Is the article implying that Atlanta is special? I feel like if you intend to start a (non-localized) business, anywhere is better than SF, and the lower the cost of living the better.

Default body text sizes on most sites are too big, resulting in systems that make 500 words look like an acceptable size for an article. The only time large body text makes sense is in an advertisement, and advertisements should have no pla

I use the web interface for personal email (specifically, Google Inbox for gmail) & Alpine for work (because the web interface for that service is Outlook Web, which is unusable).

It really pisses me off when people are entirely ignorant of history. Come on, guys; the simulation theory was cliche by the early 1960s. In 1999, there were two hit movies about it, one of which was a direct adaptation of a book from the 1

Using something like adsense, you'd be very unlikely to make up any significant portion of expenses in that way. (You will probably get significantly less from advertising than you do in donations, if you've only had less than two

I've been using Linux on most of my machines since around 1999, because of perceived stability issues in Windows. I continued using it because the development toolchain on other platforms seemed crippled in comparison. I have an OSX ma

Depends upon the circumstances, and the agencies involved. If we're talking about the FBI, then sure -- the FBI does questionably legal things (or outright illegal things) all the time, and suit can be brought against them (though if y

State actors, when sufficiently motivated, are unlikely to be daunted by licensing terms. (Hell, private companies often violate license agreements in minor ways; meanwhile, state actors routinely violate international treaties / break

Xanadu definitely is still around, but this particular code was written in the early 80s & released as open source in 1999.

Looks like somebody missed the point. Hawkins Lab was not an actual DoE installation, but instead presumed DoE affiliation was a cover (after all, MKULTRA was a CIA program with aid from the Navy & Air Force, not a DoE program -- it wou

Daemon is arguably sci-fi about the future of work. (I haven't read the sequel yet, but from what I hear, it fits better into that category.) Charlie Stross's Halting State & Rule 34 could be slotted into that category as well

How does the audiobook compare with the radio play? (After all, the books were an -- albeit unfaithful -- adaptation of the radio play, which came first.)

Deep Leaf Audio did a really excellent audiobook version of The Illuminatus Trilogy that adds some layers on top of the book itself. I usually don't bother with audiobooks -- it's slower and more effort than reading -- but with th

I agree that the article was a little thin (to be honest, it's shorter than most articles I bother to read, let alone repost) & that it's misleading in suggesting that incompleteness is difficult to understand. That said, I&#x
