Yeah very creepy, I'm afraid it'll be normalised in a few years, together with the cameras in our glasses. I always knew this was coming eventually, with storage and compute getting so cheap, eventually every record can and then w

This is correct, it's monetisation, not commissioning. Facebook isn't paying to produce. It's paying for driving views and clicks on ads, regardless of how. It's like if I hire a taxi driver to come to my house and dri

Japan beats Dutch train frequencies, hence it's not unbeatable. And if you include metro rail there are plenty of more frequent rail systems including again Japan but also China, France, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea.

Yes it's a long standing meme, mostly on reddit.

Wasn't my experience, frequencies are fine but I don't think it's unbeatable at all. The default simulation is 50x speed by the way, perhaps that gave you the impression.

> Does the radiant heat not increase the room temperature, thus affecting the indoor temp sensor? C Yes but the temperature of the air in your home is only one part of it. The other part is the temperature of the radiant heat. I always u

You have no clue about the armies of people online who think hydroponic home farms will be a serious and significant source of food then.

I think you missed the part where I said I built the same system and enjoyed it and learned a lot from it.

I love the idea of hydro/aquaponics and built a system as a student more than a decade ago. It’s a fun project. But as a form of agriculture it’s a spectacularly bad idea at home. This setup is about 1 square meter of NYC space, that’s

Could you also add your thoughts on whether you think a B1 level is a sensible requirement for permanent residence in any country? Because that's what the post seems to boil down to, but you haven't opined on it (other than refusi

There's some people that say having no airconditioning, no dishwasher, no elevator, no computer, no smartphone isn't as bad as it sounds. And they're completely right, for them. And completely wrong, for others. I'll nev

Exactly this, he should've just fixed this, or not written an article about it. After the 'sensorium effect' (he should've used ancient greek for a +10 bonus to archaic intellectual points), he describes the 'knowle

Quite annoying to have to read a paragraph of text next to a moving image. I right-clicked every GIF and turned off 'loop'. Beyond that reading an AI piece just feels like a waste of time. The text goes on and on without making a

I thought it was quite the opposite, too easy. Your ship recharges health. Also you can claim and island and heal there. It's so easy to the point it's actually boring, I got 10 kills before I quit, never got close to dying. Hell

These aren't comparable situations. For one it's a peace-time situation where strong-arming interventions are met with consequences, in this case China can stop supply of critical products to punish the Dutch. In a wartime situati

'breaking records' implies a lot more than it is. The amount of breaths anyone takes in their life also continues to break their own personal record, but it's not as impressive as it sounds. Output today is 2x what it was 10

It's obviously both in different circumstances. I've had plenty of raises while the rest of my team didn't, and when I stopped doing what I was doing, I joined them.

PHEVs are typically discouraged in many countries nowadays, because drivers fall into one of two categories: A) plug-in to charge on a (virtually) daily basis at home B) plug-in to charge as necessary, some of whom have no home-charging (ap

I think at the upper range, and for Teslas, this is true. But for the rest, not quite yet. Suppose you buy an entry-level Renault 5, the WLTP range is 310km. In mild conditions you typically get 85-90% of that, enough for the majority of pe

It's more like the recent events trigger people's awareness and learning about multi-year trends that are happening regardless of recent events. EVs are a good deal in much of the world. They're more quiet, lower maintenance

I didn't say work hard. But if you keep contributing what you already contributed previously and nothing changes, your salary likely also doesn't change. Changing that doesn't necessarily require working hard, I haven't

I was at my previous company for almost 10 years, I had annual promotions and I roughly 4x'd my annual income in this period, which averages to about 15% of year-on-year pay increases. Part inflation, part growth in skills. Virtually a

For me it's as much culture as it is work. In fact I live in the capital city of my country, even though my work has not always been here. I live here because it has world class restaurants, bars, museums, architecture, parks, gyms, a

Uff Blue Burst, fantastic online game, it's one of those blasts of sheer nostalgia that is almost unbearable, I'd give everything to go back. It's partly the game, and partly my life around the time I was playing the game, a
