It wasn't so much him, like you say it's understandable given his personal experience. The blame should be on the people who gave him the microphone.

I don't have too many issues with WiFi, but my house is sort of isolated. I don't have much if any interference from neighbors. If I lived in an apartment complex with 10 or more different WiFi networks in the same airspace it mig

And the Leaf looks like the typical electric cross between a clown car and a golf cart. The Roadster was based on a Lotus Elise. It looked great.

I think in context, "vacant" means a property that nobody is living in and is not on the market for rent. It's simply owned by someone as an asset. This was the complaint in some parts of Canada: Chinese owner/investor

Yeah I tend to use "select *" in interactive queries when I'm working out what I want, but then write explicit column names in anything going into production. This helps with the column-being-removed case, as the query will f

I mean, it's Ashton Kutcher. He has a certain name recognition to be sure, but he's an actor. What has he ever done to show that he's some kind of deep thinker on the subject of child exploitation? I'll grant that his em

Thanks for clarifying. I don't have experience with boxing myself, but yes I was mostly talking about competition (i.e. fight to knock-out) and it makes sense that training is more about the skills you mention.

I saw that too and it made me smile. I think it can still be done. Just cut out the brain damage.

I could support kids learning boxing if it was limited to body blows. With what we are learning about concussion, it seems to be more and more understood that blows to the head are never OK. Maybe you still need to teach defense against hea

At the time this was written, boys learning to face danger, fight, and possibly getting injured was considered normal.

In the meantime is there a Librem phone without a camera? Because the camera is like the lowest priority thing for me on a smartphone. I could easily live without it.

If renting a car wasn't such a PITA that would be somewhat tolerable. You book a car, get to the rental place (only open 8am-5pm), and wait for 30 minutes while the one counter person working helps other people trying to pick up their

15 minutes still sounds like a very long time to me, compared to fueling a gasoline vehicle (I rarely use the restroom, check Instagram, or buy a coffee, or do anything else when I do this). I'm typically back on the road in under 5 mi

Maybe it's what they know. Common advice for startups is to not get mired in language/framework debates: use what you already know.

"Balance" can mean "all things equal" but when talking about work-life balance I think it means that your work and non-work time combine to produce optimal satisfaction. For some people, if they derive a large amount of

> Google tries to send me on wild boondoggles literally all the time. It sends me off highway in an attempt to avoid traffic That's odd, that's my biggest complaint with Apple Maps, and I feel Google rarely does it.

Agreed. History is replete with examples. We might like to think we're more civilized and tolerant, that we've evolved morally since then. But we're still the same humans we've always been.

NeXT had already done the work to support M68K, Sun/SPARC, HP PA/RISC and IA-32 before Apple acquired them. They have been architecture-independent for quite some time.

The oxygen generators in an aircraft are only designed to provide emergency oxygen if cabin presurization is lost, until the pilots can descend to breathable atmosphere (under 10,000 ft). I.e. maybe 10 minutes or so. There will be no danger
