LLCs limit your financial liability, but you can still work thousands of hours on a business and end up making nothing. If you work the same thousands of hours as an employee, you will make money.

There have been several attempts to make battery swapping for cars a thing. This includes Tesla's attempt and another company that went bankrupt. For some reason, it does not seem to work out and they all stop trying it.

Seems like a flawed design to have the entire national flight system go down from a single point of failure. Do we not have redundancy and / or distributed systems so this sort of thing doesn't happen?

I don't understand why this would cause sadness. I found most of questions I asked it could be answered as well by using a search engine. Sure, it was more concise than searching but going through many sources may give more accuracy an

I've always interpreted it as meaning no patch is available yet for a vulnerability. Does not matter whether a decision to patch or not has been made. Doesn't matter if it's been exploited yet.

Yes, I used to file taxes with paper forms from the IRS years ago and this is free. There isn't even an income limit to do it this way as far as I know. But of course it's more of a hassle than doing it online as you have to buy s

What's the point of this? It's not clever or useful and could cause people to waste time and gas getting re-routed. It's no different than spamming a forum or website.

Making DST permanent is essentially forcing everyone to wake up earlier in the day. All we're doing is calling 7 am, now 8 am to get people to psychologically accept this. This is a win for morning people who function better earlier...

The focus should be on walkable communities. Biking and transit help but they are not good solutions for elderly or people trying to commute reliably. EVs are still bad for the environment. Walking is free and simultaneously helps reduce he

I had this happen to me. Went to order something for pickup from maps. I thought it was the restaurant's page but the order went through postmates. When I arrived to pick up my order, the staff seemed to think I was an employee of post

Some advice if you find it hard to skip meals - you can drink things like coffee, tea or water. Skip the sugar of course, but it helps your stomach feel less empty to have liquids. Many people are accustomed to having their stomach full all

Privacy was never a "core value" at Apple. Have people forgot about Prism? During that, Apple bent over backward to give data to the nsa. Other companies like yahoo sued to try preventing it. Privacy is a marketing tactic at apple

They just need to create some incentive to opt in. It could be get some discount or your devices get a fallback if you allow other users to get a fallback in the event of internet loss. That would be the right way to do this.

We should save some of the mosquitoes in labs in case there are unintended consequences. Then if needed, they can be bred and brought back to the environment.

The interest in these crashes is because technically, it's AI that has killed these people. That is fascinating in of itself. Are there any other automakers that have deaths from a similar cause to autopilot? I'd be interested in

Madeoff's claim has always been that it was meant to be a temporary, short term thing and he believed he could get himself out of it before anyone else realized his fraud.

All this is really doing is forcing everyone to wake up earlier in the morning. You're basically calling what is now 7am, 8am. Instead of forcing schools and companies to start earlier, you just repaint the clocks so these institutions

I think comments like this dismiss all the people who are using bitcoin for actual, good reasons. They are mostly in developing nations which is why they seem to be getting ignored. There are people who otherwise have to pay very high cross

Melatonin and turmeric. The melatonin is actually more to help me wake up than fall asleep. I used to have a horrible time waking up. Now I usually wake up right before my alarm goes off.

I had considered asking this from a web developer/node perspective. But I increasingly do other things like run different databases, golang, etc so I left it open-ended for that reason.

It's great that people are doing things like this to reduce their carbon footprint. But one thing that seems to get neglected is that changes in behavior and lifestyle can also significantly reduce your impact. What if you moved closer

Wasn't there inside help? I read several articles saying that there was. Any of those insiders charged? Twitter is in a bind. If there was no inside help, that says their security is pretty lax. If there was inside help, why have they

There could still be a circuit in the light that could pass the current without lighting up. Or even if there was no such thing, it could be added in the future after everyone was shamed into believing you are a fool for putting tape over y

I've seen several studies finding similar patterns. I also notice the general media has said nothing about this Vitamin D link. Also interesting to note that African Americans have been hit very hard by covid. This is also a group that

"Participants were recruited using Facebook ads targeting a representative sample of the county by demographic and geographic characteristics." How is it representative when it's only Facebook users in this sample?

Is it really possible to stay anonymous for this long? Nakamoto bought the bitcoin.org domain at one point - we know this for sure. Surely someone can track how this was paid for? Someone running the forum he posted on has IPs it came from.

Well now the stats will get distorted as people reading the article check the question on stackoverflow. That is unless they have another way of gauging this. If I click that link to the question does that increase the count for the languag
