In the future, when you're old and quite possibly disabled, you might rethink the whole "walkable cities" thing. I mean, it's easy to say "just walk (or ride a bike)" when you're 22 years old and in prime

Putting an item up for sale to the highest bidder insulates a seller from future claims that the item was sold for a low-ball price in some kind of sweetheart/kickback deal.

Woz is a technical genius, no doubt about it. But Jobs is who made the boxes something that non-nerds wanted to have in their homes. There were dozens of computer companies at the time, some (not many, but some) of which had Woz-level engin

Definitely location dependent. I estimate mine is about 50% USPS, 25% UPS, and 25% Amazon's own delivery service. The proportion that's Amazon-delivered has been increasing noticeably over the past year or two.

Yep, came here to say this. I don't use it often, but it's pretty handy from time to time (e.g. checking to see if an important package requiring a signature is coming that day, so I can be home or arrange for someone else to be t

Thanks for giving the OP some firsthand advice that answers his question and might actually work, rather than chiding him with some variant of "You shouldn't have trusted YouTube in first place ('you big dummy', implied)

Well, it depends on what you consider challenging: Most work in terms of hours spent: compilers (you had to write one from scratch) Hardest due to inherent difficulty of the material: theory of computation. Turing Machines and the Halting P

IMO, the FDA's authority should be limited to making sure that the snake oil does indeed contain genuine oil from genuine snakes. They could put a label on it to the effect of "We don't think this stuff works, and it might ev

I personally think FOSS software is a fine thing, while not being overly fond of the GPL. If you allegedly "give" me something for "free", but still assert the right to tell me what I can do with it afterward, it's

How is it "not remotely the same"? In both cases the child is in the car and the door cannot be opened. In my city, the fire department solves the problem by bashing out a window, just as in this case. I know this because that&#x2

Firearms grant their owners the right to say "No". Tyrants hate that. Before firearms the world was mostly ruled by "nobles" (i.e., those who had extorted enough from the peasants to afford weapons and armor, and had the

You can make firearms in your garage, and there's nothing at all pedantic about that fact.

Elsevier is run by human scum, and always has been as far back as my personal experience goes.

This has been going on for a long time. It's probably actually easier to catch nowadays than it was when journals were only in print.

Indeed. I had a professor in undergrad named Kanapathipillai Thirugnanasambanthan. He might've been from Sri Lanka rather than India proper, though. He went by "Sam Thiru". When I first began I asked a friend if he knew anyth
