Thanks, I think. But no, I didn't mean to pick on California as a bad state, I thought for some reason most people thought it was a nice state. I do, at least, despite its warts. All I meant to say is that we can find many reasons ev

37th/50 isn't good. But people never clamor on about how awful California is every time it's mentioned(well, rarely). This same ranking puts states like South Dakota and Indiana ahead, which I'm sure many would object

Here's another list - Highest poverty rate? Lowest literacy rate? Last in opportunity? 8th worst in public safety? If you guessed California, you'd be right. Sweeping generalities and handpicked metrics do not tell an entire story

What's it called when bots start learning primarily from other bots and get stuck in a loop, no longer acquiring any real new intelligence?

I think that's the point of these questions, to have no clear answer. So a presidential candidate picks a vice president running mate. Voters vote for the pair. The electoral college then, usually but not always, cast votes matching

I'd argue even C could be seen as correct. The president chooses his running mate, after all.

Joke aside, I don't think any of those are El Paso or Juarez. Top one is Nogales, the one with the Rio Grande has water in it so can't be El Paso, probably closer to Brownsville.

I guess I didn't realize insurance for kids was now that expensive. That's insane! I have a few years til mine is able to drive, that's going to be a fun conversation...

I keep reading about ridiculous insurance prices the last few years, but it seemingly never affects me. Do most people tend to get lots of moving violations and in accidents or something? I have two vehicles, mid range limits, one brand ne

This wasn't true the last time I messed with it. I used synaptic to install packages, and many would just install the snap version anyways. Has that changed?

Shell scripting is one of those places where readability is king, and premature optimization is the devil. Yes, there are multiple ways to get by without cat. Are they as obvious to understand? If not, what are we doing? Shell scripting i

Ubuntu was leaps ahead of Mandrake at least in installation friendliness, which, let's face it - is often the biggest hurdle getting people interested. The installer wasn't bad, but kinda threw you to the wolves wrt partitioning

That's interesting. It's probably still more work than I'd want to do, especially when out and about. Is there an app that essentially does this? Does this one?

I used to use PictureThis a lot, as it was the most accurate I tried. Any idea how this compares? For me personally, the other stuff is useless, I can Google care and such later. I'm after the most accurate, point - shoot - ID app ou

I think you'll find the price at that volume and without subsidy a bit higher than a lot of people want to pay. It may be cheaper and even easier to just buy and somehow modify Onn/Hisense into dumb displays, though I've neve

X has the problem of boosting blue checks. Which basically means people pay money to get their way to the top, which leads to a few problems - engagement farming, spam/scams, and perhaps worst of all, a ring of grifters who all promot

Barrier to entry, if it's still like when I looked into it, which was many years ago. My friend was trying to get me into it. Sending crypto or paypal payments to random people is sketchy, and that's just to get started without m

This is actually really neat. I like the configurability. Is there an option to change glasses size that I missed? I think that's the only thing I noticed I couldn't do when playing around with it. * Found it, there is a small

Florida code requires wind rated houses for new builds. While they could probably use engineered wood, I'd bet it's more expensive than concrete. Put another way, every home I saw built in Florida when I lived there was made of c

The guy the article is about won the men's. At the end, the men's champ plays the women's champ for overall champion. This American mentioned was the women's champ, who apparently went on to beat him. Which either mean

Agreed. I order more from Walmart than Amazon these days. Gets here faster, sometimes same day, and usually cheaper. I think they'd be further ahead if not for their branding and lack of advertising. Walmart, at least in my life exp

My childhood library changed from a place for books, to a place for homeless people to get internet. I don't say that hatefully or anything, it's what happened. It was a tiny library chocked full of shelves. Then some were remov

The sad thing here is that it is extremely effective and permeates everything. The mainstream media has their talking points and narratives, then a counter culture arrived not to fix this, but to provide their own talking points and narrat
