Yup. And with DCA, a skittish investor has something they can point to when buying stocks in all market conditions. Instead of “oh, I should wait for the dip” you can view your automatic purchases as “buying fewer shares because they’re exp

So this is how I find out how profoundly cheap my dad was :). Thanks.

I want to say $39.99, but I'm not entirely sure of that number.

I remember this vividly. The end-cap on one of the aisles was where the encyclopedias were stocked. The "A" volume was sold for $0.01. One penny! I remember being incredulous at the low price. My dad: "Wait until you see what

Yup. Same way Gmail neutered tracking pixels in emails back in the day. They open each one as soon as the email is received, rather than when the recipient opens it.

Why fuck around with 20x pricing then? If the ARPU is on the order of $0.12 a month, why attempt to charge $2.50 a month?

For those that don't know, a phone book was often about twice as thick as a Thomas Guide. That should help.

Yeah, they also covered a new use of the lidar/camera on iPhones, to notify users that they're too close to the display. Called "Screen Distance" https://www.apple.com/ios/health/

Same reaction here. It was a classic movie scene where our protagonist is watching old home movies of their deceased family.

Unless you have an older carbureted vehicle, engine braking should use no fuel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking#Limitations Just do a decent job matching revs on the downshifts so you don't trade brak

Yeah, Quantity has a Quality all its own. Every time I hear an argument for surveillance that boils down to “well they could just stand there and watch you do the $activity,” I lightly lose my mind. CCTV, ALNRs, facial recognition, etc. All

This is all true. I don’t think I’d like paying more for debt because others routinely default on theirs. I’ve always been judicious with the debt I take on, and that has benefited me by allowing me to access the cheapest credit and no-depo

Oh that's a good idea. Should I sign up for one of these and just wait until they go bankrupt? What are the odds that they'll want to recover individual units from each user? How much will I have to pretend to use it while I await

Yeah, which is why "AI detection" is crap. It's basically the plagiarism detector with the false-positive dampening turned off. (I know, I know, it may not be exactly that under the hood, but I think that's what it amoun

I would expect a plagiarism detector to flag it. I would not expect an "AI wrote this" to flag it, because it was not written by AI.

It's a cat-and-mouse game for sure. At the first level, any dongle that simply types the AI response through a fake HID device will be easy to detect. No real essay writer just types an entire document in one go, with no edits. They mo

> The solution is quite simple, cheap, boring, and unobjectionable to anyone who might hear it. What is it? Genuinely curious, because I’ve done the same thought experiment as you about how little control individual cities have.

This is some excellent planning. When a future request comes in for east votes and west votes, they can just update the rotate() parameter and push the changes straight to prod.

Weird, I didn't notice that at all, but comparing the current look to one from February [0], yeah, it's changed. The raster 'Y' is definitely more acute than the new one. The vertex is lower. But those old voting arrows

Sounds like a nightmare to check the logo in every combination of OS and rendering engine to make sure the 'Y' is perfectly centered in the box and has the same weight. SVG doesn't change the way positioned text does.

If you smuggle "pilfer" into the description of AI, then in that case it's "obvious". But the comparison could just as easily be written, "One is a computer program, literally designed to learn from copyrighted

My favorite thing is when a website or app places a bunch of icons at the extreme bottom edge, and my tap there is confused by iOS as me interacting with the app switcher bar. That's always fun.

What icons have ever not been skeuomorphic? I hate skeuomorphism when it's used wantonly, beyond the purpose of communicating how the UI works. Like that first version of the Apple Podcasts app that had a reel-to-reel animation¹, for

I used to "half-joke" about wanting everyone's SSN published in one big fat breach. I don't joke about it now. I really do want every single SSN to be published somewhere with the associated identities. It seems like not
