Our politicians and legislators lie on camera constantly. But it doesn't really seem to matter much these days. So I'm not sure why this would make a difference.

Penn & Teller have a Bullshit! episode about this (Season 2, Episode 5). Well, it's technically about recycling, but it makes the claim that landfills are not a bad thing, and much better than the current recycling situation, in mo

I've been using an app on my Android called KineStop. It definitely works. I also recently picked up an EmeTerm wristband - it's basically a mini TENS machine for you wrist. I was super skeptical, but my sister recommended it so I

I don't really think this is fair. I haven't been to SFO in years, and I'm sure it's great. But I don't think PHL is nearly as bad as some people like to make it out to be. (To be honest, I think a lot of people jus

PHL has a verion of this ("Wingmate pass") that I use pretty frequently now! If I have a friend/family flying in/out I usually get one so I can meet them at the gate. It's very nice and convenient. I just wish they

When this was DarkSky, the service was solid. I don't ever remember an outage. Ever since Apple bought them it's been extremely unreliable. I regularly get random 5xx errors from them. This is the first time I know of that they&#x

Android has a "Private Space" feature. As far as I can tell it's only a single extra profile you can create, but I think you can keep it "hidden" (at least in as much as you can't tell if it's been created

I wish there were an easy way to rotate the image back. I can use the inspector in dev tools and manually change the transform style that's applied, I suppose.

Maybe it was changed quickly, but I can't find anywhere that is says "No tracking". It specifically says "We don't track you around the internet." and "doesn't track you across sites" in the term

They aren't taking issue with Signal, per se... they are upset that people are sharing the whereabouts and movements of ICE officers. Signal just seems to be the medium-of-choice. And this just happens to give them a chance to declare

Most people have many devices: phones, tablets, laptops, etc... so this makes that stuff accessible from anywhere. And if you lose your device, or it dies, you don't lose all your data. On that note: self-hosting allows you to centrali

An actual list would be long, nuanced and vary by platform, but I'll offer a sampling. For many things there's might be a basic API available, but when you dig a little deeper you find huge limitations. Geolocation is a great exam

The user already has to explicitly "install" a PWA on iOS. See dfabulich's comment in this same thread for how overly complicated and convoluted that process is currently. So there's a pretty good argument that instal

I'm sure declarative web push is great. But most of this post sounds to me like they are trying to justify artificially restricting web push notification functionality on the web and offer an inferior solution instead. It's pretty

That's not even a remotely good takeaway from this. The paper is specifically focused on the "yellowish nodules", ultimately diagnosed as xanthelasma. It's not meant to be a thorough assessment of the guy's health.

Then your 7am will almost NEVER match my 7am. Or anyone else's 7am. It may only be by nanoseconds, or it may be hours (i.e. east coast vs west coast USA). So how would that even work in the real world?
