Well, it actually does. The convenience of a car is determined by how likely you choose a car over other means when you need to get somewhere. If there's less roads, you're less likely to choose car, thus the lowering the convenie

No, I get the necessity of deployed armed SWAT units every time there's a risk of gun violence and stuff, I don't understand why an anonymous call warrants such a response. I wonder if there's some kind of metrics available b

I don't understand why the police has to react to an anonymous calls the way they do in the first place. Is there a legitimate case where you'd need to call in a SWAT team and remain anonymous at the same time? Seems like if you&#

I think this is already very much prosecutable. The problem is that these calls are always anonymous and it's hard (often impossible) to track the perpetrator.

I own a pair of Bose QCII and it cuts off when I'm walking down a busy street. Also, it maintains a connection to both my phone and laptop at the same time, but I can't hear the phone before I explicitly tell headphones to disconn

Right. The heart performs a bunch of chemical reactions to sustain its energy needs and the fact that in 2019 we don't have anything even remotely capable of doing the same at a scale required is kinda depressing.

This article is showcasing how far even the most bleeding edge technology from recreating the functionality of basic human organs. Heart doesn't seem exactly the most complex organ structurally wise, especially compared to things like

I actually think that tabooing those topics and refusing to even discuss them makes them a lot more powerful than they deserve to be. If a topic is not discussed in public space enough, its counterpoints and refute arguments become less and

Could also be related to the fact that Google is hiring a ton of people fresh out of college, given how politically active and sheltered from any kind of dissent views current college kids are.

Curious what kind of content will be in there. I can't personally imagine Joe Rogan or Sam Harris kind of conversations under the Apple umbrella, since no matter the topic, there's always going to be someone offended and it's

I actually tried doing this at some point before 1Password. One obvious problem with this approach is when you’re forced to change your password. You can’t change salt, or hash function for obvious reasons, so you have to change site name.

Cool story bruh. Especially the part where you basically let a known criminal go without notifying law enforcement that later lead to said criminal raping and killing a 13yo girl. I can't get over how casually he dropped that fact as i

This is silly. Spending time doing interviews is a part of running business and doing some prior research on a candidate helps not to waste too much time and money bringing them in only to find out they lied on their resume.

I’m a bit worried about how we’re throwing stuff at space as fast as we can afford it without any legitimate way to clean it up after it becomes garbage. This project intends to have interlink based on 7k+ satellites and they will undoubted

Seems like those new motors are cheaper to produce and more efficient, however, they suffer from a negative effect called "torque ripple" that a lot of people notice on single motor model 3s under full throttle. Here's a vide

Twitter is actually very bad at this. It's designed to amplify the most fringe, outrageous, and reaction-provoking hot takes, and trending stuff. A lot of sensible people either don't comment on twitter, or their voices get drowne

Funny you should ask, but as someone who's left Russia 8 years ago to come to the US, I'm now considering other options. There's a lot of reasons, but Trump is definitely one of the big ones.

Am Russian, software engineer, left ~8 years ago, currently in US (Seattle) on a greencard. Not planning on coming back, or even visiting for what it's worth. In all these 8 years been to Russia once for a week.

I just got the latest air and it has the same keyboard that current mbps have. They’ve added some rubber membranes, so it’s hopefully less prone to broken keys, but there are reports that the problem still exists, unfortunately.

Current gen MacBook pros can’t fit latest intel processors into that thin body. Other vendors already leave mbps in the dust performance wise. That fact makes me hopeful that apple will have to go thicker for the next mbp generation and tha

Software relying on undefined behavior like that deserves to be broken and made fun of. I fully support breaking it and the idea that they had to revert the error message change horrifies me. This is why we can't have nice things.

I hate being a Pewdiepie advocate here, but this is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened. Christchurch terrorist was trying to make his attack as viral as possible and saying something like "subscribe to Pewdiepie"

Pewdiepie has some over 90 million followers. Judging such a huge number of people by the actions of few representatives as not too far from "all muslims are terrorists" and "all christians are pedophiles"
