Well, the investment dollars are spent on the customers for the most part, though also on salaries and equipment. But the lions share of the value is going to the shareholders (eg employees and investors)... and they have liquidated and wil

I wasn't trying to be hyperbolic, I've only been delayed by a side show once in my neighborhood by the Chase center -- I've never been blocked by a self driving car. I'm sure everyone has different experiences, but the c

I've been held up longer by side shows at intersections than driverless cars here. Not that SF is the lawless hellscape the media pretends is the case, but I do think it's a bit rich that city officials are pointing fingers at fai

I feel like the fact this person, per the article, is a white supremacist who used the n-word in his code repeatedly is under-discussed here. Folks here jumping through hoops to rationalize why what he did is actually demonstrative of eithe

I'm definitely too dumb to understand this, but it was an interesting read.

Regarding the second LAN port and proprietary cable — standard RJ45 ports are not waterproof, especially if they’re delivering almost 100W (the max load of this new dishy). I expect that plays into the decision making here; also, selling a

I'm legitimately bummed that the ability to control all my speaker volumes at once is a patented technology that I now no longer have access to.

Thanks! It's funny how a few hours a week on a little side project can yield some interesting dividends.

I harbor serious doubts that most of the 'volunteers' here know exactly what it is they're providing -- the sign-up sheet probably didn't say "we will know very specifically your porn-watching habits" e.g.
