Well the creators of the substance (manufacturers who used asbestos in their products) and the contractors that installed the products did in fact also get cancer. You're both a little bit wrong, and both want to be right, so seem to b

I've done that too, it really sucks. My boss wasn't thrilled about it either but it was a directive from a lot higher up than she was. I took that as cue to look for a new job myself, as did others. Not everyone left but enough su

Does a week go by without some kind of scam, fraud, or theft of crypto in the millions? I have no idea why anyone puts money into this for compared to other business, it seems so sketchy. It must be a combination of greed, rose-colored gla

Probably true. Personally. I don't really care if the other party/ies have a blue iMessage or green SMS response. Only people I've ever heard complain are a subset of Android users that, I think, it take it extremely personal

Interesting article, but given this is an anecdotal perspective from the author I have to wonder how much confirmation bias exists in this. Worth additional exploration and possible study by an expert in the biological sciences. Smart peopl

Yep, this is a way to filter out people that aren't nearly friendless nerds with no life outside of coding. I think it's fine to have that lifestyle but it's very limiting to stick to that stereotypical lifestyle for hiring e

That really sucks, but this is exactly why I refuse to buy any smart-home devices that I can't control directly and work with Home Assistant. I prefer bulbs and switches that I can also reflash. I do have a few Wyze cameras because the

Good. I think Putin is a terrible person, and the war against Ukraine is awful. However I think social media needs some level of neutral discourse such that no one should really be outright advocating for killing anyone.

Wow, this is a fantastic idea. Give this guy all the funding. We just need to integrate crypto mining and call it WebNG.

This sounds a lot like the typical small town where they try to make up for lost tax revenue by aggressive policing. One town I'll remember to never go I guess, not that I'd probably ever go there anyways. There was an old Rockfor

JetBrains produces some good products, but I think this is too late to the game to really compete against VS Code. Perhaps there are some organizations whom don't want to let their developers use VS Code because of OSS paranoia or lega

Maybe I'm being paranoid but he claims to want a civilian force independent of the federal government, or as he says "not encumbered by the federal government" because he wants full control over them for his own purposes. Wha

The article didn't talk about specifics, so I wonder who developed these algorithms. Did they hire experts in modeling markets (i.e. economists and finance/quants) to develop their financial models and algorithms, or did they jus

What are the useful things that are being built on Ethereum? The PDF you linked was high level and didn't really provide any specific applications.

The article didn't say the reason for Fortran's renewed popularity. Anyone know why? Only thing I can think of is either due to AI/ML or robotic-y needs.

I don't expect anything different from the right-wing leadership that lead to refusal to winterize and regulate their power grid enough to prevent a fair market. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

For TV/film, it's probably one of the most accurate that I've seen. There are some things that are obviously for drama and visual effect though. Some examples (very low spoilers but you've been warned): -----------------

There are other engineers in the same field with more technical expertise in this specific field of robotics than Elon, and they think that Tesla's path is not accurate enough. Maybe they're right. Maybe Elon is. The problem is wh

While that's a nice quote and all, you are responding to someone talking about the story 1984 by George Orwell. Whereas your quote is from Farenheiht 451 by Ray Bradbury. I'm not sure if you've actually ready the story or you

You obviously have not read and understood any of 1984 if you believe that. Please describe how every action you list related to Parler and 1984.

I'm guessing that unless they can reverse the decision of Visa and MC, either they'll have to transition to an ad-only model or they'll soon be going out of business.

Apple isn't really a technology company anymore. They're a designer brand, so this makes sense. Soon you can sit on your $100 Apple-exclusive yoga mat, listening to Billy Eilish or The Beatles with your $550 external-over-the-ear-

That's good for Boeing but the investigation into the crashes has shown what a hack-job this plane was. I won't ever feel comfortable enough to fly on it.

That sounds fantastic. I would love to be stuck on a planet, with my entire life in the hands of Elon Musk - whom has been progressing into a temperamental asshole and probably has a gigantic ego. What happens if you do something Elon doesn
