This page asked for a bunch of permissions without describing what it was going to do. I closed the tab almost immediately, as a reflex.

This data is highly suspect. Just last year they had “unknown” at 12%, and the recent macOS drop strains belief. Most likely this reflects increased bot activity.

Plagiarism has always existed in academia. What you’re witnessing is selective enforcement, where a group wanted her out because she was weak on antisemitism, and went digging for the dirt they needed. In this case, they struck plagiarism a

Reusable rockets have high up front design costs, as well as continuing maintenance costs. The engines themselves are also more expensive per unit, because they must be over engineered. This is like asking why a disposable diaper is cheaper

Humans tried to fly for thousands of years before the Wright Brothers. Things get better over time. Humans are improvement machines. So yes, I think it will be different.

This is GNU in a nutshell. Wacky stuff driven by wacky individuals. They didn’t invent open source, just twisted what already existed into an “ism”. In this case, Stallmanism.

Credit to Waymo, but it bears mentioning that Waymo also drives much more slowly than the comparable human driver. That helps a lot.

Being in the first batch wasn’t being in the right place at the right time. Look at all the failures in that batch. YC succeeded in collecting all the companies that were going to be founded anyway, but were too inexperienced/naive to

But Tesla sells a system which lulls the human brain into involuntary complacency. A mind cannot babysit a machine. Here, Tesla is the bartender.

In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice your sense of life to an enemy... that would claim your precious mind. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustra

Building more is a temporary fix. Within a few years the prices will be just as bad as now, if not worse, but now your city is full of ugly buildings and a ton of new people have occupied your roads, schools, beaches and forests. And then w

Doesn’t the third party doctrine and/or ECPA only require a subpoena, especially for old, partially delivered notifications? It seems like Apple and Google are daring law enforcement to sue so that they can establish a stricter precede

This is like saying you need to perform your own appendectomy because you care more about your body than the surgeon does. Do you also fly your own jumbo jet when you travel? Grow all of your own food?

That’s like saying Porsche has a monopoly on all red mid-engine German sports coupes. Apps run on pocket computing devices with phone and data connectivity. Two operating systems compete in that space.
