And yet women seem to be defeating men at ultramarathons. I think more research is needed.

It isn't the best written piece, but your snippet feels taken grossly out of context. The rest of it: "A common response is to invent new work, ask for status reports, and add bureaucracy. A better response is to go back to workin

That would be an aside, or a comment, not the point of the article.

Recently learned that one of Ben Franklin's sons was a loyalist. He fled to England after the war.

I didn't get the impression this was totally replacing static routes. Seemed to be augmenting it. But also, while your concerns are valid, I don't think they are large enough to not try these things.

Fairly misleading wording with such lines like "Most of the funding for all of the major browsers is going away"... it makes it sound like it goes directly towards the individual browser budgets. That might be true of Mozilla sinc

On iOS, you can break through dnd with repeated calls (unless you turn that off, too).

That's still awful. We've all become complicit of sites spamming popups after first load. It's so annoying.

A VPN should help with that. E.g. for the Mac folks, Private Relay on vs off was a delta of about 100 city blocks for me.

Agree there was a lot of filler, but to be fair, your odd out-of-place zinger is just as annoying as the podcast. Fairly unattractive. And the cycle continues.

I tried them for awhile, but there was always just enough false positives to make it too intrusive for normal work flow, especially if you're normally a fast typer. In the end, it was better to either just add more thumb keys in a cust

I'm a bit out of the loop but wouldn't hosts have the original source material that they uploaded? Similar to how users have the source images/videos to whatever they upload to TikTok and Instagram? I suspect neither offer an

The child in me is excited, but the adult in me is skeptical of the stairs mode. Unless there's some very obvious physical signal that the skates are in stairs mode, I can see some people injuring themselves trying to mimic the stairs

Unlike Windows, there's a separation of concepts between "application" and "windows" on Mac. Closing all the windows of an app doesn't imply closing the app. I actually think the Windows way is sloppy (and I ca

I think he's saying sane businesses will stay away from GCP, leaving the hobbyists, and there aren't enough of them to sustain GCP.

I do get excited when I happen to find a mmWave hotspot and can pull 2 gigabit on my phone (for what purpose, I don't know), but after that, life proceeds as normal.

Yep, much of this experiment already happened: Android, Windows, etc. If it is so easy / steady-state to have both experiences simultaneously on one platform, why didn't it happen on either of those two? It will absolutely devolve

They're not enforcing it, they're simply incentivizing tip offs. Not much different than any other crime tip system the government has run. It's still up to the government to actually enforce it once the evidence has been sub

I have never witnessed anything like his comment. If it happens, it hasn't directly impacted my living here. Still my first choice city in the US.

Police are everywhere in Manhattan. Pre-pandemic, it would be odd not to see several per day on patrol on a normal day to day. In SoCal, I can go days without seeing one. Having said that, they don't have the best rep for enforcing tra

I think Microsoft's play was to further strengthen Game Pass to the point that Sony can't deny it on their platform anymore (or at least make it hurt more to continue doing so). It makes sense that MS won't remove games from

Unfortunately it can also be taken a bit too far. It’s not uncommon to essentially buy yourself out of punitive criminal justice via an apology and some cash (jidan/gomen money). It’s not totally unlike a settlement here, except it’s m

To be fair, my last apartment in NYC was like that. Convenient trashcan right in the mailbox room. Though I suppose my mailbox didn't literally get filled daily. If that's the case in Japan, that's pretty bad.
