Chomsky is one of the most internationally-known intellectuals. Most people in my country (Argentina) know him for that, rather than his work in linguistics. ... So I think it's very unfair to say he's speaking "outside of hi

What amazed me the most of UE, is that ILM uses it for real time rendering of backgrounds in the immersive LED environment where they shoot The Mandalorian.

Twitter has the largest database of tweets. If you want an AI that writes tweets, there’s nothing better. Why? Twitter could offer a service that bypasses the need for community manager… just feed it a press release, or product website, and

If memory serves me right, that was one of the big raisons d'etre for Chrome (released in 2008)... so Snow Leopard (2009) was catching up with it more than solving a Mac specific issue. But yes, back then the big big plugin was Flash,

The issue with “non commercial” is that no, it’s not well established. Licenses with a NC clause are so problematic to be practically useless. If you just want to use something at home privately you don’t need a CC license… a CC license is

It doesn’t have to be volunteers. The organization running a forum can be a non-profit, and charge users for the maintenance costs. In the age of people paying to belong to a community via Patreon, Discord, Twitch, etc. it shouldn’t be hard

Decentralized software is not the only alternative. A non-profit site would be much better than a publicly owned one. Further, it could be operated by a co-op and democratically run, with its own “laws”.

In Argentina everyone is on WhatsApp… but it’s not “to not discriminate anyone”. It’s because when WhatsApp came about we were still paying through the nose for SMS… so it was seen as “free text messages”. Then voice messages became super p

Email passwords are not for preventing impersonation. For one, POP3 passwords are separate from SMTP. Second, nothing in SMTP prevents impersonation… large mail handlers like GMail don’t allow it anymore, but you can put whatever you want i

As an Argentinian who LOVES root beer (and Dr Pepper, and Guarana) I agree. Enough people like Guarana in Argentina, but I don't imagine root beer succeeding. Weirdly, a mate-based soda is super popular in Germany, but when we had a (d

That swipeable element is standard in the Apple Watch UI vocabulary. It only needs to be intuitive for Apple Watch users. It’s not a button to avoid an accidental press, because the false positive means emergency services are dispatched… an

The reason for bundling is converting potentially hundreds of individual script files to an amount that’s more manageable with a browser, without suffering a cost from latency… not only optimizing code size. Also, besides tree-shaking there

In Argentina they’ve been scamming people by pretending to be a relative for years now! No AI required. Somebody calls you in the middle of night, distraught, and crying says “mom?” or “dad?”. Then someone interrupts, claims your son or dau

Apple’s geographical restrictions are account based, not current location based. Some apps are only available in certain countries. Hence, even free, apps are associated with an account in a particular region. Also, it’d be easy to ruin som

It might be a problem to treat it as copyright. Copyright applies to reproduction, distribution, public performance... if I go to a library or bookstore and I read books and look at their covers, copyright does not apply. Would an android t

I HATED people saying “we want to add a shopping cart to the website” (i.e. we want to implement a full e-commerce solution for our business that currently has none). Not because the term was wrong, but because they thought about the icon

I also like the Kindle purchase experience. I usually put a sample in the Kindle, check it out, and then with a single click I can have the full book in minutes without going to my computer or phone. Calibre provides a very good service, bu

In Argentina “terminar” is OK but “acabar” (almost same meaning) is the dangerous one.

I don’t think he means friends in that literal sense. Someone you feel kinship and can make a gesture out of love for someone, even if you barely know them. Sometimes you’re right and the other person sígnals back that you’re indeed in the

Same. Too much cynicism, too little empathy. I relate with the story. Many times in my life I put love in my work (passion for the work itself, going the extra mile) and I feel it was not acknowledged. The gap between ones commitment to the

I agree. I also had to use a chat that put you on hold until an operator became free, while the site itself had a auto-logout if you didn’t click a box after X minutes waiting.
