Just a warning to readers, I would not recommend clicking 4chan links while at work.

Especially if you've done it your whole professional life. The type of people who see a major tech company charging for lunches in the company cafeteria and then write articles about them trying to starve their employees would curl up

Producing panels and charging circuitry has a carbon footprint. So does installing them. It's going to take a long, long time for car-mounted panels to offset that footprint, and even longer for the cost. On top of that there's co

Why has a question mark been added to the article title?

To be fair, the carbon content of a conventional circuit board is already sequestered in the circuit board.

You, my friend, need to install SponsorBlock.

I don't get why this is significant. How is this a better substrate than any other flexible plastic? Isn't the issue with flexible electronics the robustness of the circuits and components?

Yes they do. Generally they license them for free, though.

Why should we allow self appointed "biomedical ethicists" to dictate what interventions we can use? The medical industry seems to be largely divided into two camps: Camp A would happily sell allergy medication that triples your

Anytime you see a "battery breakthrough" article, a way to save yourself some time is just to check if they've patented it. If they haven't, they have zero expectation that it has commercial potential.

I only found out my dad was being scammed into paying them $35 a month for that 1.5mbit service when I was helping him troubleshoot why his Alexa kept losing connectivity.

It's a bluetooth mouse that only uses the card slot to charge the battery. It's a shame no modern laptop comes with storage for a travel mouse.

If Bob is your employed artist, you do. If you set your own picture down in front of Bob and asked him to paint a banana wearing a green hat on top of it, which of you owns the copyright? If you tell photoshop to apply a blur filter over a

Why is it so incredibly ridiculous to you to even entertain this thought, even though it would help in this situation (by saving the fetus' live)? It isn't ridiculous to me. Even if it was, it wouldn't matter, because that

I can't stress enough what a strange and uncaring attitude this is. Here you have the state forcing somebody to be in prison, and the prison is in terrible conditions. Why is it not the states fault that she is put into those conditio

It being dangerous for the fetus seems like a separate issue she should be suing the prison about. Particularly since this is an 8-month fetus that's entirely capable of surviving outside her body were she to give birth immediately. If

The state isn't stopping the fetus from leaving; the inmate is.

Sure. The fact you can't knowingly do business with known criminals and stolen money also makes it harder to start a new bank.

If they don't like your content on YouTube, they can punt it instantly. And it can be for ANY REASON Certainly. But Section 230, at least from my reading, does not protect them for the promotion of content. I could be wrong about t

It's completely bizarre to me that I can open and then mark as spam e-mails from the same sender half a dozen times without Gmail blocking mail from that address. Why even have the button?

Beyond that scenario, the principal that I come at this from is that I, as a creator, rightfully recognize and defend my own rights to the things that I pour a significant portion of myself and life into Does data deserve special rights

What kind of dumpster-fire developer gets out-competed by a game they released fourteen years ago targeted at a platform with a 320x480 screen and 128MB of RAM?

That's an excellent point. There are many parallels between criticisms of AI art that call it "just typing in a prompt" and calling photography "just aiming a camera". Does the fact that anybody can point their phon

At the end of a routine meeting with Toshiba, the engineers mentioned a new product they had in the lab that would be ready by that June. It was a tiny, 1.8-inch drive (the size of a silver dollar) that would hold five gigabytes of storage
