Everything had its positive and negative side. Hindenburg sure made some bold calls that led to unraveling some frauds & Ponzi. But they're also in it for money. No point applying a moral coat of paint. He took on listed Adani in I

Thanks for the post...did not know about this. Just went through the website and read through some documents. It is quite easy to read and understand. One part I couldn't follow was security - other than items listed (file system, HTTP

Problem for Android users like me is Chrome is the default on mobile, so all passwords bookmarks etc are there. Of course we can install Firefox but I find Chrome better on mobile. Just couldn't get used to FF on Android. Moving to lap

Market will sort that out just like it did dotcom or tulip madness. Another big push back is copyrighted content. Without proper revenue model how to pay for that? That will also restrict what can be "learned". Already there'

Yes for sure AI or even basic computing prior to that has done wonders, chess being one example. Simply removing some of the issues with humans - inconsistency, errors due to mood or form etc. I agree this approach is only viable one but I

May be I'm being dumb but isn't the AI approach somewhat like brute force hacking of password? I mean humans don't learn that way - yes we do study code to be better coders but not in the way AI learning does? Will someone tr

It's not just one thing. Their diet very low calorie.. Low on fat. If we eat oil like Mediterranean fat like Intuit's, carb like Raramurii, protein like Americans will have worst health of all.

These tiny PC with 4" boards have changed the game. Pi is sort of in-between the Arduino and these. As article points out the price difference is not much. I bought 4B and found it slow, hot. Thanks to COVID I could resell it for a tid

A lesson for countries. What a loss for Turkey! They lost their Jews, Armenians & so much else. Bizarre that we think of Italy, Japan even Korea for good coffee but rarely Turkey which is where it started.

That's what I meant by different sense. Yes. But I suspect it applies to citizen facing things. It doesn't likely hold up research or pressures them into returning POC Viking images. I could be wrong of course.

One area where I'll be worried about China (not sure India as it's following USA in many ways) is they needn't spend time, resources on ensuring political compliance. Maybe yes in a different sense but not in the same sense a

Think it's not simple China or India issue. Even in those countries, new gen kids grow up with too much not too little, depending of course on who their dads are. Even with latest hardware, there must be incentives to optimise on size,

Can't agree more. Especially as I wait to download 1.3gb file to update some Windows driver like Realtek audio or LED display, and you realise a whole effing Debian operating system with Xfce & apps can fit in a lot less.
