I remember there was an Italian father getting arrested for beating his child in public while on vacation in Sweden a few years ago. Corporal punishment doesn't seem illegal in Italy, or in quite a few other western countries as well f

I'm not sure this particular presentation helps your point though? I sifted through it and if anything I was struck with how simple it seemed? I'm sure there's more to running Netflix though and in my mind they're allowe

What about his bet on MegaTextures?

As someone who has spent quite a bit of time documenting the internal workings (i.e. design) of various software and systems and much less so user interfaces (ain't nobody got time for that), it is interesting to note that the opposite

I was the same until recently. Nowadays I don't see a good reason for not using a credit card over a debit card. My bank charges me like $2 a month for a Visa. My Mastercard is free and has a tiny cashback. It's not gonna make me

God, the web really peaked around 2004 or so didn't.

Despite having read this comment prior to clicking the article I have to admit that it took a while before I noticed that the ones with reflections were off.

Touchscreens are potentially very useful in a fighter (maps, general SA, designation etc), but not for everything and not in every situation. But just because you get a touchscreen doesn't mean you have to forfeit frame buttons with on

Sounds like the car equivalent of HOTAS.

No. Pressing a button will give you the functionality you want 100% of the time. A voice command won't.

I wasn't sure what a combination square was so I checked Wikipedia and they only had entries in English, Dutch and Spanish, so I assumed they were some kind of special case of right angle not very popular over here.

I have no idea. Are combination squares popular outside of the US? :)

I live in Europe and most Makita gear I have is Made in Europe (e.g. Czech Republic). I do have an impact driver that is Made in Japan, but I had to order that from Japan.

Kind of agree. I can't say I ever associated "Made in USA" with quality, and especially not with the combination of quality and elegance I associate with other countries. That being said, I would assume most people are biased

Glad to learn we're gonna see this top tier talent hit the market in the coming future. Having perfected ad slinging web tech who knows what they'll solve next. Climate change, interstellar travel, or the cure for cancer? Bright f

Yeah, I feel like these would work better as icons rather than logos.

I've set my phone so I only receive calls and some texts from people who are close during most of the day. Between 9 and 10 pm I allow the rest, resulting in all notifications received during the day showing up at 9 pm sharp. This make

I've always thought of Wall Street and what goes on there to be our substitute for war.

I read Infinite Jest a few years ago but thought that Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents was just an absurdity...

Aside for the obvious potential tragedy, it would be kind of interesting to see how the Eifel tower collapsing (or any building of similar status) would effect the public image (both internal and external).

I dipped my toes into IPv6 a while back and found it pretty... disappointing? My prior understanding was that IPv6 would enable us all to get static IPs (due to there being more than enough for everyone), but it seems that turned out to be

I kind of agree. I love watching SerenityOS evolve and the momentum the project has, but I'm not sure inventing another language is the best way forward. I think the blog post could have been a bit more in-depth. All that being said, I

I spent a summer or so playing Eve maybe 10 years ago. I eventually joined EVE University to get a taste of the social aspects. One of my most cherished gaming related memories is still going with them into nullsec space for the first time

Meh, compared to something like Tokyo NYC is a shitshow.

An SKX isn't gonna outlive you and once it fails they'll just replace the entire movement anyway. Mechanical watches are still indeed cool though. :)

Meh, the "containment board" model used by 4chan and some other "freedom of speech" oriented forums work surprisingly well.

Air-gapped doesn't necessarily imply that it's impossible to get data out via e.g. physical media (printing, memory stick...).

Great work by everyone involved. SerenityOS is for me by far the most interesting project in tech right now. It's like watching a different branch of reality evolving. The recent browser optimization videos by Andreas himself have been
