These are vague and strawman criticisms that deny reality and that DNS can't solve everything itself. Who owns which domain will always be centralized if only one group or individual can own a particular name. Having multiple domain na

There's no solving infrequent social problems with technology, only socio-politically. I'm sure it does happen to a few people, but it sounds extremely rare. At least a mail-in ballot usually has a "receipt," (that seri

Voting by mobile is extremely problematic and shocking. 1. No paper record. 2. No privacy. A better way would be to use anonymous physical RFID pebbles that are placed in a container to indicate voting preference. Votes can be both weighed

Although true, Western meat agriculture isn't similar but different: zillions of animals, stacked one on the other and humans going in to clean up after them getting all that waste all over them. Either way, it's a bioreactor for

I've seen panic buying of face masks in Palo Alto and San Jose, mostly by people who appear of Chinese ancestry. I was doubtful on its efficacy, but it appears there is some benefit combined with hand-washing. It's probably a good

Giving them false information maybe an option.. or even "unintentional" misspellings, off-by-one phone numbers, disposable email addresses and vacant lots. IANAL: Btw, has anyone asked a lawyer if this is a crime in any state or c

It depends where you are, but a lot of people are struggling more because the very rich are using automation to eliminate jobs, take the extra money made for themselves and more easily move factories to other countries by chasing the cheape

Scrounging around for simulators or wondering how close it is to the real thing is moot because the 737 MAX is dead. The CEO is gone and there are more and more safety "glitches" being discovered. Even if they return them to servi

If this pans out to be true, it wouldn't be a shock given that they went along with PRISM. If you want e2e privacy, use Signal. You don't use Skype, Apple Messaging/Facetime (maybe), Telegram, TikTok, Periscope, Facebook Mess

The two best tricks I've found: 0) Getting antidepressants because you won't want to do anything much when you're depressed. 1) Getting meds if you have ADD because you will always be starting something else to never finish i

There should be a recycle redemption tax on memes so there's an economy to pickup outdated, displaced and discarded memes for their return value.

It's not UC Davis or Europe. Btw, if living near the main centroid of Davis, it's faster to bike than it is to drive or take a bus because parking + walking takes time. I even had the gate code to park right next to classrooms (it

I have a 3 year old pair of QC 35 (I), and actually prefer the ANC sensation and lack of city noises. I really do prefer this model from the dozens I tried precisely because their ANC seems be the strongest/best currently available. I

There are risks almost everywhere. I remember seeing a combined risks map that showed there was really only a small patch in the southwest devoid of all types of regional major disasters. There is no "perfect" place to live, and y

Think carefully and lock-it down (not as an afterthought), because unsecured IoT can be exploited to cause devastating harm. Phoning home should be disclosed and disable-able because you're opening up an attack surface and a privacy ri

Forking if it's mature and featured enough to justify it, but it maybe too unsafe broken to invest in rewriting large swaths of code. That's the perpetual trade-off of engineering decisions; whether to build, fork or buy.

Noice. To me, Gotham makes more sense because it depends on stable, whereas Rocket uses nightly. Anything depending on nightly seems inherently more fragile and un-future-proof (no pun intended).

There's a tendency for masses of people to eagerly follow strongly-opinionated people. I think such qualities are a big warning sign, especially if they're dramatic, engage in all-or-nothing thinking, unconvinced by evidence and&#

Poor people are broke and don't have good jobs with livable wages, so the average life quality is less for people at the very bottom. A fraction of people will turn to self-/other-harming-distractions like drug use, crime and misc

Lmao. I was thinking exactly this! ;@) It's too bad they didn't benchmark on multiple platforms because there's no Edge (stable) on Mac or Linux and the performance on other platforms likely isn't identical.

I see Walmart security people beating on RVs and trucks in the morning to annoy the people in them, even though these poorly-trained rent-a-cops aren't the police. That might actually be considered a hate crime in some instances since

I would scrape this thing off and park in different lots from then on. All you need is a half of a windshield wiper blade track stuck in to break the seal, and then throw this vulture capitalism cash-grab in the trash bin.

If someone takes out the SIM to use it for internet that they didn't have a right/permission to use, that sounds a lot like theft of services. It's usually a criminal offense, and that could follow someone around for years to
