Wow, on par with Cormac McCarthy for sadness, ouch! I don't really see it as tragic or sad, more like ... liberating. Those sorts of thoughts remind me to not waste this precious time that we are lucky enough to have at all.

And a non trivial chance that they will outlive everything else with any association to humans and Earth.

Excellent! So hopefully this means that it's not desensitizing kids to surveillance, just teaching them how to avoid it since they know it's there. Good times.

Could this be an potential avenue for some sort of exploit? I had no idea that you could "execute" logic via fonts.

Now here's a thought ... could video games and entertainment be tools for generating change in countries? Could every game developer and internet service pulling their services from China completely compel the population to try to chan

I think I'm in the same boat as you. I've discussed this with my spouse and we've determined that my mind's eye is pretty impaired. It's there, but just barely. I totally agree with the "spatial arrangement&quo

Or maybe the current message is - bring food, water, and fuel?

Another interesting angle - is it possible that there is a continuous void between the earth and moon that never intersects any space debris already in orbit?

I guess they decided to follow their datasets and offer exponential pricing as well!

Yeah, I've been searching for a specific genre (what to even call it) for a long time and I feel like this site just gave me a treasure trove of artists I didn't know about. +1 from me

How do you know that they didn't look at it?

I'm sure it didn't hurt to have the in-depth knowledge of AWS from working on their team.

True, but not blameless - he was the one to attempt to execute the plan that way.

Looks like if you go back a few years you can see a bump.

Something interesting about those numbers - the average sale price of the real estate is 425k to 450k. Also interesting is the average price for each property dropped from last year to this year (from 450 to 425). Dunno what any of that r

Should be a fun day when people realize they can pretty easily hijack automated trucks. I assume you could either get in the back of the thing while it's moving, or simply slow down in front of it and cause it to stop. Unload your newl

I tend to operate under the assumption that everything will need to change, so I need to make it easy to change.

I'm probably in the backfire mode, as I've proven I can get things done in a good way, quickly, so I was promoted and someone else demoted (so we've effectively switched positions). 3/4 of the team is on-board with the g

I had no idea that I would see this parallel as well when I started reading this article. I'm in a similar situation at my current job, we've got a few guys that want to go really crazy with OOP concepts (design patterns, going ov

So it turns out that home oven manufacturers don't care too much about precision when it comes to oven temperature (and it doesn't matter usually). A high end home oven will easily swing between +- 25 degrees of the temperature th

The point is that Microsoft has been terrible at this since 1999. They consistently do their own thing instead of going with standards, and they are always behind the curve. They seem to be trying to catch up with standards but have been un
