No implication of insiders imho - rarely do reps see exactly what is stolen and can -- that line item. Many stores do a (costly) stock inventory check once a year, literally going from shelf to shelf and counting what's there, then tha

I used to work in a photo store, one of those 1-hour photo things, around 2002. Most commonly asked questions were "did you see anything 'weird' wink wink?" Yes. "did you look at _all_ the photos?" You didn&#x2

This, and increasing tendency to suggest the same kind of stuff I've already seen, aka feeding the echo chamber. Also quite a bit of stuff that I've actually _have_ seen.

I took the basic (open water?) license in Australia, and the group were sent into a pool to tread water for 20 minutes or something. Now, I can barely swim. Really poor buoyancy and bad technique I guess, so have never really learned. If th

I assume ventilation is a big factor, big fans to cool the lasers. Probably some form of liquid cooling with pumps and coolant media tubes and whatnot. Really cool product! I think what this product may lack if anything, is some RGB LED lig

Ugh Lego and trademarks. My wife and I had Lego threaten to sue us for trying to import "legos" of mass destruction, it seems. We ordered a lego-compatible kit, which is ok I think, since it's only the lego figure that is pat

What's it like for blu-ray? I seem to recall that there's a master key or the like involved, which may require updating the br-player to successfully decode new discs if they change the key later on (which I also seem to recall...

Don't forget that you also need to add filler so you can shove a couple of ads in the middle of the stream. Add a side-story about your uncle that is completely irrelevant so you have room for one ad more! Then paginate the thing so th

1) safer for those stuck in consumption patterns, yes. And safer on a whole by reducing the number of new consumers. An endorsement and social acceptance via legality is the wrong way I think. Legality would likely push people on the "

There are levels. Individuals may need something that seems like "entertainment" to accept and make individual change. Politicians need something else, eg science and studies, in order to conduct politics and change/form laws

I love it. There's not enough praise I can give it for reducing friction and making me more productive. Part of that comes from making it very easy to write plugins, so I can quickly make small plugins. Was about to describe them but t

Yeah I think that's the reason for the 20-30 second wash since it takes time for the soap to break down the fatty layer.

I've traveled backpacker-style and off the track etc in quite a few countries, many of them really poor. Egypt has by far been the worst place to visit when it comes to the locals. >50% of all money transactions (eg booking a tour,

I'd say, if you like me don't enjoy the tinkering with calibration here, and adjustment there, then get a Prusa. They are by no means perfect, and calibrations/adjustments come with the territory, but they have a certain thre

Hopefully such things bring forced availability of rare spare parts. If cookie cutter capacitors break, that's nothing really since you can just order them on Mouser et al. But if a more special part breaks, say a custom voltage regula

While many tiling window managers do a lot of things, this is refreshingly simple. Keyboard shortcut to invoke it, then drag to set where and how large the window should be. Can be seen as a replacement of dragging an application window to

Would love to see the considerations that went into that design! Does it try to keep state across such a reboot? Is the first course of action to try to deduce whether it's about to crash? Is every sensor reading done multiple times to

It's not just the weight, there's also the complexity of handling 10 (or whatever) systems. It's not always easy to know when a system fails. How can you be sure that the output is invalid? Detecting complete blackouts is fai

A lot of options here, so I'd like to add another :) On cygwin/win10, I have an alias for 'wakeme', which under the hood uses Snoretoast, then I just append '; wakeme' to the command I run. alias wakeme='d

Agree. Very happy to see AAA-kind of money being spent on games that aren't microtransactionridden (mtx) monstrosities. They do have their place, since each have their audience, but it's easy to see the temptation of recurring rev

Perhaps the double-memory-and-checking is only done on the control algos and not on sensor fusion/object detection etc? Kind of "Ok if we for a brief moment believe there's an obstacle in front of us, since it'll be gone

Yeah, people wearing too much concealer put them right into uncanny valley too. Like a "bad shader cosplay" kind of thing. And it's one of those things I don't get (or, I do get it, but I disagree with) - I think imperfe
