Couldn't they take the Google money, invest it, and pay developers purely from the interest? Like a university endowment? How many years of Google money would it take to support ~500 staff purely for making Firefox in perpetuity? That&

It's still bizarre to me that Google was ever allowed to purchase DoubleClick (even though DoubleClick was far more evil).

I went from a low profile scissor switch keyboard to a K5 Pro and, while it's not the same, I'm also happy with the outcome. There's still some relearning because key placement is slightly different (sometimes I hit spaceba

This is only very recently true (and disregarding the "well off" part). Women probably authored over 50% of books starting sometime in the 2010s. [1] And dominate might still be too strong of a word to use, though it's li

US residential electricity usage per capita has been relatively flat for a decade or two[1] so I think efficiency increases can offset higher usage. In regards to Netflix I suspect there's a streaming bandwidth plateau we will hit (i

So in ~5 years they've launched 5113 satellites[1]: 2 * 400 kg + 60 * 227 kg + 1665 * 260 kg + 2987 * ~300 kg + 399 * 800 kg = 1663 metric tons So if they all burned up today it would be around a 6% yearly increase, globally? (1663 &#x

Gas stations can't pump if they don't have power. That's generally why there's a lack of fuel. Sometimes they have backup power or power companies prioritize them. In the south, local media will help notify which gas sta

I think implying people aren't able to adequately prepare for hurricanes in Louisiana is begging the question. I've lived here for almost 40 years, through a lot of hurricanes, and that is not my experience. Sure, some shelves mig

Even chunks are checksummed. Or at least they are in third party implementations. [1] One thing that happens is some games keep config files in their game directory instead of using a host OS user directory and thus those games will fail va

But think about why you're now using Discord instead of IRC or a forum: it's because of the users who were also pulled in for the core VoIP feature and because users would rather use one program than multiple. I didn't stop u

Discord's key features are chat and VoIP. File sharing is barely meaningful, except that it means not needing to use external image hosts for gifs/memes/pet pics. Discord's initial pull was from gamers who were using t

I think there are a lot of issues with law enforcement in the US but using Uvalde to generalize to all police is a bit unfair. There are plenty of counter examples where police responded rapidly. For example the Nashville school shooting[1]

My issue at that point in DSP is that performance severely degrades (and save files get huge too). You're penalized for building big dyson spheres (and even more penalized if you have graphics turned on for them). You're penalized

I don't think this is true for all of us, possibly not even for most people in the US. I know plenty of people who took lower paying jobs because they valued other things more than "growth": quality of life, family, passion,

Oh for sure, IRC has a similar problem (except there are no images hosted on IRC). But if the analog for a "private" Discord server is a private IRC server then in one you're trusting all the employees and in the other you&#x
