How about listening to a message in portrait, accidentally moving your phone to landscape, and then having the playback stop and lose position in the audio stream. Or how about losing voice recordings constantly? Seriously? I'm baff

I live in Florida. Recently a major insurance company, Gulfstream Property and Casualty Insurance Co., has gone insolvent and liquidated. I'm pretty sure the reason is all the free roof replacements that they were handing out to peop

Maybe they were confusing it with DCOM (distributed COM) which was often talked about around that time.

Would have liked to see these numbers adjusted for cost of living. Making $145,000 in silicon valley is not anywhere comparable to making $145,000 in Podunk Florida, and thus I'm not sure what value to derive from this data, with resp

And many of us switched to Signal due to bad-faith money-grubbing behavior of a certain other company. There was an illusion of free, safe, "by the people for the people" and by implication, commercial interest and profit wasn&#x

Why am I seeing payment integration while I still lose my place in an audio playback when I switch from landscape to portrait? Or the fact that I still can't tell whether I've listened to a message yet or not? Still losing messa

IIRC, that was the exact argument for disabling image loading when it was first introduced. The responsible thing for services like gmail and o365 to do would be to eat the resource costs and just open ALL external content within a privacy

Isn't it amazing how we're suddenly being educated on this special case in American history. Trump and his goons want to use this as precedent to pull, essentially a coup. Precedent that goes right back to a time when racist sla

You're describing a mild trip. More can take you into other worlds where your brain can make you believe you're in tune with the universe, or black out and scare yourself because you can't remember how or why you got where y

None of that sounds like microdosing to me.

Thank you for putting this together. Independent data sources are vital, since we know this administration does everything they can to hide reality.

And how about performance impact? The mitigation's that have been done in software recently came with an ugly performance cost (just not as ugly as the vulnerability). Is there any speculation about what this is going to cost?

I remember when Schwab went down just as Facebook went public. Couldn't cancel my order, ended up with the stock at a much higher price and the stock had dropped by a lot by the time I had access again. I can't help but be suspi

Isn't this pretty much accounted for by doctors at this point? Isn't it well know that there's a good chance that an elderly patient will die during or soon after significant surgery? For instance, there's a good chance

I stopped reading when the article turned toward a history of the guy Aronson. I said to myself "Oh hell no, I'm not wasting my time reading about this guy I don't care about", I looked at the scroll bar and nope'd

That is a heroically long article of which all I don't really have time to read, unfortunately. But it seems to me that these companies have an ethical responsibility to ensure that this important art is not lost forever, even if they

With something this important, I'd expect something more substantial than the equivalent of "I stayed on this diet for a year and it worked! I shrunk by 1/3rd!"

How about something a little bit more than "it worked" and "business tripled". An analysis of contributing factors, maybe. There's so much bullshit in the media with people claiming things that are half-truths, or

I think it's great that this company did this, but this article is a puff piece. There's no real data here. He just states that the `business tripled`. What does that actually mean? Did it triple in revenue? How did increasin

Color me surprised... surely not another crypto heist. This is going to keep happening, over and over again. Put your money in this stuff at your own peril.

I am legitimately intrigued by this analysis. I've always wondered why I found certain rap so much better than others. I stopped liking the kind of rap that was becoming popular around the time of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tupac, etc. Lo

I was wondering the same thing. Casual is missing, I didn't catch that Del was in the list, not surprised he's up there. Aceyalone was another one I wonder about.

Please elaborate on why SendGrid was a significant mistake for you. We are looking at moving to them from Mandrill, since their stability has been terrible for us.

You are not kidding. We have had numerous issues with them lately. Their servers go down. API endpoints that are supposed to return json return cloudflare gateway error HTML instead... We are investigating moving to SendGrid right now.

What if there is evidence that they, in fact, did this? Everyone should be very concerned about this, whether the outcome played in favor of or damaged your particular party's side. This would be an attack on our democracy from a fore

Given that solar auction minimum bids have dropped 470% in the last 4 years (in Mexico, https://earther.com/mexico-just-auctioned-off-the-cheapest-s... ), isn't it crazy to accept a 25 year flat rate contract?

I actually found this to be worth the time. I haven't paid much attention to the situation down there, and seeing it was enlightening. Onto the content... I wonder, can someone tell me why there are so many obese people in these video

Hey, it's great that you're trying to find a place for yourself in the world. Unfortunately, you seem to have a malfunctioning moral compass, and you give off a sociopath space-cadet vibe. Making money exploiting in video games
