There was a time when Apple was shipping dual-processor G4s, but Mac OS 9, in general, could only use one processor. There was a system extension that allowed Photoshop to use both. A co-worker of mine had one, and it was very much a system

Yeah, early above-ground telephone wiring was a horrible mess. This is one of those intermediate steps where the satellites are are awful. Even as they're implemented there should be a plan to get rid of them. If you search from pictur

I've owned a domain for 20 years and always had my mail hosted by one of the web hosting companies. I've used a couple hosting providers, but to be honest, I'm not certain how they've handled my mail in terms of privacy.

I haven't owned a car for about 8 years, but I use Zipcar rentals about once a month for recreation. The cars are often different models, so every time I drive I have to figure out how to adjust the steering wheel, seats, mirrors and g

Xtol was created in 1996, making it the last really new developer. My understanding is that one of the design goals was to make a developer that was less toxic, and that ascorbic acid was part of it. I wish they still sold it in 1 liter inc

In 50 years an old 'barn find' Tesla might seem stupidly simple compared to contemporary transportation devices. It might even function without network connectivity.

Harvard Square isn't a good example because Harvard owns so much of the property. That's why Davis/Porter/Central all have liquor/wine stores but Harvard doesn't. Businesses exist because Harvard allows it--not

Its the original audio performances, and I think this shows how important the actors are. Test deep fakes only on image and I think they fall down a lot.

I think that's exactly how contemporary disinformation campaigns work. Say its almost totally pesticides, the win for them is muddling it into 'numerous causes.' There's so much money involved in some of these issues tha

Prediction: When we watch the transit of Earth from Mars, it will be remotely--there just isn't much advantage to humans physically living on Mars. We can see/understand what's going on, without pointless expense, tragedies,

I used to own an old Ford Ranger, and in Winter I would have it loaded with bags of sand in the bed to improve traction on ice. I could have just as easily been hauling batteries everywhere.

In my youth I had a job converting old 8mm and 16mm home movies to video. About 25% were of people at Disneyland on a sunny day. In general they were completely biased towards bright happy moments, and I realized that old photos aren't

There are small towns like Corvallis, Oregon that do this because there's a need for transport around the university. The rest of the ridership might be mainly disabled/elderly who wouldn't pay much anyway. So the cost of adm

It is basically a chat program though right? It has some newer features, but they seem just like incremental improvements over proprietary chat applications I've been using for the last 25 years.

I agree about the air transport, but sea transport might be one of those low hanging fruits because it doesn't have any direct effect on individuals. I have no idea what could replace bunker fuel as an energy source, but if something d

It reminds me of the retirement home where my grandmother lived for several years. Her room was like a one-bedroom apartment without a kitchen. I visited her for meals which were served in what looked like a hotel restaurant. Guests could p

Synthetic materials also make automation easier. I wonder if leather handling is one of the most expensive parts of shoe manufacturing. I've suspected that's why Nike (and probably other companies as well) seem to have fewer and f

If a 'die-off' happens at large scale within a country that has nuclear weapons, everyone on the planet could be involved. For example, they could make a unilateral decision to detonate nuclear bombs on the surface of the earth to

This is an interesting concern for the big companies because a lot of bulk grocery items in the US are generic. Like, when I buy bulk peanuts they're just peanuts, not Planters™ peanuts. I've noticed that a grocery store near me h

Good point. Muddy beaches near ports that were active when these types of ships needed ballast. There's a port at San Antonio west of Santiago. Maybe ask someone around there?
