   Is this why the everything besides the front page still looks like someone's first website from 1998?

   On the upside, we'll be slightly safer from alien invasion when we stop blasting RF into the void.

   Tiny cameras will always be limited in aperture, so low light and depth of field will be a challenge.

   So should we recruit more men to college or more women to trades?

   On a related note, I've always wondered if straight ahead 60 to 0 braking tests were relevant to anything. Not many accidents happen where a driver is just unable to completely stop and end up hitting the other car at 10 mph. I would t

   More like since Deng Xiaoping initiated the modern Chinese economic strategy in the '80s to control the West through trade.

   MDs most definitely have incentives to intervene as much as possible. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_value_unit If you ever wonder why some doctors order any test they can possibly, even remotely, justify,

    Also true with Nethack. I will forever regret reading spoilers before I seriously tried to ascend.

    I think also they put something in for the parents so reading the same book over and over and over to your kids isn't as boring.

    When declining the cookies sent me away from the website, I decided it wasn't worth my time anyway. What an extremely hostile user experience for such a seemingly innocuous website.

    Apple is pretty bad. They nuked all 32-bit support at some point, which made almost my entire Steam library unplayable until I cobbled together a Windows box. When coupled with the idiotic UI design direction they have taken the last 10 yea

    That is a really strange plot. It looks like they are fitting a really high order polynomial to what is more or less a linear or maybe quadratic trend. And the overfitting exaggerates the recent trend.

    I love the idea, but the site seems to have ligatures turned on, which screws up the rendering for some of the fonts but not others.

    For music streaming, maybe. For all of the other content, you can't be serious.

    I'm sad about how smartphones have turned out. The effects are entirely dependent on how they are used. If used as a portable information retrieval device, camera, and communications tool, they make us smarter than ever before. But it
