You fail to account for the rise in the (mostly) right wing grifters who make money from being contrarian.

Except, can you point me to wher they've gone further and used this leverage for other things? The No Job, No Pay is old at this point.

It won't be an issue for much longer - once support is phased out for Intel-based macs they'll be left behind.

True - but then again, writing an XML config file can be a bit of a pain as it's more verbose.

True - but, the degree and type of mark will likely be different.

That's why a proper VR headset wins over the various cheap "strap your iphone in" things. The comfort on the latest headsets (that are not cheap, granted) are orders of magnitude better.

Sounds similar to Gibraltar airport, which is both a civilian airstrip, as well as a military one (the military base is opposite the passenger terminal). If you haven't looked into Gibraltar airport before, it's a fascinating thin

Depends - if the path it takes is through your heart (or head) you're probably going to have a bad time. eg touching live with one hand and neutral with the other. I've had a few mains shocks before as well, a fair few years ago,

Honestly, I've tried a few myself, and none of them were that great. The Orbi was pretty fast, but the satellite needed rebooting every couple of weeks. I ended up going for in-ceiling AP's, having the house wired for Ethernet, an

Does the type of sugar, or type of fat not play a part here? HFCS is notorious for the bad effects on the body, versus something like honey. Same for the Intuit, simpler animal fats vs hydrogenated "trans" fats? I feel like the ke

Happily running dual stack, with a routed /48 (further subdivided between work, IoT, management and trusted VLAN's). It's crazy though that the 2nd biggest ISP in the country, Virgin (DOCSIS cable) STILL haven't rolled o

When I did Mathematics A-Level's, we had to select four modules. I chose pure 1, pure 2, stats 1 and, new that year, discrete 1. So many useful groundings in various super important comp sci concepts.

It's always interesting as well, that Mercer and Koch do all of the things certain segments accuse Soros of, but they aren't up in arms about them in the same way. The "teamification" of politics is complete.

It doesn't make sense to me at all. We have an iris, this allows us to limit the amount of light hitting our retina, or increase it when conditions are darker. Do the cameras on a Tesla have shutters that can do this? Otherwise you&#x2

As someone else - you should be doing this even if you're staying on lastpass. It's what I've spent the last few days doing (hundreds of passwords), but then again, I'm also moving to bitwarden.

Because large groups of people have shown, time and again, they don't act rationally. Look at toilet paper - one rumour that it would run out, despite shops, the government, everyone, saying there is more than enough and the rabble wen

Email has never been "private" per se, it's unencrypted as it flies across the internet. If you want privacy, you need to add a layer of encryption on top.

I saw Faithless back in '97 or '98. It was a pretty small venue, held about 800 or so, but they had the place feeling like it was many times bigger. Maxi Jazz stuck around at the end as people were leaving giving anyone who wanted

Didn't Apple start using their own GPU core, after being a PowerVR customer for some time?

Of course it is - it's how libertarian billionaires justify funnelling money into things they want to progress, rather than give back to the country that has provided them roads to ship products, the internet, an educated workforce etc

Whilst that's true, it ignores their GPU and, crucially, their fixed function blocks - TPU, ISP, hw decode/encode etc. So it's amazing to see the bread and butter catch up, what we really need are those other blocks available

As has been stated ad nauseam (and you seem to be ignoring) it's a red herring. You instead spend $200 for the VESA adapter and put it on a monitor arm. Which is reusable for your next monitor (and the monitor after that, and the monit

If they can make Qualcomm competitive with the Apple SoC's that would be great for everyone that isn't Apple, and by extension, the market as a whole. Here's hoping.

> If you want to dox prior management for good faith efforts to keep the place to a standard, then randomly ban people who are annoying you, fine. Except that has the potential to cause real world harm, so no, that's not fine.

That relies on Elon still having a lot of funds to invest, not a foregone conclusion at this rate.

Not just children - adults can be suicidal too, and in certain places that's a pretty bad crime. Radical transparency only works if you remove all externalities - but we live in the real world.
