The horse population has decreased by half or so since the early 1900s. And horses have stayed pretty valuable, too. Most of them just don't have to work as hard anymore. The horses used for sport never went away, only…
As a former doomer, this post does a great job of building a flimsy strawman of doomer thinking and then tearing it down. It does not respond to any of the real concerns brought up on doomer subreddits such as…

Why would a ledger be necessary? Couldn't a root certificate store be used, such as today with HTTPS? Then, the bar doesn't even need to connect their verification system to the internet, other than for the occasional…
Here's the article I saw the $4/100g: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-23/meat-grow...
Future Meat Technology can already produce cultured meat at roughly the prices quoted in the article ($4/100g, which would be $18.14/lb). It seems unrealistic that the industry would have already reached its lowest…
They know it is infinite. They want to understand the cardinality. Any two sets (including infinite sets) A, B have the same cardinality if there exists a bijection from A|->B
Why shouldn't a chair be provided by the employer? Chairs are ergonomically important and leaving it up to employees could lead to work injuries if they choose cheap chairs.

While I haven't dealt with that precise situation, I know from experience that it is more likely that your friend (deep down) does recognize their own mental health issues, but confronting that will require them to…
It did a good job of finding other artists that I like, but the playlist didn't have any central theme or mood.
This is super cool! However, I notice that the generated PNG isn't high enough resolution for Retina or other High-DPI displays. It would be great if this gave the option to export different sizes.
Amazon customers connect their Facebook friends to find people with wishlists. Someone who has the contact could have information that could link the two accounts, for instance if the OP has someone in their friends'…
"What Qt application has as much reach as slack?" - KDE - AMD's Radeon control panel - VLC - VirtualBox Qt apps feel far more native than Electron apps in my opinion.
I totally agree. The text was hard to read. I thought that Timoni West's design was much better than what exists today, however.
I wish this would link directly to the Internet Archive instead of showing it in a frame so that it would be easier to send links to people.

When I was 13, I remember setting up a forummotion account for this exact purpose. I know that many others have done the same. Very cool to see dedicated software for this purpose!
If someone put data in a column that wasn't valid, like a string in a bigint column, would the table be altered or would the FUSE driver refuse to make the change?
I did this [1], and so have thousands of others through the Harvard Personal Genome Project and other associated projects. So far, I haven't faced any consequences. If you decide to do so, I encourage you to make your…
