   The problem with these social hacks is that they continue to incentive shitty service. So instead of paying $30 for internet I'm paying $20, and to one of the few people who can possibly yell at the lazy internet vendor to fix things

   The wiki also lists it being shut off without specifying the reasons. "The fire department says that the bulb is at least 113 years old and has been turned off only a handful of times." I really doubt there's anywhere in the

   These are really impressive from a mechanical engineering point of view, but in all these demos the powerplant is not on the frame. Instead, power is fed via wire, making it stationary. Its a little disingenuous to claim it goes 28 mph when

   When I was younger I could probably handle a weirdo office like this for a year or two. Now? No way. I need some level of quiet, non-social time, etc to be focused and get things done. I imagine environments like this are the equivalent of

    I don't think that's true. The connector's plating isn't going to make it more durable, that has a lot more to do with the materials and design of the connector. Gold plating's biggest benefit is that it won't

    That's pretty critical of Orion. I don't think NASA can make something that's designed to last 2-3 weeks in space look 'sexy' like the Dragon vehicle. Its just going to need big ugly shield, big clunky switches, et

    by 1981 or so the acoustic coupler was antiquated. The modem had a controller that handled telephony stuff like dialing, hanging up, etc and a you'd just plug your POTS rj-11 straight into it.

    For non-full disk I just make AES encrypted files using 7zip. Considering just about everyone has 7zip installed its actually less of a pain in the ass that you'd think. The only downside I see is that 7zip seems to be almost abandonw

    Honestly, this just sounds like idealizing the past to me. In reality, factory work was demoralizing and even losing a small customer meant instant layoffs. The idea that things are worse today is fairly ridiculous and tends to reflect peo

    I'd rather have a low level white-collar job than a blue collar one. Running a lathe or changing 200 degree oil in a robotic arm kinda suck compared to rebooting servers or being a powerpoint jockey. Arguably, the white collar job has

    Is there an element of exploitation here from the media? It looks like Leo was on the Today show. I recall the homeless guy with a "radio voice" also got the same treatment, and ultimately, they both weren't able to normalize

    I'm not buying the "robots can't make drinks" argument. Restaurant automation was big in the 1960s and 70s, but it eventually became a flop. The technology mostly worked, but in the end, customers came more for the &quo
