foo.set_bar()). The limit is syntactical: a lambda has

Is it? I mean obviously if the said person did pilfer, or attempted to pilfer, it would be illegal. But is there any law against interviewing for a job, while having a prior statement of intending to pilfer? Or in a more general sense, inte

Do investors know that they exist? I feel like this is something that will only happen if the archive-er actively make contact and persuade the current website owner that it's worth it to make the deal.

What I find most effective, is to wrap `get` with local cache, and this is the first thing I write when I start a web crawling project. Therefore, from the very beginning, even when I'm just exploring and experimenting, every page only

I think there's a difference between the result being binding, and that the vote stands for everyone. Abstaining leads to your opinion not being represented, which is to be expected. It doesn't follow that therefore other people&#

I still remember the first day at university. My plane was delayed, and I missed the first day orientation. The bus dropped us off somewhere in the campus. With no map, no guide, hungry and thirsty, I spent the next 2 hours looking for the

That would depend on the size of the person, and water loss. Over hydration is taxing on the kidney as well, not to mention the fact that the patient in that study was drinking tea. I'm surprised that the doctor didn't mention dri

Niche situation: I charge it when I practice the violin, which takes about an hour daily, and that's more than enough to charge to 100%. To be honest, I'd need to take off the watch during practice anyway, even if the battery last

They are doing something wrong, and having enough people doing the same thing wrong is exactly why the design of a product might need to be re-considered.

My experience with ants (at least with common small black ants) is that they tend to eventually remove the dead body after some poking around, rather than keep away from the crime scene.

Sadly that's not always effective. My house is immaculately clean, no food residue for ants to find, but they still come......for water! They get into toilet tank, cat's water bowl, flower vase, my cup, looking for nothing but wat
