I was going to reply to the comment directly but I completely agree with what you said here. And to add more to your second point: Lex is catering to people who want long form interviews. There are thousands of other podcasts that fit the

I got into Lex Fridman's podcast [1] maybe a year ago and was instantly a fan of his depth-first search style. It's often frustrating in other interview style podcasts when something interesting is mentioned but not explored. Lex

Just to give a contrasting data point: I always see people complaining about resource consumption in Firefox in these threads, but I have honestly almost never had trouble like this and I use it for hours every day with lots of tabs and lot

What guarantee do you have that Amazon will delete it when you tell them to, though? It doesn't even necessarily come down to whether you trust Amazon ethically and legally, but also whether you trust their internal processes. Shreddin

But your ability to delete the data is substantially higher than your ability to get Amazon to delete it.

If the one or two things they had said included "everything is going back to the way it was before" then I don't think people would have been up in arms.

If they were truly repentant the explanation would be a few sentences saying that they screwed up and everything is back to the way it was before and they won't do it again. Instead it's an essay.

How are you integrating Node-RED into Home Assistant? How does Home Assistant talk to Node-RED? I recently set up Home Assistant (love it) and an MQTT broker for some sensors and I can think of many ways in which Node-RED could also be invo

I'm in the same boat as you and I don't have a solution but I would say that I'd be fine if the web were far, far smaller. Most content on the web is trash. The information density of most YouTube videos is so low that it wou

But does it automatically recognise it as an SSID and password and connect as the website suggests?

Can you actually point your phone camera at a QR code and have it connect automatically, as the website says? I generally avoid QR codes as they obfuscate the target URL, but I thought you needed an app for reading them on Android and possi

I wasn't trying to imply that there was no irony, just pointing out that the most obvious US Afghanistan campaign most wanted person assassination took place elsewhere. But with what you and others have pointed out it sounds like Osama

Interesting, I've not heard that view before. Why wouldn't it have come to this?

The study mentioned in the article notes the only downside to piracy is for recently released blockbusters, where 10 pirated downloads leads to 4 fewer cinema visits. I wonder how much of that would be offset if streaming of blockbusters wa

To be fair, this could just be a mistaken interpretation from the support staffer that answered the question - they didn't sound sure ("apparently"). It certainly needs an official response from GitHub senior management but I

Indeed, and that doesn't change my point (though I'm not accusing you of saying that it should). Do we believe accuracy in such accounting - at least in Australia - is error-proof to at least one in a million? Could it be 10x bett

It's worth noting that the risk of death stated for AstraZenica in this article, one in two million, surely relies on proper and rigorous reporting of the causes of deaths. As a thought experiment, let's say someone aged 65 happen

The book "If This Isn't Nice, What Is?" [1] is a collection of his speeches like this. It's a nice read. Vonnegut had a very interesting life and unique, mainly hopeful take on the world, the sort of person you invite to
