I find AllSides to be a good way to get a recap across the spectrum of opinion, without someone trying to force an opinion of their own. https://www.allsides.com

The reality that I've seen and experienced is that advancing beyond that on an IC track means a lot more people/political work, rather than constant "hands on keyboard" coding as described in the article. This is my st

Their entire argument for this also applying outside the military domain seems to be that the military is a very large employer… That seemed a bit shaky to me as well. You could just as well argue that people who are happy to go to war en

Isn’t that last scenario basically what the competitors do? The problem is not the airtag, it’s the find my network. Anything that can be tracked through the find my network can be used for malicious purposes. It is apple’s USP but also its

My favorite question has been on there since the beginning though. Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide? I am always tempted by the imp of the perverse to answer yes.

GDPR applies to the data subject (the person visiting the site). It doesn’t matter where the website is hosted, it matters who visits it.

Well, what if there is someone waiting in the wings who could do an even better job? Cook did better than Jobs, and nobody expected him to.

I can agree about Musk being essential to the success of his companies. Zuckerberg strikes me as more of a "right place at the right time" kind of guy and many people in the same place would have done as well or better. Bezos ...

The counter argument is that Tim Cook is not 1447x more responsible for apple’s success than the average apple employee, because there are no doubt many people within apple who contributed greatly to that success. It is also not a given nob

So, what is the fundamental difference for me as a user between google chat's integration into gmail, and google talk's integration into gmail that they added back in 2006 and removed 7 years later? Both were chat features that al

Stackoverflow can and has run on a single MS SQL server instance. Modern RDBMS’s on recent hardware can handle pretty ridiculous loads.

From seeing the difficulties containerizing java application servers at my own workplace I would say the hard part is making the application server stateless without sacrificing performance. Much of the older java (EE) ecosystem seems to as

For technical content I had great results from using safari books online in the past. Having most tech literature an easy web search away was super convenient, because typically the best treatment of any subject is in book form. The downsid

Anything that really matters will pass by you multiple times in different ways. So, while some of those tabs that collect during the day no doubt have value, arguably none of them are worth keeping.

In the tech sphere, what you are saying does not seem to bear out. Tech mergers or buyouts often reduce the value of the combined companies from what it was when they were separate, and usually don't create economies of scale. Tech buy

As others have pointed out, ITER has this kind of funding, and it is not the only nuclear fusion research program. It is unclear whether more money will accelerate. As for green R&D in general, the EU is massively investing in hydrogen

But nuclear power is also not predictable, as plants regularly experience unexpected downtime. No power source is fully predictable, which is why you need controllable power sources to make up the difference. I would say solar’s problem is

But you still have to send users to the share menu to actually add to the home screen which is not obvious. In other mobile browsers you can show them a prompt.

Sometimes it is for historical reasons, sometimes it is out of necessity. For example, Belgium has an aging nuclear fleet that provides 40% of the electricity supply. 5 of the 7 GW of capacity has to be closed down in the coming years. All

Free society means limited government, and the only way for the government to be in favor of that is for the government to vote against its own interests. I would argue that a free society protects people’s rights, and this is impossible

The only way is rewriting the front-end in a different framework. If you can, you probably should do it all at once. If doing it all at once is too much work, you can look at web components as a technology to have both in the same page. Ang

I also think the raspberry pi 400 is your best bet right now. It has that feeling of being an 80’s computer, but it boots to a modern graphical desktop with lots of open source educational software that they can do explore freely. If you wa

HTML5 has an XML serialization, so if you really must you can use XHTML5 today. But I think for most people it is in general a bad idea. XHTML parsed as XML means that anything that mashes together strings to generate a webpage, like much o
