Unless it has changed, the posts are in random order; they aren't the latest, which makes the ones you see basically worthless.

The part I liked in Event Horizon was Laurence Fishburn's character seeing the logs of the crew going crazy and immediately turning it off and saying, "We're leaving."

Probably the smartest decision made in a horror film. Time to get out of Dodge.

The prices are set largely by what consumers will tolerate. If everyone else is raising prices so consumers expect that, why wouldn't you do it, too?

Per the article, the bulb only had 4 MB storage and the idea is that each bulb's library would be a reflection of its creator. So there is no one list. Put whatever you want on it.

> This firmware comes pre-loaded with several books that are out of copyright and in the public domain, as an example.

These are just public domain books provided as examples. You can put whatever you want on it.

Almost the entire article is about turning a light bulb into a Wi-Fi hotspot/web server, and your takeaway was, well actually, _The Color Purple_ is not technically banned.

Unless I missed something I only spotted two book examples since that wasn't the focus of the article.

It wasn't for one particular case. There were 3,000 lawsuits filed using it.

And frankly a three year statute of limitations for sexual assault is ridiculous.

What mods do you use with SimCity 4? I've been wanting to get back into it and was looking for something like a mod pack without having to download a bunch of individual assets, but it doesn't seem to exist.

It is my understanding that we don't really know how this is pronounced and that this is just another instance of the Tetragrammaton [1] that is normally rendered as LORD with a few exceptions like this. This could just as easily be Yahweh instead of Jehovah.

They chose to do make content about one of their fellow classmates they knew would be harmful and shared it with others. It doesn't matter how aroused they were. If you're aroused, there's petabytes of porn literally all over the Internet.

The insider trading is pretty obvious right now.

Also kind of a weird complaint given how tied to Gnome Fedora is. Yes there are other spins but Gnome is the default DE.

He succeeded in opening a strait that was open a month ago in exchange for higher gas prices, destroying a nuclear program he himself said was already destroyed a year ago, killing an 86-year-old leader who would be dead in a couple of years anyway, no regime change, billions of dollars wasted, and dead American soldiers.

Such great deal making, love it.

Normally not unless they travel on public roads. If it's just used for farming it doesn't have to be registered.

It's not even a competent textbox. Try to scan barcodes into it for example, or use it with Autohotkey. It has some sort of buffering issue and lags horribly whenever characters are input faster than a human.

This is confusing to me. You value the time to return the cart more than €1, but not more than €0?

The first amendment says "Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech."

It's not a right granted to only certain groups. It's a restriction on what Congress, and by extension the government, can do.

> I still don't get what you think is "newsworthy", or what "should" be reported on.

That people die from heart disease and cancer, especially when they get older, is common knowledge. That's what makes it less newsworthy versus a local homicide story that is not common knowledge.

Ironically, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of this article by a Spotify engineer that has since been taken down:

EDIT:

> We noticed some users complaining about our shuffling algorithm playing a few songs from the same artist right after each other.

...

> Since the Spotify service launched, we used Fisher-Yates shuffle to generate a perfectly random shuffling of a playlist.

...

> The algorithm is now rolled out to everyone using our desktop client and other clients will follow soon.

Everything old is new again.

I've made that mistake before and the "plastic bag" cut my brake lines. Now I try to avoid anything in the road that shouldn't be there.

These influencers are incentivized to not touch the wheel because then that ruins the goal of their video.

I think the author just wanted to brag about their movie prop paper bag.

> There are a lot of things wrong with the American health care system, but a lack of care for white males is not actually one of them.

A lack of care for those who can't afford it is, though.

Celestia had been operating for years. I was using it 20 years ago.

The first one was portrayed in a clickbait "everything you know about electricity is wrong" way. There have been several response videos to it that lay out why it's misleading that explain it better than I can, but suffice to say that the lightbulb does not turn on immediately like he claims.

There second one takes a mathematical model for the path integral for light and portrays it like that's actually what is happening, with plenty of phrases like light "chooses" the path of least action that imply something more going on. Also, the experiment at the end with the laser pointer is awful. The light we are seeing is scattering from the laser pointer's aperture, not some evidence that light is taking alternate paths.

He's had a couple of misleading videos over the last few years that finally made me unsubscribe. Specifically the lightbulb with a 1 light second wire and the more recent video about light taking infinite paths.

There was also the Waymo ad and the Rods from the Gods video where he couldn't bother to use a guide wire to aim.

You would direct the user to submit a bug to Firefox if the latest version doesn't fix the issue. That's how they learn if this change causes issues.

It is, and they give them special phones for that reason. Obama had a special Blackberry limited to 10 people.

Not if they pass it via reconciliation.

Doesn't this require foresight that your mouse may fail? It isn't enabled by default.

Any other OS, you'll be able to at least tab around without the mouse.
