What store bought mustard contains sugar? I'm not aware of any, and if there are, they aren't common. Also a little bit of sugar in mayonnaise is fine - in the US it usually relatively trace amounts to the most commonly sold ones

I started writing an explanation of how you're mistaken, and then I realised just how quickly you went from Apple using a very common method for identifying CSAM (which Facebook already uses, yet I've not really heard much in the

I think you could work on your empathy for the candidate. Sometimes the internet drops out for a minute and then comes back. Maybe that happens once a week. Is it worth going to a co-working space (during a pandemic) so there isn't a t

I am baffled at the shopping culture in Australia and how happy most people seem to be with it.

"Overnight". Swastikas and salutes become appropriated by the Nazis, and suddenly the pledge of allegiance in America became a hand over heart, instead of the Bellamy salute. Do you think that was wrong too?

PNC refused to abide by my opt-out preference for pre-screened offers of credit. Multiple complaints to multiple people in the company didn't achieve anything. It wasn't until the CFPB stepped in, that they pledged to have fixed t

It's not a legal requirement for them (AFAIK) to make decisions on allowing someone to register a domain or not. They're a private business, so my argument is it's (probably) in their best interest to not upset their custome

Hi Ted - can you speak to Namecheap's stance on bulk spam domain registrations and the fact that Namecheap does nothing to stop it? There has been (at least in the Bay Area) a large increase in text spam. They all have a very similar f

You've twice mentioned a "fake cable" - what are you referring to?

Since there's no frame of reference outside the universe, you can't make that analogy. I think you're getting tripped up on a variation of this idea, e.g. moving a laser pointer across the moon's surface faster than ligh

I abandoned my very short @yahoo.com address in the late 90s due to this. Maybe 1 out of 200 emails I received were actually for me.

When ingested. It's a topical medication, it's ridiculous they put it in a tablet. Get the phenylephrine in a spray and it works like magic.

Do you have a citation for this? It's been 42-44 minutes of content for at least the last 20 years in my experience.

I bought some as part of the Stranger Things promotion, so assuming it actually does match the original recipe, it was pretty good. I did blind taste tests with the rest of the family and everyone picked New Coke as their preferred flavour.

Every single time there's a thread about a company like Airbnb, there is a comment like yours. I am genuinely curious why you are so surprised that a company of their size would be that big? Particularly with a high touch business that

This is spot on. I emailed officials in my city and county with this suggestion earlier this weekend and received some mild interest. From my research into the situation they do have stock and the current bottleneck is shipping, but stock i

Influenza A started as the Spanish Flu. It likely won't go away - instead either vaccination will control it to much smaller levels, but more likely a less virulent form will evolve and join the other 4 common coronaviruses as another

Mitigation is not a binary thing. If a temperature sensor is somewhat inaccurate, but can still identify outliers (even with false positives, or even false negatives), there's value to it.

Yeah, it's disingenuous the way the media saying handwashing is the only important thing. Studies have shown surgical masks are actually pretty much just as good at mitigating virus spread (reduced virus exposure helps, even if you don

In this instance the infected person was the airport worker. So wouldn't that help limit transmission? And you also agree already that it reduces hand to face contact, further helping limit transmission. Also, it's not as clear-cu

Are they wearing masks at the airports yet? I am still surprised at the lack of deployment of temperature sensors and masks in the US.

I disagree that they aren't useful. You could make similar arguments on any kind of home medical diagnostics, but any additional information seems better to me. 1. There is evidence that a still normal, but lower-than-expected SPO2 can

Two bits of advice: 1. I checked out all the cheap ones, and Zacurate was the only brand I could find that was under $50 and had actually been properly tested for accuracy. 2. If you buy one from Amazon ("ships from and sold by Amazon.
