Are these questions really about the technology or philosophy about what constitutes a society? Tool use is fundamental to any meaningful society and that's technology.

It’s quite easy - I just put it in the charging cradle ($10 on Amazon) every night. Since the 4th edition it essentially lasts 2 days if I’m not doing heavy workouts so I can skip a charge.

I had a nice chat with someone from Walgreens about the horrible wait times and staffing issues which turned into shelving issues when I was picking up a prescription while wearing my union solidarity tshirt. The long & short is the con

According to reddit: * Never go with a power purchase agreement (PPA) or lease. * Solar loans are not really worth it (super high interest rate compared to home loans). * Installing yourself is doable, but as with all other contractors, bes

I am ambivalent about a downturn but the resumption of student loan repayments could pull $100B ($9B/mo) out of the market [1] - which might directly impact Epic's market. [1] https://www.marketwatch.com/story/

Very interesting idea. How would this work? Would your name on any software give you residuals? How would your % be calculated - based on LOC? (ridiculous) but if not that then how? Would be granular down to the feature? sprint?

I noticed something similar 10 years ago - large XML documents simply don't render in Chrome but Firefox had no issues. Surprised this is still the case that Chrome hasn't bothered to resolve.

Loving this action by FTC. Amazon is the worst kind of predatory market provider - they are literally aliexpress + "steal good ideas from real companies" kind of grift.

WiFi adhoc speed increases are why most people don't complain about iPhones still using USB2 wire speeds. I wonder what the AirDrop speeds would be for a WiFi 7 enabled iPhone.

2400Mbps = 300 MB (megabytes)/s x2 = 600MB/s which is pretty close to the number the OP was stating. So to get over 1GB/s you need more than 2x2, right?

All of this is possible because credit cards are pervasive. I'd prefer getting some of those fees back by paying cash. We could limit financialization of everything if we had a national payment network like other countries, and remove

While this is true, they do get 72% of the premiums paid for by the USG, as well as numerous perks like free onsite visits from OAP etc. Not unlike some large employers.

Shawn Fain (UAW President) has outright rejected a 20% offer. Not to say they won't agree to 30% but for context - UAW workers gave up a LOT of pay and rights in the 2010 auto bailout - the workers essentially helped to bail out manag
