But they’re not even that passionate about this. Shitty game companies continue to be rewarded by players.

Panko bread dough is placed between two metal surfaces, and is cooked by running an electric current through it. This avoids any crust forming, causing it to be very uniform.

I imagine you could do the same with brownies.

The company has taken action against violations of its policies, she said

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles (www.psypost.org)

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes...

It says “a leading cause”, not “the leading cause”. Depending on how long your list of leading causes is, anything could qualify.

I skimmed the source they linked, and it lists guns as the leading cause of death for ages 1-19. I did not see an overall list.

I would agree that a more carefully phrased sentence would have been better and less misleading.

That is irrelevant. If Trump’s behavior would cause a regular schlub to be jailed, then he should be jailed, full stop. That’s how the law is supposed to work.

I pay for YouTube. I’m mildly optimistic that this won’t make it into the paid version, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

I’ve already had to cancel Amazon Prime after they made the base tier have ads, but continued to show ads after paying extra for ad-free.

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

Aluminum is the fifth most common element on Earth, and is naturally present in pretty large quantities in soil.

Are you sure you aren’t confusing it with lead?

If you were as confused by this as I was:

Then, you could take those comments, and have the compiler use them to ensure you’re using the right variable in the right place. Oh wait, we just invented a type system.

It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:

Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

Ah yes, I’ll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.

It’s so obvious, why didn’t I think of it before.

Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.

I’m sorry to hear that. I think at one point in my past, about half my job was tracking down nil dereference errors in Ruby. And probably a quarter was writing tests for things a good type system would catch at compile time.

I’m waiting for Outlook (Taylor’s Version).

That is not a use for blockchain.

Say I want to say that I created an image. I could post that image’s hash to a block chain, and point to it as something anyone can check.

But you already have to trust me for that to be valuable. So I can just host that hash in any of a myriad of conventional methods that are simpler, more performant, and less wasteful.

paholg ,

The only selling point of blockchain is that it’s trustless. This becomes a less-useful property when it comes to things in the real world, as you tend to need to trust at least one party.

For example, anything they achieved there with blockchain, they could have achieved with a simple government-run web service and a traditional database.

I assume you meant trillion and not million for those gdp figures? Even then, they’re low.

But you can delete your copy, ask others nicely to delete theirs, and refuse to accept more copies of the same thing.

Hear me out: part of me welcomes that.

Currently, most websites are awful to browse, and a few are not. If we switch to a world where most are inaccessible to me, and a few are nice, then I’ll spend less time being frustrated by cookie popups and the like.

Like, if a site’s going to be terrible, I almost prefer it just not let me in at all.

As an example, I used to click the occasional Twitter link. Now that I can’t see comments, I refuse, and life is a bit improved.

You need an account and to be logged in to see comments now.

Not really, no. Who’s going to honor the deed? There’s your central authority that can control it.

I’m sorry, but that’s a shit take. If someone wants to have kids, they shouldn’t worry about legal trouble in the case of miscarriage. Full stop.

No one should be okay with the government having this much overreach.

I’m saying we (all of us) should find it absolutely unacceptable that these legal risks exist.

Depends on how traditional you want to get. The original metric was the number of 14" shells something could survive. Given that, 20 seems pretty good for a car.

It’s really not at these scales. Earth and Mars go from roughly 4 light minutes apart to over 20.

Do you have a source that sports are a net financial positive for schools?

Here’s an article about students being charged thousands of dollars each per year for sports programs: nbcnews.com/…/hidden-figures-college-students-may…

Here’s an article showing that only 25/65 Division I schools had a net positive revenue from sports: bestcolleges.com/…/do-college-sports-make-money/, with those losing money losing a lot more than the ones making money.

Another: pbs.org/…/analysis-who-is-winning-in-the-high-rev…

Just search for “college sports net revenue” and I’d be surprised if you find much, if anything, that agrees with you.

paholg ,

Yeah, the few at the top bring in revenue, but most don’t. Speculating on future revenue is not helpful.

If you’d read the links I shared, you’d see the revenue figures include alumni donations, and they’re still a net negative for the majority of schools.

paholg ,

It definitely is. A passkey in a TPM, for example, cannot leave a device. Also, passkeys can have phishing resistance that you cannot obtain with a password and most MFA solutions.

Where passkeys fall short is registering new devices and recovery. I’m not sure what 1Password’s solution is here.

If it were just the principal then this child would never have been arrested. Sadly, a lot of people in this story should be removed from any position of authority, or possibly society altogether.
