Yahoo is still around in some form or another.

Alphabet has enough money to persist well after they lose relevance.

Is GN going to put Google on a Performance Improvement Plan like they did with Asus?

The chain of cities from Detroit to Québec City really looks like it should be a prime candidate for HSR.

I’ve had that happen with what i assume was a hand lotion because there was a particular part of the lid that smelled.

I don’t know why other people are treating you with so much disbelief. This absolutely can happen with people not thinking about how their habits impact what customers are consuming. With how many millions of coffee beverages that are served every day, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that some small portion are handled improperly with poor hygiene. It also shouldn’t be overly surprising if you’ve had it happen multiple times because you likely visit the shops near you. Such an event isn’t random and is the result of someone’s bad habits.

Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.

You can only find a screwdriver by first releasing your intent to use it.

With an ad blocking dns.

Go down to the configure manually option and follow the instructions for iPhone.

I think next guard is also supposed to be decent, but they won’t let you use it without an account.

The nice thing about the dns approach is it works for more than just your web browser. There’s a bunch of Android games that are essentially unplayable without an adblocking dns.

As a disclaimer, a bunch of sites are ramping up requiring enabling ads or they won’t let you load the content. I’m ok with just hitting back and not viewing those sites, but my MIL just asked for help removing the ad guard dns because her news sites wouldn’t let her in.

Because the way you probably raise your foot toward you when putting on your socks ends up with that spot pointing toward your eyes.

As to how that helps before you’ve actually got the sock on, you’ll have to ask the designer.

Did you miss the Sci fi shows that taught us that we have to let the tech tycoons enjoy new technology exclusively for a good decade or so before it can be sold to the masses? So your smart contacts are probably in Tim Cook or Satya Nadella’s secret lab in a mountain valley.

Yeah reality and satire are getting close enough that I almost wonder if I should add a disclaimer that’s more obvious than the video link.

One of my friends thought I was quoting an interview with Susan Collins.

https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM

Interviewer: This airplane that was involved in the incident off Western Oregon this week…

Senator Collins: The one the door plug fell off?

Interviewer: Yeah.

Senator Collins: Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Interviewer: Well, how was it un-typical?

Senator Collins: Well there are a lot of these airplanes going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that 737 max 9’s aren’t safe.

…

Senator Collins: Well, some of them are built so that the door plug doesn’t fall off at all.

Interviewer: Wasn’t this built so that the door plug wouldn’t fall off?

Senator Collins: Well, obviously not.

Interviewer: How do you know?

Senator Collins: Well, because the door plug fell off at 20,000 feet and all the air spilled out. It’s a bit of a giveaway. I’d just like to make the point that that is not normal.

Interviewer: Well what sort of engineering standards are these 737 MAX 9’s built to?

Senator Collins: Oh, very rigorous aerospace engineering standards.

Interviewer: What sort of thing?

Senator Collins: Well, the door plug’s not supposed to fall off for a start.

…

Interviewer: So the allegations that they’re just designed to carry as many passengers as possible no matter the consequences, I mean that’s ludicrous isn’t it?

Senator Collins: Absolutely ludicrous, these are very very strong vessels.

Interviewer: So what happened in this case?

Senator Collins: Well, the door fell off in this case by all means, but it’s very unusual.

Interviewer: But Senator Collins, why did the door plug fall off?

Senator Collins: Well air hit it.

Interviewer: Air hit it?

Senator Collins: Air hit the plane.

Interviewer: Is that unusual?

Senator Collins: Oh yeah. At altitude? Chance in a million!

You’ll have to take that up with the origami council. I don’t actually do any paper crafts.

My best guess is that I misremembered Kirigami as origami since Kirigami was not in my vocabulary.

Oh for sure. I do my best to avoid Amazon because most listings are full of made up lies. I know marketing is full of half truths and exaggerations, but I despise shopping at places that try so hard to deceive me.

I just brought up Amazon since Amazon and monoprice are the most common options I see mentioned when people ask for alternatives to the overpriced options at best buy or whatever.

Industrial suppliers can be more expensive, but the time and aggravation saved by shopping by specifications you can trust is frequently worth a modest price premium. I’ve switched to Digikey and McMaster for a number of personal purchases after realizing how much of a mental toll deceptive marketplaces carry.

I got a somewhat fancy pair of origami scissors form a little Japanese market near me. The wrapping paper glide is amazing. I’ve never had so many near perfect edges before this pair of scissors.

This was pretty close to being true for 1080p and lower resolutions. If you get a 4k 120hz HDR display then bandwidth and signal integrity start becoming very important. The article you linked is rather old and really only considers media up to 4k 30fps. Cable quality especially matters at lengths above 4 ft for uhd and higher.

There’s a lot of snake oil so you can’t just trust marketing claims. I’ve had terrible luck with cables that claim to support high resolutions from amazon and even monoprice. I’ve resorted to buying cables from actual electronics suppliers like digikey since their speed ratings should be accurate.

Swap it with the windows key and put the windows key as the function modified keypress. As long as I can still disable that key, it would be fine.

I’m still waiting for hexagon monitors as they are clearly the bestagon.

Other countries should also be looking at adding forest area and wetlands in a strategic fashion to improve freshwater retention. Deforesting clearly changes local climates. So we should be able to do the reverse as well.

Historical accounts make it sound like the vast majority of land east of the Mississippi in the US used to be old growth forest. Between the chestnut blight and over 200 years of logging, most of the old growth forest is gone.

India has had some notable successes with a grassroots movement to get rural communities to do small earthworks projects to colllect water during the rainy season and let it seep into the ground. They have demonstrated a notable reduction in crop failures during the dry season resulting from the community action.

Wendel from level 1 techs really likes the multi actuator spinning rust drives. You still wouldn’t use them for a boot drive, but they’re fast enough to saturate a sata connection, while still being much more dense than ssds. They can achieve 500MB/s sequential speeds, so they’re plenty fast for large file access. Most consumers should be using SSD’s but if you’re dealing with more than a couple terabytes, the best solution isn’t as straightforward.

In a vacuum c=nu*lamba or the speed of light is equal to the frequency times wavelength. So nu=c/lamba. If you plot 1/x, you don’t get a straight inverse line. You get a multiplicative inverse. So not only is the data flipped, but it also has a distortion that will compress portions and stretch others.

As to why the functions peak at different colors, I believe this is due to an oddity in the axis units. Notice how the irradiance is in W/m^2/nm in the first and W/m^2/THz in the second. Are you familiar with histograms? Think of it like binning the power intensity per nm bin and power intensity per THz bin. Since THz and nm are inversely related, the width of the bins is changing when the basis is changed. This leads to another stretching in the data that is less intuitive.
