   I've read the whole thing twice, and I still don't see any reason why a "blockchain" is an improvement over a centralized system run by an auditor.

   Eh. Kubernetes is complex, but I think a lot of that is that computing is complex, and Kubernetes doesn't hide it. Your UNIX system runs many daemons you don't have to care about. Whereas something like lockserver configuration

   I would be more convinced by this if BPOM hadn't approved azithromycin as well; there are far more severe risks in over-using antibiotics, and the available evidence suggests that azithromycin doesn't actually work to treat Covid.

   Lots of good comics in there. A few I haven't seen highlighted yet: https://goomics.net/127/ - poor, poor Google Plus. Somehow it wasn't a warning sign that the big executive-supported project to Win Social

   Neither this article nor the article it is paraphrasing ( https://www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/business/world-first-... ) appear to say anything about what "quantum computing" their system is doing, or why

   This whole thing is a load of spin. If they could have gotten a higher price, they would. Uber stock is going to be lower than this valuation in a month's time, mark my words.

   Google's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance should verify that this works exactly as described. I don't expect those to be public.

    I think that the new User Interface that Facebook is rolling out will show whether or not Facebook has a real commitment to privacy.

    There's a key difference being over-looked here. Rank-and-file employees have strong legal protections against retaliation for unionization efforts. Employees in management roles do not. I think it's perfectly reasonable for Goog

    I am going to wait for CERN's research on measuring the gravitational interaction coefficient of antimatter to be published before I even try to understand this.

    There is one point in the article - that "teenage boys are bigger bullshitters than teenage girls" - which I have independently verified. When conducting surveys using Google Surveys (surveys.google.com) on fact-based questions (

    First, 80% of the cost of housing in the Bay Area is location. Second, many houses from 100 years ago didn't have features like electricity and indoor plumbing. Third, we're not going to invent magical 3D printers that make hous

    What I want are separate feeds for "firehose" and "friends". My friends have better things to do than to post to Twitter 20 times per day. A bunch of firehose feeds (NYTimes news updates, for example) or Twitter celebri

    There is only one solution to this problem. MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. These houses would cost less than half this amount in 99% of the country. So long as too many people insist on living in the same zip code, the problem is not solvable.

    I agree. This is a great idea for a browser feature, but for me personally, I would rather do a manual blacklist through /etc/hosts.

    Is this auto-correlation? If the time windows are set up wrong (due to time zones) this could be mistaking before and after.

    I'm disappointed this article talks so much about brine, and so little about the even-more-dangerous Dihydrogen Monoxide that is a result of the process. This is a very bad article - pure FUD.

    Reading through the prologue to the whole book, I get: Civilization is a sin; knowledge is a fraud; religion is evil, money is evil, etc., etc. Hard pass. I doubt the author even believes this tripe; he's more likely to live in an &qu
