You should take it and then switch seats with your wife. Happy wife, happy life.

The site is designed poorly and is stopping me from reading the article. I use NoScript, and it immediately redirects me to a "Hey you don't have javascript enabled, please enable it to read" page that is on a different domain from the website the article is on. I tried to visit notion.site to try and whitelist it temporarily, but it redirects back to notion.so and notion.com.

Rather than jump through more hoops, I'm just going to give up on reading this one.

I have a great deal of respect for the legislation that the EU have passed/enforce. They are ensuring that they get the best version of Windows and are forcing Apple products to interoperate better.

As an American, my next OS will not be Windows.

Raid leaders are symptomatic of broken game design.

In just about every sport, the teams have coaches. So no, having leaders do not indicate broken game design.

Since you are completely removing at least 1 human from potential bodily injury claims, wouldn't you need a greater than 100% reduction in bodily injury claims in order for this to be better?

I mean when you are literally removing 1 person from possible injury, you literally can't have the same number of bodily injury claims. It can only be less.

For gamers, Apple isn't an option.

I don't think its sting was removed. The line was:

  Fortunately there was no sting in the tail of this tale, and Ms Alonso-Mossinger said it now felt "like it is a funny story... but it was pretty scary at the time".

Are these patent trolls doing anything that normal companies with patents that try to monetize them don't do?

I think the only real problem with that is at some point (if they aren't already) they will embed cellular modems and just exfiltrate the data that way. They do this now in cars, why not TVs too?

Workers were offered $4,000 toward relocation costs and extra paid time off. Those willing to relocate were told to do so by September 30.

It looks like just saying yes buys you an extra 3 months and paid time off to interview to find a new job.

This is a great way of looking at it, thank you for that.

I'm going to assume a bit and for that I'll apologize in advance. I'm assuming you're in a high risk group for HIV. Why not just use condoms? Is it because they aren't 100% effective?

I don't run javascript by default using NoScript, and something amusing happened on this website because of it.

The link for the site points to a notion.site address, but attempting to go to this address without javascript enabled (for that domain) forces a redirect to a notion.so domain. Attempting to visit just the basic notion.site address also does this same redirection.

What this ends up causing is that I don't have an easy way to use NoScript to temporarily turn on javascript for the notion.site domain, because it never loads. So much for reading this article.

Imagine if Microsoft had to sign off on every single program you write for your own windows box in the name of privacy and safety. It certainly does feel like we're moving in that direction, really.

Aren't you also volunteering your data? Don't browsers just talk to your webserver and say "Hey, what do you have?" and your site responds in kind.

I can't help but see this as "Man builds microplastic generator to clean streets."

Don't forget about Life. The show that ended too early.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is that cities are usually pretty far from the farms. This leaves farmers and those wishing to buy from them with long supply chains. In my experience, people that live in cities have never really had fresh vegetables before unless they've personally grown them.

With this in mind, I can see a large former factory building being converted into vertical farming and then selling fresh produce, year round, to select clients at a premium.

Being able to farm and produce year round is also quite a nice bonus. You can largely ignore the weather, except where it impacts your supply chain.

All that said I think it's a fine idea and a great use for previously used industrial spaces.

Hopelessly immoral? I've used plenty of cracked software in my younger days and not once did I consider it immoral in the least. Some people just draw a line in the sand in a different place for software.

I just don't care at all about someone's "lost potential revenue". I consider it to be the same as skipping commercials with watching TV, or adblocking the web today.

It has been my experience for a very long time that most warranties aren't worth the paper they're printed on. They either take too long to replace the item so that you end up buying a new one, or simply do nothing at all. The warranty service that Amazon tries to add on to every "device" purchase is famous for this.

I read this to find out if my Ubiquiti edge router 4 was secure or not and only saw one statement: "Ubiquiti is not recommended. More on why below." Only Ubiquiti isn't mentioned anywhere else that I can find. Kinda frustrating.

What happened in 2008? I'm looking at YNAB and would love to know about the bad things that have happened.

One small note about using a screenshot versus actual text is that a screenshot does not scale with resolution.

I think a lightly styled html box with the tweet as text would be the best of both worlds.

The vote was a lot closer than I would have thought, that speaks volumes about how effective anti union work done by Amazon was.

But I do think it's quite a bit early for it to be said that they beat Amazon. They made it past one hurdle. I would wager that Amazon's anti union playbook has many more planned.

I am reminded of what happened when a Walmart store unionized. Walmart closed the store down. That doesn't sound out of the realm of the possible for Amazon.

When I'm logged in, neither old.reddit.com or reddit.com work.

I do have the user option to use the old UI turned on in the user preferences, so reddit.com and old.reddit.com are the same to me.

So I went to reddit.com in a private window (not logged in) and it came right up.

Was there a sequel to Wall-E? I'm showing Wall-E 2 is coming out in 2022.

I find the title of this post doesn't match the post content.

The title reads like Upwork has a plan to suspend users that live in Eastern Europe at some point in the future. But the post itself is just about Upwork's lack of transparency about suspending one user.

Have you tried resetting your profile? That is a regularly recommended fix for some crashes.

Isn't it something more like:

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

I believe this was blown way out of proportion, but I am uncertain how else the visual studio code team should've responded.

Where do you draw the line?

Was there a way to politely respond to this person without kowtowing to them?

Maybe by adding an option to disable the santa hat, where it's on by default, but you can turn it off?

Google has been sprucing up their search page for years now; Many a santa hat has been present, and people were both annoyed and happy, and also apathetic. Would Google have responded similarly, if some random person had a pipeline right to their developers?

It feels like even though some random person with a complaint got his wish, everyone else lost something. Like the ability to put something fun in your software without being overly concerned about offending one person.
