Many states in the South are dragging down the rest of the nation. Sorry. That creationism thing, that climate denial thing, and that extreme conservatism thing stunt progress in the rest of the country.

This is the downside of IoT. Give me devices and frameworks I can run myself. I don't want to be dependent on a third party for my god damn thermostat. (Which I now am. Going to look into it soon. Hoping it runs Linux so we can demand

On one hand, I want to bash WebAssembly because it takes away our ability to see what we're running on our own PCs. On the other, it helps us slowly get away from the mess that is modern JavaScript.

Dolphin is a masterpiece of engineering. The fact that it can emulate consoles so recent so well is a testament to the skill of the coders behind the project. They do an amazing job. I love reading the update posts.

I've been trying to tell people this for a while now. Bitcoin has to be the most wasteful software project ever made; I'm sure it has indirectly pumped millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere at this point. And for what? The b

It is still very much DRM, no matter how much people are okay with it.

Quora still requires you to sign up after reading one question. Why do people still link there?

Japanese copyright laws are backwards, even more so than in the US.

Jet charges less if you use a Visa or MasterCard debit card. I wonder if that violates the terms.

Nothing of value was lost. Good riddance. Of course, they may very well just end up under a new owner, which might change things... a little... hopefully.

Why not just use the US courts, then?

In the US, the signature means little; it must be ratified after the fact by a 2/3 vote of the Senate to come into effect. So - we have a bit of time to influence our lawmakers. It must be a huge, SOPA-level effort, but it can be done.

The Moto Z looks like an awesome phone. The lack of a headphone jack is a complete and utter deal-breaker. I'm not carrying a dongle around so I can use my headphones. (A quality dongle will need to have some size and heft; see the Sch

I want to love Tesla so bad, but stories like this remind me that they're still putting out an early-adopter product. I can deal with being an early adopter of, say, a phone, but a car? Where one little mistake can make the difference

Can we start panicking now? We need to get to 350 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere and we're above 400, with no easy solutions on the horizon.

It's "privacy" in the sense that it's nominally shielded from people you don't explicitly message, not Snapchat itself or nation-state actors. Not that it really shields from anyone, since people regularly take scre

I wonder what the numbers look like at Forbes with regard to blocking ad blockers. How far has their readership dropped? Is it negligible?

It's just their "Simple Choice" postpaid plan. The basic plan starts with 2 GB per line. First line is $50, second is $30, third through six are $10 each. Just go to their website then go to Plans -> Phone plans. If you&#x

Definitely interested in the software platform. Have been wary of Echo and Google's new thing due to privacy concerns... you're literally bugging yourself. Having all the logic run locally is a nice breath of fresh air. Although I

This is cool and all, but I'm worried that Google will just pull the plug during one "spring cleaning" event. Plus T-Mobile's $100/4 lines/2 GB per line is just unbeatable right now... cheaper and more data.

The amount of energy wasted by miners is atrocious. I wonder how many tons of CO2 have been pumped into the atmosphere thus far as a result? It just seems like a colossal waste, using all of this computing power to solve pointless math prob

Looks cool. ...too bad a ton of people are going to completely write this off because of the recent goodwill-burning Microsoft has been participating in. I wonder how their internal departments feel about this?
