Wouldn't that turn out to be a candle in a hurricane situation given the level of risk involved?

I suspect it’s more the end of an avenue than the end of the road, but it sure seems like throwing more data and compute is hitting diminishing returns on existing methods.

How is anyone to say what most of the activity of these agencies are without any oversight. That’s why the leaks happened in the first place, it was the only way to say ‘hey we need more controls on this stuff’. Unless you’re suggesting tha

This is going to be interesting for apps obeying desktop ui settings. But running any software on any platform might make up for it.

I've recently started thinking of businesses in similar terms to core game loops. Deep in the guts of every successful business there is one (or more) loops that keep the rest going. When I next try something i'll start with the l

Anecdotally some b6/b12 supplements have given both me and my partner very intense dreams and vivid recall. No idea what the mechanism might be (Or if it's a preservative/etc) but potentially an interesting data point?

I can see charging being built directly into parking buildings/apartment carparks and factored into the parking cost. Would be pretty convenient always being fully charged when setting out. At this stage parking buildings have maybe 4

Sorry, are you saying that working a 40 hour week shouldn't earn a living wage if it's a non-specialised skill?

If it's consistently as good as an average human that's still better than an average human. That's because robots don't get tired, hungover, angry, bored, drunk, or get an eyelash in their eye at a really bad time.

That's fair - however I've been hosting some of these sites since 2014 on bare metal VPS with minimal issues (the occasional upgrade breaking a theme). A lot of WP issues come down to server settings / bad plugins over WP its

Putting in a word for Sanity CMS, it's like contentful but more programmatic. It also doesn't need so much of the constant 'publish draft' button clicking.

I looked into WP Engine recently to see if I could transfer some older client websites, it's eye wateringly expensive!

I'm imagining if superconductors become widely used it will be in small quantities and for their unique properties that cannot be achieved otherwise. Not for minor benefits over alternatives?

Some of the hardest jobs are underpaid, and level of education means less than it used to. Nurses and scientists for example. Partner is a microbiologist PHD graduate and starting salary wouldn't be much different my self taught first
