I recently went all in- I cancelled Spotify and bought premium YouTube and YouTube music. The music discovery system in YouTube music is far far better than anything Spotify have. I suppose it's due to YouTube already knowing what musi

Agreed. Imagine if reality was inverted and electric cars were as common as gas cars are now and you proposed moving people to gas cars. Everyone would be incredulous- what? I have to drive somewhere a mile away to refill? With a highly tox

While I share the same hope, don't get too excited. There are billions in the rising ranks who don't care and may be from a country that exist lower on Maslow's hierarchy of needs than first world countries.

The specific nature of my issue is that there are a finite number of hours in a day. If you go to the trouble of working on multi-year open source project it shows a lack of foresight to not include a quick install guide for one of the most

I wish there was a simple guide somewhere to install Riot on a Rpi so that I could try it out.

Great idea. Fouling the rotating props as they maintain GPS dead reckoning may be a risk they don't want to take.

I flew several thousand miles to be on Cocoa beach that fateful day to witness it for my own eyes. It's one of the things I'm most proud of having accomplished. I cannot imagine what it feels like to actually work on the project.

Worse than that, Uber are taking money from investors and directly giving it to the drivers to subsidise the trip price for the consumer all in an effort to build market share. It's folly to think that customers are going to remain loy

I always hear this comment and yet no one can provide one example where a technology or innovation was similar in the past. From air travel, electric cars and medicine, the rich get it first before prices drop for mass marketability.

Well, to play devil's advocate to your point, it's barely Facebook's fault that the public has an appetite for such heinous material. People want to watch these things, why do we blame Facebook for that and not ourselves?

MCAS is safe in its current implementation like nuclear power is safe- it works well when you know exactly what you're doing at all times.

Theres no reason with C2C communication coming online that cars will simply move out of the way if you put the car into emergency mode. Obviously we would build anti-abuse features into the system. Pushed out further, I don't mind if s

As a kid, when my parents would drive us on long journeys the front of the car would be caked with dead insects and that doesn't happen anymore on long drives. Something drastic is happening.

Motorways are absolutely needed in a modern country. To suggest otherwise is wilfully ignorant.

Google wifi is a solid product, but needs a completely separate backhaul network for client mesh handover. Once set up properly it's unbelievably good in a larger house.

There's always someone, no matter what, who rails as hard as they can for the victim card. Go and take a look in the mirror.

A bitcoin is divisible to 8 decimal places so what you are talking is not an issue whatsoever.

What you're saying is fine, if the cost of the course doesn't financially cripple the student for 25 years, which is what is mostly happening.

Needing to dispatch local field engineers is telling because it shows they do not have/prioritise remote login capabilities in their access layer switching infrastructure. A single interface shutdown command would have been all that wa

I don't think that's fair to say. Billions of people unlock their phone or log in to their computers every morning and everything works, pretty much all of the time.

From what I gather, the price of local generation has reached the point where it is less than the cost of high voltage transmission. Add to that battery storage will reach about 100kwh in the next two years and there's no reason anywhe

Last week 604 BTC were traded using Localbitcoin Venezuela, a country where the typical monthly salary is far less than 5 US dollars. If that's not enough to convince you that Bitcoin has a good use-case, I don't know what will.

There are 3,287 road deaths each and every day. I think this article is reaching when they have to go back as far as 2010 for an example.

Don't knock it until you try it. It's actually quite a good application of "social media" for a company because the domain is so specific.
