The fact that creators are still required to edit out sound from audio from passing cars is insane. It's a system designed to be a money grab for the music industry, not follow any sort of legal definition of copyright. The idea th

For me it was palpitations from 5-HTP. Heart skips a beat, then sudden extreme vertigo and anxiety skyrockets. This happened several times a day. And magnesium caused a dull, ever-present pressure/ache in the left side of my chest that

I don't know, his punishments seem to vary in quality quite a bit. On one hand, making a nanny who hit a child research and write a report on the effects of child abuse seems like an extremely good way to deter recidivism, and make an

Had almost exactly the same problem, down to identical symptoms -- same side of my body, etc. My guess it that it's due to some supplements I was taking years ago (chiefly 5-HTP and magnesium) causing chest pain and/or heart palpi

Regal just launched their own unlimited movies subscription for $18 a month. Then again, they don't have to pay full price to a middleman like MoviePass did.

I think it would be great for someone to introduce well-crafted legislation, formed with the input of smart, savvy, educated, and Big Tech-hostile technologists, that establishes some kind of standards board to review and levy fines for thi

The 1st Amendment was developed in a time when there was no such conceivable thing as an anonymous forum of people that encouraged each other to kill crowds of civilians at random with machine guns, leading to such killings actually being c

$16 is still a lot more than we're each going to get from the $31 million. Millions of people have signed up, which means we might get a buck or two each if we're lucky. So arguably, if you really want to stick it to Equifax, th

Or maybe something that's just a little more like a college dorm than an apartment building or a suburb -- neighbors in close proximity that you're forced to attend social events with and get to know. I feel like we consistently c

A big part of the problem is that many designers seem to really want to be artists, not designers, and they tend to want to pull design in an artistic (i.e. form-centric) direction. A casual glance at Dribbble makes this pretty clear.

Photoshop is more than 30 years old. And in three decades, the impact of manipulated images on people's reputations hasn't been quite as devastating as people once feared. Why won't it be the same this time? It's much

Unfortunately, the options for non-smart TVs keep getting narrower. Manufacturers want to inject app access into every device they can. You can't even buy a UHD disc player without an app platform coming with it.
