But then the article starts debating the fussy details about 7k vs 9k vs 10k steps. Generalising, without strong reason to believe otherwise, any western adult would probably benefit from more activity regardless. Don't scare off baby steps by making 10k a quantum goal but also don't placate minimal effort by applauding 7k - or having walking as your only source of exercise.

In living memory, through McCarthyism.

A bargain compared to paint colours for cars.

But I paid for a game that wasn't free-to-play

There are actually people working on things other than CRUD web apps!

It is, as is the embedding of Edge as a default browser. The attitude seems to be that it doesn't matter anymore or that it's worth doing even if they do get in trouble.

The link makes the point that this information should change the way you invest. I'd argue that it makes more sense to change what you invest - how much you save.

If your saving rate is defined by how much you need to save for 4-10% growth to allow you to retire comfortably, you're not saving enough. Save pessimistically & then, if you're wrong, your punishment is that you can just spend more later in life.

Of course, most people aren't well-paid SV software engineers and will find themselves unable to save this much. They might be forced to contend with the possibility that saving 10% of your gross income for 40 years is not a sustainable way to guarantee 20-30 years of continual annual leave. Public pensions became popular because the masses feared what would happen when they were too old to work. Effectively, that's a welfare net for being disabled due to old age and should be treated differently from the modern retirement ideal of a healthy, mobile adult playing golf all week.

Or on the 4th of July, to me.

I'm not saying Americans say dates like that, I'm saying it's a reason they might consider that other people, or Americans once-upon-a-time, say dates like that.

>Nice work, world's best and brightest.

I would be delighted to see the uproar if being bilingual+ became a FAANG requirement.

10000 guys who can implement a trie but only 100 who can communicate with more than 1/5th of their customers.

>"march 11" which is how we say dates in English anyway

I think every time this topic comes up I come across someone with this misconception - usually from a country that celebrates the 4th of July.

A sudoku solver isn't similar at all.

It is a shame. It's a game that's trivially optimisable but requires you to avoid doing so to have fun. It's a game that already existed, so must have become popular for another reason: because they came up for a way for people to brag about their intelligence in a socially acceptable way.

Ironically, it's disappointing to see how poor the vocabulary of some English-first-language speakers is & how readily they blame the game for using quite common words that they don't know.

In every pokemon game I remember playing as a young child, the default text speed was painfully slow.

The title is an incorrect editorialisation. This is not a government proposal, it's a committee proposal.

That's not the original minifig. That's not even the original minifig that had a face.

Similarly, I can start typing in an email before Protonmail has caught it, causing it to start using keyboard shortcuts.

>less aware, imo

It was always a terrible feature! alt/super+left!

I think there are a lot of people who never learnt about this and will only learn after an embarrassing phonecall to a recovery company.

Not in money laundering.

I do the nitpicking reviews but, when I review someone for the first time, I specifically point out that I leave nitpicking reviews and don't block approval on most of them.

It's astounding how bad satnav apps are in general. First of all, google maintains a monopoly on apps that work with Android Auto. Using either of them, you'll inevitably come along a route it's guiding you down which is impassible for some reason (roadworks, too narrow, etc)

That's not really a problem in itself, it can't be omniscient. The problem is that there's no way of dealing with it. You turn off, to take the only route available... and the apps reroute you to the same road you can't take. You then have to manually navigate until it gets the hint and routes you down a passable road.

Maps is also heavily dependent on a stable internet connection, strobing and not letting you start a journey until it's connected. Caching your local map is a manual step you have to do repeatedly.

If you stop for fuel & disconnect your phone while you go to pay (as the station might recommend) then you might find it has discarded your journey by the time you get back with no path to re-joining it. Fine if you're going to a single destination and have a good internet connection. Not fine if it's multiple points or - as tends to happen in the middle of nowhere - you can't connect to the internet.

Multiple points are a problem in themselves though. The apps support destination-based routing but are completely foreign to the concept of journey-based routing. In 2022, if you want to drive a scenic route along a given road, your best bet is to take a notepad and jot down the path yourself.

And of course the voice assistants are broken. Garbage. It's absurd we convinced ourselves they stopped being awful.

If true then the index of the data would be the file. That's called encryption.

I object to that specific incarnation because lying implies knowing the truth. Instead of lying, someone can just be incorrect.

Pensions meaning defined benefits is an Americanism. A 401k is what others might call a pension.
