While that would certainly be true for indie developers, I think it's laughable to suggest a company like Epic would lower their prices in response. They want that 30% for themselves. So I would take any claims from Epic that they are

I really don't agree with the idea that "alternative payment processors" are pro-consumer. This only benefits the developer, and I have huge privacy concerns with trusting third-party devs to handle my payment information. Th

This is a good question. I would argue you do it by creating policies to help all low-income families, irregardless of identity. Many government policies aren't just systemically racist (some indeed are), but are also systemically &quo

According to "Anti-racists", MLK's dream of "judging people by the content of their character" is now a racist dog-whistle. Not sure when, but eventually the shoe must drop and people realize this so-called "An

In that case it should inform the user about the accuracy of the location request.

This brings up an issue I wish iOS and Android would solve. Location data is always very specific, as accurate as GPS or Cellular triangulation can offer (down to the centimeter in some cases). However the vast majority of use-cases don&#x2

I can count maybe 5 people in the crypto space that would have that much BTC, but none of them would be dumb enough to put it all in one wallet. Most likely some large institutional investor decided to re-key their cold storage wallet.

I'm a proponent of only 1 simple rule: high min length. Most sites have min length of 8. Double that to 16-20. No max length, no other complicated restrictions regarding characters. This instantly takes care of brute-forcing as a reaso

Any thoughts on how someone could validate a set of cables to ensure no trojans exist?

Exactly. What is rarely mentioned is his exact quote on the reasoning for radar vs. lidar: “If you’re going to use active photon generation, don’t use visible wavelength, because with passive optical you’ve taken care of all visible wavelen

I'll play devils advocate. I'm fine with this being default assuming there's an option for advanced users to disable it. 95% of Chrome users will not notice or care about this change, and in fact will make things simpler for

Does anybody know how USB4 will impact this? Will any cable that will be labeled as USB4 need to be full spec, or will there be a similar situation of cables with varying degrees of compatibility all labeled USB4?

Touche. I agree, "only metric" is hyperbolic, but it is the main metric that determines future investments. This is why the most important number is $/MWh for "solar/wind + storage". Storage has to be included

Energy density and cost have almost no correlation. Gasoline is less dense, but I can package a gas generator into a small box for very little cost. Uranium requires a giant reactor the size of a small town and costs billions. $/MWh is

Batteries are much farther along than most realize, and decreasing in cost rapidly. 2019 will see the first GWh-scale battery installations (plural, as in multiple of them). Grid-scale lithium-ion battery storage is at the beginning of an e

Somebody gets it! It makes absolutely no sense to start building nuclear now. Even if you could guarantee 10 year build time at a fixed cost today (which you can't), by the time it is operational solar+storage will be even more economi
