I used to think tablets were a "done" technology and would have no takers in a world of 6" smartphones. But I used the iPad Pro recently with the magic keyboard. While it would never replace my primary machine, I can see it e

Just because there was no outrage for X doesn't meant here shouldn't be outrage for Y. You can say that the crime has now been politicized, but in a democracy, crimes are always a political matter. I hope that, if nothing else, it

Ditto. I do wonder what 100x developers get them. I don't know if Amazon Prime or Disney+ have 100x developers, but their streaming experience is similar to Netflix. Maybe Netflix is 5-10% faster. I can't say. The point is, with a

While I don't doubt that a lot of these people might just have underlying unhealthiness, many viral diseases can absolutely knock the wind out of you. A few years ago, we had a massive chikungunya outbreak in my country. Nearly a dozen

To take your point further, I wonder as we move closer and closer to artificial general intelligence, would deleting software or even a piece of code be truly 'ethical'? You are destroying intelligence, after all. I have zero doub

We keep discovering that more and more animals are far more intelligent than we thought. It makes me question the very idea of eating meat.

You can blame so much of it on the broken GDPR law. If you run a website, you have to put up a cookie banner. It does nothing - practically everyone just clicks accept. Lawmakers are living in some imaginary universe where consumers read th

I can't deny it - I'm enjoying it a bit too. Trump's disregard for legal process or even common decency is exactly how I've seen leaders in my country act. BUT I have to say that even in my 3rd world country, President&#

I do wonder how deep Facebook's tracking goes. I deleted my old account. A couple of years later, I had to make another one to advertise a new product I'm working on. I used my real name because it was tied to my FB advertising ac

It goes to show how good producers before the digital era were. Albums you'd consider 20th century masterpieces were recorded on 4-track recorders. They'd record a section, bounce it to one track. Record another section on the sec
