I'm curious, with shared servers at Digital Ocean available for $5 or $10 per month, why run a home server anymore? What is the value to having it local?

Not denying this is desirable to consumers. Be aware this list of requirements would make any ads run low value to marketers. Retargeting is important to many campaigns, as are ads that grab attention.

There is a big difference between smoke alarm detection built into the wake-up-word circuitry, versus every sound sent to Google's servers for analysis. I am not bothered by the former, but would be aghast at the latter. Does anyone kn

Not trivial. You still have to break in and get /etc/passwd or the equivalent, right? And doesn't creating a unique salt for each client also help significantly?

If everything in the book was also in your blog posts, didn't that dampen sales of the book? This is my fear, if I give it away, no one will buy it.

If people purchased books with the expectation they would work on Cloud Reader, wouldn't Amazon have to provide some sort of refund? Amazon cannot suddenly force people to buy a Kindle device to access books they've already paid f

The flaw in thinking that once an app exists there is no point in recreating it, is assuming that everyone who would every use that app is already using it. Obviously that is false. Taken to the extreme, think about how many people are gett

Using the example presented, Palantir is helping stop the opiod crisis which causes over 50,000 unnecessary deaths in the US each year. Hardly Orwellian.

If the reason for the Visa in the first place is to allow students to attend classes, and there are no classes to attend, what is the problem with this? Seems if a University has no in person classes, most all students will stay home, avoid

To describe healthcare as a human right misunderstands what a right is. You don't have a right to a doctor's time. You don't have a right to a nurse's time. What you want is a free healthcare plan, calling it a right mak

With more efficient engines on smaller planes, we can now fly nonstop transatlantic between city pairs that would never have been available before. Indianapolis to Paris for example. This is a net gain in my opinion over the big hub to hub

Once engines are efficient and powerful enough to bolt two on to a double decker and fly across the Pacific, they may come back.
