Given his interest in technology it's a bit surprising to me that he didn't get involved much in social media or YouTube. As for banking on it, he hasn't had to worry about money for a very long time - he's been one of t

Yeah, I think it's someone looking at the digital media endgame and deciding that it's not long before even complex physical objects can be "digitized" and replicated.

As someone that uses Python intermittently it seems like there's still a lot more tutorials, Q&A, and documentation for v2 on the internet than for v3. When searching for info about python it's often difficult to tell if I&#x2

That's rather arbitrary. Lots of people use Slack for both work and personal. The deeper I look and more I think about Peach, the more it looks like a messaging app that lost it's vision. I feel the same way about Snapchat lately

Am I missing something? This looks like they bundled a subset of Slack's features and called it a social network. Typing "GIF," for instance, lets users search for the appropriate media to post Seems a lot like /giphy

As someone that grew up driving in the midwest I get a little nervous about autonomous driving being developed in California. It's a bit of a cliche, but CA drivers are notoriously bad drivers in winter conditions. Of course the ration

It is ridiculous, as is a heavily armed tactical squad being called on a quiet suburban family of four. Unfortunately it's the sort of bullshit that the public seems to allow when it's framed as a "War". One possible way

Is it just me, or does that seem like a surprising set of features for a mid-cycle release. Typically it's just bug fixes for anything other than a major OS launch.

That episode was pretty interesting, and it gives a whole new perspective on traditional medicine and science. TLDR - a microbiologist and a historian decided to try a very old cure for a stye (staph infection in a pore of the eyelid). Afte

With the country’s record-low birthrate, aging population, and the threat of losing a third of its population by 2060, Japan faces a number of crises... It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few decades. Many Europe

Not sure what they do actually. It could be a fertilizer, spray, or some other process, but somehow they end up with glutamic acid in the banana. Other brands aren't usually a problem, and often organic Dole is fine as well. Based on t

It's really crazy how common MSG is, and as a result it can be very difficult to diagnose an allergy. A friend of mine has a severe reaction to MSG (diarrhea, skin lesions, etc.), and it took years of misery before he figured out the c

Not the most successful comparison, but it looks proportionally similar to the V-22 Osprey (also a VTOL aircraft).
