I often wish vehicles were equipped with a regular horn and a "polite" horn. As in "don't mean to be a bother, but the light is green now. Whenever you're done checking your phone is fine."

Man, I wish we didn't have so much plastic, but I do what I can, and that includes never microwaving anything in plastic. If it's a microwave dinner (generally the ones I like are in paper trays) I pop it onto a plate and cover it

Must be in office. Must work at least 40 hours per week. Eliminated days of rest. As if twitter's problems are caused by "employees not working enough".

I dunno how else to put it. Having EVERYTHING on AWS is a national security threat. This isn't good, and someone who can do something about it needs to.

Is the light bending around some gravitational point, or is that an* artifact of the telescope itself? If the former, that is astounding. Edit: nvm I think I figured it out myself. There are objects next to smeared galaxies that are not dis

WHAT. The like / dislike ratio is EXTREMELY useful. I'm very disappointed that they would do this. I expect it will be much harder to avoid useless content with this removed.

It took me a long time but I finally got over the never-ending desire for ever sharper lenses. 50mm is a general purpose lens. Not like macro or super-telephoto. Sharp enough to get the gist of the image without being distractingly blurry i

Can you image if the hull did weaken to the point of near failure? They might have needed to offload everything right there where it ran aground, lest it completely fail uncontrolled. The canal would be closed for a very long time. Luckily

As a former Nikon user, that writing has been on the wall for a long time now. At lease 3 years when they first reported "catastrophic losses" They didn't have enough diversity to weather the rise of the smartphone, whereas C

Developers casually looking at source code vs nation states paying teams of hackers to find exploits. With the goal not being to steal money, but to steal a government. I can understand why it's not open source.

I am surprised that there is no digital option to preselect your candidates before going to the polling place. i.e. Make your choices, receive QR code. Go to polling place, scan, verify selections on voting machine, press big red button and

No issues with because he usually ends up at his destination intact. If, through no fault of his own, he didn't arrive intact, spooky experts probably didn't know what they were doing. I can see how the argument still holds water

I've stopped judging a product on 5-star reviews. Between two products, I will chose the product with the _least_ 1-star reviews. But obviously, this method breaks down when a product only has 50 reviews. Also, I would expect a somewha

As an econ major, I've come to the conclusion that the dismal science is equal parts making models and explaining why they don't work.

My god, this describes me to a T, and every one of those bullet points sounds like a fantastic way to spend time working. It was only when I caused a production issue due to a refactor that I gave up on trying to making a behemoth codebase

Since we seem to have a good discussion here, there's something I've always wanted to know. If I understand correctly, the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. As is mentioned frequently when staring at deep space, we

So bizarre that this is being floated. Company has no idea what my cost of living is, regardless of where I live. i.e. 1. Employee moved back in with parents, not paying rent. Should company start paying them less because they need less? 2.

Thank you for reminding me of this. As an 8 year old, this was hours of good fun, and frankly, I viewed them as guides on how to be kid. I wish I still had them.
