A more appropriate example would be if every engine was the same right down to the Daimler logo still plastered on the engine blocks. That company has no shame.

I’ve been employed by a clearly fake company name for years (wont mention it here, but its clearly to deflect recruiters and a bit of an experiment). I’ve had a number of “colleagues” approach me and try to add me to their network. Seems hi

Property tax? Do you really own something that someone else can take away? And why would renting not work in old age? It works fine, its a value exchange and the money that ive saved for my old age in various investment vehicles will typica

These are being built all over the place and I can't help but wonder how they will stand the test of time. This article explains that many of the large skyscraper structures are being built with new material known as Cross-Laminated Ti

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Apple isn't exactly known for their ability to provide reliable internet services. This is IMHO a badly misconfigured WAF or possibly application config bug and

2006 Western Conf semi finals with Suns/Spurs was pretty much the last straw for me and last time for me actually taking the game serious. Wasnt at all surprised to find out later that Donaghy made money off such a shitty performance.

Its not just this device, its others like the Google Home. Why? Because ISPs and home networks are awful a non-trivial amount of time. It also gives leverage to Evil ISPs to hold Google ransom for the DNS queries needed to make the thing wo

This article is really spot on. It feels like we're in a big speculative mess in Bay Area. The home-price-to-income ratio in SJ is about 20x [1] Anything over 3x used to be considered "risky". Let's say in Costal Areas

Big fan of Apple products and privacy in general, but this was a really dumb move and to what end? This effort has done some serious damage to the relationships of the companies and caused needless divide. Google and Facebook should have be

The book that is being pushed here is: “AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order,” Seems a little disingenuous to compare an entire country of 1.2b people (China) to a region of a state of a country. Or is it actually

I'm assuming the ease and likely success of UberPool[1] was the straw that broke the camel's back. Even Waze has a similar offering [2]. Yet I'm not at all surprised they ran out of cash (I'm assuming) and had to shutter

I'm curious on how the non-contiguous ipv6 [1] usage will eventually affect the use of the TCAM in vendor hardware. It seems that most TCAM being developed today will never be able to store anywhere near the unfathomably large amount o

For those looking to buy a new car and have a Costco in your area, I highly recommend looking into their Auto Purchase program. They negotiated great pricing below invoicing. I did a ton of work shopping around for a new car just before Tha

What a colossally stupid waste of resources. Right now its costing somewhere between ~3500 and ~9000 USD to mine a single bitcoin (on average). To me, we've essentially engineered a mechanism to capture and trade something that represe

Is it such a bad thing to value reduce emissions from some of the worst forms of easily avoidable pollution, i.e. spilled gas and two stoke engines? If you were around when the air quality in LA was almost as bad as what we are seeing now i
