Also add "use the correct Arabic for your target audience". "Arabic" is not monolithic and using the wrong dialect can go over as well as using Scots on a web page intended for Jamaicans.

I would call myself a 99-percenter. I still believe in the restriction of credible violent threats, fraud, and pornography featuring real children.

Being able to just do anything you want was so incredible, though. For example, the Google Assistant DING is one of the most ear-splittingly obnoxious sounds I've ever heard and there's not a damn thing I can do about it besides

Either intelligent life is rare in the universe or there's something that happens to it that prevents it from what we envision as the future of our own species, i.e., colonizing and spreading among planets. Maybe 99.99% of species rui

Nobody seems to care, is the thing. Qualcomm is now deprecating APTX-LL in favor of APTX-Adaptive even though it's 50% laggier even under ideal circumstances.

No noise cancellation is better than bad noise cancellation. The ANC on every set of earbuds and headphones under $200 I've tried is just a blast of white noise that makes it feel like someone is ramming cotton balls into my ears with

Not to mention zero latency. Trying to have multiple people in a car play music/podcasts is a nightmare over bluetooth when you used to be able to just pass an aux cable around.

if you instantly play the music you were listening to right before the call by clicking the play button on your keyboard, your music will play at a lower audio quality I don't recall the names of the specific bluetooth profiles, but

My concern is for the other symptoms of covid that could compound. Taking your vaccinations and boosters will generally keep you out of the hospital, but what of the other consequences? Cardiomyopathy, damage to smell and taste, and cogniti

I feel like these have been translated in an over-technical way to deliberately make them seem more ridiculous. Is It can oxidize on my anus not really "it can rust on my ass"?

This phenomena also scales not only up to a room full of internationals but also down to within countries. For example, if you're American and have a stronger accent you'll typically use a more universal one at work, even if every

The bigger issue is there's like five entirely separate theses that he kind of tries to ramble through in a single article that should've been split up. Some of his points are excellent but some of them are silly and childish, the

It's a little silly to make such a big deal out of 54% of global forest area being in five countries when those five countries make up more than 35% of the earth's land area.

That's a great argument if it required a shuttle launch at 1.5 billion a pop. But modern rockets like Starship are a lot cheaper. Musk's $2 million number is probably horseshit but according to David Todd, the Seradata satellite m

it's moreso disappointing that SpaceX keeps getting injected into conversations about NASA's scientific work Why are you getting hung up on Starship being the current best choice for a return mission at Hubble's EOL? If I w

I can't figure out what your point is. I'm saying Hubble is such an incredible achievement and pillar of the spirit of space exploration it's worth spending the money to bring it home even if doing so doesn't generate an

With the retirement of the shuttle, Starship is the only vehicle in or near operation capable of bringing Hubble back to earth intact.

by Causality1 5y ago
The purpose of NASA is not only to explore but inspire. In light of that, I'd be fully supportive of using a Starship launch to bring Hubble home.

I like the feature additions but dislike that there's no visual division between the menu bar and the title bar you can click and drag to manipulate the window. Windows 10 and 11 often make me feel as if I have some disorder of the ner

"And is static analysis a non-negotiable requirement of life-critical code?" I started grinding my teeth to slivers. "Normally yes." I feel like this story is missing something. If static analysis is a non-negotiable r

To my knowledge an alcubierre effect requires negative energy. If someone's invented something that behaves like negative energy why isn't that the headline? Warp drive is cool but it's a second-order consequence of what woul

Oh he never stopped being a xenophobe, but he drew a line between his personal dislike and the idea that other races were inherently inferior. This is a good read: https://motifri.com/lovecraftcontext/ I like to think

Sometimes I feel bad for the people whose legacy was tainted by scientific racism, especially if they lived to see its end and changed their opinions accordingly. Lovecraft is an example of this.

There exist humans who are fifty IQ points smarter or dumber than other humans who also exist. Sure but they're not all in the same ethnic group. What if a populous group had the peak of their intellectual curve far down the range? I

Frankly I think we're quite lucky we're not a more diverse species. There's no biological reason a human subspecies couldn't have gotten isolated in a valley somewhere and ended up being fifty IQ points smarter or dumber

What you’re referring to as Mormon, is in fact, Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Everyone knows this. They're just not going to use an awkwardly-long term to refer to them. We don't refer to "member
