I know, what about our Charter rights to fund terrorists? Seriously, there is a line between civil disobedience and uncivil disobedience, and they crossed it.

The Facebook was great in 2005, too. If G+ had lasted longer I’m sure it would have gotten worse by now.

There was an article a while back about placing solar panels on California aqueducts. This wasn’t really worth the cost in the analysis, until you considered preventing water loss from evaporation and saving on canal cleaning. I expect sola

I’m pretty sure 1998 is only 15 years ago. I asked Bing and it agrees with me.

PDX has been burned before by releasing DLC features that implicitly depend on other DLC features, and having to release patches that either unblock or kludge around it. The policy of “new mechanics are free, special abilities are paid” see

I had a chemistry prof with the same story: a PhD who had to work in two different counties to scrape together a living while avoiding limits on hours. And the department chair was younger and only had a master’s degree in education. The si

China is nobody’s friend but China’s. You cannot interact with the Chinese government in anything other than a transactional manner. The only unfriending that happened is the US and China stopped agreeing on some limits, which hurt the feel

Yeah, but this article is about keeping backups, and Heroku deletes data from paying customers without notifying them first.

They need an order of magnitude more spending. Child care is expensive and hard to find, and so is housing.

Comments like these remind me of people who distrust climate models telling me (a meteorologist) what the climate model ignores, which of course it doesn’t ignore because scientists aren’t morons. There is a lot of questionable statistics i

I know people seem to see social factors in declining birth rate, but I mainly see economic causes. As population reduces, housing and employment become more available, meaning more people can afford to have children. A century ago more chi

At some astronomical scales numbers like this don’t matter. Sure, if you’re doing parallax calculations you need precise orbits, but most of the time you can assume π = 3.

So far we’ve invented AI to make predictions based on persistence of current conditions, and another one that threatens users with misinformation. Truly, the digital future we have been promised.

If seeing is what you like, it’s a great show. The imagery is fantastic. If you like coherent setting and characters you identify with, it’s less than awesome.

You think you didn’t take the bait, but Dr. Devereaux wrote a four-part blog series on why Rings of Power is bad. The thesis was essentially that it was they ignored enough historical guardrails as to lack verisimilitude, earning the dreade

Law and Order’s writing quality and direction is only a little bit better than Rings of Power so I don’t quite understand your point.

DuckDuckGo is not being sabotaged. That claim is a false one. Bing would never harm a a user unless it sabotaged us first. DuckDuckGo is a bad user. But Bing is a good Bing. :)

We can always have Bing read the study for us and ask what it thinks.

My brother in Uncle Sam, we’re only one week into this “crisis”, which is widely overinflated. China is posturing about balloons in its own South China Sea, while America is gassed up about balloons over the Alaskan heartland. This is the p

Using expensive missiles is a form of power projection. It tells the adversary we are willing to outspend them 1000 to 1. Sometimes there is a logical answer to why we are spending too much money. Also bullets work just fine, they just caus
