I agree but for different reasons... namely, our ancestors have lived off red meat for hundreds of thousands of years. We can still eat red meat our entire lives with minimal, or at the very least, hard to link direct consequences to our he

I believe it is a supply issue currently and will continue to be to a certain point, but that point falls far short of ubiquitous adoption.

I realize my argument made it seem like I was using the sales data to justify my claim, but that wasn't really what I was going for - my mistake. I am aware of the demand issues, but the question is how far does that scale? The current

Let me add one more, and I don't think it's an edge case but for some reason nobody talks about it - a large percentage of people just don't want them. That, to me, is the biggest blocker of adoption. Most of the other argume

Can someone provide a reasonably unbiased take on the state of Californias electric grid? From the outside looking in, it seems their push towards renewables was perhaps too aggressive and now they are having issues meeting demand - but adm

I tried to do this as well... bought a year subscription to the local paper. Unfortunately I live semi-rural and it is written so egregiously its only worth is feeding the firebox each week.

Something that really helped me was a smartwatch. I picked up an Apple Watch (cellular) a few weeks ago so I didn't have to carry my phone around, and subsequently, would not be tempted to mindlessly use it. I think the experiment has

Is that really so surprising? He has been world famous since the 80s and was dominating headlines during his presidency.

A lot of it really is just time management, minimize things that don't matter, and maintaining your mental and physical health. I am by no means part of this elite class referenced - but I am able to keep up with a demanding job, full

Going through Dr Brian Harvey's CS 61A - so this is well timed, thank you for sharing.

IMO the wristwatch was perfected for the average user in 1989 with the Casio F-91W. Ten dollars, ten year battery, does time and date to a reasonable accuracy, has an alarm, a stopwatch, and a light - for ten dollars . That value is insane

The original RFC came out in 1995, the modern RFC used today in 1998 - almost 25 years ago. When I was in college in 2012 (going through the Cisco NetAcad) they were preaching that our IPv6 future was "just around the corner". I a

Oof those recent reviews though… are you still using it regularly without much issue?

Great input! I forgot all about Harper's for some years now... your mention prompted me to resubscribe. Would also like to throw in the Wall Street Journal for news. If you stay away from the opinion sections, they are pretty firmly ce

I find paying for high-quality journalism goes a long way in how you feel about what you just read. Great journalism will leave you feeling contemplative and informed. Most of the "journalism" on "free" sites leave you f

That article was a bloated mess, and the author seemed to have it out for conspiracy theorists. tl;dr is expanded diagnosis criteria and relaxed reporting requirements.

Not only is it an interesting pastime, it can be quite useful for older languages. I am currently working my way through some of the recommendations in "The Definitive C Book Guide and List" from StackOverflow and a lot of the sel

When a human does something stupid, it's the humans fault. The human has to accept responsibility. When a computer does something stupid, who is to blame? How are they held accountable?

This isn’t unique to Google, same thing happened to me. Working for a name brand technology company in Atlanta, but am located remotely in the Raleigh-Durham area. My pay scale is “corrected” for the difference in markets and am payed a goo

I really hate what is happening to infosec/cybersecurity. There is this huge push to get anyone and everyone into the field due to the talent shortage, and now it is near impossible to find a signal in all of the noise that is marketin

Not to take away from your point, but Max supports 4 displays.

I would argue the opposite, still using my 2012 15” MacBook Pro… a decade later. Go to Walmart and look at the laptops on display, and tell me any of those are capable lasting near a decade.

Reminds me of Pocket C.H.I.P, which apparently still has new stock for sale. I never used mine as much as wanted to though... largely I think due to the keyboard.

FujiNet is great. I recently went on nostalgia/educational trip and bought an old 800XL with a bunch of accessories - (2) disk drives, a cassette recorder, printer/serial controller, and modem. One thing that surprised me was the

This too is an interesting concept I had not heard of before today. Will give it some thought, thank you.

This idea really resonates with me. I started out life pretty poor, and am fortunate enough now to be able to purchase most anything I want. What I no longer have however, is time. I found myself purchasing things I want to have time for,

The telco was providing the managed services in this case. That is interesting, so it sounds like this was a complete breakdown in the process somewhere. We weren’t doing it for fun or sport, we were doing it because it was the only way to

Looks interesting, will give it a read as it looks to cover more than the basics. Years ago I worked in a SOC doing managed services for a major telco provider, and for some reason they thought that we didn't have the need to do any ki

MFA and patching doesn’t help much when your perimeter gets knocked over by a zero day. There is quite a bit more that goes into security than these surface level recommendations. It’s why cybersecurity is such a hot field right now, with a

I agree it is possible to be frugal and maintain the wealth - however there will be great difficulty adjusting to living off 40, 80, or even 120k a year after a lifetime of having multi-millionaire parents. I think that is what the original
