You should have seen chat in NASA’s YouTube stream during the recent total solar eclipse.

The world is always filled with people trying to learn how to impose some amount of order upon their disorderly lives. People look up to him, or discovered him through his blog when he was actively writing it (including yours truly) and eit

Lots of people have strong opinions on Marc Andreessen going every direction, so it’s best to probably try and determine that for yourself and you can start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen

That’s a goddamned stretch if ever there was one. SoCal is more or less a recognizable region in California, and does indeed have almost 24M people, but nobody sane would call it a megalopolis without some weird agenda I can’t quite figure

Privacy first is just not collecting the data. Everything else is just a compromise and an excuse.

We (in the US) should be bringing out the pitchforks for this nonsense but I have never seen another American not living overseas care in the slightest.

To be fair to him, the one guy reviewing Mac App Store submissions probably doesn’t have a lot to do most of the day when work is slow at his other job except nitpick and argue with developers because his job at Apple is reviewing submissio

Yes, but that’s not the impressive bit. The impressive bit is that a piece of software with a hologram projector (unless you were at the last Coachella, in which case it was the screen for you) sells out concerts worldwide and puts on a per

On paper you’re absolutely correct. AI PC is marketing rubbish out of Wintel. Apple’s doing a direct comparison to that marketing rubbish and just accepting that they’ll probably have to play along with it. So going by the intended usage of

Every time I see one of these articles I’m thinking “here’s someone who has never heard of Hatsune Miku”. Welcome to the Days of Future Passed I guess.

It’s better to have a diversified customer-base rather than being completely beholden to a small number of big customers that might decide they don’t need you down the line.

First, no it wasn’t. Second, the DMCA has nothing in it that explicitly targets emulators. Now what some hardware makers have done is include some kind of cryptography and called it an anti-circumvention method, but that is a later phenomen

Read up on Sony vs Connectix. This is basically FUD. Yuzu is cooked but that doesn’t mean all emulation of Nintendo consoles is. The Yuzu devs settled, and among the allegations in Nintendo’s filing was that they, the developers themselves,

In terms of everything keeping health care costs sky high, you are correct. What I outlined is the tip of the iceberg, if the iceberg was Antarctica.

It’s more the divorce between the receiver, the seller and the buyer. Sellers are not selling to the people using the wheelchairs, they’re selling to insurance companies and the government. Both types of entities have a proclivity for overp

Yeah. Like I said, not defending it, but it seems more plausible than trying to trip up foreign missile targeting by making Google Maps worse.

by SllX 2y ago
Not going to defend it, but I’ve always read it as an attempted countermeasure to unsophisticated espionage or domestic terrorism rather than an addition to their missile defense system. It’s not good enough to obfuscate targets when you ca

Swindled you say. When I look at my monthly video entertainment spend vs a cable bill from my childhood (let alone what it would be today), the quality and options available and the control over scheduling I have vs linear television, I’m n

Close. It’s ANSI/POSIX Environment. It’s been there since Plan 9 second edition. I think it was put there basically for TeX, but don’t quote me on that because I no longer remember where I read that and it isn’t in the original paper.

If you’re not going to go into the specifics of why then this is FUD. I’m calling it out because this FUD has been widespread across multiple discussion communities including this one. Tropic Haze (Yuzu) didn’t settle because all they wer

I had the realization a few weeks ago that I no longer listen to very much from before 2016. I didn’t pay attention to how it happened, but less than 20% of what I have actively listened to in the past 3 years going by all these recap playl

You say it takes political will, but this isn’t a political decision by African companies. The first three bullet points tell you what’s going on pretty well: African companies are choosing to use a more affordable competitor that they ca

It's over 20 years too late to be making moves like this. The PRC joined the WTO in 2001. That was the ballgame.

And even if they didn’t, maybe it would be Kodak sensors in iPhones instead of Sony sensors. A lot of possibilities.

Safeway was always the go to bathroom spot over there. Dunno if it still is, but if it’s any consolation, the Panera is dead.

Airports can run their own agency but they still have to follow TSA’s guidelines. If they aren’t there, then TSA would be.

Maybe? I’ve thought the same about a lot of things covered in the school’s curriculum with former schoolmates or people who went to the same schools in the same district around the same time with the same curriculum; but over the course of
