This was an output of a free (now defunct) service that used to accept transcripts and pump out these videos with TTS audio. It led to some hilarious results, usually within niche communities. Around ~2010 these things were everywhere.

Having just experienced a pair of these, it was incredible. I don't have extensive hearing loss beyond what being a teenager listening to music too loud will do for you, but the way these headphones relayed "normal" sounds w

People have literally run out of things to spend money on. What a time to be alive.

At the risk of sounding like a dimwit, because this is the edge of my mental abilities here - is the concept, then, that data _itself_ becomes a regulated asset? Such that no company, should they not desired to participate on your REIT-like

If only we could have reframed our approach to these situations. Provided what was sent/defaced/etc wasn't hate speech or punching down on someone else, we should have really used these events as flags for identifying kids wh

Me, every ten seconds: “… ah, right, Slack is down, no worries…” “… while I wait, I’ll send so-and-so a message” “… ah, right, Slack is down, no worries…” “… while I wait, I’ll send so-and-so a message”

Surely you're not making this statement in good faith because the same virus that gave you Chicken Pox can lay dormant in your body until it reactivates and causes Shingles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles

I actually quite like Jira and Confluence. They are the pure distillation of garbage in, garbage out, though.

I think the last couple of years have sown & grown the seeds of concern around some of these buzzy "valuations" for businesses that are years into their execution stage, burning more cash then they make, and still appear to ha

Marketplace is far more active in my area. It's not better, IMHO (the search is all but unusable) but there's more stuff to be had and items showing up in one place (often FB Marketplace) aren't always on the other (CL, offer

I lived in Albania for three years - it's not at the level of the other countries on this list. It's firmly a developing country - water, electricity and other infrastructure are not great in the capital and degrade precipitousl

Agreed - I've used virtually all the variants starting back with Powerbooks. I think the 2015 MBP Retina was the most durable, reliable machine I've personally used. My only complaint is non-upgradable RAM - if it had upgradable R

It's infuriating, because with the proper messaging, this is a bipartisan issue. Righ, left and everyone between have had identities stolen. Stolen identities cost businesses money - I'd wager millions, maybe billions collectively

Yes! I started with cast iron pans and used them with middling results. I switched over to carbon steel and I'm in love. They're everything I wanted my cast irons to be.

Oh, man, the good old days of Trillian. Yeah, you could be signed into multiple AIM accounts, MSN, ICQ, maybe others later on. It was a total game changer.

Shotspotter concerns me - the city I live in has paid millions for a system and recently expanded it. I am not aware of _any_ data that has been published from the system, even fuzzed data. That doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

They're giving it up because the other car manufacturers are galvanizing around another standard. What Tesla's got a big market share now, once GM, Buick, Ford, etc. all start pumping out plug-in electric vehicles, Tesla runs the

The decline of welcome "Check out this link" messages is at least partly because everyone is getting the same links from the same sources at any given moment. If you found it on a surface-level subreddit, a major Instagram account

I feel like once craft took a more dominate position, basically everything was 6%+ ABV and anything IPA was 7% or more, sometimes up near 9%. That's, IMHO, too much. For a lot of health and wellness reasons mentioned throughout, I much

Current-day Door County, Wisconsin has existed since well before this map begins, but shows as Lake Michigan. So, there's that.

I won't argue with this being a difficult issue, but I also want to push back a little bit on this notion that forcing people into a situation is a totally net bad thing. As an adult, you have precious few opportunities to make lasting
