Until it's more expensive than premium satellite was, or $200/mo all-in. (Or $300/mo in today's USD.)

Yep. And most US-based actors are still on strike. There's no new content except what's already in the can. Paying more for less.. hell no. Cancel button.

Yes, some residential ones are absurd. This one would've been better as a 4-way stop because there's no way to see traffic from all other sides due to the angles and obstructions. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GWoqaxNfVa

Roundabouts for high traffic areas are good. The problem is when they are overused in low traffic areas where they create obstacles to efficient continuous motion, increase pollution, and waste time. PS: One place that doesn't do prope

Must be a different fiefdom. There are pockets that are still techbro. (I wished I hadn't picked said fiefdom.)

I don't understand your question. Co-ops led by other values other than treating customers as the product to exploit. Do you not understand democratic socialism?

You're providing a synthetic filesystem to every process? If so, that sounds absurd and over-engineered.

No sale. Too much complexity and too many side-effects.

Baloney. chroot and execvpe work with mere temporary directories. This is roughly how homebrew does "isolated" builds. You don't need virtualization, but you may want it.

Not always. IC7-9 can make ~$800k-$1.2m TC solving tough, uninteresting problems with massive impact. Most ~IC8's come across as total assholes, which might be a requirement in some tech cultures.

Technically-adept people are a tiny minority of society, and also a tiny fraction of UHNWIs.

They're spending $10B/yr on servers alone without any product or plan for their use. It's a waste of money if there isn't a roadmap, which there still isn't. EDIT: I work for Meta as an IC6.

Homebrew is deceptively simplistic in a "worse is better" way, but their management is arrogant, make poor engineering decisions, and causes headaches at scale beyond individual web developers who don't notice the subtleties

I'd switch to nix package management on macOS if it were completely isolated to a single user, didn't demand use of sudo, creating /nix or other global changes, or running anything as root. Unfortunately, like Homebrew (excep

Although the Unabomber also correctly identified systemic problems anti-efficiency, anti-technology, and/or terrorism are absurd, immoral, and untenable reactions to antitrust, profiteering, automation, and/or worker exploitation.

Many "journalists" (talking head reporters) are business, communications, poli-sci, or equally fluffy majors rather than English and/or journalism majors. And there is no qualification to be a blogger, other than often taking

Fox claims it's a better henhouse guard than humans. But of course. Their insurance company isn't an unbiased source. I'll believe this when there's independent evidence. Also, I want to see evidence to see data for al

2018 Camp Fire survivor enters the chat. Let me tell you about PSPSes and living on generator for weeks at a time for 4-5x per summer. Home insurance tripled. Bounced to SW TX after 45 years.

Exactly. Reaching net positive attrition and preventing resupply will make it possible to bring the conflict to an eventual conclusion.

I'm okay with risks created by UXO from cluster submunitions in the precision targeting of Russian bases. Such high-risk systems can be used responsibility which is why for calls for outright bans are myopic.

Symbol barcode scanner PDAs used to run Windows CE also. IIRC, there was a cheaper PDA-like version with a laser scanner usable instead of the bulky industrial pistol-grip ones. I'm sure UPS or FedEx still use WinCE-based devices to do
