Frankly, I am sick of "it's all just marketing and attempt to do regulatory capture, and this is obvious to me, a smart person" on every single discussion related to safety. There could be an element to truth to it, but it&#x

Why though? I’m very much not playing devil’s advocate here… but at 1 it’s like probably a bit of calming classic nursery rhymes with benign animations; maybe start to learn some counting and ABC’s by osmosis. That same 2 hours at 5-8 seem

Found this app a few days ago and am glad to see this comment just for the task view thing. I don’t really mind the other warts of this except this one which has been driving me nuts. I am not experiencing the scroll sensitivity issue.

This summary & the abstract undersells it a bit. IIUC, a precursor/causal strong energy source like a gamma ray burst produced stimulated narrowband emission from the H clouds, effectively forming a natural maser pointed at us

I’m a big fan of the interior & Ive design (and am not always a fan if his). The exterior is pretty cool from the front and back … but from the side and at angles it just doesn’t register as Ferrari at ALL. Seems to scream for a longe

You have to look at it now like cryptocurrency “market cap” numbers. It’s more of a marketing tool than anything. This is just another honking whirlygig to bolt onto the SpaceX IPO to try and generate exit liquidity

Last time I flew my family was very early to the gate; it was me, my wife, my 5 and 3 year old girls, and a very elderly lady in a wheelchair who was blasting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” from her phone speakers.

Docs. Load-bearing implicit authority. Attribution of sales. Implicit assumptions about humor / topicality in group chats. Office kitchen standards & practices. It’s up to the CEO to fix all of it, directly or indirectly. Except pe

It doesn’t really affect hypertrophy but it matters because imbalances will get you weird injuries and/or mobility restrictions in the long term.

I like the sentiment but saying “ads are not inevitable” is just holding your breath until mom gives you ice cream for dinner

A relative ran a trucking operation for a few years and now says he’s significantly more wary of any trucks on the road. At the same time, he says that it’s a miserable business because you’re constantly getting sued (at a level markedly hi

This PBS Spacetime video pours some cold water on the black holes as dark matter hypothesis: https://youtu.be/qy8MdewY_TY?si=9jc_a7IAm4qrhfNX It’s 4 years old; I don’t know if this JWST finding changes anything. I do know

The article is wrong. That’s when they changed it for fly/free. Here is the 92 backstroke final. The announcers mention the rule: https://youtu.be/FTfTyzkSzQs?si=E82rvKql-w9vuwSf I tried to find 96 and cannot but it

the backstroke rule change was circa 1988. They changed butterfly (and I suppose freestyle) after the 96 Olympics when Dennis Pankratov won both butterflies with this technique. Interestingly, the backstroke innovator who probably trigger

The benefit of AI as a feature in calorie counting apps is great. But you have to track stuff manually for a while to realize the benefit. Specifically: using AI for restaurant meals is a convenient starting point, from which you use your

I had a similar experience watching Mr. Robot. There’s a scene where it shifts to first person PoV and the voiceover says something like “am I seeing this? Is this real?” … and it was EXACTLY the PoV I had every day walking out of my offic

A dashboard is mostly a saved bunch of queries with a visual-aid in interpretting them. Staleness, which Majors alludes to, is one problem. The visuals being a poor aid to interpretability is another. Usually these problems are coexisting &

It’s mostly a light criticism of the Honeycomb perspective. All the value is presumably in the outbound links to thinking about dashboards that the author laments is being ignored.
