Note-taking in general, whether on paper or digitally, is pretty bad at improving retention [0]. There are far better techniques for furthering that goal, if that's the target; most obviously, active recall testing & distributed pr

Startups can easily opt to convert ISOs to NSOs after the 90 days -- but of course, they typically do not.

No, by law ISOs just convert to NSOs at 90 days. Startups themselves decided to expire them, there is nothing preventing them simply allowing them to change. You get worse tax treatment, of course, but at least you get to retain the ability

What if the permission enablement was made more difficult? Perhaps like how you get to access Android developer tools only after tapping the build number a bunch of times. Or even, making it something you have to run from a CLI while connec

Does it really take people "a few hours" to integrate a dependency? For personal projects it's more like 15 minutes, and even for stuff at work it doesn't generally take longer than an hour. Broadly I find that FOSS libr

I think your math is off by a factor of ten: $5/month * 12 months/year * 10 years = $600, not $6,000. I do agree with the general point, though, it seems like education is a really tough market to monetize as people are very price

It's probable that the border issue made them more willing to take actions that they might normally avoid in fears of unnecessarily angering China. I think of it less as pure posturing and more as, if we're already in a border dis

If you want to force people to handle the above 3 cases, couldn't you just throw separate checked exceptions (eg in Java)? In that case the compiler does care about it. You can still catch and ignore but that imo is not a limitation of

Since they never released the exploit, in reality we have no way of verifying this is actually true. It very well could be the case Tails still has this vulnerability.

FWIW, I don't think honey is considered healthy. In any nutrition recommendation I'm familiar with, it is considered a part of added/free sugars, aka something to limit.

Must we always prefix advice with "may not apply to everyone"? I'm personally tired of reading it so often; anyone receiving advice should use some critical thinking and realize that not all (or even any) will apply to them.
