I seem to remember Tesla opening up a bunch of patents. As a guess, that should be near the top of the list

I've seen some pretty right-wing stuff on WSJ in the last few months.

Hey, don't knock him. I'd never thought about it before. Being taught or corrected is great as long as people aren't dicks about it. Even then it has some value :) I shall use this knowledge and endeavour to share it where po

Damn, did we ever get that one wrong.

This is not power. This is aid, planning, money, and ideally to show some semblance of leadership.

Excitedly read title of article. Disappointed upon discovering it's not that type of club, nor that type of swinging.

Unfortunately, the businessman involved is a moron.

1D is a line or vector, I believe. A waveguide for atoms would probably still be considered 1D I guess.

I should also add that I remember seeing some poll of Americans and this sort of "political correctness" or whatever you wish to call it, was the primary reason people said they voted for Donald Trump. Nothing official, some news

As with so many things these days, the internet gives people the ability to speak to millions of other people. The idiots and extremists seem to garner more attention, and therefore, generate ad revenue; so they have an even louder voice. I

Why? That seems like it would cause a lot of very oor people to suffer even more.

What's best for you and what will give more financial reward are not always the same thing.

Google does tend to be at the leading edge of stuff, both good and bad. This one, as a 'nobody user' sucks.

An awesome book that does still teach a lot of valuable lessons. Sadly, pretty much the same lessons it taught back when it was written. Maybe more people should actually read it.

I'm guessing the justification was intentional maliciousness.

Why the hell shouldn't they worry about practicality?

I've had my rant at someone already this year. A lawyer posting about legal documents saying "make sure you put all four digits in to avoid confusion" and the giving an example like 03/01/2020. Sigh.

The game client would be unmodified, with it running on an API layer that maps windows system calls to to their Linux equivalents. Their ant-cheat software finds this "suspicious" and boots the players.

In my (probably worthless) opinion, the two big problems affecting software industry are: - Organizations, especially large ones, now trust their process over their people. In the "old" days, when a production problem was identifi

If he didn't make a video that got some degree of internet traction, it's unlikely his problem would have been fixed.

I'm guessing that a few of us would be interested if you could build one. This sounds great.

There was also some chatter about the woman being a former CIA operative. The whole thing has smelled so bad right from the start.

I seem to remember that even when Cortana is shut off, it was found to be listening and sending telemetry back to Microsoft. Based on their past behaviour, I'd guess that even is it is "removed", those elements will remain.

This kind of thing is done on occasion. I remember the same being done to Newbridge at the start of the tech bubble, including short-sellers arranging damaging interviews with people who claimed they were executives with the company. It&#x2

This is a company that restricts what you can and can't install on your own device and you're surprised they're okay with authoritarianism?

I keep seeing this headline, reading the articles and being disappointed that none of them seem to differentiate between cannabis/tobacco oil vaping (e-cigarettes) and dry-herb vaping. Dry her has no other chemicals, and no fillers. It

It's not possible to enforce immigration policy the way some other people want without violating human rights.

If hackers would target this sort of information when required, I'd be quite happy. For ISP collecting browsing data for example, grab a few politicians histories and publish them. Bonus points for doing it through completely legal mea
