Same. I had a troubled childhood and many D's in high school. If it wasn't for me studying really hard and getting a 2320 on the SAT, I wouldn't have gotten into any school, but that was enough for UCLA to take a chance on me

With chrome flow tab ui I can rapidly scroll through full width page previews, and I can initiate this by swiping from the top down. In Firefox the tab previews are so small as to be almost useless, and I have to press a button.

Personally, I use Firefox on PC and would love to use it on my phone. Literally the only reason I use Chrome instead is because of the flow ui tab switching. I just can't stand the Firefox mobile UI for tab switching. I with there was

I switched to Joplin from folders of text files in dropbox. I'm on Windows and I don't want to pay. It's barely better. The fact that it forces you to write in markdown, or use external WYSIWYG editors is a massive downside.

It's ironic that you care about race here as people have transcended race in the works of Ghost in the Shell (people can easily inhabit a completely different body, even a non-humanoid one). I hope this world comes about soon so we don

I'm trying to work toward that goal every day in my lab! Sure would be helpful if a billionaire hired me though. Kernel is the closest thing we have to an industry effort, but they don't quite know exactly what they're doing

Anyone know if there's been any sort of security audit for WeChat? I'm basically forced to use it and I'm sure the Chinese government must've put some kind of backdoor in it.

Their software is good, but their hardware? Awful. PFsense doesn't know how to do reliable hardware at all.

I've been really disappointed with Lyft, even as I've used it for over 100 rides. The driver quality has been getting worse and worse. I got an email months ago telling me that I had gotten enough rides to be in the top 10% and be

A better question is, why isn't there an open source webmail service like gmail that can be run on a server you control? My lab uses Gmail for business, and the outage took us down too. I just want to be able to run an email server tha
