So you're saying it's a prop or a rulebook? (an old xkcd comic mentioned this). I doubt it's a rulebook cause it's not a real language. If it's a prop, it would be extremely expensive. Just to get the parchment yo

I 100% do karaoke (or rather, sing along) in the car with my family and love it. But why does this need to be built-in when any smartphone would do? (The article isn't really about karaoke, just wanted to vent about creeping featurism

Oh crap I thought they were talking od firebase studio, which I was playing with yesterday and was curious to see if there would be improvements. Why does Google suck so much at product management?

You're not alone. Many have hypothesized this is just made up gibberish given the unusual distribution of glyphs. Not a recent hoax/scam, but an ancient one. It's not like there weren't a ton of fake documents in the mid

I think Taylor Swift is actually a perfect example, it's quite common to hear people say "I don't know any song by her beyond shake it off". I challenge anyone from the '80s not to know of a few songs by Madonna or

It's a rework of the old SCP story, I asked him what changed and he said "too much to mention". I read the original online so I'm looking forward to pay for a book just to give back. Agreed on hist short stories too!

That'd be hilarious but my oldest child is 10, and I think advertising a nightclub to her wouldn't be great advertising either.

If you issue currency you invite inflation (at least according to most economists), and there's an argument that it's better to screw foreign debt owners rather than make people who elect you unhappy.

What about the labor market? Where are you getting more workers given unemployment is extremely low and the current administration is against immigration? That should lead to salary increases which could lead to inflation.

Google has as much data on me as anyone is ever going to have. At a minimum, it knows I'm middle aged and have a family, and where I live. And yet, this morning it adviced me to go to a youth-hostel-with-nightclub in my own city (via G

But if you do ENV[xxx] the value is also set to nil. Using .fetch with a default of nil is what's arguably not very useful. IMO it's just a robocop rule to use .fetch, which is useful in general for exploding on missing configurat

I wonder if this will trigger a sell of in bonds, there's a common story that some investors are only allowed to invest in triple A bonds, and AFAIK this was the last of the big three still holding it for the US.

When cells duplicate they have the same (altered) DNA so the mutated cells survive. You'll end up with mosaicism (cells with different DNA) but presumably you have enough of the new cells to fix the problem the original ones had. You d

But doesn't this mean they have twice the costs in training? I was under the impression that was still the most expensive part of these companies' balance.

I think it's mostly the fact that AirBnB stopped being outside the law. Once municipalities started regulating them, hosts started paying taxes etc.. they lost the price edge.

I don't think it's surprising that a plane got downed, and I wouldn't read much into it, apart from the PR. Also, I think the rafale is a 40 year old design and has been in production since '91, the j-10 is from 10 year
