To be honest, this is just part of a larger problem. Even if we have "trusted" media companies, that will just increase centralization in the space by making it harder for indie outlets (who, in the age of the internet, can break

Not exactly. Microsoft is trying to expand functionality in certain places to allow things like CUDA acceleration, AF_PACKET support, and other important hardware-y things that WSL can't handle. You're right that you can run a d

Having set up a PBX before, what does it give you that allows you to "take control"? You've still got to connect to some phone provider. It's basically just a highly-configurable alternative.

You can thank inflation, the government's biggest hidden tax. And of course, it hurts the poor the most, those without the financial know-how to invest, buy CDs, T-Bills, etc. Yet there are still no moves to stop inflation. Why? Be

This is a bit of a controversial comment, but I'll try to keep it objective. I think part of this might be cultural? Maybe there's something about the "gay subculture" that encourages this? I'm no expert; some one

Regardless of what you think of the bill, that's a bogus test. I may want a guy to come do a contract job for me on certain hours according to a certain spec and meeting certain compliance standards. Maybe these aren't even my r

The implication here is that it does better because it's written in rust. I doubt that's the case. I think it's faster because it's new, smaller (i.e. doesn't have to deal w/backwards-compatibility with pre

I take your point in principle (founders ought to be committed to their company), but I also see the other argument not to put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. Of course, I certainly wouldn't put money into a company the foun
