"We sold 2 million watches and did over $230m in sales." So from 0 to 2 million in 4 years? I was just explaining to my child that many "failures" are only failures from a strange but important angle. They might have bee

With years of experience in Quark, PageMaker, and FrameMaker, Scribus was familiar, but not comfortable. I haven't looked at it in a few years, so I hope it is much better now. But the unusability for me was not because of unfamiliarit

Once, while helping to assemble a brand-new bike, I was amazed when somebody came behind me and spun the wheel I had just attached. It didn't spin straight at all. They grabbed a spoke wrench and went to work. Tweak-tweak, spin. Tweak-

The U.S. has a nominally free press. There is a wide spectrum. But you will find a significant population that believes Jan 6 was fake. And you will find some who believe it was jovial tailgaters responding to a personal invitation from the

Simple naive economics suggests otherwise. If a 10% domestic requirement keeps demand artificially high, competition will enter the market. New factories, etc. will spring up to get a piece of the fat. They will compete on price, quality, e

The truth is readily available in Russia. But just like everywhere else, truth and lies are rejected or embraced regardless of how flimsy or strong they are. Human bias and other psychology can be astounding.

So you mean to provide Russia with a more stable platform from which to invade again in say, 5 years? You don't change any of the context that led Russia to invade in the first place. You leave intact an aggressor who has repeatedly an

So ARM's lack of fragmentation means I can install any Android ROM on any ol' ARM device? Or are ARM devices so crazily fragmented that I need to custom compile for each and every device in existence?

Like I said, you aren't ready to hire. You don't even know if you need a new grad, a junior, a senior, or a principal. You don't know if they need Kubernetes and/or Terraform experience. Here, let me help. You need a pri

I kinda think it is good that you would be discouraged. Think about it a lot more before you post. Are you willing to pay 150k or not? Do you really need two hires? Who will be the new hire's boss? You aren't ready to hire somebod

A response to "Who's hiring" that is so vague as to not indicate whether it is hiring a Graphic Artist or a cafeteria Dish Washer is a waster of everyone's time, anyway. Hundreds of developers polish up their two-page re

The original argument was that nuclear proliferation has brought peace. Even if you argue that it has brought peace to countries that own nukes, you'd be wrong. Israel does not have peace. USA does not have peace. Russia does not have

Sigh. India, Pakistan, Falkland Islands, Tibet, Israel, ... And yes, in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Afghanistan again, Iraq, Syria, and others, one or more parties in the conflicts had nukes.

This reminds me very much of the slow motion train wreck leading into WWII. Germany had to fight hard in the same kind of political way back then, too. That was obviously pre-nuke. It takes a long time to build the many (logistical, psychol

I'm not convinced. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan again, Syria, Peru, Mali, ... When you say "world peace", do you mean European peace? California peace? Where is your world?

Perhaps towards the other extreme, some hydroponic systems capture any evaporated water and re-introduce it into the cycle. By some standards, this is "better technology." But there are different standards. Open waterways meet oth

In that case, what if you swapped out the language for, say, Scheme? Does that help?

In the first scenario, the repeat offender is clearly the tagger. But to address your valid question, the scheme shifts the costs to the scooter provider who would likely then impose costs on the scooter polluter. Although they may instead

Perhaps it is human nature to want to inflict harm on those we perceive to be causing harm. This rarely leads to the best outcome. So I would love to hear from cooler heads that could improve the following idea and take the pointless retrib

Sounds perfect. Any up and coming CEO wannabe could take the Mozilla job to prove they've got the chops. Then, after turning things around, they could ride off into the sunset at any of those other corps. Everybody wins.

I think Mozilla and Firefox are cherished by a lot of people who would like to see them thrive. But I think if given a choice, most of those people would prioritize the survival of a viable competitive web browser. The name of the product a
