That said, it's pretty amazing that UBI has become such a big talking point. I remember about ten years ago I brought up the possibility of UBI in a college course where the instructor literally laughed at the idea. It's nice to s

I'm not entirely sure that'd work very well, since the Chromecast mirroring function has some pretty high latency. If you want to stream Dolphin to your TV, a cheap option is to use Steam's in-home streaming feature. The Stea

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he's calling for a specific organ of government to take on regulation of the internet and connected devices in a general sense, not calling for some specific regulation or law. I suspect what

I'm sure he speaks exactly like he did in this press conference when he's at home with his family! Acting != make believe. The dude was hamming it up to the point that he seemed like a caricature of a product announcement.

I work in an office of graphic designers, and they all have overpowered hardware that they bought thinking they needed the latest and greatest to run Photoshop and Illustrator. They don't need a breakneck GPU - they need a device like

Just an FYI, the scroll-hacking on the home page doesn't work with arrow key or hotkey based scrolling (for example, vimium or vimperator extensions for j/k key scrolling) - obviously a small subset of users, but I know a lot of n

What an incredibly rude comment.

Exactly. And to piggyback on your comment, modern academic science is the way it is because their "investors" (i.e. granting institutions like NSF) have certain stipulations for grant funds or at the very least prefer certain appl

It's called an opinion, and yes, even billionaires-turned-philanthrophists are entitled to them. :) Don't worry, though - it'll be at least another 10 years or so until Gates starts sending his cronies out at night to black-b

It doesn't matter whether or not you buy or use locks. You passively pay for security at a bar when you buy a drink - the price of the bouncer is part of how they derive the cost of your beer. Similarly you pay taxes (local, state, fed

It doesn't work on mobile though, which kinda sucks. But it does work cross-browser on desktop.

Just curious - why am I suddenly seeing so many people referencing occam's razor? It is happening way too frequently to be a coincidence. Was the idea featured someplace recently? It seems like just about every tech-ish thread on reddi

A lot of people are guilty of a lot of things and don't ever get investigated or prosecuted. I agree with you that people take things a little far, but I think it's hardly conspiratorial thinking to acknowledge that the DOJ select
