Obviously it was a College Senior position, with the visibility of the "College" part set to hidden.

Since ChromeOS itself is just a stripped down flavor of Linux, they can hardly just drop Linux support. Unless they also give up on ChromeOS, which is unlikely but not impossible for Google.

I think on some level Apple is happy to have this lawsuit at this time. The App Store revenue has become more significant and also presents big opportunities for growth. Especially with the arrival of ARM macs, the future points to a world

Rust's loss is Firefox's gain. I'm sorry to see you leave your Rust work, but I think Mozilla is right to have their best engineers focus on their core product. If we hope to see Firefox survive and remain relevant, then Mozi

Call me a pessimist, but I think Netflix will only be ad-free for as long as it is a competitive advantage. The day will come when that’s no longer true, and the ads will come. When their growth has stalled and they have raised prices as mu

I’m afraid it’s inevitable. If there’s a large enough audience, someone will be willing to pay to market to them. Almost no business will be able to say no to the money.

I thought Trump doesn’t like Microsoft anymore? Didn’t he want to block them from buying TikTok and would instead prefer Oracle as the acquirer? Anyway I can’t keep up. It’s all changing faster than middle school friendships.

$5k plus pilots (I’d want two for a transatlantic flight). And you’d still be stuck inside a very small space for 12 hours, with what’s likely to be a porta-potty level lavatory and minimalist galley. Oh, and a single piston engine, which i

Sure, there are all kinds of trade offs between speed, range, useful load, altitude, burn rate, etc. But it’s really the combination of 450, 4500, and 20+ that would make this plane revolutionary . Otherwise it wouldn’t be all that interes

Definitely some extraodinary claims that will require extraordinary evidence to prove. Especially getting 20+ mpg for 4500 miles, while flying at 450mph, which is near the top end of what piston/propeller aircraft are capable of. For r

Kind of like the term “hacker”? I’m just going to assume there’s a site out there called Dropshipper News where the white hat dropshippers gather to talk about their industry and bemoan the negative connotations the name has taken on.

Besides the massive heat/power issues you would have, main memory like DDR4 is optimized for different characteristics than graphics memory like GDDR5 (mostly trade offs in latency vs bandwidth).

Aren’t most of the sanctions related to the annexation of Crimea? Also, SA is an ally who allows a significant US military presence on its soil, in an area of strategic importance to global energy supply. Russia on the other hand still main

Ah, simply have separable battery modules that you drop from the plane as their charge is depleted. Put pop-out wings on them and use gps guidence so that they glide back to recovery centers on the ground, which you've had the foresigh

No offense toward your product (good luck!), but one of my pet peeves is marketing “NATURAL ingredients” like it’s automatically good for you. A lot of natural ingredients can kill you or make you very sick. I mean, tobacco is a NATURAL ing

If you think about it, it's not really surprising. Harvard is not going to take a kid who reads at a 6th grade level, no matter what. They will take an underrepresented minority kid who is probably just short of being an outright admit

To be fair, what the article proposes is more akin to a parent telling the kids, “pick up all the toys you care about, and anything that’s still on the floor by tomorrow is going to be donated.” My question is why can’t the process be autom

I think this is what The Great Gatsby was about. It is also possible to spend nearly (same O() but maybe different constant factor) as much on t-shirt and shorts as an Armani suit. Plus the fit of the clothes matter almost more than the b

Indeed. I always remember that when GW Bush nominated Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court, there was quite a bit of sniggering in the media about how her outfits looked like they’re out of a Talbot’s catalog. Of course she was also woefully
