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".

They sacrificed clarity for word play, but to me this means that no one in the story was stung.

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.
