Yes, it would be great if there were literally any other comparison other than repeated but slightly different views of Feb vs Mar in 2026 only.
Same issue with Switch 2. You can only wake it with a Switch 2 controller. Nintendo's own Pro Controller for switch, which used to wake the Switch just fine, cannot wake the Switch 2. Seems like a forced upgrade issue,…
I do not believe that _you_ are trolling with this question, but answering this is just asking to be trolled. That said. Fortnite. Yes, I still play it with friends and cannot play it on Mac or Linux. :( I'm sure others…
This is both somewhat funny, but also sad. Such a mood. :D
A pretty cool one, at that!
Even your description sounds like a startup, to me. There was a hook to get the funding (easy to get weapons funding in wartime). Recruiting the top talent. Urgency (beat everybody else to the punch). Outsourcing the…
I love that this comment came up directly after (at the time I'm writing this comment) "Math doesn't care about your feelings."
I've tried to explain this a couple of times, but I keep falling back on the calculations used to show the problem (that it's not the numbers themselves, but the pattern). This comment nailed it with simply "It's that…
It's more that if you start with those clean, single decimal percentages and a total number of votes, you'd end up with decimals for number of votes, which isn't possible. So if you then remove the decimal from the…
I think you are correct, but that's missing the point of the article's content. I'm just a programmer, not a math expert, but I believe these statements are accurate. 1. It's very easy to arrive at the provided values,…
I hear what you're saying and somewhat agree, but as with everything, I really don't think "it's that simple". First, that you're even using Google search or Gmail is providing Google with data they use for marketing.…
"Probably shouldn't have used N95 though"... gee, ya think? :P I would like to think that it's clear to everybody that they absolutely should not have claimed that it's even "N95 Grade", which clearly indicates that…
How does this erode your confidence in the FTC? Maybe you missed the FTC report where they stated the maximum filtration they were able to reach was 86% and that was the maximum, with most tests hitting much lower. Even…
Is this simply because the bookmark manager linked (Floccus) is not available for Safari? Or better yet, can you elaborate on how any of the content up the chain from your comment that shows why Safari shouldn't be…
I agree so much with this. I was excited for the feature until the first 10 seconds. I don't want a fake DJ "talking to me" or attempting to emulate a radio DJ. It's not like all I have to look at is a dial with numbers…
Complete plays is a fair metric, if it doesn't take into consideration related traits like when I love a particular remix of a song that is very different than the original, the system decides that I loved the original…
Not when it's recommending something it _should_ already know I like (and probably why it added it to the list). Also, sometimes, I may like something, but not add it to my personal list. Since there's no way to rate a…
You're comparing video streaming services (one of them a live streaming service) that have far more cost per user, to something that has far more minimal costs. You're also comparing individual account cost per user…
Yeah... was wondering if it eventually learns that digging straight down is more likely to kill you than any other direction or if it could ever learn to down down only when standing on the edge of another block,…
I really think this is a "to each, his own" concept. May work great for some people. May be terrible for others. The internet is a wonderful place for the open exchange of ideas, if you just treat them as such.
I seriously think that the specific range of hours was not at all the point of the example. Would you disagree? If you're going to nit-pick, my kid starts school at 9am, so I can't start work before 9am. What about…
Maybe you missed the part where the insurance stopped paying anything. If you do nothing, the insurance wins while you still have to eventually pay or suffer other consequences. The only trick here is tricking yourself…
Not saying this is the complete picture, but the first thing I thought of was "Maybe it's just that $75,000 was the bare minimum to break the barrier of some specific level of unhappiness at the time the data was…
IMHO, you're talking about 2 very different things. I would guess that the maps difference was due to devices (not sure if MacOS users even use Apple Maps with any frequency compared to opening up maps.google.com in a…
"Instagram democratizes the mental illness that used to only affect child stars and the hollywood famous." Wow. I have problems with Instragram, but I've never tried to sum it up into a single statement and while this…
