Well duh, the water molecules get cold and huddle together for warmth, causing them to stop moving so much. Even my fifth grade teacher knew that!

I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.

They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.
Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.
I was not expecting that. Trump continues to shock.
I wish I could drop 2024
Most people in my circle moved to AIM with some on MSN and one or two weirdos on Yahoo. The ability to have a fun username maybe contributed. Did ICQ let you set an away status with melodramatic lyrics? I remember that being an important feature in the others.
The HN thread has comments by “founders” admitting it’s a transreflective LCD. They claim it’s super-duper customized but it’s still an LCD.
I also found a a reddit thread where it was being advertized as e-ink and a company rep came in and admitted it as an LCD and that the article came from a friend of an employee, but I’m not finding the thread again now from a quick search.
It’s not actually eink (aka electronic paper). It’s an LCD screen with a filter to help glare. Clearly deceptive marketing and worse, they have “friends of employees” advertising it as eink.
The demo was so fucking creepy. Would rather be in a dark room surrounded by victorian dolls that sometimes seem to turn their head towards you and blink.
Similar here. The “you need to read through page 95 by Thursday” for years ruined it for me. For over a decade after leaving school whenever I’d try to read something I’d just obsess over the page numbers and how long until a chapter break. It’s only very recently I’ve managed to get mostly past that and actually been able to get into what I’m reading.
Looking at NASA and Webb sites it appears this is a poorly cropped version of pictures from over a year ago, not something new like the article claims.
There are absolutely laptops with fingerprint sensors.
I’d say the main reason it’s more common in phones than computers is because of the different markets. Phones are mostly consumer purchases, the business market is smaller and the software is more locked down so you can rely on a software disable better sufficing for those cases. Laptops are increasingly dominated by business use cases. Businesses have IT groups that care about security who would prefer models without biometrics.
Secondarily, you login to your phone a lot more often than laptops so the convenience factor is less impactful for laptops. So people don’t consider the fingerprint sensor a mandatory requirement as much as with phones.
Simple: make friends with someone with high speed internet who’s not very savvy, keep up the charade until they allow you to borrow their computer. Then you install a headless vpn server with logging disabled. Boom, high speed local VPN that doesn’t point to you. Just buy them a $2.50 beer once a month to keep up pretenses in case you need to do maintenance.
Is there a country that uses a different thousands separator based on unit?
No.
The page you link has the foundation’s leadership structure. He’s a cochair on the board with 8 total people. The board is a degree removed from day to day operations of the foundation. He’d have to convince the board to then convince the executives.
That transaction would then show up in their financial statements, which are audited and publicly posted on that website. Meaning using the foundation’s money for something like a private jet would likely become public knowledge within a couple years and would do irreparable harm to the foundation’s reputation. Maybe they could hide it but good luck convincing everyone involved it’s worth the risk without a shitload of additional corruption.
Wear the garlic as a garland when you sleep. Make sure to explain to your help that it’s important and handcuff yourself so you don’t take it off in your sleep. It’s the only way to keep Dracula away.
A retiree. Aka boomer.
It’s in there
FTS? fuck that
