In Switzerland, when you pass by a building site that has opaque boards up around the perimeter, they often have a little hand-sized cutout at eye level so you can have a peek inside. It's strange, and I assume it is for the curious to

I'm pretty sure they are. RAI have an office in Zurich, Switzerland. And I've seen these Just Eats wheeled robots driving around near their offices, delivering stuff. I would guess they are responsible for it.

I ctrl+f'ed to find Restfox to also give my recommendation. It's a great tool, thanks for maintaining it! :-)

This is very cool, the only thing I don't think is correct is Soul music branching off from R&B in the 80's. That's definitely not right, if then it's the other way around. Although the guide is electronic music, so

Yeah, I noticed this too when watching the keynote. It's interesting and must be deliberate, I wonder why they do this.

This is what I was thinking reading TFA. Doesn't it become an AI arms race, where insurance companies use AI to deny claims, and customers use AI to fight the denial ad infinitum?

Because most people would put a case on it, making it even thicker? I mean, I spent ~$1500 on my last phone, and while I treat it carefully, I'm not risking it getting smashed so I could never go without a cover.

I would say the same thing for Australia. There is no local car industry there, so no protectionism from the govt. on importing foreign cars, one would assume.

Very interesting! Dale is anachronistic in English by now I guess. I've only read it literarily as in "over hill and dale" and otherwise thought of Tal as valley in German.

I recall around that time reading a story where if Steve Ballmer would catch you using an iPhone on the MSFT campus he would blow up. At the time, comments were "make a better phone" but I agree with your position. It's surpr

It's a human check after you use the self-scanning checkout, they verify that what's on your receipt is what's in your bag.

First time I went when I was in America, I ordered I think a medium with sugar. It was this gigantic 1 litre cup of very, very sweet "coffee". Had to throw it away, absolutely undrinkable. I'm very far from a coffee snob and

Eh, wouldn't the extra weight just degrade the battery performance and maybe the ride handling? If you're considering a new bike, it's like (note these are made up, I have no idea about Zero motorcycles): - Premium/unloc

Maybe honesty would have been better, but at the beginning when nobody knew how bad the pandemic was going to be, I'm sure almost everybody would have stockpiled as many of the "better" masks as they could get their hands on.

I saw the same comment on a different thread today, so I decided to have a sceptical look at the summary and analysis link. From that link: > Here is the pro-vaccine argument: “It isn’t the absolute number of deaths that should be co

Don't car makers normally create 'platforms[1]' anyway, where a bunch of designs and production features are re-used across brands in the group? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_platform

Almost every company in Switzerland that produces software has a bunch of eastern Europeans on the payroll, that either immigrated to the country or work remotely. But if the company started in Switzerland, or management and especially seni

It is sometimes hard (or impossible) to completely remove sugar, as some items contain natural sugars e.g. even natural yogurt without added sugar contains sugar from sucrose. There was a diet that gained popularity in my country that was t

The majority of the population was actually willing to do this, as it was a referendum that captured 50.3% of the vote. But it also had to capture a majority of the cantons in the country, which it did not do. And so the initiative failed.

What is the upside to being on S&P? What were they on before, Nasdaq? What is the material difference? Genuine question.

Won't the FDA be 'forced' (or rushed) to approve the mRNA Moderna vaccine? I assume this will open the door then for others coming in afterwards.

This was a pretty interesting explanation, thanks!

I get that feeling. But it's probably exactly the opposite. If you can share your niche, others in the niche may look to you as the expert.

Eh, at my company we also sometimes build "pre-sales features" like chart animations that look pretty during a client demo, but don't add much in the way of usability.

It's a good idea to hedge your bets, but at my company (>50k people) we now have a hiring freeze so anybody that already got an offer is lucky to have just squeezed in. If you can get in touch with your hiring manager perhaps you co

14-months may be pushing it -- they have a stated weight and height limit but in practice it depends if your steward cares or not. Over weight/height isn't going to break the bassinet, we had ours with the legs hanging over the ed

I find it hard to believe that the smell and taste of smoking was actually pleasant to begin with, and more likely that you now have a positive association of the smell with the pleasant effects ("high") that you got from nicotine

After your comment, I muted the audio when the announcer told the audience what the computer would say. I couldn't get it straight away, but when they emphasised different words in the sentence I could usually tell what was being said
