Being smooth socially IS a skill. We should stop dismissing the talent/ability to interact with other humans. People have to make trust decisions with limited and imperfect information. The world is full of danger and risk. Being able

The Affinity suite - now for $80 due to Black Friday - is a viable competitor to Photoshop for many applications. It's much better than Gimp.

That was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but the term isn't very consistently applied. I mentioned it just in case someone thinks that a person from a Latino/Hispanic background would have a hard time in this part of the country (I&#x27

I moved to Forsyth County, GA, where my child has access to excellent computer science and musical education (not to mention AP classes and 3 tiers bases on student achievement). In fact, he didn't make it to the top tier in everything

I had to leave California so my gifted child could get a proper education. Now he's getting it, while I'm paying roughly half in property taxes.

No. The elites in neither side would win in this particular conflict if it becomes much bigger. Because of that, it won't happen. However, the status quo of a frequent limited conflicts has significant profit potential, so you'll

Most American workers have subsidized insurance from their job. But how about if I ask "And after paying for mortgage?"

"not very well regarded" being an euphemism. It's often seen as a pool of lower performers.

Gas isn't renewable, though. You can have Ethanol from corn "forever".

I bought a Bose home theater system but have been pretty unhappy with the purchase after spending $1500+. Poor visual aids, signal detection and touch controls, requiring frequent use of remote control due to flaky integration with the TV.

Makes sense, but don't forget that Ethanol is also an energy reservoir. It works at night, it's easy to get more of it when you need it. So it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, there is much utility in being able to easil

It is a brilliant book, first book I bought with my own money college. It makes math interesting and approachable.

These "AI said this and that" articles are very boring and they only exist because of how big companies and the media misrepresent AI. Back in the day, when personal computers were becoming a thing, there were many articles just l

Even some of the old guard can do this. The Olympics worked pretty well (despite the awkward UI), and that was Peacock/NBC. Perhaps Netflix still needs a dozen more microservices to get this right...

Carl Sagan was among the clearest science speakers ever. I miss him. I watch the old Cosmos every few years.

I'm glad she's standing up to this nonsense. My parents would have spent their life in jail if these authoritarian officers caught wind of what I did by myself as an early teenager...

I never liked Grim Fandango despite recognizing its importance. I think it's too weird in a bad way. For me, it lacks the optimistic fantasy of LucasArts previous entries and is just too, well, Grim. I wouldn't call it a masterpie

Memory is memory, irrespective of whether it's "code memory" or "data memory". Back in the bad old days you could just use precompiled textures which are basically a set of memory write CPU instructions using immedi

Today: Firefox gives up on itself. We need new Firefox leadership right away so it goes back to being a credible alternative rather than a fanboy browser.

The compact is likely unconstitutional. It hasn't been tested in courts because it hasn't been "activated". I wouldn't put my hopes in this solution (or any other, it's non-issue IMHO)

In poor countries the government sometimes runs TV ads explaining how to make the rehydrating solution this at home. This simple program saved millions of children. Boil the water, add sugar and salt... Voila

I've seen enough elections to know that, irrespective of the winner, the big picture will remain roughly the same; the rich will get richer, and everybody else will keep getting the leftovers. So, whenever someone says "this is th

God forbid them dropping the click bait and use your much better headline, which would actually make me want to read the article. (We could maybe add "after shortening the work week")

I am an author, and I don't think I'm entitled to have my work protected for 90+ years. Also, "piracy" is inevitable so the assumption is built-in my strategy.
