A big factor is the rise of VC doing spike projects. We fund a group of very young, energetic people, gas them up on an idea, and burn them to validate a concept. Sometimes they make out well, and sometimes they fail completely, and sometim

Waiting for the "Freedom to Fly" act to drop any day now, which should prevent someone from flying without a pharma endorsement. It's like a perverse kind of poetry. --- People in here acting like it wouldn't be called t

Similar to Energy Vault and other potential energy storage schemes. Conceptually it's sound, but the implementation is weak with respect to real-world constraints.

Is that really all it takes to disable this? I guess if I'm a malware author looking to do surreptitious recording, I'll have to bundle these extra 10 lines of code lol...

From the text: Incorporate the history of mathematics into lessons. • Verbal Example: Why do you think we call it Pythagorean’s theorem, when it was used before he was even born? What should we call it instead? You can only cram

This is exactly the reason NYC terminated the gifted and talented program. They're all so woke that they've reinvented anti-literacy laws.

It's certainly not newer than spotify. If you want to compare experiences, think about how hard it would be to shuffle-play vinyl. Moreover, they're not removing the ability to shuffle and album; they're just making it play i

Tangential, but it reminds me of GNU parallel's man page example one-liner for regex-matching giant texts, which goes on to say: > If the problem is too big to be solved by this, you are probably ready for Lucene. https:/&#x2F

The other frustrating assertion is that this is all perpetuated to drive outrage because supposedly outrage gives rise to more ad sales. That might be strictly true, but that's not the point. The point is to control the dissemination o
