Thunderf00t with another brilliant debunk. These problems could be solved by having the Hyperloop operate at 1 ATM - but then what advantage does it have? Could the action of pulling the air in front of the tube to the back create a lower p

People who write jailbreaks would love to get paid, I'm sure. In China, shady stuff like this won't get anyone sued, at least if they don't rip off anyone from within China. Do the math. I used to jailbreak, but then I realiz

This is meaningless, a single Minecraft world is practically infinite and "bigger than Earth".

Students aren't the only casualties. Universities used to be (a while ago) places for enlightenment, learning for the sake of enhancing one's life, not just for teaching skills. Now they are almost exclusively for vocational train

Puts in perspective our problems. Not that our problems aren't worth fixing, it's just a stark reminder that some places in the world remain uncivilized.

Just an anecdote... a professor whose classes I've taken, which were fantastic, recently got tenured. In the liberal arts, too! I like to think that tenure isn't quite dead yet. Depends on the college, naturally. (I deliberately u

Another day, another CA problem. I'm almost desensitized to it at this point. Despite the fact that these problems are potentially Web-breaking.

SwiftKey user here. Their technology is great. I've always been wary, though, that it's basically a keylogger. Just checked... crap, I forgot to turn off the sync feature.

A long time coming. Microsoft failed to capitalize on smartphones before Apple and Google and now they're paying the price. That's their perennial problem. They had an app market, smartphones, tablets... before the above, but they

You know, at first I figured I'd use the original site, but I'm on mobile and the formatting is atrocious.

This is an interesting article. I find it a bit curious though that Niantic hasn't solved these problems for itself, given that they already had Ingress before developing Pokémon Go. Of course, Ingress is miniscule in comparison; I won

It's not just that the site was that way, a free-speech zone, for many years. It was their official policy. They were quite pretentious about it as well, leading the reddit community to believe that this would be the permanent policy.

How about - don't write code that will directly be sold to an oppressive regime?

I don't understand how the DMCA, whether you see it as good or bad, can be Constitutionally sound. I somehow doubt the interstate commerce clause can justify it, especially since it affects transactions that only occur in one state.

What's the deal with the pollution? Are you worried about your long-term health? China sounds great and all (well, except for that whole "totalitarian government" thing) but I'd never trade my well-being for money.

Yeah, I remember Adafruit pushing NeoPixels for a while. I'm sure the margins are pretty high.

Law enforcement can triangulate ham radio signals. From what I understand it's relatively easy to do in the US.

I'm sure the lawyers looked over everything very carefully.

The problem isn't necessarily the companies, it's that the government is in league with the companies and/or outright owns and runs them, so people are concerned about the Chinese government having their data. I am too, and

Expensive. Expensive expensive expensive. They would have to replace all of the turnstiles (for some reason I doubt they could retrofit them) which is a ton of turnstiles. The MTA subway is BIG (as far as I know, bigger than SF and Boston

It's, at the very least, a cool, novel use for Vulkan.

How long is the fad going to last? I'd guess 3-4 weeks. (I mean, there will always be players, but not like the phenomenon it is now.)

He's referring to a certain trick used to create neat transparency effects on CRTs. Like this one: http://i.imgur.com/9pI7cK3.png Of course, that was most certainly intended, and the effect could be seen on any CRT (af
