Why would you even need to log in if your service is running swimmingly? I run some things off of Backblaze and I haven't seen their console in over 2 years.

Youtube certainly costs money to run. It doesn't cost as much as they're asking. Besides, Google has mercilessly injected itself in many more parts of my daily life, and they're making good money off of me. They're not p

How is computer usage remotely comparable? At my high school we had 2 hours of computer class per week. The rest of the time we spent in regular, computer-less classrooms. We had smartphones already in my days and I promise you they were a

Belgian perspective, but what they use in various nations around Europe/the world is likely closer to our system than to the American one: We do not have school board meetings the way you do. We do have parents' councils, and pare

Oh, I'm not saying that it's some sort of plot to force us to disable our extensions or anything. I'm saying it's going to be a feature aimed at out-of-the-box security, which advanced users are free to tinker with as th

That purpose doesn't really make sense for me. Any IT department that wants to shut down unverified code on their intranet sites will just disable add-ons completely. I mean, it's a noble idea, to allow users to install their own

Also missing: an "about us" page. You'd think that this is irrelevant but before I commit myself to changing my company's workflow over to a new piece of software, I want to know about the people behind it. I want to kno

Be careful what you wish for. SomethingAwful voted out its mods and it went to shit _very_ quickly after. It's very hard to find mods who actually care about a community. Many of the very best communities on Reddit are very strictly mo

I really thought this was missing in the article. I understand that it's about the situation in the US, but at the very least a comparative analysis could've been made how the US regulatory environment differs from others around t

It only takes the first time someone types in `lisaann` in their address bar instead of `lisaann.local`. Fwiw, I believe they're either making this up or they work for a company that's too small to have an HR department.

I've been wondering what the purpose of those super-long ads is for some time, but now it suddenly occurred to me: they're for unattended youtube players. Plenty of shops, waiting rooms, lounges, bars, etc have a TV which is simpl

Also, if that were true, there wouldn't be a reason to ban Element or these other apps in the first place. Reproducible builds, combined with Android's developer-signed binaries, means that you don't _need_ to be super-vigila

Do _you_ want to be on the side that argues that our modern interpretations of age of consent may be a fad? Or that one day science may provide incontrovertible evidence that racism is entirely rational and appropriate? Arguing these is poi

I did a project once for a touchless interface using a Leap Motion (remember those?) for use in operating theatres. The software was a 3D viewer for MRI scans. The surgeons attached to the project were excited, because currently they operat

It is. The Falcon 9, of which there have been hundreds of launches already, costs $60 Million per launch. And somehow Musk thinks he can make a rocket that is 10 times bigger 30 times cheaper? Wishful thinking. Best case imho is that they t

I can turn a simple A* implementation into a behemoth of self-modifying, virtualised, encrypted code that will suddenly turn into Dijkstra as soon as you try to trace its behaviour. The time that assembly code was readable by humans is long

Software patents have never contributed anything to society. Software is materially antithetical to patents. You can only ever clearly observe the output of software, and in many cases it's either hard or impossible to investigate the

>almost 3 digits of profits I hope this is a typo, because $99/mo is nice to have, but I'd honestly consider the SaaS I'm building a failure if it made less than 4 digits a month.

Really worth not glossing over: Alice left £438 in funeral expenses. Going by the inflation calculation earlier in the article, that's over £130,000 in today's money. Obviously by today's standards, that's outrageous. Bu

The Voyager missions were able to use a rare and convenient alignment of the planets that would slingshot them into deep space. Juno is orbiting Jupiter itself, which is not a hard thing to do in our solar system. JUICE is attempting flybys

The 5-year ban is not an automatic outcome, I believe. Afaik it's imposed specifically in cases of gross mismanagement/fraud.

A chromebook, internally, is more a mobile device than a "real" computer. Plenty of high school kids today will own their first real computer when they go to college. Until then, most of their computing is done their iPhone or iPa

I wonder if he would've been happy running ReactOS or something like Haiku or SerenityOS. It seems that the major reason why XP worked for him was how dead simple it was. The fact is that there's no modern "simple" OS. I

Worse, they had a problem with a third-party add-on they installed. An add-on that likely would've been either two orders of magnitude more complex or straight-up impossible on Windows or macOS. I've had my fair share of OOMs and

I don't see how that's surprising, at least if you subscribe to the Endurance Running Hypothesis (and I do). Any prey humans used to hunt using what we now know as persistence hunting would have been large game. Especially in the
