Yes! I was trying to think of the name of it after making this comment. Thanks.

I thought Amazon held them, my bad. I was interested in this space around the time of the Kindle Fire release. It seemed to me like they just didn't want to chase a form factor that couldn't sell 90% of their media. So maybe there

Despite all this, E-ink's biggest problem is that Amazon owns all the tech and doesn't want to ever see it succeed.

Only reason to be offended is if you are one. I've noted your request!

There's no refutation because there's no argument to refute. It's always some form of "There are bad people doing bad things and we need to stop them." Notice how every thread here is about acting against alleged

It's so excellent that they've streamlined things for us here. I wish we had something like this here on Hacker News, to tame the ne'er-do-wells who disagree with Mother TV.

How do we present evidence for the side that's banned, again?

Fascism and disallowing lying are the same thing.

Is "pixelized" the norm somewhere? I'm used to "pixelated."

It's not. There's never going to be a tool that does this with black bars. The only benefit I can think of is legitimacy. Having something blurred there suggests that there was actually something there.

I think it's part of a method for mapping foot traffic inside a building. It came out around the same time as the "see people through walls using wi-fi" demo.

Nah they're referring to the media meme that a drink or two per day is good for you. Not not bad for you, but actively good for you. Alcohol's poison at worst, empty calories at best.

Did I read that right? They got the new number by measuring superpositional differences between an atom and... itself?

This is true for its well-known other health risks. Cancer risk doesn't care if you spread your seven drinks out over a week or over a night. Moderation might even be a riskier strategy from a cancer risk standpoint, if the imbibed a

My experience with every personal assistant is the same. I start using it. I have two or three commands I do regularly. One of the commands stops working. I stop using it forever.

This is because of the lag time of Vitamin D. It takes six weeks to change your levels. Since the course of Covid is lower than that, it's generally not helpful if you start supplementing after getting it. There are enough "long h

Do you think we should wear masks on Zoom calls? Consider your answer very carefully, as it determines your "they" status with a whole bunch of people.

Too much rhetoric takes this format. We're up against a virus, not some sympathizer group of humans. There's no outgroup, no matter how much the news convinces you to hate anti-maskers, lockdown protestors or the infected. These r

Exactly. It hasn't been this big of a meme since the 60s.
