   How big are the tablets? For me only the 13” iPad works because it’s my only option for full size. But my eyesight is defective.

   Yup the question is poorly phrased. Not useful.

   Of course it’s not over. Anything that connects to the web is constantly experiencing a dizzying array of tax and companies like cloudflare aren’t perfect. People tend to request new features every year. Technical support is hideously expen

   We would never have had the glass pyramid in front of the Louvres or the Eiffel Tower with this mentality. I love Paris and Parisians (especially Parisiennes ;). I hate the pyramid.

   Thanks for the treatise. Love the research and I agree with your very close reasoning. In my defense, I attributed it to the dealer instead of stating it as undisputed fact because it has always sounded a little funky to me. On the other ha

   She had no choice. She and many of her peers were sent here to work. At least half of them, wife included, defected. I left home young because I would have killed myself otherwise.

   A bit related: In the early aughts we bought a Porsche 911, which had a ridiculously tiny back seat. According to the dealer, it existed because two-seaters were considered sports cars and were therefore costlier to ensure. Worked out perfe

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by YouTubeisms. I assume you mean the breezy, polished presentation? I thought it was a well laid out and enjoyable video. To me, it was an example of superb craftsmanship. I am totally not criticizing or in

    Not exaggerating when I say your math teacher is one of the most enlightened I ever heard of. Fantastic story.

    Neither the Internet nor the Web were designed for anonymity. And I cannot name an organization I would trust to tell me the truth if doing so will jeopardize its funding.

    My wife grew up in the Cultural Revolution. I grew up in an unsafe and disordered environment. When I made peak money we spent a lot on awesome experiences, then saved a good chunk. Instead of making payments on a house in the kind of encla

    I have a couple of handicapped kids and definitely vouch for #1. When the first one was born, my wife agonized about whether we should spoil that child because of the handicap. My answer was resounding no. We would simply deal with it, and

    Sincere question. This was created with US government funding. Is there any reason to believe it is safe?

    Biden continued Trump tariffs and raised many of them, appropriately. https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/trump-tariffs...

    They don’t. I was unclear. What I meant to say was that our tightening of sanctions against China has harmed their economy greatly. It is an act of economic war against their acts of economic war.

    You are completely correct. But the chips have immense strategic value. Not being able to manufacture them would be catastrophic in the event that China cut us off.

    A strategic triumph for both the current and previous administrations. Both Trump and Biden handled the situation adroitly. These may not be the absolute bleeding edge tech but it’s a proof of concept that we can wean ourselves from Chinese

    Update: you are correct, the water-resistant bone conduction set works like a charm. And they won’t fall off. I’d say your solution is conservatively .5% what I would have paid for the less satisfying parametric array.

    Ok that was poignant and beautiful and made me cry. It somewhat echoes the recent premature deaths of two of our chickens. Unfortunately and illogically, I was overwhelmed with emotion when they died.
