Engineers notoriously don't buy things (at least not when they're acting as engineers).

Great, so, what are you going to build? Whatever the engineers want to play with?

"watching a movie the day before it hits movie theaters" is not the same thing at all. This is more like trying to show racist Looney Tunes cartoons from the 1940s in an educational setting. No one's making any money off &q

This is not academic: https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/video-game-preservation... These are old games, they can't be purchased anywhere, they aren't taking anyone's precious profits, and they still c

And you can only buy one game at a time, and have to enter your password in for each one? I like to do all my game research and shopping in one evening and buy 3-4 games at a time. If there's a way to do this I would love to know how

Being within striking distance of SOTA while using orders of magnitude fewer resources is worth bragging about.

I would bet money there are many different ways to color a beverage similarly. But I would bet even more money that Coca-Cola won't ever change its formula, and especially not based on dietary research. When there's public paran

It can be compassionate in other places, but I think the US has proven itself to lack compassion in some pretty essential ways.

But what happens when the smartphone is bricked by an EMP, or hacked by a nation-state virus? Haven't you ever seen Battlestar Galactica?

They supposedly accounted for sleep differences already.

Yeah, the problem is that if one side tells 100 lies, and the other tells 1 lie, you can't correct all 100 lies, but if you only correct the most egregious lies then statistically you'll only be correcting the one side, and if you

Yeah I hate it too. But it's exactly what the OP asked for.

Victor Frankl, psychotherapist, wrote "Man's Search for Meaning" in which he propones "logotherapy", which is literally a therapeutic regimen based on finding meaning.

It's not impossible for a rich person to develop spiritually and attain heaven. They just have to give up all their riches. So functionally it is easier for a camel to do this other equivalent nearly-impossible thing.

Capital letters are only useful as ECC, not direct signal. (You can't pronounce them, they aren't preserved in many contexts, the lay writer won't respect them, etc). Your idea is like saying "Google" can be a trad

I have trusted in the past, and verified that the recruiter does not in fact do their job.

It might sound fun to 'have' $10bn but consider losing your family, knowing that every person you meet is after your money (because they are), not having anyone give you responsible feedback, spending large amounts of time dealing

Interesting, thanks for the link. I'll investigate and see if I can get it working more better. But FWIW, I have multiple Model M classic keyboards (from 1992), and also other Unicomp full-size keyboards, and I've never had this

I was all excited for the TKL Unicomp keyboard they introduced a couple years ago. I bought one the second it went up for sale, and plugged it in right away when I got it. I had to ditch it after a few hours. It turns out that certain ke

Music is actually an ideal candidate. I don't listen to music all day, and when I do listen to it, it's often something I've listened to before. My current collection is about 200GB and that includes a ton of stuff I'

Polyamory is wrong. It should be multiamory.

This scale goes to 11. The age of the universe is ^17 and the size of the Universe is ^27. IMO this is still on the -10 to +10 scale, considering the sizes of the quantities involved. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate your willingness

Not to society, but to their loved ones. Whether their children via inheritance or their spouse they didn't bankrupt.

Cute idea! But I hardly think base-10 logarithms are "completely" obsolete. We write numbers in base-10 and so the length of the number is its magnitude. Your statement is like saying that strlen() is obsolete and we should be

Because that's still 2 numbers, complicating comparisons and arithmetic, and the more important number is at the end. If you could use e7.5 then that would alleviate the problems, but no software/language/calculator accepts
