Yes, the thumb buttons seem much better. USB-C is an upgrade. Only thing that is missing is a wireless charging. Some competitors use Qi charging or a special mousepad, so there's never a need to plug it in. In 2010, Logitech released

Surprisingly sensible. I wonder if compiler magic could, in theory, reduce enums that have only two options down to a single bit, but still provide all the type safety guarantees. Or maybe provide another primitive just for that purpose. Pa

It isn't fear-mongering to wonder about it. Although, new reserves were found in Africa so it probably isn't going to be a problem. But the history of helium production is fascinating. The US government seems to have severely mism

The frustration over unaffordable housing is completely understandable, although making it about the landlords as people, rather than the system, is unhelpful and likely to backfire. If you don't understand why things are unaffordable,

If it is so easy, as you say, then if you can release examples where you do that using their training data, then you would probably get some acclaim, and I personally would applaud your effort.

Probably the majority of any hate has little to do with any specific software and more to do with the general concept of trying to have business people assert any kind of authority or set any kind of goals at all, and hatred of such attempt

On the other hand, in the US freedom of speech would likely protect this person. And there are strong arguments in favor of absolutist versions of freedom of speech.

Maybe there should be government cameras in all the vehicles, and other sensors that can detect what is going on and provide it all directly to the NSA.

You make some good points, but there are areas where costs are outrageous... namely healthcare, education, pensions, and the military. Our pension system in the US is not funded in a way that is sustainable for the long term. Obviously, it

25 billion on a 1.7 trillion dollar company is very little by percentage, and in turn the company is implicitly backed by a state that has unlimited funds. This makes me question the point of all this.

Failure to distinguish land from capital is an enormous possible pitfall for those trying to fight poverty. Land titles, and all other types of access rights to natural opportunities, are means by which "rent-seeking" occurs. Rent

The idea is to unify the development process and tooling on the front-end and the back-end, without suffering from poor performance and constant unnecessary roundtrips over the network. Not to mention, a significant number of people strongl

Collison strikes me as genuine and focused on actually solving problems. We are in desperately short supply of such people.

AI and blockchains are a fad, and nanotech is, at the moment, a marketing fad as stated. Although, the frustration with blockchain technology is more along the lines of "this probably is wrong in principle" rather than "this

Monopolists generally become lazy over time, which is why the discipline of competition is crucial. I've been solidly pro-AMD for this reason for years, and Intel's incompetence and desperation has exceeded even my biased expectat

Think about the basis of clutter. If you are working class you might have a decent size toolshed or a garage full of tools. When something breaks, you fix it. If you are rich, you may decide to rely on auto mechanics, carpenters, gardeners,

I agree that it is not always an economic class thing. Of course, the stereotype is that college dorm rooms are notoriously messy. So it is sometimes just an extension of one's personality, habits, and aesthetics. Other caveats include

"Asset prices" is kind of a codeword for land titles and artificial scarcities. Inflation in general doesn't occur as a result of tax cuts, but rising prices are confined to those particular areas... which is a clue on where

Minimalism sometimes is an economic class identifier. Maintaining a tidy and minimal living environment is much easier if you can outsource all housework, and upgrade to the absolute latest technology, and if you don't feel much need t
