Isn't it ironic that the operating system called "Windows" offers one of the worst window management user experiences?

Amazon. Amazon Pay has been the worst offender and every purchase using Amazon Pay has leaked my Amazon email to third parties.

I believe Twitter is trying to be better though and it appears they do chip away at this. They have also been in a difficult situation between cancel culture and free speech absolutism. Determining the reasonable solution is hard when the e

Free Speech for individuals does not mean that we have an interest in allowing foreign and potentially hostile actors to run propaganda campaigns using the ad targeting machine we have built using social media. They can say what they want a

Not just that solar is the cheapest but nuclear is also the second most expensive option. I really don't understand this recent flood of pro-nuclear posts on HN. https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth

Given that mountains are a result of geological activity, this is for sure the worst place to store it. You'll have a better chance digging out a big hole in the desert - which the EU doesn't have.

That doesn't matter. If they want to export TO the US they are subject to US export laws. The US has a history of their economical and political power forcing companies that have no business with the US to do their bidding to stay in b

He means a Dyson swarm and we are not centuries away from achieving this. The economical sense is on a different paper. Having ASIC miners in space connecting to something like Starlink is entirely possible even though not cost effective.

3 months in advance is the legal limit, it's great. We also love our contract bindings for 2 years. Cunsumer friendliness here is heresy.

This sounds incredibly illegal. I can't imagine trading like this is wanted by legislators and even if Tether is currently backed 1:1 there is no way that legislators will allow this to keep happening eventually crashing the entire Tet

I am not a US citizien but I'd still like to thank you for taking time out of your day to explain. I wish politics would generally be more transparent about their intentions but I guess it wouldn't be politics then. It's alwa

Spotify became entirely unusable for me when I started using Bluetooth headphones on my computer. When I turn them off, Spotify goes into some weird attempt to play every single song in rapid succession as it has no Output device to play to

In an ideal world that'd mean we become architecture agnostic and solutions should work on any CPU entering the market while ARM has still not achieved majority support on desktop solutions. Sadly I am certain there will be an extremel

Amazon is truly the AliExpress of the west and they are running the quality down faster and faster. A dead giveaway is the fact that there are tons of rebrands of the same product whenever you look for something. If I want the China product

This is just demonstrably not true. Bluetooth Hands-Free mangles the sample rate to 16 / 24 kHz. See this video for a collection of pretty much all common devices from "this decade". https://www.youtube.com/wa

Especially if you consider the inherent issues with Bluetooth call quality. No matter how good their microphones in them are, they will mangle the audio back to the 90s. $549 seems entirely detached and I am baffled, even as an ANC enthusia

The entire system of affiliate links piss me off for the same reason I have to pay the same in cash as people using a creditcard. It has a taste of paying too much if the vendor can afford to give a fraction to the affiliate.

I am actually interested in your context. Usually the return on investment analysis favors features over performance especially in a B2B environment.

The key is that hardware has marketpreassure to become faster and faster. Software gets faster if there is market preassure (see gaming & financial). When the feature backlog is more important than performance that is obviously what is

Well there are three possibilities 1) Reduce Infections: You try to get infections down to zero. 2) Ignore Infections: Usually used for common cold. People even go to work with it. 3) Limit Infections: You dynamically scale meassures to sta

This is a very good point, but sadly in reality it seems these goals are purposely hidden or obscured for subjective gain or unpopluar ideological reasons. Initially the pandemic response was about "not overwhelming the hospitals"

You should be able to get the cost down significantly by caching on cloudflare. My company managed to deliver 99.9%+ from cloudflare for static pages and allowed us to serve large amounts of traffic from a small backend.
