If you’re young, take all your chances in your 20s. I started my company when was 23 and it’s provided for me ever since. I’m in my 30s now and if I had waited until I settled down and had kids I would have been very tempted to make the “sa

Life is too short for advice like this, it really is. Then again I’ve rarely had the discipline to stay put and make a short term sacrifice for long term gain when it comes to my daily work. It is critically important to me to be fulfilled

I have felt a sting many times over the years just below my palm on my right wrist. At first I thought Apple had just designed quite the sharp edge on the MacBook but over time I realized it was a slight electric shock.

Maybe when nearly everyone's dirt is leaked and public then no one will actually be dirty.

Some days I really feel like I embody the "fuck up on most of it" part.

Yes we totally can. Honestly, the idea of telemetry is general enough that it can and should be legislated. At the very least products should advertise that they produce telemetry when connected to the internet and have an option or have to

It sure does. Greater control, lower costs! What’s the downside?

It totally is. I was just being nostalgic.

Call me old fashioned but I expect games to come on physical media, be able to enjoy multiplayer on a LAN and be able to enjoy them long after the company who created them is gone.

Also agree.

The only true way to go. Honestly nothing has made me consider going device free like all of the telemetry these days.

I sincerely desire to avoid having a mobile, internet connected device that equips many sensors and cameras in my home that is designed, manufactured and supported by a Chinese company.

Wow....I was expecting $50k-$60k. I have no idea how they expect this car to sell unless they're taking the boutique "roadster" approach that Tesla did to get a foot in the market. The difference between this and the Roadster

Also, the far more dangerous thing in a vehicle is someone's personal phone, which I admittedly use far too often when driving.

Model 3 owner. It really doesn't present a safety situation for me. I glance at the screen for speed and maps as you would a dashboard. I use the click wheels on the steering wheel to adjust music, volume and autopilot speed. It's

I really don't love being negative all the time, but this project is going nowhere. Boring rock in this way is a permanent "we're 5-10 years away research project." They've coupled a never ending research project wi

It is a little absurd that I could have to repurchase each game on each console / platform. I’d be willing to pay a game developer a premium for a universal license that works on all platforms. Steam, Switch, Stadia, etc for example. I

I have always dreamed of having an iPad Pro be my main machine. When docked with mouse keyboard and second monitor: Runs MacOS When on the go with touch screen: Runs iOS Clearly the hardware is capable of it.

Yes but if Steam shut down you’d have no way to get to the installers again and you’d be left crossing your fingers the machine you installed them on doesn’t die.
114.
by Ken_At_EM 4y ago
You’re of course entirely correct. Valve feels different because you can install the games and play them on a machine of your choosing. Maybe if Stadia allowed you to play the games on your machine OR Stadia, the would have been a more comp

Yeah, I hear ya, better read the agreements you sign. But I just can’t convince myself to pay full price for a game when it’s restricted to a platform like stadia. I guess I’m a hypocrite because I own steam games and plenty of movies on my

It is highly unethical to take away copies of the game that players had to pay full price for. Stadia owes them a retail copy of the games they purchased.

Pressurized fluid is used to keep the hole or well from collapsing. The fluid equalizes the formation pressure and keeps the hole from collapsing. This is called "mud engineering," Yes, it's a real thing, look it up! :) Steel

Ha! That's cool. Why would you have not believed that it could work?

Right, but it doesn’t seem like it’s not a free market, there doesn’t sound like there’s legislation protecting these companies. Unlike what EVs have has to go up against with dealerships. Extremely poor customer experience across the board
