Man that's dumb; I tested my Hyundai Elantra vs a Model 3 and found the Elantra's steering wheel actually tracked the road, in comparison the Tesla kinda swayed from side to side and only moved the wheel when on a direct (>15 d

I disagree, that sounds dumb. It would set precedent for failing companies with moderately good financials to just throw in the towel early and get away with not paying employees for their last month of service. The closer we get to employm

Purely for the anecdata, I'm also in this group. Had Tracfone's $40/mo plan for a few years and then a cc change caused a missed payment. Within 8 hours my service was discontinued, which was a huge headache trying to 2-facto

Cool so I can build suspense/tension by naming my hero John and my villain Jack, the audience won't have a clue until the final showdown!

A whopping number of online scams begin with bluffs, the scammer only needs 1% of people to believe them. The instagram account takeover is for emotional leverage to get a person further away from their friends. A second story will be conco

Wow, never expected to see "Gaben Newell is a big-tech consumer-control suit" from anyone around here. For what it's worth I'm a huge fan of Steam, if you want to avoid it for personal reasons just go download a copy off

Drew just doesn't want to have to deal with kids while being able to finance a non-megacorp-owned place for repositories, sourcehut is less expensive than netflix. IMO the true disaster is a generation of freeloaders demanding stuff al

Agreed, the iPhone mini is the only thing that comes close to my old blackberry which I still pang over having to give up in 2019. Without it I'll probably invest in a good landline & get my social group to understand they can&#x27

2,000; 4,000; 16,000; 32,000; 64,000; and 128,000 are my favorite thousands! We don't talk about 8 anymore, black sheep of the thousands family.

Welfare benefits _are_ universal, you need only qualify for them. The problematic fraud is those who qualified and desire to return to regular society, but do not want to return their benefit to their fellow taxpayers. The other fraud is th

I think Linus is making a good point, in a project as long-running as the kernel having commit messages like "Merge temp-branch-a into temp-branch-a-next" is clutter and really ought not make it into `master`. Obviously Linus coul

To be fair that info is already available w/ port sequence analysis, the same machine will pick from the same set of ephemeral ports for outgoing connections. I'd say the time for vanity privacy arguments is over, I'm all-in

Can't buy what nobody owns, and bitcoin does have builtin caps for total amount with no way to recover coins sent to lost wallets. It's a nice clean proof that the price must trend to $0.

I do the same thing with movies + anime, I can + will pay for it but streaming is a no mans land for me. It's a useless product that provides no value, but an .mp4 or .avi file can be played back on any hardware I own, anywhere.

To be fair, scanning from a mobile device has almost zero discoverability. Few mobile OSes ship with a builtin "Scan" app in the same way that they all have a "Camera" app. What modern societies need is a tax on feature

No idea, I still use a regular password b/c that was the fastest thing to type in on a BlackBerry. Never figured how people could memorize numbers more easily than words/phrases.

I love these analogies to retail markets, but one major difference keeps digital goods from behaving the same way: spoiled food is easy to identify by customers and changes their behavior, incentivizing the quality controls we have today. S
