I used Lotus Notes back in the day. The author is vastly overstating how useful it was. It was mostly useless and overcomplicated most things. Yes, many of the concepts are being used today but at its time, it was an feature that was waitin

The diskettes are going to demagnetize over 35 years, I don't think a 90s disk drive is going to make a difference.

All TVs offer extra functionality like connecting to Netflix, Disney+, HBO etc. It obviates the need for an extra device like Roku or Apple TV.

How is this legal? Can't we sue them or get the FTC against them? This seems like a ridiculous amount of spying, even if their TOS says so. That seems like exploiting complexity of TOS to let them spy on everyone. I'm pretty sure

Tesla Solar Roof has been dead for years and years. Any installers continuing with this knew the writing was on the wall years ago. My friend got a solar roof and they doubled the price on him to over 100k after they signed the contract, an

Every paper needs to include an independent replication of the study.

No paper should ever be referenced until it has been replicated by an independent group. The replication crisis in science is real, and it won't take long for no one to believe anything anymore.

How is that not considered libel or slander? That seems like a home-run case to sue the hell out of Snapchat for damaging her reputation for a joke made in a private conversation.

Moderna is testing an mRNA vaccine that might be useful against bladder and kidney cancers. Hopefully the same technology can be applied to pancreatic and liver cancers. Fingers crossed.

I'm very sorry for your sister's death. My friend's dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer out of the blue and died within 6 weeks. It terrifies the fuck out of me because there's nothing you can do to detect it or fig

You said he hasn't seen his daughter in over a year which means he was disallowed from coming into the country since August 2025, before that in-country processing was ended. It ended in May 2026.

Those ranchers can fuck right off. Beef prices have never been higher and they want to keep enriching themselves and make up bullshit excuses and crying over lies. Funny how quickly they want to privatize gains when it benefits them, but wi

The difference is that this guy gave a code that wiped the device while it was under investigation. That's obstruction. If he wiped his phone before crossing the border, he would have been fine. If he refused to give his password to th

There is nothing noble about search over and above AI answers. It's just an outdated way of delivering answers but massively impaired because the technology didn't fully exist. Imagine you went to your doctor to ask a medical ques

The message is obviously: If Bending Spoons buys your vendor, then gtfo as quickly as possible. Don't wait, don't sit around like a sucker and hope you won't get screwed over, you will.

Can you poison their database with ai-generated license plates on a screen? Maybe set up a van with a big screen in front of a Flock camera and start generating random license plate numbers?

You are completely wrong. It's always been a far left concept until COVID. This is from Mother Jones, a very liberal web site. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/06/the-anti-vax-mo...

Pre-Trump, anti-vaxxers were notorious left-wing granola types. Lots of anti-vaxxers were white liberals living in Marin and NorCal and sending their children to private schools like Waldorf. Only after Trump did people start lumping them i

I'm actually confused as to what the policy should be. Should ICE or whomever else just like the people on hunger strikes die? Or should they continue force-feeding the people on hunger strikes? Neither seem like a good solution but I

Yes most are just like me, because TV viewership has dropped almost 80% since 2000 for 18-49.

TV viewership for 18-49 has dropped almost 80% since 2000, with the bulk of that drop between 2015 and today. So most "normies" are not watching tv. Older people might, but they represent a fraction of the spending audience.

I haven't watched broadcast TV in over a decade, except for live sports. I also haven't listened to broadcast radio in even longer. My teenage children don't know how to use the TV or radio. It's like someone telling me

You can't accept a quote from Tony Fadell about how Apple was trying to "scare" employees without taking into consideration his considerably bad reputation. That is actively supporting disinformation. His quote is incredibly

Just out of curiosity, would dumping a ton of bleach into the mixture get rid of the smell by breaking apart all of the components? Or maybe high concentration acid?
