Do I understand it incorrectly or does it allow them to webstream my home address???

Gas valves famously use the opposite direction

A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health

Doesn’t frequent cleaning of sinuses cause irritation? I believe healthy sinuses should be mostly self cleaning. Of course if you have some long-term condition then it’s different

I don’t see a monospaced version anyway

hyperfixations

You probably mean “special interest”. Simplifying, hyperfixation is such a strong fixation on something that you absolutely can’t think about anything else.

I know it was different times, but if my kid was so afraid of not doing homework to the point of breaking into the house through the basement window, I would consider it a huge failure on my side.

Certainly loud, but I think the way forward should have been engineering a quieter version instead of going back to plastic. And in the meantime use idk… a bowl?

Edit: use a bowl, meaning put the crisps in the bowl when you open them if the noise bothers you

The linked blog post? I can’t find a word about what it does in it. Only how amazing the new version is and how difficult it was to make it. You can kinda guess from the post the purpose of the app, but nothing explicitly given

Don’t know for birds but apparently they can win a fight with snake because they have better reaction time. So maybe something similar is contributing here too

Can you send that one? I’m actually researching driverless printing right now

Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?

And if you have two phone numbers which you want to use for WhatsApp then you need to clone the damn app because they can’t even make such basic functionality

Joke on you until the python program segfaults

There are actually examples of quite big companies without CEO at all.

But it really depends on what type of company we’re talking about. In small and medium companies usually (not always unfortunately) CEOs do a terrific job and, depending on the company’s financial condition, might even earn less then some of their employees while bearing a huge responsibility (financial and moral).

Even in small companies it is sometimes a case that managers do all the work and the CEO is eating profits - there are stories where employees actually prefer the boss to not show up in the office because they only mess everything up.

Yet if we’re talking about big and huge companies then CEO existence is much harder to defend. If CEO disappeared then by pure inertia the company would work for at least months. Then there’s the Peter Principle and numerous studies how MBAs are actually rather bad boses, in which case if the company keeps existing or even growing then someone else is doing all the management.

And then, you can’t convince me that someone like Musk, who spends days on posting hateful tweets and attending meetings promoting reproduction, does a meaningful job at all.

What companies actually need is some decision making body. And that body doesn’t have to be a rich white asshole, but can be for example board representing (proportionally) all the groups in the company, which then can use deliberative democracy to make decisions. Virtually any other solution is better than old rich white sexists CEO.

I strongly recommend Freakonomics episode 495 “Why Are There So Many Bad Bosses?” which discusses this exact issue. Great listen as well!

They don’t say they won’t give change. They say that you will get as much grilled cheese as much money you give not as much you ask for.

Absolutely, and as it was the very first time I installed Linux, it basically meant reinstall

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

Don’t know from memory if that’s correct command, but you get the point
