Actual luxury stores (like Dior or Vuitton) are absolutely profiling their visitors. If you don't look like their typical customers (age, clothes, etc), you'll be mistreated or even sometimes kicked out as soon as you step in the

If the cars prices simply follow inflation, then there is no point in writing an article about why car prices in particular have gone up. Just write about inflation in general. Energy costs going up, raw materials costs going up, employees

That's not really new, the small teams in the 2000's with web frameworks like Rails were able to do as a team of 5 what needed a 50 people team in the 90's. Or even as a week-end solo project. What happened it that it because

Then they'll have to find a way to separate the "smart" frame from the prescription lenses, so you can change the glasses when your sight changes without having to buy smart frame each time - or the other way around, upgrade

Anti-cheat themselves are not the problem, developers who decide not to block Windows even when the anti-cheat would work is. Fortnite uses EAC which does work on Linux, only they decide to block it.

I don't think it's true, sci-fi rarely tries to be an accurate prediction of the future. Rather it's talking about the present, by accentuating some trends of the present to make people think about it. Black Mirror in particu

To put it simply, I don't think we'll get anything closer to the M1 on the x86 architecture. You'll have to wait for Framework to offer a Snapdragon instead of Intel/AMD but they haven't announced anything yet.

I'd say Chinese people are aware that their Internet is pretty different from the rest of the world. Americans tend to believe everyone is trying very hard to be like them (when they think about the rest of the world at all).

To be honest there were a lot of mobile OSes at the time supporting multitasking, like Windows CE, because they were desktop OS (Linux for Maemo, Windows for CE) with little adaptation for mobile. That meant performances and battery life we

I think staying curious and keep learning regardless of your age is key. You don't really want to be stuck in whatever tech was popular during your 20's or 30's and ignore or reject whatever is new.

I guess the world doesn't work like that because employers don't even understand high school economics. They'd rather have an employee spend 2 weeks on a task than shell out a few bucks at it, because they don't realize

Even in a European with lower wages compared to US, total cost of a developer will be minimum 5000 euros/per month. And that's just salary with all taxes, not accounting laptop costs, office space, etc. You just need a 4% increase

That's not the same, the system Japan is launching is a code for your address that doesn't change even if you move. It's not a direct mapping to a physical address, it's a DB where you can change which code points to wha

Exactly, I've had this exact discussion with a friend who bought a house in a cheaper town. Fake numbers but for the sake of arguments: he bought a $100k house, I bought a $300k house in a more expensive city. Real estate did a 2x, his

Bill Gates was reckless in the 90's when Microsoft was already leader and he was already a billionaire. He left his position as chairman at 60. Not really such an "early" retirement. But he's doing charity now, while sti
