   I think the risks are different on a train, which is far more public than the inside of a taxi. There are more likely to be other people and/or an operator to intervene.

   I think there's a legitimate distinction between monitoring what's inside the car vs what's outside. Outside seems bad. Inside is probably necessary.

   I think this is clearly a matter of preference. Shorter variable (or rather, appropriately short variables for the context) for me are easier to recognize and disambiguate. They take up fewer tokens, so to speak. When I see `p.Age` I don&#

   I'm actually quite interested in your N paragraphs about why the category is written the way it is, and especially about the principles under which it is (or was meant to be) effective.. Frankly it's something I've always won

   I believe this is required by code in some places, depending on the location of the switch. Mine is inset into the counter top, so plenty of opportunity for water to pool around it which I think would rule out an electrical switch.

    I've always understood the increase in diagnoses to be more about increased awareness than about a change in human behavior. E.g. it looks like autism wasn't defined as a spectrum in the DSM until either 1994 or 2000: https:&#x2F

    I have studied the properties of ketchup extensively at burger joints all over, and in my expert opinion Wikipedia has it correct here. This is why ketchup barely flows when you invert the bottle, until you start banging on it and it gets m

    I want something like this for accurate room presence detection in my house (for lights etc) that doesn't require dozens of PIR sensors or similar. My dream is that the lights in my long hallway gradually dim up in front of me and back

    Summer breaks for teachers are much shorter than for students, especially when you take into account required continuing education and professional development.

    Many folks I know used WFH as an opportunity to move away from the city where you can get more space and quiet for less money.

    I've always used ncdu for this. It also allows deleting files/directories for when you're trying to figure out how to free up space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncdu

    I think it depends on your threat model. For my personal accounts, I'm more concerned about the risk from badly-managed auth than law enforcement. So from that standpoint, using an established big tech company makes sense. Other peo
