In-Q-Tel, folks. Look it up. It funded all this "social media" BS early on for what appears to be precisely this reason.

IMO you need percussion to really show the capabilities of the speakers or headphones. Cymbals especially sound like mud on bad speakers.

My point is that if "playing games" for days on end is a concern, this does next to nothing to fix that. In fact, I'm not even sure there is a fix per se. As a parent, I think this is a big problem. Literally an entire genera

There are also self-hosted, and offline games. Shit, my 17 yo plays until 4 in the morning somehow even though his internet turns off at 10pm and his phone has no data plan.

LOL at people still thinking any of this is "temporary" or it will stay "mild". You're looking at stratification of society a year from now where anyone whose mandatory booster shot is older than 6 months can't

China, apparently, does not know any 18 year olds. I'm sure they'll all voluntarily comply, no problem. /s

Salon, so probably fake news, but anecdotally, I've had a lot of good ideas while just walking outside (or in the shower, which I suspect could have the same effect). Basically when I'd get stuck on something hard at work, I'

There have been so many of these, and yet we, DL practitioners, are still SOL trying to find NVIDIA cards for less than 3x MSRP. Not even gonna bother with this until I can buy it.

The best way to make money now is by borrowing a ton of money long term and investing it into property. Doesn't even matter what kind. Source: every single Russian oligarch, who borrowed eye watering amounts of money just before hyperi

Microsoft isn't helped by the fact that there are also FB and Google in town, and they pay at least 20% more and have better engineers to work with as well, which makes work far less aggravating. So MS gets FB/Google rejects at th

So I guess the answer is "no", then? :-)

I'm sure it will communicate with law enforcement quite a bit, yes, if Apple's recent announcements are anything to go by. Though likely not through a satellite. /s

Wars against nuclear superpowers can't be "won". China is a nuclear superpower.

It already did run it full bore for the past year and a half - US public is just not paying attention. At some point running it full bore will turn the US into Zimbabwe, currency-value wise. That will not reflect positively on the economy a

"Excess savings" are going to panic and go to "the mattress" at some point, when it becomes clear "excess savings" are invested into a de-facto Ponzi scheme which has no bearing on the real world at all. See e.

I fear it's going to be like 90's Russian hyperinflation (ending with default). Ain't gonna be pretty if that happens, for anyone in the US or abroad. There's also nothing the Fed can do about it once it starts in earnes

Nearly all valuations are difficult to grasp at this point. We're _way_ overdue for a _massive_ correction. Surprised Pikachu faces incoming.

It'd solve a lot of problems if he died of starvation though, like millions of his de-facto slaves in rural Russia. Folks should remember this when they vote for commies. It always ends up like this, no exceptions.

It probably was much larger than average Soviet house at the time, as well as far more luxurious. Stalin was into expensive cars and fine cuisine as well (even as parts of the country quite literally starved to death). Thing is, you don&#x2

Gotta give it to the Soviet party apparatchiks - they've actually flown in these, I believe several times. Or maybe underlings just didn't tell them how dangerous that was.

Don't forget "climate change", which people with "luxury beliefs" believe can just go away if we move all manufacturing to China and make it completely infeasible to do any on-shore manufacturing. Instead it gets wo

The question is, what do you do now? It's not going away. You'll all get it regardless.

Actually, no. It's the USSR that stopped the invasion of Great Britain. It would have fallen otherwise, if Germany wasn't otherwise occupied. Also, Hitler didn't have Germans on both sides of the moat, nor did he have an exte

Wait, you're seriously suggesting that _Taiwan_ (pop 23.6M) could protect itself against _China_? I don't know what to tell you.

That means nukes in NYC. Cost-prohibitive right off the bat.

Defend _how_ though? How do you defend against an adversary with ICBMs, fleet, and air force who, on top of that, can draft an army that exceeds the entire population of the US? "Nuclear conflict" only works as a deterrent when th

Half of Americans are confirmed imbeciles then, who should have their voting rights withdrawn. There's nothing whatsoever we can do if China really wants to take Taiwan other than impose self-destructive and ineffective economic sancti
