That’s true but I always had 3 levels: - noscript - js failed to init - app loaded I’m very big on graceful failure though because it builds systems that you can really trust.

As someone who was working on a Wi-Fi connected e-ink display, you’d power down once you updated the display obviously.

Yeah this war is to try to stop NATO expansion, especially into Ukraine. In a way, it may do that. It’s just silly because countries have considered joining NATO because they don’t perceive Russia as a good friend, and in response, Russia d

Not to mention Germany had just decided to shut down all of their reactors, following Fukushima.

It’s a pretty simplistic view to regard someone doing something that you don’t understand as irrational, especially when you’re not in or will ever be in their shoes. You’d think past some age, people wise up to the nuance of the world.

AFAIK it’s not so much a lack of collaboration. It’s more nuanced than that. The lower frequencies used by Europe for 5G are already allocated for amateur and other uses here in the US. I believe Europe has been more willing to take away am

More depth and nuance I say. I find just skimming headlines gives me facts but facts are kind of useless. For example you could tell an alien that the average human drinks 1 cup of milk a day and the alien would have a fact but be completel

Yeah the Economist is pretty well known to be neoliberal. Which is fine… I subscribe and it’s a pretty good source if you understand that.

You just need a buffer overflow in a file format parser. Thus the distinction has never existed. There has never been such thing as a “safe” format.

I mean cars are fairly replaceable. Nearly every part on a car wears. And a car 10 years ago at the same price point seems so much more dated.

Sure, your point stands if you pose it that way. But if you pose it as seeing album art for music that you listen to (and titles!), that’s going to get a yes from a lot of people (myself included).

It’s such a blurry line now because with so many vendors, you can find everything on a spectrum these days

Another possibility is that energy is really hard to come by. Humans absolutely struggle to amass much energy. Think of the insane amount of energy required to lift things into space, and how many millions more amounts of energy we’ll need

You can’t over one poll. It’s really consistency that you’re looking for over many, many polls. The worst part of figuring out the trustworthiness of a source is putting in the time and effort to comb over all of its output and comparing it

Which makes sense. But when other companies do it, they tell you that it’s not forever. I suspect other companies want you to still be a customer in 5 years.

It’s kind of like a little speeding on the highway. In many places, a lot of people are OK with it and the risk of being ticketed is very low. Yet in other places, it is not OK. Something being on paper is basically meaningless. It’s all th

But your article also says that SA has major issues with the regulation of alcohol consumption, issues that do not exist in a country like the US (according to the article).

I personally think hacker news hasn’t fallen victim as much mainly because it’s so small in comparison. I feel like once any community starts growing faster than a certain rate, its core focus inevitably dilutes because there are not enough

It’s easy for this example but usually the line is way more blurry Currently richer areas already subsidize plenty of things like roads, airplane routes and many other services. It’s figuring out below what number of users it is when it is

NAT sucks but is harder to misconfigure. I’ve never accidentally let something through NAT. But accidentally not configuring a firewall? Everyone does that and has done that and will forever do it.

It only sounds good on paper But I’ve had a small garden for years and it’s 100% not worth it due to the small yield and extremely high labor. And just because you have a small garden does not mean agricultural pests are easily managed… in

I don’t see how anyone conceivably can compare getting nearly 8 billion individuals to follow COVID orders where failure only requires 1 individual leaking the virus compared to a select few people who can launch nukes who all have to agree

I’m going to be contrarian and honestly say I have no issue with Gmail’s spam filter. Works really well for me.

About 10 years ago or something, someone in the US government made this mistake and it was all over the news. That’s when a redaction tool suddenly appeared in Adobe Acrobat.

NFTs aren’t permissioned by end users. The person that deployed the smart contract still controls all permissions (although they can’t change it later — that is the only difference). The reason that you can trade a NFT is because the smart

Somewhere can’t be robbery if you continue to permit it everyday… if you actually believed your words, you’d move to the middle of nowhere with no Internet and electricity or roads. And it’s not robbery if you’re getting something from it e

People aren’t moving out of CA to less tax-y places. They’re moving to cheaper places (with less to offer). There’s a net migration of rich people into CA (and there always has been). It’s the lower income that move out because they simply

I haven’t used these but I can ask say from general experience is that you get injured when you do something outside your skill level. So sometimes you’ll hear about someone getting injured doing something but I find it to be a meaningless
