This is one of those articles where a map or graphic would speak well in excess of 1000 words.

probably most common on the big island I'd imagine, due to the peak there. I don't really have a proof for this, but it seems like atmospheric charge mostly builds up due to charged dust and other particulates being blown up from

It's not just about gating things behind permissions, it's also about exposing them in a reasonable way. Looking through the list of apps that want to "Control my computer using Accessibility Features", the attack surfac

Would be interested to see this map overlayed with the orbits of their satellites.

No, that's a bad analogy. A circuit board is not something that gets re-built every time you make a change. You can't just arbitrarily run traces around a board and expect a working design that meets EMI/EMC requirements. I&#

Ehh, more than 90% of my time making a board is in reading data sheets & Application notes, making a schematic, component selection, component library building, and part placement. Routing is the easy part and relaxing enough that I lik

Great advice. I sometimes use a similar technique to clean/organize my house, and prevent myself from going down the rabbit hole of "what do I do with this stuff?", "I need to list that on eBay", "Oh this is th

"The order requires Opendoor to pay the Commission $62 million, which is expected to be used for consumer redress." What does the FTC actually do with the money in cases like these? Give it to harmed consumers?

Ehhhh, he said "All-SSD NAS on a budget", not a "Budget SSD NAS". Agree though that this was a bit of a miss; the cost of drives here dwarfs everything else, and it makes the choice of case, MB, etc. nearly irrelevant an

The same reason the International System of units is referred to as SI, and not IS: the French.

Seriously, I was reading this article wondering the same thing. Nanoseconds since X is a fairly unambiguous reference (relativity aside). Use this for any kind of timestamp or recordkeeping. Convert to UTC (or EST, CST, etc.) as necessary f

That’s a little disingenuous. Something like an herbicide that’s broadly applied to fruits and vegetables that millions of people are eating should be under far higher scrutiny than a niche product that has limited human contact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dérive Debord defines the dérive as "a mode of experimental behaviour linked to the conditions of urban society: a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances." It is an

If the problem is the computer systems, what good will it do to watch them being made?

I'll take that bet - announcements like these aren't made just for fun

yes, microwaves don't penetrate that far. It would be like tanning under the sun vs tanning under a giant magnifying glass.

Title should be updated to "Marxist commodity". Any Renascence courtesan (or tribal leader) could have told you that human attention is valuable. The difference now is that attention is quite nearby fungible, and near-readily exch

Yeah, I have young kids and the last thing I need is 3 cars, each with a removable battery, dedicated battery charger, etc. Just wish there was something you could plug into an existing charger and go

Almost certainly. Dealers enjoy a state sanctioned monopoly on new car sales, and even non-Tesla dealers sued Tesla for their no-dealer business model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_US_dealership_disputes#S...

Look at the case of Atherton, CA - multi-million dollar home values due to city ordinances around minimum lot size and land usage. The land value here is created by scarcity, and driven largely by the success of the greater metro area. But

It seems like the biggest challenge to Georgism is that municipality/county/state/federal regulations on land use would have a significant effect on land value. A landlord might lobby for restrictive land use policy while sit

Code is only half of the problem here. The other half is operations. Applications don't just run on their own; they need deployment, maintenance, backup, recovery, new feature requests, etc. etc. Unlike the majority of infrastructure i
