I wonder what the % would be if they asked a more general question about just "information they read online." I'd bet it's in the same ballpark. How many major news stories did you read in the last several years that mad

Off topic, but for those still wanting a new GPU the trick to still buying these cards at MSRP, and actually get one, is to utilize a custom built PC service and buy a new PC. Cheap out on all parts except the GPU. Then keep the good GPU, s

How is this any different than FB asking for access to your private contacts, to "help" you find them on FB? What if one of your friends isn't on FB, and doesn't want FB to have their info? Your friend didn't give y

From what I gather, Apple has been using IDFA since 2012. It's baked into the OS and Apple generates the ID. It was enabled by default. Before IDFA, Apple used UDID. My question is why did the privacy focused Apple ever include such a

I'm curious how will it be different from the experiment that's been going on in Seattle for the last few years? Has hard drug use decreased there? Are there fewer needles on the streets? Fewer people visible in public that are ob

The article only really points out, from Tim, the right-wing organization and violence. Most of the violence the country saw over the Spring, Summer and Fall were organized, and still are, on Twitter and Facebook. Here's just 1 twitter

I know what it looks like; I live in Portland, Oregon. In 4 years, we went from 3rd most desirable city, to 66th. They're facing a 17% budget shortfall and are getting rid of people in the permitting department which means it will take

This all seems like a nice attack vector for a nation state or large group of organized hackers. Flood a forum with bots spouting pro-stock x and "stick it to the man" messages, buy a bunch of shares and sit back and wait. Sell at

I would recommend watching Will Prowse YT channel. For batteries, I'd say BattleBorn. They're expensive but have a 10 year warranty and are just damn good batteries. Probably among the best you can get. They should easily last 10+

Note that this article is from 2010, 3 years before Apple joined the NSA's PRISM program approx 6 months after Steve Jobs passed. Jobs reportedly wouldn't go along with it. The data flow is much different now. https://w

Have you seen how much they go for on ebay? Buying tesla battery packs is pretty big in the off-grid solar market since they're 24v and store a lot of juice. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=tesla+battery

One thing I like about Nio is they are using swappable batteries[1] that can be swapped out in about 3-5 minutes, which is comparable, or likely faster, than filling (from empty) at a gas station depending on tank size. It also leaves Nio i

Here's a good example, but from America. I find it especially abhorrent when an American President orders the killing of American citizens (at least 1 directly ordered with several other "unintended" murders) on foreign soil

This is not my field, but it seem if you can spin 1 particle in a known direction and the entangled "partner" particle spins the exact opposite direction, then why not? Basically everything would just be reversed with a 1 being a
