Says REMOTE, but you have to be in commuting range of a handful of cities, so maybe not actually remote?

This order was toothless, and the administration has already flouted it. All John Roberts is doing is asking Trump to go further next time. Whether it's intentional or just cowardice on his part doesn't really matter to the rest o

"Kiplimo ran at an average speed of 22.3 kilometers-per-hour" I'm not sure I could sustain this pace for 1 minute, let alone 57. Incredible.

My wife is an event planner, and events as a technology space has never been great. At this point there's basically Facebook and Eventbrite, both of which are very established in their lanes and face very little competitive pressure. I

A lot of people here are questioning the data of the study, but don't actually seem to be looking at that data? Yes, the control group, who received less money, also did well in some metrics, but in most metrics they also started off b

An initial cost of 16 million, and yearly maintenance of 600,000, for a city of 2.5 million? Per person, $5 initially and $0.25 per year. That seems incredibly cheap for the benefits. Colombia looks to have a GDP per capita about 1/10t

The lack of a battery kills this for me. Minimal power usage is one of the benefits of these kinds of displays, so it seems a very strange omission. We have too many cords running along walls as it is, and it makes the placement a lot harde

This tracks. 15 years ago, I bought the cheapest laser I could find, which was a Brother. Put two cartridges in it over the years, and last year it died. Some devices couldn't print to it due to driver issues, but it was easy enough to

It was a frustrating thing to witness, because it was clear there was still so much potential in the situation. I've spent a long time since studying what makes companies successful at scale, and culture seems to be the key piece. Not

I think we're describing aspects of the same problem. The Waterloo core of the company was generally very successful with what it was focused on, so if you never got your head out of that bubble, you might assume things were going just

Dang, I hope these make it to Canada. I had been considering picking up an older Leaf to supplement our SUV for short trips, but having something that would charge itself via solar would be nice step up from that.

This is some disgusting, fearmongering, copaganda. The only actual trend of significance that has meaningful data behind it is an increase in police killings, which is still presented in a mostly useless way (8 over the last 6 months vs 133

I think a key thing here is that they are only doing releases every other week. So when changes skip a code review, they are still subjected to a good amount of peer testing before they ever reach a customer. I think that's a reasonabl

If this were to take off, I would expect to see some governments offering it to all citizens, both to support whatever digital services they provide, and as a tool for helping users manage their privacy.

Postman is the real player in this space. They did a great job collecting the low hanging fruit in terms of engaging all types of users in working with APIs. They've been a bit slow since then to build out their full API design and ver

It was really about them being an underdog, more than anything. Challenging the big dog and occasionally forcing them into more consumer-friendly behaviors. That said, I still ended up owning mostly Intel CPUs (a lapped Celeron 300a running

The Pentium 4 to Core 2 Duo leap was based on architecture, not fab tech. It was a very significant shift in chip design philosophy. Intel being ahead in fab tech didn't hurt, but it's far from their only strength. There's no

Yeah, exactly this. Intel has really stumbled on fabrication the last 2-3 years, but the idea that they won't correct that ignores decades of precedent. I'm an AMD fanboy from the K6 days, and I love what Lisa Su has been able to

Key bit seems to be: "..batteries are exhibiting high levels of sustained health. If the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle."
