I can see the tax charges and I get that the behavior and consequences his device and/or software enables is bad on a few levels, but it's not clear to me that it should be illegal to sell something that allows others to modify th

This is a great game. My wife's family plays it. It's funny to watch new players realize how cheat-y the game is.

I'm suggesting this may be a viable alternative given that this has been a known potential issue for quite some time now and the aviation industry appears to be dragging their feet on replacing the faulty gear. It seems to me premiums

I'm no expert, but why can't we just add some regulation that says the insurance carriers will be responsible for any liability beyond 2024 (or whatever) and that they're free to charge whatever they want based on the make an

Well, I guess the question is what will happen when Not-Canada manages to achieve stable prices while Canada lets theirs "run hot." It seems to me the rest of the world would make sure to hang on to Not-Canadian currency while be

That's an excellent article that I think highlights a big chunk of the explanation for the recent labor shortage. While I'll admit I experienced a quick mental blip on the notion that someone might expect me to tip an amount that&

Sounds great to me. Why not manufacture plastics designed to degrade at increased rates in the presence of those enzymes? If turning plastics into compostables was easier, it might keep them out of the oceans.

Some of the author's complaints are legit, but they hardly constitute evidence of decline. First, I figured out how to do Django+Tornado in a day 8 years ago and PyCharm pays for itself over and over, every day. The rest of the argumen

Paypal actually did this to me for hiring an indonesian kid to sketch a t-shirt design for $50. Before I clicked send, I verified that Paypal said they'd send the money without charging a fee. He received it, minus the fee they claime

I've tried VR with my phone and it looked promising to me WRT resolution and clarity. I like the idea of a camera to let me see my workspace and I suspect with a few iterations it'll be amazing. Given what I do to my posture as a

I suspect this is a trend that'll continue as market buyers and sellers realize Amazon is a poor fit for certain of their activities. I already avoid Amazon as a consumer when the brand, quality, or delivery date really counts. But I a

Reading this makes me appreciate all the burglars out there helping us figure out how easy it is to break in to our houses and take all of our stuff, especially the ones who don't just take the TV and electronics, but who put out that

In a perfect world, I would agree that the work of a researcher who's not an established figure in the kernel community would be met with a relatively high level of scrutiny in review. But realistically, when you find out a submitter h

You make a fair point. I'm just saying that, while it might ultimately be interesting and useful to someone or even lots of someones, it remains a crappy thing to do and the consequences that UMN is facing as a result is predictable a

This feels like the kind of thing that "white hat" hackers have been doing forever. UMN may have introduced useful knowledge into the world in the same way some random hacker is potentially "helping" a company by pointi
