(I had an email startup squished by Gmail.) Sites demanding corporate email addresses and/or major email providers kicks all other users out is inane, corporate tyranny.

My dad's car had velour interior. Anytime the humidity was below 50%, expect the car to zap you and to be zapped touching door handles. I assume there are/were numerous gas station fuel fires from cars with velour upholstery.

In the nonobvious interactions with tech department, when I was a kid, I discovered that jingling keys would change the channel on my grandparents' TV that used an ultrasonic remote.

This is true. The missing step is productizing for commercially-useful problems. Start with a goofy app that accurately discerns what ugly sweaters you would wear to semi-automated product recommendation engines.

Wasteful and the wrong place to do it. Also, Sidekiq is slow, old, and commercial crippleware. Generate and send SQL (wrapped in transactions) from C bindings via a proper background job processor like beanstalkd in batches of say 50k. Gett

Seems like a mischaracterization because I don't see a problem. UC CS undergrads had to take statistics for engineers and scientists. UC CS undergrad majors in particular could end within 2 courses from a math undergrad degree. Is this

Stanford did too (the van kind) to squeeze between bollards. They were able to avoid CAFE and CARB standards because they're their own municipality, and technically they're not licensed for public street use.

To be fair, the 737 NG fiasco that preceded it isn't well known and it's unknowable how many excess deaths it caused or will cause because there are planes flying around with substandard structural components. https://c

It is. They're just difficult because their wingspan is too damn big to fit in most airports. If they had retractable folding legs like us sardine passengers in economy class, they'd fit like a champ.

Exactly. It's immoral to bet the lives of people that governments of the future will always be sane or benevolent. History has shown democratically-elected populist autocrats can go in dark directions. Make it as difficult as possible

It doesn't take wealth to be vegetarian. It takes eyeballs and a brain to realize it's suicidal and omnicidal in the way of vulture capitalism to continue to eating meat. (No pun intended.)

Don't eat meat again. It's wasteful and has a high carbon footprint regardless of rationalization method. Meat agriculture leads to: - climate change - food price inflation - pandemics - antibiotic resistance - vulnerable workforc
