It's not. There's an under-appreciated NPM module which is/was shared by Socket.IO that only handles the low-level WebSocket protocol for NodeJS: https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket.io You can use t

Water pipes, phone lines, and electrical lines are built into your house too and you're not usually forced to sign up for the monthly services if you don't want them. Fiber would be the same way, the lines would be in the ground

You don't typically call publicly owned infrastructure a monopoly. Public utility companies are created to prevent exactly what's going in broadband internet service. If the city owned the lines, it would put all ISP's on a

I really don't feel sorry for anyone who work(s)(ed) for Zynga. This company milked the whole "social gaming" bubble for every drop it was worth. Every game they made was a clone of this or that, and they used every spam trick in the book

I would've been tempted to modify the lift such that the entire desk could retract into the floor, leaving an open area when it's needed.

you are guaranteed nothing important is only stored locally. That's what scares me the most. Unless I have the option of not using Google's infrastructure, and can run my own "ChromeOS Storage/Auth Server" on a computer of my cho

Why stop at Obamacare? It's much, much smaller than Medicare, Social Security, the US armed forces, DHS (+ all the related bureaus), the Federal Reserve, IRS, US Treasury... essentially the entire US government is a collection of dysfuncti

This is what bureaucracies do, they grow, more complex, more political, more expensive, and exponentially harder to dismantle. Everyone knew that once Homeland Security was created it would become a sprawling, pervasive, and never-ending d

I think if your intention is to encrypt your video content then you really have no business being on the web in the first place. Just build a native app and do whatever you want, and stop trying to bend open standards to be compatible with

Have you even tried transfering money around with bitcoins? It's amazing. Absolutely amazing. The price of bitcoins is irrelevant and uninteresting compared to the way it facilitates transactions. It is incredible technology, potentiall

I don't believe the argument that a deflationary currency, by itself, will make people not be willing to buy things. Consider a savings account - why would anyone take money out of their savings account to buy things? If all you need to d

$700 Billion for banks. $2 Billion to convert all cars to electric. Something smells fishy here.

Except you don't typically hear that about public utilities. Have you ever heard someone argue that their sewers should be sold to private corporations to operate because that would be cheaper? Private enterprise can do it so much be

Can we also get something like this going in urban and suburban areas where cable/dsl ISP's underserve and overcharge for their broadband internet. Let's just take these government-backed monopolist corporations out of the loop entirely an

This may in fact be the case for this new Xbox. That at least would be reasonable.

If you take all Canadians 18-65, you'd maybe have 20 million in sales. Apple sells that many iPhones in a month.

FYI, in case the author sees, on MacOSX the key combo Right + Ctrl switches desktops, so shooting fireballs doesn't work.

Agreed. I think this hire by Google is largely for PR. If Google was very serious about A.I. I think they would have just acquired Jeff Hawkins' Numenta and his neuroscience crew, who have real, practical "brain-building" experience.

Alan Turing was treated really, really horribly by the government of the UK. I very much doubt he would like to be honored by the exact people who persecuted and destroyed his life.
