For me, I think the enjoyable thing about Murakami's books isn't necessarily the story line in the traditional sense. The story lines are always wacky, surreal, etc. But the things that captivate me are the characters and world-bu

Last time I was there was for CES, and they had a "completely" autonomous bus that went around the arts district of downtown Las Vegas. The autonomous bus was disappointing, but I actually thought that particular part of Vegas was

I never understood the appeal of china or any of these antiques. I think they just look terrible. Glad to see in this thread that it’s not just me, but my entire generation.

A majority of these extensions just seem to be ways to deal with shitty JavaScript. IMO, NoScript is really the only one you need.

If anyone here is running Linux and is now researching a "backup plan" in case Firefox pivots, I would highly recommend Epiphany (now called GNOME Web): https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web

Concrete example: The slightly more frequent instances of fireworks in neighborhoods across the country leading up to 4th of July being a “psy-op” by the police targeting neighborhoods of color. This was believed by a Canadian friend who ha

How does more education prevent conspiracy theories? I’ve witnessed many highly educated friends (including some from outside the US) succumb to crazy conspiracy theories on Twitter. This seems more like an emotional intelligence problem th

It has a really good security system built in. When activated, it “locks” the wheels by applying reverse torque in whichever direction you attempt to drag it. The key is also a small device that communicates with the Segway cryptographicall

I was too young to buy into the hype when the Segway was released in 2001. I will never forget the first time I rode one though, I thought it was the most incredibly fun and cool thing. I ended up saving every penny earned from two summer j

Boosting this. I’ve had anxiety problems for years and it’s crazy how it can manifest as real physical symptoms. Every doctor visit always ends up with the same diagnosis: anxiety. Most recently I was 100% convinced I was having a retina de

Oh yes big time! Especially here in the bay area (not so much right now though, requires access to arcades).

The problem is that it's such a defeatist attitude. How are we expected to fix anything if "the system" is "rigged"? If I put my conspiracy theory hat on, I would say that those in power would love it if people kept

I find it impossible to take any position seriously when someone tweets “the system is rigged”.

I want to be mayor of a small-medium size town. I’m extremely introverted, but for some reason I have no problem talking to people in a problem-solving context (like at work). I enjoy it, in fact. In a social setting though, I’m off in a co

This was my reaction too. Slack doesn’t have many fans at my job either, but that (rather childish) newspaper ad that Slack wrote suggests their users “love” it and would never switch to anything else. Both Teams and Slack are slow chat app

There's a great article in this month's Wired all about this: https://www.wired.com/story/nathan-wolfe-global-economic-fal... The short version is that this guy was selling exactly that kind of insurance, but

Agreed. At least old Reddit didn’t require JS to load anything a didn’t show spinners every time you clicked on something.

I couldn’t agree more. I absolutely fell in love with the Surface Studio they had on display there. It was really set up to make a great demo too, preloaded with software that takes advantage of the “wheel” device and stylus. Not only that,

Gotta throw this out there; if you hate ads but actually like YouTube and want to support YouTube creators, I’d highly recommend YouTube Red. Totally worth it IMO.

Surprised at all the negative comments here. Did no one else grow up with TechTV? The sheer mention of TechTV in the article got me really excited. I, for one, watch technical videos all the time but not for the purpose of explicitly learni

Writing directly to the frame buffer is effectively the “CPU rendering” or “software rendering” approach. Most modern GUIs use a compositor, which usually renders the contents of each window using the CPU to textures stored in VRAM. The GPU

With the sheer amount of scam, privacy invading apps that are preying on people’s fear, can you blame them?
