You'll see me stop. It takes 1 second more to come to a complete stop. Just do it. You sound like the kind of person to not signal when you change lanes because you think there's plenty of room.

Are you saying that Tesla shouldn't claim to have a "Full Self Driving" feature if it's still not autonomous? Because they do. "Will the FSD computer make my car fully autonomous? Not yet. All Tesla cars require act

I ignore all recruiters for a few reasons: 1. It's not like they give up. I've been receiving the same emails from the same firms for years and years. 2. You can't just respond. The few times I've responded years ago mea

So no pop culture references at all? Jeez that sounds like an extremely boring crossword.

I'm actually not sure if you're serious or not, but yes there are brand names in NYT crossword puzzles. No, they don't get paid for it. OREO is a famous one because it's a short vowel heavy word, and can more easily fi

I spend more time on the daily Wordle than the daily NYT mini crossword. NYT mini crossword is often a 30-40 second game. And my comment was totally anecdotal. Everyone that I know that does the NYT crosswords also does Wordle.

It's addictive but it's also impossible to burn out since it's just one per day. If it was unlimited I would have likely gotten bored of it day 2.

It's probably a similar user base to the daily NYT mini crossword. I can imagine it having a similar pay structure too -- free daily, paid archive.

OREOS will be the answer once a week.

Meh. It's not like there are immediate action items if they just call it and say "there was life on Mars". Might as well take their time and be as sure as they can.

This is basically just an anti-masker talking point that's akin to school-yard taunting. It's not based in reality.

If Covid restrictions were as easy and inconsequential as seatbelts, I wouldn't have an issue doing it indefinitely. But they're not even close.

When people are talking about unknown long-term effects in this context, they typically mean effects that appear much later. As in, stuff that wouldn't be caught in studies and our current vaccination efforts. Long-lasting but quickly

A lot of people seem confused why a lot of tech people aren't pushing for unions. For me it's simple: Tech has brought me from near poverty to pretty darn wealthy. Why mess with that? Could a union help increase wages even more? M

I'd guess that if you took a group of people on some of the the lowest totem poles at Apple and had them replace the entire C-Suite, Apple's output would certainly crater. Probably to bankruptcy (though it might take a while, Appl
