I'm always asking "why haven't scientists come up with more symbols yet?" I also ask "why haven't more symbols been introduced to our keyboards? Just !@#$%&*..." It's strange, esp. when you realiz

When Microsoft acquired LinkedIn I suspected they will go for the top talent with this. Think about it: Based on users' data and behavior, one can anticipate whether or not he/she is going to quit/leave his/her current j

Agreed. They use water in Iran, too. Other than religious considerations (that only water will really clean mess), it actually feels better and cleaner. Plus, their toilets have a different shape, something like this: https://beh

Like many others, my first reaction to this news was "Whaaat? WTF?" He was a great man, and a true inspiration to all of us. May he rest in peace. It's weird now, because I feel like the generation of physicists who were able

Similarly, WhatsApp does the same thing. As an end-user, I'd like things the way they are. If I'm used to the app and it works, why should I be forced to update the damn thing so that it keeps working?

We were afraid that AI will take over and take away our freedom, but I think some companies have done a great job at ruining their products, and our lives as well.

You're right, I just used them and it works. Weird how Mozilla didn't mention it on the link I provided.

Yes, in the "Update" section I addressed that. But still Home and End aren't available. Edit: The comment below mentions another way to achieve Home/End features in FF.

Just tried the v3.0 on Mac and still the video is stuttering. I believe the quality even got worse with the same settings compared to the previous version. On the other hand, the UI has been improved a bit which is good.

I wish the macOS version were as mature as the Windows one. Many shortcuts are missing, video is stuttering if played from external HDD, audio equalizer settings can't be saved and their values are not shown on the equalizer, etc.

Gartner's Hype Cycle for 2017 predicted blockchain to reach its maturity within the next 5-10 years. That 92% of the projects based on blockchain are now dead means that practical applications of blockchain are being narrowed down to a

At first, I thought this 21M cap causes exponential increase in BTC price, until I saw your comment about BTC being infinitely divisible. A bit search on the internet though proves this hypothesis wrong: https://bitcoin.stackexch
