Pretty sure that’s why they have it. It’s to courtesy so you don’t hear bathroom noises.
- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 1 week ago:
Yea, visiting Japan does feel like they are stuck in a retro vision of the future where everything by was going to be driven by buttons. There are buttons everywhere, including at your table in a restaurant and on every toilet too. The toilets even have heated seats, bidets, and play music, all driven by buttons. They also have vending machines everywhere, which are covered in buttons. Ordering ramen at a restaurant? Make sure you tap all the buttons at the machine in the front to make your order.
They still haven’t quite adopted the touch screen fully.
- Comment on Goodwill Isn’t a Platform (thoughts on the Digg beta) 2 weeks ago:
Checked it out. I don’t think they will ever provide API support given how much they want to tie AI into things. The app feels clunky to me and the user base is high on Kevin Rose and Digg nostalgia. Also, they keep very tight controls on which communities can be created, so that limits the degree to which it can be community-driven.

Enemy at the Gates (Stalingrad in France and L’Ennemi aux portes in Canada) is a 2001 war film directed, co-written, and produced by Jean-Jacques Annaud, based on William Craig’s 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which describes the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942–1943.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 3 weeks ago:
Part of this is related to how the 2017 tax law changed how companies can write off the costs of software development. Those rules didn’t kick in until 2022, which is when things started to get messy for the tech industry.

As I understand it, the rule reverted in the most recent tax bill this year. Of course, that will take some time to kick in. We are also in a recession, which no one is acknowledging yet. So, may take some time to recover.

- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 4 weeks ago:
It takes a bit to initially learn how to load, chamber a round, and disable a safety. Every new gun you handle will require relearning those things for the most part. Also, the first time you handle a gun you’ll probably be a bit intimidated by the whole experience and want someone to show you. I agree most kids would have been taught by an adult if they got so far as to shoot up a school. That said, if a loaded gun is lying around the house, someone can easily pick it up and do some damage with it without any training— at least until it is time to reload.

- Comment on Desiccant dehumidifiers are fascinating... but not for everyone [29:19] 1 month ago:
I watched this. It was of interest to me because I must run two dehumidifiers in my house and they use a ton of energy. Unfortunately, this desiccant dehumidifier would use even more energy. Hoping someday someone figures out how to build a more efficient one.
In the meantime, I think manufacturers need to build all dehumidifiers with a repeat cycle timer built in. I find it far more energy efficient to run for some period like 30 minutes till the humidity drops low — like 45%, then shut off for 60-120 minutes while the humidity slowly creeps back up until the cycle repeats. Most dehumidifiers work based on a humidity threshold and will constantly click on and off as the threshold gets crossed. In my experience, this uses a lot more energy and being in a high cost state is completely unaffordable.
