Given that there would never be an infinitely large network, how likely is it that this sort of de-duplication would offer benefits? We use hashes to ensure data integrity because if a single bit is changed in the data the hash will reliabl

Promoting Aliexpress as an alternative in the first paragraph is a bit inconsistent with the j’accuse on disregard for intellectual property laws on Amazon. The Aliexpress deals are likely over, since they were being subsidized by the US

There’s no such thing as a non-removable battery, just different degrees of difficulty in the removing. If the iFixit instructions [1] look like too much work, most malls have some guy in a kiosk who will fix your problem for a relative pit

There is already a circle around an individual’s health data. This represents an expansion of that circle, and I think by focusing on the technology before it becomes too deeply integrated into “the way things are” it can happen quickly, in

Wow, that’s quite the story. I’d also add that I see them frequently in Canada where presumably the same scam didn’t happen, or at least to such a great extent. I still think there’s a cultural piece to it. This also really shows how #medic

This is really cool. Bit of an aside: I used to take notes and share code using SubEthaEdit which pioneered this sort of collaborative editing over a decade ago. While it’s now pretty normal to see students taking collaborative notes in cla

I basically agree that the quoted statement supports the idea of a dysfunctional system, the system is crazy. But it should also be acknowledged that it’s pretty rational for a country to spend more on health care as it becomes wealthier. B

Just in case you aren’t aware, google deprecated the + operator years ago. If you want to ensure a single word is in your results you can put quotation marks around it. It mostly works.

I’m not saying that you’re not making a valid point, but I would like to point out that you can still install the community-supported whited00r [1] on that 3G and still get some life out of it. Sure it’s probably breaking all sorts of copyr

Hayek proposed a new amendment that would state, “Congress shall make no law authorizing government to take any discriminatory measures of coercion.” [1] Which would help end this sort of structural corruption. Corporate welfare is one of t

An interesting counterpoint is that the stock is down ~5% in after hours trading on weak Q1 guidance. Apple’s guidance is always pretty conservative though, and the market hasn’t gotten used to it.

Legalization of cannabis in the The Netherlands lowered usage amongst teens. Making pot less accessible to teens was one of Trudeau’s primary arguments for legalization in Canada. Street dealers have a lot of reasons to not ask for ID.
