I don't agree. While yes, it's definitely possible the interviewee handled it poorly, I have seen enough poorly conducted interviews to say it's just as likely the interviewer was the problem. My best guess is that as a menta

Well, to be fair, Garry's article was clearly 100% AI-generated. So perhaps he didn't even really post it; maybe it was just a rogue agent. Or, y'know, an assistant who posted without his authorization. Or perhaps Ambien wa

I am typically extremely skeptical of food-related studies generally, but Derek Lowe taking it seriously is enough to make me a bit concerned, too. Derek (not David as the other person said) indeed has a stellar reputation as you say.

Was doing some searches to look for where to stream the Super Bowl, and Arkansas's official website (AR.gov) came up with a ton of results. Looks like it may have been compromised? I haven't clicked on anything, as I don't ha

At least with traditional search results, there are some indicia of their trustworthiness: does the author/outlet have a history of deception, are their assertions well-sourced, etc. With a chatbot result, it's effectively a black

>There's about a million people making at or below minimum wage in the US. Not nobody. I'm sure there are people who are working jobs with truly awful sub-minimum wage pay (under the table work, undocumented folks, etc) but I i

You can. In my very very limited experience you can sell it to collections for something like 80% of the value in a case where they have a perfected security interest. They will send a UCC letter to payors, who are legally obligated (from w

Same here - I've had my SyncMaster 226BW for roughly 15 years now and it's still a great monitor, but a few years back I had to replace one of the capacitors after the screen would turn "on" but had nothing on the displa

Yeah, I'm unpersuaded as to the definition of "modern" here. A lot of Aristophanes' work (c. 405-423 BC) still holds up today, if one understands the politics of the time.

There are a ton of these shady 'testing' sites all over the country. Some of them will just take all of your information[1], presumably for purposes of identity theft. I was visiting Houston about a year ago and I saw what I thoug

I am not a programmer, but it has been fun learning little bits of Python and making scripts to automate tasks. We have folders for clients at work and everything older than a couple of years should be archived, aside from certain legal doc

We got a few packages ($10-$50 each in value) delivered to us over the span of a couple of months. Not ordered by us. Addresses were mailed out to: Jane Smith (my fiance) 1234 Our Apartment St, but lacking an apt#, yet they were still deliv

Barely better than placebo? The paper you linked says: "Inactivated influenza vaccines probably reduce influenza in healthy adults from 2.3% without vaccination to 0.9%" That's a ~60% reduction, which is nothing to shake a st

Have you had to provide the results from a DNA test to any of those groups? I've never been asked to "prove" what I've self-reported, even though I do not look anything like what I am checking off as my ethnicity.

There’s archive.is but I get the sense that the major use case for that is getting around paywalls as opposed to permanently archiving a page - indeed, since they host content that the site owner probably doesn’t want them to, it would stan

I can't speak for the whole of DOD but there is serious consideration that goes into training flights, with respect to not violating any local laws and especially not fucking with local agencies. It would be unfathomable for this kind

Probably a reference to this[1] although the tweet is since deleted. Basically, some guy had heard/felt a sound like a bass guitar string snapping in his head and had some pretty serious symptoms afterwards, which he thought were physi

The article repeatedly calls out Miami for being the hottest city in the country. I've never been to Miami, but it looks like averages in the 70s and 80s year-round. I'd take that any day over having to put up with the blizzards,

Why use LTSC over, say, Pro? Genuinely curious. I have been running 16299 on Pro since about when it came out. I would be running win2k if drivers, etc were updated for it.

Price per patty is a strange metric. I get that they're prepackaged in patty form but the competing "traditional" product is ground beef which is typically sold in price per pound. Ground beef is readily available at sub-$3&#

That seems very high. I pay $28/mo with USAA. Clean record aside from a minor at-fault collision a few years back. edit: Upon further review, it's actually double that ($56/mo), as apparently it's billed in two-week inte

And that's great - the App Store serves a hugely useful purpose - but you shouldn't need to rely on an iPhone vulnerability and a jailbreak to opt out.

In British English, however, only the first letter is capitalized if it is reads a word, so it would be Aids.
