They did due diligence. They bought the unlimited plan. "Unlimited" that is not unlimited is not unlimited. It's false advertising.

I'm not sure one way or the other about the schizophrenia link, but it is interesting. As far as IQ goes I completely agree. If anything I'd say that most of the people I've known who are into conspiracy theories have above a

Ageism in tech is not about skill or freshness of skills. It's about cost. Younger devs earn less and haven't yet learned that they should ask for increased compensation if they are asked to work significant overtime. They also do

I've noticed for a while that Netflix seems to be making it a lot harder to rate content and find high quality content. It's like they want you to watch junk. Maybe junk has lower licensing fees so it increases their margins. I&#x

I've read that some mining is done at a loss because it's a way of laundering money or exfiltrating money from countries with capital controls. Most large scale money laundering or exfiltration schemes are costly. A 20%+ before ta

I disagree. Nations are kind of arbitrary from this perspective. Physics doesn't care about the lines we put on our maps. Per capita is better, but the best statistic is probably per capita weighted by GDP per capita and other indices

I see quite a bit of anti-science / anti-fact / irrational stuff on all political sides. For the vast majority of people beliefs are not about being right but about belonging to a group. We believe to belong. When a part of our be

If someone put a good fast raft replication engine in process in front of sqlite you'd have a pretty killer db for a lot of things.

That's fine when you don't need complex queries or your data is small. As complexity increases you will eventually end up with a buggy slow relational database.

Legal/constitutional is the only difference that really matters. The tech is globally available to anyone. The law determines how it may be used. Overall I think mass surveillance and other cyber-intrusions into civil liberties can onl

Oh I'm sure they're optimized for Intel, but that's easily explained by Intel's near-monopoly for the past 10 years. Now that AMD is gaining market share again we'll probably see this change. MS doesn't want to

To some extent yes, but it's a false equivalence to compare the USA and China. They're pushing surveillance further than our own intelligence agencies, and more importantly they have no bill of rights. I dare someone to try a Sash
