Three main reason e-scooters and even bicycles take to the sidewalks, is that they are totally unsafe sharing the road with the cars, and that there's a lack of bicycle lanes. Once again, the absolute worst offender when it comes to sa

It absolutely doesn't do things "just as well". I bought an Ender 3 quite cheaply (less than €150). I've spent countless hours, fiddling, upgrading, repairing obvious small flaws until it printed really well. Granted, I

"One person wrote that their new car had a mile limit of 16,000 a year; they leased it considering a lack of commute." It seems to me that the amount of pampering expected by these employees is going a bit too far. It's a job

That would imply that suicides would at least stay the same, or, most probably, decrease due to earlier phycological support.

I'm substantially more worried about returning to a society with openly enforced taboos. I thought we had left that in the past century, but I was clearly too optimistic.

The all story is a scary tale about the state's intromission on people's lives. But this part is a constant reminder of how misandric present society is: "...the officers proceeded to charge Rivers' husband with risk of

I wouldn't say years, but it took quite a few weeks, maybe even months: The idea that the expansion universe is akin to the surface of a balloon expanding (albeit in 4D). I don't know why. It is so absurdly simple in my mind now.

Also in my language. The adjective both for identifying the sex and the gender of someone, is the same.

by wtcactus 4y ago
This article is saying that the differences are sexual, not due to gender.
521.
by wtcactus 4y ago
Well, but what this article is stating, is that those differences you pointed out being connected to gender, are actually due to the sex of the individual, not due to the gender an individual chooses to identify with.

Your assumption is that the state will apply that money optimally (or at least more optimally than the super rich - also, notice you didn’t define what super rich are). Looking at historical and present data, I can be absolutely sure that t

I agree with part of what you are saying on the subject of bloat, but looking at what has happened in the recent past, I think it's naive to believe this is not going to be implemented. It will, like banning "master" reposito

I use both and in my experience Gamestream is much more stable than Steam Link. With Steam Link I keep having to change the capture method for Steam and the screen mode for the game (borderless/full screen) for different games, or the

I think the point is that -2C is not twice as cold as -1C, that would imply that -1C was infinitely more cold than 0C. An analogy is the same as seen with percentages. It's wrong to say, for instance, that 2% growth, it's double o

I would also like to give a shoot out for Eternal Terminal: https://eternalterminal.dev/ It's a similar project that keeps SSH connections alike. Unlike Mosh, it doesn't reduce remote lag, but on the plus side, it

I don't see any real issue with Twitter allowing for this. We could pose the question of "what if we can't trust any information any more?". But I don't think that's really the case. People are free to follow a

Well, PayPal did say, several times, it was just an internal error and that they, absolutely, weren't going to implement that measure. [1] Some people were also reporting, that when closing their account, a message stating the measure

I think I'm getting old, but I can't for the life of me get excited about this 450W behemoth. For me, there's absolutely no game that needs this kind of performance, I can just go to settings, lower them slightly, and run it

Does this differ from previously posted solutions that needed to pre-allocate a chunk of RAM to the Linux VM? This is indeed cool, but RAM on Apple Silicon is relatively low (with only 8Gb in some models) if I allocate more than 2Gb to a VM

I strongly disagree. Meme is a term coined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene, defining the idea of unit of cultural knowledge. Basically, it's the smallest unit of cultural information. In the same sense as Gene it's

"Only consolation is that, a lot of colleagues are also being managed out." Maybe it's a cultural thing, but this piece of schadenfreude you openly write, strikes me as really alarming. I wouldn't want to work or hire so
