I remember 20 years ago when Avast were the good guys. It's interesting how brand perception changes over time.

At some point failures start getting measured in millions of dollars per minute. It's smart to be cautious.

Humans are funny. We pretend (a lot) to be more civilized than we are. Even the best of us falls far short of the ideal. We like to believe we're very far from human sacrifice, tyranny, the Triumphs of Rome, etc. We're very much n

I agree with other commenters. Before Discord, voice over internet was not easy. Skype, Google Meet, Vent, TeamSpeak, and that other one I can't remember the name of that we used for a while. Discord works. It works well. It might just

Cars are a fun one "Your emissions system is failing. It's probably because there's rust on the inside of your gas cap." That kind of troubleshooting is about as software as it gets.

The cost is prohibitive, but I can't think of anyone who I trust more to introduce a cutting edge consumer device. I wont be a user, but I hope they succeed.

Every Usenet replacement (but Craigslist and 4chan) has burned through hundreds of millions of VC cash only to eventually fizzle out. Maybe digital space and presence needs to be a social utility.

You only need to have flood insurance if you have a mortgage. Our home is in a floodplain, but the prior owner was the first owner, and build the home himself. When we bought the home, we had to petition FEMA to remove the home from the flo

What a deceptive headline. They cut these things from general science courses (what Americans would consider K-8), but they are still part of "high school" biology.

I don't disagree with either party here. $12k for 50 million requests is not egregious, but $2.50 per user for something that is probably cheap/free to users is a non starter. Reddit has failed to adequately monetize their userbas

The southwest corner of the island is known as a "dry forest" but there are areas, especially the coastal region, that are rocky desert. Wear a big hat, go before 8am, and stop by the salt flats.

Lots of catches. Many places have bars on windows, those pristine reefs are surrounded by areas with unexploded munitions, tons of bugs, roads that are not necessarily safe for cars, etc. But 100% worthwhile.

Thank you for this comment! There are parts of Puerto Rico that are "3rd world hellscapes," but they are tiny and not the norm. It is a beautiful island with a ton of natural resources and hardworking people. Where else can you dr

2007/2008 showed that there is incredible momentum in credit ratings, and that despite the "rules" there is a log scale relationship with rating, momentum, and risk. The A/B/C rating system might be more of a disser

As someone who considers himself an old school hacker, I'm anti-power and anti-establishment by my very nature. The WEF, G7, G20, etc, are powers' playground. And "mainstream altruism" is almost always terrifying to me a
