Which parts of their actions should be protected by law? They stopped doing their job, interrupted the work of others, and were in parts of the building that they did not leave when asked. These would normally be completely normal to treat

Sounds like a meta Turing test... after conversing with an AI, how would you describe their personality and mental state? Presumably we want to tune somewhere between "unimpeded ADHD monologue" and "crazy guy on the tube&quot

I work on a project at a large (although not Google-scale) company building a collaborative RTE. The short is answer is no, there are very few universal truths about how text editing works. You'll experience differences between combina

Keeping the metaphor, it's responding to the question of "Do you know Joe?" with "Yes, and that guy Bob over there says Joe is a pedophile" whenever asked.

This is a completely circular argument which also happens to completely miss the point. 1. They want to show personalized adverts 2. So they collect and process the data to do so 3. And therefore because they've collected the data, the

Chrome does give access to localStorage/sessionStorage in Incognito and this can be used to communicate between tabs on the same domain, but just like cookies and cache this data is wiped if you close the Incognito instance. It's

The CSS for HN is very terse, and aside from a mobile-specific set of rules it doesn't really do any variation. Is it possible you had set the zoom level previously, which the browser remembers between sessions, and turning off the tra

I can imagine that works fine for fresh-out-of-university candidates but I can't imagine a time in my career where I could (and would want to) take 5 days PTO for a job interview. FAANG-like hiring has the question "What info do y

Often "impossible" is based on constraints like "0 downtime" "100% planned rollout, rollback scenarios" etc. These constraints get thrown to the wind when the downtime is already happening.

pożyczyć is both borrow and lend :) In English there's a difference of direction. "Kuba pożyczył moj długopis" - Jakub borrowed my pen "Kuba pożyczył mi jego długopos" - Jakub lent me his pen I'm learning Polis

Maybe you mean in the wild? A high-profile death-by-Orca occurred at Seaworld [1] but I think this was more of an intentional revenge rather than accidental playfulness. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_Brancheau

Microbes are actually around 1 micrometer! Whilst I'd generally hate for a 1 meter bee to exist, it might be worth it just for the nerd joke. So purely factually, a microbe is only 1/10000th of a bee

Looks like another round of W3C bike-shedding an existing easy-to-use and well-understood community standard until it's godawful to work with and half as useful. Gotta love standards bodies!

Standard Darwinian competition wouldn't matter here - people generally finish breeding (ages <35) long before they have trouble from cholesterol (ages 40+) or other minor dietary issues. You could consider in the same way as the exp

That first one made me think of combining Pokemon with Slay The Spire - each Pokemon has a deck (themed towards poison, electric, etc), and the Player has a deck (utility, healing, battlefield modification, combos) In battle, you can choose

Windows 10 is only good compared to Windows 8. The terrible product decisions are all still there, if slightly more hidden.

I think the electronic maps were limited more by technology than vision. Google Maps (any many map systems even today) used pre-rendered tiled images, which means you could only zoom at the levels which were rendered and rotating the grid w

This seems like the most obvious candidate for Occam's Razor, although stranger things have happened. Part of me wonders if it's easier to 'invent' a comet strike or otherwise imply divine intervention as a way of avoidi

The alternative (as in, current reality) is "Whoops. I hit ctrl+entry while copying my secret and no-one noticed for a month. Guess all our data is leaked now!" It's also up to each provider what actually happens when the &qu

So I split my packets up into smaller chunks. Now you need to rate limit DNS. But you still need to allow regular DNS traffic somehow, or you break the internet.

Plus the energy to melt the ice, 0.016kg * 334kJ/kg = 5334J = 1274 cal. A grand total of 1.8kcal per ice cube. Only 1000 ice cubes and you could eat twice as much as usual! At around 16 liters of water once melted that would be an inte

But if my colleague was sat at his desk eating a kebab for 8 hours a day, I'd find it problematic. Not everyone is as able to ignore sounds and smells as you might be. In particular the sound of someone vaping over a headset/phone

The grieving process was intense for the first few months. It was somewhat amazing to notice the "stages" as they happened. Anger, towards my parents and my teachers and my psychiatrist, was the hardest to deal with. But acceptanc

I was diagnosed with ADHD 7 months ago. The diagnosis and medication have been life-changing. I was 'high-functioning', in much the same way as OP: stable marriage, successful career, not much savings but at least not in any debt.

That sounds like a very unhelpful response. People with ADHD are known to suffer much higher rates of divorce, because ADHD is largely emotional dis-regulation. ADHD is often ignored in 'high-functioning' adults who present with a
