I would love a search engine that had a -ecommerce option. Sometimes I want to buy shocks for a f150, sometimes I want to see how to replace it. What i don't want is to wade through all the ecom …

JumpCrisscross has entered the nuclear arms race

And the risk seems fairly small if you look at the numbers. But then you're some sort of conspiracy nut. In Philadelphia, half of the cases are in nursing homes, and more than half are of people …

I think people are more upset with the fact that they are unemployed and their states are locked down. The initial request from my governor was "2 weeks to flatten the curve". After two mont…

Just wait a few more years and you will have free delivery children. Oft of my childhood was the call to 'go get the pizza!'

Again it depends. Look at Church & Dwight, more known as the Arm & Hammer company. Their strategy of expanding all over the grocery store cleaning isle seems to have worked as they have a whol…

Imagine working for a business this far in the red. What's your runway? What's your CEOs track record? /s

So it's a slack like chat that runs in a VM in my browser? Sorry I read thier homepage and dont get it

Only people who can afford to be stupid are stupid. You're right. People who can't afford, or otherwise choose to be frugal don't tend to fall into these traps. You'll find people …

The average consumer has gotten dumber in regards to tech over the last 40 years. People have treated computers like appliances. When I meet a 70 year old that can't email, it's not 1995, th…

Do you think with 10+ million undocumented immigrants - a not insignificant portion of the population, but not citizenry - that people should not be concerned about ensuring only valid citizens can vo…

probably the fact that a good portion account deletes are users doing something they want to undo in the next few days. Soft deletes make this much easier, then going back and deleting anything older …

Shout out to visit(1) for lots of renames

That's roughly how the GM bailout worked. 'The government initially had a 61% stake in GM when the company emerged from bankruptcy in 2009, leading critics of the bailout to dub it "Gov…

That is extremely common no? Ex: checking out as an anonymous git user?

Those are the most common corona viruses strains that cause symptoms of the common cold (which itself is caused by something like ~200 known different viruses, the most prevelant being rhinoviruses). …

Well it reeks a bit because from the article "Mozilla could have opted for implementing support for secure FTP in Firefox; a bug was filed 19 years ago to introduce support for SFTP in Firefox bu…

I'd be shocked is most people on this page who are fully employed devs/techs/etc in the US do not already donate roughly 45% to the government. SS and Federal, plus state (3% for me, an…

I was under the impression that we had DOT bumper regulations that the bottom of the bumper couldn't exceed 24 inches. I was brought to this attention when a school bus decided to backup and went…

I guess the implication that the US military and also non discretionary fund won't be reduced based on the last 50 years of data is probably a status quo bet.

Probably totally possible with late 80s tech in ECUs. They already had dynamic spark retardation and fuel maps that changed based on rpm/speed/other factors. Freevalve to me is another natur…

Fined for practicing engineering without a liocense. Institutions will always protect themselves but this is absurd

Keto works well in my opinion because of the way humans self negotiate. It's far easier to have a list of yes/no items. No fries, bread, burgers versus calorie counting every food (even in s…

Sounds like a good business opportunity. In general many brands are involved multiple price point markets. Eg: a liqour company sells a high quality expensive bottle and also remarkets under a differe…

how about single working adults? I have to literally take off of work to go to the DMV.
