Yes!

This fugazi economy is all too crazy.

For me it's #353841 on #ffffff which meets WCAG AAA standards for accessible text.

The amount of punctuation and terrible sentence structure make this nearly incomprehensible.

I guess the first ten upvotes are people who just read the headline as the link is currently incorrect and doesn't actually show the article with this headline. Link should be update to https://thecoolingreport.com/intel/pfas-two-phase-immersion-...

Manufacturers know people do this. The TV will attempt to connect to any open network (neighbors) and I'd be shocked if they haven't at least considered packaging them with 4G/5G antennas. You're gonna need a Faraday Cage.

If you try to render tables with millions of cells the browser does a really poor job and the performance is abysmal. The only solution when you need to render that many cells is to virtualize the table and only have the visible cells (plus some buffer) actually in the DOM at a time. That plus weird restrictions browsers put on certain table elements (looking at you thead) that prevent them from being "sticky" headers means that the developer is left with absolutely positioned divs as the only solution. Blame browser vendors for not providing a native way to present tabular data with more than a few hundred thousand rows without causing performance issues.

You also miss out on standardized HTTP caching mechanisms since those don't work with POST requests.

Range (noun): a large box-shaped device that is used to cook and heat food, either by putting the food inside or by putting it on the top https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/range#ca...

"Products" would have had no such ambiguity.

The term "range" (in the context of a "home") typically describes a multi-function cooking appliance that features a rangetop for heating pots and an oven directly beneath it. Why is this page about lightbulbs? The subtitle even has the word they should've used instead of "range": "products".

Counter point: yes they are.

Would be funny if individuals could do the same. "Sorry IRS, even though my income is $100k, the cost of living took all of that revenue."

>But this does fall apart for very very large grids, as you get close to the height limit described in this article.

This was solved by a now unmaintained virtualization library that predates both of these libraries: https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized

The react-virtualized library works around this issue by scaling the the scroll position it sets for a row based on the ratio of "max CSS height allowed by browser" to "computed height of all rows" if the latter is greater than the former: https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized/blob/master/sou...

I can and do assume a monospaced font when using spaces to align code. Folks using variable width fonts will get what they deserve.

We're going on 45 years now.

Swamp coolers can't generally provide shade.

It's quite astonishing how complicated it is to draw lines in 3D graphics. As a novice it was a little unbelievable that the primitives for drawing lines was effectively limited to a solid screen-space pixel wide line. Want to draw a 2 pixel wide line? Do it yourself with triangles.

How could the authority determine what rate to charge? How could they know your net-worth? What if you're rich but someone not rich is driving (a chauffeur)?

I support not wanting a regressive tax, but there are just so many complications in trying to do that.

You may be disturbed to find out how much plastic is in contact with boiling hot water in your typical automatic drip coffee brewer.

I was recently trying to find one without plastic to replace the $25 all black plastic one I've had for years. The only one I could find without any plastic was one of those all metal Bunn ones you see at diners. It was more than $400! And even that still required you to purchase a separate all metal basket as the one that comes with it was plastic. And that coffee maker doesn't really make "good tasting" coffee. Any premium "good tasting" drip coffee maker will have plastic, and probably black plastic at that.

Is another regulation is also preventing the insurers from raising your insurance rates to cover the "fire risk"? Otherwise I'd say the insurer isn't acting logically. I guess I should've said that I believe the insurance companies are acting logically (and thus I don't blame them) instead of saying that the market behaving as it should.

The climate is changing and is affecting regions we knew would be impacted by climate change 30+ years ago. The insurance companies cannot make a profit (and thus would not choose to operate) in these areas now that they're being impacted by climate change. On one hand this seems like the market working exactly as it should be. People should've moved out of these regions in the last 30 years given the information about climate change, but they didn't.

On the other hand many of the people living in these regions don't really have the means to move away and they're the ones disproportionately affected by all of this.

What does lifetime mean here? Less burn-in? Or does the panel just die somehow?

The physical switch on my old iPhone to toggle silent mode stopped working and sometimes it will toggle itself. I had to setup the triple tap to toggle silent mode because the alternative is like 20 clicks deep in settings.

I'm sure it's not practical, but I always thought it would be interesting if instead of living "inside" a black hole, the visible universe was simply being consumed by a black hole so large it just encompassed everything outside the visible part. So no nesting, the universe just eventually gets consumed entirely by one black hole.

With the passage of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act which was signed into law on May 24, 2018, security freezes do not apply to the making of a credit report for use in connection with "employment, tenant, or background screening purposes" (see Sec. 301(a)(4)(I) of the Act [page 34 of the PDF below]).

To be fair, I'm not sure if the same rules apply to whatever type of "freeze" the work number offers. I'm not even entirely sure it's regulated at all.

The freeze is mostly ineffective for when you actually want it to work. From what I remember (even for the credit freezes) is that if you provide written consent to, say, a background check, then that overrides your freeze. So if you're applying for a job (basically the major instance where you'd want your salary information private) they're going to ask for your consent to do a background check and bingo they'll know how much money you make.

IMO this type of information should be illegal to sell or request.

Interesting. I have a mild phobia of needles and was perhaps projecting a bit when I suggested everyone would rather take the pill :)
