The F35 is the result of a very dumb decision to do two big things at the same time in the same vehicle: 1 - build a new multi role airplane (that itself was probably overly complex) 2 - build a new networked electronics infrastructure for

Twitch makes their streams public - no account needed, and no login needed to view them. It's arguable whether this is truly private - I'm not taking a position here, just that this is contested law [0]. Twitch would have a much s

I live in Houston (which is where the article takes place). We don’t have rent controls. In fact, I’m not aware of any in the state of Texas. If there are any they are minuscule.

For people who downvoted me, I realize that this opinion is not popular. However, one of the ways rich people keep control of their wealth is through all sorts of trust. I highly recommend that people go Google “ charitable remainder trus

I have no idea. But higher taxes send money to the IRS so the question is irrelevant.

Then just write a check to the IRS voluntarily and go around on Oprah and Ellen and get them to help browbeat others to do the same thing. Why that is not an apparent option is beyond me. People who “give to charity” at this scale have enor

WiFi SSIDs have one very nice attribute - they tend not to move around much. So every time you see a Google maps car ( or a Nuro car or a ...), your SSID is getting geomapped. Now, your IP, SSID, geolocation, and who knows what else is now

Same was true for Beanie Babies. eBay grew huge because of them. Today, eBay is around, but not Beanie Babies, at least not in any significant sense. I think NFT will be the same. Eventually we might put real estate on it and do something

Am I missing something here? - The speed of this is 7,200 Mbps (lowercase "b"). - The speed of a fast SSD is 7,000 MBps (uppercase "B"). Why am I paying for tons of ram to cache anymore? (I'm ignoring wear & tea

At this point, given how fast SSDs are, i wonder if doing that even matters? Reference - SSD speed: https://www.gamingpcbuilder.com/best-m-2-nvme-ssd/

Looks like you got downvoted for this, but honestly, I wonder how much INTC gets dinged in the stock market because of this. No idea how to measure the impact, but I'm sure it's in the tens of billions. It doesn't even matter

I bought my son a used 3060 Ti at the beginning of February from Micro Center for $512 + tax. It had been in their display machine before that, and never out of the store. From a timing perspective, I got totally lucky. I happened to be th

In situations like this, Apple should really consider a modified ruleset to apply. As time goes by, if they continue down their current path, Apple will find itself alienating more and more people.

This is like bug testing for deep fakes. Eventually all the bugs will be ironed out and we’ll see basically perfect deep fakes. Might take several years, but it’s coming.
