> the Patriot Act should just die unrenewed. I'm confused as to why it doesn't. It seems like there is largely bipartisan opposition to it among the public, why is it still receiving support from both parties in congress?

I don't think much is gained from chronicling every episode in the saga of Musk's opposition to the quarantine. There always seem to be bitter flame wars in the comments section, and I don't think there's anything &quot

It is a lot like Windows RT, because I feel like they've been trying this model every year. Windows RT, Windows 10 S Mode, Windows 10X... The latter (designed for dual screen laptops) is coming to single screen devices. https:/&#

Unrelated to the "walled-garden" debate Valve has invested heavily into their Linux game compatibility tools and invested in the upstream projects that make them happen. That allows people who game on PC to break out of the pendin

I think I've always found myself a little skeptical that "voting with the pocketbook" can resolve climate change. It often seems to be a choice only available to those wealthy enough to spend time considering the carbon effec

Chevy was also a big EV/hybrid player in the mid to late '00s. I think the sort of individual that buys an expensive vehicle to, at least in part, broadcast that they are an environmentally-conscious person would be turned off by

The polemic style writing is really off-putting, but I wholeheartedly agree with this. I know Microsoft keeps trying and failing, but I think they will eventually succeed with a separate version of Windows that is clearly a separate "w

I have to wonder if these actions by Musk are going to hurt the brand image of Tesla. Sure people buy the car because it has cool gimmick features and is electric, but when you buy a car for $30k+ there's a reason you spent that kind o

I think there are still two concerns here even if everything is intended to eventually become open source. One, this doesn't address exactly how the repo was compromised. Likely one of the many folks with access had their credentials c

I agree with this statement; it would be an omission to discuss the misapplication of IQ tests and leave out the fact that they have been misapplied in a way that has given ammunition to eugenicists and the "field" of so-called &q
