Never heard of it until today. > Spark, which launched in July, is a social feed of photos. It is similar to Instagram, but open only to Prime members. There is the reason--thinly veiled way to encourage people to buy…
Gregg is not the way to go if you're looking for a shorthand that captures text in the way you would need for programming or science and I don't know of a good shorthand for this [if it wasn't already APL.] Gregg is…
You know, I had a sad thought about fusion-powered CO_2 and that was once it will be built, the energy is likely to be used not for CO_2 scrubbing but instead to mine Bitcoin.
N=1 situation: Found that drinking more water helped the joints of my back ease and reduced lower-back-pain. After that, you need to do functional movements and lift-heavy-things, often. Not too heavy, but enough to…
Perhaps this should be a more relevant link, or is JWZ intentionally redirecting it from https://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2017/06/14.html Either way, the hairy-ball-eggcup picture is inspired.
I'm using this as my daily-driver font when I remember to install it. :)
First thing I thought of when I read this was of the two people who thought it would be fun to play with cocoa powder. They died. http://1000waystodie.wikia.com/wiki/Choke-A-Lot
I don't think there are barriers at the "entry" level at all. You can't build something like Amazon or Walmart over-night, the sustain and focus in these corporations are only doing what the economic "fitness function"…
If Amazon could drop $13B on a national grocery retailer they could just as easily drop some number of billions to buy every podunk regional bank willing to sell and merge them into the Bank of Amazonia. If Elon Musk…
The Kroger-based store where I live just botched a floor-plan change so badly I should hope that it was just a local screw-up. This particular grocery store went from okay to "penny-thriftstore" useless.
I think this seriously discounts how "personal" these devices are for people. It would be like loaning a toothbrush to someone who already has one of their own and expecting it to be returned. At best, perhaps a loaned…
Amazon is now (or more so now) like Evil Corp in the Mr. Robot kind of way. You can ship your Evil groceries via Evil Prime purchased via voice-command with your Evil assistant device paid for with your Evil…
Pony language's "reference capabilities" are like this--which separates the idea of type from the access to memory, and provides another level of error-class elimination and its composition of these reference…
Kim, Behr and Stafford's "The Phoenix Project" isn't half-a-bad start. Follow it up with everything referenced.
Had you updated your contact information with a copy of a scanned ID? Was it legitimate? This is probably more due to regulatory pressures and any possible Coinbase alternative in the USA is going to have the same…
As if voting worked... (but that is another can of worms.) No. I wouldn't pay to vote with my phone. There is an annoying problem of "anonymity" which phones are very prone to break--if you could ever trust the…
Gwern has an extensive write up on melatonin at https://www.gwern.net/Melatonin Personally if I'm off caffeine for too long the resulting metabolism strangeness takes me out for about a day, but the next time that…
While this seems nice, this still helps people create servers as "works of art" instead of repeatable constructions saved into configuration management, which Cockpit explicitly does not do.
Wouldn't it be much more exciting to discuss actual physical limits of computation? Something like https://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/revcomp/physlim/ ?
There is a reason why you shouldn't adopt the e-mail address or phone number your cable company _could_provide to you: it ties you closer to their network and increases your dependence on it. I doubt that Kik's "core…
Sleep and high-intensity exercise are underrated as productivity tools. Anger is best solved by not ruminating about it---the catharsis hypothesis is busted. Read other people's source code of interest, closely.…
And what is that supposed to mean, "Quora is off?"
Also cannot watch the video on Linux/Chrome, but then I guess I am also not their target audience. [video displays as just a black screen. no errors.]
It is pretty on Windows, but disappointing in Chromium on Linux. No error messages, just a loading screen. The interface is better than the desktop app, but that is just cursory from material design. I cannot tell if…
I'm not one to usually defend Microsoft, but this is a sad day. This increases the world's reliance on fewer and fewer developer-collaboration systems like Github. But, if you're set on hosting your own, it isn't so bad…
