- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 hours ago:
I’ll grant you that, but are you implying that a large fraction, maybe close to half, of my coworkers are disabled? Surely there are other reasons.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 hours ago:
I hear what you’re saying, but not once have I ever seen somebody with lots of tabs be able to find what they’re looking for in those tabs. They almost always click through several, then open a new tab and navigate to the content they need.

- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 4 days ago:
That comes out to $1.37 a day. I definitely think hardware should last way longer than that, and I even have computers running at my house that are over 12 years old, but $1.37 a day for something that most people use as much as their phone is not a bad deal. In this economy, that’s like half of a gas station soft drink, or like 10 miles worth of gas.

- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 1 month ago:
I don’t understand this. With $1300 can’t they just buy the thing they are hoping to get? Is a big part of this paying for the thrill of winning, but never experiencing that?

- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 months ago:
Read the book The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Or better yet, listen to the Carey Elwes (Westley from The Princess Bride) read it on audiobook. It tells all about charlatans and conmen, and how to be skeptical and detect their bullshit. It’s the kind of book you can skip around in too, so it’s an easy read, not too weighty, but with lots of great info and stories.
Carl Sagan was amazing.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’d still like to see numbers before taking a stance.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 2 months ago:
Tha was my first thought too, but I’m not so sure. I’d love to see data on it. I did a quick search and couldn’t find any numbers, but I did find articles talking about Amazon requiring exclusivity in some cases. ingramspark.com/…/amazon-exclusive-options-create…

lol, this reminded me of the MS surface parody. “Instead of using one of today’s more popular compact devices to get directions to where you’re going, why not use a device the size of a small car to do the same job?”

- Comment on OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots! 2 months ago:
It’s so ironic that valetudo doesn’t support roomba considering roombas used to be a hackable robotics platform, even selling the robots without the vacuum components, with many models of vacuums shipping with serial ports right on top.
- Comment on Businessman, 44, avoids jail despite raping girl, 15, while she slept on flight 2 months ago:
It’s sad that I have to be amazed to see them calling the act “rape” or calling the girl “a child”, but good for them.
is not allowed to engage in any activity consisting of regular contact with children for the rest of his life.
I hope this flight would be included in that description, but my guess is that there’s nothing preventing him from sitting next to another child on a flight. If so, that’s a remarkable oversight.
- Comment on The AI vibe shift is upon us 2 months ago:
And while it’s too soon to declare August 2025 the start of the AI winter, or the AI correction, or the AI bubble bursting, or whatever slowdown metaphor you prefer, it is undeniable that a series of industry stumbles is making investors, businesses and customers do a double-take.

- Comment on How the rise of Craigslist helped fuel America’s political polarization 3 months ago:
Dang, TIL!
The short-lived operation used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants—some of them American citizens—from the United States.
- Comment on How the rise of Craigslist helped fuel America’s political polarization 3 months ago:
We study these questions using the staggered introduction of Craigslist (CL)—the world’s largest online platform for classified advertising—across U.S. counties between 1995 and 2009.
So well before TACO Don was even a candidate.
