That wasn’t the claim: it was that the tocks always outpace the ticks. One area that this extremely obviously does not align with is immigration. Privacy is another area in steady decline for generations. It’s very reasonable to consider th

Why is this relevant though? This project is so minimal that forking it at any point since it started “mainstreaming” and implementing any functionality that came after would have been utterly trivial.

I think the larger concern is containment breach via sabotage and the resulting material release, definitely less than ideal if these things are put under random buildings where you have little perimeter control.

Growing up, I always thought it curious that my hometown in central Illinois operated only on UHF stations (19/25/31/43/47 I think) despite the fact there was no major metro for over 100 miles in any direction, where whe

Well Apple seems to be able to largely avoid these staffing whiplash problems… I mainly call them problems because hugely scaling your org up and down on a whim is extremely inefficient when your recruiting and onboarding costs are high. Su

The strategic mistake is that they don’t have any other good ideas to deploy these folks toward. A company of this size and financial condition in technology with exceptional leadership should not be out of good ideas.

Often offensive and also often defensive of others.. so if renaming is on the table, it’s probably most apt to call it the Dept of Security since the vast majority of what it does is maintaining the security umbrella that has helped suppres

Definitely reasonable to question oneself in this way. But realistically, if someone is unwilling to engage with you about policies that negatively affect you, but instead offer their prayers, that "perhaps..." is working overtime

Yeah the whole cognitive disconnect that advertising is anything other than serving an expensive product to rich people deserves a smirk at minimum.

Health is imaginary, life is imaginary, this is all imaginary. There’s no point in drawing an arbitrary line in the sand for what our purpose is or lecturing us on what we should be focusing on. We have seen, again and again, business encro

Some of the perks were great even for prime if you're already bought into the Apple ecosystem. 3% cash back plus 0% APR installment on Apple product purchases is a nice double dip that most cards can't touch unless you're rea

Surely there’s some wiggle room in between “I just do not like businesses” and “businesses that are convicted of causing some amount of damage to society should not exist” At some point, recovery needs to take a back seat to deterrence.

Until the government decides someone you love needs to get disappeared, and then you want to provide no aid to them. This technology swings both ways and as such is too dangerous to exist. We have plenty of other means to instantly and broa

Core memories for me were my pc builds for the Athlon Thunderbird and later the Athlon 64 FX-60. What an experience it was to fire those machines up and feel the absolutely gigantic performance improvements.

If the distinction is that the US watercraft are military and as such are not subject to customs, then making it clear that returning astronauts are not on a military mission sends a diplomatic signal.

I welcome you to point out the discrepancies if I am mistaken. Targeted classes is a common term in the context of regulations where certain bodies receive a change in protections or restrictions. This executive order is trying to overrule

In yet another parallel universe, in-app advertising doesn't exist and paid purchases have a flat-fee commission commensurate with the cost of providing that service.

That advice sounds to me like it’s more for “an entire world where all people are in a bad situation from which they will never escape and neither will their next of kin” but if that comes to pass, the lighthearted talk of embracing the mis

Those quotes around monopolized are really doing some heavy lifting considering that it is utterly trivial to use alternative marketplaces on (edit: flavors of) VS Code. Seems to me this is plainly the community wanting its cake and to eat

Letting unchecked greed guide decision-making is not a new phenomenon that came out of Web 2.0 though. To use your metaphor, the heroin was human attention. Web 2.0 was, at best, the syringe.
