I called a bank to increase my ATM limit. The agent sent me an SMS code to verify my identity and wanted me to read it back to him. The message said not to give the code to any human. Sigh.
It's also tax-payer subsidized (i.e. regressive, because it's mostly higher-income people that get dental insurance) because it's money from your employer that you or your employer don't have to pay taxes on.
I've been self-employed for years now (USA), and never buy dental insurance, because it's not really insurance, it's basically a non-taxable way for companies to give their employees extra money. Buying it as…
There just wasn't evidence-based studies for a lot of common dental practices. Not unlike when the FDA was created, a lot of old medicines were just given a pass, even though they aren't useful (like how Acetaminophen…
Certainly most particulate matter, and it's not even close. Comparing particulates to gas emissions is difficult, so there's no way to say what's "most". Either way, my greater point still stands: switching to EVs isn't…
"Hundreds of other ingredients, including steel, fillers, and heavy metals — including copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc — make up the rest, many of them added to enhance performance, improve durability, and reduce the…
Tires are only about 25% natural rubber; the rest is synthetic rubber, heavy metals, plastics, and additives. These get emitted as fine particulates that stick around in the air. They may not technically be a gas, but…
The tire & brake particulates go into the air. Sure, technically not gas, but we breathe it in just the same.
Sorry, but most car pollution is from the tires/tyres, not the exhaust. Electric cars don't solve that, and may even make it worse because they're heavier. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/03/car-tyre...
I guess Elliot Gould is hotter now.
This team is at the second best high school in the USA. they have the resources and the money.
Yes, I know, I was tracking the stock while watching WWDC. But there was a very sudden precipitous fall right when this was announced.
I've been an avid 1Password user for over 10 years, but since they gone full-throttle targeting the enterprise market, I'm getting more and more annoyed. It's increasingly buggy (right now, it thinks I haven't migrated…
Is this what caused AAPL stock to drop ~$3 rapidly? (mostly recovered since then)
So implicit, not explicit.
10-1 odds they’ll still vote for Trump and republicans in November.
But you may want to walk across the highway which is almost always allowed.
But each conflict point is crossing only one direction of traffic, and there are no cars turning left or right into the crosswalks (which is huge cause of pedestrian impacts). So even though there are 4 crosswalks,…
If you watch the linked video, the kpop concerts basically do that. You bring your own light, pair it via bluetooth, and specify your seat.
Cause Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, is such a swell guy.
eBay just doesn’t care about fakes. I’ve reported many things over the years and they almost never get removed. I’ve pretty much given up.
Do you think Paul Graham or Garry Tan give a shit about accessibility?
Balancing a game is hard. You can hardly blame anyone for getting it wrong on their first attempt. But getting it wrong 30 years later…
Modern furniture (even those "fancy" new DTC brands you hear on podcasts) has taking a nosedive since it's been offshored: https://wapo.st/4bnkYl6 These days, if you want quality, you pretty much have to make sure it's…
