That erratic pulsating sensation on your legs after a brisk walk- what is it? And more questions
  • I heard it was due to greater blood flow to areas that routinely don't experience that level of flow, kind of like how you really notice the breeze on your face after you shave off your beard. Now, I don't have any proof this is it, but a month or so of regular brisk walks should be enough for your cardiovascular system to adapt to the new requirements, causing the sensation to vastly reduce if not disappear completely.

  • Paris wants an AC-free Olympic Village. Team USA and others aren't so chill with it
  • Heating/cooling works better with a heat sink, such as concrete. Water is also heavy, so laying it on top of the floor is far easier than suspending it from the ceiling. Also, in many places you will want to both heat and cool, and running heating and cooling in different locations costs up to twice as much. The easiest solution is to move the air, so fans do just fine.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • My computer doesn't support Win11, so I have that going for me. Transitioning to the Steam Deck for my gaming, which has been a slow but mostly positive process. Some of the games don't play well outside of Windows, but none of the ones I really want to play, and I can always switch to my computer if I do.

    I don't think I'll ever own a Win11 computer.

  • Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp
  • It's true you will never get rid of all of it but, just like crime, basic enforcement is a deterrence. They know who's buying, they know where they're shipped, they have a fair idea if they're returned. Just requiring reviews to be from purchasers after they've received the product, removing positive reviews for returns without replacement (or flagging them as returned), and a few other steps would make fake reviews either very expensive or very expensive for the results.

    The fact is, Amazon makes most of their money on AWS, and I don't think they care to put in the real effort to make their marketplace trustworthy again. Without that, it will continue its downward spiral.

  • A cool guide to sushi etiquette
  • This feel like the whole "chefs are insulted if you order well done steak" thing. I get the sentiment, and you probably can't show the limits of your skill with a well done steak, but the customer isn't going to enjoy it more if you give them what they don't want.

  • Corpos being corpos
  • You specifically said you chose the MIT license because you wanted to use it in commercial projects. That's business, no matter how small. As the owner of the property, you could have used any and all licenses available to you. Also, if you wanted to require users of your code to attribute or notify you, you could have. If you want to be disappointed in their behavior that's perfectly fine, too. Corporations usually disappoint if you have any altruistic expectations of them.

  • Corpos being corpos
  • Here's the core issue. The developer didn't know his rights, and made a mistake. I'm not criticizing, people make a career dealing with crap like this. But if you want to make a business out of something, it's worth it to do some research or talk to a lawyer. I believe the MIT license has its place but, from what the OP said, this isn't it.

  • Putin warns South Korea: Sending killer weapons to Ukraine would be a ‘big mistake’
  • At that point you're kind of arguing that there was only one World War with a 20-year armistice. I can see what they mean, and certainly tensions are escalating, but we've still made a concerted effort to not drag more people in while limiting the expansion of Russia's territory.

    In 5 or 10 years we will be talking about how we avoided the Russia-Ukraine conflict expanding into another world war or we will be talking about how these were the first stages of that conflict.
