I think google search results are pretty bad these days. A lot of times the top results are pages that are ad-ridden and don’t contain the actual info I was looking for. Granted, my metric of “good” is an unquantified and very subjective bu

I never said it was a great idea. I said that equating it with a one in six change of instant death is a bit dramatic.

I know another anecdote won’t help you but when I read this it immediately rang true to me. > Smoking cigarettes is first and formost an anxiety suppression mechanism This describes my experience pretty well.

Almost everyone I know binge drinks from time to time.. You are right that it’s better not to but calling it Russian roulette is a pretty big overstatement.

> Given a long enough timeline, every abstraction turns wrong. This is bullshit. I think what you mean is that even a good abstraction can be used inappropriately. You shouldn’t compound that with the fact that sometimes people create ab

This law is intended to make large amounts of cash less useful without killing the utility of smaller amounts. If large amounts of cash become less useful that makes money laundering a lot harder. A black market for cash already exists. T

This is what blendle.com does. I expected them to be a bigger success than are, retrospectively as well. I guess that’s why I’m not an entrepreneur. :)

It should be easy to distribute RHEL back to ACME Linux via a detour right? I mean another company could distribute it to to ACME and and hide that with limited repercussions. I guess that Legally this would have to be revealed once ACME ge

Honestly, performance isn’t all that bad for me. Not much worse than Reddit anyways.

If your user account can be related to your person it’s most definitely personal data by European standards.

Most Taxi companies I’ve dealt with quote if ask them. Generally you get a few bucks off if you do so at least a day in advance. I’d rather give a call than install an app anyways. My experience taught me that taxis are usually around the s

Let me start with the remark that I am on team car hater! I have to admit that hey are useful for some things. 1. People are not really able to live in rural areas without owning a car. 2. I can’t think of a viable way of last mile transpo

Intellectual property is the problem, not AI. We should abolish it. It is oppressive, hard to enforce and pointless. I’m not sure how thing will work after we’d do something like that but I’m of the belief it will sort itself out.

> There are even people advocating to take the farms from them. That’s the only option left on the table if they won’t shrink the livestock and diversify as farmers. Let’s be real: it’s not like this legislation came out of the blue. Nit

This isn’t advice. People get a lot older nowadays. I recon food(safety and available) makes a big contribution to that. Moderns food is pretty good. Just keep your diet varied and sane.

I don’t think recursion is that hard to reason about. You need an understanding of how to work with it. This requires practice in the same way dealing with trigonometry required that. If you are a programmer and feel that dealing with recur

I didn’t benchmark anything so take this anecdote with a grain of salt. When upgrading from a MacBook Pro i7 with 32g of ram to a MacBook Air M2 with 24gb I saw my rspec suite get 4 times faster.

Thats bs. 10-50 times higher is for unskilled labor. You should try comparing a someone with an academic background in Lagos versus someone in Cairo .

That’s strange to me. I moved over from Spotify and expected QOL degradation that didn’t happen. Sound quality is better, artist are getting pay more and I have more music available(Joanna newsom, skeemask)

I don’t think spotify does this particularly well.. I moved over last month and this isn’t the main feature I am missing. The feature I miss most is the weekly playlist followed closely by the multiple daily’s.

It isn’t. People saying modeling is indistinguishable from analog gear are just incorrect. For a touring musician the modeling route is just WAY better. Recalling your sound night after night without working with sensitive and fiddle equip

There is no “everything is automated”. “Everything is automated” is similar to “finished software”. It just doesn’t happen. Besides that there are many services you want to purchase where interaction with the other is part of the value of s

A friend of mine was in a similar position. I’m he knew he had a wallet holding about $300k of dodge coin. He just didn’t know if he had the key. Long story short: he spend a big amount of time trying to recover the wallet key and failed. I

I don’t say I have nothing to hide. I’m saying I’ve got no financial transactions above 10k to hide… You are not allowed to hide such transactions by law in the country where I am from.

Explain a single scenario of how one acquires large amounts of cash that: 1. Isn’t easy to provide provisions for.(which is how cash payments can be made legal). 2. Doesn’t require criminal activity in Europe. I think a lot of people are th
