Pretty sure what's going to happen is we're going to pay for news, at $100/year or so, like we pay for Netflix. You can probably get 100,000 people in a small city to buy that (given proper branding/marketing), and that&

Speaking as a hardware guy, I think that's the ultimate goal as well :) Been planning a NIC card that directly serves web apps via HDL for a while now...

The problem is the latency associated with software Zlib, on the order of several milliseconds for a typical web response, and the CPU usage the entails, thereby limiting web request-response throughput.

Anyone have a hardware ZLIB implementation that I can drop into my Python toolchains as a direct replacement for ZLIB to compress web-server responses with no latency? Could also use a fast JPG encoder/decoder as well.

Twitter's become absolutely toxic as well. It's gone insane. They really need to get rid of the Trumpian right-wingers from that platform or it'll end up being harmful to their business. No advertiser is interested in putti

JSON in Postgres is so fast... it's definitely not used widely enough. I'm not even sure why people would use something like Django Rest Framework, when Postgres outputs JSON directly from a query.

That's not because of college. That's because of debt. Learn to separate debt from college.

> University is not for everybody (as the massive debt crisis shows) University is for everybody. Massive debt is for nobody. Notice how I can separate those two.

I'm surprised Apple could never figure out a way to make a profitable wi-fi router. Every household needs one, so what prevented them from differentiating their products from generic routers? It really could have been a hugely profitab

The answers are basically party platform. Party activists would temper dishonesty, because they want their party to achieve their publicly stated goals. Why would you join an anti-abortion party if you believe in abortion? People think po

In this situation, you're voting for party based on platform policy for each position, not people. The actual officeholders are decided later by the party. It's hard for a committee to be dishonest.

If I were to change the system, I would have ballots ask 10 or 20 or so questions based on issues, and each party gives their own response to each question. The voters then choose their answers they favor for each question, and they can cho

Correct. I don't know why editorial bias was a problem in the first place. Right now they have false-equivalency bias that drives fake stories.

New media seems to be garbage, since it's all fake/made-up stories. How do we get people to see the truth from traditional media, instead of the made-up garbage they see in new media? We really need to work together to solve the p

I don't get the appeal of term limits on Congress. Why would you vote for an amateur politician instead of a professional career politician? Aren't career politicians better than amateur politicians? If a politician is doing a go

Definitely encrypt all your communications. The Republicans are hardcore about violating any privacy rights (or any Bill of Rights) that they can, and will make sure to expand the NSA to spy on the US citizens communications. (it's c

The lower-case probably works better for IDEs that have SQL syntax-coloring. If your IDE doesn't have that (looking at you XCode..), then upper-case keywords are better.

Why would 10 people cause the server any problems? We used to run corporate email server in the 90s with thousands of users, and they had 8GB memory and 2 processors - same as a Mac Mini. And their processors were slower than today's
