Malaria is one that comes to mind. We can prevent it, have eradicated it from many countries, but the long tail will take a few more decades to reach planet-wide success. There are charities that specialize in analyzing climate data to see

Not every engineering effort is a product in search of market fit or a community. Some things are already very useful as just a one shot. I just made a quick app to help me pack for a trip, it updated forecasts every day, let me know when

I went through the multi-step process for the bananas last year. It failed to validate me during the purchase window. Their support never responded to me (it's been 9 months now). It was a stupid flow that sent me from email to comput

The teams have always been 32 tax paying companies. The NFL central office was a 501(c)(6), but the tax savings from that was negligible. In fact, when they changed their status over a decade ago, they now no longer have to submit a 990 and

This doesn't feel much different than words. There was a whole ordeal at Microsoft when an intern said an event was going to be "lit" and a bunch of older generation folk assumed that meant drugs. Language changes all the tim

These aren't anti-AI comments. We're on a forum talking person to person. It is antithetical to just spout "AI said this" repeatedly when the entire point of this place is human discourse. It's like having a group c

UWP was limited because it was the subset that could run on PC, Xbox, Phone, and HoloLens. Being able to make one responsive app and deploy it across that ecosystem was pretty awesome. But when you kill the non-PC platforms, you're ju

It's not the same, but I don't know if it's worse. My IRQ conflict resolution skills or knowledge about himem.sys aren't really useful these days. But I've seen genz kids do incredible things with Minecraft mods and

I just wanted to look so I had context. Annual production of butter in the US is over 2,060,000,000 pounds. These aren't new rules and are in place to literally save lives. Are people really "sick and tired" of .003% of the b
