I remember all taxis in Portugal being beige Mercedes in the 80s,when Portugal wasn't well off. I guess their durability is what made them worthwhile.

If there's an evil plot, it's goal must surely be to accelerate environmental degradation. First we had the blockchain, now AI to consume enormous amounts of resources and distract us from what we should be investing in to make th

I feel that many coders have a very basic understanding of SQL, don't really want to get better at it, and don't really care. If they can get away with a query that takes 2s to return a single row, they will be quite content and w

My dad was also an Engineer. He was also a Fortran fan. Once he asked me to explain OOP. After I explained the basics he said it was useless and never looked back.

But they don't have agency and who would trust them unattended anyway (at their current capabilities)?

Although I feel that many countries have transitioned to a time of liberty, when people can live as they truly wish, some people are afraid to embrace this freedom. Of course, families can be a powerful force. But, as my father once told me

I only ever enter a McDonald's for coffee and there seems to be an issue with my order more often than not. And there is always someone very upset about their order. It's really not an inviting place.

I've read about efforts to produce more material in other languages, like Jamaican Patois. Considering the amount of money being pored into AI, I do think it would be in the general interest to set aside some funding for these projects

I know people who eat a type of ant that stores a sugary liquid. They grow a big belly and just sit still as a food dispenser for the rest of the colony. I would surely try it given the chance. I've also seen Mexicans eat crickets with

That's just not true. It's 60% and 20% for items below US$50. You could theoretically get charged over 100% the price of the product if you buy something really cheap and shipping is more expensive than the product because shippin

Yes, Fujitsu did some nasty things, but half the world would have reasons not to do business with the UK. Plus, the Post Office Scandal had a lot of input from the PO itself and the British legal system. It was a very British failure overal

There's actually a third group: many folks in poor countries have no option but to start some sort of business as jobs pay very little. There's a supermarket chain in Uruguay that started from selling vegetables on a street corner

I like using coins because I'm always looking for commemorative coins. It's an interesting investment: you can immediately double or triple your money. Unfortunately, you rarely find them. I also keep the obvious fakes.

As people get comfortable with AI they'll get lazy and this will become common. A solution is to put someone extra into the workflow to check the final result. This way AI will actually make more jobs. Ha!

It's small text on a small label that online vendors don't bother to check.

TP-Link let me down twice. I bought a cellphone from them many years ago and they never really supported it and I couldn't even buy a replacement battery. Recently I bought a router with the firm intent of installing OpenWRT, but I rec

Are there any laws that protect labour in the US? Will they get their salaries and some extra compensation for the tardiness?

I find it comical that modern beachwear leaves almost nothing to the imagination and nudity is still taboo in some cultures.

The last time I checked, the only 5,25" floppies that still worked from that age were the ones in those Acornsoft covers.
