ETH (which was commonly thought to be true) implies P≠NP.

Re:Microsoft Teams is a red flag
on Sunday October 18, 2026 @12:08AM (#50137837)
Is Teams actually worse than Slack? Slack can't even reliably deliver messages.
I've had instances on all tiers of Slack plans on all clients where messages just disappear for days at a time and then come back to gaslight you.
ed: I tried to see if this is fixed and it doesn't look like it. Your IT team might have to write "help" articles like this one. Note that I've had this experience on other platforms.

Re:A font that reads what you wrote
on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @11:48AM (#49803244)
other than the fact that the headline is misleading (this isn't what anybody would think of as a font), the concept misses the point of emphasis.
adding emphasis to words in unformatted text draws the reader's attention in ways that are not implied by the text itself.
you cannot figure out which word to highlight with the raw text "I didn't say he stole the money", but the semantics are completely different depending on if/where they exist.
you already have a mental model of surprise. adding visual noise to destroy what is already part of reading just makes things bad. the reason why syntax highlighting is successful is that the semantics are rigid. natural language is explicitly not that.

All of this text complaining about prices rising faster than other goods, but many of the listed ski resorts suffer from overcrowding.
If anything, ticket prices during peak times are too _low_. There's just too much demand.

Paying taxes isn't optional. Sure you can invest more in the stock with external funds but that's not a fair proposition. If you were to tell me there's a certain chance of a stock going up by 100% we could also just buy calls with those magic funds and make far more money.

There are grounded duckheads for this purpose, e.g. https://amzn.to/4cnzuef (note out of stock. I guess your best bet is to use a UK duckhead, but half of those have a dummy ground...)
if you take the plug part from the brick you'll note that there's only two pins but the button-like thing is a ground
as noted in a sibling, the power adapter extension cable does plumb the ground through (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mw2n3ll/a/power-adapter-e...)

ugh the most annoying thing about the conversation clash latency is that the person causing the issue just thinks others are being weirdly rude.
wireless headphones externalize the cost of latency to other conference participants. if you think your airbuds are "perfectly fine" it's because you're not the one paying the cost.

latency is absolute killer. then there's also the fact that splitting the output is difficult, pairing (especially multi-pairing) is finicky
but the real response is "what's wrong with a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter"
tbh maybe this service doesn't want you as a customer if you can't figure this out. it seems like you'd be an above-average support burden
