I don't dispute the beneficial OPSEC here but it does nothing to reduce the burden.

How does this relate to travel? Are you saying that the modern smartphone drops logins so often that the burner is less of a burden? Or that you should just travel with a laptop? (which I do quite often, since a thin laptop takes so little

The resources you link to are helpful; however, this is not really practical advice for most people most of the time. To the extent that our smartphones are a very helpful device to have in our day-to-day lives at home, they're even mo

No single alternative has to be better in all cases. Any diversification will end up reducing demand for treasuries. It's not a black and white issue.

I think there's just too many confounding variables to say. ZIRP policy ended in 2022, with interest rates going up 5% between 2022 and mid-2023[1]. This both means that money was historically cheap when these early-career developers w

Exactly. My parents found one familiar, in particular, that wanted a huge (and extremely nice) china cabinet. After moving that, they put claim on more and more things. Great! Some neighbors also helped take things off their hands -- it wou

My situation at work is absolutely untenable. Constant redirects, logins that used to have passwords but now have passkeys, but you don't find out until you enter the password. Chrome hijacks the passkey dialog and wants me to use my y

My parents (born in the late 30s-late 40s) just moved from a 5 bedroom house larger than my own into a 2 bedroom retirement apartment. The house sold more quickly than expected, so they were in a panic to move out. They're not hoarders

my 10 year old 75" TV cost me upwards of $70, probably $100, to move across town -- at the cost of the boxes and packing material and labor the movers provided. When I move again in a few months I think I'll just throw it in the b

I've been pleasantly surprised with Golden Gate. It's fresh-looking, works well, got rid of a lot of the ugly flat stuff they did over the last few releases (pre-Tahoe), supports more hidpi modes that make my work machine better..

You don't think maybe it's just a little bit tongue-in-cheek? Maybe a reference to how the US Military sometimes goes into foreign countries saying we'll be greeted as liberators?

The advantage of my tungsten wedding ring is I have 5 of them, some in different sizes, and it cost me less than $100 for them.

Yes, it does 26.7 -> 27 sequentially, IIRC.

Yep. You could choose "26.7" or "upgrade to iOS27" but after tapping "upgrade to iOS 27", the next option was JUST 26.7 I think it did both upgrades in series though, I don't think I had to manually select

I know the autocorrect is broken -- I consistently hit a bottom row character like "n" instead of spacebar, and it's simply unable to comprehend that you might have hit a letter instead of space. It comes up with all kinds of

IANAP but it's hard to imagine that the many mistakes the Pilot Flying apparently made were related to unfamiliarity with the type. They just all seem so, so, so basic.

If we accept your premise, the current war has made us less safe, because we've had previous, stronger nuclear deals that have now been torn up in a failed attempt to replace their leader with someone more favorable to the US.

Yep. I went through my big box of cables, deduped a lot of things, got rid of a bunch of stuff I'd never need, etc. Of course, I DID need one of them just a month or two later! But it was still a good exercise. Now I have a whole drawe

The fact that the band changed their handles months ago and haven't complained? Occam's razor, man.

What is "meaningful"? I was listening to the Accidental Tech Podcast last week and Marco said that the iPhone Air has lower penetration, after 1 year, than EACH of the 12 mini and 13 mini _currently_ have. Among a tech audience. W

That's a great point I was overlooking-- that said, I know plenty of people on my corp plan who also have strong opinions on different models' strengths, so there _also_ are plenty of people who are legitimately digging into the p

I use claude all day every day, and sometimes codex, and I still don't change models. I guess I'm more interested in accomplishing the thing than in experimenting with a dozen ways of accomplishing the same thing.

So, basically, in an attempt to reduce bias, they're overfitting to all new information, which increases bias?

Perhaps it ranges (if a measurement). But my best guess is they simply _cannot know_ because the usage patterns of the new elevators will be different from the old elevators based on dispatching and sequencing and call systems. In other wor
