Didn't the original Windows 1 put all of the windows in tiles? Here's an image from a history: https://money.cnn.com/gallery/technology/2015/06/22/history-...

I'm a totally moderate extreme left winger, but I think this is a big mistake. Science has always been about logic and experimental proof, not political gamesmanship. Yeah, I know politics is part of everything, but I think this hurts

Several of my friends who died in COVID heart attacks were super fit and very careful with eating. One was a pretty militant vegan. Yet they died in their 40s and 50s.

I know we're supposed to be shaking our fist at these stupid AIs, but why should Morgan be mentioned? Did she score any goals? Did she get much playing time? I didn't watch the game myself, but it's entirely possible she did

They were apparently influenced by the WOPR from "War Games." Danny Hillis wanted to sell into the Pentagon.

> Twenty years ago the debate surrounding open science focused on access to journals. By 2020 around 25% of all chemistry papers published were open access, and now most of the major publishers of chemistry journals offer some version of

I'm very happy about this decision about CDL and I'm glad that the IA got smacked for being so obnoxious and anti-artist. But I'm also willing to turn a blind eye to the archive and the way back machine because they're u

If it's a ten unit building, how can it be anything but corporate ownership? I suppose we could pretend that all ten of the residents could create a co-op and that would be more like a single-family, owner-occupied home. But really, th

Not so much any more. Lots of layoffs.

I think you're foolish if you think that stock price "has nothing to do with the quality of the food." Repeat customers are a big part of the profitability for any business and they're a big part of the success of Chipot

When you put it that way, I makes it harder to hate the C-suite. But I'm conditioned by all of the haters on social media to think that socialism will some how fix all of this.

If labor costs keep going up, it seems like the right path for the industry is to simplify installation more so it becomes more DIY. More plug-and-play. Less skilled carpenters and electricians.

Can any explain succinctly where the $40m/yr comes from? Is it in the 990s?

I can't speak for the original commenter, but it's been widely noted that the university system isn't a very exciting or innovative place to be. Between the strict dogma and the high costs, many are moving on. Google, for ins

The publishers are probably embarrassed that they turned down the book because of their pro-Stalinist vision. Holodomor? What Holodomor?

You don't need to convince me. Convince all of the authors out there. They have the power to send their work wherever they want. Really. They do. The fact that they continue to choose the publishers after all of these years suggests to

They have complete control -- until they cut a deal. They don't have to work with Elsevier if they don't want to do so.

So you're confirming that somehow the best publishers somehow manage to provide something of value. The people judging your career are the ones you're complaining about and somehow they're choosing to respect a few publishers

Editing, typesetting and curating are expensive. Yes, authors can do this and they contribute quite a bit, but it's not enough to support the high quality documents produced by Elsevier. Yes, tex-savvy authors can do a pretty good job

And in 30-50 years, people will rediscover the power of photocatalyzed reactions in the skin and portray modern folks as foolish, out-of-touch Edwardian prisses who tried to represses the immune system of the young with shade cloth. It&#x27

Just because the tax money is given to a government doesn't mean it's being invested in productive activities.

They have to treat them any way because of Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. So it's all about tax revenue to defer this cost.

Actually, it's mixed. The states now get such a huge chunk of tobacco money that they're incentivized to keep people smoking. The more they smoke, the more the state gets.

It's in a different part of the world. That's what the headline claimed. It claimed it would be lost to the world. And you're wrong that it's as "good as gone." It's not. It's just to be spent by some

by xhkkffbf 2y ago
No. I'm just quibbling with the headline which implies that the money is gone. It isn't.

by xhkkffbf 2y ago
To be fair, the headline should read, "Tax receivers will get $4.7t less over the next decade and tax payers will get to keep that money." It's not like the money will be lost. It will just remain in the hands of the original

Has anyone used the 3rd amendment to argue against the government forcing them to include backdoors and surveillance mechanisms?
568.
by xhkkffbf 2y ago
Due process? I don't think they bothered with that in the past. Many of the debates about privacy that erupted in the 70s and 80s came because people discovered that the government didn't even bother.

Certainly when I look at convection currents in the ocean or the atmosphere, I see plenty of variation. Shoot, the earth's atmosphere constantly produces moving blobs of relatively high and low pressure.

How crisp are the estimates of cost? I can see how they might depend heavily upon the dataset, especially when the algorithms are supralinear like O(n^2) or O(n^3).
