Like most articles on the subject, there's hardly any mention of whether the problem is inevitable when we try to force honeybees into the industrial monoculture model and transport them around. I live in a mild climate (SF bay area) a

The other issue I have with web page bloat: memory-constrained mobile devices are able to cache far fewer pages than a desktop computer, and navigating among multiple tabs, etc. gets slowed down to internet connection speed.

It's a reality of the accounting, financial reporting, and executive incentives that in any large publicly-traded company today, product lines that bring in a small percentage of revenue are going to not get the chance they deserve.

With Tree Style Tabs I just got to the same level of disorder with even more tabs open. It didn't actually help my behavior :)

As far as I can tell from how frequently Uber and Lyft give me discounts whenever I don't use them for a few days, they're burning crazy amounts of VC money just to grow. If investment dries up before they get profitable, I think

Ethernet is not as cheap as USB 2 for low-cost/low-performance devices. And it's not as fast (plus higher overhead) than Thunderbolt for high perfomance applications. Thunderbolt is (very loosely speaking) PCIe extended outside

Article doesn't bother to mention that there are completely different projects which implement NTP servers with varying levels of functionality (openntpd, chrony, ntpsec, ntimed). And while the pool.ntp.org system is a nice scheme, it

Last I checked, the google router thing didn't support IPv6. Has that changed? I've been using IPv6 at home with a previous-generation Airport Extreme for over four years.

Are most of these things spread via random IPv4 address probes? Are we going to be a somewhat safer when networks are IPv6-only due to the size of the address space vs the used addresses?

I suspect they just put a sensor there and inject fuel if it cools too much. For short coasting it's probably not a problem.

Yep. Where modern in some cases includes cars from 26 years ago. (My 1990 Chevy Corsica - inline 4, with a single throttle-body injector did this.)

I'm kind of disappointed that it relies on an external power brick. If I'm spending a premium on a desktop, I don't want another bit of crap cluttering up the desk or floor.

The never-to-be-released ones can be the nastist hellholes (if the aim is punishment) I object. They're still human, and as they have been deprived of their freedom, we (society) have been entrusted with caring for them. Even the d

Oversimplifying things like this bugs me too. There are some non-easy choices to make. e.g. do you encrypt your backups? if you encrypt every copy of everything you have and you lose your passphrases, it's gone. This may be obvious
