Diamond has not developed great engines. There's a video floating around of them quite literally taking stock Mercedes taxi diesels apart and putting different oil coolers on them. The only difference in design besides those oil coole

I gotta say I'm really glad that Facebook is all-in on Virtual Reality, because that's the shortest path to the ultimate failure of Facebook and the departure of a lot of its problem children in management. Virtual Reality as a co

That was not always the case. Sticking with the Epic example, a great deal of custom maps made it into regular rotations in the original Unreal Tournament community, and a great many mods were played for a very long time. But people weren&#

I'm not confusing anything, it's you who has a basic misunderstanding of how this all works. You don't get to determine the rules and context of communication for other people, you only get to determine them for yourself. I d

I find it funny (pun intended) that you consider this learning, when on a basic level it's the opposite of that. If anything can be deemed offensive (and it will be, because there are people who profit from scolding others), and nothin

It would be wise to stop believing what corporations say. They tend to lie. Do you really believe that Facebook doesn't know if someone has multiple accounts if they failed to seek out a Facebook setting to link them together? This i

Yeah, the addressable part is where you take the wealth that has accumulated among people who don't spend it, and distribute it among people who do. It's very simple.

There is no security. I live in the north Dallas suburbs. About 75% of the time the entire non-pharmacy part of any CVS store near me is completely unattended. About half the time you walk into any one of them you'll hear the robot v

It creates a theft nuisance, they attract shoplifters to nearby stores. In that way you don't want a Walgreens or CVS in your neighborhood in the same way you don't want a 24 hour liquor store in your neighborhood.

I've often thought that municipal regulations would be the best way to get rid of unsavory American corporations. Another one that I'm not surprised has happened yet is a ~$5,000 dollar per day fine for an unattended cash register

Facebook has no problem lying to advertisers about how much their money buys, I'd say it's much more likely that Facebook is concerned with preventing scraping.

yeah these are the ones who sent out all of their local station managers years ago to try to convince us that OTA broadcasts needed a fee on cable. hope they get clipped for tens of millions, hundreds of millions even better.

Depends. ZFS mirrors are very snappy. Single disks were never a recommended option for ZFS, it's a filesystem designed for arrays.
