As someone who owns about eight of them, I don't see how you could love Tile. They have a ridiculous profit margin and the company likes to engage in asshole practices like making it so getting a notification when you lose connection w

It was very obvious the Apple car project was never going to happen. So obvious that it never even felt real when I read the headlines. Apple is not a car company and Apple is not willing to transform itself into a car company.

That's my point. The Brits aren't "coming for your job".

Any of them? The entire body of the law is based on legal technicalities. Judges don't get to decide "what they really meant it to say" when applying the law.

The things I really wish I could use AI to do are the things I have the least trust in AI doing correctly. Things that are too easy to screw up and have the worst consequences. It's funny when the AI texts your mother that you "st

We're so close to me being able to open a program, feed in an epub, and get a near-human level audiobook out of it. I'm so excited.

It's dumb on two levels. Firstly, for a planet to evolve sapient life it must be inhabitable for, at minimum, millions of years if not billions, therefore if this orbital instability was going to wipe out the trisolarans it would'

Yeah, the whole "planet's climate is stable enough for a sapient species to evolve and become hyper-advanced yet so unstable they're going to be wiped out" is so, so stupid.

If your clothes are wearing at different rates then by definition you aren't wear-leveling.

Isn't this just reflective of the fact babies with larger heads are less likely to die in childbirth now than they were in the past? Due to increasing use of c-sections?

All of that is true but it has no bearing on whether the power of religion is waxing or waning, or whether religious institutions have discouraged non-religious community gatherings.

Why do you think religious people embracing someone like Trump says anything at all about the relative power of religion? Would a stronger church not demand greater conformity in its supported candidates, not less? In twenty years, the perc

As an atheist, I disagree. The power of the church has been dying at the same time as the availability of other, non-religious "third places". Thirty years ago you not only had a stronger church, but you also had more shopping m

But what's the use in that "useful"? When I pick up a sock and it has holes, I throw it out. When the drawer gets empty enough it can fit another package, I buy one. What utility would come from worrying about when I used a p

Owning a Rift and a Quest 2 has pretty much convinced me I'll never be into VR. VR makes for incredible immersion but, for me, terrible gaming. Instead of putting the cool stuff from games into reality, it puts the worst parts of reali

You shouldn't. If you successfully manage wear leveling all you've done is make sure you have to replace your whole stock at the same time, as well as depriving yourself of regular reminders of what new-ish clothes should look and

I wish I could find a sofa that was designed for repairability. The only thing that ever wears out is the cushioning under the seat but I've never been able to find someone who offers repair services.
