All of these technologies would be very useful to a government, especially an authoritarian government. Who do you imagine wielding this technology, exactly? Agents of a foreign power? Internal dissidents? In either case it is difficult to

Hey son, you and your fellows are looking full drip, no cap. Remember to be back in time for dinner, your mom is making pork chops, and it is going to be bussing bussing af.

As someone over 40, I probably enjoy too much the ability to destroy any exclusivity or sense of cool these words may have previously held to the younger generation by using them excessively in their presence.

This is like hearing about life on an alien planet for me.

Once content generation has been completely commoditized the platforms relying on user submitted content will collapse under the sheer weight of AI generate trash. Part spam, part DDoS, the bad will drive out the good until we settle at som

The idea of a washing machine, coffee maker, refrigerator, etc. including a network card strikes me as a solution in search of a problem. Unless you are the company marketing these devices and the problem is "how can start getting in o

It seems you have simply redefined it within a different framework of understanding you are more agreeable to, but I do not see how it is useful. This is in fact one of the rare diagnoses which respond unreasonably well to medication alone,

Ahh yes, the guy who blames NATO for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As I'm sure everyone here is aware, NATO is a defensive alliance, so the only threat it poses is in reaction to an expansionist Russia which threatens the sovereignt

I have two brothers, one of which around 2019 fell down a couple YouTube rabbit holes and came out repeating things about flat earth, QAnon, and just about every other comorbid conspiracy theory circulating at that time. He honestly believe

I was this person most of my life until medication in my late 30s. For some reason (probably the ADHD) I never really payed attention to it but was always kind of vaguely aware that doing simple things like getting ready for the day, or any

The social dynamics you are describing at first come across as absurd. It is so divorced from any lived experience, instead resembling something out of satire or a sitcom. Then of course I remember some people earnestly live like this, and

I don't even have to click this link to know it's going to be the Internet Historian video.

It is as if someone has taken the time to describe my typical day. I'm not a package maintainer or anything, just a guy trying to keep multiple CI/CD systems working. I did not get halfway through this before I could start to feel

Never let a crisis go to waste. An increasing number of console players are complaining about devices like the XIM4 being used to cheat or otherwise provide an unfair advantage. So now Microsoft can claim credit for fighting that while also

After the SVB thing earlier this year I decided to get out of the startup game. Got a great new job though a recruiter on LinkedIn. It went so easy and so quickly I had to double and triple check everyone I was dealing with to make sure I w

I have heard anecdotally from streamers that YouTube still pays better than any other platform all other things being equal (so long as you don't touch any topics that YouTube likes to regularly demonetize).

This is another skill that like knowing when to say no, seems counterintuitive when first entering the working world. Sometimes the correct answer is not to drop everything and slowly explain something for the third time that would have bee

I'll definitely be monitoring my son's use of electronic devices when he's a child, but a 19 year old is not a child...

This is the first thing I thought of because otherwise this story doesn't make a lot of sense.

My read is more that they do not want to build outside of Taiwan as the TSMC fabs on the island have become of enormous strategic interest to the United States (as well as China). Building fabs in the US is directly counter to this, and I w

Glad to see the problem of Theodicy mentioned in this work. All by itself it illustrates the logical inconsistency of at least the monotheistic religions which claim for their diety benevolence, omnipotence and omniscience. When trying to r

I love how the TSMC staff try to frame this as American's not having a work ethic, when the reality is that they are terrible at managing people who do not respond as emotionless automatons. No one is going to put up with your shit esp

Oh boy, a good old fashioned science versus religion brawl is about to go down. I haven't had a good one of these since the Atheist Crusade of the early 2000s.

Spotify has had a terrible product from the very beginning, I couldn't be bothered to use even when it was free. I could not find half of the artists I was interested in, and of the other half they would only have one or two albums, us
