As someone who's fairly reclusive outside of work I'm frightened by this prospect. I'd rather be anxious and have to deal with people from time to time than be so utterly alone that I'm forced to treat my cereal box as a

I'd move if I knew that the locals wouldn't make my life hard for being transgender and not the typical Christian (I'm a Christian Gnostic, so I'm way out there in terms of my faith). But if anything living in my home st

Just what I need, Russian hackers installing malware into my mind, threatening to delete my childhood. I might actually let them do it.

I hate to be mean but the reason argumentation isn't always about facts is because there's the written (most formal) and the spoken (most informal). Along that spectrum you can be as rigorous as a mathematical proof to being fast

Oh no doubt there's better languages in terms of general purpose programming. I'm biased towards OCaml myself since it has nice syntax but there's plenty of options to choose from. I'm just pointing to C/C++ languag

Hah, I'm in a similar situation. When the business side of the firm isn't giving us new feature requests or there's no new bugs found I'm basically twiddling my fingers reading over the code base (at least parts I'm

Because there's existing libraries which solve many of the same problems which they inevitably run into and then re-implement them in JS. The "not invented here" mentality has to stop. Unless there's a significant reason

I'm just gonna say I oppose this proposal because I'm really tired of seeing developers shy away from utilizing or learning C/C++ only to admit much later in a project's life cycle that those languages and their associat

It's all about YouTube becoming profitable. It's not about the algorithms or any specific political ideology or any other silly idea. It's cold hard cash that Alphabet wants from YouTube and it's not delivering. So how d

The obsession Apple and other companies have with the post-PC concept reminds me of Thomas Edison's own obsession with the Nickelodeon. Edison thought no one would ever sit down to watch any length of film beyond five minutes. The idea

It's easy to say wealth redistribution is a solution in search of a problem if you never lived in a city or town that's been slowly rotting away due to the negligence of the economic elites. I come from Wichita, Kansas and I can t

I have to wonder if in some part what happened during the Bronze Age is destined to happen again? I can see the US here going belly up if someone was inclined to test the US resolve to defend the likes of Saudi Arabia (considering its contr

In a way, I think social networks as currently designed as a mistake since it requires a centralized authority to share the content and verify our identities. Compare that to hosting your own content on a VPS where you're in charge of

I barely use Facebook and honestly I can't imagine how anyone uses it. At this point, I think the only social network I use is Twitter and mostly because I follow quite a few synthwave artists and just content creators in general. The

I don't get why so many folks thought Google was going to give them a free pass forever when it comes to various touchy subjects. Google depends on advertisers to pay its bills and make profit for its shareholders. If that means Youtub

Same. It's rare to find a site that I can use when I read my data limit on T-Mobile that doesn't turn into a mess. If only I could just tell Safari to turn off all JS and image loading at will.

It's probably why Tesla wants to sell people the power wall despite its own shortcomings. Why give that power back to the grid operators who are going to screw you over? Just get a battery storage solution that also charges your car an

Yeah so you know that I like telescopes, talking smack on Twitter, and watching Let's Plays of Dwarf Fortress. Now, how do you monetize that? What meaningful marketing information does that give you? You see where I'm going with m

In regards to the question of ISPs selling browsing history, how much of that data outside of law enforcement has ever led to profitable sales from consumers? Like honestly, I've never ever been swayed by a web advert. If anything, the
