Japan kept up with a system like this until the early Meiji period (1870s). As you can imagine, it led to some interesting mechanical clock designs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clock

Perhaps a match for the UK market? From what I've read they often don't rinse the soap off of dishes there (I wish I were making this up).

If this is what you get for selling out, just imagine what those of us who didn't sell out can expect? People sell out in order to get better conditions for themselves. Furthermore, this monitoring only strengthens Meta's abilit

People who are focusing on whether we should have sympathy for Meta employees here are missing the point. Meta employees have some of the strongest bargaining power in our industry. This particular imposition is undesirable to almost everyo

Regardless of what good things other Israeli companies might be doing, it's clear that the Israeli government doesn't have a problem with these malware / spyware companies.

The US has plenty of guns. The idea that there aren't sufficient guns for some kind of armed resistance is absurd. The issue is cultural - we'd apparently rather fire them off in schools and malls and movie theaters.

What happened was the audience changed. Before, the audience for things about writing code was mostly software developers. Now it's the employing class. The collective wisdom of engineers? It has little impact on the conversation becau

Oh, I’ve read it. Including this gem: "When you are in prison, it becomes your home. When I heard this morning that Evin prison was bombed, I felt a sharp pain in my heart. When I was released, I left a piece of my heart the

It's interesting to see the kind of nonsensical, evidence-free ideological statements that some people use to hand wave away decades of horrifying US perpetrated atrocities. Ignore the genocide the US is engaged in right now, if it los

I wish printers could have a mode like this to print random images from an album, or a calendar, rather than wastefully draining ink into a sponge every few days. If nothing else, maybe it could be some kid's high school science fair p

So in other words, while America is starting the most wars, it somehow gets credit for the hypothetical wars that weren't started? The assumption being that the natural state of the world is to have a world war every few years?

Indeed, not enough people are asking why the Biden administration sat on the Epstein files for 4 years and did nothing with it.

> Notice how none of the blue voltages match any of the red/green ones (other than the extremes)? That means you don't get to see any pure grays I assume this is why RGBI color was so common in the 80s.

Very few industries have an interview process that's as painful and time-consuming as the software industry. If people are "job-hopping", perhaps it's because they're dramatically undervalued by their employer. I le

It's sort of ironic that all the money going to "teach Bambu a lesson" is ultimately defending a guy who is building free tooling that specifically adds value to the Bambu platform. In a sense they win either way.

America is also run by a cabal of pedophiles and despite that being pretty out in the open at this point, there have been no consequences for them at all. It's not a good looking situation when even CSA and genocide are met with an &qu
