One of the biggest reasons why I like Google Photos is all the processing that it does on photos, especially some of the features that you have mentioned (object and face detection, location clustering, image filters, ...). Now to process t

The reaction is completely overblown. As a software developer myself I know how important crash reports are to figure out which bugs are impacting the most number of users. If everyone moved to this version without telemetry, we would end u

I lost over 40 bitcoins in Mt. Gox. I had purchased them for a little less under 1$ though.

That's because it has no inherent value. Gold has inherent value because it's used in jewellery and as a conductor. If a new use was to be found for gold, it would go up in value. Similarly if someone discovered another metal whic

Unlike other cloud gaming services like Geforce Now and xCloud , Stadia chose to use a platform which had very few existing native games i.e Linux. So it was in effect like the launch of a new console, since developers had to port their gam

I personally use a combination of Xbox and Chromecast, which is plugged into the hdmi-in for Xbox. Almost all of the popular services like netflix, prime, hbo, Twitch, Disney etc are available on the Xbox as native apps. For the odd ones wh

You do realize that in a war of Government Vs Crypto, the government will win. Governments can ban crypto but the opposite isn't true.

The whole point of docker was to have reproducible builds. What runs on the dev machine also runs on the server. But M1 macs change that in a major way. There might be bugs or available features in ARM versions of popular software, so what

While this was certainly true for C# that was written a decade ago, that is no longer the case with frameworks like .NET Core. Hate it all you want, but no other language does async/await as well as C#. Its ubiquitous in C# unlike all

Mixer kind of tried to do the same thing and failed. Twitch is more of a community at this point and is really hard to disrupt. I follow more than a dozen streamers on twitch and one of them moving to another platform isn't much of an

I don't think governments are going to just sit and watch as they lose control of their currency. Governments need to have the ability to provide a stimulus package if necessary. If something blocks them from doing it, they will just b

I don't think they would charge the same amount from everyone. I'm sure that their bribe varies depending on their customer and how much they can pay. If they deem someone to be more valuable, it would be unlikely for them to sett

While its basic math you would be surprised at how many people have forgotten about PEMDAS. I would argue that the additive way comes more naturally to people. For people wanting to more complex equations scientific one does follow PEMDAS.

I'm right now running pacman on Arch Linux via WSL while playing 'Call of Duty' in another window. Let's see if your OS can beat that.

I wish Apple would give Docker some love like Microsoft does. Using Docker with WSL is a breeze, and it runs so much better than MacOS. And as an advantage you get access to Linux package managers which are so much better than brew. Brew is

For comparison, in India I pay 54$ a month for 1Gbps symmetric broadband. On speedtest, I get about ~700mbps download and ~800mbps upload.

Unless the M2 is a higher core version with 16-32 cores? M1 is already built on a 5nm process and you're right about the upgrades being incremental and small. But apple can bump up the core count significantly to make the m1x/m2 a

Sorry but I disagree about your analogy with an art piece. An art piece is unique, especially the antique ones made by an artist who is no longer alive. And that artpiece will always be the only one to ever exist. There are many other crypt

Gold is unique, few metals can match it's shine and electrical conductivity. But there exist many cryptocurrencies which can act as "a system for transferring bits in a decentralized fashion over the internet". Many also do a

True, but they would need a much lesser number of licenses compared to the number of users since they only need to make sure they have enough instances for concurrent usage.

Bitcoin mixers do a pretty good job of obsfucating transaction history and maintaining anonymity.

If you use a bitcoin mixer then it cannot be traced. That's the whole point of mixers.

I think this is only the beginning, as bitcoin becomes more and more popular, countries are going to start becoming scared of it. Bitcoin cannot be controlled by the government and it is almost impossible to trace. There are bitcoin mixers
