The story of basically every native Windows app that got rewritten as a web app. It'll run in Chrome on Linux, but good luck writing a GTK+ or Qt app that will interface with the underlying protocol.

Not even ten random strangers. Ten strangers that are almost certainly not technical, since lawyers always try to dismiss smart people from juries?

Kaiser has both HMO and PPO plans, although depending on your employer you might only have access to the HMO (e.g. if they went with another insurer for the PPO).

$5.40 to encode a 15-minute video is... a lot. Amazon Elastic Transcoder runs at $0.03/minute, so it would be $0.45 to encode the same 15-minute video. The value of doing video processing with general-purpose compute is either A) you c

Isn't this just another grab by middlemen trying to take a bigger cut of streaming revenue because CD sales are dying? When Spotify was in a spat with Taylor Swift's former label, the two companies couldn't even agree on how

Spotify cleaned up a lot in 2014. They used to be peer-to-peer, and they'd give "free" service to employees of certain big tech companies because they could take advantage of the upload bandwidth of the big tech offices. They

Control is all of it. Security on Android is a joke for 80%+ of users. They can't run on the latest version of Android, because various vendors' drivers are in out-of-tree kernel patches that are un-upstreamable for non-technical

Dear Mr. Schneiderman: If a video steaming service (such as Netflix or YouTube) installs a "appliance" or "cache" to provide faster video to a certain ISP's customers, do you believe that violates net neutrality, an

Dear Mr. Schneiderman: There are many places where I can get faster internet from my cell phone than I can from DSL or independent ISPs. How do we get ISPs to invest in faster internet (such as gigabit FTTH)?

There's a proposal for an express lane on US 101 in California, and when they hit the cap the lane will become "HOV only". I wonder if congestion will ever get so bad that they'll have to start adding tolls for HOV vehic

Who are the ultra-rich getting a tax cut? I'm under the impression that it's the corporations getting the biggest big tax cut in this bill -- so possibly your employer.

This seems win-win to me. Techies and bankers pay more in taxes. People in fly-over states get a small tax cut, and maybe can buy a few extra weeks' groceries for their kids.

Japanese has fewer phonemes than Canto or Mando, which always gave me the impression that it was easier to learn. Maybe the added difficulty comes from needing to understand the grammar (particles) and the different forms of speech for diff

Sure, Facebook might delete your photo when they're done, but they probably won't delete any machine learning models that they trained using it.

Presumably, you would do this after Facebook already has a copy of the nude -- uploaded by the attacker/malicious ex. If you want Facebook's computers to automatically take down any copies of the photo, yes, you're going to h

I think the biggest problem is the price point. The person who most wants to use their phone as a PC is the person who can't afford spending $4000 on the entire suite of Apple devices. That person probably also can't afford a $100

The problem with tearing down the mission to build huge apt buildings is that it's racist. SoMa was built by razing the houses of black people in the 80s; see Janet Delaney's work at the SFMOMA ( https://www.sfmoma.org
