I have it on my website ( https://packagepicker.co ) in only CSS by using `flex-direction: column` and setting a best-guess max height with several breakpoints. Unfortunately it does break down in some situations because some page

They would think they are the original you, but I think the GP was saying that the original perspective would continue on the original consciousness-continuity/body/hardware. Cloning a hard drive can produce the same data, but wit

I've done something like this and it's not too bad with the Poisson distribution. You can pick a time interval and the average amount of times an event (scoring a point, for example) that occur in that interval and get a realistic

A few things that are well-covered in this thread, but my personal favorite is PicoShare. It is a nice, simple self-hosted file sharing app that fixes a lot of issues with other solutions. Email has size limitations. Many services don'

Hey I made that comment! I assume Waymo has thought about it. I assume lots of people at Waymo have spent plenty of time in NYC. I also don't say that this was impossible or I think it will fail. What I do believe is that there are ton

I agree with you in principle about not blocking the box. But in practice it's not always like that. Sometimes the actual light timing needs to change. Sometimes the roads need to just be different than they are to prevent bottlenecks,

Sort of. The issue is that it's not just "waiting for a turn", it's often "start changing lanes into a small gap because you know the human drivers will make space and let you in". In which case, what you'

As someone who both bikes and drives around Brooklyn, I would bet this is going to be nearly a decade of testing. There are so many edge cases that I encounter on almost every single trip, and I just don't see anything but very advance

I don't have any numbers or sources, but I'll chime in as someone who limits beef intake solely because of environmental reasons. I don't cut it out completely, I just stay mindful and only eat beef when it's meaningful.

There were only ever 8000 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-1. It was able to be contained. Wikipedia mentions that quarantines were very effective because it wasn't often asymptomatically contagious. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Do you think they actually physically piled up corpses in nursing homes? Do you think a nursing home would allow a photographer inside to take pictures of random individual dead bodies? Doesn't it seem likely that the piles of bodies o

I generally agree and don't know how well this holds up, but reading this article when I was around 20 really broke me out of some entitlement and helped me start working on myself. I think it made me view things less selfishly and thi

Yes, FaceID uses actual depth/distance data by projecting IR dots during scanning. So you would either need to very precisely mock these somehow, or create an actual 3D surface. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT20

I have used this system in certain areas before. It's decent. But it's interesting to read about if you're in the mood! https://johnnydecimal.com/

At least in the part I'm looking at, this was still true at the end of May but is not even close now.

I don't think you're wrong, but consider that posting "I heard" with no source is pretty close to just posting misinformation

I think there is value to reading 20 10-minute articles on the internet. I think there is a different kind of value to reading 1 200-minute book. I like the knowledge I've gained from reading lots of articles. The problem comes up beca

I would say Andrew Cuomo has handled it decently as a public health crisis, and handled it very well as a means to improve his reputation.

For anyone who doesn't want to download something extra and is willing to DIY the launch shortcut, you can do this with Firefox (and Chrome too I believe). 1. Go to about:config and set browser.ssb.enabled to true. 2. Restart Firefox 3

I'm not sure about React's capability with this, but Vue can very easily run with no build stage. You can load Vue from a CDN and use a couple lines of JS to point it at a DOM element in your app. Then you can write a plain JS Vue

Here's a Numberphile video that talks about embedding graphs. I think this happens because the subset of graphs that are able to be embedded in a plane is actually fairly limited. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBkTIp6
