I still like getting surprised when a new or unorthodox narrator knocks it out of the park but I’d really enjoy a “salvage this purchase” exit hatch with a AI voice alternative. I’d even pay a buck or two on top of an existing purchase to a

They also report on people who die in accidents who weren’t wearing seat belts or when kids aren’t secured in car seats, or when people hop barriers and try to walk across 10 lane highways at night and then get smeared by a semi. This isn’t

Fine, for permitting and regulations and inspections, let’s 100x the cost and say it’s an annual expense too. This is still well within Google’s budgets to provide to their Android teams.

Building a Faraday cage is an afternoon woodworking project. You can build them in your garage or bedroom with hand tools if you wanted. You don’t even need a huge room, a portable phone booth sized space could be mass produced and delivere

Google absolutely is not about to jump ahead of Apple until they make good on that promise. Call us back in 7 years.

Sure, and by existing laws and court rulings they haven't done anything wrong except be a preferred choice by many consumers. This is not comparable in any way to antitrust transgressions that got Microsoft in trouble, nor do they have

Yes. But this is trivializing the definition of monopoly I just warned against. What can't be construed with this logic? Verizon holds a monopoly on the devices they allow on the Verizon network. Wal-Mart holds a monopoly on the produc

Because Apple holds no monopolies unless you trivialize the definition to include virtually everything.

The jank was also forgivable when it was a one man effort or a very small team. Plus it was a relatively novel idea for the game being created for the first time. It also made no grandeur promises of what was to come, and continually made i

But you can build a school and then dump 50 tons of shredded tires on the playground as a woodchip alternative.

Digestible maybe, but swapping "friendly" in for "fucking" changes the tone and intent of someone's statement. At least "freaking" expresses similar, if muted, exclamation. A recipient who is being not-so-

They're often the absolute best deal, if you're not myopically centered on a MSRP comparison and you can consider total cost of ownership.

Refine the age of "kid", or at least where their abilities already are because this would be a big endeavor for most elementary school age kids. Understanding a working electronic CPU builds on many, many abstract concepts that ne

Ember and Rails were both extremely popular at one time. They both went from web development darlings to being legacy products to support. There are still fanatics for both, but there are VB6 fanatics to this day too. Fanatics don't me

I don’t think React is the final way to do web development but there are tangible benefits to a large community of users that aging competitors want to pretend don’t exist. Just like there used to be a jQuery plugin for anything you wanted,

If you can afford 50% of your housing replacement cost in premiums every year you probably don’t need a mortgage.

There’s been more effort in the Ember community poured into telling us it’s not dead yet than into doing anything relevant outside the Ember community in the last decade. Might as well have said Dojo and Knockout, it would have meant the sa

I believe you are wrong there. Transformative art requires no licensing as long as it falls under fair use. I can quote a book in my article without licensing the quote from the author. I can clip eyebrows off of copyrighted magazine portra

You can "hand paint" in Photoshop, but you can also assemble collages composed of bits and pieces of other copyrighted works and create a result that is still copyrightable. Why is the latter currently legal in your opinion?

Llama and Stable Diffusion have proliferated already. Many countries view this as an arms race. Propose a plausible way to put the AI toothpaste back in the tube, because this stance seems profoundly impractical.

Videos as a medium are also incentivized to reach certain lengths so they can inject ads into otherwise boring and mundane topics. As an example, try to look up on YouTube how to replace your car fob’s battery (doesn’t matter what brand) an

As a developer targeting Edge is fine, there's not really any significant difference between building a page that supports it versus any other Chrome derivatives. But as a user wow is it the most trashy and abusive program I routinely

We call those architecture astronauts. The pile of abstractions stacks to the moon but when you chase down what's actually happening a 60 file repo ends up holding like 12 lines of actual programming.

Besides any of its standalone functions, an iPad makes a useful secondary display when traveling with a Mac, plus it serves as pretty large external battery pack for any other devices if needed. I’m not backpacking everything, I usually hav

Kudos for him for reverting the binary requirements but it was still weeks after the initial objections to foisting binaries onto users unannounced, with not much productive discussion in between that and that pre-RFC. It's not clear t
