If someone in that meeting quickly raised a hand in an arc, you would notice the “about to throw something” pattern, look and notice the hand holds an eraser, analyze the arc and predict possible flight paths of the eraser. Then possibly no

But we aren’t talking about that individual energy needs. We are talking about everyone’s energy needs at scale. The economies of scale work differently for billions of mouths vs one mouth.

Religious and too poor to eat meat. Not exactly selling the idea of “strict vegan diet” to a bunch of people with enough cash for meat and incisors in their jaws. You got any examples of cultures en mass with “strict vegan diets” because le

We have zero business using AI en mass right now. We are running random code in user space. It’s a damn virus. We don’t fully understand all of their abilities. We are cruising towards disaster.

Shan’t is a lot of fun. It feels like such a misuse of contractions. But it works. And it’s fun to say. Also fun: yesn’t. Yes, but really no.

Why would SO be down? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around does it matter?

It was not a healthy relationship. And things slowly got worse and worse over time. I was too inexperienced to see the red flags. Eventually after 19 years I wised up. Resentment started building up and up and up.

I went under for 2 different surgeries. One of them I had post surgery complications. Years later, we needed to know the year I had the complications. I remembered the surgery, simply look it up and ta-da I got the date. Except, my wife tho

News is hardly the Internet. And everything in News is on the Internet. There are news+ articles available to Apple subscribers. This is hardly “the internet”. This is analogous to premium memberships on websites. Nor is it required that an

One could use his flip flop to invalidate his new position. But one of those two positions is true. And if they guy who spent the most energy on position 1 changes his mind, that is worth paying attention to. His second position is likely a

They said as much in their intro. Due to a rare defect in our software, sometimes the zip is corrupted. We blame the user for not backing up, or backing up corrupted files. That is when I stopped reading.

Your point being? Hubble in certain circumstances can see narrow and far. If you express this as a cone, you can extrapolate a volume. It might be very useful to have something that can search wide and maybe not as far; nearer Earth dangers

This is a fair trade off for many. I want my OS to protect me. All things being equal, if my OS doesn’t help shitty vendors install unwanted stuff… good. It can swing the other way, my options are limited to company’s that pay my OS provide

This looks like a sequence diagram than has been extended from a 2d graph to 3d with the 3rd d being “time” that you step through with a button. You could render this interactive diagram as a static sequence diagram quite easily. And then s

I get what you are saying. But… if it didn’t need a browser, it still needs a runtime, and a computer, and electricity, and technology to print CPUs and and and A browser is just a drop in the bucket.

“Saving and Editing” is pretty big for a menu title. But it is more applicable than “File”. Most apps don’t deal with Files as the controlling metaphor. Word would do well so call it “Documents”
