China is the biggest creditor to the US national debt Uh, no it ain't. Not even close. Domestic funds are the lions share, with Social Security Trust holding 2.5x what China does (2.8t vs 1.1t).

I don't see how a company whose existence works to normalize the use of marijuana is a priority unaligned with that of decriminalizing and clemency for those incarcerated for posession.

I'm going to quibble about your word choice. There is something disturbing about the fact that people are still rotting in jail , not that Ease raised money. Those people should not be in jail, and eaze is doing well to raise money. T

I'm not sure what your point is. BT.2020 is 10- or 12- bit, so an tv that can take advantage of HDR (i.e. 10 bit) will most accurately match what was filmed. e: I feel like you might be confusing 'HDR' with 'HDR upsampli

I know Amazon's intentions and their profit motive: to get me to buy things. This makes me okay with an Alexa in my home. Google is murkier, but I feel assuaged a bit because they have -- hands down -- the best 'knowledge engine&#

Hi, as an owner of an OLED HDR tv, I heartily disagree. Have you seen Planet Earth 2? 3D was a gimmick. HDR is here to stay.

No, eyes need to be open, the user has to be "paying attention".

R-M405? Me too; but my paternal line hails from Venice. Seems our forebears scattered around.

Sure, Brett Ratner, your movies are flopping because of the review aggregator, not because of anything that those reviews might indicate...

That "Uber effect" is a circular citation. SFGate is reporting that SFMTA says Uber/Lyft are causing traffic (SFMTA has an agenda), and in their 'report' they cite SF Chronicle (the 'newsier' site of SFGat

But those cars can drive in tandem. When humans drive, every start and stop has a delay between each driver, and inattentions compound those little delays. Additionally, traffic caused by rubbernecking, by trying to cheat lanes, by not zipp

I'm still sore about Google Reader. I haven't found another reader that has quite found the right UX to replace it.

Youtube does not yet make money. This is such a windmillfight, I just don't understand why Reddit thinks adding a cost-sink will help. With images, it made sense -- Imgur was trying to become Reddit and hosting was a means of shoring u

San Francisco is surrounded by cities which are not San Francisco. Manhattan is part of New York City, and is surrounded by more of New York City. If someone lived 80 miles away from Zurich, in a German town such as Sankt Märgen, Google is

Wow, medium is now modal-overlaying a sign-in/up screen on load; they are really doubling down on those A/B tests.

I totally agree. Every argument I've heard against cubicles were actually arguments against poor lighting and lack of windows -- a well lit, green, many-windowed office that had cubicles would be much more preferable to open office pla

I hope they win, open offices are the stupidest thing since cubicles.

Didn't they just recently (past year) sign this deal? I imagine Disney has to pay a fair amount back to end the distribution deal.

I think recursion as an implementation is easy; recursion as a concept is hard to understand if you are just starting to learn. I think part of it is getting your mind to accept the notion that a thing can know of itself before itself has b

Irony is that while Fi is the only plan where this makes sense, it's also the only plan you can't use with an iPhone.

I've given up any hope. GRRM will never finish the series. It's made him too much money, and he doesn't have the drive to tie things back together. We're gonna get like 3 more in-the-universe stories, and maybe 3 years o

No, and it's really obnoxious, because there are thresholds where content doesn't have to be listed. For example, a package of tic-tacs will say that it has 0g sugar per serving (a 'serving' being one tic-tac), but the w
