Sounds like an interesting story. Too bad it's paywalled.

Yup, I got one too. But the process of registering, handing over all your personal info, etc., just to get a $10 gift card, seemed not at all worth it. Besides, with a gift card, you're never gonna have a purchase that's covered e

It's a paywall so I can't read it, but legislating a 4-day work week is unlikely to dismantle the Japanese salaryman culture that stresses its employees to the point of lower fertility (not to mention an economy that makes it near

I'm so glad you asked. I just turned 80, and even though I don't have the stamina or strength I had when I was 40, I've kept up my mobility through (more or less) regular exercise. As the old joke goes, if I'd known I wa

Agreed. And when did 'disruption' become a good thing? Good for the founders' pockets, bad for everyone else.

Well of course I didn't read the article cuz that would be cheating, but it's a bit like musical chairs, innit? If there aren't enough houses (at prices that are affordable to the majority), then somebody is gonna be left sta

This report is basically a bunch of Republican talking points. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.

Article uses "carbon" and "carbon dioxide" interchangeably. This material supposedly absorbs "carbon," and then releases a gas? Definitely not written by a techie! Unfortunately, carbon capture is just not feas

Why are they even holding a hearing? It's all political, and I'm sure the decision is already made, and the hearing just a dog-and-pony show.

Might be an interesting article, but it's one of those irritating slide-show with interspersed text kind of articles that seem to infest the internet these days, where you can't actually read it without having to look at endless p

Um, they voted against banning it. That means that forced prison labor is still perfectly legal...

Semantics, semantics. The AI was the author, you didn't write it. You may have written some extremely clever prompts, but that's not the same thing. By the way, I hope you're not planning to pass this off on Amazon as your ow

For me there's no set-and-forget-forever setting. Depending on the weather, how I'm dressed, how many other people in the car, whether there's a smelly diesel truck ahead, etc., that's a setting I need to change all the

I'm afraid that particular horse has already left the barn. Whether you like it or not, there's more than one country working on this, and some of them seem to have ill will towards the US. You may or may not like this particular

Not at all true. Interesting result, being able to factor larger numbers than before, and may eventually lead to breaking AES, but definitely not deserving of the sensational news coverage it's getting.

A stylized graphic of a swinging door could be displayed to make it multi-lingual, but to do it just with design language sounds challenging. I'd love to know if there are any solutions to that.

It's like the old joke about boiling the frog. More and more aggressively intrusive ad tech is coming along, and people will just shrug it off.

This was true 25 years ago when I was in the software industry in SF (I'm retired now), and has probably always been true in the corporate world. I worked for an old cell phone company called Air Touch, and my job mostly consisted of w

This has been the general word on the street ever since Win11 came out. Why is it all of a sudden news now?
