Not the deepest topic, but: Can someone explain to me why there seems to be such a high correlation between being high on the totem pole and lazy bits of written word? In this case, Sam can't be assed to bother with capital letters. Fo

The practical reason _is_ that it's fun and you like it. That could be enough. I'm not too concerned about that being a reality in our lifetimes though.

I think this take is pretty BS. I'm not claiming sainthood or anything, but I don't drive like an insane person either, and every time I've driven a Tesla (which is at least semi often, my parents own one) it just goes HAM be

Heh, I put in "grapefruit" and it gave me just an absolute mess of like 100 grapefruit slices and then added a bunch of smoke over the top when it "removed the background". Then I tried "day gecko" and the outp

Yeah. Comcast is shorting me by a solid 50Mb/s and this is the reason it's annoying. On top of the fact that their garbage excuse for a website is literally completely broken. Every time I've tried to use it for the past year

Yeah, I also find that weird. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love to not have a car and I'm all for public transit/biking/walking, but I bought my car (which I love) - a brand new Focus ST for 28k in 2013. I spend

I don't think it's a _complete_ waste. It's better than it was before, but, it's absolutely true it could've been done much, much better than what we got.

The thing I've never really understood about this is... to what end? I get that, on a philosophical level, it sucks that in theory your privacy can be violated and that choice has been taken from you. But on a practical level, that&#x2

I also find it consistently obnoxious that there is essentially no way to say "My driver was fine, but your platform did something stupid" when leaving feedback. At least, not without jumping through a million hoops. The arrogance

The problem with this whole thought process is it's hilariously abstract. The people in power have F-35s. What is your collection of (admittedly, unnecessarily powerful) guns going to do against that? It also assumes that such disagree

I hope you got paid to write that. I switched from an Android to an iPhone recently and it is precisely 0% cooler or "more inspiring" than my old phone. I did it purely because password auto-fill appears to be marginally more reli

This is more or less the plot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(novel) And a number of other works. Not a terribly uncommon idea.

That's part of the reason I love running too. A minimum of fuss. It's funny that you mention rock climbing, because it's the same reason I love bouldering. You only need shoes. Climbing has something for everyone - trad for t

I consistently have issues with Prime failing to stream at 4k quality. Netflix works great typically.

The reference to crossing buttons not working I found particularly annoying because my experience here in Seattle is, except at the busiest intersections, you do in fact need to press the buttons, otherwise the crosswalk won't show t

At this point I wish we had legislation requiring a "turn off AI bullshit" option for any camera. Every time I've taken a picture of myself using the camera app built-in to WhatsApp, it blurs the shit out of my face in an att

Thank you for this link! I, like a moron, kept looking on the play store for something and only saw garbage. Never thought to sideload. The nagging in the android launcher has got more and more obnoxious recently. Half the time I open an ap

You could've said the same thing about crocodiles 54 million years ago, but, hey, 54 million years later we've still got crocs. It's a specious argument. Just because our species lifespan has been short until now doesn't

That's just not what the word purpose means. Take your example: > If I start living in my van to renovate my house Keyword here, "to". "To" imbues the purpose. If you then completely fail to actually do the renov

What a completely absurd and nonsense take. Where does this "purpose" get decided? Some secret cabal that controls the education system? Insane. There are some flaws in our education system that are likely the result of the fact t

DF's codebase is honestly the closed-source code I'm most interested in seeing. My expectation is it's just an absolute mess, but I'm so curious.

How is this a meaningful retort to the other commenter? They get to use FF on iOS, you get to keep using Safari and every other stock app. What exactly is the problem there besides what comes across as some weird form of "keep the dirt

The theory would be that washes out in the noise. It's a simplification, but on average, most of the people most of the time are not doing that - why would it zone in on the rare case and apply that behavior?

This minimizes the main problem with really going full renewables, storage. Fusion is 24/7 output at the same level. Solar and wind are not, which means batteries, and all the problems associated with that. Fusion could obviate the nee

This really isn't accurate at all. I'm in very strong aerobic shape and 95% of my max heart rate is not at all sustainable for more than a few minutes, and it is also a deeply anaerobic activity. VO2Max != max heart rate. Your h

You should consider reducing the intensity and increasing the length of your cardio. You burn more fat at lower intensities. At high intensity, you burn exclusively carbs. Check out https://uesca.com/carbohydrate-vs-fat-burn

I find this richly ironic. One of the points of the article is that not everything is black and white, and we need to take a big picture view of things. This sentiment is... exactly the opposite. It is completely possible for there to be pr
