I've done it. Sometimes you go to a 20 minute talk because the premise was interesting, but it's different from what you thought or too arcane, or the presenter has an accent you cannot understand, and it's too late to look u

I think the 5 steps is too "high school" and overrated for the adult world. Sometimes there is no time nor audience patience for cliches like "how you're going to tell them" and "how you told them". Intro,

This is simply not true. There are unsolved engineering problems and not just risks.

This is a conspiracy theory. In all likelihood it was just a few fascist businessmen concocting dream scenarios. Reactions [1]: "No doubt, MacGuire did have some wild scheme in mind, though the gap between contemplation and execution w

Sounds like a list of things pulled from a SpaceX brochure, not sure how exactly they are game changers.

I bought my Nokia 635 for $50 off Ebay and still use it. I've hated all Android phones I've used before, so dont want to switch unless I can no longer handle it, and I dont want to pay premium for Apple. The WP OS is pretty awesom

Well if you dont use a master password, the passwords are available with the Show passwords button. Firefox's saved passwords feature is not meant to protect against theft etc. (This is actually annoying to me, but I cant really flaw t

Yes I was hoping for a Supersize Me type experiment. I actually tried to scroll down a couple of times not noticing the page had ended. Very underwhelming.

> The C preprocessor is only Turing-complete, if executed in a loop, which feeds the output to the input ad infinitum. I was momentarily confused by this until I realized there shouldnt be any commas in that sentence.

I found it a little disconcerting that the most selfish usecase (spent it on "her children") among the 5 or 6 reported got a picture. Apparently looks matter even in the genius world.

That has too much jargon to be a good summary to a non-gamer IMO. To wit- "While some games might offer loot boxes for cosmetic options, Battlefront II is using loot crates as their primary form of progression through the multiplayer c

I was not aware of feed43. Thanks. But do I have to create my own? Can I not use feeds people have already created?

This is very standard for the Economist. It used to be a good magazine, and occasionally still delivers a superb long form article (usually about the financial/corporate world), but its editorials are just a lazy mishmash of bullet poi

Thunderbird user for over a decade here, on both Linux and Windows, and have not seen this happen, ever. Firefox, I'd agree and it still does on Linux. Never had a problem with Thunderbird other than the disappearing Outlook calendars.

Your second paragraph flies directly in the face of everything that is right about capitalism. As a simple example, long distance call rates dropped by 40-50% after the breakup with no difference in quality.

Berners-Lee seems to want to stay relevant, I mean he invented the web but does that give credibility to his announcments and concerns and predictions now ? I mean we all know how the semantic web turned out.

Your analogy is not quite correct. I'm not saying Reuters didnt slant those articles in those particular examples but it could be a honest mistake; this site will never report when Reuters slants towards Israel because that is against

From a site whose raison d'etre is "Defending Israel from media bias", these examples are not very convincing.

Instead of remembering/finding that article perhaps you should just read the posted article which mentions the same things about "cuter" facial features.
