If you want to fix medicine, increase transparency. Earlier this summer, I had white spots on my throat and needed to go get checked for strep. I called around, and finally settled on a facility that told me they could check for strep for j

Yeah I remember when 15% was a good tip and 10% was socially acceptable. Today, even 15% can subject you to social criticsm. Expected tip is definitely going up.

In Japan, a tip can often even been seen as offensive. "What, you work at a curry shop? Here's a few hundred yen you poor thing." sort of message that is implied by tipping.

May not be what we wanted to happen, but everyone got home safely. That's a win in my book, glad the emergency systems are working as intended.

It's basically pre-calibration production. As wafers come off the line you learn that there are miscalibrations, parts that don't work perfectly, places where things are misaligned or maybe other minor issues that impact performan

What's the motive? If we assume a motive of theft, seems more reasonable that there's organized crime involved than a state actor.

No, hololens just isn't good enough. Won't see market traction, because it's too unrealistic, the immersion factor too low. There's a minimum bar of realism we need to hit to have reasonable AR and VR. The original Vive

It'll be nice when browsing without a license is punishable the same way driving without a license is. People will finally be held accountable for the things they say and do online.

You are missing the point. Gene drive can do this to any species.

Teens get a lot of supervision and training before being allowed to drive. They take classes. It's not quite a fair comparison. Though maybe you could argue that a driver's license is enough to let a teen use a scooter.

"Works without an Internet connection" That's all I want. Why did the first two generations of smart home equipment require a cloud? That's harder to develop. blegh

SUV perhaps wasn't the best example, because SUVs often can't get to places that need water - if they could, SUVs would be bringing water to that place. At a $100 water bottle price though, I can literally afford to use a helicopt

Can you elaborate? Just stating that the grandparent is wrong isn't great discussion.

After a hurricane, water sometimes goes for $100 per bottle. While that seems like price gouging... At $100 a bottle I'm going to be loading up my SUV with as many water bottles as fit and I'll be driving to the disaster area. I&#

This is why I've been unhappy to see Bezos gaining steam. As his other products become more successful, you can expect a lot more of this. Alexa is not your friend, Alexa is a tool to make Amazon money. Amazon's move into media is

I have the exact opposite issue. Firefox is zippy, and chrome slows my whole computer down. Switching between discord and chrome often incurs a 10-30 second lockup of my machine, where I basically just have to wait for the two to battle it

I've been very happy with firefox, with one exception. For whatever reason, I can't log into gitlab without getting a '422'. On chrome it's not an issue, but on firefox I can't log in to gitlab despite lots of

The security of an iPhone is completely dependent on what Apple decides to do with iCloud and with the applications that come from the app store. Sure, Apple may be more secure against $random_blackhat, but the user still isn't in cont

There's just as much good content out there as ever. And there was always attention seeking content. Even 5 years ago you could find bountiful cleavage, kissing, even porn stars doing asmr. If you like the wholesome stuff, it's no

Easy solution: don't watch it. Commercials may be hard to avoid but an asmr YouTube channel is very easy to avoid. If it's not your thing, move on. I enjoy it very much

I know more than a few people who prefer Linux but boot windows for gaming. The biggest reason they don't make a bigger effort to support Linux games is because there aren't enough options. More emulation means more traction for L

I would really like to replace Electron. It's way too heavy for the types of things we want to use it for. But two things make it extremely valuable: 1. Ability to render css and js, so that web devs can build our app 2. Easily cross p
