A reading of Ozymandias would say he has secured the legacy.. Even though nothing remains of his kingdom, that statue still stands and boldly proclaims to the world that Ozymandis lived and conquered.

If you open youtube.com in a private window, it does not auto-login as expected. Maybe, I am misunderstanding your question?

If I read the agreement correctly (and if Matt Levine has read it correctly too :) ), you cannot just walk away and pay the $1B. There were specific reasons tied to walking way and the primary one was not being able to secure the funds. Tha

I do not think that is true. How do you stay signed into google even though you restart a browser? There is a cookie that is stored and it authenticates you. When you first go to yt.com, it can ask google to authenticate you.. Call a url at

Interesting question.. I believe it is down only in the US according to the original-original article. Other countries still solve the crimes at a very high rate. Second, in US, the ballistics records are not searchable. Federal government

I am guessing, for a lot of people, this is their social forum and I see nothing wrong in asking for help/suggestions in an ASK HN topic. After all, that is why ASK HN exists. [Edited for grammer]

As an EM, why do you have under-performing engineers on your team in the first place? Either your hiring bar is low, you are not giving enough feedback to improve or you are afraid to cut your losses. None of this needs you to wait for an o

I did read the article and interestingly, I learnt we do not know a lot about phase transitions. Even more interesting, why would hot and cold water reach 0'c almost at the same time (according to one of the experiments)? If the rate o

Did you actually do an experiment? This seems simple enough to run a quick experiment and see which one works better. You had all the knowledge needed to solve the problem, you just chose the wrong approach :)

Should everything be driven down to partisan politics? There are tons of reasons why Walmart would not want its employees to be judge and jury in identifying fraud and some of the others would have felt that is the right approach.

Few folks have mentioned it, but you should really plan considering your age and needs for next few years. You did not mention your family situation either. Are you planning it alone or with a partner and kids? Kids, as usual, complicate th

Really?? I thought US is supplying most of the weapons and logistics for Saudi Arabia to fight in Yemen while Russia is supporting Iran which supports the Houthis. In the end, both sides are bombing the hell out of that country which has no

The former.. Sometimes, the focus goes to background and I use the MF to bring it to the front and switch to AF.. I am curious about why the later is incorrect? If I focus on a bird and the AF decides that the branch next to it is the subje

Katelyn Jetelina, at your local epidemiologist did a great job of explaining it a few days before[0]. This is Simpson's paradox in action and is an interesting read. [0]: https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p&#

I did not read it as anyone singling out US. I read it as a statement that any country having absolute power would not be good for the world and act without impunity. BTW, on NATO, the only country that has invoked article 5 (for mutual pro

It is the other way, IMHO. As an amateur, my photos are not pixel perfect. I depend a lot of Topaz to sharpen the image and remove noise. My LR is mostly around adjusting the basic parameters which I can do in Darktable/RawTherapee. Ho
