While I really liked the old sync system, it was never going to be user-friendly because it entrusted key management/safety to users. People just aren't ready for that and Mozilla maintaining two systems would compound the user i

Even then, the list of hardware profiles taking a dirt nap is pretty long. Gone are the budget Nexus phones and any true Android tablets. All they have left are a laughable "flagship" phone, a high end Chromebook, and a kiloton

I would easily throw Uber into the evil category. "Contractor" loophole to evade minimum wage (min. wage being already pretty pathetic), Greyball, and a general culture of knowingly ignoring laws cultivated by it's founder.

Pantographs are only the bar mounted on a scissor-like mechanism that you find on light rail. They only allow for one electrical connection so they don't work for trolley buses. The word I would use here are "trolley poles".

The XP example is just one of many creative ways of causing trouble within a games rules. You'll forever play whack-a-mole unless the community have the ability to police themselves. And teleportation is not a player driven action (I

I'm speaking to before the non-PvP zones and other stuff came about. The reputation system made things feel very organic and natural. The problem with a totally level playing field is that new players without any friends or resources

Without violence, it's significantly harder to defeat griefing, nonviolent but antisocial behavior. The work required to overcome griefing significantly outweighs the work the griefer puts in. An example would be obstructing someone&

The article's "Egor" operated in a world with PvP. If the article is implying that you need a government (society, community) to solve these problems, then you must allow PvP as player governments need state sponsored violen

Which is why silicon valley is a ghost town? It's not that easy for companies to move to unconventional locations.

Yikes, I can see a lot of our TMM's having trouble with phones. It'd be better to just invest in dedicated phones and not allow BYOD. In fact, I can see some TMM's trying to get away with voting remotely (attendance is some

Just another parent here... Does he fall asleep easily? What's the room environment like? White noise? Disposable diapers or cloth? Does he have a healthy appetite and diet? Are you still in the room when he falls asleep? I suppo

Howdy redneck, this New England yankee carries a Leatherman (Skeletool CX) everywhere. Do you think we can find us a midwest farm boy in here? I've also used for food in a pinch (mostly cutting things up to share with others). I see a

The news has a running meme along the lines of "absurd white person calls police on black person". Many of these phone calls allege the victim is acting violent, has a gun, etc. Is it possible to bring "swatting" charge

"Modes" would be much better named as "protocols" (like "Ethernet" or "IP"). Originally it was rudimentary analog protocols: AM, FM, Morse/CW that were decoded with simple circuits where "m

A classy phone not from a giant tech company or with questionable governmental ties? No forced bloatware? Fast, reliable updates? There's really no market for that? The market is stupid and wrong. This isn't a failure of techno

To raise the other kerfuffle du jour, how is Huawei going to fare when these findings meet the GDPR? Where is the informed consent to shipping all of this PII to who knows where? And in cleartext, without even the slightest effort at prot

I would argue the "design goals" of git have evolved far past the kernel, which is a very unique and special project. These new patterns don't seem to invalidate how the kernel uses git and they offer a lot of ergonomics in

What workloads is this good for? I don't do GPGPU stuff but my layman's assumption was that shipping data to the GPU was an expensive operation. Sending a ton of IO from "data lakes"[+] to the GPU to do trivial comparis

Or it's the latency chasm between RAM and disk. A cursory googling to refresh my own memory, SSD is at least 100x slower than peeking at RAM and possibly much more, depending on who's numbers you trust. It seems at least plausibl

That's a trait of humans and is not limited to comedians. In fact, the lens of comedy usually focuses on a political personality stating something completely foolish with complete sincerity in an attempt to score points.

The stagnation of packet radio is due to FCC legal restrictions on data rate that are divorced from the reality of bandwidth usage in modern protocols. You need to get to UHF before doing anything reasonable (if you call 56k reasonable) and

I see that you didn't mention tailwinds. Because, of course, they're a myth and don't actually exist. I recall reading the meteorological explanation for why the wind changes direction on ocean cities. The net effect for me

I'm a Millennial (by some definitions) with kids. I don't want "more house"; instead I want my kids to have access to things to foster their independence and growth. I have a lot of friends, with kids, who have had to l

I suppose my kids could technically "roam" but they won't have anywhere to go that's interesting. Most kids can't even walk or bike to school in the suburbs.
