Industry behemoths do need near-death experiences from time to time. Intel is not yet near-death. They still have overwhelming market share and it still seems to them that they are "succeeding". Their future will depend on whether

Thanks for the correction, I didn't know that in the UK kettles commonly have a power rating of up to 3KW. Looks like the EU tried to ban such high power appliances in 2014, but I don't think they did. MediaMarkt in Germany has ma

I'm a little wary of OwnCloud, and generally of any software written in PHP. PHP invites problems. That said, I find this page reassuring: https://owncloud.com/security/ . It does seem like they took security prett

I'm a big fan of the idea, especially in the light of Google Photos announcement. I'd ideally want my phone to back up my pictures, location, health data, documents, and other data to something self-hosted, with at least decent mi

I'd like to see them "pay bills", or even just function, if the rest of the country stops working for a few months. I'm pretty sure that groceries and durable goods do not materialize out of thin air.

Nancy Pelosi in 2017: "Our election was hijacked". What has changed since then, and why is it not a possibility that it was hijacked this time? https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/864522009048494080

Re-read what I said. Dude bought half the Duma by the time Putin went after him and was writing his own laws. And you're right about taxes, but do observe that taxes are only optional in Russia as long as you are an oligarch who doesn&

That's what Google is organizationally unable to understand. They consider you giving them all your data to be a perfectly private thing to do. In fact, in a way, they consider themselves to be sort of guardians of your privacy, since

Bannon isn't calling for their literal decapitation either. "Head on a pike" is an euphemism for getting fired. Another way to say this is "heads should roll" which also does not mean decapitation. Also, when someon

This is a strawman and you know it. There's plenty of such rhetoric on Twitter and Facebook. What's different is the group of people against which it is targeted.

So what do we do about folks who chanted "fry 'em like bacon", and "death to America" in the streets just a few weeks ago? Any punitive measures there, or nah?

As a high BMI individual, I'm fully in support of instituting minimal hiring and promotion quotas for fat people. Given that there's "obesity epidemic" going on, I propose we set it at 50% to ensure that there's no

Sources familiar with their thinking say Torvalds and Stallman will join Microsoft early next year. On a more serious note, I hope Van Rossum and Hejlsberg spend lots of quality time together and thoroughly pick each other's brains. Th

Not even a millenial, and I still subscribe to Apple Music, even though I have an extensive ripped FLAC collection and there are maybe 2-3 CDs a year that come out that I will listen to more than once (which I buy anyway).

Search in the roadmap is exciting. It'd often be great to constrain search to just the pages I already visited, and there's never an option to do so. And because it's not a full index of the web with billions of pages, this s

Accelerate is also available (and highly performant) on ARM as well. I was not able to beat it with anything on ARM, including hand-coded assembly, at least for sgemm and simple dot products, which are bread and butter of deep learning. It

Wonderful. So now they also want people to pay for getting their life data-mined. It's like cable TV - started without ads, now has more ads than content, and nobody seems to mind enough to cancel.

It did not occur to me until now that instead of timing their sales to announcements, senior execs could time announcements to their scheduled stock sales. Brilliant, in a way - a legal form of insider trading. In the meantime the lowly peo

Did this only happen in swing states and VA though? And why does drift happen _well after_ in-person vote is already counted? And do you have data to support your point #1? Because people claim that, but I don't really see any evidence
