I think a spore floating thousands of miles simply because of its geometry is the most efficient.

It's even dumber than that! It used to "just work" when you landed in another country and tried to pull a single byte of data. But now you're required to call VZ and inform them of your trip beforehand. To make matters w

2nd gen SE owner here: It was a great little phone, but the batteries are terrible and terribly inadequate. You were warned.

Also, one aspect is financially supporting an entity which is based in a country that doesn't have a good notion of separation between corporation and state. You are very much purchasing a drone from the Chinese state. Corporations are

No one is doing that. I'm trying to explain to you that you might get more milage (learning more) by using a different approach and then giving you an example from my life. If that doesn't work for you that's fine. Have a gre

> I imagine, then I, too, could gain a level of knowledge that goes deeper than one could explore with mere discussion, according to you. Yes, you could. Your point is?

It is an absolutely horrible way to treat customers. Don't use their service. I've had a subscription for a while and it has helped me read more books but this cancellation policy is absolutely bonkers. They really are actively tr

Realistically a lot of people who you'd otherwise learn from will avoid discussing things with you because of this behavior. Meanwhile those willing to listen and who aren't as concerned with winning arguments will learn much more

Yes, but the lawnmower was designed and is being pushed by a human (Ellison), no? Then one could say it's an evil tool? It's really not that much of a stretch to anthropomorphize things when we view tools as extensions of ourselv

Yeah, so I can wait in the lobby for 17 minutes while some 1.8 star museum app downloads to my phone over a crappy network that my provider lied about the performance of instead of someone just handing me a paper map.

For me, the tactile sensation of chalk on a blackboard is deeply irritating. Something about the noise it makes, the dust and vibration it just repulses me. A whiteboard has none of these drawbacks and it also requires less effort to make a

Hah. Yeah it feels like the knowledge I gain here most often is just further training of my "intuition module" with little to nothing discrete being committed to memory.

I'm curious, is there a reason you buy Dell given the apparent quality issues?

Likewise. It's probably the worst web UI I currently know of. Whatever team designed and implemented it should really feel bad about themselves and their work, it's unnecessarily bad, as if they were trying to make a shitty UI. I

The company should be sued for asking about something the candidate chose to publicly disclose and write on a blog presumably intended to be read by people interested in knowing more about them? Really?

I had a similar pile but went through it and tried to pick: - Only one of each type of thing - Only the highest quality/safest power bricks - And items that punched above their weight in terms of utility (like an adapter that at leas

I also haven't owned a desktop in about 15 years but recently built one to replace my laptop. I specifically chose parts that had the most upgradability potential over time and while I'm at the beginning of this journey I'm p

Yeah. Apple has made the perfect photo workflow for me via their smart albums. I can manage a 100K library with the ease of something 100 times smaller.

Yeah. What tailscale is doing here seems like a great way to make networking even more fragile than it already is. I've checked out tailscale on occasion but always return to zerotier. I personally run my own zerotier infra. And standi

I prefer to describe this as the world being in a permanently inflamed state. "vibe shift" doesn't really capture the feeling.

> The disagreeable interpretation is that the only way to learn is from a pristine book. This is so obviously stupid that I see no reason to discuss it further. Agreed. I actually prefer to see markings in used books I'm reading. No

Some people think 2 out of 10 people are transgender or 2 out of 10 make over 1 million per household? I'm struck by either the lack of awareness of the average person or the methodology of this survey.

While not ideal, the alternative is kids continuing to sit in buses that idle for long periods of time slowly leaking diesel exhaust into the cabin area (at least that was the case with the Bluebird models I rode as a kid), that can't

Lowes needs something similar. Their search is worse than useless. It commonly doesn't return relevant results that can be found by searching completely irrelevant terms. It's bizarre.

Zerotier offers more nodes for free just FYI, and as far as I can tell they are pretty allergic to collecting user data.
